Speaker 1: It's nice Boston's news radio, all right.
Speaker 2: So for those of you who have just joined us,
Speaker 2: here is the theory Joe batten fell Boston Herald Today
Speaker 2: came up with. I thought something that was pretty credible.
Speaker 2: Unlike my friend Frank from Northbridge, who is convinced that
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is going to drop out of the race.
Speaker 2: And Frank, even though you weren't willing to say to
Speaker 2: me that you would offer an apology to me if
Speaker 2: that happens in the unlikely event, in the highly unlikely event,
Speaker 2: I will acknowledge, and I will give you a.
Speaker 3: Chance to take a victory lamp here.
Speaker 2: But suffice it to say, suffice it to say, there
Speaker 2: is I think a real credible theory that Joe Baton
Speaker 2: felt Maine in the Boston Herald today, and that is
Speaker 2: that if all of a sudden the Democrat happened to
Speaker 2: think that Kamala Harris's Kamala Harris's lead is slipping away,
Speaker 2: and I don't think she has a lead now. I
Speaker 2: think that everyone is saying this is a really tight race.
Speaker 2: And remember this what matters is the electoral College, and
Speaker 2: Donald Trump can underperform and could lose, very easily lose
Speaker 2: the popular vote as he did in twenty sixteen and
Speaker 2: still prevail on the electoral college. And part of that
Speaker 2: is that you have states like New York and California,
Speaker 2: which in Massachusetts, which go overwhelmingly Democrat. So in California,
Speaker 2: which has a lot of electoral votes, put them in
Speaker 2: Harris's column right now. But she will have a win
Speaker 2: out there with you know, a couple of million votes.
Speaker 2: And the states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, that's why they
Speaker 2: call them the battleground states. They could be decided by
Speaker 2: thirty thousand, forty thousand votes. But anyway, so if let
Speaker 2: us say the Democrats felt Kamala Harris's lead was slipping away,
Speaker 2: is it.
Speaker 3: Possible, that's the question.
Speaker 2: Is it possible that the Democrats could basically employ what
Speaker 2: would be the biggest October surprise of them all, the
Speaker 2: grandaddy of them all. They would go to President Biden
Speaker 2: say to him, look, it's important that Donald Trump. It's
Speaker 2: just as important that Vice President Harris be elected. But
Speaker 2: what's most important is that Donald Trump be defeated, and
Speaker 2: they might convince him to resign the office, make Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris the president. The incumbent forty seventh president of the
Speaker 2: United States, and there could be a ground swell of support,
Speaker 2: patriotic support for first female president to be Donale become
Speaker 2: president by virtue of Joe Biden's resignation, but also to
Speaker 2: have her elected. So that's what I'm talking about, and
Speaker 2: that's what Joe Battenfeld talked about today. And if you
Speaker 2: think it's crazy, feel free. But don't tell me that
Speaker 2: you think Donald Trump is going to drop out too
Speaker 2: to do a plea bargain. I mean not happening. Hey,
Speaker 2: let's go to Greg and Dorchester. Heh, Greg, welcome back.
Speaker 4: How are you hi, Dan, Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 4: I think it's I read the article. I think is
Speaker 4: quite possible. Anything can happen. But Frank didn't understand was
Speaker 4: the national poll, which is good if fury your head,
Speaker 4: but it doesn't count. It's down to the battle of
Speaker 4: tone the States that he just stated, and it's it's
Speaker 4: to go there. You know, anybody could win it. But
Speaker 4: the trouble would be it would be I think it
Speaker 4: could also backfire.
Speaker 3: Anything backfire.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's that's the only thing I'd be worried
Speaker 4: about in that case. Well, it's a good I don't
Speaker 4: think it's a.
Speaker 2: Bad Don't you think that there would be a lot
Speaker 2: of people who would say, Hey, she's president, let's give
Speaker 2: her a chance.
Speaker 3: Don't don't you think there would be some people?
Speaker 4: Yeah, she'd be the president.
Speaker 3: Should be on. She might not be in the ballot.
Speaker 2: They would have to reprint ballots, and I don't think
Speaker 2: they could do it that late, but it would be,
Speaker 2: it would be, It would be stunning. Now again, if
Speaker 2: if that happens, we got to give Joe baden Fell credit. Uh,
Speaker 2: And I'll be interested. You know, someone like yourself. You're
Speaker 2: saying it's possible.
Speaker 3: That's all. I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm saying,
Speaker 3: do you think this anyway that Donald Trump is negotiating?
Speaker 2: As Frank said, I know you're a Democrat, You're a good,
Speaker 2: good solid Democrat.
Speaker 3: Do you think I mean, do you what do you
Speaker 3: think Frank is thinking? I mean, is he is he
Speaker 3: dreaming at that point?
Speaker 4: Or what any in that? Please?
Speaker 3: Well, Frank one of our callers from last.
