WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:07.759 It's Nights with Dan Ray on Boston. By the way, 2 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:10.519 I just did a little Google search on Joe Rogan, 3 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:16.160 and you know, I don't know everything, so I was 4 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:21.760 interested to find out. This guy is fifty seven years 5 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:30.000 of age. He was born in Newark, but eventually he 6 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.799 moved around with his mom to get his mom and 7 00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:39.479 dad divorced. He settled in Newton, Upper Falls, Massachusetts. Graduated 8 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:44.000 from Newton South High School in nineteen eighty five, which 9 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.840 is kind of interesting. He took up karate and things 10 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:54.840 like that, and he was a taekwondo instructor, so you know. 11 00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.719 He he attended UMass Boston, but he found the endeavor 12 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.799 pointless and dropped out early. So yeah, very interesting. His 13 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.680 stand up comic and all of that. And he's got 14 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:14.959 this very successful podcast. I guess he's a UFC commentator 15 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:22.959 and very successful. I guess he does comedy shows and 16 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.560 it has a big, big podcast, which is great. Now, 17 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.840 apparently he claimed that his interview with President Trump was suppressed. 18 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:41.680 But according to Forbes magazine Forbes you know Forbes website, 19 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.319 they say that Brogan said his interview with former President 20 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.040 Donald Trump faced an issue that prevented it from surfacing 21 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.239 on YouTube search function, a problem that Google reportedly said 22 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.239 it had addressed, and now brogan challenges that without any 23 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.239 evidence that the video sharing site intentionally suppressed the interview. 24 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.120 So whatever. So here's a guy not formally educated, but 25 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:17.759 obviously he has a big podcast following. Interesting, just interesting. 26 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.919 We will will move past that. As they say, I 27 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.039 tend not to try to publicize competitors, which is fine. 28 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.800 But he was brought up and I didn't realize that 29 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.479 he had a Massachusetts connection. Isn't that interesting? Always always 30 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.120 comes back to Massachusetts. Okay, here's what I want to do. 31 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.680 The big event tomorrow is the election, and this country 32 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.639 was either going to re elect Donald Trump as the 33 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.800 forty seventh president or they will elect the current sitting 34 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:58.479 vice president as the forty seventh president, Vice President Harris. 35 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.680 I think all of us know the storyline that Donald 36 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:10.080 Trump has been in search of this position ever since 37 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:16.919 he was defeated in November of twenty twenty. I think 38 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.639 that there's probably no politician in America that people know 39 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.840 more about than Donald Trump. And tomorrow, either he will 40 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:36.319 be elected forty seventh president or he will be rejected 41 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:42.280 for a second time. I myself am pretty surprised that 42 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.280 after all of that he's been through, that he is 43 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:49.599 this close to the presidency, and I think it's a 44 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.719 coin flip. I was hoping for a decisive victory for 45 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.759 either candidate, because I think that we as a country 46 00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.360 deserve an election that is decisive. But it would appear 47 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.759 from all the polls, even as late as tonight, that 48 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.759 that is not likely to happen. They're suggesting that it 49 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.479 could be two or three days before we finally know 50 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:17.160 who the next president will be. That's the reality in 51 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.560 which we live. We will follow the controversy on Night's 52 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.399 side to whatever extent that controversy rears an ugly head. 53 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.240 It would be great to think that both former President 54 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.079 Trump and Vice President Harris would both look at the 55 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.959 situation and when it becomes apparent one is one, one 56 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.480 is lost, as inevitably it will occur that we could 57 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:45.199 wrap this election a little bit more quickly and more 58 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.439 easily than we did in twenty twenty. I don't know 59 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.079 what the future holds, but what I want to do 60 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.240 tonight is this. I want to give you an opportunity 61 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.560 to call in, tell me who you think is going 62 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.800 to win, and pick a number, how many electoral votes 63 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:04.000 will your can they receive? We now again, electrical votes 64 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:09.759 sometimes slide, But basically, when the final decision is announced, 65 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.480 I'd like to if one of you and I'm going 66 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.319 to try to make sure that people don't pick the 67 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.120 same now, but you have to pick the winning candidate, 68 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.680 whether you support the vice president or if this has 69 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:23.959 got nothing to do with support, it's who do you 70 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.560 think is going to win? And as a prize, we 71 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:35.120 are about to receive some Knight Side tote bags. I've 72 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.160 not mentioned this on the show