1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>It's eyes Dan Untell you Mazy Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, interesting story today if you are a political junkie,

3
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of us are political junkies who listened

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 2>to Nightside. The General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood

5
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>of Teamsters decided not to endorse any candidate for president

6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>of the United States. Now, the Teamster represents about one

7
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 2>point three million members. That's a lot of members. You

8
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 2>might remember that Sean O'Brien, who's the president of the Teamsters,

9
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>spoke before the Republican Convention in July. He said, today, unfortunately,

10
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 2>not the major candidate was able to make serious commitments

11
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to our union to ensure the interest of working people

12
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>are always put before big business, said President Sean O'Brien.

13
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>He added that the union quote sought commitments from both

14
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Trump and the Harris to both Trump and Harris not

15
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 2>to interfere in critical union campaigns or court Teamster industries,

16
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 2>and to honor a member's right to strike, but they

17
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 2>were unable to secure those pledges unquote. Now, as I mentioned,

18
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 2>O'Brien was a speaker. He was invited to speak at

19
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 2>the Republican National Convention, and he did. I guess he

20
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't get a similar invitation from the Democrats a couple

21
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago, and faced the nation, he talked about

22
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>that this is cut number twenty nine, rob on our cutsheet,

23
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Cut twenty nine.

24
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say this, whatever the critics out there, and

25
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 1>they are very few in the leadership, whenever I get

26
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to highlight the American worker, especially the teams

27
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 1>to worker, I'm going to take any and all venue.

28
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>We asked both conventions respectively at the same time, and

29
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 1>the Republican National Convention immediately responded to us, didn't try

30
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and edit edding of our messages, and I was hopeful

31
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that the Democrats would do the same, but they didn't.

32
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not upset about it, but I can tell you this,

33
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 1>my rank and file members, who have been lifelong Democrats

34
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>are not happy about it.

35
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>So in the run up to this decision, the Teamsters

36
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>have run some polls of their members, and maybe it

37
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>would be surprising for you to find out that the

38
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Teamsters released the results of an electronic poll of Teamster's

39
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>members which show showed fifty nine point six percent let's

40
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>round it to sixty percent supporting a Trump endorsement. Compared

41
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 2>to thirty four percent supporting a Harris endorsement. This is interesting.

42
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 2>This is interesting. The Teamsters have endorsed every Democratic candidate

43
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>presidential candidate of this century, starting with Al Gore in

44
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>two thousand, John Kerry in twenty twenty four, President Obama

45
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and eight and in twenty and twelve,

46
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, Joe Biden in twenty and twenty.

47
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>So that's when you think about it. If you list

48
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 2>go to the list, it's Gore, Kerry twice for President Obama,

49
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden. So you have to go back

50
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to nineteen ninety six when the Teamsters union did not

51
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>endorse the Democrat and they chose not to endorse Bill

52
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Clinton in nineteen ninety six because he had just signed

53
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the NAFTA deal, which was a sellout of a union

54
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>of unions by a Democratic resident ironically, so this is

55
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 2>a big step. They didn't endorse Donald Trump. But in

56
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, and it's only my opinion, this is a

57
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 2>moment in the campaign that could be a game changer.

58
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Now I know that there's still a little less than

59
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>seven weeks, seven weeks. I think it's forty eight days,

60
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>not that I'm counting, and Donald Trump could say something

61
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 2>crazy tomorrow. He says something's crazy so far. But I

62
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>think this is a game changer, big time game changer.

63
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 2>So I want to know what you think this could hurt.

64
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. Those are areas with

65
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Teamster's Union members and their families, and

66
00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you know that Teamster families will vote as one. I

67
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>think that's pretty apparent. Okay, that is the history of

68
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the union. So I have one more SoundBite here from

69
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>two weeks ago on Face the Nation, and this is

70
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>cut number thirty. Rob If you play this one O'Brien

71
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>explaining why he spoke at the Iron c Why wouldn't

72
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 2>he speak at the.

73
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 3>Iron c oh I spoke there because it was the

74
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 3>ability to highlight how important we are. It was the

75
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 3>ability to call out the people, the corporate elitist who

76
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 3>forget who built this country, the American workers. You know,

77
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 3>people like to you know, have their own opinions on

78
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 3>why we were there, But I was there to talk

79
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 3>about the American workers.

80
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't an endorsement for any and all Republicans. It

81
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>was strictly a message about how important and how valuable

82
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 1>we are and to let the people know that fight

83
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 1>us every day.

84
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>That went out going away. So that's his explanation clearly.

85
00:05:54.519 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I think Vice President Harris Kamala Harris was with the

86
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 2>executive board of the Teamsters. I believe it was Monday,

87
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I'm sure she was pleading with them

88
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>to do what they have done in the past, and

89
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 2>that is support Democrats. Now, there were at different times

90
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>in the past. I think that Richard Nixon might have

91
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 2>gotten an endorsement in one of his elections. I think

92
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 2>President Reagan might have gotten an endorsement. George Bush forty

93
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>one may have gotten an endorsement. But since two thousand

94
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>it's been Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, no endorsement.

95
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>That's a generation of teams to members who it was

96
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>going to be interesting. I think this is a game changer.

97
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>It's something that the Democrats, I think are going to

98
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>have to work on and I'd love to know what

99
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 2>you think. We'll take a quick break. It is eleven

100
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>fourteen here on night Side. My name is Stan Ray.