Speaker 4: Hours, he's either way off. He just didn't even know
Speaker 4: what he's talking about. He talked about the national poll.
Speaker 4: I mean national poll's created for ten points ahead or something,
Speaker 4: and it still doesn't make you president. If you look
Speaker 4: way back in the sixties between Nixon and Kennedy, it
Speaker 4: was Cox County in Chicago that Kennedy like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, maybe some votes in Texas as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe some more like that, but the Soldi Couple's
Speaker 4: House votes. So if the lecture was held tomorrow, I
Speaker 4: think Trump might might just win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the Democrats will not.
Speaker 4: Stretching their head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's like, how does this guy do this?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's he defies. I don't understand in
Speaker 2: many respects. After all the things that he said, the
Speaker 2: stuff he said on the Boss, the stuff that he
Speaker 2: said about eating cats and dogs, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 2: pretty weird, pretty weird.
Speaker 4: Going back to to Jimmy Carter, Preston Carter, the recent fight,
Speaker 4: he lost because it was because the show and they
Speaker 4: wanted to give up the Shaw. They sent him back
Speaker 4: to Iran and then Timmy Carter would President Carter would
Speaker 4: do That's why he lost election over.
Speaker 2: President Carter also had the misfortune when they tried to
Speaker 2: go in and rescue the hostages.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well.
Speaker 4: He was an easy man, Like you said, he was great. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was watching him today actually and it was uh
Speaker 4: uh taking TV there about dark Corey this when he
Speaker 4: went to Narkorey and all that stuff, you know, was
Speaker 4: uh the documentary which was great, you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3: Again to talk to you as well. Be well, my friend.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, bye bye bye. Okay, keep rolling here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's eleven fifteen. Let me grab Christine from Dedham here
Speaker 2: real quickly. I don't want to have to have you.
Speaker 2: Wait Christine, you're next to night Side.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Hi, Dean, how are you.
Speaker 3: I'm doing great? Thanks for calling in. What's your what's
Speaker 3: your thought on this? Do you think it's possible that
Speaker 3: the Democrats, in desperation might go to President Biden and say, hey,
Speaker 3: let's do the right thing for the country.
Speaker 2: Mister president. All you have to do is sign this
Speaker 2: paper and give up the office. What do you think
Speaker 2: you think? I'm think Joe Battenfell is way off base.
Speaker 7: No, No, I think I think that could happen.
Speaker 3: It would be it would be the ultimate October surprise
Speaker 3: if it did happen. Though.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and did you hear today that the Boston Hayda
Speaker 7: had a thing at the commentary protest about about his
Speaker 7: comment about the guys in the cat.
Speaker 2: I heard something on the radio. I'm gonna look at that.
Speaker 2: Look at that in tomorrow morning's newspapers.
Speaker 8: Did they get a big They had a big crowd.
Speaker 7: They said they're not going to vote for him come
Speaker 7: election time. They're gonna turn on him.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that he I don't know that
Speaker 2: they were likely to vote for him anyway.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know that lost folks in that regard.
Speaker 7: I think he's lost. I think he's lost to vote.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 2: If he ever had it, I don't know why he
Speaker 2: would make that statement.
Speaker 3: Uh, if if he thought that that was true. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he should have done due diligence because he looked.
Speaker 2: Some of the memes that I have seen on Facebook
Speaker 2: and Twitter are absolutely hilarious. There was one I saw
Speaker 2: where they had this this dog who was sitting up
Speaker 2: with his eyes wide open, and of course they played
Speaker 2: me the sound of former President Trump saying, and they're
Speaker 2: eating cats and dogs. Yes again that the dog of
Speaker 2: course looked terrified.
Speaker 7: That this country is crazy, Dan, it really is.
Speaker 3: Well, we've got to hopefully get ourselves.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: And when it's over I just hope when it's over,
Speaker 2: whoever wins, and I mean this seriously, that I I
Speaker 2: hope the country isn't ripped apart whoever wins, and I
Speaker 2: hope that everybody, uh says, Okay, the election's over. Now
Speaker 2: fill in the blank. Donald Trump president of the country,
Speaker 2: and let's give them a chance to see.
Speaker 5: What they want.
Speaker 7: What I want to hear about is healthcare and education
Speaker 7: and what they're going to do about the borders.
Speaker 2: You got those are those are three? And you can
Speaker 2: probably throw inflation in there too.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the cost of everything just keeps going on. Simple.
Speaker 3: Thanks Christine, We'll talk sooner.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Thanks for calling.
Speaker 3: Six seven two five four ten thirty is one line
Speaker 3: and six one seven nine three one ten thirty. There's
Speaker 3: one line in both. You gotta fill them up quickly.
Speaker 2: Do you think it's conceivable that's what Joe Battenfeld is
Speaker 2: asking this morning, that Joe Biden might, either of his
Speaker 2: own volition or under some additional pressure from the from
Speaker 2: the leadership of the Democratic Party, would resign in order
Speaker 2: to give the presidency give the White House to Vice
Speaker 2: President Harris in advance of the election on November fifth.
