Speaker 1: It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: I kind of keeping a look out of the court
Speaker 3: of my eye. At the Democratic National Gas Joe Biden
Speaker 3: was supposed to give his swan song, his his his, well,
Speaker 3: not his final speech as president, but certainly his final
Speaker 3: speech to a Democratic National convention. It's now eleven nine
Speaker 3: or eleven oh eight, and they haven't let him up
Speaker 3: there yet. Chris Coons, Uh, the senator from Delaware, one
Speaker 3: of the two senators from Delaware, is up there speaking.
Speaker 3: This is cruel. It's like, give him its time. Half
Speaker 3: of Americas has already turned in and gone to bed,
Speaker 3: but we got an hour left to go, and let's
Speaker 3: keep rolling. Six one, seven, triple eight, nine to nine,
Speaker 3: ten thirty. We're talking about the choice. We're left with
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, who you know, seems to be I think
Speaker 3: running for I don't know, the host of the Tonight
Speaker 3: Show or something. And Don Rickles, and we have Vice
Speaker 3: President Harris who seems to be on economic issues. Just
Speaker 3: throwing it out there, throwing it out there. We'll smash
Speaker 3: people's patents, we'll take their patents, we'll we'll tell people
Speaker 3: what they can produce and what they can charge for
Speaker 3: I mean, talk about a command and controlled economy. If
Speaker 3: Venzuela here we come. Let's let me go to Joe
Speaker 3: and to Joe. You're next on Nightside.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Thanks Dan Vern it's great show you. I just
Speaker 4: said two quick points.
Speaker 5: The first one is talking about, you know, the choice
Speaker 5: we have to make picking your poison. I think that
Speaker 5: you know this is this terrible choice in the last
Speaker 5: one was just as bad. And even going back to
Speaker 5: the first Trump against Hillary. Yeah, we have the news
Speaker 5: between two very bad candidates. But I don't think the
Speaker 5: candidates are the problem. I think they're the result of
Speaker 5: the problem. And the problem is the political system in
Speaker 5: our country is so broken and so corrupt that the
Speaker 5: only natural result is flawed terrible candidates.
Speaker 3: You might be right, I just don't understand. They're smart
Speaker 3: people in both parties, in the Democratic Party and the
Speaker 3: Republican Party. And it seems that if I don't know,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Donald Trump kind of steamrolled the
Speaker 3: Republican Party in twenty sixteen. I didn't think that he
Speaker 3: was going to be nominated by the Republican Ard. He's
Speaker 3: changed the focus of the Republican Party. Joe Biden campaigned
Speaker 3: from his basement and somehow won that election. And now
Speaker 3: I refer to the vice president's nomination, you know, presidential
Speaker 3: nomination as the immaculate nomination. It's miraculous. Never raised money,
Speaker 3: never got to vote for president, to win me delegates,
Speaker 3: and now she's the nominee of the party. I think
Speaker 3: about what Mike Doucaccus went through in the campaign trail.
Speaker 3: I covered that in nineteen eighty eight. Uh, you know
Speaker 3: what what Bill Clinton went through in the campaign trail
Speaker 3: to win the nomination, What President Obama went through he
Speaker 3: had to defeat Hillary Clinton in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3: And Joe Biden. I mean, it's been a cake walk
Speaker 3: for for Vice President Harris.
Speaker 5: And that's the thing I don't understand, Like it just
Speaker 5: seems like there's someone or some people behind the you know,
Speaker 5: pulling strings with the you know, like the puppet strings making.
Speaker 3: Read marine read marine. Dowds call him in the in
Speaker 3: the New York Times this past weekend on Saturday. The
Speaker 3: Dems are delighted. But a coup is still a coup.
Speaker 3: I mean, at poor Joe Biden. They could have they
Speaker 3: put it got him on tonight at nine. They're just
Speaker 3: speaker after speaker after speaker. This reminds me of George
Speaker 3: mcgovernor in nineteen seventy two when they didn't finally nominate
Speaker 3: George McGovern until about two thirty in the morning, and
Speaker 3: he spoke to you to the nation that had gone
Speaker 3: to sleep. I think it was still prime time in
Speaker 3: Hawaii and parts of Alaska.
Speaker 5: Well, that's what you do when you're trying to do
Speaker 5: something sneaky, you do it when no one's looking.
Speaker 3: I guess so, I guess so.
Speaker 5: I mean, to my point, like you said, when's the
Speaker 5: next Reagan or the next Kennedy, I don't think there's
Speaker 5: ever going to be one, because I don't think the
Speaker 5: system is designed to push those people forward.
Speaker 3: I fear you're right, to be honest with you, because
Speaker 3: I don't think that we're getting the best in the brightest.
Speaker 3: I don't think we're getting the best in the brightest
Speaker 3: in the political arena period. We're getting ideologues either from
Speaker 3: the far right or the far left. I mean, look
Speaker 3: at Senator Warren in Massachusetts, you know, I mean talk
Speaker 3: about a lightweight my.
