Speaker 1: It's Nights with Dan Ray on Boston. By the way,
Speaker 1: I just did a little Google search on Joe Rogan,
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know everything, so I was
Speaker 1: interested to find out. This guy is fifty seven years
Speaker 1: of age. He was born in Newark, but eventually he
Speaker 1: moved around with his mom to get his mom and
Speaker 1: dad divorced. He settled in Newton, Upper Falls, Massachusetts. Graduated
Speaker 1: from Newton South High School in nineteen eighty five, which
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. He took up karate and things
Speaker 1: like that, and he was a taekwondo instructor, so you know.
Speaker 1: He he attended UMass Boston, but he found the endeavor
Speaker 1: pointless and dropped out early. So yeah, very interesting. His
Speaker 1: stand up comic and all of that. And he's got
Speaker 1: this very successful podcast. I guess he's a UFC commentator
Speaker 1: and very successful. I guess he does comedy shows and
Speaker 1: it has a big, big podcast, which is great. Now,
Speaker 1: apparently he claimed that his interview with President Trump was suppressed.
Speaker 1: But according to Forbes magazine Forbes you know Forbes website,
Speaker 1: they say that Brogan said his interview with former President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump faced an issue that prevented it from surfacing
Speaker 1: on YouTube search function, a problem that Google reportedly said
Speaker 1: it had addressed, and now brogan challenges that without any
Speaker 1: evidence that the video sharing site intentionally suppressed the interview.
Speaker 1: So whatever. So here's a guy not formally educated, but
Speaker 1: obviously he has a big podcast following. Interesting, just interesting.
Speaker 1: We will will move past that. As they say, I
Speaker 1: tend not to try to publicize competitors, which is fine.
Speaker 1: But he was brought up and I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: he had a Massachusetts connection. Isn't that interesting? Always always
Speaker 1: comes back to Massachusetts. Okay, here's what I want to do.
Speaker 1: The big event tomorrow is the election, and this country
Speaker 1: was either going to re elect Donald Trump as the
Speaker 1: forty seventh president or they will elect the current sitting
Speaker 1: vice president as the forty seventh president, Vice President Harris.
Speaker 1: I think all of us know the storyline that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has been in search of this position ever since
Speaker 1: he was defeated in November of twenty twenty. I think
Speaker 1: that there's probably no politician in America that people know
Speaker 1: more about than Donald Trump. And tomorrow, either he will
Speaker 1: be elected forty seventh president or he will be rejected
Speaker 1: for a second time. I myself am pretty surprised that
Speaker 1: after all of that he's been through, that he is
Speaker 1: this close to the presidency, and I think it's a
Speaker 1: coin flip. I was hoping for a decisive victory for
Speaker 1: either candidate, because I think that we as a country
Speaker 1: deserve an election that is decisive. But it would appear
Speaker 1: from all the polls, even as late as tonight, that
Speaker 1: that is not likely to happen. They're suggesting that it
Speaker 1: could be two or three days before we finally know
Speaker 1: who the next president will be. That's the reality in
Speaker 1: which we live. We will follow the controversy on Night's
Speaker 1: side to whatever extent that controversy rears an ugly head.
Speaker 1: It would be great to think that both former President
Speaker 1: Trump and Vice President Harris would both look at the
Speaker 1: situation and when it becomes apparent one is one, one
Speaker 1: is lost, as inevitably it will occur that we could
Speaker 1: wrap this election a little bit more quickly and more
Speaker 1: easily than we did in twenty twenty. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the future holds, but what I want to do
Speaker 1: tonight is this. I want to give you an opportunity
Speaker 1: to call in, tell me who you think is going
Speaker 1: to win, and pick a number, how many electoral votes
Speaker 1: will your can they receive? We now again, electrical votes
Speaker 1: sometimes slide, But basically, when the final decision is announced,
Speaker 1: I'd like to if one of you and I'm going
Speaker 1: to try to make sure that people don't pick the
Speaker 1: same now, but you have to pick the winning candidate,
Speaker 1: whether you support the vice president or if this has
Speaker 1: got nothing to do with support, it's who do you
Speaker 1: think is going to win? And as a prize, we
Speaker 1: are about to receive some Knight Side tote bags. I've
Speaker 1: not mentioned this on the show before. Knightside tote Bags,
Speaker 1: which will be produced by our friends at College Hype,
Speaker 1: Jack Dougherty and Kathleen Hickey and Joe Foley and everybody
Speaker 1: over at at Dorchester at College Hype. They have been
Speaker 1: so supportive of the program over the years and they
Speaker 1: have pledged. Last month we gave away a lot of
Speaker 1: breast cancer in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we
Speaker 1: gave away breast cancer t shirts. And this will be
Speaker 1: the first night Side tote bag. Gonna be black and white,
Speaker 1: black tote bag with white lettering. And what you have
Speaker 1: to do is tell me in the next two hours
Speaker 1: who will win Tomorrow Night and a prediction of the
Speaker 1: number of electoral votes. So if you call and you
