Speaker 1: It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm doing you Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 3: The fourth and final hour coming up here on a
Speaker 3: Wednesday night in Boston. My name is Dan Ray, and
Speaker 3: this is WBZ, so let us reset here. Okay. We
Speaker 3: talked last hour about kind of a pre Halloween conversation
Speaker 3: about haunted homes and how they might affect people who
Speaker 3: live in haunted houses. And I want to thank my guest,
Speaker 3: Rachel Person, a realtor up a new report. Her group
Speaker 3: is a person in person group dot com and look,
Speaker 3: they deal with antique houses. I want to switch our
Speaker 3: focus now to the presidential race that is six days
Speaker 3: away a week from now next Wednesday. This race may
Speaker 3: be called maybe not. I want to share with you
Speaker 3: what my concerns are, and I hope that you will
Speaker 3: share with me your concerns. I have watched this race
Speaker 3: develop now, when you think about it, over eight years,
Speaker 3: going back to when Donald Trump first came down that
Speaker 3: escalator at Trump Tower and presented himself as a potential
Speaker 3: Republican nominee, I had real doubts about his ability to
Speaker 3: be elected, and certainly after the famous Billy Bush tape
Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen, I suggested and advocated that he would
Speaker 3: withdraw from the race. He didn't, and he got elected.
Speaker 3: Watched him during his presidency. You've heard my comments about him,
Speaker 3: which there were many of his policies which I think
Speaker 3: were good policies. But he survived himself with the cast
Speaker 3: of characters who some were competent, some were not, some
Speaker 3: were loyal, some were not. In twenty he lost to
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, and the the vote against Donald Trump was
Speaker 3: the vote for vote Joe Biden, I think was much
Speaker 3: more of a vote against Donald Trump. Now once again
Speaker 3: it appears he has become the the center of the race.
Speaker 3: I don't know that any Democrat would not have been
Speaker 3: able to do pretty well against him. The vice president
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Again the pronunciation of the name
Speaker 3: even it's people have pronounced it differently, but it's it's
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, like comma and then law uh. She she's
Speaker 3: on the press precipice of becoming the forty seventh president
Speaker 3: without having at this point won a nomination. That's it's been.
Speaker 3: It's been a strange, strange year, and I have a
Speaker 3: feeling I was hopeful that there would be a decisive
Speaker 3: victory that either uh, former President Trump or the vice
Speaker 3: president would have a decisive victory. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 3: that's still possible, but I'm not encouraged by it. Having
Speaker 3: talked the last two nights with Spencer Kimball of Emerson
Speaker 3: College and Dave Paleologus of Suffolk University, and I was stunned.
Speaker 3: I was absolutely stunned when I woke up on was
Speaker 3: it yes Monday morning not yesterday Monday morning to learn
Speaker 3: that a comedian who I guess Donald Trump doesn't know,
Speaker 3: but who was a part of the presentation at isrally
Speaker 3: at massive Madison Square Garden just in aged and you know,
Speaker 3: a real racist, outlandish comment. Now it's like the gang
Speaker 3: that can't shoots straight. I don't know if there are
Speaker 3: I think the Vice President today made a very sensible comment.
Speaker 3: She almost contradicted the president. The President, who last night
Speaker 3: was engaged in some sort of a roundtable discussion, made
Speaker 3: a comment in which he Joe Biden upped the ante.
Speaker 3: And I want you to hear what Biden said. He
Speaker 3: was on a zoom call with Voto Latino dot org,
Speaker 3: and somehow the issue came up about this stupid joke
Speaker 3: that this dumb comedian call told how the Trump campaign
Speaker 3: would have had such lack of vetting on the people
Speaker 3: who they were presenting at Madison Square Garden that he
Speaker 3: would tell the joke. I think all of you know
Speaker 3: the joke. I'm not even going to repeat it, but
Speaker 3: you know the context of the joke. This was President
Speaker 3: Biden yesterday compounding the problem. Now, I think he stepped
Speaker 3: into it here. Let's just cut one, cut one please
Speaker 3: do or.
Speaker 4: Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware,
Speaker 4: they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see
Speaker 4: floating down there is his supporters. His his demonizational scene
Speaker 4: is unconscionable, and it's on American.
Speaker 3: So I think he pretty clearly called Trump's supporters. He
Speaker 3: used the same phrase that the comedian used. Is there
Speaker 3: nobody out there in the political realm? Now again, I
Speaker 3: think the Vice president today actually made some comments that
Speaker 3: were were helpful. Okay, one of comments what was made
Speaker 3: last night, so it was made before the President made
Speaker 3: his comment. But it's just got so personal here. I
Speaker 3: don't know how this country's ever going to come together.
Speaker 3: You go back to Hillary Clinton, where she was made
Speaker 3: the famous comment about the deplorables in twenty sixteen, play
Speaker 3: cut one beef for me if you were.
