Speaker 1: It's night.
Speaker 2: Une Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: By the way, this is going to be the last
Speaker 3: call for Paul. Paul a week ago. Last night, you
Speaker 3: were the closest predictor of the number of electoral votes
Speaker 3: that the winning presidential candidate would achieve. And we now
Speaker 3: have made two or three shoutouts for you. So I'm
Speaker 3: going to do one more and tomorrow night we will
Speaker 3: pick the second closest winner. UH, and so you will.
Speaker 3: You will not get the prize that if you call tonight.
Speaker 3: Let's just call Rob uh and you you picked Donald
Speaker 3: Trump with three hundred and fifteen electoral votes. You were
Speaker 3: off by three. I'd like to get the the night
Speaker 3: Side tope bag to you, but I'm not going to
Speaker 3: keep uh. If that was just the one time only,
Speaker 3: you're gonna you happen to listen to us. And he
Speaker 3: made a lucky guest, so be it. But we'll give
Speaker 3: you another one more night. If if someone knows Paul
Speaker 3: in South Boston as a regular nights I caller, I
Speaker 3: don't know that he is, but if he is, he
Speaker 3: needs to call Rob and let him know who he is,
Speaker 3: and we'll we'll get him the dope back. Simple as
Speaker 3: that congratulations, Paul. I think waiting in the wings will
Speaker 3: be Pelvis from Middleton. Paul was three votes away, Pelvis
Speaker 3: was five votes away. So Pelvis, we may be calling
Speaker 3: your name tomorrow night. All right, we are talking about
Speaker 3: the election. We're talking about some people who are quite
Speaker 3: upset with it, some of the stars from Hollywood, some
Speaker 3: of whom have threatened to leave. Now tomorrow, I guess
Speaker 3: just before lunchtime, former President Trump meets with current President
Speaker 3: by at the White House. I think it's going to
Speaker 3: be interesting whether or not it's a friendly meeting. I
Speaker 3: hope it will be, and who knows. The way it's
Speaker 3: set up, maybe President Biden will invite him to have lunch.
Speaker 3: I don't know, we'll see. My hat's off to Joe
Speaker 3: Biden for holding this meeting. He did not have the
Speaker 3: benefit of a meeting with Donald Trump in twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: So we're at least getting back to some sense of
Speaker 3: normalcy or normality, whichever word you'd like to use in
Speaker 3: the meantime, getting your reaction to what's been transpiring. And
Speaker 3: let me go to David san Antonio. Dave, welcome, you
Speaker 3: are back here on nightside. Go ahead, sir, Hi David.
Speaker 1: Good evening, Dan, Are you hearing me?
Speaker 3: Well, you always ask me that question and my answer
Speaker 3: is always the same. I hear you.
Speaker 1: Fine, Good, that's great. I just remembered a long time
Speaker 1: ago you told me to call you when I want
Speaker 1: to discuss the vik Ramaswami again.
Speaker 3: Please don't, please, don't kill my audience. But go ahead.
Speaker 1: Well, I I mean I.
Speaker 3: Was You know, if you want to mention that he's
Speaker 3: going to be involved in the administration, that's great, But
Speaker 3: I certainly don't want to devote a lot of time
Speaker 3: and effort to, you know, someone in the there's a
Speaker 3: lot of people to talk about. What do you want
Speaker 3: to say?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Well, you said you would admit you was wrong.
Speaker 3: Well tell me what I was wrong about? Did I
Speaker 3: did I tell you that that he was going to
Speaker 3: win the presidency? Or what? What? Did what did I
Speaker 3: tell you?
Speaker 1: You told me that I told you that he was
Speaker 1: going to be very important in the administration. He said,
Speaker 1: he's hardly known at all, And don't you know? And
Speaker 1: and well he hardly know.
Speaker 3: How How well did he do in the in the primary?
Speaker 1: Not very well?
Speaker 3: Not very well? Yeah, And when was our conversation? If
Speaker 3: I could ask if you I mean, I remember.
Speaker 1: The Iowa before Iowa.
Speaker 3: Okay, so so before Iowa. Let's see how long did
Speaker 3: it take before he dropped out?
Speaker 1: He dropped out after Iowa?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so I think I was right in that point.
Speaker 3: But if he gets a position in the administration, he's
Speaker 3: a smart guy, Dave, He's a smart, very smart guy,
Speaker 3: self made business man. I'll give you all that credit,
Speaker 3: But I think that the conversation we had was how
Speaker 3: well he was going to do? At least that's my
Speaker 3: recollection of it. Did you think he was going to
Speaker 3: win the nomination?
Speaker 1: No, I thought he was going to get the vice presidency.
Speaker 3: Okay, well I didn't, so I'll take I'll take the
Speaker 3: win on that there. But well we were Do you
Speaker 3: know do.
Speaker 1: You know who I predict me?
Speaker 3: Do you know who I predicted? You listen a lot.
Speaker 3: You know I said it would be the vice president.
