Speaker 1: It's night. I'm telling you, well, if you listen to
Speaker 1: any news today, you heard speculation and I guess suggestion
Speaker 1: that something big is going to happen on Friday. And
Speaker 1: let me tell you what it's supposed to be, and
Speaker 1: let me tell you why I think it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior has apparently decided that he is
Speaker 1: going to leave the presidential race. We have some sound
Speaker 1: which I want to play with you, which I think
Speaker 1: will help explain this. The networks are speculating at this
Speaker 1: point that he will not only leave the presidential race
Speaker 1: on Friday, the day after the Democratic Convention, but he
Speaker 1: will endorse Donald Trump. If that happens, that is once
Speaker 1: again going to share acup the race. Donald Trump, following
Speaker 1: the Biden debate in late June, had three weeks of
Speaker 1: really positive media and then of course, there came the
Speaker 1: assassination attempt. Believe it was on July thirteenth that gave
Speaker 1: him more support and in sympathy, and there was a feeling,
Speaker 1: although it did not really last, that he was going
Speaker 1: to sort of change his attitude towards some personality and
Speaker 1: all of that, and the Republicans had the their convention.
Speaker 1: But then Joe Biden decided he'd had enough or he
Speaker 1: listened to the advice of Nancy Pelosi, George Clooney, properly
Speaker 1: Bill and Hillary Clinton, and certainly Barack and Michelle Obama,
Speaker 1: and finally, after saying that only if God Almighty came
Speaker 1: along would he leave, and he left. He left on
Speaker 1: a Sunday. I guess was think it was July twenty first,
Speaker 1: whatever the dates were. And then the question was who's
Speaker 1: going to be the nominee? And obviously the Democratic leadership
Speaker 1: focused on the vice president, Vice President Harris and she
Speaker 1: now tomorrow night will give her acceptance speech. She has
Speaker 1: been nominated by the Democrats to run against Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Yesterday there was an interview on a podcast by Nicole Shanahan.
Speaker 1: She's Robert F. Kennedy Junior's running mate. She's running for
Speaker 1: vice president. And she was on a podcast called Impact Theory.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how to pronounce the individual's name,
Speaker 1: but I want to give him credit. Tom will you?
Speaker 1: And this is first of all, we're going to go
Speaker 1: with cut eighteen in the first indication that something was afoot.
Speaker 1: This was yesterday Nicole Shanahan cut eighteen.
Speaker 2: Rob, you know, there's two options that we're looking at,
Speaker 2: and one is staying in forming that new party. But
Speaker 2: we run the risk of a Kamala Harris, Kamala Harrison
Speaker 2: and Walt's presidency because we draw votes from Trump, or
Speaker 2: we draw somehow more votes from Trump, or we walk
Speaker 2: away right now and join forces with Donald Trump. And
Speaker 2: you know, we walk away from that, and we explain
Speaker 2: to our base why we're making this decision.
Speaker 1: Now. Shanahan is a Silicon Valley multi millionaire and she
Speaker 1: has spent millions of dollars on the Robert F. Kennedy
Speaker 1: junior presidential campaign. I have one other SoundBite from Nicole Shanahan.
Speaker 1: You may not know her, but it was she was
Speaker 1: is Robin F. Kennedy's running mate, and she gets pretty specific,
Speaker 1: pretty specific in this sound bite. This has cut twenty
Speaker 1: two c Rob, twenty two six.
Speaker 2: We did not start this campaign. I did not put
Speaker 2: in tens of millions of dollars to be a spoiler candidate.
Speaker 2: I put in tens of million dollars to win, to
Speaker 2: fix this country, to do the right thing. I will
Speaker 2: say that clear choice. This pack, this DNC aligned pack
Speaker 2: that was created specifically to take us out. Has spent
Speaker 2: millions of dollars to take us out. They have unfortunately
Speaker 2: turned us into a spoiler. And we don't want to
Speaker 2: be a spoiler. We wanted to win. We wanted a
Speaker 2: fair shot. The dance made that impossible for us. They
Speaker 2: have banda shadow bands, kept us off stages, manipulated polls,
Speaker 2: use law fair against us, suit us in every possible state.
Speaker 2: They've even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it
Speaker 2: and to create actual legal issues for us. I mean
Speaker 2: the extent by which the sabotage they've unleashed upon us,
Speaker 2: it's mind blowing. I mean, we're still learning new ways
Speaker 2: that they have sabotaged us.