Speaker 5: Dead, you know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could
Speaker 5: put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the
Speaker 5: basket of deplorables.
Speaker 3: I mean, that certainly didn't help her campaign. You would
Speaker 3: think that some of these politicians would learn from this.
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was on CNN yesterday with Caitlin Collins,
Speaker 3: one of their reporter slash anchors, and she kind of
Speaker 3: put it to Shapiro, and Shapiro, well, he dodged. The
Speaker 3: question is as simple as that cut three.
Speaker 6: Governor.
Speaker 7: First off, just what's your response to that comment from
Speaker 7: from President Biden where it sounds like he's calling Trump
Speaker 7: supporters their garbage.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Look, I had not heard that until now, Caitlin, so
Speaker 9: I'm kind of giving you my fresh reaction to it.
Speaker 9: I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or
Speaker 9: any Americans, even if they chose to support a candidate
Speaker 9: that I didn't support.
Speaker 3: But he didn't answer the question, and Colins didn't follow
Speaker 3: up with, in my opinion, a strong follow up. This
Speaker 3: was her follow up. It's pretty weak stuff. It's cut three.
Speaker 7: A did Oh in the White House is trying to
Speaker 7: say that what President Biden was saying, they're putting an
Speaker 7: apostrophe there in supporter saying it's the singular I guess
Speaker 7: referring to the comedian that supporters comments. I mean, it's
Speaker 7: hard to really look at that when you can listen
Speaker 7: to it for yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is what the President said. So what I
Speaker 3: am struggling with now, and I'm hoping that some of
Speaker 3: you might call, and I would invite anyone to call,
Speaker 3: but I'd love to hear from some new voters. How
Speaker 3: does this affect you? I don't know how this country
Speaker 3: comes back together irrespective of who wins. I was hoping
Speaker 3: that there would be a decisive victory and that we
Speaker 3: would be able to work ourselves out of this the standoff. Now,
Speaker 3: maybe I'm just being idealistic, but I just want to
Speaker 3: open it up. I'd love to hear from some people
Speaker 3: who could give me a little bit of hope and say, hey,
Speaker 3: irrespective of who wins, maybe this country needs to be
Speaker 3: shocked into something. I don't know. I've never seen it
Speaker 3: this bad in America, and I've covered and been around
Speaker 3: for a while I've covered going back to Jimmy Carter
Speaker 3: and Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale and
Speaker 3: George Bush and Mike Decaccas and Bill Clinton and George
Speaker 3: Bush and you know, all the different standoffs and the
Speaker 3: George Bush forty three and President Obama and Trump and Biden,
Speaker 3: and here we are. I'd like you to put aside
Speaker 3: for a moment who you're going to vote for, who
Speaker 3: you think is going to win. How does this country recover?
Speaker 3: How do we, on beginning November sixth, the day after
Speaker 3: the election, come to the realization that we have more
Speaker 3: in common than we have indifference. And I'm hoping that
Speaker 3: I'll hear from some new callers, and particularly from some
Speaker 3: young callers. I just feel we have spiraled down, down, down.
Speaker 3: And so we have a comedian at a Trump event
Speaker 3: making a really stupid joke. It wasn't even jokes are
Speaker 3: supposed to be funny. I don't see where that was funny.
Speaker 3: And then President Biden maybe he stumbled into it. It
Speaker 3: didn't sound to me like he stumbled into it. He
Speaker 3: basically equated Trump supporters with garbage six one seven, two
Speaker 3: four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty. Uh,
Speaker 3: I'm I am really concerned at this point as to
Speaker 3: where we're headed as a country. UH. If if you,
Speaker 3: if you would like to try to convince me that
Speaker 3: I'm wrong and that there's a way, there's a path forward.
Speaker 3: I don't see it, but I'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 3: Six one seven, four ten thirty, triple eight nine two
Speaker 3: nine ten thirty and six one seven nine three one
Speaker 3: ten thirty. Let's try to get positive here for the
Speaker 3: last hour, and then we have two more nights coming up.
Speaker 3: We will on Friday night have a conversation between a conversation,
Speaker 3: a discussion, UH on the whole question of psychedelics, which
Speaker 3: is question four, which I think will be an interesting
Speaker 3: conversation on Friday night with two folks C. J. Le Conte,
Speaker 3: who I had on last night UH and doctor Gami,
Speaker 3: who I spoke with on November not November, October seventeenth.
Speaker 3: They are on opposite sides of the issue. But tonight,
Speaker 3: let's talk about where this country's headed. Coming back on
Speaker 3: night's side lines of lighting up got one line open
Speaker 3: at six one, seven, two, five, four to ten thirty.
Speaker 3: Let's let's go past these politicians. I think let's go
Speaker 3: past these politicians and try to try to figure out
Speaker 3: where we're going from here, because you know, November sixth,
Speaker 3: or November seventh, or November eighth is coming and there
Speaker 3: will be a president elect. I don't know how we
Speaker 3: how we work ourselves out of this situation. Coming back on.