Speaker 5: Opinion, Well, honestly, Dan, the best and the brightest people
Speaker 5: wouldn't want to put themselves through this. I don't think yeah,
Speaker 5: because it's it's not a pleasant process to go through,
Speaker 5: and I think people say, hey, I don't need that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, well it's it's raising money and all you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's I guess it's it's the worst system in
Speaker 3: the world, but it's better than all the rest. I
Speaker 3: don't know how to I think you make great points.
Speaker 3: I can't disagree with you. Joe. Appreciate your calling as always.
Speaker 3: I hope you keep calling the show.
Speaker 6: Thanks all.
Speaker 3: I love the show man, Thank you much, appreciate it.
Speaker 6: All.
Speaker 3: Right, day, take a very quick break. Well, we might
Speaker 3: be getting closer to Joe Biden here. We'll see. We're
Speaker 3: not going to play his speech for you, but you
Speaker 3: know it'll be uh please stay with us. We'll be
Speaker 3: back at night Side right after this.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 2: in Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Taking them as they come. Let's go to Sandy in
Speaker 3: West Roxbury. Sandy, welcome back. How are you.
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 8: Excuse me, very well? Thank you?
Speaker 3: How are you right ahead? What's your take on all
Speaker 3: of this tonight?
Speaker 8: Well, I have two things to say, as bad and inventile,
Speaker 8: as Trump's remarks are it's better that stupid warding and
Speaker 8: that word stupid again, that infantile warding as opposed to
Speaker 8: people shooting each other. And in the first his first
Speaker 8: four years, I mean, he was constantly picking fights and
Speaker 8: being ridiculous in his warding. But the world was quiet,
Speaker 8: and I think that's part of his strategy. And the
Speaker 8: other thing I want to say is that this has
Speaker 8: really irked me for a long time. The Democrats keep saying,
Speaker 8: we have to say about democracy. We don't have democracy.
Speaker 8: We never did have a democracy. If you read the Constitution,
Speaker 8: shouldn't the word democracy is not even in there. We
Speaker 8: have a republic, and it seems like people either don't
Speaker 8: know that or have forgotten that. And purposely we don't
Speaker 8: have a democracy because the founding fathers did not feel
Speaker 8: that rule by the masses was anything to aim for.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing, the other thing too, just to
Speaker 3: make to support your point, is I don't think that
Speaker 3: the the immaculate nomination of Vice President Harris is the process.
Speaker 3: It was a democratic process.
Speaker 8: Well, nothing the Democrats do is democratic, back back room politics.
Speaker 3: And as Maureen Dawd says Uh said in the in
Speaker 3: The New York Times on Saturday. The Dems are delighted,
Speaker 3: But a coup is still a coup, if you call
Speaker 3: a coup. Yeah, Pelosi and Schumer and uh, you know
Speaker 3: various other you know, George Clooney, you know, people of
Speaker 3: influence within Democratic Party.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I don't pretend to have read all of the
Speaker 8: Federalist papers, but I read enough of them to get
Speaker 8: the gist of it. But the main point that they said,
Speaker 8: which is just so true, if all people were angels,
Speaker 8: we would need a constitution, and if all people were devils,
Speaker 8: then no constitution would work anyway. And so you have
Speaker 8: to find something in the middle, you know. And I
Speaker 8: think they've done a pretty good job. You're right. I
Speaker 8: mean it would be different if we had different candidates,
Speaker 8: But given the candidates we have, I mean, Trump, I
Speaker 8: think is infantile, there's no question about it, but he
Speaker 8: knows how to run the world.
Speaker 3: Well. Again, everybody's going to make their own decision. I
Speaker 3: just I'm looking at the choices tonight and not feeling
Speaker 3: especially inspired.
Speaker 8: No, but you know that if we get Harris in
Speaker 8: that the world is going to go insane because they're
Speaker 8: going to judge are totally incompetent as they did by then,
Speaker 8: and they're just going to keep on encroaching the bad guys,
Speaker 8: as we say, and that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: It's troubling. It's troubling no matter what. As always, I
Speaker 3: appreciate your call, Sandy, Thank you much.
Speaker 8: All right, you take care, talk to you soon.
Speaker 3: Have a great night.
Speaker 6: Night.
Speaker 3: All right, good night. Let's keep rolling here. I'm going
Speaker 3: to try to sneak one in here before the news
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the hour. Theodore in Baltimore. Theodore,
Speaker 3: I don't once you have to wait through the news.
Speaker 9: Go right ahead, can you hear me?
Speaker 3: I can hear you? Find theatre? Go right ahead.
Speaker 9: I'm listening to your caller. Them the monica that you
Speaker 9: gave land to the people. They who were clapping in
Speaker 9: the orders. I wouldn't call them dumb. I just I
Speaker 9: just call them there please with the candidates and then
Speaker 9: reference to the candidates.
Speaker 3: Well, the reason I don't know if I if I
Speaker 3: use the word dumb, I probably shouldn't have, but I
Speaker 3: would say that it reminds me almost theater of a
Speaker 3: bad movie script. I mean, it's like if you liked me,
Speaker 3: I promise I mean, if we're going to give twenty
Speaker 3: five hous thousand dollars for people, you know, which is insane,
Speaker 3: but that's economically insane. Why not give twenty thousand dollars
Speaker 3: for people who need new cars?
