WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:01.560 It's nice Eye. 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:05.960 Boston's News Radio. 3 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.960 Well, I really enjoyed the last hour with author Lou Ferrante. Again. 4 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:17.480 His trilogy of books have been released. And the first 5 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.280 book that came out came out earlier this year and 6 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.559 it's called The series is called Borgota b O R 7 00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:30.359 G A T A UH. And the first one came 8 00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.960 out early this year. It is called Rise of Empire. 9 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.560 The second one, which will come out later this year 10 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:40.320 or January. The latest is called Clash of Titans. And 11 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.960 there will be a third book as well. But if 12 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:48.640 you're a if you like organized crime, these are the 13 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.640 books for you, particularly if you're looking for something for 14 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:54.679 your library. This is this is something that's going to 15 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:59.479 be historical as well as entertaining, which is kind of 16 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.119 tough sometimes. Okay, Now, I wasn't sure we're going to 17 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.239 do in the third hour tonight, the fourth hour, i 18 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.480 should say, and I have just decided disappearing. Just going 19 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:16.799 through some recent headlines. To the surprise of some, including me, 20 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.120 Former President Donald Trump has saying tonight that there will 21 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.159 not be another debate against this Democratic rival. Vice President 22 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:35.120 Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris Harris has called again for another debate. 23 00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.879 As a matter of fact, she called for debate very quickly, 24 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.920 or her campaign called for a debate very quickly after 25 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.840 their first debate ended. Trumps former President Trump says claims 26 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.519 he won the first debate with Harris. I disagree with that. 27 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.000 I think that she won that debate very clearly. He 28 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.799 is saying there will be no third debate. He of 29 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.879 course counts the debate with Joe Biden back in June, 30 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.519 and so that would be his third debate. I get that, 31 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.760 I understand that. But he said there will not be 32 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:10.199 another debate against his Democratic rival, Vice President Harris. He 33 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.560 posted in truth Social he claimed he won the first debate, 34 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.599 and he cited as evidence the fact that Harris's campaign 35 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.680 had challenged him to another debate, basically saying that why 36 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:28.240 would he want to rematch. I gotta tell you, I 37 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.240 have no idea what the polls are going to say 38 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.680 Monday or Tuesday or Sunday. The posters, all of them, 39 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.560 you know, the posters who we rely upon. Dave Paleologus, 40 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:47.319 Spencer Kimball from Emerson, Dave from Suffolk. John John Zogby 41 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.280 posted John Zogby there, I'm sure all in the field 42 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.199 So I'm going to throw this question out to you, folks. 43 00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.400 Are you surprised that President Trump, who I think now 44 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:07.879 needs a rematch, has decided not to participate. Now, I 45 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.719 guess he has on occasion changed his mind, So this 46 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.319 might not be his final answer, but he's he's putting 47 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.319 it up as his final answer tonight and saying there 48 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:30.360 will be no third debate with Kamala Harris. I it 49 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.800 mystifies me. So I'm going to open up the phone 50 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.360 lines six one seven, two thirty six one seven, nine 51 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.639 three one ten thirty. If you were Donald Trump's advisor 52 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:47.240 and and if Donald Trump would listen to your advice, 53 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.000 which is a big if. What advice would you give 54 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.280 the former president? Did he lose so badly that he 55 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.159 doesn't want to get back on stage with the vice president? 56 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.599 Or does he really in his own mind think he 57 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.319 won that debate thinks he won that debate. So I'm 58 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:06.719 going to open up these phone lines. It's going to 59 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.879 start off with my friend Gary and Wooburn. Gary, thanks 60 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.000 for checking in first, so you get to go go first, 61 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.280 Go right ahead, Gary, What do you think the president's 62 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.120 wise decision would be? Is he doing the right thing here? 63 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.319 In your opinion. I assume I'm making an assumption, although 64 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.720 I'm not quite convinced of it, that he hopes to 65 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:23.720 still win this race. 66 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.959 He has nothing to prove, make her and the Democrats suffer. 67 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.399 They're the ones that to call for another debate. Donald 68 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.759 Trump can call debates all day long because he loves 69 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.399 to be in the sunshine with all the reporters. He 70 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.959 loves to be in the limelight. But it sounds like 71 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.800 they want the debate more than he does because they 72 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.240 need to prove more. Because let's face it, what's the 73 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.600 one thing that Tamala Horris should be doing a set 74 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.000 an attacking the Trump saying oh, well, you're a fella now. 75 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.199 She should be saying what they want to do for 76 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.519 the country and so forth, instead of attacking him and 77 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.160 all the bad parts of his attitude and so forth. 