Speaker 2: Nightside now back to Dan Way live from the Window
Speaker 2: World to night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go. Let's let's get it going. Ladies.
Speaker 3: I want you to participate in this conversation as well. Again, Uh,
Speaker 3: this is something we all are going to have to
Speaker 3: deal with because I don't care which side of the
Speaker 3: great divide you're on. There are friends and family members
Speaker 3: on the other side of the divide. Let's go first,
Speaker 3: off to my Mike and data. Mike, thank you very
Speaker 3: much for calling in your first this hour and Nightside.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead.
Speaker 10: Hello, Mike, three great, can hear you?
Speaker 3: I can hear you. Now, go right ahead.
Speaker 10: Okay. I see three great divides and in the country
Speaker 10: maybe even maybe even abroad as well. Okay, asigned from
Speaker 10: the election, you you have a problem whereby three problems,
Speaker 10: liberalism and conservatism will never meet eye to eye. That's
Speaker 10: that's the first thing. That's that's well, that's not.
Speaker 3: A problem because they're two different philosophies. And we've had
Speaker 3: conservative presidents in my lifetime and liberal presidents in my lifetime,
Speaker 3: and they somehow, uh, you know, the pendulum swings back
Speaker 3: and forth. That's one of the strengths of a democracy.
Speaker 10: All right, Well, I see it differently. But the other
Speaker 10: two things of this the religious ideologies as well. But
Speaker 10: the big big creates a big wedge in the country.
Speaker 10: And lastly, the conflict between uh, the affluent versus the
Speaker 10: versus the non affluent.
Speaker 3: Okay, so what then, what solution? First of all, I
Speaker 3: think that those are natural divisions. I think that in
Speaker 3: any in any democracy, you're going to have some people
Speaker 3: who are looking for one form of government and other
Speaker 3: people looking for another form of government. It's coexisted in
Speaker 3: this country. We've had you know, we fought a civil
Speaker 3: war over issues. We always came together at the time
Speaker 3: of crisis, World War one, World War two, Great Depression.
Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan was a great president, a conservative. Bill Clinton
Speaker 3: was a very successful Democratic president. He was Barack Obama
Speaker 3: was elected twice. He certainly is different from Reagan. So
Speaker 3: you have. I mean, I don't see that as a problem.
Speaker 3: I see that as an asset. Do you think everybody
Speaker 3: in America is going to think exactly the same way philosophically.
Speaker 10: No, I doubt Actually my past Buscatta, I have to
Speaker 10: let you go, but thank you.
Speaker 3: Your cause about the had told him sorry about that, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what point he was making, and he
Speaker 3: was He's talked about a great divide religiously. There are
Speaker 3: some people in this country who have who fervently believe,
Speaker 3: and there are some people in this country who do
Speaker 3: not believe. That's one of the great things about this country.
Speaker 3: Try living in Iran and being a non believer. Try
Speaker 3: living in Iran and being gay. Try living in in Iran,
Speaker 3: uh and and and not support the government publicly. You
Speaker 3: got problems that the beauty of this country when you
Speaker 3: talk about UH rich and poor or wealthy and poor. Look,
Speaker 3: wealthy people UH create companies, create businesses that employ people.
Speaker 3: We have a society here and and a system of
Speaker 3: government of capitalism which allows people to through their own
Speaker 3: great device devices, devices to to improve their lot. We
Speaker 3: have examples of people who were born very poor in
Speaker 3: this country who end up wealthy. We also have an
Speaker 3: example of people who who fritter away I could use
Speaker 3: a different word, fritter away their wealth. Anyway, let's keep rolling.
Speaker 3: You see what others think. We're gonna go next to
Speaker 3: Dave in New Hampshire. Dave, you next to Nice. I
Speaker 3: go ahead.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 11: I'm not sure how you vote for this, but historically
Speaker 11: Americans have done the best when there's been a president
Speaker 11: and a Congress and it's been divided and the government
Speaker 11: only grows by about one percent per year. As long
Speaker 11: as the economy is relatively on track, we don't get
Speaker 11: a lot of violence, right, So the Eisenhower years and
Speaker 11: the Clinton years.
Speaker 10: That was what was best.
Speaker 11: But there's no way to vote for that, and presidents
Speaker 11: hardly ever seem to push for that. So I think
Speaker 11: what each of us can do as individuals it just
Speaker 11: makes sure we never push for federal spending. That's where
Speaker 11: these six and seven and four percent per year growth
Speaker 11: comes from, is because from people pushing for the federal
Speaker 11: government to spend more money.