101
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.399
<v Speaker 2>As I said, tomorrow night, we'll be talking with Larry

102
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and Scott Rubinstein about your car, your next car, how

103
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>to get rid of your current car, what to do

104
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>about your current car, and how to get ready for

105
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 2>fall and winter driving. All those questions answered tomorrow night,

106
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 2>from tent until midnight. My name is Dan Ray. Let's

107
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 2>keep rolling here all the way to midnight. This is important.

108
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's feel free. The only lines are open right

109
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>now are six one seven, so don't waste your time,

110
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 2>six one thirty. Therefore, we'll be back on Nightside.

111
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:37.040
<v Speaker 4>Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

112
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

113
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 2>We are in the WBC Nightside studios, and let's get

114
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to the phone callers who are not but that's okay.

115
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's get to them right now. We'll see what

116
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 2>people have to say here on Nightside. Let me pull

117
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 2>it up. Let's go right to let me live. I've

118
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>missed up here a little bit. Rob. Let me get

119
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>rid of a couple of these. Here we go, going

120
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.839
<v Speaker 2>to go to John and Newton. First. John, you are

121
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>next up, first up this hour and Nightside. Your thought

122
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 2>about the teamster's decision not to endorse John?

123
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Any damn yeah, my thought about the teamster's not

124
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 5>to endorse. Well, you know, I think that the teams

125
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 5>have sometimes shocked us with these you know, new endorsements

126
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 5>that they don't stand behind, and you know, it's just

127
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 5>it's kind of a shame. Really is a shame that

128
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 5>they're not pulling this out for this guy.

129
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 2>So so who did who did? Did you expect them

130
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>to endorse Harris or Trump?

131
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 5>Well, a lot of people like Trump. You know, I

132
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 5>really can't tell you. It doesn't shock me that they hunt,

133
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, standing by the Democratic Party.

134
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Really. I mean, for the last six presidential elections, going

135
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>all the way back to two thousand, they've endorsed a Democrat,

136
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.559
<v Speaker 2>including twice they endorsed Democrat against Donald Trump. He will

137
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>be Clinton in twenty sixteen and Joe Biden in twenty twenty.

138
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, sometimes I think Trump isn't even really there. He's

139
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 5>he's like a character, you know, he's at least on

140
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 5>my side of everything, you know.

141
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So let me try to figure out where you are.

142
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Are you a Trump supporter or a Harris supporter?

143
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm I'm whoever's going to send me to space supporter,

144
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 5>But you know, I do like I do like Trump

145
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 5>and I actually I do like Carris as well, and

146
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 5>I tell everybody, hey, I think Joe Biden is the

147
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 5>best president right now.

148
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>He is. I will, I will agree Biden president right now.

149
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.080
<v Speaker 2>He's the only president right now ahead.

150
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 5>He's he's the real president. He's actually the real president.

151
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so let me ask you this. Are you undecided

152
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 2>between Trump and Harris? Truly undecided?

153
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 5>Am I undecided? I don't. I don't really know. I

154
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 5>just whatever, I don't know. I have. I have a

155
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.360
<v Speaker 5>few connections to President Trump, so I know, you know,

156
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 5>I know that I know some people to know him,

157
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 5>and uh so I like to make that person happy.

158
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>But well, in the voting both you could vote for

159
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:21.919
<v Speaker 2>whomever you want. No one's going to know who you

160
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 2>vote for. So let me ask you. Did you vote

161
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 2>for Joe Biden in twenty twenty No.

162
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.440
<v Speaker 5>No, I didn't. I missed voting. I just I got

163
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 5>too busy.

164
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that can happen even with the mail in ballots

165
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 2>and early voting. Did you vote for Trump in twenty

166
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 2>sixteen against Hillary Clinton?

167
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.240
<v Speaker 5>I got too busy.

168
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>So you haven't voted? When was the last presidential election

169
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 2>you took? It? Took the time to voted.

170
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 5>I think it was. I can't really twenty twenty sixteen,

171
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 5>twenty twelve, I don't know.

172
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, in twenty twelve it was Mitt Romney and President.

173
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 5>Obama Nam President Obama.

174
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those are the choices. Did you vote for either

175
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 2>one of them?

176
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 5>I voted. I definitely voted for President Obama.

177
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, So are you a Democrat more than

178
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:18.200
<v Speaker 2>a Republican? Don't? I guess I don't. I'm not trying

179
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>to put you on the spot. I just it sounds

180
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to me like you're actually voter.

181
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 5>That I used to know was with President Bush. You know, Okay,

182
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 5>the new the new, the new Republican Party is and

183
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, I really like President Bush. I liked

184
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 5>President Bush. And I really really got to like Rumsfeld

185
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 5>and Shay and those people.

186
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:40.399
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

187
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 5>I like them a lot.

188
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, you were a Republican and you and you have

189
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 2>they have fallen out of You're not a fan of Trump.

190
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I get it. Keep me posted as

191
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 2>to who you're going to vote for it because I think.

192
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 5>You truly I like you know, I like them all.

193
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 5>They're all good. They're all good people.

194
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>They're all good people. Okay, Well, yeah, make sure you vote. Well, yes, sir, okay,

195
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>thanks Johns, a great night. Good night. Let me go

196
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to Bill. Bill. I don't think you're undecided.

197
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 6>No, No, that was a little confused.

198
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 7>And I mean, yeah, you know, logically, even if you

199
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.399
<v Speaker 7>take a step back and you just look at call

200
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.200
<v Speaker 7>them A and call them B and don't look at personalities,

201
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 7>don't look at whatever, just look at basic results, it's

202
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 7>pretty clear if you're going to hire somebody, you know,

203
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.639
<v Speaker 7>who would you hire A or B? And uh, I

204
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 7>think I go back to A because you know, things

205
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 7>were a little lighter, you had a little more exit

206
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 7>in your pocket. And uh, in the world Trump guy.