Speaker 1: Y know?
Speaker 3: Why not give ten thousand dollars for people who would
Speaker 3: like season tickets to the Ravens games or something.
Speaker 9: I understand that that's people make promises that in many
Speaker 9: cases can't go forward when they are elected. But I'm
Speaker 9: looking at the candidates, and I'm looking at a man
Speaker 9: who told people like me who caught COVID that I
Speaker 9: should inject bleach. He did not expect.
Speaker 3: You know what's funny. It's funny. I'm waiting for someone
Speaker 3: to bring this up. Okay, do me a favor. He
Speaker 3: never said that, okay. And I'm not here to defend
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Okay, But I have in.
Speaker 9: Front of the path conference I have in front.
Speaker 3: Of me, Okay, I have in front of me a
Speaker 3: fact check on that he was at a news conference.
Speaker 3: You're correct in which another gentleman an expert named William Bryan. Okay,
Speaker 3: he was under under Secretary for Science and Technology at
Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security. Okay, Brian speaks first, and
Speaker 3: Trump spoke after him. Brian said that his team had
Speaker 3: done some experiments that found that sun exposure and disinfectants,
Speaker 3: and I remember this news conference the cleaning agents like
Speaker 3: bleach could kill COVID nineteen on surfaces. Remember there was
Speaker 3: the whole conversation about did you get it through the air.
Speaker 3: We found out it eventually was like earborne. So Brian
Speaker 3: steps aside, concludes his research. Trump takes the mic and
Speaker 3: sort of riffs. As Trump does, he's looking back and
Speaker 3: forth at reporters, and then Brian, who's sitting off to
Speaker 3: the side. Trump says, speaking to reporters, you know a
Speaker 3: question that a lot of you are probably thinking, is
Speaker 3: that if we hit the body this now is, in
Speaker 3: Trump's words, with a tremendous ultra violet, a very powerful light.
Speaker 3: And I'm sort of paraphacting here for the sake of clarity.
Speaker 3: Then he turns to Brian and he says, that hasn't
Speaker 3: been checked, but you're gonna test it, which you can
Speaker 3: do either through the skin or some other way. And
Speaker 3: I think you said you're gonna test That sounds interesting, right.
Speaker 3: He goes on and he says, I see the disinfected
Speaker 3: word knocks it out in one minute. Is there a
Speaker 3: way we could do something like that by injection inside
Speaker 3: or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in
Speaker 3: the lungs. Trump is referring to the virus. He goes
Speaker 3: on a tremendous number of the lungs. And I think
Speaker 3: it's been interesting. It's typical. He never says that you're
Speaker 3: gonna inject bleach. Okay, And if you can find me
Speaker 3: the SoundBite where Donald Trump says, I recommend to the
Speaker 3: American people that they inject bleach, send it to me, Theodore.
Speaker 3: I will have you on the show as a guest host.
Speaker 9: Well, guess what, Dan, he said, this is gonna be
Speaker 9: over fifteen minutes now. In reference to him going on
Speaker 9: some flights of fancy, if you want to call it,
Speaker 9: when he's at the kodium, to me, he's sing out.
Speaker 9: And this man even made comments about his own daughter
Speaker 9: being attractive to him, and I.
Speaker 3: Will understand, and and and you were both find to
Speaker 3: be repulsive. And then and then you have Joe Biden,
Speaker 3: who was who apparently has had a a tendency to
Speaker 3: kind of struggle with with young girls.
Speaker 9: And yes, and I'm a Christian and I'm a former serviceman,
Speaker 9: and I'm gonna tell you that you can't get the
Speaker 9: people who says the he he tells the Christians the
Speaker 9: vote and every Sunday when they come on television and
Speaker 9: getting their pulpits, and they talk about some of the
Speaker 9: patriarchs who fell, and they are willing to set aside
Speaker 9: this man's lion, this man's adultery, this man and absolutely
Speaker 9: being unfit mentally for the post. They give a very
Speaker 9: lie to the profession on which which they stand up
Speaker 9: in front of people. And and and uh and a
Speaker 9: spouse and I'm a serviceman. When he said that the
Speaker 9: middle of honor is no more worth than a presidential
Speaker 9: uh he gives to politicians like miss Adelson. That offended many.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they get they get the Presidential Medal of you.
Speaker 3: You and I are in complete agreement. Theater, Okay, they
Speaker 3: get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to athletes, to two
Speaker 3: movie stars, to to a variety of people. The medal
Speaker 3: of honor you and I both know is it isn't one.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: It is earned because of the valor and this and
Speaker 3: the situation and the circumstances that that men men and
Speaker 3: women in the military put themselves uh in such great danger,
Speaker 3: and all I.
Speaker 9: Didn't earn one. I wasn't worthy of one because of
Speaker 9: the position that I had in the military. But for
Speaker 9: a friend of mine who got killed over there, and
Speaker 9: other people got family members coming him from a man
Speaker 9: who got a doctor to say he had bone spurs
Speaker 9: to avoid the draft, where he had nothing wrong with him.