Speaker 10: Just stop doing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Dave, I have the advantage of knowing
Speaker 3: where you're coming from philosophically, So you're a hardcore libertarian,
Speaker 3: which is fine, okay, but I don't want to get
Speaker 3: into the conversation with you at this point about what
Speaker 3: programs we have to cut in order to, you know,
Speaker 3: to employ that philosophy. I would dispute with you when
Speaker 3: you talk about the Eisenhower years. They were wonderful years
Speaker 3: of peace and harmony. However, during that those years we
Speaker 3: had a great civil rights struggle Brown versus Board of Education.
Speaker 3: We had segregation in southern states, which federal truth were
Speaker 3: called in to make sure kids could go to school
Speaker 3: in Arkansas. Historically, it was a period of time where
Speaker 3: we were the number one power in the world. After
Speaker 3: World War Two. It was a period right where I
Speaker 3: think America, the American people took a deep breath. The
Speaker 3: Clinton years were The great benefit of the Clinton years,
Speaker 3: in my opinion, was the success of the Reagan administration.
Speaker 3: The Soviet Union collapsed, we had no other competition around
Speaker 3: the world. So yeah, we did have a great years
Speaker 3: with Clinton. And as a matter of fact, Clinton was
Speaker 3: small enough to work with Gingridge, which I think is
Speaker 3: the point you're making. But you've got to go through
Speaker 3: some tough times to get to better times. My concern
Speaker 3: is that we are so divided as a nation that
Speaker 3: I don't know that whoever gets elected president, whether it's
Speaker 3: Vice President Harris or former President Trump, that the majority
Speaker 3: of people in this country are going to give either
Speaker 3: one of them a chance to succeed.
Speaker 11: We can handle the political division as long as the
Speaker 11: government doesn't bankrupt us and turn the political crisis into
Speaker 11: an economic crisis by spending too much.
Speaker 3: Well, look, someone will say that we have a spending problem.
Speaker 3: We do have a spending problem. But how are you
Speaker 3: going to eliminate the spending? I'm realistically, are you going
Speaker 3: to say to people who have earned social security, we're
Speaker 3: cutting your social security? Are you going to say to
Speaker 3: people who who now benefit from I was in line
Speaker 3: at a grocery store today and there was a woman
Speaker 3: in front of me who, you know, looked as if
Speaker 3: she was She did look poor, She was well dressed,
Speaker 3: and she ran up a bill of about I don't know,
Speaker 3: fifty dollars in groceries, and she handed a card to
Speaker 3: the clerk in line, and the clerk put the card
Speaker 3: in and her bill was reduced from fifty dollars to
Speaker 3: seven dollars. And you know, she had some sort of
Speaker 3: government program card which allowed her to get fifty dollars
Speaker 3: with the groceries for seven dollars. You're going to take
Speaker 3: those cards away from people at this point. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. I don't know what the answer is.
Speaker 11: But well, the thing I'm speaking in favor of here,
Speaker 11: although it's not perfect, is it's not cutting the government necessarily.
Speaker 11: It's just reducing the rate of growth to one percent
Speaker 11: like it was under Eisenhower and Clinton. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 11: You maintain social security.
Speaker 3: If you do that, where do you cut?
Speaker 11: I'm not saying you have.
Speaker 10: To cut anything.
Speaker 11: If you're you're increasing by a percent a year, that's
Speaker 11: not enough. The government's already three times what is it
Speaker 11: three times as big as it was under Clinton? Is
Speaker 11: that's not big enough?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know that. We have not gone over
Speaker 3: the cliff already, is what I'm trying to say. And
Speaker 3: I think that if if if you know what our
Speaker 3: GDP is, and you know what our debt our debt is,
Speaker 3: you know we have a federal debt of what thirty
Speaker 3: five trillion dollars? Now, how are we going to pay
Speaker 3: that off?
Speaker 11: Well, one way to not pay it off is by
Speaker 11: increasing the government more than one percent a year.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because it's help point, we'll have to do
Speaker 3: something very dramatic. But I don't think the average person
Speaker 3: understands that concept. Our GDP is significantly less than thirty
Speaker 3: five trillion dollars, and whatever the gd Whenever the debt
Speaker 3: exceeds the GDP by that percentage, by that amount of money,
Speaker 3: we're in we're in trouble financially. But and we can
Speaker 3: talk about that some night. I'm just trying to figure
Speaker 3: out how we can get everybody kind of on the
Speaker 3: same page and at least say, guess what, I disagree
Speaker 3: with half the country, but they're not bad people. There's
Speaker 3: just too much invective going back and forth. If you
Speaker 3: can't get rid of the invective, I don't think anyone
Speaker 3: can govern it. Maybe that's what I'm saying. Dappreciate your thoughts,
Speaker 3: and I appreciate you continue to be a listener and
Speaker 3: a contributor to this program, and we will sure be
Speaker 3: dealing with a lot of the issues that you've just raised.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to I'm trying to get to a point
Speaker 3: where people at least will talk to each other over
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving dinner. And I'm not sure that's going to happen
Speaker 3: this year in my opinion. Thank you, Dave.
Speaker 8: Nothing to add, Thank you have a great night.