207
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>So realizing you're a Trump guy, which is fine, what

208
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:47.919
<v Speaker 2>sort of an impact do you think this non endorsement

209
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>by the Teamsters and again putting in his context.

210
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 5>Well.

211
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, I mean they are big, be honest with you.

212
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 7>I didn't think they were going to do with anybody anyhow.

213
00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 7>I read the story. I actually just got back a

214
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 7>few I was out in Michigan for a few days

215
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.720
<v Speaker 7>and ironically, and I was reading catching up while I

216
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 7>was on the plane, and I think the team says

217
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.320
<v Speaker 7>it just kind of going, uh, you know, they're basically

218
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.440
<v Speaker 7>doing all the Union people I've met all the years,

219
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.480
<v Speaker 7>like the UAW. Right, yeah, they endorsed the Democrat, but

220
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.320
<v Speaker 7>that's the leadership. I came back from Michigan. My buddy

221
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 7>lives up in Grand rapt In fact, Vance was there

222
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 7>the day before, up by Spada, which where he lives.

223
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 7>He had they had a rally up there and a

224
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:33.799
<v Speaker 7>lot of Trump signs. And if you talk to most

225
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 7>of the ICE on the Sunday afternoon from the UAW

226
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 7>they're all voting for Trump. So the fact that the

227
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 7>Union sixty percent of them are voting for Trump, and

228
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.720
<v Speaker 7>I know some of the guys in UPS, it doesn't

229
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.360
<v Speaker 7>surprise me the teams because you know UPS drivers that

230
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.639
<v Speaker 7>I talked to the majority of them over the years.

231
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 7>I've talked to very few guys they say. He used

232
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 7>to laugh about it. We'd have coffee and see my union.

233
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 7>I get a list of who to support. They're all Democrats.

234
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 7>By I go in to booth, I vote Republican. They

235
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:02.440
<v Speaker 7>always told me, yes, well.

236
00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 2>But remember this look. And in twenty twenty President Trump

237
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:13.480
<v Speaker 2>lost Michigan, lost Wisconsin, and lost Pennsylvania. So you know,

238
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>after four years, yeah, well those are critical vote.

239
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:23.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but I mean I could go down the list.

240
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:24.919
<v Speaker 7>There was a lot of stuff, but I'm happy to

241
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.559
<v Speaker 7>see they put some of the stuff back. They have

242
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 7>the rarefied signature is now in Pennsylvania that came back.

243
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 2>So I don't want to go back and retigate twenty.

244
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say this. All I'm just saying

245
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 2>is that this is a close race in my opinion,

246
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 2>and this might be a day that we're going to

247
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 2>look back and say the fact that one that a

248
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.919
<v Speaker 2>union representing one point three million members and their families

249
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 2>which mail multiplies that political impact by three or four

250
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>because you're talking about parents and siblings and spouses and

251
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 2>maybe even kids. So you're talking about a lot of

252
00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>people here. And the Teamsters, which generally endorsed as a Democrat,

253
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't endorse Donald Trump, but chose not to endorse Vice

254
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:08.799
<v Speaker 2>President Harris.

255
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 7>That's I'm also surprised that they didn't let O'Brien speak

256
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:17.080
<v Speaker 7>at the convention figuring what the Republicans did, and they

257
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.039
<v Speaker 7>gave him a good amount of time because I watched

258
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:22.039
<v Speaker 7>that speech and I was actually kind of impressed. I

259
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:23.600
<v Speaker 7>thought he got.

260
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>A great amount of time and he was given a

261
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.960
<v Speaker 2>five time slot. He didn't. It was like he spoke

262
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 2>at two in the afternoon when the hall was you know,

263
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 2>one third of the delegates were there and everybody else

264
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:38.639
<v Speaker 2>was still waking up from the night before. So we'll see.

265
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's a big deal. But I'm trying

266
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.639
<v Speaker 2>to figure out, do you think today was a big

267
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>deal or no?

268
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I would say one to ten. It was maybe

269
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 7>maybe a seven. I wouldn't say it a ten, and

270
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 7>we rigged the scale, but I'd say it was a

271
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.480
<v Speaker 7>seven because they went against the grain. That alone, it

272
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 7>is a big deal.

273
00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 5>Got it all.

274
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.559
<v Speaker 2>Right with you? Did you call as always? Let's see

275
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.759
<v Speaker 2>who else. I think it's a bigger deal than a seven,

276
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 2>But maybe I'm overstating it. Let me go to Matt Brighton. Matt,

277
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>you're next ten nights.

278
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 5>I go ahead, Hey, you know, and then.

279
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Great, Matt, your thought on what the teamsays did not

280
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>do today, Well, the leadership of the teams just did

281
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>not do right.

282
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 8>So I'm looking at, you know, the data, and you know,

283
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 8>I like to go by facts, and I see the

284
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.960
<v Speaker 8>last time that they gave any real Republican support was

285
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:40.960
<v Speaker 8>around Reagan and Bush Senior since then. They in nineteen

286
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.159
<v Speaker 8>ninety six they did not back anybody, yep, but they

287
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 8>you know, they backed Obama.

288
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.600
<v Speaker 9>They donated you.

289
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:54.600
<v Speaker 8>Know, haff A Junior and then the current. But Bryant

290
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 8>what's his last name, O'Brien the current.

291
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he's a boss, the guy by the way from Charleston.