Speaker 1: This is all directed at the DNC, and initially at
Speaker 1: the Biden campaign, and now at the harris campaign. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: this this cut is from Bobby Kennedy yesterday. Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy drew yesterday. He was at a courthouse slated to
Speaker 1: testify in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which is as you know, the
Speaker 1: state capital of Pennsylvania. And he he basically was late
Speaker 1: for hearing because he had a problem with planes and
Speaker 1: weather and all of that, and he was very upset
Speaker 1: that the judge apparently said, because you're late, we're not
Speaker 1: going to take your testimony, and they had some other
Speaker 1: person who they wanted to testify. So these people really
Speaker 1: feel like they have been taken advantage of. Now again,
Speaker 1: this is the party that talks about democracy, the Democratic
Speaker 1: Party about saving democracy. They're saving democracy, but they're saving
Speaker 1: it in a very peculiar way by keeping people and well,
Speaker 1: you've heard what Shanahan said. This is what Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior said yesterday. So this is the mindset of
Speaker 1: Shanahan and Kennedy this week in advance of what he's
Speaker 1: going to say in an event in Phoenix on Friday night.
Speaker 1: This is cut number twenty four. Please rob Hey, everybody.
Speaker 3: I'm at the State Courthouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania this morning.
Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be at a meeting with community leaders
Speaker 3: on this outside of Chicago today talking about criminal justice reform.
Speaker 3: That I had to come here because the Democratic Party
Speaker 3: is suing me in Pennsylvania. And by the way, tomorrow
Speaker 3: I'm going to Minneola, Long Island because they're suing me
Speaker 3: there too. They're suing me all over the country. It's
Speaker 3: right to keep me off the ballot. Unfortunately in some
Speaker 3: of these states were running into judges who are highly
Speaker 3: politicized and are very very sympathetic, let me put it
Speaker 3: that way to the DNCA.
Speaker 1: So that is the stage center tonight, it's Wednesday night. Tonight,
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton and Tim Walls, the Democratic nominee for Vice president,
Speaker 1: will speak, amongst others. Tomorrow night it will be Vice
Speaker 1: President Harris's night to speak. And then on Friday night,
Speaker 1: Friday night, apparently nine o'clock East Coast time, I believe
Speaker 1: it's I'm a little unclear of the time, Bob Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy is going to make a speech. And it is
Speaker 1: pretty obvious to me that he is really, really, really
Speaker 1: feels burned. His polls at one point are up around
Speaker 1: fifteen percent. His polls now are down around four or
Speaker 1: five percent. And my question to you is is this
Speaker 1: a game changer in a race as close as this
Speaker 1: one appears to be. And again, remember it's not a
Speaker 1: popular it's a popular vote fifty races and electoral college.
Speaker 1: All electoral college votes are up for grabs. And I
Speaker 1: think every one of my audience understands that. But this
Speaker 1: is stunning, in my opinion, if there has been an
Speaker 1: agreement reached between the Trump campaign and Robert F. Kennedy Junior.
Speaker 1: He's not going to do it, I'm sure without some
Speaker 1: form of a quid pro quo. I mean, he's going
Speaker 1: to want some sort of a role, and I suspect
Speaker 1: that the Trump campaign is probably prepared to give him
Speaker 1: that role, because at this point it's clear that the
Speaker 1: tactics used by the Democratic National Committee to keep him
Speaker 1: off the ballot in as many states as possible and
Speaker 1: to deny him Secret Service protection throughout the campaign until
Speaker 1: the very weekend that an attempt was made in the
Speaker 1: life of Donald Trump. I sent a pretty clear message
Speaker 1: to Bobby Kennedy that the Democrats, the people who are
Speaker 1: now running the Democratic Party, whether it's the Nancy Pelosis
Speaker 1: or the Chuck Schumers of the world or others, they
Speaker 1: play hardball. And it's pretty clear to me that what
Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior is going to do on Friday
Speaker 1: Night is something none of us, none of us could
Speaker 1: have anticipated a few weeks ago or a few months ago.
Speaker 1: I want to know how important is this to you?
Speaker 1: If you're a Kennedy voter, are you prepared now to
Speaker 1: vote for Donald Trump, or will you stay home or
Speaker 1: will you turn around and vote for the vice president?
Speaker 1: Here are the numbers. I can't imagine that there aren't
Speaker 1: a lot of people reaching for the phone, So get
Speaker 1: to the phones quickly. I'd like to do two hours
Speaker 1: on this, and I'd like to get a good sense
Speaker 1: of where my audience stands, because this is this is
Speaker 1: another shockwave. If the debate was shockwave one in Biden's resignation,
Speaker 1: President Biden's decision to leave the race with shock wave
Speaker 1: number two. If what we think Bobby Kennedy's going to
Speaker 1: do on Friday night, it will be shockwave three. And
Speaker 1: we haven't even hit Labor Day six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty six one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty
Speaker 1: Back on Nightside after this.