Speaker 1: tell me so and so is going to win, you
Speaker 1: got to be right on the number in terms of
Speaker 1: who wins. Right on the who wins number one, you
Speaker 1: can get the electoral college number correct. But if you
Speaker 1: don't pick the right winner, then you don't win. So
Speaker 1: you got to pick the right winner, and you got
Speaker 1: to pick the right or as close to the number
Speaker 1: of electoral votes. And if there's a tie, if let
Speaker 1: us say hypothetically the winning number is of electoral votes
Speaker 1: is two eighty three, and I have some person at
Speaker 1: two eighty two, and someone at two eighty four will
Speaker 1: give away two bags, but uh, that will be it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that someone will pick the number exactly. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open up the phone lines six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty. Those lines are already full. Six one, seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 1: ten thirty. We will keep a record of this. Rob
Speaker 1: is not gonna have I will keep the record for you, Rob,
Speaker 1: of the the person who wins. We will know the
Speaker 1: voice of the person that wins. We will know when
Speaker 1: they called, and then tomorrow night or maybe Wednesday, not
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night, Wednesday or Thursday night, whenever there is now
Speaker 1: you can have what's called unfaithful electors, and that happens periodically.
Speaker 1: So sometimes when there's a presidential candidate who wins, pick
Speaker 1: a number, you know, two hundred and eighty two hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety three hundred, three hundred twenty electoral votes. Sometimes
Speaker 1: when the votes are tabulated in Washington on about that
Speaker 1: first week in January, they can be an elector who's
Speaker 1: got's called an unfaithful elector, and that means that the elector,
Speaker 1: even though they were pledged to vote for candidate X,
Speaker 1: they either vote for candidate Y or they vote for
Speaker 1: someone who you've never heard of. But the number that
Speaker 1: we will settle upon is whatever the number of electoral
Speaker 1: votes are that are one and secured and announced whenever
Speaker 1: the presidential the president elect is declared. Okay, so as
Speaker 1: long as we know the rules, we'll we only have
Speaker 1: one line open at six, one, seven, nine, uh, and
Speaker 1: you will have bragging rights if you win, uh, and
Speaker 1: you'll win a lovely tote bag. So with that, we're
Speaker 1: going to take a break. Be right back on Night's
Speaker 1: side as we talk about what's going to happen in
Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours. We know the polls will
Speaker 1: be closing all across the country. Many of the polls
Speaker 1: in the East and the Central States will be closed
Speaker 1: twenty four hours from now. I mean, I remember when
Speaker 1: this was starting. Remember last winter or a year, a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, when they had a couple of
Speaker 1: those those beauty pageants as they're called political where the
Speaker 1: candidates go out to Iowa and they go to the
Speaker 1: Iowa State Fair and they have all sorts of you know,
Speaker 1: activities out there, and oh, Senator so and so showed up,
Speaker 1: our Governor so and show showed up. And then they
Speaker 1: finally get into the Iowa caucus and how critical that
Speaker 1: is and who wins and by how much? And then
Speaker 1: the New Hampshire primary and all of those fights, and
Speaker 1: then finally you have two nominees who emerge, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden. And then there's a debate in late
Speaker 1: June in which Joe Biden doesn't do well, and within
Speaker 1: about a month Joe Biden says, I'm not running for president,
Speaker 1: even though he had said he would stay in the
Speaker 1: race no matter what. You have two assassination attempts. This
Speaker 1: has been an amazing election so far, only one presidential debate,
Speaker 1: one presidential debate between the nominees of the party Harris
Speaker 1: and Trump, and one vice presidential debate. That's it. This
Speaker 1: has been an extraordinary year. It's one of those years
Speaker 1: that you can tell your grandchildren about that you that
Speaker 1: you lived through this year. Let's hope the country survives.
Speaker 1: Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 1: ten thirty Back on Night's Side right after.
Speaker 2: This, Now back to Dan Ray Mine from the Window World.
Speaker 3: Night Side Studios on w b Z News Radio.
Speaker 1: All right, let us go. We're gonna go to Paul
Speaker 1: in Wakefield. Paul, you're gonna start us off tonight here
Speaker 1: in the ten o'clock hour. How are you, Paul?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 5: Dan, Good, evening, Jim. I think it's gonna be the
Speaker 5: it's going to be the sisive win by Harris. I
Speaker 5: really think in Middle America women are going to come
Speaker 5: out in droves and there'll be a majority of silent
Speaker 5: Republicans who will vote for her just because they're anti Trump.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Okay, So you know what sort of a
Speaker 1: number do you think she'll get. I'm not gonna rush
Speaker 1: you just curious how much.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with three thirteen?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's that would be a very decisive win.