Speaker 2: That would be the Ultimate Ultimate October Surprise. Back on Nightside.
Speaker 2: Feel free join us coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep rolling here, see what folks have
Speaker 3: to say here. Who's up next?
Speaker 2: Let's go to Gary and Woolburn. Gary, I'm going to
Speaker 2: be interested. You always think outside the box. I think
Speaker 2: you'll I'll be to is what you have to say.
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Gary, You're exactly right, and this is gonna
Speaker 9: be a short and sweet phone call. I'll let you
Speaker 9: do the hanging up at the end. I don't even
Speaker 9: know why you're talking about it. It seems like a
Speaker 9: useless subject. Joe Battenfeld's article. I mean, does it have
Speaker 9: any relevance? Or she's now the president, so everybody goes like,
Speaker 9: we're gonna give her a shot, We're gonna get all your.
Speaker 3: Niced about I think that that. Look if let's say
Speaker 3: on October fifteenth, Gary, the polls show that by that
Speaker 3: the president, former President Trump is pulling away. What do
Speaker 3: you think the Democrats are going to do? Just say, okay,
Speaker 3: we lost.
Speaker 9: I agree with that, but let's face it, after what's happened,
Speaker 9: the last four years. How do people get all excited about,
Speaker 9: whether it's Kamala Harris or anybody. I'm still in love
Speaker 9: with Nikky Haley. I mean, I just don't see any relevance,
Speaker 9: anything exciting about what you're talking about right now. But
Speaker 9: I thank you for letting me get on. I'll let
Speaker 9: you hang up on me.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to hang up on you. I'll let
Speaker 3: you go. But there's no reason. I'm not going to
Speaker 3: be uh be rude. You're you're a gentleman, and there's
Speaker 3: no reason for me to hang up.
Speaker 2: And if you've said what you had to say, I'll
Speaker 2: bid you, bid you a do until next time. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's keep rolling here, going next to Bob and rain him.
Speaker 2: Bob Gary doesn't like the topic. What do you think?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 10: I like the topic.
Speaker 6: I think my viewpoint is that I think both parties,
Speaker 6: even the Democrats, want to get rid of Camil Harris.
Speaker 6: I think they have to get her out of the
Speaker 6: national spotlight. I think if you remember, either it was
Speaker 6: just before the election or it was just after the
Speaker 6: election when Joe Biden got elected Pelosi. I don't know
Speaker 6: how it came out, but she somehow was investigating. I
Speaker 6: believe it's a twenty fifth Amendment to you know, take
Speaker 6: the president out of office based on you know, incopacity,
Speaker 6: incompacitance or whatever.
Speaker 3: Incacity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the twenty fifth Amendment essentially gives the vice president
Speaker 2: the ability to convene the cabinet and talk to cabinet
Speaker 2: members and if a majority of them believe that the
Speaker 2: president should be removed from office.
Speaker 3: That that is there.
Speaker 2: But that's really in the case of an incapacitated I
Speaker 2: think someone the attention there was if someone you know,
Speaker 2: had a massive stroke and they were still alive.
Speaker 3: Again and plus.
Speaker 2: Well again, I think the the twenty fifth Amendment will
Speaker 2: would be used in only in extreme circumstances.
Speaker 6: I read the amendment, but I don't I believe that
Speaker 6: they did that anticipating that Biden was going to lose
Speaker 6: it while he was in office, which he did. But
Speaker 6: I think the fact that they never acted to put
Speaker 6: Harris in that position, you know, even a year or
Speaker 6: so ago, leads me to believe that they just got
Speaker 6: to get her out of there because they know how
Speaker 6: incompetent she is. I mean, she really is a dope.
Speaker 6: I mean everyone Okay, So.
Speaker 2: By the way, would it surprise you if I told
Speaker 2: you that the twenty fifth Amendment was adopted ratified on
Speaker 2: February tenth, nineteen sixty seven. Joe Biden wasn't even in
Speaker 2: the United States Senate. He wasn't elected to the United
Speaker 2: States Senate till nineteen seventy two. And you know, so
Speaker 2: it was not ratified in anticipation of a Joe Biden
Speaker 2: presidency because Joe Biden that.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying that it wasn't it was.
Speaker 2: It was ratified I think in a much more extreme
Speaker 2: set of circumstances where you had a president who would
Speaker 2: have suffered a major stroke uh and uh and was literally.
Speaker 3: On a deathbed.
Speaker 2: That's what I think the purpose of that was. So
Speaker 2: I don't think it's here. I don't think they're going
Speaker 2: to use it clear, but I think that they could
Speaker 2: say to Joe Biden. The argument that Battenfeldt makes today
Speaker 2: and that I agree with, is they could go to
Speaker 2: Joe Biden and say, look, mister president, you know the
Speaker 2: the numbers that turned against the vice president. If you
Speaker 2: were to resign and allow her to be president, that
Speaker 2: might give her a boost where she could win this election.