Speaker 4: Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Speaker 4: night sid STOs on w b Z to news radio.
Speaker 1: All right, we're just going to open it up here.
Speaker 1: I'd love to know what my political analyst and my
Speaker 1: audience think about this. Some of you might doubt it
Speaker 1: and think this is not gonna happen. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let me see what Luciano in Pennsylvania has to say.
Speaker 1: Luciano next on nightside.
Speaker 5: Go right ahead, sirp man, thank you for taking my car. Yes,
Speaker 5: that's a Republican. Yes, Donald Trump never punched, never punched
Speaker 5: Bobby Kennedy and the Biden administration hesterch magically and consciously
Speaker 5: kept Kennedy out of having any chance of meeting the
Speaker 5: Democratic Party. So yes, I hope and pray that he
Speaker 5: goes to I'm voting for I'm voting for uh Donald Trump,
Speaker 5: but he I'm holding my nose. I wanted Nikki Hally
Speaker 5: to win. But yes, he should, he should support Donald
Speaker 5: Trump because he wasn't He wasn't pumped in the face
Speaker 5: or kicked in the face by Donald Trump. That Biden consciously,
Speaker 5: they're they're they're notorious, Dan, And I hope and pray
Speaker 5: that he does. Because also the lady knows that Donald
Speaker 5: Trump's not anti anti business. The Harris administration is anti
Speaker 5: big business.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll have to see. I think there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of issues discussed in the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: I know that's what my intention is. I want to
Speaker 1: stay away from the personalities. I don't think Trump helps
Speaker 1: himself when he gets into these these these rants or
Speaker 1: these riffs where he goes after people, on their person,
Speaker 1: on their looks, on their on their background. It's just
Speaker 1: is so kind of productive. At some point, I've actually
Speaker 1: thought that maybe Donald Trump doesn't want to win this presidency.
Speaker 1: I prefer to be a martyr, you know, a political
Speaker 1: martyr of some sort. I don't know.
Speaker 6: I agree Dan with you.
Speaker 5: He needs a muzzle on his mouth. Donald Trump needs
Speaker 5: a muzzle. Absolutely, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Dan is always going to care to hear your voice.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, great night, Thank you, you too,
Speaker 1: about you to let me go next to Bill and Danvers. Bill,
Speaker 1: you were next on n taker.
Speaker 7: Right ahead here stand there's a lot to unpack here.
Speaker 7: But hey, what a shock. Judges at certain places they're
Speaker 7: not being blind as Fier's justice on the you know,
Speaker 7: they're putting a hand on the scale where we've seen
Speaker 7: this lately, and a lot of jurisdiction.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I must show that a lot of
Speaker 1: the language that Nicole Shanahan was using and the Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior was using, law fair and things like that
Speaker 1: are words that the Trump campaign has used. And here's
Speaker 1: the deal. If you watched the Democratic National Convention the
Speaker 1: last couple of nights, and I haven't had a chance
Speaker 1: to watch any of it. Tonight. They talk about, you know,
Speaker 1: how that they're there to unite people, Well, then they
Speaker 1: had three and a half years to unite people. They
Speaker 1: have been united people because back to Hillary Clinton calling
Speaker 1: people a bowl full of deplorables, I mean, is that
Speaker 1: united people? Joe Biden when he when he was elected,
Speaker 1: he was gonna he was gonna bring the country together.
Speaker 1: I don't think the countryes together. No, I don't think
Speaker 1: necessarily where. I don't think that the Trump's going to
Speaker 1: bring the country together either. But I just think it's amazing.
Speaker 1: Remember at one point Biden, President Biden brought literally all
Speaker 1: of Robert F. Kennedy's family, most of it, to the
Speaker 1: White House to basically show how many of them were
Speaker 1: endorsing President Biden. Of course, many of them have been
Speaker 1: appointed to ambassadorships over the over the time by by
Speaker 1: President Biden. And I got to tell you that had
Speaker 1: to stick in his crawl. That had to stick in
Speaker 1: his craw And they may pay a price for it
Speaker 1: on Friday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think it does make a little bit
Speaker 7: of a difference because I think there is a sliver
Speaker 7: of Democrats who at one point so you know, I
Speaker 7: mean they just see the JFK. They slipping away, they
Speaker 7: don't recognize things they understand about the loft thee of
Speaker 7: what's been going on. And then they, I mean, look
Speaker 7: at the democratic primary process. He had the incumbent president. Okay,
Speaker 7: he campaigns for a year. They even rigged the primary
Speaker 7: system so that they wouldn't be any competition. They basically
Speaker 7: sabotaged the primary in New Hampshire, called it unlawful, and
Speaker 7: went to South Carolina disenfranchised all the Democrats up there.