Speaker 3: Do you know who it was it was? I said
Speaker 3: on this air And people will tell you that that
Speaker 3: this was This was probably I'm guessing a long about June.
Speaker 3: I could have to go back and look at but
Speaker 3: Rob will tell you I said it would be jd Vance.
Speaker 4: Well, there you're going and the reason I thought.
Speaker 3: That, the reason I thought that was Vance has an
Speaker 3: incredible story of survival. He came a really difficult situation.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: JD. Vance has had three last names in his life.
Speaker 3: Did you know that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just you know, he had a very difficult life.
Speaker 3: Well, his first name was Bowman, Okay, so his dad's
Speaker 3: Bowman bow m a n and then his mom married
Speaker 3: another guy. And I can look it up for you
Speaker 3: if you want, but it's something that the average person
Speaker 3: doesn't realize. As matter of fact, I'm going to do
Speaker 3: it for you because you're a you're a good caller
Speaker 3: right now. I was done to find that out. He
Speaker 3: was not born JD. Vance, Okay, And it is indicative
Speaker 3: of what a difficult life, you know, he had. He's
Speaker 3: only forty years old. Went to Ohio State. He was
Speaker 3: born James Donald Bowman August second of nineteen eighty four, okay,
Speaker 3: and then his mom married. He was born in Middleton, Ohio,
Speaker 3: to his mom, who was a Vance, and Donald Ray Bowman,
Speaker 3: who died in twenty twenty three. His parents divorced and
Speaker 3: who's a toddler. After Bowman was adopted by his mother's
Speaker 3: third husband, Bob Hammill. His mother changed his name to
Speaker 3: James David Hammill to remove the father's name while using
Speaker 3: his uncle name to preserve the nickname j D. And
Speaker 3: then and then she married I guess she married someone
Speaker 3: who she then gave him her family name, which was JD. Vance.
Speaker 3: So this is a guy who's had three last names,
Speaker 3: born into object poverty. Yeah, so that's you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: give him credit, its credit is due. It's I kind
Speaker 3: of imagine. I you know, I don't know what your
Speaker 3: background is, but that's a pretty non traditional background. To be.
Speaker 1: Sure, I've only had one last name in my life.
Speaker 1: I've had two first names. I've had two first names.
Speaker 1: I had to tell you. I was given a Jewish
Speaker 1: name first, but they wouldn't let me take it to
Speaker 1: the Catholic church. So I got the name David.
Speaker 3: You got to be named after a saint, I guess,
Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, was named after Daniel in the
Speaker 3: lions Den.
Speaker 1: And at first, at first my mother named me Falk
Speaker 1: f Alk it was the last name of a Jewish
Speaker 1: family Inschwitz. That guy didn't make it out, and out
Speaker 1: of sympathy, she gave me that as a first name.
Speaker 1: And when she went to baptize me as Catholic because
Speaker 1: my dad became Catholic also, and you know, they wouldn't
Speaker 1: let me be named f Alk Falk, so I took
Speaker 1: the name David.
Speaker 3: I think they've loosened up a little bit on that
Speaker 3: now recently. David. Always great to you, you voice my
Speaker 3: friend again.
Speaker 1: I just called to tell you something that you Cary.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, Okay. If I if Alex
Speaker 3: Jones is the next White House Press Secretary, I will
Speaker 3: fly to San Antonio, Texas, and I will genuine flect
Speaker 3: in front of you. He is a nut job. You
Speaker 3: know who's going to be the next White House Press secretary.
Speaker 3: The woman who is the press secretary on the campaign,
Speaker 3: Carolyn Levitt, who's from New Hampshire. Young woman. She ran
Speaker 3: for Congress in New Hampshire in twenty twenty two. She
Speaker 3: had the Republican nomination and she lost to Congressman Papace
Speaker 3: in New Hampshire. Take that one to the bank. Okay.
Speaker 1: They were also talking about Laura Lomer.
Speaker 3: Well whatever, I don't know who Laura Lomer is, but
Speaker 3: I'll you know again, j D. This guy Jones, I mean,
Speaker 3: he's anathema. He has done more damage to people here
Speaker 3: in New England with his lies about what happened. He's
Speaker 3: he's a huge, He's a he's a he's a he
Speaker 3: is a he is a guy who has made blood
Speaker 3: money and he's lost that blood money now. Thank God
Speaker 3: to the parents. Gotta go, Dave, do me a favor.
Speaker 3: I don't want to ever hear his name. Pass your
Speaker 3: lips again. That's how deeply I feel about that. Okay,
Speaker 3: thanks Dave, talking good night.
Speaker 1: A man.
Speaker 3: Look, I I allow all points of view, but that
Speaker 3: guy is is lower than he is. He is a snake. Okay,
Speaker 3: he's a snake and he has gotten everything that he deserves.
Speaker 3: He's nothing but a phony. He's a The words that
Speaker 3: come to mind I cannot use on the radio. We'll
Speaker 3: be back on night side. Feel free join the conversation.