Speaker 1: How do you think it not that? That's what I
Speaker 1: got you down for three thirteen. How do you think
Speaker 1: it will come out in terms of the popular vote?
Speaker 5: I think she's also gonna win substantially there too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't if she. If she wins substantially
Speaker 1: in the popular vote, three thirteen would be certainly well
Speaker 1: within reach.
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's it's I like to have a thirteen.
Speaker 5: That's a favorite number of mind. I think it's going
Speaker 5: to be higher than that, but I don't want to guess.
Speaker 5: I think in the seven states that you know, everybody's
Speaker 5: questioning going to say, yes, I think she's gonna win
Speaker 5: substantially in five of them. I really do. I think
Speaker 5: women are going to come out in droves, all right,
Speaker 5: And I think that.
Speaker 1: I it's it's interesting do you think that, Uh we
Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit the other night. How
Speaker 1: much of a mistake do you think it was or
Speaker 1: it has been. I can't say it was because obviously
Speaker 1: the votes haven't been counted yet. But do you think
Speaker 1: Donald Trump would have benefited. Nikki Haley said she was
Speaker 1: willing to campaign alongside him, to be at events with him,
Speaker 1: and I think that Trump has ignored her.
Speaker 5: How I think. I think the form of hugeon was sake.
Speaker 5: I think the former president has put his foot in
Speaker 5: his mouth too many times. Way he talks about loving
Speaker 5: women in his recent Carmen saying that you know he's
Speaker 5: going to help women even if they don't want it.
Speaker 5: In his carments concerning Cheney in front of a firing squad, yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 1: Think he I think that's an unfair characterization, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, I think what he was trying to
Speaker 1: say was that Cheney, if you remember her father never
Speaker 1: served in the military.
Speaker 5: And a lot of neither did the former president though
Speaker 5: when he had five deferments, so in an area, I
Speaker 5: don't think he should have ventured.
Speaker 1: Agree with you, No, I agree with you, But I
Speaker 1: think what he was saying was not in fairness, and
Speaker 1: you got to be fair here. I don't think he
Speaker 1: was saying she's going to be in front of a
Speaker 1: firing squad, because people who are in front of a
Speaker 1: firing squad generally don't have a weapon in their own hand.
Speaker 1: They generally have blindfolded and with their hands diyed behind
Speaker 1: their back. I think what he was saying was that
Speaker 1: maybe that she and others in Washington, he's trying to
Speaker 1: present himself as the anti war candidate, which is sort
Speaker 1: of an interesting situation because Democratic Party traditionally, during our lifetimes,
Speaker 1: least mine Democratic Party has been much more considered an
Speaker 1: anti war candidate, and it was always the neo conservatives,
Speaker 1: of whom Dick Cheney was was was one of the
Speaker 1: leaders of the neo Conservatives. He was trying to make
Speaker 1: that point, then it's easy to sit in Washington and
Speaker 1: vote for American involvement militarily in situations.
Speaker 5: Right on the front.
Speaker 1: You don't have no skin in the game. He could
Speaker 1: have articulated it much more effectively, obviously, But I think
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that he
Speaker 1: was saying that she should be in front of a
Speaker 1: firing squad. I mean, I think he's you know, awkward.
Speaker 1: He could have been. He could have just been much.
Speaker 5: He could have agreed, he could have positioned it, he
Speaker 5: could have said it better. But I think what people
Speaker 5: heard is her would have gotten and you know, I
Speaker 5: don't remember the number he said.
Speaker 1: But but but again, you know that's a situation that
Speaker 1: that would be some you know, if you're in front
Speaker 1: of a firing squad, I mean, you don't have a
Speaker 1: gun in your hand. Let's be real.
Speaker 5: No, but he a comment that he wants to help women,
Speaker 5: that he's going to be the best thing for women,
Speaker 5: and why would he want.
Speaker 3: To help Liz Cheney? Then you know he would have
Speaker 3: been off to say nothing.
Speaker 1: Well he was attempting to do in terms of his
Speaker 1: comment about helping women was he was trying to link
Speaker 1: that to increase in crime and uh, people coming across
Speaker 1: the border who commit crime, who are who are unvet on,
Speaker 1: you know, unfettered. Uh and uh, yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: what I think he was trying to make. That point.
Speaker 1: Didn't make it particularly well, okay, but that's what that's
Speaker 1: what he was. That was what he was trying to say. Okay,
Speaker 1: and again, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 5: When you listen to the President and some of the speeches,
Speaker 5: he knows a lot of men in power for positions CEOs.