Speaker 7: So the guy runs through all the primaries, which they
Speaker 7: set up their system to start in South Carolina almost
Speaker 7: what fourteen million people voted if you're a Democrat, they
Speaker 7: basically throw those votes out and they install Harris and
Speaker 7: they keep talking about democracy and then ry Frankly, the
Speaker 7: media they use the same talking points to hear but hey,
Speaker 7: we have to be in the right side. It's about democracy.
Speaker 7: I almost throw up when I hear it, because.
Speaker 1: I've watched enough of the coverage. I look at the
Speaker 1: coverage of Tim Walls. Walls, the Governor's of Minnesota versus JD. Vance. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, Vance was in the Marines for four years
Speaker 1: on active duty. Waltz, you know, spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time in the National Guard, but he was he was
Speaker 1: not deployed overseas as Vance was. And the media has
Speaker 1: gone after Vance and it's and it's the it's the
Speaker 1: same same sort of strategy that they used against Mitt
Speaker 1: Romney in twenty twelve. Romney had bought his his venture
Speaker 1: Cap Baine had bought a company in Indiana and they
Speaker 1: laid people off and people died and all of that.
Speaker 1: It's the same playbook that they're using. And you think
Speaker 1: at some point the media would say, wait a second,
Speaker 1: hold on here, let's trying to be a little fairer.
Speaker 1: It's it's astonishing. I just know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: The media is going to turn on Robert F. Kennedy
Speaker 1: and they're going to basically say that, you know, he's crazy,
Speaker 1: he's nutty. That's exactly what's going to happen. But I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people who admire his his
Speaker 1: willingness to stand up and say what he believes, whether
Speaker 1: they think he's right or wrong. And there's some things
Speaker 1: that I totally disagree with. When when Bobby Kennedy talks,
Speaker 1: when he talks about some of the the medical conspiracies
Speaker 1: and things like that. But I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people who will bring he will drag across the
Speaker 1: aisle to Donald Trump if if indeed that's what he's
Speaker 1: going to do.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, down the road, if something was
Speaker 7: to happen and he got a position, I mean, you know,
Speaker 7: you know, he wouldn't be by any worse or any
Speaker 7: better than anyone any anyone else. I mean there's a
Speaker 7: lot of people, and this have been astraight. They were
Speaker 7: qualified for really anything, and they're running things, and I
Speaker 7: mean I wouldn't hire any of them to run anything,
Speaker 7: never mind these big agencies of the government. I mean,
Speaker 7: the payroll was bigger than most companies.
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to see. It's just it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I said all last winter, and hopefully you heard me.
Speaker 1: I said that I wasn't happy about the choice of
Speaker 1: Trump and Biden. I felt I had seen that movie before.
Speaker 1: Barack Obama kind of sole my line last night. He
Speaker 1: said he's seen the movie before, and the seaquel is
Speaker 1: worse than the original movie. I was talking about the
Speaker 1: election that I've seen how this election played out, and
Speaker 1: I felt there would be surprises. I don't ever. I
Speaker 1: never anticipated we would see Joe Biden drop out off,
Speaker 1: you know, just leave the campaign. And that now Robert F. Kennedy,
Speaker 1: third party candidate, who at one point was polling fifteen percent,
Speaker 1: made decide now that he's going to throw his lot
Speaker 1: in MacDonald Trump.
Speaker 7: You know, I get to tell you, you know, lately,
Speaker 7: I know they say between four and five are going
Speaker 7: the real politics, and I looked in but I got
Speaker 7: to tell you, I think it's a little high than that.
Speaker 7: And I think some of these if you read the
Speaker 7: internals of the polls and how they're waiting all of
Speaker 7: a sudden, you know, I don't want to say it's
Speaker 7: a little suspicious, but you know they're trying to drive
Speaker 7: the narrative. If you look at everybody got on board,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, and they you know, I think,
Speaker 7: I mean, he might not be at where he was fifteen,
Speaker 7: but I mean it's not crazy to say he's probably
Speaker 7: an eight, you know, and if you know, if Trump
Speaker 7: got a sizeable trunk of that, you know, especially in
Speaker 7: certain key states, which is you know, you know that
Speaker 7: helps Again it's.