78 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.519 Agree, No, I disagree. I think that that debate hurt 79 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:11.199 him on Tuesday night. I believe that when the polls 80 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.639 sort of settle out, let's see where the polls are 81 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.360 next Monday or Sunday again, that they're in the field now. 82 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:31.000 They were neck and neck before Tuesday night. If Kamala Harris, 83 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.160 the vice president does not get a three or four 84 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:38.639 or five percentage point bump, I'll be very surprised. I mean, 85 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.519 I think that she that she wanted. Who do you 86 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.199 think won the debate on Tuesday night? Do you think 87 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.079 Trump won the debate? 88 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:52.439 Well, I actually didn't see the debate myself, So. 89 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.319 You are one of the most honest callers I have, 90 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.879 so thank you very much. I think if you go 91 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.600 back and watch it, he was frustrated, he was angry, 92 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.360 he was undisciplined. She was the happy warrior she now, 93 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.319 she ducked a lot of questions. And I think that 94 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.759 the moderators fact checked him five times. I think that's 95 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.560 the consensus, and they never fact checked her. And I 96 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.240 know he can complain about that. But if he didn't 97 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.240 make statements that that you could fact check right away. 98 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.319 I mean, if if he made a statement said, look, 99 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.040 the gross national product of Bulgaria is only seven you know, 100 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.600 you know, two trillion dollars, or they can't fact check that. 101 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:36.560 But when he says there there are some states where 102 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.560 you can kill babies that have been that have already 103 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.879 been born, that's not true. In fantaside is illegal in 104 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.040 every state in the United States of America. Why why 105 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.000 do you go why does he go that extreme and 106 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.399 say something that that is so outlandish in my opinion? 107 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.079 You know, yeah, definitely going over my head right now. 108 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.759 So I'm gonna end this phone call, but I'll say 109 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.560 it like this. You're making great points, and you probably 110 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.000 know more than I do now, but I'm going to 111 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.720 give you a little analogy. Okay. I saw a lady 112 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.639 friend of mine fifty years old. She just lost a 113 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.120 job and uh for personal reasons, because she's got our 114 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.839 personal problems with her family. And I looked at her, 115 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.000 I said, well, you better hope it becomes to a 116 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.160 Republican president because she's about to go on welfare and 117 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.120 some food stamps. Because let's face the facts. You know 118 00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.800 this as well as I do. And if we keep 119 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.279 on doing what we're doing right now with bringing him 120 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.720 more people into the United States, how is it going 121 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.839 to look in the next two to four years? 122 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.680 Dan Ray, I think the point I think if he 123 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.319 emphasized those points in the debate, if you were his 124 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.439 debate advisor and he would listen to you, and he 125 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:46.759 emphasized those issues as opposed to debating whether or not 126 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.720 he has big crowd, small crowds or whether the crowd 127 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.959 stayed for the entirety of I mean, she she just 128 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.120 she gave him a tickle. She he just responded. He 129 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.959 just couldn't. He had he took debate every time Gary. 130 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:07.079 She looked, he did. He did. But then again, she shouldn't. 131 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.560 It shouldn't be like that. She should be coming up 132 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.560 strong by saying what she wants to do for the country. 133 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:13.720 Was she doing that at all? 134 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:21.040 Well, yes, she certainly did, in broad philosophical terms, talk 135 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.079 about how she was going to do this and she 136 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.040 was going to build the middle class up, just like 137 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.959 President Biden is. But she did more than enough of that. 138 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.480 Uh you, I would like to have seen more specificity. 139 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.120 He should have continued to ask her, why have you 140 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.960 changed all your positions? He had a wealth of opportunities 141 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:40.720 that he frittered away, in my opinion. 142 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.879 In my opinion, okay, you many great point. And last thing, 143 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.799 if I may say, is this, Dan Ray, I'm hanging 144 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.840 up with you. Who do you want as the next president. 