before. Knightside tote Bags, 73 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:44.199 which will be produced by our friends at College Hype, 74 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.759 Jack Dougherty and Kathleen Hickey and Joe Foley and everybody 75 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:56.720 over at at Dorchester at College Hype. They have been 76 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:01.319 so supportive of the program over the years and they 77 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.480 have pledged. Last month we gave away a lot of 78 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.240 breast cancer in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we 79 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.600 gave away breast cancer t shirts. And this will be 80 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.879 the first night Side tote bag. Gonna be black and white, 81 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:22.560 black tote bag with white lettering. And what you have 82 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.120 to do is tell me in the next two hours 83 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.319 who will win Tomorrow Night and a prediction of the 84 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.120 number of electoral votes. So if you call and you 85 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.079 tell me so and so is going to win, you 86 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.040 got to be right on the number in terms of 87 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.879 who wins. Right on the who wins number one, you 88 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.279 can get the electoral college number correct. But if you 89 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.759 don't pick the right winner, then you don't win. So 90 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.079 you got to pick the right winner, and you got 91 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.120 to pick the right or as close to the number 92 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.560 of electoral votes. And if there's a tie, if let 93 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:59.720 us say hypothetically the winning number is of electoral votes 94 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.759 is two eighty three, and I have some person at 95 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.920 two eighty two, and someone at two eighty four will 96 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.120 give away two bags, but uh, that will be it. Okay, 97 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.399 I'm hoping that someone will pick the number exactly. So 98 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.959 I'm gonna open up the phone lines six one, seven, two, five, four, 99 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.639 ten thirty. Those lines are already full. Six one, seven, nine, three, one, 100 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:24.480 ten thirty. We will keep a record of this. Rob 101 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.079 is not gonna have I will keep the record for you, Rob, 102 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.600 of the the person who wins. We will know the 103 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:33.800 voice of the person that wins. We will know when 104 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.360 they called, and then tomorrow night or maybe Wednesday, not 105 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.240 Tomorrow night, Wednesday or Thursday night, whenever there is now 106 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:50.040 you can have what's called unfaithful electors, and that happens periodically. 107 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.519 So sometimes when there's a presidential candidate who wins, pick 108 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.839 a number, you know, two hundred and eighty two hundred 109 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:02.600 and ninety three hundred, three hundred twenty electoral votes. Sometimes 110 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:08.480 when the votes are tabulated in Washington on about that 111 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.160 first week in January, they can be an elector who's 112 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.000 got's called an unfaithful elector, and that means that the elector, 113 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.279 even though they were pledged to vote for candidate X, 114 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.319 they either vote for candidate Y or they vote for 115 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.959 someone who you've never heard of. But the number that 116 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:34.039 we will settle upon is whatever the number of electoral 117 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:39.480 votes are that are one and secured and announced whenever 118 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:47.159 the presidential the president elect is declared. Okay, so as 119 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.799 long as we know the rules, we'll we only have 120 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.799 one line open at six, one, seven, nine, uh, and 121 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.279 you will have bragging rights if you win, uh, and 122 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.639 you'll win a lovely tote bag. So with that, we're 123 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.720 going to take a break. Be right back on Night's 124 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.799 side as we talk about what's going to happen in 125 00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:11.080 the next twenty four hours. We know the polls will 126 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.720 be closing all across the country. Many of the polls 127 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.440 in the East and the Central States will be closed 128 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.519 twenty four hours from now. I mean, I remember when 129 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.559 this was starting. Remember last winter or a year, a 130 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.320 couple of years ago, when they had a couple of 131 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.840 those those beauty pageants as they're called political where the 132 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.759 candidates go out to Iowa and they go to the 133 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:36.279 Iowa State Fair and they have all sorts of you know, 134 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.919 activities out there, and oh, Senator so and so showed up, 135 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.600 our Governor so and show showed up. And then they 136 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.440 finally get into the Iowa caucus and how critical that 137 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.919 is and who wins and by how much? And then 138 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.840 the New Hampshire primary and all of those fights, and 139 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.879 then finally you have two nominees who emerge, Donald Trump 140 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:59.000 and Joe Biden. And then there's a debate in late 141 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:03.360 June in which Joe Biden doesn't do well, and within 142 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.759 about a month Joe Biden says, I'm not running for president, 143 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.480 even though he had said he would stay in the 144 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.440 race no matter what. You have two assassination attempts. This 145 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.519 has been an amazing election so far, only one presidential debate, 146 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:25.480 one presidential debate between the nominees of the party Harris 147 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:29.720 and Trump, and one vice presidential debate. That's it. This 148 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.960 has been an extraordinary year. It's one of those years 149 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.159 that you can tell your grandchildren about that you that 150 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.240 you lived through this year. Let's hope the country survives. 