Speaker 3: My blood pressure will be down by time I come back.
Speaker 2: Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World,
Speaker 2: Nice Sight Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Back to the phones, would go. Let me go to
Speaker 3: Bill and le Sington. Bill, bring me back to reality.
Speaker 3: How are your Bill?
Speaker 1: Bill? I'm yeah, I'm doing well. How are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3: Very happy to talk with you. I just I have
Speaker 3: strong feelings about that guy who who harassed and the
Speaker 3: new Town parents.
Speaker 1: Can Yes, it's a new day. We could all breathe freely. Now.
Speaker 1: I've never I'm fifty years old. I've never seen an
Speaker 1: election in my lifetime create so much stress amongst people
Speaker 1: with one side or the other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I can, yeah, I can be I can
Speaker 3: understand that. And I'll tell you why. I mean, there
Speaker 3: were a lot of people in the Trump camp who
Speaker 3: were convinced, either they convinced themselves or they were convinced
Speaker 3: that the twenty twenty election was stolen. And I think
Speaker 3: that that this election gave lie to that. Donald Trump
Speaker 3: ran a better campaign than the vice pop Yes, uh,
Speaker 3: and the issues were better for him. He you know again,
Speaker 3: he he had a lot of mistakes in the first
Speaker 3: in his first administration. If he if he repeats those mistakes,
Speaker 3: then then he'll suffer a similar consequence he has. You
Speaker 3: don't often get a chance at that level, a second opportunity,
Speaker 3: do you know what I'm saying, Well or not?
Speaker 1: And there's only one in history where that's ever occurred.
Speaker 5: Again, and most people don't know much about growth Cleveland,
Speaker 5: and they know less about Benjamin Harrison, the guy that
Speaker 5: beat him the first time, I mean Benjamin Hair and again,
Speaker 5: you know, to be.
Speaker 1: Honest, for you when you just said that name, that
Speaker 1: was the first time I can remember hearing it, like,
Speaker 1: you know, but he's undred percent. But I do believe
Speaker 1: he's setting himself up with success. He's putting right out
Speaker 1: of the right places. And I would rather pay a
Speaker 1: dollar eighty eight a gallon for gas in three eighty
Speaker 1: eight or four eighty eight in the right down the line.
Speaker 1: And I just you know, I just feel that America
Speaker 1: made the right choice in the America spoken volumes.
Speaker 3: I mean again, he you know, he succeeded in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four where he failed in twenty twenty. Uh And
Speaker 3: I'm not in any I don't even want to talk
Speaker 3: about the twenty twenty election because it's been literated. I
Speaker 3: think he made a huge mistake bring those people together
Speaker 3: in Washington on January sixth, with the language have stopped
Speaker 3: to steal and all of that is great.
Speaker 1: I will tell you. I did chuckle a little bit
Speaker 1: when I saw the results from DC and it was
Speaker 1: Kamilla Harris like ninety six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I understand that, and I led up. I
Speaker 3: think when Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale forty nine to
Speaker 3: one in nineteen eighty four. Mondale did carry his own
Speaker 3: home state of Minnesota, and he carried the District of
Speaker 3: Columbia when Nixon beat McGovern And remember we had the
Speaker 3: bumper strips up here. Don't blame me, I'm from millions. Yes, Massachusetts,
Speaker 3: he also won the District of Columbia. I just think
Speaker 3: that there's a lot of people in the District of
Speaker 3: Columbia who are Democrat. As a solidly Democratic district, they
Speaker 3: do get three members in Congress, although they do not vote.
Speaker 3: They're not voting members of Congress. There are three representatives
Speaker 3: of the District of Columbia, which is probably why the
Speaker 3: District of Columbia never should become a state, by the way,
Speaker 3: because it's a small little area. It was designed to
Speaker 3: be a non state because that.
Speaker 1: Was Nona exactly. And all of a sudden, I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people are breather of a better breath
Speaker 1: ofrea today than they were last week.
Speaker 3: Well, some people are. There's a lot of people who
Speaker 3: are very disappointed on the other side, and a lot
Speaker 3: of people on the other side. And by the way,
Speaker 3: we've talked about Seth Molton. I hope to have him
Speaker 3: on either Tomorrow night or Thursday night. He's he now
Speaker 3: is sort of the skunk at the garden party for
Speaker 3: the Democrats because he raised some issues that he thinks
Speaker 3: the party should talk about. And it's one of these
Speaker 3: things where the party is is not learning from their
Speaker 3: mistakes and they're saying, well, you shouldn't even raise that issue.
Speaker 3: And look, that's an issue that probably helped Trump. Trump
Speaker 3: use that issue. Do you know that Harris had a
Speaker 3: billion dollars in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that she spent in weeks and weeks she raised
Speaker 1: a billion dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and it was almost as if they had
Speaker 3: so much money. I'm still trying to track down, uh,
Speaker 3: and I really don't want to go there. But but
Speaker 3: there's been some talk that some of the entertainers that
Speaker 3: appeared and endorsed her they were paid for their adherence.
