Speaker 1: It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm going you Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: So here we are about eight nights or eight days
Speaker 1: between now an election night, eight days from now that
Speaker 1: most of the votes will be counted. I hope whether
Speaker 1: or not we have a winner, a declared winner, who knows.
Speaker 1: But I think it's something that I want to consider,
Speaker 1: and that is whether you win or lose? Are you
Speaker 1: willing to acknowledge that whoever is elected president is indeed
Speaker 1: your president? Pretty simple idea pretty simple concept. So far
Speaker 1: most people have disagreed with me on it. Fair enough,
Speaker 1: Let's go to Greg and Dorchester. Greg, welcome, How are you, sir? Dad?
Speaker 3: And take care of me?
Speaker 4: Back so.
Speaker 1: Fast?
Speaker 5: Welcome.
Speaker 3: I'm a welcome. I'm a union man all my life.
Speaker 3: Marys just you that work for the city for twenty
Speaker 3: five years. But the unions don't have the right can
Speaker 3: find and the unions don't lissit in their leadership no more.
Speaker 3: They haven't for years. But they don't. I mean, they'll
Speaker 3: say yes, but they'll vote for every way they want
Speaker 3: to vote. As far as the papers are concerned, I
Speaker 3: think that the papers they are endorsement, don't mean that
Speaker 3: much no more, because you have so many stations on
Speaker 3: the TV now a cable and ah, so many different
Speaker 3: stations and so much knowledge, so much for information, and
Speaker 3: a lot of people like the Boston Globe. But that
Speaker 3: paper is on its way out, and I think the
Speaker 3: hurdle is on its way out. Just four fifty area
Speaker 3: that off lying that I pay for digital my computer,
Speaker 3: but they don't have that. They don't have to say
Speaker 3: no more. I mean, their endorsements doesn't mean nothing, you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's up to the people themselves that they're no
Speaker 3: score down. And as far as who going to win
Speaker 3: the election, win said, I'll be with them, they'd be
Speaker 3: my president.
Speaker 1: Well that's where I am. Greg. As I said, I
Speaker 1: think that as a country we have fallen into this
Speaker 1: feeling that that unless my guy wins or Mike Gal wins,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to recognize. I'm not going to accept
Speaker 1: the results. And you're live in a democracy and you're
Speaker 1: not always going to be in the majority all the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've learned, and you've you and I are
Speaker 1: both old enough to remember, you know, President Eisenhower and
Speaker 1: President Kennedy and Johnson and Ford and Nixon and Reagan
Speaker 1: and uh you know and uh and Carter and Clinton
Speaker 1: and Obama and Bush and Bush two and all of that.
Speaker 1: And you know if the pendulum goes back and forth
Speaker 1: and we survive, but we won't survive if half the
Speaker 1: country UH is going to always you know, not support.
Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean you have to agree. But look
Speaker 1: when when President Obama was president, he was my president.
Speaker 1: I only had one president. Wasn't Mitt Robney, wasn't John McCain,
Speaker 1: it was it was Barack Obama. Well, I don't understand
Speaker 1: why so many people cannot even come to to say
Speaker 1: what you and I just said.
Speaker 3: I just say, wherever whins did, I pray for them
Speaker 3: and do a good job and keep up country safe.
Speaker 1: With you totally, Greg, You're you're a man of of
Speaker 1: integrity and I thank you very much as always.
Speaker 6: For your call.
Speaker 1: Thanks. Let me get one more in here before the break.
Speaker 1: We can move it a little bit. Let me go
Speaker 1: to UH Marty and Saint Augustine, Florida. Marty, gotta head, sir,
Speaker 1: how are you tonight?