Speaker 9: He called He called a mister h a senator who
Speaker 9: was the senator from Arizona, McCain. He said he was
Speaker 9: a loser. He called men in the military who died losers.
Speaker 9: I have no respect I'm looking at.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to argue with Theodore, not arguing on
Speaker 3: that at all. But I just think between the between
Speaker 3: the two of them, I can raise issues about Harris here.
Speaker 6: That's true, you know.
Speaker 9: I mean another point I like to bring up, which
Speaker 9: in reference to fascism capitalism, just I'll give you I
Speaker 9: found out not I'm not a serious study about this,
Speaker 9: but I I found out for it. And I'll give
Speaker 9: an example. In nineteen ninety six, Eunieva Strauss made eight
Speaker 9: hundred million dollars profit. Two years later they made six
Speaker 9: hundred million. They screamed the dividends. One's big enough, the
Speaker 9: person is big enough. They called an chainsaw our dunlap.
Speaker 9: And that's why Levi Strauss doesn't even make games in
Speaker 9: this country. There is something to be said, and I
Speaker 9: lost a good frint over this. There's something to be
Speaker 9: seid for putting the reins on capitalism, which said, as
Speaker 9: long as you're le you could do anything you want.
Speaker 3: There's there's plenty of range. There's plenty, you know, Theodore,
Speaker 3: there's plenty of rangs on capitalism. Okay, we do not
Speaker 3: have what you would call unfettered capitalism. Okay, corporations pay taxes,
Speaker 3: wealthy individuals paid taxes. They pay more taxes than you
Speaker 3: and I do. Maybe you want to see them pay more.
Speaker 3: But capitalism has given the world a greater standard of
Speaker 3: living than any other economic system invented by men or woman.
Speaker 9: But I would like you to respond to this last
Speaker 9: comics where I go. First of all, if they took
Speaker 9: the camp off of fighter, social security, ladies and gentlemen
Speaker 9: would be solving for one thousand years. Right now, guy
Speaker 9: makes billions of dollars. He only has to pay fighter
Speaker 9: taxes on like what said one hundred and eighty something
Speaker 9: thousand dollars. But the Republicans will not. They will not
Speaker 9: do that in Congress. And that's why they scare us
Speaker 9: about Social Security, having our checks cut and not having
Speaker 9: enough to pay people their benefits. So I think they
Speaker 9: need a course on that. And Dan, once again, you
Speaker 9: get the best. You get my medal of honor for
Speaker 9: being a great talk show.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: One thing I do try to allow people like you
Speaker 3: who who have something to say and say it well,
Speaker 3: an opportunity to I'm going to disagree with you on
Speaker 3: most things, as you know. And uh, and and we'll
Speaker 3: we'll again part his friends, and I'll look forward to
Speaker 3: our next phone phone conversation.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, have a great night, you.
Speaker 3: Too, theater. I have a great one. Okay, let's keep
Speaker 3: rolling here. We're gonna get one more in before the break.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna make Tim and Taunt wait any longer.
Speaker 3: Tim Europe and Europe on nights. I go ahead, Tim,
Speaker 3: damn good, anything away you I'm doing just great. Tim,
Speaker 3: co ahead, sir good.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be going into diplomatic global drive and say, uh,
Speaker 1: I'm not overjoyed about either of the candidates. To just
Speaker 1: leave it at down, I'll say no, more fair enough
Speaker 1: specific topic, but I have concern where we stand on
Speaker 1: the world stage. I think there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that potentially occurrent in the coming you know, four year,
Speaker 1: regardless of.
Speaker 3: Who's end with the term always will yet there's always
Speaker 3: things we haven't thought of that will happen. I couldn't
Speaker 3: agree with you more.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, obviously we have the situation in Ukraine,
Speaker 1: but I think there's other parts, specifically in Asia, that
Speaker 1: are also potentially able to kick off yep. And I
Speaker 1: have concern about who's going to be in that position.
Speaker 1: And I think either way you should get everyone a
Speaker 1: bit of pause, because I'm not confident and I'm sure
Speaker 1: many others are not that there's a lot of answers.
Speaker 3: Well, I agree with you. I think that Taiwan is
Speaker 3: a tinder box. The Chinese obviously have their eye on Taiwan.
Speaker 3: How are we going to handle that? You got Ukraine?
Speaker 3: Who knows where that's going to end up. We've seen
Speaker 3: some very interesting developments in the last couple of weeks
Speaker 3: with Ukraine now actually holding Russian territory. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: a and and needless to say, the Middle East is
Speaker 3: always always a problem. You going on and on, and
Speaker 3: there's stuff that you and I can't even imagine that's
Speaker 3: going to happen in the next four years.
Speaker 1: Sit exactly and to the Middle East just quickly, good
Speaker 1: great grandchildren's great grandchildren probably won't no peace there exadly.