292
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, from Medford or something.

293
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah maybe well might maybe live there now, but he

294
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:07.839
<v Speaker 2>grew up I think at Jostown. I hope to have

295
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 2>him on the show. I've got to reaching out to

296
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.119
<v Speaker 2>him actually to be.

297
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 8>Mean, yeah, and that would be great, you know, Okay,

298
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 8>to hear I think I think the ultimate thing is

299
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.599
<v Speaker 8>I think today was important. I don't know how many

300
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:27.400
<v Speaker 8>of the voters across America are going to hear and

301
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.839
<v Speaker 8>notice this for those who are not part of unions

302
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:36.799
<v Speaker 8>that in effects. Someone like myself is not affected directly

303
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 8>by this, but I think it speaks to because they also,

304
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.519
<v Speaker 8>you know, have leadership in Canada. I'm not leadership, but

305
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.640
<v Speaker 8>they also you know, represent unions in Canada, and I

306
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:54.640
<v Speaker 8>think them basically saying being mute on the subject, you know,

307
00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 8>is a mistake. Fifty eight percent wanted Trump, very low

308
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 8>percentage compared to that wanted, Harris, And when you're in

309
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.559
<v Speaker 8>a union or when you're in a large group of people,

310
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.359
<v Speaker 8>all I could say is a majority rule like that

311
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.960
<v Speaker 8>should have some power and decision and not listening to

312
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.319
<v Speaker 8>or for lack of a better term, respecting that on

313
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:19.960
<v Speaker 8>some level.

314
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>And you're telling me you're you're a little disappointed that

315
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:24.759
<v Speaker 2>they didn't endorse Trump.

316
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:31.079
<v Speaker 8>If if Yeah, well I get yes for the people

317
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 8>by the percentage who said of the majority of the

318
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.839
<v Speaker 8>one point three million said we want Trump. Majority rules

319
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.039
<v Speaker 8>in many situations in life, and I think that that's

320
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.200
<v Speaker 8>what should it happen.

321
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, fair enough, Matt, appreciate your call. Thank you,

322
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much, as always, have a great one.

323
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 9>No problem, all right here, Uh, let me.

324
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Go to Frank in Montreal. Frank, welcome to night Side.

325
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 2>How are you tonight?

326
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:03.680
<v Speaker 6>Good Dan, Thanks a lot for taking my call. I've

327
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 6>called once before and it was just interesting to hear

328
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.039
<v Speaker 6>your last caller reference Canada and the unions a very

329
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 6>strong unions are actually almost too strong in Canada. But

330
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 6>my take on the unions, and some people may be

331
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:28.319
<v Speaker 6>a guest at this statement, but they are basically corporate

332
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:34.160
<v Speaker 6>terrorists and you know, you have people who if you

333
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:38.880
<v Speaker 6>think about unions, originally, of course you needed them. People's

334
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:43.440
<v Speaker 6>rights were there were not a lot of job options.

335
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:52.079
<v Speaker 6>People were almost forced to work in certain conditions, and.

336
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Everyone would agree with that. Why do you call them

337
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>corporate terrorists? Though? I mean, do you well you think that?

338
00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask us, do you think people have a

339
00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:59.440
<v Speaker 2>right to join unions?

340
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.839
<v Speaker 5>I hope of course you have the right.

341
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:08.200
<v Speaker 6>There are many options and job opportunities out there. If

342
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.799
<v Speaker 6>you don't like the conditions, if you don't like the job,

343
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 6>get another job. No one's forcing you to work there.

344
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.279
<v Speaker 2>So if if, if you're if you're admitting that unions

345
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 2>have a right, you know, to to exist and to

346
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 2>and people have workers have a right to organize. There

347
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 2>comes a time when the group says, hey, we have

348
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.599
<v Speaker 2>a we need to strike because they're not offering enough money,

349
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:40.200
<v Speaker 2>or there's some problem with working conditions or whatever. They

350
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:42.400
<v Speaker 2>have that right to do that. I don't think you

351
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:46.000
<v Speaker 2>can say to let's say, you know, five thousand people

352
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 2>at a manufacturing plant, go find another job. I mean,

353
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I think there should be a balance. Don't you that

354
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.799
<v Speaker 2>that that that the unions, Yeah, they can strike, but

355
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 2>at the same time. As they strike and they hurt

356
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 2>the company, they're also kind of hurting themselves, and hopefully

357
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.599
<v Speaker 2>at the end everybody comes to a deal where probably

358
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 2>no one is totally happy, but everybody gets a little

359
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.960
<v Speaker 2>bit of what they want and the company continues to

360
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:14.559
<v Speaker 2>produce widgets and make money for the shareholders as well

361
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.599
<v Speaker 2>as the employees. Isn't that ideally what was supposed to

362
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:18.039
<v Speaker 2>have happen?

363
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, but what can you not think that if, for example,

364
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.440
<v Speaker 6>if there was no union, and there are many companies

365
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.319
<v Speaker 6>where there are no unions, correct, and people are maybe

366
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 6>not necessarily happy with conditions. But if people start to

367
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 6>leave and say well, I'm going to go elsewhere, maybe

368
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.200
<v Speaker 6>to the competition, for example, eventually that employer is going

369
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 6>to say, well, I'm better to either raise my wages

370
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:50.240
<v Speaker 6>or my working conditions or improve conditions, and you let

371
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:55.519
<v Speaker 6>a free economy sort of take over, and this way

372
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 6>it's more equitable that way.