Speaker 7: And I haven't called in a while because you've had
Speaker 7: like topics that had to do with Boston, which I
Speaker 7: didn't want to you know, get involved in. Listen, I
Speaker 7: have a very basic way of doing things. When Obama
Speaker 7: was president, I didn't vote for him, but I didn't
Speaker 7: hope that he would I hope that he would succeed. Okay,
Speaker 7: that's the way it worked. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 7: I'm seventy seven years old. The first time I voted
Speaker 7: for president was Nixon sixty eight. You had to be
Speaker 7: twenty one. Traditionally, when there's a Democrat as president, I
Speaker 7: don't put out an American flag. First of all, that
Speaker 7: American flag is probably made in China, and I like
Speaker 7: China and I like Chinese goods. But that's what I
Speaker 7: do now. As far as Kamala, Kamala, Kamela whatever, this
Speaker 7: person who outsides, they had a bloodless coup and they
Speaker 7: ousted Joe Biden, who should have been the candidate. They
Speaker 7: had a bloodless coup like in the third world country. Okay,
Speaker 7: so IM not going to predict who's going to win,
Speaker 7: but if she wins, I will not put out an
Speaker 7: American flag. I will do everything that is legal. In
Speaker 7: other words, I'm not going to break the law, but
Speaker 7: I will hold my nose. And what You've had some
Speaker 7: pretty wacko people calling up, But understand one thing. You're
Speaker 7: You're in Boston and you were telling us a while
Speaker 7: ago that you have an Oriental mayor who had some
Speaker 7: parties and she doesn't invite whitehall.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on for a second. Okay, the mayor
Speaker 1: mayor Wu. I believe her four bears come from Taiwan,
Speaker 1: So she's I think, technically chick.
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter what she is.
Speaker 1: Well, the phrase oriental, Marty, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: The phrase oriental is a phrase that has gone has
Speaker 1: gone out of fashion.
Speaker 7: Okay, whatever it is. I'm not meaning to say anything
Speaker 7: bad about her. I don't know she's Chinese, whatever, But
Speaker 7: the point is from what we heard listening to your program,
Speaker 7: that she has like parties where white people are not invited.
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to get into Boston, but I'm just
Speaker 7: saying that when the other side wins, they don't play
Speaker 7: the gentleman rules like you're you're talking about, you know,
Speaker 7: like we are going to obey the law, We're not
Speaker 7: going to do anything to break the law. But I'm
Speaker 7: not going to put out an American flag because I'll
Speaker 7: tell you why. The American flag represents the people and
Speaker 7: if people in this country.
Speaker 1: But mighty if money. Think what you're saying. Look, if
Speaker 1: if we live in a democracy, you.
Speaker 6: Don't give a representative republic, it's.
Speaker 1: Also a democracy.
Speaker 7: You know where I told some people before, if you
Speaker 7: want to have a real democracy, there are two places
Speaker 7: where you can go the Democratic Republic of Korea North Korea,
Speaker 7: or you can go to the Democratic Republic of the
Speaker 7: Congo Okay, or else you can go to Turkmenistan. These
Speaker 7: are three places which are called democracies. You know what
Speaker 7: a democracy means that.
Speaker 1: You can be called in Mary, you could be called
Speaker 1: anything you want. You know, I can call you a
Speaker 1: water buffalo. That doesn't make you a water buffalo democracy.
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to argue with you, but I think.
Speaker 1: You're making statements that I have to respond to because
Speaker 1: I'm not going to allow statements on the air which
Speaker 1: are incorrect. You know, don't try to tell me that
Speaker 1: North Korea or the Congo or democracies. I don't know
Speaker 1: enough about the Mongo.
Speaker 7: They are democratic republic in the name of the country,
Speaker 7: and formally East Germany was the Democratic public.
Speaker 1: I just you know what it's it's useless to have
Speaker 1: a conversation with you because we're talking past one another.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, how will Florida decide how
Speaker 1: their electoral votes will be counted? Who will win? How
Speaker 1: do you win the the the electoral votes of the
Speaker 1: state of Florida, Marty.
Speaker 7: What do you mean by that in terms of electoral
Speaker 7: votes or as they saying, the ghetto electrical votes?
Speaker 1: Well again, please, I don't know why you want to
Speaker 1: throw that into Marty, But anyway, how offends me? Which
Speaker 1: offends me? And it offends me. I asked you a
Speaker 1: very simple question. You're a smart guy, You're a former
Speaker 1: police officer.
Speaker 7: I want to stay friendly with you. How they're going
Speaker 7: to do the electoral.
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you
Speaker 1: the question so that I made the question clear. Well,
Speaker 1: they count the votes on on Tuesday night or when
Speaker 1: next Wednesday morning? In Florida. Let's assume that there's three
Speaker 1: million votes for hypothetically for Trump, and let's assume that
Speaker 1: there's two million votes for Harris. Trump wins sixty forty
Speaker 1: How many electoral votes does Trump win from the state
Speaker 1: of Florida.