Speaker 3: Six month, seven thirty. That's the only line that's opening
Speaker 3: right now. I've got a couple of lines open there
Speaker 3: and ladies that love to have you contributed this conversation
Speaker 3: because I think we're in a bad place, and I
Speaker 3: think that I think it's only gotten worse in the
Speaker 3: you know, with everything that's happened in the last few months.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think we're going to have a
Speaker 3: close election. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the posters are wrong,
Speaker 3: but I think it's going to be a close election.
Speaker 3: It'll be probably a disputed election, and we might be
Speaker 3: back to something like twenty twenty again, which will not
Speaker 3: be a good thing for the country at all. Back
Speaker 3: on Nightside after this.
Speaker 2: Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the calls we got Sean in Revere. Sean,
Speaker 3: you're next on Nightside. Welcome, thanks for checking in.
Speaker 12: I'm gonna tell a little story, but it's gonna come
Speaker 12: back around if you don't mind. Go right ahead, all right.
Speaker 12: A few years back, when Trump was in office. I
Speaker 12: tried running for Congress. I went around tracking and one
Speaker 12: of the people I started at.
Speaker 3: Home, do me a favorite, Sean. You're breaking up on me. Dan,
Speaker 3: take Sewan's call and see if you can get him
Speaker 3: in a spot where we can hear him because he's
Speaker 3: breaking up. Well, tell Shawn, I'll come right back to him.
Speaker 3: But he needs to get by a window or something
Speaker 3: on a cell phone. It's just a bad connection. Let
Speaker 3: me go to Mark in Cambridge. Mark, you were next
Speaker 3: on nicside.
Speaker 8: Go right ahead, Mark, you know I did.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead, bark.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I'm trying to make it short and simple. I think
Speaker 13: it was a disrespect. First of all, I'm not trush,
Speaker 13: I'm not garbage, and I am a Trump support him,
Speaker 13: And what Joe Biden said was an insult, disrespect to
Speaker 13: all of us. And what's his name there, comedian making
Speaker 13: talking about Puerto Rico being garbage. That was aweso an insult.
Speaker 13: But he did not represent Donald Trump or the Donald
Speaker 13: Trump movie.
Speaker 3: Well, I disagree with you a little bit, to be
Speaker 3: honest with you on that, Mark in that he was
Speaker 3: at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden and he
Speaker 3: was an invited speaker. Now, if someone in the audience
Speaker 3: who had walked in had jumped up and said something
Speaker 3: really disrespectful or stupid, I could buy that. But this
Speaker 3: guy should have been vetted by the Trump campaign and
Speaker 3: he should have been told, look, you know he apparently
Speaker 3: this guy has a reputation of being a nasty comic,
Speaker 3: one of those guys. I guess he was involved in
Speaker 3: the in the Tom Brady roast. But when you when
Speaker 3: you're appearing at at Madison Square Garden as an invited guest,
Speaker 3: as a you know, a presenter, I think that the
Speaker 3: Trump team had an absolute obligation to make sure that
Speaker 3: he he didn't say something that vile and that stupid
Speaker 3: and that that racist.
Speaker 13: I don't know, I don't think he I don't think
Speaker 13: Donald now exactly.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he didn't. But at the same time, I
Speaker 3: think that I think that that let us say that,
Speaker 3: well again, we'll we'll just disagree to disagree on that one, mark, Okay.
Speaker 3: I just think that that if he was someone who
Speaker 3: was telling a joke in a in a comedy club,
Speaker 3: you know, twenty blocks away, Donald Trump's hands are clean.
Speaker 3: But he was an invited speaker, entertainer on the program
Speaker 3: at a Trump rally. Why would why would they not?
Speaker 3: Why would they not have have just pulled the guy
Speaker 3: off the stage and said, hey, that's just wrong. I mean,
Speaker 3: what else could have he said that? I just don't
Speaker 3: understand it from I don't understand why you would allow
Speaker 3: someone to be associated with your campaign that way.
Speaker 14: I don't know, Oh, maybe he's voting for Kamala decided
Speaker 14: to go to Madisons where I gotten to say that.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, here's the thing. You almost look at
Speaker 3: me and say, was this guy there intentionally looking to him?
Speaker 3: I mean, he did a great job. If his job
Speaker 3: was to embarrass the Trump campaign. Whoever vetted him for
Speaker 3: the Trump campaign, Uh, failed miserably. And I've never heard
Speaker 3: of the guy. I've never seen him perform before. But
Speaker 3: it sounds to me like he was an insult comic
Speaker 3: and that was what that was, what his h his
Speaker 3: stick was. I guess the only way I could describe it.
Speaker 3: All right, Thanks, thanks, Mark.
Speaker 13: Appreciate for taking my call.
Speaker 3: Thank you for calling in. Keep calling. How old are you?
Speaker 8: Mark? I am fifty.