373
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, sounds to be like you don't think unions are

374
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:03.359
<v Speaker 2>really a part of a free economy, and that they

375
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.319
<v Speaker 2>tilt the power structure away from the companies.

376
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.759
<v Speaker 6>They do, and in fact, many people you know you're

377
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:17.359
<v Speaker 6>paying union dues, and how many people are actually I

378
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.799
<v Speaker 6>guess you're benefiting from maybe higher wages. But then you know,

379
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.200
<v Speaker 6>if you think about the teachers' union, which is very strong,

380
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.559
<v Speaker 6>I think probably in almost every state, it's certainly in Canada,

381
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 6>it's very strong, and you think of these teachers who

382
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 6>you know, young graduates who and by the way, for

383
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 6>the record, I think teachers are so underpaid or not

384
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 6>appreciated for what they do. But nonetheless it's sort of

385
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 6>established or understood that they're overworked and underpaid. So you

386
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:03.799
<v Speaker 6>have students in new new graduates that become teachers and

387
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.519
<v Speaker 6>then shortly thereafter their striking, and I'm thinking you knew

388
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.440
<v Speaker 6>the deal going into it, so you know, again, if

389
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.839
<v Speaker 6>you don't have enough teacher as well, eventually do you say, well, hell,

390
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 6>we better start paying these people what they deserve for

391
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 6>giving me.

392
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.039
<v Speaker 2>I get that, I get that, But sometimes you have

393
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker 2>what one of my law school professors used to call

394
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:33.759
<v Speaker 2>an irreconcilable conflict, that you've reached a point where both

395
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 2>sides just fundamentally disagree and the only way, the only

396
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 2>thing the union can do if the union believes they're underpaid,

397
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:43.559
<v Speaker 2>you could say to the teachers, oh yeah, go find

398
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.720
<v Speaker 2>a better job somewhere else. But as individuals trying to

399
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 2>go find a better job, they may have a difficult

400
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:53.359
<v Speaker 2>time doing that. And they're in the union because they

401
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:57.480
<v Speaker 2>they believe that in unity, their strength and all of that.

402
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I I I think that, Yeah, I think that the

403
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.519
<v Speaker 2>balance between businesses and corporations are good for both in

404
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.920
<v Speaker 2>my opinion. That's all. I'm a union member. I do

405
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:14.240
<v Speaker 2>not want to see any of my money used for

406
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 2>political purposes. I want to see my money used to

407
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.359
<v Speaker 2>improve the working conditions, the relationships, you know, with the

408
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>financial relationships. But I think you've opened up a big

409
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:28.960
<v Speaker 2>can of worms there that takes me a little bit

410
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 2>away from my topic.

411
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:35.000
<v Speaker 6>I did, Sorry about that, but no problem, no problem, Okay,

412
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 6>thanks for taking the call in the program.

413
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Frankly, what do you do up in What do you

414
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:39.920
<v Speaker 2>do up in Montreal?

415
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 6>If I could ask, I own a company, okay, but

416
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:49.359
<v Speaker 6>we're too small to have you know, I'm self employed.

417
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.839
<v Speaker 2>But you know, how many do you have employees?

418
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:58.839
<v Speaker 6>Yes? A handful, yeah, a handful.

419
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So you're you're providing, you're providing work, and you're

420
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:06.880
<v Speaker 2>you're providing uh, job opportunities for people to feed their families.

421
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Which is wonderful and I wish you every success in

422
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the world. Do you want to tell me, do you

423
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>want to give you a company a plug? Maybe we

424
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 2>have some other listeners in Montreal that that will like to,

425
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, purchase your products or do you do you

426
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:22.599
<v Speaker 2>want to keep it on the d.

427
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 6>Lough No, it's it's actually we're in semiconductors and we are. Yeah,

428
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:36.440
<v Speaker 6>so we're we're the semiconductory manufacturer and we are. I

429
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 6>shouldn't they manufacturer? We wrap them so we're a middle

430
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:44.799
<v Speaker 6>guy and uh, you know what we it's all about relationships.

431
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:47.319
<v Speaker 2>It's all about you've picked the great You've picked a

432
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:50.000
<v Speaker 2>great business there, okay, and you're going to be very it.

433
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.519
<v Speaker 6>Has been well, it's been. It's been. It's been a

434
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:54.519
<v Speaker 6>good run, that's for sure.

435
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 2>The only problem is that you get you get nailed

436
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.480
<v Speaker 2>with tax is not only revenue Canada, but revenue Quebec.

437
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 2>And it's it's a very expensive government that you support

438
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:05.039
<v Speaker 2>up there.

439
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:08.640
<v Speaker 6>Both extremely extremely We.

440
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Could talk about that. I know, I know quite a

441
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.079
<v Speaker 2>bit about the tax rates in Quebec and uh and revenue.

442
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, every dollar over seventy k you're paying fifty two

443
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 6>you're you're giving more to the government than you're taking home.

444
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there was a point. There's a point where you're

445
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:27.160
<v Speaker 2>paying you keep one the revenue Canada gets one and

446
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:28.759
<v Speaker 2>revenue Quebec gets one.

447
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and you have in this province have to file

448
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 6>two income tax returns and uh, we're paying over six

449
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 6>dollars at US gallon fifteen consumption tax. So you buy

450
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 6>a car fifteen points from there. So this is where I'm.

451
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Gonna I'm gonna let you run because if not lose

452
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:50.039
<v Speaker 2>my audience. There.

453
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:51.160
<v Speaker 5>Thank a lot.

454
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Frank, keep calling the show. It's always great to shings.