Speaker 3: Now I understand that maybe in their head they're going
Speaker 3: to say, well, I'm gonna go endorse the candidacy, but
Speaker 3: but I'm also going to say sing some songs. I
Speaker 3: want to find that out when when all of those
Speaker 3: filings are made, because if any of those entertainers took
Speaker 3: money from the campaign.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the lot. I have a lot of
Speaker 1: friends of mine right now, Dan, that are saying Robert
Speaker 1: de Niro was dead. To me, I'll love a watching
Speaker 1: of a movie he's never been in. He chose to make,
Speaker 1: he chose to make some serious statements.
Speaker 3: He was he was pretty vituperative. I mean, but he
Speaker 3: obviously feels that way. He's he lives in a country
Speaker 3: where where you have the right to say that, and
Speaker 3: he has the ability to say that, and and he
Speaker 3: he will not miss a meal by having said it,
Speaker 3: you know. So it's let's sell it.
Speaker 1: That's the United States. You have freedom of speech, and
Speaker 1: thank god we have that. You bet than we maintained that.
Speaker 3: You bet. Your your a voice of sanity. I'm the
Speaker 3: voice of reason, but your a voice of sanity. Thank you, man.
Speaker 3: I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Call you are you are the voice of reason. Dan,
Speaker 1: always a pleasure.
Speaker 3: Thanks, Thanks buddy, Touch you soon. Let's go to Joe
Speaker 3: in waitmouth, Joe, there's no nice I appreciate you calling in.
Speaker 3: Get you in here before the newscast at the bottom
Speaker 3: of the hour.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, thank you for pritiiculing my call. I'll be quick.
Speaker 6: I I don't what's that?
Speaker 3: What's that you're talk in the background. You sound like
Speaker 3: you're riding in a in a horse drawn carriage for
Speaker 3: a moment.
Speaker 6: Sorry, that's my directionals in my truck. Okay, I shut
Speaker 6: them off for you. I'm I won't be sorry to
Speaker 6: see anybody leaves that doesn't think that they need to
Speaker 6: be here anymore. Trump is and I think maybe we
Speaker 6: could solve the housing crisis also if that happens.
Speaker 3: Very very good point, very good point. I mean, some
Speaker 3: of the celebrities who are threatening to leave or have
Speaker 3: threatened to leave, they live in big, big houses. Maybe
Speaker 3: we could turn them into public housing or something.
Speaker 1: And and.
Speaker 6: Absolutely we need to, you know, think about other things.
Speaker 6: And it just does I mean, it doesn't make a
Speaker 6: lot of people happy that mister Trump is president elect,
Speaker 6: but it gives us the thought that we have four
Speaker 6: years to figure out that of all the people in
Speaker 6: this country, we've got to be able to find at
Speaker 6: least two people that are qualified to run for president.
Speaker 6: This was just awful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, look, we'll see what happens. He
Speaker 3: did not have a great first term, particularly after COVID hit.
Speaker 3: Now that's an unexpected surprise, so you give give him
Speaker 3: a little bit of flexibility there. He did some really
Speaker 3: dumb things and and I know f be upset that
Speaker 3: I would say that he you know, some of the
Speaker 3: phone calls that he made. I just don't want to
Speaker 3: go all there. I'm willing to wipe this slight clean.
Speaker 3: Let's see who he appoints. I thought that he made
Speaker 3: an appointment today which I think was a good one,
Speaker 3: and that was Mike Huckabee as the ambassador to Israel.
Speaker 3: How could he happens to be Christian? But I think
Speaker 3: that he would be well received in Israel. He's been
Speaker 3: a big supporter of Israel as I am. I think
Speaker 3: that's a good appointment.
Speaker 6: Yes, that that sounded good to me when I heard that.
Speaker 3: Also, Yeah, let's see what Let's see what happens. I
Speaker 3: know that the Democrats are putting some pressure on Justice.
Speaker 3: So Tamayor, who's only seventy years of age, which is
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of Supreme Court justice, is fairly young.
Speaker 3: She's been there for a while, but there are some
Speaker 3: Democrats that want to get her out so that this
Speaker 3: Congress can President Biden would have a chance to nominate it.
Speaker 3: I think that's wrong. I think that's wrong. The pressure
Speaker 3: was being brought brought to bear on her. You know,
Speaker 3: let's see how it all plays out here. I was
Speaker 3: happy to see that Senator Schumer today relented and allowed
Speaker 3: the Senator elect from Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, to participate in
Speaker 3: the uh the first day for new senators in Washington,
Speaker 3: the orientation session. I thought that was a good thing. Look,
Speaker 3: let's let's see how how this evolves. I mean, Donald
Speaker 3: Trump has has a second chance to make a first impression.
Speaker 3: You bet you at that level, you'd be like if
Speaker 3: you want to have an interview for a new job,
Speaker 3: and you during the interview you throw up on your shoes.