151 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.600 Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, 152 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.240 ten thirty Back on Night's Side right after. 153 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:51.720 This, Now back to Dan Ray Mine from the Window World. 154 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.759 Night Side Studios on w b Z News Radio. 155 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.200 All right, let us go. We're gonna go to Paul 156 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.200 in Wakefield. Paul, you're gonna start us off tonight here 157 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.879 in the ten o'clock hour. How are you, Paul? 158 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:03.840 Good? 159 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.519 Dan, Good, evening, Jim. I think it's gonna be the 160 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.840 it's going to be the sisive win by Harris. I 161 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.679 really think in Middle America women are going to come 162 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.679 out in droves and there'll be a majority of silent 163 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.919 Republicans who will vote for her just because they're anti Trump. 164 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.320 Mm hmm. Okay, So you know what sort of a 165 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.399 number do you think she'll get. I'm not gonna rush 166 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.279 you just curious how much. 167 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.519 I'm gonna go with three thirteen? 168 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:38.159 Okay, that's that's that would be a very decisive win. 169 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.440 How do you think it not that? That's what I 170 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:44.120 got you down for three thirteen. How do you think 171 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.840 it will come out in terms of the popular vote? 172 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.799 I think she's also gonna win substantially there too. 173 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.919 Yeah, well, I don't if she. If she wins substantially 174 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:02.320 in the popular vote, three thirteen would be certainly well 175 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:02.879 within reach. 176 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.679 Well, I think it's it's I like to have a thirteen. 177 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.159 That's a favorite number of mind. I think it's going 178 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.639 to be higher than that, but I don't want to guess. 179 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.480 I think in the seven states that you know, everybody's 180 00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.960 questioning going to say, yes, I think she's gonna win 181 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.360 substantially in five of them. I really do. I think 182 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.519 women are going to come out in droves, all right, 183 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:25.639 And I think that. 184 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.559 I it's it's interesting do you think that, Uh we 185 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:31.480 talked about this a little bit the other night. How 186 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.360 much of a mistake do you think it was or 187 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:37.200 it has been. I can't say it was because obviously 188 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.879 the votes haven't been counted yet. But do you think 189 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:44.279 Donald Trump would have benefited. Nikki Haley said she was 190 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.639 willing to campaign alongside him, to be at events with him, 191 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.120 and I think that Trump has ignored her. 192 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.039 How I think. I think the form of hugeon was sake. 193 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.080 I think the former president has put his foot in 194 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.159 his mouth too many times. Way he talks about loving 195 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:04.720 women in his recent Carmen saying that you know he's 196 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.559 going to help women even if they don't want it. 197 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:14.480 In his carments concerning Cheney in front of a firing squad, yeah, 198 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:15.000 I don't. 199 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:18.120 Think he I think that's an unfair characterization, to be 200 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.919 honest with you, I think what he was trying to 201 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:25.120 say was that Cheney, if you remember her father never 202 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.840 served in the military. 203 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:29.519 And a lot of neither did the former president though 204 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.440 when he had five deferments, so in an area, I 205 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.000 don't think he should have ventured. 206 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.440 Agree with you, No, I agree with you, But I 207 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:40.320 think what he was saying was not in fairness, and 208 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.039 you got to be fair here. I don't think he 209 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:43.519 was saying she's going to be in front of a 210 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.399 firing squad, because people who are in front of a 211 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.720 firing squad generally don't have a weapon in their own hand. 212 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.799 They generally have blindfolded and with their hands diyed behind 213 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.799 their back. I think what he was saying was that 214 00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.679 maybe that she and others in Washington, he's trying to 215 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:06.440 present himself as the anti war candidate, which is sort 216 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:11.759 of an interesting situation because Democratic Party traditionally, during our lifetimes, 217 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:15.600 least mine Democratic Party has been much more considered an 218 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.559 anti war candidate, and it was always the neo conservatives, 219 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.080 of whom Dick Cheney was was was one of the 220 00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.200 leaders of the neo Conservatives. He was trying to make 221 00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.679 that point, then it's easy to sit in Washington and 222 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:32.080 vote for American involvement militarily in situations. 