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree, But somehow, some way, the Palestinians
Speaker 3: and the Israelis have to figure out some way in
Speaker 3: which they at least can tolerate one another and coexist
Speaker 3: as opposed to more October sevenths. There's no doubt about
Speaker 3: that in my opinion. Okay, you can't allow a terrorist
Speaker 3: attack taking twelve hundred people's, innocent, innocent people's lives and
Speaker 3: expect Israel to sit back and say, well, you know,
Speaker 3: we can tolerate the loss of twelve hundred people, but
Speaker 3: don't do it again, and we might do something to you.
Speaker 1: Right, And to think there would be any other outcome
Speaker 1: other than what has happened is I'll be a bit naive.
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with you more. It's it's it's tough,
Speaker 3: and I mean again, give me a Jack Kennedy, give
Speaker 3: me a Ronald Reagan. I don't I don't see any
Speaker 3: of them. I don't see I don't see Kennedy. I
Speaker 3: don't see a Ronald Reagan out there in either party.
Speaker 1: No, I agree, And this is going back a little further.
Speaker 1: And I know they were not particularly fond of one another,
Speaker 1: but give me Dwight Eisenhower and Jack Kennedy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they were very respectful of each other.
Speaker 3: I mean I I think that they might have been. Again,
Speaker 3: Eisenhower obviously functioned in one part of the world during
Speaker 3: World War Two. Kennedy was in a different part of
Speaker 3: the world. But I think that down deep, they must
Speaker 3: have both respected their service and their sacrifice of the
Speaker 3: other person. In my opinion. Thank you, Thanks Tim, talk soon,
Speaker 3: please call again. Thank you much. Okay, the only line
Speaker 3: open right now is the one that Tim just vacated,
Speaker 3: which is six one, seven thirty. I got two lines there,
Speaker 3: seven nine thirty. If you're on the line, Matt, Martha, Joe,
Speaker 3: you're all set. We're gonna get you in. And if
Speaker 3: you're not in the line six one seven nine thirty,
Speaker 3: we're kind of talking about what the reality is right now.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden is finally speaking. Okay, good for him. Stay
Speaker 3: with us. We're more interesting. Thank you.
Speaker 2: It's night Side with Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, next up, Thank you very much, Dan Watkins.
Speaker 3: Martha in Gloucester, who says she is a first time caller. Martha,
Speaker 3: welcome to Night's Side. How are you.
Speaker 6: Uh speaking to glocester?
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, okay, that's my thank you.
Speaker 3: Are you Are you a first time before you go
Speaker 3: mark before you speak? Are you a first time caller?
Speaker 3: If you are, we want to welcome you.
Speaker 11: Yes, I am a first time caller.
Speaker 3: We give you a round up applause from our digital
Speaker 3: studio audience. Let's get the studio audience apping the rob
Speaker 3: right ahead. Martha, thank you, you're welcome right ahead.
Speaker 11: Okay, you were speaking about Koma wanting to do something
Speaker 11: and put rains on capitalism or something.
Speaker 3: Well, she's talking, yeah, I think that she would like
Speaker 3: a command economy and talking about you know, promising twenty
Speaker 3: five dollars for houses and this and that is like
Speaker 3: you know that that's just not the way the world
Speaker 3: works right now in North that's and we're going to
Speaker 3: control supermarket prices. They control supermarket prices in Venezuela and
Speaker 3: in Russia, and try try finding anything in a supermarket.
Speaker 11: Okay, Now, when back in the Obama days, the car
Speaker 11: industry was in great trouble and the goverman stepped in
Speaker 11: and did something, and the car industry did a turnaround
Speaker 11: and bounced back. No, couldn't Kamla be speaking on that
Speaker 11: type of a level.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that that I happen to
Speaker 3: have a viewpoint which is probably somewhat different than the
Speaker 3: Vice president and may be different than yours, and that
Speaker 3: is that in this country, innovation and inventive and inventions
Speaker 3: and things like that or what happened. So there are
Speaker 3: certain cars that come on the market and they go
Speaker 3: out of business, and I don't think it's the role
Speaker 3: of the government to come in and support the sale
Speaker 3: of ed cels if the public doesn't like ed cels.
Speaker 4: And I think I agree on that.
Speaker 11: But didn't Obama really do something that listed the car
Speaker 11: industry in general up a level and out of going
Speaker 11: under I don't think the.
Speaker 3: Car the car industry was going under Marthor I don't
Speaker 3: recall specifically what you're referring to. We have, we have
Speaker 3: competition coming in from other countries, you know, cars that
Speaker 3: come in from from Europe and from Japan, and we
Speaker 3: have to somehow compete against those cars. A lot of
Speaker 3: the automotive manufacturers relocate from from states like Michigan. A
Speaker 3: lot of cars that used to be produced in Michigan
Speaker 3: now or Ohio now are produced in in in southern states. Uh.
Speaker 3: It's it's a very complicated issue. It's not as if
Speaker 3: the president can just write a check and say, let's
Speaker 3: give the car industry, uh, you know, five hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 3: Because the car industry is either going to succeed or
Speaker 3: fail on its own. We're always going to buy cars.
Speaker 11: And I've thought I thought Obama did something that helped
Speaker 11: the car industry.