Speaker 2: And then what would he do. Would you say, no,
Speaker 2: I want I want to see Trump win. No, I
Speaker 2: don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 6: Never never do it.
Speaker 8: It.
Speaker 6: Never stepped down. His ego is too big. He would
Speaker 6: never step down.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, i'll tell you this. It would be a
Speaker 2: big pill to swallow, is what you're saying. And I
Speaker 2: think you're right on the right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he'd never do it. But let me see. On
Speaker 6: top of that, I truly believe that if they had
Speaker 6: any belief that she was confident to be president, they
Speaker 6: would have done that along, you know, six months ago,
Speaker 6: a month ago. But it's too late to.
Speaker 10: Do it now.
Speaker 2: And that's your point of view, and I respect that
Speaker 2: point of view. You've thought it through and I understand
Speaker 2: what you're saying. Thank you so much, appreciate it. By
Speaker 2: the way, on Friday night, I want to remind everybody
Speaker 2: that we in the twentieth hour on Friday night, we
Speaker 2: will do our second to last presidential snap poll. We've
Speaker 2: done this now every Friday night, last Friday night of
Speaker 2: the month at a eleven March, April, May, June, July, August,
Speaker 2: and September will be the seventh and October will be
Speaker 2: the last. This is the first one that we've done,
Speaker 2: I think where it's just Kamala Harris and uh and
Speaker 2: and President Trump.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, yeah, I think that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think this This is the is the last one
Speaker 2: that we have done that it will be.
Speaker 3: This is the first clean clear Trump versus Harris. So
Speaker 3: this is Friday night at eleven o'clock. And by the way,
Speaker 3: everybody gets a hall pass on Friday night. Even if
Speaker 3: you called in during the week, you can call in
Speaker 3: during the eleven on Friday night if you can get through.
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: Thanks Bob, talk to you soon. Have a great night.
Speaker 2: Next up, let's keep rolling here. You're gonna go to
Speaker 2: Matt and Brighton. Matt, You're next on nights.
Speaker 3: I go right ahead, good, good.
Speaker 5: Look.
Speaker 8: You know, I agree with the last and I agree
Speaker 8: with a lot of what everybody's saying. You know, here's
Speaker 8: the thing. Trump says a lot of you know, foolish, stupid,
Speaker 8: you know things. I fully support him. You know, he
Speaker 8: has done a better job in my opinion, than Joe
Speaker 8: Biden has and died. And Kamala Harris is gonna, in
Speaker 8: my opinion and opinion, destroy this country in many ways.
Speaker 8: And it's going to be and you know, to a
Speaker 8: point where it maybe very hard to get back to
Speaker 8: even where we were it was twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: So let me ask you.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a couple of Questionsah, I understand
Speaker 2: you hold that view, and I understand that you firmly
Speaker 2: believe in that view. Why then is this race as
Speaker 2: close as it is today. There's a lot of people
Speaker 2: in this country who disagree with you, Matt and believe
Speaker 2: believe that Donald Trump is a huge threat to democracy.
Speaker 8: Well, and you ask a good question. I would point
Speaker 8: to there were no active words that Trump engaged in,
Speaker 8: and democracy he does stand for, you know, if that
Speaker 8: didn't happen, and then other things in democracy, Yes, he
Speaker 8: may have done on a personal level of conviction. You
Speaker 8: know that he's been in courts and stuff and then
Speaker 8: in democracy also in terms of relation to other countries,
Speaker 8: but he was like this before. So track record is
Speaker 8: something that's best to go off of if you go.
Speaker 3: On your argue in the case you're trying to convince
Speaker 3: people who are never going to vote for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Man, That's all what I'm trying to say is this
Speaker 2: election at this point is close by every poll that
Speaker 2: you've seen. We've seen it's close, but you're telling us,
Speaker 2: You're saying, hey, look this guy.
Speaker 3: Is uh.
Speaker 2: You're focusing your attack on Harris. I think there's a
Speaker 2: lot of enthusiasm, particularly in the Democratic Party for Vice
Speaker 2: President Harris.
Speaker 3: But if if she starts to slide, I think it's
Speaker 3: conceivable that that the leaders of the party might go
Speaker 3: to Joe Biden saying, look, you have this election in
Speaker 3: your hand, and if you were to resign and give
Speaker 3: her the White House, this might provide the final push
Speaker 3: that she needs to get overline. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I might be wrong on that.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's necessarily going to happen, but I
Speaker 2: thought that Battenfeld's argument today was pretty provocative.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and all I'll say very quickly is, you know, look,
Speaker 8: whoever's best for this country? I have no Yeah, I'm
Speaker 8: not attacking, but I have no I.