223 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.320 Right on the front. 224 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.919 You don't have no skin in the game. He could 225 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.399 have articulated it much more effectively, obviously, But I think 226 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.360 it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that he 227 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:45.799 was saying that she should be in front of a 228 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.399 firing squad. I mean, I think he's you know, awkward. 229 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:51.679 He could have been. He could have just been much. 230 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.200 He could have agreed, he could have positioned it, he 231 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.840 could have said it better. But I think what people 232 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.120 heard is her would have gotten and you know, I 233 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.919 don't remember the number he said. 234 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:09.000 But but but again, you know that's a situation that 235 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.759 that would be some you know, if you're in front 236 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.879 of a firing squad, I mean, you don't have a 237 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.399 gun in your hand. Let's be real. 238 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:19.000 No, but he a comment that he wants to help women, 239 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:21.320 that he's going to be the best thing for women, 240 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:22.320 and why would he want. 241 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.759 To help Liz Cheney? Then you know he would have 242 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:26.159 been off to say nothing. 243 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.360 Well he was attempting to do in terms of his 244 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.639 comment about helping women was he was trying to link 245 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.960 that to increase in crime and uh, people coming across 246 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.879 the border who commit crime, who are who are unvet on, 247 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.200 you know, unfettered. Uh and uh, yeah, I mean that's 248 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.320 what I think he was trying to make. That point. 249 00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:51.559 Didn't make it particularly well, okay, but that's what that's 250 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.480 what he was. That was what he was trying to say. Okay, 251 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.919 and again, yeah, go ahead. 252 00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.840 When you listen to the President and some of the speeches, 253 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.039 he knows a lot of men in power for positions CEOs. 254 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.159 You never heard him say I'm friends with or I 255 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:13.519 know women who are impowerful and important positions. I really 256 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:16.159 think he doesn't like women in my own personal opinion. 257 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:20.399 But the smart women who surrounded him. I mean, he 258 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.360 had a lot of women. 259 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.360 I don't understand that. No, he does, I hear you, 260 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.200 but that it is women who travel across the country 261 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.440 to be with them. It's my understanding that he helps 262 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.919 stay for their transportation class. I don't know that's true enough, 263 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.480 but I've heard that. 264 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:35.120 Who are you talking about? 265 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.720 There are a group of women that who always behind 266 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:39.240 him at a lot. 267 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:39.879 Of his rallies. 268 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:42.679 And he's made a couple of comments how he has 269 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:49.679 he has huge rallies. And again, don't undercut your your 270 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.720 ability to criticize him by by saying that he's paying 271 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.360 people to travel around the country. 272 00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.120 No, just these group of women and I you see. 273 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.279 People behind him. It's always It's not like it's the 274 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.960 same group of people. Does he for example, maybe like 275 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.880 the grateful dead head people who were groupies and who 276 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.200 who try to go to different rallies. Yeah, but come on, 277 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.519 I mean, let's you know, there's a lot, there's a 278 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.680 lot to criticize here. It's a target rich environment. Don't 279 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.000 undercut your your legitimate criticism. 280 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.039 So I'll be. 281 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.519 Honest, I really don't watch or Pidmu's attention to the 282 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.680 form of president because I'm not in favor of them, 283 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.319 so but I want to hear what he has to say. 284 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.920 I think it's a what everybody has to say, particularly 285 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:35.640 people that you don't like. To be honest with this, 286 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:39.519 criticize them critically. Okay, all right, Paul, giving you a 287 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.160 lot of time here. I want to wanted to start. 288 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.440 Off tomorrow, but I don't think we're going for Friday 289 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.039 morning either. 290 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.359 Good luck to good luck to everybody to all. Let's 291 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.640 hope tomorrow goes without any sort of ugly incident anywhere 292 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:53.200 in the county. 293 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.599 I pray that nothing happens. Thank you very much. 294 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.480 We take a quick break here at the bottom of 295 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:01.680 the hour. We have the newscast coming up.

And we're going to give a prize to 317 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.960 the winner of a new WBZ tote bag.