455
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Things as bad as they are in the US, economically,

456
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>they could be worse. We could be socialist country like Tudeau.

457
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.279
<v Speaker 6>Well that's that's sort of what I sort of argue against.

458
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:09.519
<v Speaker 6>But I'd hate to see you guys go that way.

459
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:12.960
<v Speaker 2>So I hear you know, as would I. Thanks Freg,

460
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:15.119
<v Speaker 2>talk to you soon. We got a couple of lines

461
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 2>six one seven thirty, six one seven, nine ten thirty.

462
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.039
<v Speaker 2>The question back on the table is your reaction to

463
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:28.319
<v Speaker 2>the decision of the Teamsters Union, a very powerful union,

464
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.599
<v Speaker 2>perhaps the biggest union in America. The Teamster's Union decision

465
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 2>not to endorse a presidential candidate. I think it's quite significant.

466
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you agree, maybe you disagree. That's what that's what

467
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:42.559
<v Speaker 2>we're doing here tonight or nights. Come on right back.

468
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:47.960
<v Speaker 3>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on.

469
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:50.839
<v Speaker 5>Boston's news radio.

470
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Marie in Boston. Marie, welcome back.

471
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about the Teamsters decision today, the leadership of

472
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:07.759
<v Speaker 2>the Teamsters to endorse in the presidential election. Are you surprised. Oh,

473
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's put Marie on hold and we'll get back there

474
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 2>in a second. Let me go to Jim. Jim. You

475
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:14.559
<v Speaker 2>were next on Nightsicker right ahead.

476
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Ben, Yes, sir, Jim, welcome, Hey, thank you. Okay. Well,

477
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:27.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm a due paid member and I donated the O'Brien's campaign.

478
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:32.440
<v Speaker 4>I voted for O'Brien, and the things that I think

479
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.400
<v Speaker 4>I want to say, okay, is that I was dismayed

480
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:42.240
<v Speaker 4>when Biden ordered the operating train engineers back to work

481
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:46.640
<v Speaker 4>with very little compensation whatsoever. And I heard an interview

482
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 4>with the president of their union and someone called in

483
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:52.119
<v Speaker 4>and said they didn't think that was going to hurt him,

484
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:54.319
<v Speaker 4>And she said, we'll see whether or not it had

485
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:56.200
<v Speaker 4>hurt him when it comes time for him to get

486
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.160
<v Speaker 4>re elected. And then the other thing is I was,

487
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I was also dismade when Troudeau ordered the operating engineers

488
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:09.319
<v Speaker 4>back to work, and I was. I didn't think about

489
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:11.920
<v Speaker 4>it at the time, but I heard O'Brien say at

490
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:16.839
<v Speaker 4>the at the Republican Convention, we don't take sides. In essence,

491
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.720
<v Speaker 4>that's what he said, But it didn't really. It didn't

492
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:20.559
<v Speaker 4>occur to me at the time that by saying we

493
00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:23.680
<v Speaker 4>don't take sides, he wouldn't be able to endorse either candidate.

494
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:25.960
<v Speaker 4>But that kind of turns out the way that it is.

495
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, it wasn't just O'Brien, You're you're a team ster, I.

496
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:32.119
<v Speaker 4>Guess right, Yeah, I said, I'm a duce paid member.

497
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:33.680
<v Speaker 2>No, that's what I'm saying. I just want to make

498
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to make sure that you could have been

499
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.880
<v Speaker 2>a duce paying member of my union, which is after

500
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:40.400
<v Speaker 2>But no, so you're a team star.

501
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:46.559
<v Speaker 4>I don't And I pledge and I said, you know.

502
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.799
<v Speaker 2>This better than me. Okay, so I'm asking you a question.

503
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 2>You're going to help me out here. My understanding was

504
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:56.079
<v Speaker 2>it was the it wasn't O'Brien's decision. Although he might

505
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.519
<v Speaker 2>be influential, you have like an executive counsel. I have

506
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 2>no idea, dear, how many members voted, but apparently there

507
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.559
<v Speaker 2>was a vote of what they call the executive council,

508
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:13.960
<v Speaker 2>and it was it was those individuals who made the decision. Uh,

509
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:20.599
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily Sean O'Brien. O'Brien might have been influential, but

510
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 2>my understanding is that it was a board, an executive council.

511
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 4>Is that okay, Well that see is very complicated and

512
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that part of it. But if you

513
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:37.400
<v Speaker 4>say so that you know, I'll go. I don't know

514
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:38.359
<v Speaker 4>that part of it.

515
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. What all I was trying to say

516
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>is I don't think it was a standalone decision by

517
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Sean O'Brien the president. That there was more input from

518
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 2>more people. That's all I'm trying to say.

519
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he did say at that Republican convention, in essence,

520
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:04.240
<v Speaker 4>we were not I don't we're affiliated. We're not we

521
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 4>don't take In essence, what he said was we don't

522
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:07.480
<v Speaker 4>take sides.

523
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.839
<v Speaker 2>He was saying that whichever party. Uh. And we played

524
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of his sound earlier. He basically said Unfortunately,

525
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:24.279
<v Speaker 2>neither major candidate, meaning Trump or Harris, was able to

526
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:27.359
<v Speaker 2>make serious commitments to our union to endorse the interest

527
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:33.680
<v Speaker 2>of working people are always put before big business. He

528
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:36.279
<v Speaker 2>said he saw commitments from both Trump and Harris not

529
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:40.599
<v Speaker 2>to interfere in critical union campaigns or court teamster's industries,

530
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and to honor our members right to strike, but were

531
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 2>unable to secure those pledges.