Speaker 2: Said to me that that the country, if she gets elected,
Speaker 2: the country would never recover.
Speaker 3: It would never be I know.
Speaker 8: I said it might not, but it may not based
Speaker 8: on her.
Speaker 3: That's like saying that's like saying that if Trump is elected,
Speaker 3: he might become Hitler. I mean wow, I mean, go on,
Speaker 3: the country will survive no matter what happens.
Speaker 8: No, and I agree. And one of the points that
Speaker 8: I was going to say was that we have to
Speaker 8: accept as much as it's going to be to me,
Speaker 8: you know, it would be a bite, you know, it
Speaker 8: would be you have to accept the winner in democracy
Speaker 8: and for four years of kind of the way and
Speaker 8: rhetoric of arguing and you know, just not accepting it.
Speaker 8: If she wins, she wins, and hope, hopefully she could
Speaker 8: do a good job.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 2: We'll be talking about that too once after the I
Speaker 2: don't know that everybody on.
Speaker 3: The other side is going to be happy if if
Speaker 3: Trump wins. You know, I think it could be a rough,
Speaker 3: a rough November in this country no matter who wins, sadly,
Speaker 3: and we got to make sure that doesn't happen, okay,
Speaker 3: because that's where you could lose the country. Matter. All right,
Speaker 3: I'll give you a quick final word if you want
Speaker 3: to go ahead.
Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you, Sorry, sorry, I just want I
Speaker 8: just wanted to make the example of Carter Johnson, and
Speaker 8: I believe it was Truman. These presidents all knew that
Speaker 8: it was time for them not to run again and
Speaker 8: to drop out because they would not be able to do.
Speaker 10: A good job.
Speaker 8: My comparison there is that Kamala Harris is a secondary option.
Speaker 8: But I don't dropped out. But he knew exactly what
Speaker 8: these other people knew. And I think it's a it's
Speaker 8: a gamble. It's a very big gamble for anybody who's
Speaker 8: going to vote for Way.
Speaker 3: Carter didn't drop out. Carter was beaten by Ronald.
Speaker 8: Reagan, Okay, and then I misspeaking for the other two.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, Lyndon Johnson decided afternoon in Reamshire primary, which
Speaker 2: he actually won, but he was he decided he was done.
Speaker 2: And Harry Truman could have run in nineteen fifty two,
Speaker 2: but he chose not to run, but because there was
Speaker 2: no prohibition about him running again.
Speaker 3: Because when.
Speaker 2: I think it was the twenty second Amendment which was
Speaker 2: passed and I'll double check that as I'm talking to you,
Speaker 2: to limit the president to two terms.
Speaker 3: He was exempted from them.
Speaker 2: Because it was passed while he was he had become
Speaker 2: president after after Franklin. After Franklin Roosevelt died in nineteen
Speaker 2: forty forty five, and twenty two is the second. The
Speaker 2: limitation of two terms of the presidency, and that was
Speaker 2: ratified in February of nineteen fifty one. So Truman could
Speaker 2: have run theoretically in nineteen fifty two, but he chose
Speaker 2: to go home. And actually Truman left Washington and drove
Speaker 2: home with his wife to Missouri. You didn't even take
Speaker 2: an airplane or a train. He drove home himself. I
Speaker 2: don't think he had even Secret Service protection to his
Speaker 2: home his Missouri.
Speaker 3: Thanks, Matt.
Speaker 8: I appreciate it that time too.
Speaker 2: All Right, we're talking about an article in the Boston
Speaker 2: Herald today by Joe Battenfelder. I thought it's a great
Speaker 2: topic for conversation. Would the Democrats, if they were desperate,
Speaker 2: asked Joe Biden to give up the presidency so Vice
Speaker 2: President Harris could run as as an incumbent president. That
Speaker 2: would be the biggest Octobus surprise in history. But we've
Speaker 2: talked about it now. May not happen. I'm not suggesting
Speaker 2: it will happen, even but I think it's a good conversation,
Speaker 2: and I hope you'll continue to call. I've got a
Speaker 2: couple of open lines one at six, one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four to ten thirty which just filled, and I got
Speaker 2: one at six one, seven, nine, three one ten thirty.
Speaker 2: That's the only old open lines. So so call six
Speaker 2: one seven nine one ten thirty and we will get
Speaker 2: you on between now and midnight. Coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: Oh, we have full lines.
Speaker 2: We're going to get everyone in. I promise. We're talking
Speaker 2: about a theory. That's all we're talking about. Don't have
Speaker 2: to get upset about it. Let's go to Jim in
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Jim, you're next on Nightside.
Speaker 11: Gor ahead, h Dan, thanks for doing my call.
Speaker 3: Welcome, thanks for calling it. What's up? What do you think?