Speaker 14: I just turned fifty six, all right.
Speaker 8: From Central Square, Cambridge.
Speaker 3: Mark, m all right, Mark, keep calling? Okay, Thanks very much. Again,
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear from some young people tonight. I meant,
Speaker 3: you're the one who's going to inherit a badly divided
Speaker 3: country and the only lines open are the only lines
Speaker 3: are open at six one seven. Let me go next.
Speaker 3: We lost Sean. Did you ever pull Shawn's line back
Speaker 3: up or no, Dan, he just dropped. Okay, Sean, if
Speaker 3: you call back tight at six point seven, we will
Speaker 3: get you. We'll get you back in line, I promise. Okay,
Speaker 3: let's go to Joke in Boston. Joe next on Nightside.
Speaker 8: Good evening there, and my brother.
Speaker 3: Joe, how are you tonight? Right back at you, my brother,
Speaker 3: go ahead.
Speaker 15: I'm grat, but I'm a little disappointed in you.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 14: Tell me why in this so you were sounding earlier when.
Speaker 16: You first started, like you were joke at sicking on
Speaker 16: calling a game. Well, you know, there is a fly
Speaker 16: ball and it's a last tile. He sound like you
Speaker 16: were disappointed about Kamala Harris being on the bottom of
Speaker 16: this time.
Speaker 8: I don't know why, but in that was my perspective
Speaker 8: that I.
Speaker 3: Was disappointed in Vice President Harris being weird Joe, like,
Speaker 3: you know, like he.
Speaker 16: Was down because of all these mens that have transpired
Speaker 16: right now that actually, but if it's nobody because we
Speaker 16: are so divided that it's just you know, insane.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just think that when you have a comedian
Speaker 3: calling a group of people garbage at a Trump rally,
Speaker 3: and you have Joe Biden the next day calling the
Speaker 3: Trump support is garbage, just like, where's where where's that
Speaker 3: respect for each other going, Joe? That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: I just think they're just showing them through colors.
Speaker 16: Then, to be honest with you on both sides, on
Speaker 16: both sides, because I mean, this is unacceptable.
Speaker 3: I mean totally, it's totally unacceptable. Yes, and I'm probably
Speaker 3: going to alienate people on both sides. But I got
Speaker 3: to tell, how would I really.
Speaker 17: Believe Joe exactly? I mean, this guy came out nobody
Speaker 17: better him. I mean, we just sometimes to do and
Speaker 17: that's what happens. So trumped on the first I mean,
Speaker 17: as trade, and he did.
Speaker 16: Not know what to do or how to go about
Speaker 16: broadning the business of the White House.
Speaker 8: That's why it was a shamble and.
Speaker 3: He paid and he paid a price for that inability
Speaker 3: to to hire competent and loyal people, and I'm.
Speaker 15: Sure he should because he didn't know any better. I
Speaker 15: think that right now he knows much much better. I
Speaker 15: do not know if he's going to get in, but
Speaker 15: if he does, I think it assumed that he's going
Speaker 15: to be surrounding with much better people.
Speaker 3: Whoever gets in, I hope they surround themselves with with
Speaker 3: with better people.
Speaker 8: I just.
Speaker 3: I'm worried, Joe about it. Just seems that we keep
Speaker 3: going to lower and lower and lower, and you.
Speaker 8: Know it is im.
Speaker 16: I'm worried, just and I get that when it comes
Speaker 16: to Kamada Harris, we do not know who she is
Speaker 16: or what he represents because he hasn't told anybody what
Speaker 16: you represent what she wants to do. Jesus have a
Speaker 16: few words that she has on her mind, and it's
Speaker 16: just recorder of her mind. And that's why she claims
Speaker 16: at all times.
Speaker 8: You know, when she comes out, he hasn't.
Speaker 16: Doing an interview with anybody of essence to say, you know,
Speaker 16: this is my plan for the country or.
Speaker 8: This is that.
Speaker 16: On the other hand, as much I do, I do
Speaker 16: not like Trump myself. I love his policies, I don't
Speaker 16: like the guy.
Speaker 8: I crange every.
Speaker 14: Time I hear him. However, they are helping him. Of
Speaker 14: all the other people that they have, from Tamala Harris
Speaker 14: to her vice president, to Donald Trump, and he's vice president,
Speaker 14: I think the.
Speaker 16: Most qualified of the all four of them is.
Speaker 14: The vice president Trump Man.
Speaker 8: He's the only person whounds normal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's It's amazing how we end up with the
Speaker 3: two major parties with candidates who are in In Donald
Speaker 3: Trump's case, UH is still standing after everything that that
Speaker 3: he has gone through. UH, and the Republicans chose to
Speaker 3: back him. And on the Democratic side, UH, they must
Speaker 3: have known that Joe Biden was losing it, and Joe
Speaker 3: Biden should have stepped aside earlier and said, look, I'll
Speaker 3: continue as president, but I've decided that I cannot go
Speaker 3: any longer. And and therefore the Democrats could have had
Speaker 3: a primary. Joe, I'm way passed my break, so I
Speaker 3: got to run. But thank you for calling. And I
Speaker 3: think that we do see the world in a similar fashion.
