Speaker 1: It's Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you Fay Boston.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are underway in Chicago, and we have a
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. And of course the Republicans had
Speaker 1: their convention earlier this well, actually in late late July,
Speaker 1: now that I think about it, Yeah, they were done
Speaker 1: in July. And the Democrats are just on day one
Speaker 1: right now. Hillary Clinton, a beloved.
Speaker 3: Figure within the Democratic Party, is is addressing the convention.
Speaker 3: So it's it's sort of ghosts of Democrat past and
Speaker 3: the Democrat that everyone wants to hear from. I won't speak,
Speaker 3: as I understanding, until Thursday night, although tonight President Biden
Speaker 3: will deliver his swan song. Interesting article by Maureen Daud
Speaker 3: in The.
Speaker 1: New York Times late last week, actually on Saturday. She
Speaker 1: starts off, we head to Chicago in a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation,
Speaker 1: excitement and even you might say ecstasy. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a glorious coronation, except that everyone's mad at one another.
Speaker 1: She goes on to to talk about how Joe Biden
Speaker 1: was done in and how that he's not happy. And
Speaker 1: again this is I woring down no fan of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: She she quotes Trump in the article and talks about uh,
Speaker 1: Well Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama. This is where
Speaker 1: it gets kind of interesting. He says, the president already
Speaker 1: resented meaning the president meaning President Biden already resented Obama
Speaker 1: for shoving him aside for Hillary, and he even resented
Speaker 1: Hillary for squandering that opportunity and losing to trum And
Speaker 1: even this is Mareen Daoud, not me. Even though Obama
Speaker 1: tried to do everything quietly to protect his saintly status,
Speaker 1: Joe was furious that Obama was sidelining him twice Michelle's
Speaker 1: Obama's relationship with Biden soward when his family ostracized Hunter's
Speaker 1: first wife, Michelle's friend Kathleen. That's one reason the popular
Speaker 1: Michelle wasn't on the campaign trail for Biden. It gets
Speaker 1: into really deep stuff in the family here. Kamala can't
Speaker 1: be thrilled with Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer that Obama, Pelosi,
Speaker 1: and Schuma hesitated to endorse her because they wanted more
Speaker 1: moderate rivals to compete in an open mini primary. And
Speaker 1: Biden and Harris staffs are also TETCHI. I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what she means by that word, as Kamala's lawyers
Speaker 1: layers on her own people. It's pretty Shakespearean. Biden still
Speaker 1: thinks he could have taken Trump, so how could he
Speaker 1: reconcile being shoved off the sled. On Wednesday, Ron Klain,
Speaker 1: Biden's longtime adviser, expressed to Inoson Cooper biden World's feelings
Speaker 1: about the Jacquarie heard round the world. I think it
Speaker 1: was unfortunate because I think the president had won the
Speaker 1: nomination fair and square. Fourteen million people had voted for
Speaker 1: him and the vice president as vice president. He added,
Speaker 1: I do think you know the president was pushed by
Speaker 1: public calls from elected officials for him to drop out,
Speaker 1: from donus calling for him to drop out, and I
Speaker 1: think that was wrong. Those who pushed out Biden should
Speaker 1: be proud they saved him and their party from a
Speaker 1: likely crushing defeat, letting Trump snake back in and soil
Speaker 1: democracy that would keep Biden off Rushmore. It's the headline
Speaker 1: is the Dems are delighted, but a coup is still
Speaker 1: a coup. So the Democrats gather in Chicago. The Harris
Speaker 1: campaign has slowly maturely emerging, and over the weekend. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Michelle Obama made some comments that Drew I
Speaker 1: thought some interesting raised eyebrows. This is the vice president
Speaker 1: talking about her economic plan. She miss reads or misspeaks
Speaker 1: the word gouging. She calls it gauging. So don't be upset.
Speaker 1: Don't be confused by that, Rob. This is cut one.
Speaker 1: This is the vice president over the weekend, talking in
Speaker 1: part about her economic plan. Here we go, Cut one.
Speaker 4: I will work to pass the first ever federal ban
Speaker 4: on price gauging on food. My plan will include new
Speaker 4: penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules.
Speaker 1: That's a little vague. I would think a democratic commentator
Speaker 1: had his comment on that. And this is Chris Cuomo
Speaker 1: talking about the vice president's price gouging policy. This is
Speaker 1: cut number twenty.
Speaker 5: Please Rob, all right, So price gauging versus gouging.
Speaker 6: She made a mistake.
Speaker 1: We noted it.