Speaker 3: Well, I got to be honest with you, I don't
Speaker 3: recall it. And if someone wants to share what he
Speaker 3: did to help the car industry. There are things that
Speaker 3: I know that Trump has said that he wants to
Speaker 3: put tariffs on cars that are made in Mexico. There
Speaker 3: are apparently Chinese car companies that are Chinese companies that
Speaker 3: are building car manufacturing plants in Mexico and are hoping
Speaker 3: to flood the American market with less expensive cars. And
Speaker 3: Trump has said he will save the American car industry
Speaker 3: because he will put tariffs on those cars. That's different
Speaker 3: than giving money away or trying to support one industry
Speaker 3: over another. I don't think the car industry has ever
Speaker 3: really been in trouble in this country since Henry Ford
Speaker 3: came up with the model t Ford, in my opinion,
Speaker 3: to come up with the assembly line.
Speaker 11: Okay, Well, anyway, I just wanted to bring that up.
Speaker 11: I don't I'm not a historian to be able.
Speaker 3: To well if someone if someone wants to reinforce what
Speaker 3: you have to say and and want to come up
Speaker 3: with a specific I'd be happy to chat with them.
Speaker 3: But I appreciate you taking the time to call. My
Speaker 3: attitude is that I don't care what the product is.
Speaker 3: The government does have some responsibilities. I mean, no private
Speaker 3: company is going to build the interstate highway system. I
Speaker 3: get that, okay, and by building the interstate highway system
Speaker 3: that was a tremendous boost to the car industry back
Speaker 3: in the nineteen fifties. But I don't want to see
Speaker 3: the government picking winners and losers and saying, well, let's
Speaker 3: let's support Volkswagen over Chrysler, or let's support Mercedes Benz
Speaker 3: over over Ferraris. I just think that let let those
Speaker 3: companies compete and produce better automobiles at better prices and
Speaker 3: swayed more American people more Americans to drive. I'm I've
Speaker 3: always been a Vovo driver. I don't know. Do you
Speaker 3: have a favorite car that you type drive, car type
Speaker 3: model that you will make that you drive.
Speaker 11: I am currently like the Kia Soul, but I don't
Speaker 11: drive because of my eyesight.
Speaker 7: Right now.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is I've driven. I've driven Vovos for
Speaker 3: thirty five forty years. I'm not happy with Vovos anymore,
Speaker 3: and I'm my next car will not be a Vovo,
Speaker 3: but I only because Vovo has been sold. It's no
Speaker 3: longer the Swedish manufacturer. I'm not even sure where they
Speaker 3: make Vovos anymore. When Volvo in the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 3: they produce great cars, but I think that the cars
Speaker 3: they're producing now are not as good as they once were.
Speaker 3: So I'm looking. I'm looking at my next car probably
Speaker 3: will not be a Volvo after having been a loyal Vovo,
Speaker 3: and that's what the marketplace is about. You know, I've
Speaker 3: lost confidence in Vovo, So I'm going to look at
Speaker 3: another type, another make of cars that that I think
Speaker 3: is probably better than e Voval these days. That's that's.
Speaker 11: My favorite car was a Toyota land Cruiser because I
Speaker 11: had a motorcycle and I wanted to lug it around
Speaker 11: on the car, and I was not allowed to keep
Speaker 11: that car, and I went to Toyota Corona, which I
Speaker 11: had for ten years, and it was serviceable, but it
Speaker 11: wasn't the land Cruises that I really liked.
Speaker 3: Well, the point that I'm trying to make is that
Speaker 3: it's up to the consumers, to you and me to
Speaker 3: decide which cars to which car company survived. It's not
Speaker 3: up to the government to pick winners and loses. That's
Speaker 3: as simple as I can make my comment. Okay, okay, thanks, thanks.
Speaker 11: I appreciate your opinion, and I like it when your
Speaker 11: shows include multiple sides of issues.
Speaker 3: That's what we're trying to do every night of the week.
Speaker 3: Everyone's welcome, Everyone's welcome. I might agree or disagree with you,
Speaker 3: but come on, bring it on. Okay, thanks Martha, Okay,
Speaker 3: thank you, all right, have a great night. Let me
Speaker 3: go to Matt. Matt is in Brighton. Matt, You're next
Speaker 3: time nightsager, right ahead.
Speaker 12: Hey you done good, Matt. Welcome, So I'm watching, you know, well,
Speaker 12: I was waiting to get on. I'm watching, you know, Biden,
Speaker 12: and we'll lead up to him speaking, and I must.
Speaker 4: Say, you know, it's just such a queer.
Speaker 12: Just his health, I mean, how he looks. He can
Speaker 12: barely keep it together right now. And you know the reaction,
Speaker 12: and I think this speaks a lot because you know,
Speaker 12: it's something about psychology and how Kamala Harris and Kim
Speaker 12: Walls are reacting to all. This lead up is just
Speaker 12: so programmed and so fake about what they're saying. And
Speaker 12: I think this is where it's the first day, this
Speaker 12: is the end. It's eleven forty five, and it's scary, Dan,
Speaker 12: It's scary. It doesn't it doesn't speak to the side
Speaker 12: that cared about America.