Speaker 1: The Kennedy name is still is very very attractive to
Speaker 1: a lot of people around this country. Look, he had
Speaker 1: an uncle and and a father. His dad, you know,
Speaker 1: died in their efforts to secure the White House. So
Speaker 1: what you know, he's his family has a legacy here,
Speaker 1: and let's see what happens. Bill, appreciate your callers always
Speaker 1: say good Dan, what about you? Soon? Have a great one. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got the I'm going to pick up the pace
Speaker 1: a little bit as we move into the ten thirty
Speaker 1: part of the program. Hiccups the ten thirty news, and
Speaker 1: we'll be back. We're going to talk about this until midnight.
Speaker 1: It is a bombshell of a story. If what is
Speaker 1: going what we believe is going to happen, will happen.
Speaker 1: Back on Nightside after.
Speaker 4: This Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news
Speaker 4: radio Look.
Speaker 1: And also, by the way, if you're an RFK voter,
Speaker 1: and I would love to have you tell me how
Speaker 1: you think this might or might not impact your vote.
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll continue to vote for RFK if he does
Speaker 1: endorse Donald Trump. Again, that's the premise here. That's certainly
Speaker 1: all signs indicate that Eugene in the Philippines. Eugene next
Speaker 1: on Nightside, Go right.
Speaker 6: Ahead, Dan, I still think you should have thrown your
Speaker 6: head in and Ran.
Speaker 1: I like what I do too much, Eugene, go right ahead.
Speaker 6: Well, the way I see it, as far as mister Kennedy,
Speaker 6: it would not be a true endorsement of Trump, but
Speaker 6: rather a way of striking back at the current administration
Speaker 6: for the way they've treated him.
Speaker 1: Well, it could be both. I mean, clearly he's pretty
Speaker 1: bitter about it, as is his running mate. Could be both,
Speaker 1: don't you think?
Speaker 6: Yeah? But I don't know. It's it's just an absolute mess.
Speaker 6: I mean as far as Trump, Biden and Karma, I
Speaker 6: wouldn't vote for them for dog catcher.
Speaker 1: Well, that pretty much covers the field. Now that were you?
Speaker 1: Were you leaning towards Kennedy?
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, if you remember here a while back, I
Speaker 6: told you that, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought you were, but I just wanted to make sure.
Speaker 1: So now, if he does pull himself out of the race,
Speaker 1: and you're obviously living in the Philippines, I assumed that
Speaker 1: you would get an absentee ballot from somewhere, would you
Speaker 1: still vote for him or would you decide to vote
Speaker 1: for someone else?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, you can get the ballot from the embassy
Speaker 6: in Manila. Yeah, I'll tell you what. That's a tough
Speaker 6: choice right now.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe maybe because of your circumstance, you just decide
Speaker 1: to not even participate, and.
Speaker 6: That's a good possibility.
Speaker 1: Also, Yeah, yeah, that's that's a sad call. That's a
Speaker 1: sad commentary, not on you, but on the state of
Speaker 1: the people who are left standing at the end of
Speaker 1: the process. Not particularly attractive. Eugene, I got you in here.
Speaker 1: I got a whole bunch of on the callers I
Speaker 1: got to get to. So I'm going to let you go,
Speaker 1: and I hope things are cool enough for you out
Speaker 1: there and that the weather's are getting a little little cooler.
Speaker 6: Okay, Thanks Dan, God bless.
Speaker 1: Thanks, Thank you, Jean, talk to you soon. Let me
Speaker 1: go next to Scott. I Quincy. Scott, your thoughts on
Speaker 1: what everybody seems to be predicting is going to happen
Speaker 1: on Friday.
Speaker 8: Well, hey, Dan, I was a I was going to
Speaker 8: be a Kennedy voter. I uh, because I didn't like
Speaker 8: the smell of the other two candidates, and you know,
Speaker 8: I thought he was a straight shooter, he was a
Speaker 8: good guy, and uh, you know, I'm still I'm still
Speaker 8: on I don't know what I'm going to do now
Speaker 8: and uh and all. I guess it all depends on
Speaker 8: how Donald Trump treats him and what kind of a
Speaker 8: position he's promised in the administration. And so that if
Speaker 8: I feel like, if I'm if I have to vote
Speaker 8: for Trump, it will be doing so because Kennedy is
Speaker 8: going to get a prominent role in the administration.
Speaker 9: So yeah, I mean, I don't I don't know that
Speaker 9: that they that they that Trump would announce that in
Speaker 9: he's going to make him secretary of something, uh, in
Speaker 9: order for her for his endorsement.
Speaker 1: I think that you get into some dangerous waters there.