Speaker 5: Second, going after corporations is popular. Doing it about inflation
Speaker 5: is popular. Sixty percent of us believe corporations are to
Speaker 5: blame for it. The question is what do you do
Speaker 5: right blame versus change. So Harris says she's targeting price gouging.
Speaker 5: I don't really care about gouging, gauging, I don't care,
Speaker 5: all right. You got to take the level of talent
Speaker 5: where you find it. We don't have great talent in
Speaker 5: our politics right now. We got to wait for better
Speaker 5: people to want to get involved in what is such
Speaker 5: a poison process.
Speaker 1: But this is what we got. No what you call
Speaker 1: an endorsement, per se. Look, the Vice president was running
Speaker 1: for president in twenty nineteen and she was in Iowa
Speaker 1: talking about this is extraordinary, talking about the government takeover
Speaker 1: of companies' patents. I mean, that is what this system
Speaker 1: of capitalism and the society in which we live is
Speaker 1: all about. You come up with an idea, you patent
Speaker 1: the idea, or you copyright the book or the song,
Speaker 1: or you trademark the symbol, and you are protected protected
Speaker 1: from people seizing and exploiting your work product. This was
Speaker 1: the Vice president in a twenty nineteen video in Iowa.
Speaker 1: Just listen to the first few words. We will smash
Speaker 1: their patents. This has cut nineteen.
Speaker 6: Rob snatch their patent so that we will take over.
Speaker 6: And yes we can do that, Yes, yes we can
Speaker 6: do that. Yes we can do that. It's the question
Speaker 6: is do you have the will to do it? I
Speaker 6: have the will to do it.
Speaker 1: That is the potential future president of the United States,
Speaker 1: and that is what we are now left with. We're
Speaker 1: left with one candidate who who I don't understand Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Haven't understood Donald Trump? Maybe some of you do. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, he said he was better looking than Kamala Harris. Really,
Speaker 1: I mean, is that the level of presidential debate? Who's
Speaker 1: better looking? And look, I'm in no position to judge,
Speaker 1: but I don't think Donald Trump isn't any position a
Speaker 1: judge either. So what we have is someone who has
Speaker 1: expressed a willingness to literally literally have government control the economy.
Speaker 1: And you know what happens when government controls the economy.
Speaker 1: Things disappear, Shelves go bare. Think Cuba, think Venezuela, Think Russia,
Speaker 1: think countries behind the Iron Curtain. We are a nation
Speaker 1: that has so much, so much natural resources, so many
Speaker 1: wonderful farms. We feed the world, We feed our company,
Speaker 1: our country. We have social food programs here that are extraordinary.
Speaker 1: Do we really want to have food and price controls? Basically,
Speaker 1: the vice president maybe she doesn't realize it. She can
Speaker 1: go back to nineteen seventy one. Here was a Republican
Speaker 1: President Richard Nixon talking about freezing prices one a rob.
Speaker 7: The time has come for decisive action, action that will
Speaker 7: break the vicious circle of spiraling prices and costs. I
Speaker 7: am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages
Speaker 7: throughout the United States for a period of ninety days.
Speaker 1: How did that work out for you, trickster? It didn't,
Speaker 1: it didn't. We are in looneytoo Land, looneytune land right now, okay,
Speaker 1: And I have no idea. I do think I have
Speaker 1: an understanding of where she's coming from. I think she
Speaker 1: looks upon unbridled government authority and power like no presidential
Speaker 1: candidate in my lifetime has ever looked at it. That
Speaker 1: scares me. And Donald Trump, who is not able to
Speaker 1: have the discipline to go out and talk about issues
Speaker 1: and forget the adominum attacks on his opponent and his
Speaker 1: former opponent. I mean, he acts like a sixth grader.
Speaker 1: Maybe no, he doesn't act like a sixth grader. I
Speaker 1: give him too much credit. He acts like about a
Speaker 1: third grader, you know, who wants to get into a fight,
Speaker 1: a school yard fight with every kid in the school
Speaker 1: yard because he's a little bigger or whatever. This is
Speaker 1: the choice we're left with. This is it, folks, for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I would love to have your thoughts
Speaker 1: on pick your poison six one, seven, two, five, four
Speaker 1: ten thirty six one seven, nine three ten thirty. This
Speaker 1: is frightening when you talk about we will smash their patents,
Speaker 1: we will take them. That's that's that is the comment
Speaker 1: of a fascist. That is the comment of a fascist.
Speaker 1: We will take over industry if we have to. We
Speaker 1: do not care about a free market system. We do
Speaker 1: not care about a capitalistic system. We have more variety
Speaker 1: in now. There are prices that are overpriced. There's no
Speaker 1: question about it. Guess what the solution prices overpriced is.