Speaker 3: You're so nervous. The next time you get a second
Speaker 3: chance to goin and you're very composed and you handle it. Well,
Speaker 3: good for you. So let's see what happens. That's that's all.
Speaker 6: Well, we we just have to give everybody a chance,
Speaker 6: that's all.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, Joe I said through for four years,
Speaker 3: Joe Biden was my president because we all have one president.
Speaker 3: And there were a lot of my my listeners who
Speaker 3: are upset about that. But I think every American and
Speaker 3: there'll be there'll be people on the other side of
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's not my president. That's not what this country
Speaker 3: is supposed to be about. We're democracy. The majority of
Speaker 3: people have voted. Now if President Trump makes mistakes.
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, that's we only have one president. You have
Speaker 6: to respect the office. You don't have to respect the
Speaker 6: person in the office.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And and I hope that that that judge down
Speaker 3: in New York one merchand does the right thing and
Speaker 3: says this case is over, because that stuff should not be.
Speaker 3: I don't want that stuff hanging over his head. That
Speaker 3: was a political prosecution in the first place, in my opinion, and.
Speaker 6: I think that's a pretty widely held opinion.
Speaker 3: Let's see what happens.
Speaker 6: Let's see what happens.
Speaker 3: Joe, great to talk with you. I enjoy the conversation.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 6: Dan. All Right, have a good nay, have.
Speaker 3: A safe trip home. Good night. We'll take a quick
Speaker 3: break eleven thirty here at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 3: I've got a bunch of calls and I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: talking with uh Laurie and Idaho. Always a pleasure. Bill
Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania, Alex and Joeann and Waltham and I have
Speaker 3: one one line open and it is this six coming
Speaker 3: right back on night Side.
Speaker 2: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get back to the phone. It's gonna go
Speaker 3: to Laurie Idaho. Laurie, welcome back. How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm good, No snow yet, Thank you very much. So
Speaker 4: I'm going to start out with just a little bit
Speaker 4: of humor. Maybe you're was it? Was it Paul the
Speaker 4: Bay guy? Maybe he's already even snagged by Biden for
Speaker 4: a position in the station. All right, I mean, and uh,
Speaker 4: excuse me, Trump for a position administration.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe, I mean he hit the he
Speaker 3: hit the he was three three electoral votes away, so
Speaker 3: you got to give the guy some credit. But I
Speaker 3: don't know where he is. Dope, Bak's going to go
Speaker 3: to someone else. I'm going to give it. IM going
Speaker 3: to send that out to you. No, we'll we'll get
Speaker 3: it to whoever it was second closest, unfortunately for Paul.
Speaker 3: So what do you think about?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: How's the lunch going? How is the meeting at the
Speaker 3: White House going to go tomorrow? In your opinion? I
Speaker 3: think this before you know.
Speaker 4: Well, So here's my thing with experience with people with dementia.
Speaker 1: They have no guile.
Speaker 4: So as far as Biden goes, it's going to be fine.
Speaker 4: Up well, and then I'm not being and then I'm
Speaker 4: not being demeaning. At any point, it's going to be fine.
Speaker 4: He's going to be genuine to the point he can be,
Speaker 4: and I think it's going to go okay, And so
Speaker 4: it because that's well, he's also a career politician. That's
Speaker 4: in his blood.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, no, no, no. But my question is it
Speaker 3: supposedly is the meeting is before lunch? What do you
Speaker 3: think the chances are we should put this on some
Speaker 3: sort of a betting website that that Biden turns herund
Speaker 3: and says, hey, Donald is great to see you. Come on,
Speaker 3: let's have lunch. I mean, I don't think lunch is
Speaker 3: on the schedule. I think the meeting is scheduled, but
Speaker 3: I don't know that lunch is on the schedule. So
Speaker 3: the question will.
Speaker 4: Be, well, I think that depends how much Jill is involved.
Speaker 4: Did you see the suit she wore when she went
Speaker 4: to vote yes?
Speaker 3: It was a very red suit carry.
Speaker 4: Yes, And somehow Biden got to get to Kamala hervy
Speaker 4: to any of them wanted to, and so I think
Speaker 4: she's a little bit on the revenge to her. So
Speaker 4: I think it will go quite well, and I think
Speaker 4: it will be quite charitable. And he may say for
Speaker 4: lunch if Biden wants, I mean, I if Trump wants to.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know. Well, I don't think it's.
Speaker 1: Going to be.
Speaker 3: Don't think it'll be what.
Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be acrimonious by any means.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, it was going to be acrimonious,
Speaker 3: would be first of all, Uh, there's no reason that
Speaker 3: that the president.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I mean so.
Speaker 3: And and by the way, you got to give Biden credit.
Speaker 3: He was not extended the courtesy by Donald Trump. Obviously
Speaker 3: the circumstances were quite different.
Speaker 4: Does he remember that though.