Speaker 1: I think he has every right to do that, But
Speaker 1: what happened is the Democrats would dump jump on that
Speaker 1: and say, oh, here's another quid pro quo. Remember quid
Speaker 1: pro quo with the phone calls with Zelensky for which
Speaker 1: he was impeached. Here's another quid pro quo. I don't
Speaker 1: think he would do that. I think that he would
Speaker 1: welcome Kennedy and have a private agreement between the two
Speaker 1: of them that he would have a that he would
Speaker 1: have a role in the administration. But I think he'd
Speaker 1: be crazy to uh to to do again a deal
Speaker 1: over this, make it that that is going to cheapen
Speaker 1: the value of the endorsement per se, in.
Speaker 8: My opinion, And how can it be legal that the
Speaker 8: Democratic Party and their their packs can wage law there
Speaker 8: against him is, how can that even be possible if well.
Speaker 1: What they did was they actually formed a pack which was,
Speaker 1: according to Bobby Kennedy, which was intended to try to
Speaker 1: keep him off the ballot. So in other words, if
Speaker 1: let's say in State X, whatever that state would be,
Speaker 1: he had to get one hundred thousand verified signatures to
Speaker 1: qualify to be on the ballot in November. If all
Speaker 1: of a sudden he was only submitting one hundred and
Speaker 1: ten thousand signatures, they could go in and they could
Speaker 1: try to compare signatures. And different states have different rules.
Speaker 1: But in most instances, if your name is you know,
Speaker 1: John J. Smith Junior on the voting rolls and you
Speaker 1: live at one two three Main Street, in most states,
Speaker 1: you have to sign that nomination paper John J. Smith Junior.
Speaker 1: And obviously it's better be you that sign it, so
Speaker 1: not signs it are not someone else. If you sign
Speaker 1: it you know John Smith or John Smith Junior. In
Speaker 1: the level, those that signature could be challenged, and if
Speaker 1: you knock out enough signatures then you don't have an
Speaker 1: adequate number of signatures to get on the ballot. And
Speaker 1: if there were specific states that they thought Kennedy's presence
Speaker 1: would hurt them, like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, I
Speaker 1: think he's I think Kennedy is supposed to go to
Speaker 1: Arizona and face a court hearing. You know, it's this
Speaker 1: is all civil stuff. No one's being criminally charged here.
Speaker 1: But basically there's this group of people who are being
Speaker 1: funded by the Democratic Party to keep to try to
Speaker 1: keep Bobby Kennedy off the ballot because they thought Bobby
Speaker 1: Kennedy would draw down votes from Joe Biden.
Speaker 8: That's just crazy. Well that can happen.
Speaker 1: That's how the system works. I mean, you know, you
Speaker 1: might not like it, but you know they're saying, we
Speaker 1: want to make sure that he has the adequate number
Speaker 1: of signats to get on the ballot in this so
Speaker 1: let's see. You know, keep please keep calling the show.
Speaker 1: And as time goes on, I think if you call
Speaker 1: me back sometime and say, hey, look, I've decided I've
Speaker 1: become a firm vote for Trump, or if you said
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not going to vote or whatever. I want
Speaker 1: to see what your your thought process is. I want
Speaker 1: to hear from as many Kennedy voters or potential Kennedy
Speaker 1: voters as possible. Scott, appreciate your call very much. Yep,
Speaker 1: Damn talk to you soon. Six two five, four ten
Speaker 1: thirty six. We are basically being given very clear signals
Speaker 1: that Robert F. Kennedy Junior is going to drop out
Speaker 1: of this race, this presidential race, and he is going to,
Speaker 1: in all probability endorse Donald Trump on Friday or shortly thereafter.
Speaker 1: I want to know what does that mean to you?
Speaker 1: Let me go to DoD In Medford. She is a
Speaker 1: Trump supporter. I know that from other previous phone calls,
Speaker 1: but I'll suspect that she's pretty happy about this. Go ahead, Dot, Hi, Hi, Dan.
Speaker 10: You know I'm not happy about it, because who wants
Speaker 10: to see anybody treated the way well Trump and Bob
Speaker 10: Kennedy have been treated. I mean, they're bringing him to
Speaker 10: all these courtrooms to try to stay on ballance. How
Speaker 10: can they be so rotten? And yet these Democrats, I'm
Speaker 10: telling you, I run into them all the time, and
Speaker 10: when they start talking and I put in my two
Speaker 10: cents worth. They get so red in the face they're
Speaker 10: ready to they could punch me for saying what I say.
Speaker 10: I'm not kidding you. I had two women today. One
Speaker 10: got so furious that I didn't agree with her. The
Speaker 10: other one absolutely. She said, oh, you're not agreeing with me.