Speaker 1: The solution is real simple. Don't buy the prices it
Speaker 1: don't buy, don't don't spend the money on the prices,
Speaker 1: don't buy the products. I walk proudly past items that
Speaker 1: I like because I think they are priced higher than
Speaker 1: I want to pay for them. That's an individual decision
Speaker 1: that I have a right to make as an American citizen.
Speaker 1: And if you want to put a package of cookies
Speaker 1: on the shelf and charge eighteen dollars, will all walk
Speaker 1: past that price, Okay? And guess what. Eventually the prices
Speaker 1: will come down. Fundamental economics one oh one. Inflation has
Speaker 1: caused when too much money is chasing too few goods.
Speaker 1: That's the problem we have right now, and it is
Speaker 1: not going to be solved by smashing patents and taking
Speaker 1: over companies like was done in Nazi Germany or in
Speaker 1: communists in the Soviet Union. I want to hear from you,
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping there's some people out who understand what
Speaker 1: is at stake here. This is the future, not of
Speaker 1: my country, because frankly, you know, I am well on
Speaker 1: the wrong side of fifty. But I'm worried about my kids,
Speaker 1: my grandkids, about where we're headed headed at this point,
Speaker 1: and somehow, some way, we as a nation have to
Speaker 1: figure it out. And I'm not sure there's a good
Speaker 1: solution here. Back on Nightside after this.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 2: nights Side Studios on DUBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the calls six triple eight, nine, nine,
Speaker 1: ten thirty and also six one, seven, nine thirty. We
Speaker 1: got full lines. Let me go to Mike and Beverley
Speaker 1: mic first up this hour and Nightside Gor.
Speaker 8: Ahead, Wow, Hey, d me, yes, sir, here you find
Speaker 8: go right ahead, Hey, so quickly about the the Trump'm
Speaker 8: saying about the the looking looking good situation. That was
Speaker 8: about the Time magazine how to go about Kamala Harris,
Speaker 8: about how they they they they hand drew her picture
Speaker 8: Time Magazine, How I go and now it his they
Speaker 8: they they they screwed it all up, stuff like that,
Speaker 8: and they should have put a they didn't put as
Speaker 8: on the Time magazine.
Speaker 9: But you have the shift by some on bios on
Speaker 9: the Time magazine because she came back one out of
Speaker 9: gold and she was the most decorated Gold medalist, but
Speaker 9: they said she put Kama Arason that you know, thing
Speaker 9: could be about the whole Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: That is the key issue. I would tell you this, Mike,
Speaker 1: That's one of the key issues in this campaign. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad that Trump is spending time talking about that
Speaker 1: one because I think that is a pressing issue.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I get it. It's a big time you know,
Speaker 9: yeah much, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Is forefront in my mind. I care about inflation, I
Speaker 1: care about immigration, and I care about the federal debt.
Speaker 1: But whether or not whose position is on whose pictures
Speaker 1: on the cover of Time magazine, particularly after the Olympics.
Speaker 1: That to me is the number one issue.
Speaker 9: I agree with you, Yeah, I get that, But he
Speaker 9: was just short around on his feet there other day
Speaker 9: about the situation I get, but a whole inflation about though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that when you when you think
Speaker 1: about you know, for example, some some of the presidential
Speaker 1: comments by you know, President Roosevelt, we have nothing to
Speaker 1: fear but fear itself. Uh, you know, President Kennedy, ask
Speaker 1: not what your country can do for you, but what
Speaker 1: you can do.
Speaker 10: For your country.
Speaker 1: I think that we would add to that list. Whatever
Speaker 1: Donald Trump said about Time magazine and Simone Biles, it
Speaker 1: should be. I think it should be. It should be
Speaker 1: emblazoned on buildings across America. That's how strongly I feel
Speaker 1: about him bringing that important issue to the forefront.
Speaker 9: I get him, But if people don't understand the part
Speaker 9: of inflation, you know, inflation of as you just said,
Speaker 9: it is about the whole spending money too much, too much,
Speaker 9: and too much coming back and the free money given out.
Speaker 9: That's why places is so high, and they don't understand that.
Speaker 9: And most of his still gas, you know, the fuel economy,
Speaker 9: and the LA goes on that sort of stuff. They
Speaker 9: give them money away like like it's like it's candy,
Speaker 9: and that's a desire inflation. Now there's other virus to
Speaker 9: kill everyone else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean you know right now, you know
Speaker 1: Harris wants to give first time home buyers twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I want to give him fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: I mean, why not one hundred thousand dollars? What can
Speaker 1: you get for twenty five thousand dollars? This is cut
Speaker 1: two way, This.
Speaker 9: Is this is some of the economic.