Speaker 5: You never heard him say I'm friends with or I
Speaker 5: know women who are impowerful and important positions. I really
Speaker 5: think he doesn't like women in my own personal opinion.
Speaker 1: But the smart women who surrounded him. I mean, he
Speaker 1: had a lot of women.
Speaker 5: I don't understand that. No, he does, I hear you,
Speaker 5: but that it is women who travel across the country
Speaker 5: to be with them. It's my understanding that he helps
Speaker 5: stay for their transportation class. I don't know that's true enough,
Speaker 5: but I've heard that.
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about?
Speaker 5: There are a group of women that who always behind
Speaker 5: him at a lot.
Speaker 3: Of his rallies.
Speaker 1: And he's made a couple of comments how he has
Speaker 1: he has huge rallies. And again, don't undercut your your
Speaker 1: ability to criticize him by by saying that he's paying
Speaker 1: people to travel around the country.
Speaker 3: No, just these group of women and I you see.
Speaker 1: People behind him. It's always It's not like it's the
Speaker 1: same group of people. Does he for example, maybe like
Speaker 1: the grateful dead head people who were groupies and who
Speaker 1: who try to go to different rallies. Yeah, but come on,
Speaker 1: I mean, let's you know, there's a lot, there's a
Speaker 1: lot to criticize here. It's a target rich environment. Don't
Speaker 1: undercut your your legitimate criticism.
Speaker 3: So I'll be.
Speaker 5: Honest, I really don't watch or Pidmu's attention to the
Speaker 5: form of president because I'm not in favor of them,
Speaker 5: so but I want to hear what he has to say.
Speaker 1: I think it's a what everybody has to say, particularly
Speaker 1: people that you don't like. To be honest with this,
Speaker 1: criticize them critically. Okay, all right, Paul, giving you a
Speaker 1: lot of time here. I want to wanted to start.
Speaker 5: Off tomorrow, but I don't think we're going for Friday
Speaker 5: morning either.
Speaker 1: Good luck to good luck to everybody to all. Let's
Speaker 1: hope tomorrow goes without any sort of ugly incident anywhere
Speaker 1: in the county.
Speaker 3: I pray that nothing happens. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: We take a quick break here at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the hour. We have the newscast coming up. We'll pick
Speaker 1: up the pace six one, seven, two, five, four to
Speaker 1: ten thirty one line there, six one, seven, nine, three,
Speaker 1: one ten thirty. Who do you predict doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be who you thinks who you're gonna vote for. I
Speaker 1: don't care who you vote for tonight. I want to
Speaker 1: know who you think is gonna win and by what
Speaker 1: number of electoral votes. And we do have a little
Speaker 1: prize here which will be one of the first WBZ topebags,
Speaker 1: whoever picks the number. The number three thirteen for Vice
Speaker 1: President Harris is gone, so we have plenty of other
Speaker 1: numbers available. It's got to be at least two seventy
Speaker 1: or over, so don't be confused. Six, one, seven, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty, six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty.
Speaker 1: Coming right back on night Side. It's Night Side with
Speaker 1: Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news radio, Kerry. We're doing
Speaker 1: a little predicting tonight. Tomorrow is election Eve. It is,
Speaker 1: uh the equivalent of Super Bowl for sports fans. Look,
Speaker 1: we is only an election eve once every four years,
Speaker 1: and give you an opportunity to tell us who he
Speaker 1: thinks going to win and what will their electoral vote
Speaker 1: count be. And we're going to give a prize to
Speaker 1: the winner of a new WBZ tote bag. We're going
Speaker 1: to make those available through our friends at College Hype,
Speaker 1: Jack Daugherty and the gang over at College Hype in Dorchester.
Speaker 1: Michael in Boston, Michael next to Nice.
Speaker 2: I welcome, Hi Dan, How are you doing great?
Speaker 1: Michael? Go ahead, He's going to win.
Speaker 2: I'm not really just maybe two minutes here. I'm not
Speaker 2: calling for the prize or to make that any predictions.
Speaker 2: But I had a question that's been bothering me for
Speaker 2: a long time over listening to your show as well
Speaker 2: as other shows, through many elections. But I'm just curious
Speaker 2: as it has never any indication from Dan Ray who
Speaker 2: he Now you say you voted early, Yes, if you
Speaker 2: can hang up on me or say it's none of
Speaker 2: your damn business or whatever, But who did Dan vote for?
Speaker 2: Why is it that you say some good things about
Speaker 2: Trump some bad things about Trump? Harris, I haven't heard
Speaker 2: too many good things. But if people criticize, you'll kind
Speaker 2: of turn it around in her favor. So you can't
Speaker 2: really figure out who Dan voted for. Even on the
Speaker 2: questions I voted yes, no, no, no, no, no, I
Speaker 2: don't know if yeah. Is it impossible to get an
Speaker 2: answer from you?