Speaker 3: Kind I think I just think the Democrats probably have
Speaker 3: a different view of what America should be than than
Speaker 3: you might have. I mean, you know, Joe.
Speaker 4: Biden, you know you're right. I shouldn't say it like that.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't say it like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they have a different view in that.
Speaker 3: And that's been that's been the history of this country.
Speaker 3: There's a you know again, conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican whatever
Speaker 3: you want to call it. And you know, Joe Biden
Speaker 3: is this is his his swan song, This is his
Speaker 3: final speech before the Democratic Democratic National Convention. MI understanding
Speaker 3: is he gets on a plane tonight and flies to
Speaker 3: vacation in California. And I'm sure to some extent he
Speaker 3: probably feels relieved that it's over. I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe he sounds as good to me. I listened
Speaker 3: a little bit. I thought he sounded it's good to
Speaker 3: me tonight then than he has in months.
Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean, I it's you know, as he
Speaker 12: went on for the beginning, now is you know we speak,
Speaker 12: he's he's going on a bit longer. But for a
Speaker 12: while there he just looked like he had put on quote.
Speaker 12: I mean, it's not it's not really bad that, but
Speaker 12: quite a bit of weight and just was really.
Speaker 4: Out of it.
Speaker 12: But you know, for I guess my main point here
Speaker 12: being a lot of people, and I've said this before
Speaker 12: when I called in a lot of people are going
Speaker 12: to put down with.
Speaker 4: Trump is done.
Speaker 12: And Trump has said some of the you know, actions
Speaker 12: he may have done and his personal like may not
Speaker 12: have done. I still stand by the sentiment that either side,
Speaker 12: wherever you have everybody has their works in their closet.
Speaker 12: If you provide America and people with a better life,
Speaker 12: that's the job of in my opinion of the president.
Speaker 4: They're not.
Speaker 3: Like that your standard and obviously Theodore feels quite differently
Speaker 3: done in Baltimore. He expressed it very forcefully, and you
Speaker 3: have expressed it very well. And eventually the country's got
Speaker 3: to make a decision, and it's a it's.
Speaker 4: A loser.
Speaker 12: He you know, some of this things he said. I
Speaker 12: understand what he's coming from, a respect in service, and
Speaker 12: he has a he's very strong spoken. I've heard him
Speaker 12: call and respect what he has to say. But he
Speaker 12: did not mccalle and McCain a loser. He's gonna kame
Speaker 12: was captured.
Speaker 6: You know, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't like people that were captured. Yeah, that was
Speaker 4: totally war hero, totally inappropriate.
Speaker 3: Totally inappropriate. This is a guy who had a bone
Speaker 3: spur and didn't serve McCain spent whatever it was, three
Speaker 3: four years in captivity in the Hainois Hilton.
Speaker 12: I mean, how I like Again, there's no there's no
Speaker 12: justifying it. But it's the same as the you know,
Speaker 12: the same thing as the chlorox as as that was saying,
Speaker 12: spinning the words as you know, it might not have
Speaker 12: been smart for him to say, but make sure you
Speaker 12: catch him for exactly the words he said and the
Speaker 12: condemnations that he should not have said.
Speaker 3: But not I can defend I can defend Donald Trump
Speaker 3: as I did on the on the Bleach injection because
Speaker 3: he never said that. But but but he filed the
Speaker 3: service of McCain and McCain who who actually was offered
Speaker 3: freedom by the North Field of the MEAs because his
Speaker 3: dad was an admiral and he refused it. McCain was
Speaker 3: a hero, you know, from the point of a military hero,
Speaker 3: and just inappropriate. I mean, just you know, the comments
Speaker 3: over the weekend, I'm better looking to Kamala Harrison, Come on,
Speaker 3: I mean you mean yeah.
Speaker 12: I mean it's it's almost like how the president should be.
Speaker 12: But but if he does better, is my point for Americas?
Speaker 7: Is that right?
Speaker 3: But I'll talk like that, he's not. He's not going
Speaker 3: to get a second chance of becoming a president again
Speaker 3: because enough people are going to be turned off by it.
Speaker 3: Simple as that. Man, I got it run. I got
Speaker 3: you before the break, but I got it run.
Speaker 12: And let me ask you, very very quick, very quick.
Speaker 12: Do you think that as any cog this is the question.
Speaker 12: I really don't have an opinion. Do you think that Trump's,
Speaker 12: you know, being that way, he's cognitive at all, getting worse,
Speaker 12: more more defensive and attacking like that.
Speaker 4: Everything is just his natural behavior, as I have to.
Speaker 3: Think it's his natural behavior. But I think it's very
Speaker 3: off putting.
Speaker 12: All right, all right, thank you again. I want to
Speaker 12: make sure I respect McCain, and I did not agree
Speaker 12: with what Trum said. I just meant to say that
Speaker 12: he did not call him a loser, as a quote unquote.
Speaker 3: We referred to he allegedly, and I did. I heard
Speaker 3: what he said about McCain. I didn't hear what he said,
Speaker 3: but he was quoted. I think. I think it was
Speaker 3: General Kelly, who was his chief of staff, and he
Speaker 3: said something about the people who had died in World
Speaker 3: War two were losing.