Speaker 1: Brilliance of the Vice president. Two way, please Rob.
Speaker 4: In addition, while we work on the housing shortage, my
Speaker 4: administration will provide first time home buyers with twenty five
Speaker 4: thousand dollars to help.
Speaker 1: WHOA maybe good, Yeah that's great. Why not fifty thousand?
Speaker 1: Why not? Why is it twenty five thousand dollars will
Speaker 1: get you nothing? Maybe you'll get you something.
Speaker 9: How's that gonna help them?
Speaker 11: Dan?
Speaker 9: That's gonna cause inflation and the big at debt. That's
Speaker 9: what it's gonna cause.
Speaker 1: Though you are absolutely right, Mike, you know something. You're
Speaker 1: you're you're a good economist. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 9: I think it's saying I'm in the poss of your business.
Speaker 8: I understand these things, and.
Speaker 9: It's so simple. People don't understand it. Why isn't Trump.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, Mike, why doesn't you and
Speaker 1: men Trump talk about that as opposed to who's better
Speaker 1: looking and whether or not some own bios pictures should
Speaker 1: be on Time magazine?
Speaker 9: He does, he does, he was doing on record. He
Speaker 9: was just showing around sometimes he's done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I thinks too much time screwing around in
Speaker 1: your words, Mike, loved you call me, and I keep
Speaker 1: calling the program.
Speaker 10: Okay, thank you, thank you much.
Speaker 1: Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty one line
Speaker 1: is there. Let's keep it rolling, coming back right after
Speaker 1: the news here on Nightside on a Monday night. We
Speaker 1: got a lot of luck to talk about tonight.
Speaker 2: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
Speaker 2: news radio.
Speaker 1: All right, let us keep rolling here, going to go
Speaker 1: to Rachel in Quincy, Rachel next on Nightside.
Speaker 12: Welcome back, Hey, Hey, Dan.
Speaker 11: So Mike comments is if she's running for president and
Speaker 11: she had four years to do what she's saying, she
Speaker 11: wants to do what you know.
Speaker 13: What I'm saying is I know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Look, when all of a sudden the vice president came
Speaker 1: out and copied former President Trump's idea of no taxes
Speaker 1: on tips for waiters and waitresses and you know, hostesses
Speaker 1: and bartenders. I think that's a great idea, Okay, But
Speaker 1: where was the Biden Harris administration with the last three
Speaker 1: and a half years. I mean, did that thought not
Speaker 1: pass to anyone's mind? And why didn't they act on it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 11: Exactly, she's saying, oh, we're gonna build three million dollar homes.
Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, that the only homes
Speaker 1: the government builds are homes that they build with our
Speaker 1: federal tax dollars. They don't build homes. They tax people,
Speaker 1: and then with that tax money they build some homes.
Speaker 1: But it's it's builders who build the homes.
Speaker 11: My thing is is, why is she promising she's going
Speaker 11: to do this and do that when she had four years?
Speaker 1: You know, you're asking, you're asking a great what's called
Speaker 1: a rhetorical question. You know what the answer to that is.
Speaker 1: And the answer to that is she's trolling for votes.
Speaker 11: Shame on her, okay, And you know what, and then
Speaker 11: and then with mister Trump, right, It's like, who cares
Speaker 11: what anybody looks like. We don't care what you look like.
Speaker 11: We need to hear what you're going to do for
Speaker 11: our country. And if you keep like you know, you're
Speaker 11: not going to be voted, you're not going to be voted.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you this. This guy almost sounds
Speaker 1: to me like every day he wants to say something
Speaker 1: really insulting, really abrasive, and he wants to further turn
Speaker 1: off the voters that he needs to win. You almost
Speaker 1: wonder if Donald Trump really wants to win this office
Speaker 1: or whether he would prefer to lose again and wallow
Speaker 1: in his own misery, in his own martyrdom.
Speaker 11: I agree with you. So I need to ask you something, Dan,
Speaker 11: which not like into voting, but who else Like you
Speaker 11: know what mister Kennedy is, he's somebody that could take
Speaker 11: our country four percent.
Speaker 1: His poll right now is he's polling in four percent.
Speaker 1: So Rosspureau. Ross Pureau won nineteen percent of the popular
Speaker 1: vote in nineteen ninety two, nineteen percent, almost twenty percent.
Speaker 1: You know how many electoral votes ross Boro? One? No,
Speaker 1: it's a very round number. It's called zero. Really, in
Speaker 1: order to in order to win electoral votes. You got
Speaker 1: to get somewhere up in the high the mid to
Speaker 1: high thirties and hope that it splits in your direct No,
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is that this path as days
Speaker 1: go by, becoming more and more of a non factor.