Speaker 3: I suspect he probably does. To be honest with you,
Speaker 3: I mean, I know what you're saying, but I think
Speaker 3: that probably sticks in his mind. We'll we'll see. I'm
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be fascinated by it, what they say. And
Speaker 3: obviously they'll do the the the walk in the room,
Speaker 3: sit down in the two chairs, shake the hands, How
Speaker 3: are you, how are you? Thank you? For the invitation,
Speaker 3: thank you for coming, and then the what the what
Speaker 3: the White House the Biden pressed me, thank you, thank you,
Speaker 3: time to be lieve, let's go. And of course they
Speaker 3: will be shouting questions. You'll hear the the the barking
Speaker 3: dogs of the White House media, and they'll be failing questions,
Speaker 3: so that neither President Biden or former President Trump will
Speaker 3: even hear what was being asked. I think it's yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's great that that, unlike other countries around the world,
Speaker 3: we have something like that tomorrow. I mean that seriously.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't want to, you know, get you know,
Speaker 3: romantic over it, but I think there's something very nice
Speaker 3: about that and reassuring. I wish it had happened four
Speaker 3: years ago, but it will happen tomorrow. So let's see.
Speaker 4: Well, and before you're I mean cod and codin COVID.
Speaker 4: COVID screwed us up so many years ago that everybody
Speaker 4: screwed up, even Trump was from I think Medica Agency
Speaker 4: was taking and everything else.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be longer than just a handshake.
Speaker 4: I think Biden will get into it and be into
Speaker 4: the the pomp and circumstance unless his wife doesn't let him.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is that, you know, Joe Biden will
Speaker 3: be sitting there. The cameras will be turned off. They'll
Speaker 3: show pictures of Donald Trump. Maybe he greets him at
Speaker 3: the front door, Maybe he doesn't. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's just to be interesting how the protocol will play out.
Speaker 3: I'm looking to see the protocol. Does he greet him
Speaker 3: at the front door, do they walk down the corridor together?
Speaker 3: I assume it will be in that meeting room where
Speaker 3: normally the president receives guests. Does and again, if it
Speaker 3: is a thing where Donald Trump walks into the room
Speaker 3: and President Biden is there, stands up and says welcome
Speaker 3: back or whatever he says, you know that. That'll go
Speaker 3: for about ten seconds, some platitudes back and forth, and
Speaker 3: then the White House media first people will okay, cameras off,
Speaker 3: thank you very much, thank you very much, and then
Speaker 3: we'll hear from them later. We'll hear from Trump later
Speaker 3: he meets apparently he's gonna meet with the Republican members
Speaker 3: of Congress up at the Capitol before he goes to
Speaker 3: the White House. So it's one of those great days
Speaker 3: we can look as Americans and say, hey, this ended peacefully.
Speaker 3: I mean it really is.
Speaker 4: Will be more friendly because Jill is going to make
Speaker 4: him be more friendly because he's really ticked off at
Speaker 4: the people who put him out of office. That's my
Speaker 4: my girls for politics thing. I'm thinking that he's going
Speaker 4: to be more friendly because she's gonna make him to
Speaker 4: be more friendly. She's really ticked off.
Speaker 3: Well, well do you know that missus Trump Malania is
Speaker 3: not going to the White.
Speaker 4: House with their I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she and she's upset that they when they
Speaker 3: rated Mari Lago that apparently they they trifled with some
Speaker 3: of her personal items.
Speaker 1: If you get my drift, I don't even want to go.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, they supposedly the complaint. The complaint was
Speaker 3: that they went and they searched the private.
Speaker 4: Quarters her personal her personal residence there exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so that's that's that's the side story.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: I I think I think Jill Biden has more more
Speaker 4: control over Joe Biden in this thing. She's gonna she's
Speaker 4: gonna be happy if he's like friendly and great and
Speaker 4: wonderful to the Donald coming in because she is so
Speaker 4: mad at what the Papa Masters did.
Speaker 3: Well, I think, I think again, we still need to
Speaker 3: get the story of who was behind the plan to
Speaker 3: move Joe out of the out of the.
Speaker 4: Nomination out of them, we don't know, but she's probably
Speaker 4: pretty ticket whoever you're gonna mind, I think.
Speaker 1: She's can be friendly to Trump.
Speaker 4: So okay, thanks Laurie, it's always your thanks.
Speaker 3: Let me go to bill and Pennsylvania Billia next on
Speaker 3: NIGHTSID welcome.
Speaker 7: Oh thanks, man, Hey, I just want to give you
Speaker 7: a rundown what I'm hearing down here in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 7: The first big news was that the Democrat vote coming
Speaker 7: out of Philadelphia around the area of Philadosia was down
Speaker 7: about twenty percent.
Speaker 3: I've heard that.
Speaker 7: The second information that's coming out is that this is
Speaker 7: one of the I think basically the first election okay,
Speaker 7: that the Menna Nights and the they okay, had an
Speaker 7: effect on the vote, on the popular vote, which is
Speaker 7: really something when you think about rural Pennsylvania. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 7: it's always been It's always been Philadelphia, Allentown and Pittsburgh
Speaker 7: and then the rest of the state. Well, yes, if
Speaker 7: rural Pennsylvania Okay, is getting involved in these in these elections?