145 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.240 I don't want to hear about third or fourth people. 146 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.559 I want to hear it between Paris or Trump. Who 147 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.159 is going to do better for the country. Thank you? 148 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.279 Good time will leave that. 149 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.720 Question hanging in the air. Everybody should answer that for themselves. 150 00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.639 Thank you for the call. Gary six one seven, two, 151 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.279 five four ten thirty six one seven nine three one 152 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.039 ten thirty. Your reaction to President former President Trump's decision 153 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.840 tonight not to participate in a second debate with Vice 154 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:21.600 President Harris. I think it is a huge mistake. Now, 155 00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:26.600 maybe he feels that he cannot deal in a in 156 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.320 a in an extended format with the vice president, and 157 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.000 maybe he feels that he has to cut his losses. 158 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.159 I guess that's one way to look at it. I'd 159 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.759 love to know what you think. We're coming back on 160 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.440 night Side all the way into midnight. We were thinking 161 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.639 about doing open lines, but this is too good a story, 162 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.080 uh to. I can't ignore this story. I think it's 163 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:49.759 a huge mistake on his part. I don't understand the strategy. 164 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.600 Maybe you can can, Maybe you can persuade me or 165 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.840 show me what his strategy is. Gary tried. Feel free 166 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:56.480 coming back on. 167 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.919 Nightside now back to Dan ray Line from the World 168 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.159 the World night Side Studios on w b Z the 169 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:03.799 news Radio. 170 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.399 It's good right back. The phones will take him as 171 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.720 they come. Let me go next to Bill and Lexington. Bill, 172 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:10.799 you were next on Nightside. 173 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.519 Welcome, Hey, Davi. How are you doing. 174 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.799 I'm doing fine. Bill, I hope you're doing as well. 175 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.360 What do you make of Donald Trump's announcement tonight that 176 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.120 no mass. 177 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:28.360 Mixed messages, Dan, I don't know how fear of sick 178 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.960 he gets. I'd be a little skeptical about what I 179 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:38.320 said if those the people almost killed me. I don't know. 180 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:43.639 It's a tumultuous time in politics right now. It's not 181 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:50.519 what I was used to growing up. And I think 182 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.200 if Donald Trump was going to go out and say 183 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.159 what he needed to say, people would hate him for it. 184 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.320 But they didn't. They didn't hate him. After the debate 185 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.840 that he had with Joe Biden, Bill, he was he 186 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.799 was calm, cool and collected, and I just. 187 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.639 I think there were too many unanswered questions on her pot. 188 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.919 Right then. I think you might be right, there were 189 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.279 a lot of questions that you avoided. You're correct on that. 190 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.519 But the point that yeah, I mean, the point that 191 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:27.519 I'm trying to make is that he frittered away all 192 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.240 the opportunities that he had to point that out. I mean, he. 193 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:38.799 Understandable, and I don't know was he shaken. I don't know, 194 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:39.639 I know, I don't know. 195 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.919 I mean we talked about, you know, immigrants eating dogs 196 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.399 in Ohio. 197 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.320 And yeah, and so from from what I've read a 198 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.759 little bit and had some discussions with friends and whatnot, 199 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.000 it's not necessarily pets in those areas. But there are 200 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:59.559 immigrants in those areas going to duck ponds and killing 201 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.720 ducks at the point of leaving them take them home 202 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.960 or wherever. And I don't believe they have homes. 203 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:10.200 But well, here's the thing. I know nothing about Springfield, Ohio. 204 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.679 I know that there is stuff on the internet, and 205 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:18.080 I know that I think it was I believe it 206 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.000 was Fox Today who had a reporter in Springfield, Ohio. 207 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.600 And apparently there's been a lot of Haitian immigrants who 208 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.200 have settled in Springfield, Ohio, and it's caused you know, 209 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:31.120 problems or unless you would expect, and some people are 210 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.480 very unhappy as you might expect. But to take it 211 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.159 from you, just tell us what's going on. I mean, 212 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.120 why do you have to sort of talk about people's dogs. 213 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:47.440 I just thought it was insanetand. 214 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:52.120 I like his policies, but sometimes when he says is 215 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.200 just so off the wall. I agree the build. 216 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.399 You like his policies, You're probably going to vote for 217 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:02.799 because of his policies that people who were in the 218 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:07.039 middle who might say, Okay, things were better when he 219 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:08.120 was president things. 