Speaker 1: It's going to be Harris or Trump.
Speaker 11: But I just I have a question though, Right, so
Speaker 11: all we see is Trump and what's her face? Why
Speaker 11: don't we see more of the other parties?
Speaker 1: What other parties?
Speaker 11: Well, I'm just saying, you.
Speaker 1: Know, the Green Party or the Libertarian Party.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because for years and years and years,
Speaker 14: the Green Party have run candidates Jill Stein for the
Speaker 14: most part, the Libertarians always run a candidate.
Speaker 1: They get like one and a half percent of the
Speaker 1: vote in a few states. They're not relevant. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know in terms of sadly, I mean you you
Speaker 1: can argue and say, oh, it's too bad we only
Speaker 1: have two major parties, but that's what it is.
Speaker 11: I'm telling you think, I know, do you think that
Speaker 11: that is? Okay? So my thing is right, It's like,
Speaker 11: like I said, I'm not really into politics, but I'm like,
Speaker 11: why can't we just pick somebody that is going to
Speaker 11: run our country. It doesn't matter what party. This is
Speaker 11: where I get confused.
Speaker 12: Well, what happens is.
Speaker 1: You have these two major parties that are around now
Speaker 1: for hundreds of years, a couple of hundred years. And
Speaker 1: you know, the Republican Party was formed, you know, in
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty what would before that? But when they first
Speaker 1: elected Abraham Lincoln. The Democrats been around for a long time.
Speaker 1: They have each you involved in different directions. They represent
Speaker 1: the two significant philosophical philosophies of political thought, a more
Speaker 1: progressive liberal thought, whatever you want to call it, more
Speaker 1: conservative traditional thought. And that's what happens. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we have third parties in this country,
Speaker 1: but they never get traction. I don't have a better
Speaker 1: answer than that, Rachel. I got to keep rolling, though.
Speaker 1: Where have you been? I haven't talked to you in
Speaker 1: a while. Come on back more often, will you?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Dan, I got some issues I got, like Parkinson's. That's
Speaker 11: something I would love to hear about. I get I
Speaker 11: taking care of my dad and my mom.
Speaker 1: Are you dealing with it? Are you dealing with it?
Speaker 1: Are your parents?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 11: I do not have it, but my dad has it,
Speaker 11: and I know that We've talked about my niece, the homeless.
Speaker 11: I can't find her place because of the immigration stuff whatever.
Speaker 1: But well again, feel free to call you. Know, as
Speaker 1: you probably know, our dear friend Jordan Rich is also
Speaker 1: dealing with Parkinson's and.
Speaker 11: So you know, I would love to like I know
Speaker 11: you had asked Rob to reach out to me for
Speaker 11: a private EMA for you, and I would love to
Speaker 11: chat with you and.
Speaker 1: Rob, give you direct Hang on, Robi, give you my
Speaker 1: direct number. Call that and I'll call you back. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't have all right?
Speaker 11: All right, thanks, don't hang up.
Speaker 1: Let's keep going. Here're gonna go to Steve and Merrimack,
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Steve, appreciate you calling in you next to
Speaker 1: the night Side. Steve.
Speaker 10: Hey, Hey, Dan, it's good talking to you again. And
Speaker 10: I just can't want to say now I know why
Speaker 10: you're a great talk shows host and you have a
Speaker 10: great legal mind as an attorney, because every single point
Speaker 10: you made tonight were all the points that I was
Speaker 10: talking to my friends about today and then some and
Speaker 10: then Steve, you're a student of history, so on why
Speaker 10: I lived through nineteen seventy one. I remember the price controls,
Speaker 10: you know it didn't work. Nothing works like that. You
Speaker 10: know you got and when you were talking about the
Speaker 10: grant for you know, the first time home buyers, it's
Speaker 10: an arbitrary amount. It has nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 10: It's just they just want to fand or her roads.
Speaker 10: And then and then Trump, like you were talking about,
Speaker 10: you know, his name calling, which he he can. He
Speaker 10: incessantly does that all the time. He can't stop. He
Speaker 10: can't help himself. We're doing I don't know helse to
Speaker 10: put it. I don't think we can win no matter
Speaker 10: who wins this election.
Speaker 1: Well that's the problem.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 1: I think I think Nixon lost his mind in about
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one. I think he became enthralled with the
Speaker 1: with it with mouth say tongue and the Chinese communist
Speaker 1: He was reaching out with Henry Kissinger to detaunt with China,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's like talking about, what
Speaker 1: do you think this is what they do in communist China,
Speaker 1: this is what they do in communist countries around the world.