Speaker 3: And I think I think we worry about the same thing.
Speaker 3: We worry about our kids and our grandkids in what
Speaker 3: sort of country they're going to inherit.
Speaker 8: I know, Dan, I mean, it was really on the
Speaker 8: Democratic site was reading and running. The show is a
Speaker 8: big media.
Speaker 16: They are the ones they first they put this first
Speaker 16: guy that it was a big guy like Ernest comes
Speaker 16: to camp.
Speaker 14: Ernest comes to the presidency.
Speaker 8: Right now, what do they have.
Speaker 14: The mcdonna comes to the presidency because you have nothing?
Speaker 8: Good night, Dan, I love you, my brother.
Speaker 3: Right back at you. Thank you, Joe, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Talk to you soon. Good night. Well, take a very
Speaker 3: quick break. I'm going to try to get everybody in.
Speaker 3: I do wish that Mark, who we lost, could call back.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: If if you do call back, Mark, we'll we'll get
Speaker 3: you bumped up. No, no, yeah, it was Mark and
Speaker 3: Cambridge that we lost. We'll be back on night Side
Speaker 3: right after this.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Speaker 2: Light Sight Studios on w b Z the news radio.
Speaker 3: Brother Ware, I was mistaken that with Sean and Revere.
Speaker 3: Sean call back some other night. I guess you were
Speaker 3: in a car according to Dan, and we lost you. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm going to try to get everybody in. It's going
Speaker 3: to be tight, it's going to be tough. Let's see
Speaker 3: what happens. Alex and Stowton. Alex, give it me quickly,
Speaker 3: go ahead, Alex.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I just want to say you talked about earlier
Speaker 18: how we can have a conversation at the Thanksgiving table.
Speaker 18: I'm a twenty five year old guy. You know my family.
Speaker 18: You know, if my grandparents certainly more conservative than I am,
Speaker 18: and for me, really the only limitation is when you
Speaker 18: talk about human rights, when you talk about you know,
Speaker 18: I don't like people because they are other in some
Speaker 18: sort of way. That's my line. But if you want
Speaker 18: to talk about the economy, you want to talk about policy.
Speaker 19: That's reasonable.
Speaker 3: I think that's reasonable. I think that's an absolutely reasonable
Speaker 3: position to have. And understand that your grandparents are still
Speaker 3: your grandparents, and they've loved you their entire life, and
Speaker 3: they're not perfect. None of us are perfect, so you know,
Speaker 3: just you know, try to rationally reason with them and
Speaker 3: maybe you'll bring them around. I suspect that a conversation
Speaker 3: will do more than yelling back and forth.
Speaker 18: I think, certainly, just a little bit of try.
Speaker 3: By the way, I gotta tell you, the Dodgers have
Speaker 3: just won the World Series. Just it's all over. The
Speaker 3: the Yankees have lost. The Dodgers have won.
Speaker 8: Okay, that's a wonderful thing.
Speaker 3: To hear. Well, you heard it well on the radio,
Speaker 3: Alex doing your favors a twenty five year old. I
Speaker 3: want you to become more of a regular caller. You
Speaker 3: make a lot of sense, man, and I need to
Speaker 3: hear your voices because you're gonna inherit this country as
Speaker 3: screwed up, maybe as we're gonna leave it to you.
Speaker 18: Okay, definitely want to call again. And yeah it's a
Speaker 18: bit screwed up, but you know, we'll get through it.
Speaker 3: Is this your first time calling, by the way, first
Speaker 3: time calling?
Speaker 8: Yeah, gotta give.
Speaker 3: You ron of applause. Come on back soon, Okay, appreciate
Speaker 3: it very much.
Speaker 18: Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: You're very welcome. Great call that made my night. That
Speaker 3: one call there has made my night real quickly here
Speaker 3: going to go to Charlie and Saugus. Charlie, gotta be
Speaker 3: quick for me, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hian, thanks uh.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: One lot that comes to mind is if we can
Speaker 6: look at each other as all members of one big
Speaker 6: him and family and treat each other with neutral respect,
Speaker 6: that would help a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And we can look at each other as one
Speaker 3: American family, I mean, you know, human family. Whatever you want.
Speaker 3: I mean, there are other families around the world who
Speaker 3: would like to destroy all of us if they had
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon. They were dropping on every city in America,
Speaker 3: and we should not forget that.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's why the respect is so important. Neutral respect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a key word of the night. Charlie. Thank
Speaker 3: you for joining us. I appreciate your call. I'll give
Speaker 3: you more time next time. Okay, thank you, my friend.