220 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.039 Yeah, I mean in twenty twenty, the interest rate was 221 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.360 two point seventy five. A gallon gas average was a 222 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.879 dollar eighty nine. No, those those they can't explain why. 223 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.080 That's why those have come up so high. Now. It's 224 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.639 manipulation in the mid If he. 225 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.799 Had made the points, you just were a family show. 226 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:33.519 Nonetheless, I apologize. I'm so sorry. That's That's what I'm 227 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.279 tsk to be with him, is that that he has 228 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:42.039 the points to speak on, but doesn't speak on them enough. 229 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.600 Like, let me ask you, do you think that down deep? 230 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:50.519 Do you think that down deep deep in his psyche? 231 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.600 Maybe he doesn't want to win the race. 232 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.519 They very well could be. He's an old man at 233 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.320 this point and a very well one could be. 234 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.320 I don't know to see what other people have to say. Hey, Bill, 235 00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.639 I appreciate him, yep. 236 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.159 Is he scared? I mean he almost got killed. Is 237 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:13.960 he scared? Now? 238 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.159 I guess I don't I don't know, I don't know. 239 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.440 He didn't look like a candidate who was who was 240 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:25.039 anxious to win. On Tuesday nine, he looked he just 241 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.440 sort of morphed. It was just as Joe Biden was 242 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.000 different from the State of the Union to the debate. 243 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.759 He looked like a totally different person. This was he 244 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:40.159 carried himself with some style and some class in dignity. 245 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.799 I mean, the best line he had was on Joe Biden. 246 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.200 He said, Well, I don't know what he just said, 247 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:47.799 and I don't think he knows it either. And I 248 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.639 think that he encapsulated Biden's performance perfectly. 249 00:14:52.919 --> 00:15:02.919 But you know, it's you're right. He was, uh, who 250 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.279 you was a year ago or two years ago? Whatnot? 251 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:12.559 And it's a very very manto his face. And I 252 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:18.559 just think that we need to look what's better for us. 253 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:21.120 If you're still with it, I get it. I get 254 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:22.360 it pretty much. Bill. 255 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.240 I appreciate your time. Damn, have a good night. 256 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.519 You'll talk to you soon. Hey, let me go to 257 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.000 Patrick in Chiles down. Patrick, welcome, How are you, hey? 258 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:31.240 Dan? 259 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.320 We'll up. How you doing. 260 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.759 I'm doing fine. What's what's your take on all of this? Patrick? 261 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.120 I'm sure you followed it. 262 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.840 Yeah, a little bit I want to speaking. 263 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.320 Phone because if you could get off the speaker call, 264 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.440 it would be a lot better. 265 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.360 I apologizing for that. 266 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:46.840 Sorry, no, no, no problem. I just want I want 267 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.559 my audience to hear what you have to say. So 268 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.120 go right ahead. 269 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:51.320 I know I said. When I'm waiting, sometimes I put 270 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:52.279 it on speaker phone. 271 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.039 Dan. 272 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.240 The one problem that I have with you We're gotten 273 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:58.559 Trump is that twenty sixteen I listened to here. 274 00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.200 All the time. 275 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.159 Man, you will beat the drum for his policies on 276 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.799 stopping immigration at that time, right now, all these years later, Dan, 277 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.879 you point out his character flaws. We all know his 278 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.480 character flaws. It's not news. 279 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:13.399 Well. 280 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:17.600 We we are an emergency life and death situation for 281 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:20.679 our country from a policy perspective, and he's the only 282 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.919 one who's gonna do anything about it. Dan. Sometimes it 283 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.000 feels like to me, you would prefer a batman villain 284 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.639 who had who's going to offer you a martini on 285 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.720 the rocks, and is polite and well dressed and well smoked, spoken, fresh, 286 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.080 freshly shaven as he takes the country away from you. 287 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:38.360 That guy's flawed. 