Speaker 7: All right, that's a big, big deal here in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this. I saw I saw
Speaker 3: a piece last week that said the Trump campaign actually,
Speaker 3: you know, campaigned and they went and they asked the
Speaker 3: Amish and the Mennonites to vote. I don't know the
Speaker 3: difference between the Amish and the Mennonites, but obviously they
Speaker 3: are they they use horse and buggy. They don't use cars,
Speaker 3: and there's all sorts of you know, electrical appliances that
Speaker 3: they don't use. But have they in prior elections? Have
Speaker 3: they not got involved? Is this the first election that
Speaker 3: they voted in mass.
Speaker 7: Or Well they're they're trying to figure that out. But anyways,
Speaker 7: you know it so for those people, uh, it depends
Speaker 7: on what their bishop tells them.
Speaker 1: Dan. If their bishop says, you know, you guys should
Speaker 1: go out and vote, that will vote.
Speaker 3: Okay. Well the reason the reason I say that is
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that unless they applied for votes by mail
Speaker 3: and they mailed the ballots in that on election day,
Speaker 3: they should. Those people, the Mennonites in the Amish, you know,
Speaker 3: dress in very distinctive fashion. You think that they would
Speaker 3: have seen people walking in and out of voting locations.
Speaker 7: Well, I don't need Yeah, they're putting it together now,
Speaker 7: but that's what we're hearing now. I think what really
Speaker 7: turned everybody. There's a lot of people who are sitting
Speaker 7: on the fence, even up to the last couple of days.
Speaker 7: And what I think what really that those ads that
Speaker 7: we saw Kamala Okay in her own words saying about
Speaker 7: the you know trans if you're in jail and your
Speaker 7: trans you should get we should pay for your sex change.
Speaker 7: That that was a big one. And the other one
Speaker 7: was people people down here, Okay are watching before the
Speaker 7: you know, way back when, watching how bad Joe was,
Speaker 7: and they and the Democrats keep saying, oh, he's sharp
Speaker 7: as attacks. So that had a big effect. And I
Speaker 7: just think that what's gonna be interesting for me is
Speaker 7: when Donald takes his hand off the Bible and I
Speaker 7: think maybe right there at the podium, okay and his
Speaker 7: he's going to pardon himself and his family and mostly
Speaker 7: will be most of the Jay six inmates.
Speaker 3: And did you're talking about uh Trump?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought talking about Trump pardons.
Speaker 3: I think that would be huge. No, first of all,
Speaker 3: first of all, I think most of the he certainly,
Speaker 3: I think most of the federal charges are going to
Speaker 3: be dropped. I think that those those charges will go away.
Speaker 3: He will not have to pardon himself on those, and
Speaker 3: I think that Judge Marshawn is smart. He will vacate
Speaker 3: the the guilty verdict. The only case that still might
Speaker 3: be open is the Atlantic case, and that one is
Speaker 3: the weakest of them all. In my opinion, I hope
Speaker 3: that he does not pardon the j six defendants because
Speaker 3: I think that is some of the maybe cases where
Speaker 3: there was a misapplication of justice, but people who smashed
Speaker 3: windows at the Capitol, that's way over the top. Bill.
Speaker 3: I mean, that would be a huge mistake, a huge mistake.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna Yeah, in the past, he said he's going
Speaker 7: to do it, so I think he's gonna do it,
Speaker 7: and I think he's gonna. I think he's going to
Speaker 7: give himself a pardon and his family a pardon, because
Speaker 7: remember they were going after both of his sons and
Speaker 7: and uh and all that all that uh stuff.
Speaker 3: The Trump well, he has four years to give himself
Speaker 3: a pardon if he wants to number one and number
Speaker 3: two whatever that his sons might have been investigated on
Speaker 3: the statute of limitations might expire in the meantime, So
Speaker 3: we'll see, well, ye know, we'll we'll we'll see. I
Speaker 3: will remember it. And if he does it that way,
Speaker 3: I want you to call and take a victory leap.
Speaker 3: I got to run here because they got a bunch
Speaker 3: of calls behind us, and I got to give everybody
Speaker 3: a shot.
Speaker 1: Thanks than you need you.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I appreciate it. We'll take a
Speaker 3: quick break, joe In, Alex and Kristen. We will get
Speaker 3: you in. I promise gonna be a little bit tighter
Speaker 3: on time, but we'll get you in.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And if anybody else wants to try, give it a shot.
Speaker 3: Six one seven, six one seven. I have two lines open,
Speaker 3: one on each of those numbers. Give it a shot.
Speaker 3: If you get in, great. If you don't, that's your problem,
Speaker 3: not mine. Coming back on night.
Speaker 2: Side now bent to Dan Ray Mine from the window
Speaker 2: World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's run the table here as we say, Alex
Speaker 3: and Millis Alex next all nights.