Speaker 3: All right, have a great night. Gene. You got to
Speaker 3: be quick for me. I'm going to get you in
Speaker 3: a couple more and go ahead, Gene. I Dan, so.
Speaker 20: I don't feel like there's any anything to talk about
Speaker 20: at the Thanksgiving table. I went food.
Speaker 3: Shopping and be a pretty quiet place at your house then.
Speaker 20: Okay, yeah, I went food shopping today. I felt like
Speaker 20: it was in a foreign country. There were people from
Speaker 20: all other countries.
Speaker 21: Okay.
Speaker 20: One guy had his face all tattooed, all the way
Speaker 20: down the neck and arms.
Speaker 3: All right, Jeane, that's not what we're talking about tonight.
Speaker 20: I'm not talking about tonight. It's a little scared at
Speaker 20: that point. No, but Dan, this is this is it.
Speaker 20: There's not going to talk about because it's right. The
Speaker 20: writing's on the wall.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well, I'll tell you that's a pretty
Speaker 3: dystopian view, and if that's your view, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: in thirty seconds change you on it, hopefully over time.
Speaker 20: Let me just say, the lady in front of me
Speaker 20: spent two hundred dollars on food. She had an EBT cut,
Speaker 20: and she gave her the lady fifty dollars in cash.
Speaker 20: Me I spent one hundred and thirty in cash. I
Speaker 20: still have to go back in two days and figure
Speaker 20: out meals for five dinners. Okay, I don't have an
Speaker 20: EBT cut. All right, this is the mystery, Gane.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let you go because they have other folks
Speaker 3: who have called. And again you're a little off topic
Speaker 3: where I was trying to get to tonight. But feel
Speaker 3: free to call again. Thank you so much. Bob Hockey to.
Speaker 21: Dan will be real quick. Do you remember what I
Speaker 21: cattle and Allbright said eight years ago?
Speaker 3: What Madeline Albright said eight years ago? No refresh my recollection.
Speaker 21: Okay, she was at the college and she was supporting
Speaker 21: and endorsing Hillary Clinton, and she said, any woman who
Speaker 21: does not vote for Hillary Clinton is a special place
Speaker 21: in hell for them.
Speaker 3: Now, I remember that comment, and that certainly didn't contribute
Speaker 3: to a rational conversation. You know again, you know there's
Speaker 3: been crazy statements made on either side, on both sides.
Speaker 21: And I agree. That's why I'm an independent after being
Speaker 21: you know, a Democrat for years. When I ran for
Speaker 21: the Governor's Council of ninety two, i left the Democratic Party,
Speaker 21: but they really left a lot of us.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you about appreciate you calling. How much time left?
Speaker 16: Dan?
Speaker 3: Please? Half? Okay, We're gonna try to get everybody in. Jim,
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you about thirty seconds. Jim, go
Speaker 3: right ahead. I'm sorry, we're really tired.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'll be very quick. Sean, you shouffle your feet,
Speaker 1: you lose your seat. Hey, think about all the things
Speaker 1: Wanda Sykes has said, and think about when the Stones
Speaker 1: went on, Ed Sullivan and the other thing. When you
Speaker 1: do comedy, you always take the risk of telling a
Speaker 1: bad joke. The guy told a bad joke. Come on,
Speaker 1: it was it was.
Speaker 3: It was worse than a bad joke. It was a
Speaker 3: stupid racist joke, which reinforced.
Speaker 14: It was about He wasn't even talking about the people.
Speaker 14: He was talking about the island.
Speaker 3: He was talking. He said, we'll disagree. We'll disagree, Jim,
Speaker 3: you can just send that one if you want. Thanks, Man,
Speaker 3: talk to you soon, all right, last last of the night, Karen,
Speaker 3: I got twenty seconds for you. You're late, Go ahead, Karen.
Speaker 19: All I wanted to say is I wish people would
Speaker 19: try to get along more. And these politicians, both Trump
Speaker 19: and Kamala, will tell us the plans more about the
Speaker 19: plans that they have for our country. And that's really
Speaker 19: and then I just wish it'd get along better.
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that one. Thanks, Thanks, Karen. Okay,
Speaker 3: we'll talk soon. Okay, give you more time next time
Speaker 3: you called a little too late. We're done to the night, Dan,
Speaker 3: great job tonight. The Dodgers are the world champions. They've
Speaker 3: beaten the Yankees four games to one. We had an
Speaker 3: interesting show tonight. We'll be back tomorrow night right at
Speaker 3: it again. I'll be on Facebook Live and about a
Speaker 3: couple of minutes, All dogs, all cats, all pets go
Speaker 3: to heaven. That's where Mike Pal Charlie Rays who passed
Speaker 3: fourteen years ago in February. That's where all your pets
Speaker 3: are who were passed. They loved you. And you love them.

Speaker 3: tomorrow night on night side. Everyone have a safe and
Speaker 3: happy Thursday, and we'll be back tomorrow night. Thanks