532
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, I don't know what. I didn't hear that

533
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 4>at the convention. I heard at the convention in essence,

534
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.119
<v Speaker 4>we don't we're not taking side. So at the time

535
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 4>it didn't occur to me. I was surprised, because they do.

536
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:03.480
<v Speaker 4>Typical teamsters are very on the Democratic side. But I'd

537
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:07.079
<v Speaker 4>spent years and years since I've heard any Democrat say

538
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:13.200
<v Speaker 4>anything that was favorable to, in my opinion, significantly favorable

539
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:16.000
<v Speaker 4>to labor unions. I mean, the people who do the

540
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.319
<v Speaker 4>work in this country are severely under compensated. They were

541
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:21.400
<v Speaker 4>just falling down on ourselves because we don't have enough

542
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.359
<v Speaker 4>money to pay our bills, and there's no reason for it.

543
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:26.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's this guy, this guy up in the

544
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:29.799
<v Speaker 4>Buffalo yesterday get three hundred and sixty million dollars away

545
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:32.799
<v Speaker 4>to nonprofits. I said to myself, why don't you give

546
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:35.559
<v Speaker 4>that money to people who helped who worked for you

547
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:37.640
<v Speaker 4>and helped you earn the money. Give it back to

548
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.640
<v Speaker 4>the people who de who worked for a living. Why

549
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 4>are you giving it away to nonprofits?

550
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Good question, good question. We'll see if people respond to it. Jim,

551
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:48.279
<v Speaker 2>thank you very much. I did not realize that you

552
00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>were a teamster. And by the way, the majority of

553
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the teamsters there was a poll and the majority wanted

554
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:58.119
<v Speaker 2>to support Donald Trump by almost sixty percent.

555
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 4>So my uncle tired from it up in Illinois. Here

556
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 4>it was Martino distributing for years and years. Yeah, I'm

557
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:07.440
<v Speaker 4>in it.

558
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks you. I appreciate your call. Interesting quick, let me

559
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 2>let me go, let me get Marie back here. I

560
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:18.359
<v Speaker 2>guess Marie was there when you picked up, right Rob. Okay, Marie,

561
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 2>we missed you before. Go right ahead.

562
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 10>Yes, TI, thank you for taking my call. It was

563
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.400
<v Speaker 10>my point is I am not surprised at all. I'm

564
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:33.039
<v Speaker 10>actually surprised that he didn't endorse Trump, even though he

565
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:37.119
<v Speaker 10>said that he was not taking side. Now he's been speaking,

566
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 10>he's been speaking from both sides of his mouth. Because

567
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:45.640
<v Speaker 10>I was very surprised that he went to the Republican

568
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:50.799
<v Speaker 10>convention because Republican surrogains union. If it wasn't for Democrats,

569
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:54.279
<v Speaker 10>that wouldn't be any union, and and and and and

570
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:59.680
<v Speaker 10>a Republicans not not not well, Republicans will stand take

571
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 10>it in like like President Bidenville or did or come

572
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:11.360
<v Speaker 10>Famala Harris. So to me, the this this seems their union.

573
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:15.440
<v Speaker 10>They've ripen from the benefits that the Democrats are fighting

574
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 10>for them and then they voting for for for Trump.

575
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.159
<v Speaker 10>What has Trump done for unions? They against union?

576
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, the only thing, the only thing that I would say,

577
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 2>and again I'm not trying to take sides here, but

578
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the Republicans invited O'Brien to address their convention, and O'Brien

579
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 2>took the opportunity on behalf of teams just to speak

580
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:43.119
<v Speaker 2>to the Republicans the Democrats. He requested an invitation to

581
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.480
<v Speaker 2>speak to the Democrats, and the Democrats refused to allow

582
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:49.719
<v Speaker 2>him to speak. Didn't give them an invitation to speak.

583
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:54.679
<v Speaker 10>I understand that, but because probably because Democrats were so

584
00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 10>they were hurts that he went in spoke, you know,

585
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:02.679
<v Speaker 10>to lever talk. Look at when Republicans are against unions,

586
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:07.159
<v Speaker 10>it's sort of like senior citizens votings for Republicans when

587
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.039
<v Speaker 10>they trying to take their solid security. So there are

588
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:11.840
<v Speaker 10>a lot of people that work well.

589
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 2>We're always like, oh the Marie who is trying to

590
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:20.840
<v Speaker 2>take that? That's just not true. There's no Republican that

591
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I know of who wants to take social security away

592
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:28.840
<v Speaker 2>from people who have SOBI security. The Republicans are saying,

593
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I will grant you this, that maybe the retirement age

594
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:37.360
<v Speaker 2>should be increased from sixty five to sixty six or

595
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:41.360
<v Speaker 2>sixty seven because people are living longer, But that's very

596
00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:45.159
<v Speaker 2>different from saying we're going to take back SOI security

597
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 2>benefits that people have earned. Don't mistake that. Don't mistate that.

598
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:56.280
<v Speaker 10>Well, it's not mistaken because if they have their chances

599
00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:59.760
<v Speaker 10>as they speak and say that those are entitlement, they

600
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:04.760
<v Speaker 10>didn't want people to get some security.

601
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:09.840
<v Speaker 2>An entitlements, right, those are entitlements. They the wealthy.

602
00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:12.159
<v Speaker 10>Insurance.