Speaker 1: It's like, we're going to have price controls. And what
Speaker 1: happens is you have price controls and no one says, well,
Speaker 1: why am I going to make bread. If I can't
Speaker 1: make money, I'm not going to spend my day working
Speaker 1: on loaves of bread.
Speaker 10: I mean, that's true.
Speaker 1: And think there's an underground economy you'll bag mell be
Speaker 1: just like drugs. You'll be You'll be meeting some guy
Speaker 1: in a parking lot late at night. Stay. Yeah, got
Speaker 1: a loaf of sour dough. Okay, how much? Five bucks?
Speaker 10: Okay, that's what's gonna happen in Venezuela. Try and get
Speaker 10: toils they were down there. Good luck to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
Speaker 10: His history tends to repeat itself. What they do is
Speaker 10: they wait until people forget what happened way back when,
Speaker 10: and then they put the same theories and issues forward
Speaker 10: that don't work, and they think that things are somewhow
Speaker 10: going to change. I think that's the definition of insanity.
Speaker 1: It is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, command controlled economy by the government.
Speaker 1: We live in the freest country in the world, thank god.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 1: The answer is to tell tell some cookie maker, you know,
Speaker 1: tell famous Namous God bless him. He died the other day,
Speaker 1: but it'll be back telling famous Amos. You can sow
Speaker 1: your cookies for three. You you have to charge one
Speaker 1: ninety nine. What's he gonna do?
Speaker 10: Kidding?
Speaker 1: It's insanity. And guess what, you listen to those people
Speaker 1: as soon as she talked about it, they're clapping. They'll
Speaker 1: like clapping seals. They're so dumb, literally, they have no
Speaker 1: clue what they're applauding. But yeah, we're gonna have absolutely
Speaker 1: free cookies. Well, I'm with you, free cookies. It's nice.
Speaker 10: We have gone through a disaster for the last four years,
Speaker 10: and nothing is gonna change no matter who gets elected,
Speaker 10: except that there's just gonna be more acrimony, you know,
Speaker 10: from one side over the other, and the I think
Speaker 10: the people in this country are the ones that are
Speaker 10: gonna be suffering the wrath of what happens. Trump is
Speaker 10: gonna be He's gonna get if he wins, which I'm
Speaker 10: not sure he will, he will probably get impeached again
Speaker 10: because that's all they know how to do. And I
Speaker 10: don't know what's gonna happen with his trials and all that.
Speaker 1: I'm looking. I'm looking for the next John Kennedy and
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and the next Ronald Reagan, and I
Speaker 1: don't see them.
Speaker 10: John Kennedy says the world two times. Well, I should
Speaker 10: say the Cuban Missi crisis, which I wrote a paper
Speaker 10: on when I was in college. He saved the world.
Speaker 10: If he hadn't been assassinated, we wouldn't have had Vietnam.
Speaker 10: I think you'd have to agree that he was way
Speaker 10: too smart to get us into that mess.
Speaker 1: But well, I don't know, he wan. I must tell
Speaker 1: you if you read history on it. Okay, I can
Speaker 1: tell you this. When when JFK became President of the
Speaker 1: United States, we had about nine hundred advisors in self Vietnam.
Speaker 1: When he was assassinated, that number had had grown to
Speaker 1: sixteen thousand. So there was a significant uptick whether or
Speaker 1: not he was having you know, people believed that he
Speaker 1: would have pulled back, but it was from the from
Speaker 1: Eisenhower to Kennedy there was an uptick. That's what the
Speaker 1: numbers show.
Speaker 10: But you know, heart of the Cold War, that was
Speaker 10: the coal mentality, it was.
Speaker 1: It was the Domino theory. You remember all of that. Steve,
Speaker 1: I got to run him on my break. I love

Speaker 12: the other room, and I can see them in my
Speaker 12: left eye. I can hear them out of my left
Speaker 12: ear if I needed to hear them. And there was
Speaker 12: a gentleman from the U a W. I guess that
Speaker 12: is the United Autos Workers, right, And then the next
Speaker 12: guest or speaker is that Bartenders from Brooklyn.
Speaker 9: New York.
Speaker 12: And I had to get up and turn the television
Speaker 12: off because I am not going to waste my heart
Speaker 12: earn electricity. Yes, I had to turn that off real quick,
Speaker 12: and I was that was in between the m cast
Speaker 12: and so I'm really excited to be here talking with

Speaker 12: I don't know when he spuck.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 12: You know, if people get down in the coal mine
Speaker 12: and risk their lives to make that electricity, they don't
Speaker 12: need to put her on the air. Okay, you asked
Speaker 12: to pick our poison, right, Let's get to the Let's
Speaker 12: get to the nitty gritty. Sure, the poison's coming into
Speaker 12: our country and we don't have to pick it. Who's
Speaker 12: gonna Who's gonna stop it? And we'll you're talking about
Speaker 12: fentanyl amongst other things we're talking to Yeah, we're talking
Speaker 12: about fentanyl. We're talking about immigration. Who's going to be
Speaker 12: the one that is going to really put their foot down?