Speaker 11: I'm happy again? And uh I I don't understand why
Speaker 11: it's so difficult for people to stay on topic and
Speaker 11: just give it a yes or no answer. But I
Speaker 11: say yes. And it all fits together now because what
Speaker 11: what's his name's been saying all along? Oh, I won't
Speaker 11: forgive my son. I won't pardon my son in.
Speaker 3: Community sentence or commuter sentence.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I kept saying to myself, Yeah, right, what other
Speaker 11: you know? Tell me another one?
Speaker 3: Right? The mail?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 11: All right? I gave it to the office. So but
Speaker 11: this all this all fits together. Now and uh, And
Speaker 11: I wouldn't put anything past him as far as you know,
Speaker 11: hanky panky Shenanigan's uh and you know and round you know,
Speaker 11: uh plays so quarterback sneak. So yeah, I would lean.
Speaker 11: I'd give it on a scale of one to ten,
Speaker 11: like a seven.
Speaker 3: We're not We're not shut. I just think it's an
Speaker 3: interesting Had you thought of this before you listen.
Speaker 11: To that as a possibility, No, No, it's but but
Speaker 11: when he said as soon as he said it, I
Speaker 11: was like, oh, yeah, that's why, And that's why Biden
Speaker 11: knows that he isn't gonna have to pardon. But as
Speaker 11: soon as as soon as I heard the Hunter pled
Speaker 11: guilty to all those charges, I knew right away he's
Speaker 11: just trying to speed up the process so he gets
Speaker 11: sentenced and he can be pardoned before his dad leaves office, didn't.
Speaker 2: I think Biden Hunter Biden is sentenced sometime shortly after
Speaker 2: the election, uh in November, So we'll have to see
Speaker 2: how it unfolds. I think it's an intriguing possibility. And
Speaker 2: I know that the people who run presidential campaigns. You
Speaker 2: talk about the super Bowl and how expensive that is.
Speaker 2: Presidential campaigns make the super Bowl look like peanuts. Because
Speaker 2: the super Bowl, there's one hundred million people who watch.
Speaker 2: Presidential campaigns is like nearly two hundred million people who
Speaker 2: participate by voting. And in terms of we have a
Speaker 2: lot of money that's spent on ads, they be billions
Speaker 2: of dollars spent on political ads this year super Bowl.
Speaker 2: You hear about some add as a million dollars or
Speaker 2: five million dollars, which is great. But this, this, truly
Speaker 2: is is all the marbles. And when people are for
Speaker 2: all the marbles do anything.
Speaker 11: I don't know why we're talking about this, but when
Speaker 11: people talk about money going around to the super Bowl,
Speaker 11: they're talking about gambling. And it's worldwide. So I would
Speaker 11: imagine that's in the trillions or whatever.
Speaker 3: A lot of gambling going on to this presidential election too, believe.
Speaker 2: As do you assume? Thanks man, keep rolling here? Where
Speaker 2: are we going to go next? We're gonna go to
Speaker 2: Dave in Pennsylvania. Dave and Pennsylvania next on NIGHTSID, we're
Speaker 2: getting the out of New England. People listening, now, go ahead, Dave?
Speaker 10: All right, thanks for taking the Calloh, you know, like
Speaker 10: with Biden, he's absolutely the lamest of lame duck presidents
Speaker 10: I've ever seen. I mean, he's not even audible. They
Speaker 10: got to run subtitles when he speaks. Did he ever
Speaker 10: notice that anymore?
Speaker 2: I haven't noticed that, to be honest. I'll have to
Speaker 2: keep a peak, keep an eye on that.
Speaker 10: And now, as far as the election, I think a
Speaker 10: big time skeleton is going to be drug out about
Speaker 10: hair coming up around say the tenth of October, about
Speaker 10: three four weeks before the election.
Speaker 3: Why do you say that.
Speaker 10: I think they know something and they're just holding back
Speaker 10: because it's you know, time, Lise. The closer you are
Speaker 10: to the election, the more it's in the person's mind.
Speaker 3: So let me ask you. You're in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: I read all the polls and for the different states.
Speaker 2: What's going on in Pennsylvania right now?
Speaker 3: Is that just to call?
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's closed, but I think maybe by a half
Speaker 10: percent Trump's ahead.
Speaker 5: I would say, okay.
Speaker 2: Now, some people will say, okay, the Biden administration has
Speaker 2: had a tough four years.
Speaker 3: Things were better economically under Donald Trump. What's holding Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: voters back from supporting Trump?
Speaker 10: I think his just his personality. You know, the dog comments,
Speaker 10: you know what I mean?
Speaker 11: That was really.
Speaker 10: I mean, if he would just act more presidential, he'd
Speaker 10: have it. I think in a landslide.
Speaker 3: What's going on with the Senate racedown there McCormick versus Casey.
Speaker 10: I think it's Casey just as so dug in money
Speaker 10: wise and everything that. You know, I think he has
Speaker 10: it with you know, just his years. You know, these
Speaker 10: career politicians.
Speaker 3: Are Incumbency can be an.