Speaker 10: I said no. She walked away, and later I saw
Speaker 10: her again. I said, oh, how are you doing? And
Speaker 10: she just gave me sort of a thumbs down. I mean,
Speaker 10: they're just awful. It's a dreadful situation, and we're going
Speaker 10: to say it is true.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that it's true. He served for
Speaker 1: twenty four years, uh, Innisota National.
Speaker 10: Guard, but he dropped out when he was supposed to
Speaker 10: go with is true?
Speaker 1: Well, the what I have read on and I just
Speaker 1: think that that sort of argument, uh doesn't help your cause.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I just think that by calling someone
Speaker 1: who served twenty four years, he supposedly left the guard
Speaker 1: to run for Congress three minuts before the guard group
Speaker 1: was activated. So that's all I mean.
Speaker 10: I just think, you know what, you know what gets me?
Speaker 10: Donald Trump? He can say things, but when I've been
Speaker 10: listening to this convention. Every speaker says despicable things about
Speaker 10: Donald Trump, every one of them.
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. There take the language. We
Speaker 1: got to take the language down. And it look I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not down, you know, but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: is that, you know, Michelle Obama said, you know that,
Speaker 1: you know when when they go low, we go high
Speaker 1: about that. It's like they basically high with with with
Speaker 1: good language, they basically suggest that this guy wants to
Speaker 1: become a Nazi dictator, that that he's.
Speaker 10: Somehow It's just awful. It's awful. I mean, naturally, I'm
Speaker 10: voting for Trump. Bobby Kennedy and I mentioned you a
Speaker 10: few months ago, I hope people would look at him.
Speaker 10: People were going to vote for Biden, I said, I
Speaker 10: hope people are going to look at Bobby Kennedy and
Speaker 10: give him a chance.
Speaker 1: But well, Bobby Kennedy tonight, tonight is saying that he
Speaker 1: wasn't given a chance, and he was not, and he,
Speaker 1: I think, is going to extract a pound of flesh
Speaker 1: from the Democrats.
Speaker 10: Because well, you know, I hope.
Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see. Hey, DoD is always dreamed.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your call, all right, I'm just trying to keep
Speaker 1: keep the temperature down on both sides.
Speaker 10: Unfortunately the Dems are not doing that. Plus the fact
Speaker 10: the State House is practically closed. The state is closed
Speaker 10: because Mars over there and wo was there. There's nobody
Speaker 10: in town. They were all at the convention.
Speaker 1: Well, the good thing if there's nobody in town that
Speaker 1: can't do any harm up at the State House. When
Speaker 1: you think about right by th we we do have
Speaker 1: Darth Vader Secretary of State Bill Galvin in charge. I
Speaker 1: can just see that. Oh well, six one seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty, triple eight nine nine, ten thirty, and there's
Speaker 1: one line at six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
Speaker 1: I still would love to hear from as many Robert F.
Speaker 1: Kennedy junior voters as possible to find out from you
Speaker 1: what you think. Now, again, this hasn't happened yet, and
Speaker 1: obviously I guess until it happens, it hasn't happened. But
Speaker 1: all of the networks tonight are are in unison on this,
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about this until midnight back
Speaker 1: on Nightside.
Speaker 4: Right after this, now, back to Dan Ray Live from
Speaker 4: the Window World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep rolling. You're going to go to
Speaker 1: Anthony and Boston. Anthony, appreciate you taking the time to
Speaker 1: call in. You were next on night Side, sir.
Speaker 11: Go right ahead, Hi Dan, thank you so much for
Speaker 11: taking my call for.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on what Bobby Bobby Kennedy might
Speaker 1: soon do?
Speaker 11: Okay, if you'll indulge me, I'm going to start a
Speaker 11: little ways back. So in twenty two eight, twenty twelve.
Speaker 11: In twenty sixteen, I voted third party. I was very
Speaker 11: disappointed with both the Democrats and the Republicans. So that's
Speaker 11: been my instinct for quite a long time. In twenty twenty,
Speaker 11: leading up to Trump's reelection, I did get a sex for.
Speaker 7: How he would lead as a president, and.