Speaker 3: If I asked you who you voted for?
Speaker 1: It is. I'll tell you why. First of all, I
Speaker 1: don't think my role is to try to influence people
Speaker 1: one way or the other. I can tell you that
Speaker 1: I often, and I have acknowledged often, that I have
Speaker 1: chosen not to vote an election. I will vote, I'll
Speaker 1: always vote, But if I look at two candidates and
Speaker 1: I can't support them. The idea of not voting for
Speaker 1: one of the candidates, or in many cases blanking a
Speaker 1: ballot when someone is unopposed, I don't like to see that,
Speaker 1: so I can I will go and cast my ballot,
Speaker 1: but oftentimes I will choose not to vote in terms
Speaker 1: of like the ballot. On the ballot questions, there is
Speaker 1: some that I have a strong feeling on. For example,
Speaker 1: I've made it pretty clear that I think that on
Speaker 1: the ballot question number one, auditing the legislature, I think
Speaker 1: that's something that needs to be done. I talked about
Speaker 1: the m CAST exam, and I think that I think
Speaker 1: that that m CAST requirements for graduation are important. But
Speaker 1: those are more policy questions. So if I'm less hesitant
Speaker 1: to talk about the I don't want to be in
Speaker 1: the position where I want to influence anyone's vote one
Speaker 1: way or the other. I mean, there might be people
Speaker 1: who liked me and might be influenced one way, and
Speaker 1: it might be people who don't like me and be
Speaker 1: influenced the other way. And I also try to oftentimes.
Speaker 1: I'm a lawyer by training, as you're probably knowing, also
Speaker 1: by practice, and I remember in law school the best
Speaker 1: part about law school was going into class being prepared
Speaker 1: for a case, thinking about the equities of the case
Speaker 1: were in favor of this side of the story, and
Speaker 1: then the law professor would often ask questions and tried
Speaker 1: to have you think a little bit deeper in it,
Speaker 1: and you come away with, well, maybe I was, Maybe
Speaker 1: I was evaluating that case incorrectly. So I will respectfully
Speaker 1: choose to tell you that I'm not going to disclose
Speaker 1: who I voted for, or if I voted, or if
Speaker 1: I voted for either one of the candidates. But I
Speaker 1: did cast a ballot, I did vote. I will be
Speaker 1: honest with you in some in many of the many
Speaker 1: of the races, but I'm just not going to disclose who.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're just to say you're. I listened to a
Speaker 2: lot of talk shows, all of them, a smattering of
Speaker 2: all of them, and I don't necessarily I don't really
Speaker 2: care for any of them, but I listened from time
Speaker 2: to time. But they're all very vocal about who they
Speaker 2: voted for, as was your Gary from Maine who substituted
Speaker 2: many times for you. He was also Gary I forget
Speaker 2: his last name, Dan.
Speaker 1: No, Gary Tangway, who I think he may be from Maine,
Speaker 1: but he's a he's a well known, you know, Boston
Speaker 1: broadcaster work that.
Speaker 2: You for who was very open. Well, he was very
Speaker 2: open every time. I was surprised. Uh So that's why
Speaker 2: I thought i'd ask.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you asked them, and I'm glad I
Speaker 1: know I didn't give you the answer you want, but
Speaker 1: I hope you understand why I gave you the answer.
Speaker 1: The other thing is that is that you've heard me
Speaker 1: say this often. I don't care what you think, meaning
Speaker 1: that's your prerogative. I just want to make sure that
Speaker 1: you're thinking, that's all. And I'm trying to stimulate people
Speaker 1: to think here because I think that we all do
Speaker 1: better if we think and we don't have sort of
Speaker 1: knee jerk reactions and also have the ability to change
Speaker 1: your mind on something, you know. I just think that
Speaker 1: that we all kind of get locked in. So I
Speaker 1: try to run a different type of talk show, and
Speaker 1: I've tried to remain true to what I believe since
Speaker 1: day one, and I think people's opinions are important. I'm
Speaker 1: not the star of this talk show. I mean, there
Speaker 1: have been other broadcasters I'm sure who would tell you
Speaker 1: that they're so smart, they have one tied behind their back,
Speaker 1: and they have a style. That's fine, but my style
Speaker 1: is different. I wanted to be more of a conversation
Speaker 1: between me and the callers.
Speaker 2: You okay, all right, Well I can't I can't predict
Speaker 2: electoral votes, but I can tell you I'm all. I
Speaker 2: was happy, uh for four years with Trump. I've been
Speaker 2: very unhappy UH under this administration, and I think that
Speaker 2: a vote for Harris would continue that unhappiness. It may
Speaker 2: be worse. I don't want to pay more taxes. I
Speaker 2: don't want uh taxes on unrealized gains. I don't want
Speaker 2: to pay reparations. I have no faith or confidence in
Speaker 2: her sitting around at a table with the world leaders,
Speaker 2: and I don't think she has.