288 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.120 So am I? 289 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.679 So are you dead? No offense, We're all okay. 290 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.120 No problem. Let me let me, let me try, and 291 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.840 I might not be successful. Let me try to explain 292 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:54.879 to you what I believe when I am here. First 293 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:56.840 of all, if you listen to my show, and I 294 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.559 know you do, you know that I am very much 295 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.680 opposed to illegal immigration. There's no question about my position 296 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.960 on that. You and I agree on that, and I've 297 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.279 done shows on that, and many of my more liberal 298 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.720 friends criticize me for that. I want to see more 299 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.400 legal immigration in this country, and we've been through this Patrick, 300 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.480 But for those who haven't heard us talk about this before, 301 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.359 I want more legal immigration. I want to know what 302 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.319 people are going to do when they come here. I've 303 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:33.359 said it a million times. We need new people coming here, 304 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.000 but they have to come here legally. So on that issue, 305 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:40.319 I support him and he's done great work on it. 306 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.400 As a matter of fact, Kamala Harris now is saying 307 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.319 some of her ads, she's using pictures of the Trump Wall. 308 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.559 So you're right, You're right on all of that on 309 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.039 some issues. But when you look, in order for him 310 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:58.400 to win election, he has to get two hundred and 311 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.000 seventy electoral votes. Do you think he helped himself on 312 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:02.200 Tuesday Night towards that. 313 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.359 Goal, and the answer is no. But I have a 314 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:09.720 different diagnosed it differently than you. Go ahead, and so 315 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.720 my diagnosis is that this has been a problem for 316 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:17.200 the Republican National Committee for decades and that they consent 317 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.440 to go into It's like the Red Sox going into 318 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:23.200 Yankee Stadium for Game seven in two thousand and fourth. 319 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:27.480 The deck is stacked against him every single time he 320 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.000 steps into a debate stage held by one of the 321 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:34.960 major mainstream liberal networks. Why would you ever, as the 322 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:40.400 Republican National Committee or presidential campaign, ever agree to debate 323 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.960 in one of these forms? They fact checked him thirty 324 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.920 one times, fact check Harris one time. Even Jake Tapper 325 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:54.039 from CNN, no conservative, has been ripping ABC for their 326 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.440 unfairness all day long New York's Times Today. 327 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:05.200 I was Tapper and Dana Bash in June fear to 328 00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:08.720 President Trump during the debate with President Biden, former President. 329 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.559 I thought that they were more fair, more fair than 330 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:16.480 any recent history, including Chris Wallace, who's a Rhino, a 331 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.759 Republican in name only, more fair than Chris Wallace was 332 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.079 in twenty twenty, for sure, But I don't think this 333 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.559 one was fair, And I would ask your audience, for 334 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.440 your entire audience, all intelligent people. Was Trump treated fairly 335 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.279 in that debate? And then number two, if he wasn't, 336 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.960 why should he ever allow them to do that to him? 337 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:36.480 Ever? 338 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.680 Again, you should never consent to a debate under these circumstances. 339 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.440 And it's been a problem for years. A New York 340 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.920 Times article today, here's the title of it. Pundits said, 341 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.200 I don't know if you're a pundit, Dan. I think 342 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.240 you're a little smarter than a pundit, pundit said Harris, 343 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:54.880 and you're a little more honest. Pundit said Harris won 344 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.359 the debate. Undecided voters weren't so sure. That is on 345 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:04.240 the New York Times. I saw that article right now. 346 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.960 So what's going on is typical of the lamestream media 347 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:10.480 is that they get their candidate out there, they throw 348 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.279 softball questions, they don't cross examine them when they go 349 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.640 off at a tangent like Tamala Harris did about the 350 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.759 state of the economy, and then they have their army 351 00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:24.960 of so called journalists published papers that say that their 352 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.680 candidate won and that Trump lost, and they point out 353 00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:34.119 Donald Trump's character peculiarities, for the ten thousand times. Don't 354 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.440 you get it? People on the left, we know his flaws, 355 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.279 we know that we want his policies. Don't you get that? 356 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.680 You're not going to win another voter by pointing out 357 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:49.200 Donald Trump's flaws because yes, well worse than us. 358 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.880 Patrick. I think that has been an effective strategy. I 359 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.000 can tell you this, okay, that that I don't think 360 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:01.440 that that Donald Trump's performance and Tuesday Night won him 361 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:05.160 any voters. I don't know, maybe someone, Maybe we could 362 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:07.680 find someone, but I can tell you there's a lot 363 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.319 of voters who probably looked at that on on Tuesday 364 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.559 Night and said this guy is so. 365 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.000 I have one question, point, Dan, if you were in 366 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.559 charge of the publican National Committee, are you a choice 367 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.279 over presidential Trump's campaign to consent to another debate?