Speaker 11: I was shocked and impressed, frankly, and international peace and
Speaker 11: the domestic prosperity was a breath of fresh air. And
Speaker 11: the unwillingness to go along with the globalist program that
Speaker 11: seems to be in lockstep across so many nations around
Speaker 11: the world was also a breath of fresh air. So
Speaker 11: this media barrage of vitriol and hyperbole against Donald Trump
Speaker 11: really got me curious about him and This was before
Speaker 11: they raided his home, before they changed the laws to
Speaker 11: bring him to trial over and over again for an
Speaker 11: assassination attempt. So my sympathies now lie with the anti
Speaker 11: establishment candidate, Donald Trump. But in any other time I
Speaker 11: would gladly cast my vote for RFK. He's an upstanding, brilliant,
Speaker 11: honorable guy, and nothing would make me happier than for
Speaker 11: him and his vice presidential candidate to put their weight
Speaker 11: behind Donald Trump, to really extend an olive branch to
Speaker 11: other anti establishment voters who maybe in the past have
Speaker 11: also believed some of those lies about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Well, interesting analysis, and I think you may be hitting
Speaker 1: upon what we're going to evolve on Friday night. It's
Speaker 1: going to be interesting because I think that it will
Speaker 1: take all of the The timing of it is going
Speaker 1: to hurt the Democrats in of itself because the convention
Speaker 1: will have ended. They would have hoped to have gone
Speaker 1: into the weekend still on the high of a convention.
Speaker 1: But I think all the media is have to cover
Speaker 1: the Robbie Kennedy announcement. Now they will not covered and say, oh,
Speaker 1: this is a great thing. They're going to be very
Speaker 1: critical of it. But they're going to at least have
Speaker 1: to take notice of it. So right we make conversations
Speaker 1: between Kennedy and JD. Vance Kennedy's peoples as well, So I.
Speaker 11: Think there's mutual respect there. And like I said, nothing
Speaker 11: would make me happier if I could sneak this one
Speaker 11: additional point. It's that I believe lifelong Democrats. You know,
Speaker 11: as we all tend to rally behind our teams, they
Speaker 11: may have been willing to turn a blind eye to
Speaker 11: their party's willingness to disenfranchise independence and even Republicans. But
Speaker 11: this go around they have completely bypassed the Democratic voters.
Speaker 11: And I have to hope that there are enough honest
Speaker 11: Democrats out there that they'll recognize that, whether they want
Speaker 11: to win or not, it's unjust and it's unconstitutional, and
Speaker 11: it's it's literally alienating people from our only part in
Speaker 11: the democratic process that they claim to support. So let's
Speaker 11: let's hope that there's enough sensibility to at least rally
Speaker 11: behind any opposition to that sort of dishonesty and evil.
Speaker 1: Well said Anthony, you got to become a more frequent
Speaker 1: call to your analysis. I think is very good. And again,
Speaker 1: whether I agree to disagree with it. You you made
Speaker 1: a great call. Thank you very much.
Speaker 11: Well, I'm grateful.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 11: Dan.
Speaker 1: Good night. Let me get Stephen ma and Steve if
Speaker 1: I if you don't finish, I'll hold you all the
Speaker 1: Gorett ahead, Steve, you only got about a minute and
Speaker 1: a half left. Go ahead.
Speaker 12: Well, thank thank you. I'm trying to be brief. I
Speaker 12: had landed on Kennedy because for the first time in
Speaker 12: my sixty three years, well obviously not voting under eighteen, sure,
Speaker 12: I was leaving the Republican Party. I was kind of
Speaker 12: done with Donald Trump and all of his shenanigans. And
Speaker 12: you know I live in I live in the first
Speaker 12: district of Maine, so that means, you know, that's going
Speaker 12: to go Democratic no matter what I want to do.
Speaker 12: So I sort of started seeing it as a as
Speaker 12: a protest vote against Trump. And now they leave me
Speaker 12: with no choice but too but to come back home
Speaker 12: if this comes to fruition on Friday.
Speaker 1: So this Robert Kennedy's endorsement of Trump. If, if indeed
Speaker 1: that is what transpires on Friday brings you back to
Speaker 1: vote for Trump, well.
Speaker 12: I can't say it's it's it's the impetus, but it
Speaker 12: certainly certainly leaves me no other alternatives either, because I mean,
Speaker 12: you could can't support what the Democrats are doing in our.
Speaker 1: Country, right, I mean, you could still choose not to vote,
Speaker 1: and you could still probably write in Bobby Kennedy. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's too late and his name would be in the
Speaker 1: ballot too. You never know. Hey, guys, see, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, I got a break here for the eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock news. If you'd like, we can continue this on
Speaker 1: the other side. If you'd like to stay with us,
Speaker 1: thank you. Hang on, we got one line open six
Speaker 1: point seven, four, ten thirty. Steve will lead us off
Speaker 1: on the other side. I get Ron, Marty and friend
Speaker 1: as well in room for you back on nightside after
Speaker 1: this