Speaker 1: No How do you think is let me ask this?
Speaker 1: Who do you think is going to win? Is my question?
Speaker 3: Well, I know that's your question, and you don't have to.
Speaker 1: Answer that if you don't want to. But that's a fine.
Speaker 1: You know, I asked one you you told me you
Speaker 1: know whatever. That's if you don't want to.
Speaker 2: Think Trump to join to win? Yeh, what I think
Speaker 2: was going to Okay?
Speaker 1: Fine, but but you're not going to enter the contest
Speaker 1: and that's fine, no problem.
Speaker 2: No, you didn't get much shought of that, Dan, I
Speaker 2: can I know you don't allow callbacks. I can refigure
Speaker 2: that and call it.
Speaker 1: Let's take a guess. The only every number is available
Speaker 1: if you want to take a guess, and if not,
Speaker 1: that's I'll let you go.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I'm hoping that.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping it'll be way beyond the two seventy.
Speaker 1: Okay. I I can't give you the field you know
Speaker 1: it's like.
Speaker 2: But all right, all right, fair enough, thanks Michael, appreciation,
Speaker 2: Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate your explanation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep listening, keep listening. Okay. Well, and oh cal
Speaker 1: you made you made me think tonight, which is important. Okay.
Speaker 1: I need to be I need to be challenged too.
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, Okay, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Let me go to John and Boston. John here next night,
Speaker 1: sag ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how Dan?
Speaker 6: How everyone?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 6: Like you say, Dan, if you're on the wrong side
Speaker 6: of fifty, I remember the nineteen sixty, seventies and eighties,
Speaker 6: and mister Trump, I want to say, is a thief
Speaker 6: a plagiarizing thief? Because if you're not on the wrong
Speaker 6: side of fifty. You don't remember the mister Reagan presidential election.
Speaker 6: He stole make America Great Again for mister Reagan, and
Speaker 6: mister Reagan was still living. I don't think you'd get
Speaker 6: away with it. And he also said you better off
Speaker 6: now than you were four years ago. He stole that
Speaker 6: from mister Reagan also, So mister Trump is a plagiarizing thief.
Speaker 6: So I don't think that's you know, let's give credit
Speaker 6: where credit is due. And I had called last week
Speaker 6: and mentioning why mister Trump should be fired and not
Speaker 6: returned to office because under his administration, the federal budget
Speaker 6: that went up around seven trillion dollars. Now, if you
Speaker 6: were a board member or an investor in a company
Speaker 6: and the company budget that was sit around seven trill
Speaker 6: and you'd want that CEO fighted and people don't want
Speaker 6: to hear that. That's very important. But I'm not a
Speaker 6: big train to either one of them. If you remember
Speaker 6: libertarian talk show hosts, mister Jen Burns, he would see
Speaker 6: what we have now is tweelt d and tweedled dumb
Speaker 6: or tweelt d in tweedled dumber one or the other.
Speaker 1: Both, which He probably that from George if that's what
Speaker 1: Gen Burns had said, And I don't remember Jean Burns
Speaker 1: saying that, but he would have stole that from George
Speaker 1: Wallace because that was one of George Wallace's.
Speaker 6: He didn't mention it, though, Kay. And mister Trump such
Speaker 6: a wonderful businessman. We had Trump Airlines in Boston, but
Speaker 6: it didn't last well, only but three years. It went
Speaker 6: out of business. He's a wonderful businessman. His casinos went
Speaker 6: out of business. Trump University went out of business. So
Speaker 6: I don't think he should be back, you know, in
Speaker 6: office again, especially letting our federal budget depths. He caused
Speaker 6: the trade war with China, which is inflationary. He started
Speaker 6: it anyway. And if mister Trump, like he says he's
Speaker 6: gonna tax those Chinese goods, you're gonna see prices going up,
Speaker 6: which they already have. So those are some of the
Speaker 6: reasons why I don't think he should be back.
Speaker 1: I think if you're a Harris voter, who's going to
Speaker 1: win in your well, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't like either one room really and if you
Speaker 6: remember the nineteen eighties, remember that line, what does McDonald's
Speaker 6: in the white House both having common remember that one?
Speaker 3: Remember that I do not remember that one.
Speaker 6: Well, they have a clown named Ronald, except now in
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I don't think there is McDonald's in the White House.
Speaker 6: Haven't common I.
Speaker 1: Have a Donald Reagan. Do me a favor, that's.
Speaker 6: What That's who the line was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let me just tell you what. Ronald Reagan
Speaker 1: was no clown. He was the greatest president of the
Speaker 1: second half of the twentieth century in my humble opinion.