603
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I pay for it, Yes you did, and I did

604
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.440
<v Speaker 2>as well. And I wouldn't vote for anybody who's gonna

605
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:20.920
<v Speaker 2>take my so security away. And and there's no Republican

606
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.800
<v Speaker 2>that I know of. Maybe there's a couple of Google birds,

607
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:26.199
<v Speaker 2>but no one is going to run for public office

608
00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 2>and say, oh yeah, when I get elected, I'm gonna

609
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:31.159
<v Speaker 2>take people so security away. That's crazy. Hey, Mary, I

610
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:33.840
<v Speaker 2>gotta I hate to do this. Yeah, I took you

611
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:35.639
<v Speaker 2>back here, but I'm running out of time. I got

612
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:37.400
<v Speaker 2>a commercial break and I got to get to a

613
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.400
<v Speaker 2>couple of other callers. Thanks for calling, Please continue to

614
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.840
<v Speaker 2>call my program. I enjoyed our conversation.

615
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:45.559
<v Speaker 9>All right, bye bye bye.

616
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Coming back on Nightside right after this break.

617
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

618
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:53.400
<v Speaker 3>night Side Studios.

619
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:55.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm DOMBS News Radio.

620
00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's keep rolling. You're gonna go to Anthony

621
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>in Midford. Did the un next a Nightsider? Right ahead?

622
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 9>Are you doing, Dan, I'm doing great.

623
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:06.960
<v Speaker 2>You're surprised by the decision of the team's just not

624
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.039
<v Speaker 2>to endorse a presidential candidate.

625
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:12.800
<v Speaker 9>I'm not surprised. She's gonna tell you why everybody should

626
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 9>have a union to back them in a work industry,

627
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:19.840
<v Speaker 9>and like, look at charn O'Brien. You know the teams

628
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.159
<v Speaker 9>he's did with the ups the workers are getting abused.

629
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.840
<v Speaker 9>But going back, I think out loud. I mean, I

630
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 9>grew up as a Democrat, and uh now I'm just

631
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:36.519
<v Speaker 9>still independent because the money that's costing gas, the fuels

632
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 9>and the groceries. Tamala Harrison is a're gonna fix it,

633
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:40.880
<v Speaker 9>and you know, when I get she's doing there for

634
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:43.480
<v Speaker 9>three and a half years, I'm pro unions.

635
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:47.559
<v Speaker 2>She said she's gonna stop price gauging. I think she

636
00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:49.119
<v Speaker 2>mat part price gouging.

637
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.760
<v Speaker 9>Even I'm not a union member, but everybody should have

638
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:55.920
<v Speaker 9>a union. There's some companies out there that pay better

639
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:58.960
<v Speaker 9>than unions. Fix it one set happening of the of

640
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:02.079
<v Speaker 9>the other. But I think it's just, you know, I'm

641
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 9>glad they did that because you know, the Democrats think

642
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:06.840
<v Speaker 9>it get you know, why would you going to want

643
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.119
<v Speaker 9>to be a union guy making great money and spend

644
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:12.199
<v Speaker 9>half your pay on double the groceries, double the gas.

645
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:14.559
<v Speaker 9>It's just, you know, I think everybody should look at

646
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.840
<v Speaker 9>the look around and say, Okay, when Trump was in office,

647
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 9>everything was down. There's no laws. They weren't shipping money

648
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:25.599
<v Speaker 9>to Ukraine. It's just they're taking the union guy's taxes

649
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:28.559
<v Speaker 9>and shipped to Ukraine. You know, Trump kept it here.

650
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:30.800
<v Speaker 9>I don't know one Republican. I have a lot of

651
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:35.880
<v Speaker 9>Republican friends that own big companies. The union they love it, buddy,

652
00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 9>might have all.

653
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Right, I got you in. I got you in there

654
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Anthony's strong point of view. Let's see, I got one

655
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:43.400
<v Speaker 2>more caller. I got to get the Terry.

656
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:44.840
<v Speaker 9>Down in the case and have a great night. You

657
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:46.960
<v Speaker 9>have a great shape, great show, buddy.

658
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Anthony, appreciate your call.

659
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:49.280
<v Speaker 9>Terry.

660
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet you're going to come at me with a

661
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:53.679
<v Speaker 2>different point of view. I know you're pretty well, Terry.

662
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.800
<v Speaker 2>You go right ahead, Jan How are you Dan?

663
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:01.880
<v Speaker 11>I am a very proud union nurse. I am under

664
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:06.760
<v Speaker 11>the umbrella of the Massachusetts Nurses Association, and I love

665
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 11>what they do. However, I don't always agree with who

666
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:15.920
<v Speaker 11>they endorse all the time. And it is okay that

667
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:20.280
<v Speaker 11>the team stirs have made an error in judgment. It

668
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:25.880
<v Speaker 11>is okay they're human. But I'll tell you truthfully, I'll

669
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:33.239
<v Speaker 11>go with the tailor swift effect. Massive amounts of votal

670
00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:40.280
<v Speaker 11>registration's happened within twenty four hours after her announcement. That

671
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:42.159
<v Speaker 11>speaks volumes to me.

672
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:46.880
<v Speaker 2>All Right, well I don't We'll see how you're not

673
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>worried about.

674
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:50.199
<v Speaker 6>Now.

675
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:53.360
<v Speaker 2>You're convinced that is going to prevail after all?

676
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:57.599
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I do, but i'd like to say one quick

677
00:39:57.679 --> 00:39:59.199
<v Speaker 11>thing about.

678
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:01.360

682
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:15.039
<v Speaker 11>powers to call for the immediate suspension. But whoever that

683
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:18.639
<v Speaker 11>person was in the ring, whoever made the assignments.