Speaker 5: Incredible add It's tough to be.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of.
Speaker 2: People just go to the polls and they don't know
Speaker 2: whether it's a Democrat or Republican. Now if they're voted
Speaker 2: for them once so they know their name, Oh I'm
Speaker 2: going to vote for that person.
Speaker 3: They have made a clueless sadly right.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And he's you know in our big cities were Pittsburgh
Speaker 10: and Philly, of course, you know, and I think, you know,
Speaker 10: his name is just there, you know where McCormick is
Speaker 10: kind of from the outset side, and he's uh, you know,
Speaker 10: I don't think he I mean it might be close,
Speaker 10: but I don't really think he.
Speaker 2: The Quebec might have had a better better shot in
Speaker 2: the in the Fedament race than he did. Right then
Speaker 2: then the other guy, you know doctor what the doctor
Speaker 2: what's his name, the the guy that.
Speaker 3: Ran against him?
Speaker 5: Ah oh yeah, doctor Oz right, doctor.
Speaker 10: Yeah he didn't. Yeah, he couldn't get by the you know,
Speaker 10: we used more on the outside. You know, they were
Speaker 10: just but we'll see what it should be.
Speaker 12: Uh interesting, it's we get it's six weeks, so six
Speaker 12: weeks from tonight right now, six weeks from right now,
Speaker 12: we probably will know who the next president of the
Speaker 12: United States is.
Speaker 10: I mean, like with Trumpet, I mean, what kind of
Speaker 10: skelt can skeleton. Can they bring out everything's already been
Speaker 10: out right out.
Speaker 3: Put it away? They brought it back again?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Absolutely, So now we got to see if something's brought
Speaker 10: out on her and maybe Walsh.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. I'm still trying to figure
Speaker 3: out the Walt's family thing.
Speaker 2: I kind of figure out President Trump keeps talking former
Speaker 2: President Trump keeps talking about how many members of Waltz's
Speaker 2: family are not supporting him. I still don't understand that
Speaker 2: because I saw pictures of people that said walls for Trump.
Speaker 2: But I'm told that they were like distance distant cousins.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of that stuff going on right now.
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's something you know he's a I don't know what,
Speaker 10: he's a character, A nice guy and say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a very nice way to describe it. Beggs, Dave,
Speaker 2: you are a nice guy. We'll talk soon. Thanks much,
Speaker 2: all right, thank you soon, have a great night. We'll
Speaker 2: come right back on night Side. I got Pete in
Speaker 2: South Carolina. He is coming up. Peter on Cape Cott
Speaker 2: and Bill in Pennsylvania. They're all set if you want
Speaker 2: to try to get in. There's one line at six
Speaker 2: one seven two five four ten thirty, and there's one
Speaker 2: line at six one seven nine three one ten thirty.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make your life easier. Dial away back
Speaker 3: on Nightside after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nice Sights Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: We have packed lines.
Speaker 2: We're going to try to get everybody in, so everyone's
Speaker 2: going to get trimmed just a bit, so be ready.
Speaker 2: And none of you have waited more than fourteen minutes.
Speaker 2: That's the longest person right now, so hear none of that.
Speaker 2: Pete in South Carolina, Hey, Pete, welcome back.
Speaker 5: How are you No, I'm fine, Dan at number one,
Speaker 5: Thanks for taking my call and number two. You're on
Speaker 5: speed dial for me, so I don't have to worry
Speaker 5: about funding the number. But to get on to get
Speaker 5: on topic for a few minutes. I don't think the
Speaker 5: Democratic backroom boys, for lack of a better term, are
Speaker 5: going to go to Joe and say, Joe, for the
Speaker 5: sake of the party, you know, we're gonna make Kamala president.
Speaker 5: Because there's one person that doesn't want her to see
Speaker 5: her son in jail, and that's Jill. I think she
Speaker 5: planned a big part in this.
Speaker 3: Uh by the way, that is her stepson.
Speaker 5: Just to be clear, okay, well, yes, her step son,
Speaker 5: but very very supportive.
Speaker 2: I mean she went to the trial and all of that,
Speaker 2: so she would not leave it to anyone other than
Speaker 2: her husband to go back on his word and pardon
Speaker 2: her step son.
Speaker 5: Right. I think I think Jill would say, Joe, I
Speaker 5: want cold he be in it till the end, and
Speaker 5: then the day after you get re elected or before
Speaker 5: you lose reelection, you're going to pardon her hunter.
Speaker 3: But but but he but he stepped aside despite her concerns.
Speaker 5: Right, right, he did step aside. But he still would
Speaker 5: do time.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, no doubt about that. All right, Peter,
Speaker 3: I got it, I got it. I got to do
Speaker 3: me a favorite call early. I want to know more
Speaker 3: about that.
Speaker 5: I have been. I had been my daughter and I
Speaker 5: had been doing some business things and got that home late.