Speaker 4: I don't like people that were captured. Yeah, okay, I don't.
Speaker 3: Gotta go, man, I gotta go. I got three calls
Speaker 3: behind you, man, I'll talk to you soon. Okay, thank
Speaker 3: you much. We got We're gonna get Steve, Joe and Trevor,
Speaker 3: and I promise we'll be back. It won't be easy,
Speaker 3: but we'll get him all in coming back on night Side.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Way live from the Window World
Speaker 2: Nice than Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: My four callers. I want to give everyone a minute.
Speaker 3: I just want to listen to what you have to say.
Speaker 3: Let me start it with Joe and Adlborough. Joe set
Speaker 3: the pace for us. I know it's getting tight, but
Speaker 3: you go right ahead.
Speaker 10: Cash for Conkers was Obama is bailout of the auto industry,
Speaker 10: which expedited the closure of your cornic A lot of
Speaker 10: closure cornic garages. I'm not going to change anyone's mind
Speaker 10: about who to vote for. I realized Trump is not
Speaker 10: a nice man, but he's a world leader. There's no
Speaker 10: wars under his his term. It is akin to Ron
Speaker 10: Reagan when he was nodding off at those world leadership conferences,
Speaker 10: but no foreign leaders pulled anything over over his eyes.
Speaker 10: The Democrats just lied to us over the years. There's
Speaker 10: just too many things to a berth doll, Afghanistan and
Speaker 10: that wid nomics. If you have an opportunity to go
Speaker 10: grocery shopping during the week, you'll see our scene is
Speaker 10: struggling to buy, to buy their groceries. They're they're up
Speaker 10: against it.
Speaker 3: All right, Joe, you got it in in a minute.
Speaker 3: Next time you call, I give you more time. But
Speaker 3: I got to get three other callers in as well.
Speaker 3: Thank you for well. You'd be wild too. Next up
Speaker 3: is Trevor and Drake and Trevor next on nights.
Speaker 6: I go right ahead, Hey there, Dan, my name is Trevor.
Speaker 6: I'm just calling for the first time, but I.
Speaker 3: Give the quest of the clause the one ahead, Drivor.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 6: My comment is more about the election. I'm finding that
Speaker 6: I think Kamala is really succeeding over Donald Trump in
Speaker 6: a way that previous candidates, you know, whether when it
Speaker 6: was Joe was running in twenty twenty four or Hillary
Speaker 6: in twenty sixteen. I think she's really capitalizing on number
Speaker 6: one or younger generation of voters, but also, you know,
Speaker 6: echoing what a lot of her party is saying in
Speaker 6: a way that I feel like Hillary and even Joe
Speaker 6: Biden had a disconnect to. And I feel like the
Speaker 6: kind of the novelty of Trump's run in twenty sixteen
Speaker 6: is maybe worn off a little bit. I think he's
Speaker 6: She's really succeeding where some of his failings are showing.
Speaker 13: That's all right.
Speaker 3: You got it all in and under a minute. I
Speaker 3: appreciate you doing that. Next time you call it, give
Speaker 3: you more time, Thanks Trevor, thank you, Thank you. Steven Bridgewater.
Speaker 3: You gotta be quick, Steve, got one more behind you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dan, very quickly. I want to answer the question mouth.
Speaker 7: They have this question three calls ago about Obama. He
Speaker 7: bailed out general motives. Remember when the big economic crash
Speaker 7: happened in two thousand and eight during Bushtuni's watch. When
Speaker 7: Obama took over two thousand and nine, he bailed out
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure general motives that's what she was talking about.
Speaker 3: Sure enough, someone else we mentioned the cash for clunkers,
Speaker 3: So whatever it was, I don't think that we should
Speaker 3: have government saving individual companies or industry. I agree, okay, simplest.
Speaker 7: I agree Dan, one thousand percent.
Speaker 4: I agree one thousand percent.
Speaker 3: All right, thanks Steve, thanks for checking in.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 3: I give you more next time, I promise. Okay, Uh,
Speaker 3: let's get to John and Boston. John, you're gonna wrap
Speaker 3: it up first, but you gotta be quick. John, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 13: There was the Capra clunk is that the woman was
Speaker 13: talking about but Kamala is calling for confiscating patents dand
Speaker 13: she his videos here saying she's gonna.
Speaker 3: I played that. I played that earlier this evening.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so that's gonna destroy incentive. If I come up
Speaker 13: with an idea, why should I give the idea they're
Speaker 13: gonna confiscate. I can't make as much money, So that's
Speaker 13: going to destroy ingenuity and the sensive guaranteed right there.
Speaker 13: And I wish people Joe Biden is not a nice guy.
Speaker 13: He's calling for the killing of on boards by restoring
Speaker 13: rogue way again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, John, you know what, let's let's uh. I'm flat out,
Speaker 3: so I gotta let you go. We can pick up
Speaker 3: that topic another time. That's one of those issues that
Speaker 3: no one's gonna have their mind change as simple as that.