Speaker 3: Okay, without Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1: Was the Soviet Empire might still be in existence. He
Speaker 1: broke the back of the Soviet Empire.
Speaker 6: Mm hmm, well, that's what the line was. During the age,
Speaker 6: we have a clown.
Speaker 1: And have gone on along here. I've given you a
Speaker 1: lot of time to do your stick. Do you want
Speaker 1: to tell me who you who you think is gonna
Speaker 1: win and pick a number or we'll move on.
Speaker 6: Which I think it's gonna be. H Kennedy Harris by
Speaker 6: the skin of her teeth if she gets in, give
Speaker 6: me a number. I don't know very thin.
Speaker 3: I don't know the numbers, but I'm.
Speaker 1: Not eligible for the meaning. I appreciate your call.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know the numbers, right, I don't understand
Speaker 6: that the numbers.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Do you know the price that thanks every
Speaker 1: great night. We'll take a quick break here on Nightside.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: It's not a comedy show, folks. This is pretty serious
Speaker 1: business that we're that we're participating in. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty. You can denigrate just about anybody on this program,
Speaker 1: not Ronald Reagan. I interviewed him too many times, met
Speaker 1: him too many times, uh, and respect him too much.
Speaker 1: Back on Nightside right after.
Speaker 6: This, Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window
Speaker 6: World Nightside Studios.
Speaker 1: I'm WBZ News Radio. They're in the Window World Nightside Studios.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go next. We're gonna go down to the
Speaker 1: Cape and talk with Terry and Harwich. Terry, welcome back.
Speaker 6: How are you hi?
Speaker 4: Dan? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I think I'm doing okay so far, but it's early.
Speaker 4: Jerry, Well, I think I'm going to get a toad
Speaker 4: bag with this one.
Speaker 1: Dan, okay, God, And.
Speaker 4: I'm honored to be able to be the recipient. I
Speaker 4: believe the next president of the United States is going
Speaker 4: to be the first woman president of the United States
Speaker 4: of America and I believe she's going to have a
Speaker 4: victory unsurpassed by anyone. No one's going to be able
Speaker 4: to challenge this one in court. And you can write
Speaker 4: this down because I believe it, and I believe that
Speaker 4: her electoral well, this isn't the hard part actually, the
Speaker 4: electoral college. But I'm going with a hot number three.
Speaker 1: Two five, Okay, three five. That would be a big victory.
Speaker 1: Not the biggest victory, but it will be the big,
Speaker 1: big victory.
Speaker 4: That's right, That's right. But I think the I think
Speaker 4: the popular vote is going to be enormous, maybe even
Speaker 4: surpassing what Hillary did. And Hillary did a lot of
Speaker 4: a lot of numbers there, well, Idle.
Speaker 1: I think under she was a little under fifty percent.
Speaker 1: So you know, you've had presidential races where people were
Speaker 1: getting close to sixty percent. Linda Johnson and I think
Speaker 1: had sixty percent, Richard close to.
Speaker 4: I honestly believe that the vice president is going to
Speaker 4: be around fifty six fifty seven percent. It's going to
Speaker 4: be a statement.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we will see how that works out. And
Speaker 1: you got the number in terms of electric college of
Speaker 1: three twenty five, Terry, and we'll see, we'll see if
Speaker 1: if you you've won a prize before, well we'll see
Speaker 1: if you do a second one.
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you so much, dam Ham, A great night
Speaker 4: and good luckch tomorrow.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks very much.
Speaker 4: Ye bye.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna go next to oh wit, we lost
Speaker 1: a cup. We lost someone there. They'll line open a
Speaker 1: six one we just filled up. Let's keep going now.
Speaker 1: We got everybody kind of quickly. Here his Walter in
Speaker 1: peeby Walter, you've only waited eight minutes. Here, go right ahead.
Speaker 3: I know I lucked out, huh. I was like you did.
Speaker 1: You're a couple of people who dropped off.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, only one busy thing, no sub But you
Speaker 3: know the thing is, I mean I can't even imagine
Speaker 3: budding for either of these candidates. It's we can't do
Speaker 3: better than this. You know, it's unbelievable. And even the
Speaker 3: vice president's candidates are rafel you know, I think. But anyways,
Speaker 3: I think, who would you want.
Speaker 1: To ask you this? Who would you like to see
Speaker 1: as president?
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I thought Mitt Romney was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: He did, he did, but he never got to it.
Speaker 3: Like Charlie Baker would be agree kind of thing. He's
Speaker 3: kind of a neutral, you know, neutral kind of guy
Speaker 3: that would kind of work between the aisles. So I
Speaker 3: just think I think Trump is so divisive, and I
Speaker 3: think Kamala I like her, she's fantastic, but she's kind
Speaker 3: of clueless. I think I think it's the vice president
Speaker 3: she was non existent. And so when I vote tomorrow,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna vote for either either president or Canada candidate.