Speaker 5: And I usually call earlier than this, but then that's okay.
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call either way.
Speaker 5: I'm listening Friday night. It's going to be an interesting Yeah.
Speaker 3: Eleven o'clock Friday night, no doubt, no doubt, you can
Speaker 3: call in. You know you got a hall pass even
Speaker 3: though you called in tonight. Okay, I know, right, My
Speaker 3: good night.
Speaker 2: You gotta go from Peter in South Carolina to Peter
Speaker 2: on Cape called Peter on Cape Cod next on Nice,
Speaker 2: I go ahead.
Speaker 13: Peter, Thanks Dan. I have two fact two issues that
Speaker 13: make it improbable that Joe would resign and kamlawa because
Speaker 13: go ahead. One is that she would forfeit her right
Speaker 13: if she loses to be able to not certify the election.
Speaker 13: If Trump wins, as the vice president would have that
Speaker 13: right and she, being the president wouldn't be able to
Speaker 13: do that.
Speaker 3: Interesting point, very interesting, But okay, what's the second one?
Speaker 13: The second issue is that if she becomes the president,
Speaker 13: wouldn't the Speaker of the House become the vice president.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 2: If she were to become president and then pass away,
Speaker 2: the Speaker of the House automatically would become president.
Speaker 3: No, the new vice president.
Speaker 2: If let's say she was president, they would have to
Speaker 2: elect the the House of Representatives would elect a new
Speaker 2: vice president, and it would be that it would be
Speaker 2: whoever she would nominate. It happened when Gerald Ford uh
Speaker 2: uh succeeded h Richard Nixon, and then Ford nominated Nelson
Speaker 2: Rockefeller to be his vice president. Briefly remembered Vice President
Speaker 2: Pete in the Cape. I gotta keep rolling because they
Speaker 2: got everybody else they got to get you all called
Speaker 2: in too late. Okay, he'll give you more time if earlier.
Speaker 2: Thanks be great points. Next up, let's go to Bill
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. Bill gotta be quick for me, my friend.
Speaker 10: Can you hear me?
Speaker 5: Okay, Dan, I can hear.
Speaker 2: You, fine, I want to. I want to hear from
Speaker 2: you quickly. Go ahead, Bill, it's very quickly. Okay, thanks
Speaker 2: very much.
Speaker 3: Bill.
Speaker 2: That couldn't be more quickly. Okay, callin early. We'll give
Speaker 2: you more time. Paul, you normally get a lot of time,
Speaker 2: go right ahead.
Speaker 14: Yeah, hi, hi Hi, I'm uh hi Dan. I'm the
Speaker 14: truck driver that called in when you had Harvey Silvergate
Speaker 14: on but so and and I'll get with you about
Speaker 14: about that. But yeah, it's too much drama.
Speaker 5: It's just it's it's just way, way, way way too
Speaker 5: much drama. What what you're talking about? I just I don't.
Speaker 5: I just don't.
Speaker 15: I just don't see it happening.
Speaker 9: And if you want to know what's going on in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 15: College educated, college educated women in suburban Philly are not
Speaker 15: going to vote for someone who would force women to
Speaker 15: carry their rapist babies to term. It's not gonna happen,
Speaker 15: all right.
Speaker 3: So you predicted Harris will carry Pennsylvania.
Speaker 9: I think I I think so. And I think I
Speaker 9: think I think Harris is going to.
Speaker 15: Overperform, perhaps perhaps dramatically. And Trump is so off the
Speaker 15: wall with trying to incite racist violence about the Haitians
Speaker 15: in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 3: Earlier. Give you more time. I want to get also
Speaker 3: here from my lean here. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 5: Very much, Okay, appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Leen, got thirty seconds for you. What can you do
Speaker 3: with it? You're the last caller of the night.
Speaker 6: I think I don't think.
Speaker 4: Jill would allow Chill to resign.
Speaker 13: And what.
Speaker 3: That's not a bad point, Eileen. She doesn't want them
Speaker 3: to give up, doesn't want to give up the Lincoln bedroom.
Speaker 3: I Leen, call early. I'll give you more time, but
Speaker 3: I'm flat out of time. Thank you so much. Okay,
Speaker 3: there she goes. She could have said goodbye, done for
Speaker 3: the night. Thank you all who called. We should called earlier.
Speaker 3: Thank you all who listened. And Rob, thank you, and
Speaker 3: thank you Marita. How much time left? Rob? Give it
Speaker 3: to me quick? Thirty seconds? Okay, here we go.
Speaker 2: I'll be on Facebook in about two minutes and Marita
Speaker 2: will be here tomorrow afternoon at four thirty.
Speaker 3: All dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's
Speaker 3: what my pal Charlie Rais would past fourteen years ago
Speaker 3: in February. That's where all your pets are. Who would pass.
Speaker 3: They loved you and you love them. I do believe
Speaker 3: you'll see them again, hope.