Speaker 7: I go ahead, Hey, good eating, Dn, think uh, the
Speaker 7: meaning will go pretty cordial. I wanted to say one thing.
Speaker 1: I ran.
Speaker 7: I ran into our neighbor that lives on the other side,
Speaker 7: and she commented me on on my on my signs
Speaker 7: on my lawn. Although you said, I wish I had
Speaker 7: done that, but I was afraid of my neighbors. So
Speaker 7: till this day, people still you know, we're not We're
Speaker 7: not as united as you would think. Uh, you know,
Speaker 7: they hold they hold the crude. I don't know if
Speaker 7: that's gonna last, but uh, you know.
Speaker 3: Well I think it's gonna I think there would be
Speaker 3: some people who will never forgive. I don't know what's
Speaker 3: wrong with your radio there, but need to turn that
Speaker 3: radio down.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Think tells people that you're in the radio down right.
Speaker 7: I'm in the bad with me at the firmas sorry
Speaker 7: about that. You what it was the furness kicking on
Speaker 7: opened before.
Speaker 3: We just got a bad kndation, Alice, And I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: I have no idea where you're calling from. But try
Speaker 3: it again another time. Okay, thanks, Alex, appreciate it. Uh look, look, look, folks,
Speaker 3: they're trying to run a radio show here so that
Speaker 3: people can hear what's going on. And Rob, what was
Speaker 3: the problem with that? Phone call. Yep, no problem. They
Speaker 3: go to joe In and in Waltham joe In next
Speaker 3: on nights. I sorry, Alex, was just it was indecipherable
Speaker 3: what you were saying. Go ahead, joe In.
Speaker 8: Good to hear you, great.
Speaker 3: Joe In, go right ahead. What's your take on all
Speaker 3: of this?
Speaker 8: Well, as far as these movie stars and singers, will
Speaker 8: anyone even notice if they leave the country?
Speaker 3: Oh? I suspect some of them have a pretty high
Speaker 3: level notoriety. I mean, I think that if Barber starts
Speaker 3: saying word to leave, people would notice that. I don't
Speaker 3: think people would particularly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but would they care?
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. But I mean I think that, Gee,
Speaker 3: if Barbara Sid wanted to make a great and exit
Speaker 3: as she said and moved to is what she told
Speaker 3: the CBS Late nine show show host. I forget his name.
Speaker 3: I actually repressed his name in my mind. No, I
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean that we'll have to see these
Speaker 3: these threats have been made before. So far nobody has
Speaker 3: left the best pology if there is.
Speaker 8: No, I think of them already have places in Europe
Speaker 8: and you know.
Speaker 3: No, but I'm talking about giving I'm talking about giving
Speaker 3: up your citizenship. I'm not talking about like absenting yourself
Speaker 3: for six months and going to uhha A, Aruba and
Speaker 3: spending six months in Aruba. I'm talking about actually saying, hey,
Speaker 3: I I I'm leaving. I'm so disgusted as an American.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm surrendering my citizenship and I'm going to
Speaker 3: become a citizen of another country if if they'll have me.
Speaker 8: I don't know, and I have to tell you. At
Speaker 8: two in the morning on election night, when Trump and
Speaker 8: the family came out and they played, you know, proud
Speaker 8: to be an American, I brushed out crying.
Speaker 1: Well, I know, I.
Speaker 8: Just well, I just it was like all that tension
Speaker 8: and pressure of four years was released, and I finally,
Speaker 8: unlike Americans, get it. I was so proud that American
Speaker 8: people saw what was going on with the Democrats.
Speaker 3: It's a fifty to fifty election, and the Republicans can't
Speaker 3: sit back in their laurels. The Republicans have to do
Speaker 3: a good job.
Speaker 8: You'll, yeah, I know, but he did get more than
Speaker 8: you know, he got the majority, more than a good majority.
Speaker 3: You know, he got fifty two fifty point two percent.
Speaker 3: At this point of the popular vote, fifty two, right precisely.
Speaker 3: Now he did better in terms of the electoral college,
Speaker 3: and that's that's that's important as well, Joanne, I hate
Speaker 3: to quimp you here, but I got Christine in Deim.
Speaker 8: I'd like to give her about find Okay.
Speaker 3: Call more often when I miss hearing from you. Thank you,
Speaker 3: good night, Christine. Gonna, Well, how much time we got here, Rob?
Speaker 3: What are we looking at it? Two minutes? Okay, I
Speaker 3: got a minute for you, Christine, go right ahead.

Speaker 4: a chilly reception at the White House.
Speaker 3: Oh you think it's going to be a little frosty
Speaker 3: huh Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't think they'll shake hands, are all? I really don't.
Speaker 3: Oh they will, I'll bet you uh an ice cream cone?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll shake.
Speaker 3: They will have look the one whoever off is it? Look?
Speaker 3: I think those shake hands. I do remember, uh Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris and President Trump, President like Trump shook hands after
Speaker 3: their debate, or actually before their debate, if you remember,
Speaker 3: she kind of went over to Yeah, so I think