Speaker 3: But the thing, the thing that is more important to
Speaker 3: me is the ballot questions. And I would really like
Speaker 3: to see Elizabeth Warren get up. If it's a long shot,
Speaker 3: it never happened, but to me that that that's important too.
Speaker 1: Well, there you have it. Do you want to predict
Speaker 1: who's gonna.
Speaker 3: Win or yeah, well.
Speaker 1: Predict.
Speaker 3: I think Kamala is gonna win, and I think it's
Speaker 3: going to be close to what Biden did last time.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's going to take about four months to
Speaker 3: go through all of the lawsuits and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Hope not.
Speaker 3: I know, I I agree, but I just don't think
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen. I think the only swing state that
Speaker 3: Trump is going to get is Arizona. So I'm thinking
Speaker 3: to forty six.
Speaker 1: All right, Sure, we got shift down the numbers to
Speaker 1: ninety two, and if you're the closest, uh, you're gonna
Speaker 1: win a WB a night side tote bag.
Speaker 3: Okay, that would be pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: Thanks, Thanks, Walter, appreciate your call.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and keep up the good work. You have a
Speaker 3: fantastic show every night.
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that, I really do.
Speaker 3: All Right, take care here, thank you, good night, have.
Speaker 1: A great night. Where we're gonna go next, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to Joe and Lyn. Joe, you were next on Nightside.
Speaker 1: Want to take you?
Speaker 7: Yes, Dan, you told me to write my thing down
Speaker 7: to eighty five.
Speaker 5: Remember I said this a few months ago.
Speaker 7: I think Trump will win.
Speaker 5: I hope I win the tobag.
Speaker 2: We'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 1: They'll be to make sure I get you down Trump
Speaker 1: with two hundred and eighty five electro votes. I just
Speaker 1: want to make sure no one else has picked the
Speaker 1: game the same number you can. But you'll find that
Speaker 1: that's an that is an unpredicted number. At this point,
Speaker 1: you got it, you own.
Speaker 5: It, Okay, all right, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: All Right, Joe, talk to you soon. Be well. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Let's keep rolling here. They'll move a little bit more quickly.
Speaker 1: Let me go next to Tom and Dorchester. Tom, I know, thanks,
Speaker 1: it's going to be Trump. Tom, welcome back. How are you?
Speaker 7: Jan?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 7: Jan? Trump has to win. He's one of the greatest pleasures.
Speaker 3: In his country.
Speaker 7: I know you like Reagan. I love Reagan, and uh
Speaker 7: I to George Washington was my favorite president.
Speaker 1: You didn't vote for him, did you, Tom?
Speaker 3: I don't right, No, I don't think so.
Speaker 7: But yeah, uh, as far as that goes to me, Now,
Speaker 7: the number number one president in the history is Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 7: He's the best president we ever had. I'll tell you something.
Speaker 7: If we get Tom I Harris, if he wins, the
Speaker 7: United States of America is over. This copy is gone.
Speaker 1: Well, let us hope whoever wins the the country survives
Speaker 1: and prospers. I mean no, let's so, you think it's
Speaker 1: gonna I know, you think it's going to be Trump.
Speaker 1: How many electoral votes do you think? I'm basically trying
Speaker 1: to back off the campaign speeches tonight. So tell me
Speaker 1: how many votes electoral votes you think he will secure.
Speaker 3: I think he'll get three h four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's that's the number that hasn't been taken yet.
Speaker 1: That's that's still a fairly close. That's a pretty close race.
Speaker 1: That's not a that's not a blowout.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not because this is you know, we don't
Speaker 7: have the shop a tax in the world in this country.
Speaker 7: I told you before and then when I called you,
Speaker 7: I said, there's more communists in this country than there
Speaker 7: are in Russia and China combined.
Speaker 1: I told you, get wrong on that, but that's that's
Speaker 1: your opinion.
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: There's about two billion people in China, so that's we
Speaker 1: have three hundred millions. So many communists we got in
Speaker 1: this country, by the way, just.
Speaker 7: We've got millions of kids, most millions, most Yes, we
Speaker 7: have millions of communists in this country. Now China the
Speaker 7: only communists of the polpri all the people, the people
Speaker 7: that they're just slaves. And in Russia there's no communists
Speaker 7: in Russia anymore. Pultan is a Christian, that's a Christian nation. Now,
Speaker 7: I'm telling you Donald Trump has to win one.
Speaker 1: You can talk to the people in prison over there.
Speaker 1: Some of them would probably disagree strongly with you. Tom.
Speaker 1: I gotta keep rolling.

Speaker 1: chance to tell us who you think is gonna win.