Speaker 12: And I believe the only one who's going to be
Speaker 12: able to do it is Trump.
Speaker 1: I understand that argument, but can you explain to me
Speaker 1: why he's incapable of talking about issues? And all he
Speaker 1: wants to talk about is the twenty twenty election and
Speaker 1: who's better looking and and whether or not uh Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris has now decided that she's black or Asian? I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, what is he wasting his time for? What's
Speaker 1: he trying to do?
Speaker 12: That is a waste of time. I really wish that
Speaker 12: I could speak with him and ask, you know, I
Speaker 12: don't think I don't want.
Speaker 1: Can change this guy's mind. I think he's you know,
Speaker 1: he goes back to this thing about now he talks
Speaker 1: about the ultimate ward is award is not the Congressional
Speaker 1: Medal of Water. What is he nuts?
Speaker 12: Yeah? Uh? What do they say was about the Dixon campaign?
Speaker 12: Just don't say anything, and let me just say this.
Speaker 12: The words you just you just smile and wave and
Speaker 12: say hello and I thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah,
Speaker 12: I'm just kind of glad to be here. Everyone looks great.
Speaker 12: Definitely really not.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the one thing you have, you have the
Speaker 1: vice president who wants to pander to everybody. We'll build
Speaker 1: three million homes, We'll give twenty five thousand dollars to everybody,
Speaker 1: and the world will be happy. And uh, and season
Speaker 1: tickets to the to the to the Major League if
Speaker 1: you live in a major league city, let's give Let's
Speaker 1: give everybody season tickets to the Red Sox games and
Speaker 1: the Yankee games and the Nationals games.
Speaker 12: Right right, So, after a year and a half of
Speaker 12: building up to this thing, the presidential election campaign, it's
Speaker 12: now here. It's the build up was not what it was.
Speaker 1: The building is better than the results.
Speaker 10: I mean.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Hey, Patrick, love your calls, man, Okay, keep checking
Speaker 1: in on this.
Speaker 12: Okay, you got it, man, Thank you much.
Speaker 1: Doctor. Soon let me go next to James and Stoton. James,
Speaker 1: how are you tonight?
Speaker 15: Oh sir, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: Feels great? What's on your mind?
Speaker 15: I find something troubling about some of the talking points
Speaker 15: I hear from people. First of all, I don't think
Speaker 15: a lot of people that are politically as do everyone
Speaker 15: who barely got a high school all a sudden now
Speaker 15: is a political punting and become on social media and
Speaker 15: he just bows bs. You cannot explain to me how
Speaker 15: people who live in the poorest parts of our country.
Speaker 15: If you look at the poorest states, they're mostly red states, Mississippi, Alabama.
Speaker 15: But you have to keep talking about the Republicans are
Speaker 15: good for the economy. In fact, I think it's the
Speaker 15: Economy Policy Institute. You can google it from nineteen fourty
Speaker 15: nine to now. Where can people do better underneath Democrats?
Speaker 15: I'm a union construction worker. I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 15: I remember make over fifty dollars an hour than being
Speaker 15: massasapi and make fourteen dollars an hour reading my Bible,
Speaker 15: shoe my gun at ducks. Listen to these moralus what
Speaker 15: we should have did after the Civil Wars to buy
Speaker 15: the country. You know what this country will look like
Speaker 15: just look at the Korean peninsula northwest south. So I
Speaker 15: mean people could believe with the one, but just stay
Speaker 15: down there. Every time I go to a construction site,
Speaker 15: you know why I see license plates from Tennessee, Arkansas.
Speaker 15: If Republicans are so great at kream jobs, tell the
Speaker 15: n Breeds to stay down there?
Speaker 1: Why are you so why you so mad at these people?
Speaker 1: I mean, they haven't right to have this set. Let
Speaker 1: me ask I hate Okay, let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: For the last I don't know, at least well close
Speaker 1: to one hundred years, black Americans have been very supportive
Speaker 1: of Democratic presidential candidates.
Speaker 10: And yet I look at did you say one hundred years?
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because Democrats into like in what the sixties,
Speaker 15: no no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, nineteen thirties. I think there
Speaker 1: was a switch in the Roosevelt election of nineteen thirty two.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that black Americans have received a
Speaker 1: fair shake because I look at poverty levels in this country.