Go ahead, He's going to win. 323 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.759 I'm not really just maybe two minutes here. I'm not 324 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.839 calling for the prize or to make that any predictions. 325 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.880 But I had a question that's been bothering me for 326 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:43.519 a long time over listening to your show as well 327 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:48.880 as other shows, through many elections. But I'm just curious 328 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:56.559 as it has never any indication from Dan Ray who 329 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.640 he Now you say you voted early, Yes, if you 330 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.519 can hang up on me or say it's none of 331 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:08.119 your damn business or whatever, But who did Dan vote for? 332 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:12.359 Why is it that you say some good things about 333 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.880 Trump some bad things about Trump? Harris, I haven't heard 334 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.920 too many good things. But if people criticize, you'll kind 335 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.640 of turn it around in her favor. So you can't 336 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:29.039 really figure out who Dan voted for. Even on the 337 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:34.759 questions I voted yes, no, no, no, no, no, I 338 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.400 don't know if yeah. Is it impossible to get an 339 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:39.119 answer from you? 340 00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:41.200 If I asked you who you voted for? 341 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:44.680 It is. I'll tell you why. First of all, I 342 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.359 don't think my role is to try to influence people 343 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.559 one way or the other. I can tell you that 344 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:58.200 I often, and I have acknowledged often, that I have 345 00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:01.759 chosen not to vote an election. I will vote, I'll 346 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:04.839 always vote, But if I look at two candidates and 347 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:10.039 I can't support them. The idea of not voting for 348 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.160 one of the candidates, or in many cases blanking a 349 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:17.039 ballot when someone is unopposed, I don't like to see that, 350 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:19.880 so I can I will go and cast my ballot, 351 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:22.960 but oftentimes I will choose not to vote in terms 352 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:25.480 of like the ballot. On the ballot questions, there is 353 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.920 some that I have a strong feeling on. For example, 354 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:31.839 I've made it pretty clear that I think that on 355 00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:38.319 the ballot question number one, auditing the legislature, I think 356 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:42.799 that's something that needs to be done. I talked about 357 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.440 the m CAST exam, and I think that I think 358 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:54.720 that that m CAST requirements for graduation are important. But 359 00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:59.279 those are more policy questions. So if I'm less hesitant 360 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:01.160 to talk about the I don't want to be in 361 00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:03.839 the position where I want to influence anyone's vote one 362 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.759 way or the other. I mean, there might be people 363 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:08.799 who liked me and might be influenced one way, and 364 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.400 it might be people who don't like me and be 365 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.519 influenced the other way. And I also try to oftentimes. 366 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.039 I'm a lawyer by training, as you're probably knowing, also 367 00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.359 by practice, and I remember in law school the best 368 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.319 part about law school was going into class being prepared 369 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:27.240 for a case, thinking about the equities of the case 370 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:32.759 were in favor of this side of the story, and 371 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.160 then the law professor would often ask questions and tried 372 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.119 to have you think a little bit deeper in it, 373 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.599 and you come away with, well, maybe I was, Maybe 374 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.240 I was evaluating that case incorrectly. So I will respectfully 375 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:47.480 choose to tell you that I'm not going to disclose 376 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:51.519 who I voted for, or if I voted, or if 377 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.000 I voted for either one of the candidates. But I 378 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:58.880 did cast a ballot, I did vote. I will be 379 00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.920 honest with you in some in many of the many 380 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:06.640 of the races, but I'm just not going to disclose who. 381 00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.519 Okay, you're just to say you're. I listened to a 382 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.400 lot of talk shows, all of them, a smattering of 383 00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.720 all of them, and I don't necessarily I don't really 384 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:20.440 care for any of them, but I listened from time 385 00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:24.799 to time. But they're all very vocal about who they 386 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:30.640 voted for, as was your Gary from Maine who substituted 387 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.440 many times for you. He was also Gary I forget 388 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.440 his last name, Dan. 389 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:39.559 No, Gary Tangway, who I think he may be from Maine, 390 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.759 but he's a he's a well known, you know, Boston 391 00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:43.880 broadcaster work that. 392 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:47.160 You for who was very open. Well, he was very 393 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:51.799 open every time. I was surprised. Uh So that's why 394 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.799 I thought i'd ask. 395 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:55.480 So I'm glad you asked them, and I'm glad I 396 00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.319 know I didn't give you the answer you want, but 397 00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.319 I hope you understand why I gave you the answer. 398 00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.240 The other thing is that is that you've heard me 399 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:08.279 say this often. I don't care what you think, meaning 400 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.559 that's your prerogative. I just want to make sure that 401 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.720