Speaker 1: I look at the school systems that you know, most
Speaker 1: black kids find themselves, particularly in urban northern areas, and
Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot of people who get
Speaker 1: comfortable with one party or the other, and they don't
Speaker 1: consider that, they don't consider the alternatives. I think.
Speaker 15: I've heard that argument, and I'll say right now, I'm
Speaker 15: doing better than my cousins in the South and the
Speaker 15: vast Victoria.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you. You're doing better. You're living in
Speaker 1: Boston or living in Stoughton, which is great, okay, but
Speaker 1: what about the kids in Chicago? Will favor do me
Speaker 1: a favorite? Don't tell me what I believe in? Don't
Speaker 1: you language of the year? That is? That's inappropriate, okay,
Speaker 1: And don't try to tell me what I believe. I
Speaker 1: won't tell you. I won't tell you what you believe.
Speaker 1: If you got into my questions, that's your problem, not mine.
Speaker 1: Let me go next to Tricia Elinn.
Speaker 12: Tricia, you next on Nightsiger, right ahead, Hi, Dan boy,
Speaker 12: those two people that are running.
Speaker 13: I love Trump, but I mean the insults and all
Speaker 13: that grade school stuff is terrible. But I believe that
Speaker 13: he would be better to handle people like Ninya who
Speaker 13: are putin than Kamela would. She is a very attractive woman.
Speaker 13: I didn't have my Internet on, but I did this weekend,
Speaker 13: and it's the first time I heard her speak and
Speaker 13: saw her really up close and the crowds clapping, and
Speaker 13: my nickname for her is Giggles. And I don't think
Speaker 13: she could handle foreign policy at all. I don't think
Speaker 13: she's really in touch. I don't think she has children.
Speaker 13: She's never been in a grocery store. She's out of
Speaker 13: her mind socialists and I can't stand that.
Speaker 1: What what what does her status of having children have
Speaker 1: to do with anything?
Speaker 13: Well, because people have children, they they're more like they're
Speaker 13: in the grocery stores, they're buying groceries. They you know,
Speaker 13: they need more money to send the kids to college
Speaker 13: and things like that.
Speaker 1: But you know, to live however you live.
Speaker 13: I mean she's I don't know, she's class well, she worked,
Speaker 13: she worked at I believe her biography suggests that she
Speaker 13: worked as the McDonald's when she was.
Speaker 1: When when she was in school to help get herself
Speaker 1: through school. I don't know what she.
Speaker 13: Was yeah, good, yeah, what she was. What she was
Speaker 13: talking about was like and she get an applause about
Speaker 13: abortion and at one time she had said something about
Speaker 13: lowering the population so everybody can have clean drinking water.
Speaker 13: And what she was supposed to what about the immigrants,
Speaker 13: you know, people coming into this country. That's overpopulation right there,
Speaker 13: off the charts. The nuns taught us in nineteen sixty
Speaker 13: four about overpopulation and that's what we're experiencing now. The
Speaker 13: shortage of housing and so forth. Our country is not
Speaker 13: at all the same. And you're right pandering for votes
Speaker 13: and everybody would clap, and this thing about abortion and
Speaker 13: everybody would clap. You know, it's ridiculous. You have to
Speaker 13: concentrate on the big issues, the border and foreign policy.
Speaker 1: Well, I think the big party, each party, will, you know,
Speaker 1: emphasize their issues. I think that out in Chicago today,
Speaker 1: I think that there were vans out there from some
Speaker 1: clinic which was offering not only free abortions, but free vs. Actomies.
Speaker 1: And I mean didn't wasn't something that I'd necessarily be
Speaker 1: interested in. But if that's what their constituents feel they
Speaker 1: need and they can get them for free, good luck,
Speaker 1: good luck. I hate to do this to you, Trish,
Speaker 1: but I got I gotta run here, and I got
Speaker 1: to step aside for the eleven o'clock news. Come on
Speaker 1: back soon. Become more of a regular world.
Speaker 13: This world Buddhism, check it out with people don't want
Speaker 13: to live in a tranquility and vote for giggles. We
Speaker 13: have to stop that ridiculous thank.
Speaker 1: You, no sense of, no sense of don't call her names,
Speaker 1: you know, just I mean, I'm just tired of the
Speaker 1: name call, and I really am, and I think that
Speaker 1: let's deal with issues. Let's try to deal with issues
Speaker 1: and stop calling you know people name simple as that.
Speaker 1: Thanks chrissure, I have a great night. We'll be back
Speaker 1: on Night's side right after the eleven o'clock news