Speaker 7: I don't know how many? How many electoral votes each day.
Speaker 1: He wins sixty percent? Or does he win all of them?
Speaker 7: Marty, I really am not familiar with how that works,
Speaker 7: but I.
Speaker 1: Know, well, let me let me familiarize you with it,
Speaker 1: because first of all, you're being this in genuine and
Speaker 1: to tell me that you know as well as I
Speaker 1: do that Donald Trump how many votes when George Bush
Speaker 1: won Florida in two thousand, you know how many votes
Speaker 1: he won by. There were five hundred and twenty seven
Speaker 1: votes that he won by. You know that number better
Speaker 1: than I do. The winner. It's a winner take all
Speaker 1: in every state except for Nebraska and May right, So
Speaker 1: that's why that's why it is both a representative republic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not a pure democracy, and that everybody goes to Washington,
Speaker 1: everybody votes. You you know, you're wasting my time when
Speaker 1: you tell me that, and you're you're and you're misleading
Speaker 1: my audience. So when the electrical College is vote cast,
Speaker 1: you know, the people in California will will vote for
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. Come will vote for Kamala Harris. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: people in Massachusetts will vote for Harris. People in Florida
Speaker 1: are probably going to vote for Donald Trump at the
Speaker 1: majority vote in those states. Whens. All I'm just saying
Speaker 1: is that you if you don't want to fly your
Speaker 1: flag because Kamala harris Is is elected president, that's your
Speaker 1: that's your progative.
Speaker 7: I stated that she's a communist. You said she is
Speaker 7: a you know what, let me me. Can I just
Speaker 7: say one thing.
Speaker 1: A communist, Kim Kim Kim Jong Moon is a communist.
Speaker 1: Putin is a communist. Kamala harris Is is maybe maybe
Speaker 1: is a sort of a you know, sort of a
Speaker 1: quasi Swedish socialist type person. Okay, she's not even as
Speaker 1: far to the left as Bernie Sanders. Again, Bardie, you
Speaker 1: know what, I can hear. I can hear viewers clicking
Speaker 1: off right now because this conversation has gone in a
Speaker 1: bad direction. Normally it's never had a bad conversation with
Speaker 1: you before. But I just want to end this one
Speaker 1: now because maybe maybe Okay, thanks, good night. I'm very sorry, folks,
Speaker 1: and I mean that seriously. Okay. I want to try
Speaker 1: to keep the conversation at a level here that is
Speaker 1: not insulting, and from now on, if people, well, first
Speaker 1: of all, I will continue to challenge you. It's not
Speaker 1: from now on, I'll continue to challenge you when you
Speaker 1: try to slip in comments which you're insulting. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: insults my audience and insults me and insults my program.
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. For those of you who dropped off,
Speaker 1: I invite you to join back and call back. I'm
Speaker 1: simply trying to get people to be decent enough to
Speaker 1: say that when the election is over, they're going to
Speaker 1: recognize the result. That's all I'm asking for. That's what
Speaker 1: America is supposed to be about. I'm not here to
Speaker 1: wave a flag. I'm not here to tell you to
Speaker 1: fly a flag. I'm not telling you not to fly
Speaker 1: a flag. But if we do not come together as
Speaker 1: a country and turn around, whoever's elected again, whether it's
Speaker 1: Trump or Harris, whoever's elected, that person is the president
Speaker 1: of the United States. And you have people on the
Speaker 1: far into one spectrum and on the far end of
Speaker 1: the other of the spectrum of the right, far right
Speaker 1: and far left who are dividing us. And it's up
Speaker 1: to people of goodwill to say, guess what candidate lost,
Speaker 1: but guess what maybe four years from candidate will win.
Speaker 1: I'm appalled by some of the response tonight, and I'm
Speaker 1: appalled by Marty's comments too, And I'm frustrated right now,
Speaker 1: I'm really frustrated that I'm trying to have a conversation
Speaker 1: with you and with my audience, and my audience is
Speaker 1: disappointing right now, disappointing me right now. I hope some
Speaker 1: of you out there will understand and tune into what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, because if we don't smarten up as a country,
Speaker 1: we can lose this country. We can lose it. And
Speaker 1: if you think, if you have kids, who you have grandchildren,
Speaker 1: you've got a responsibility to say, hey, look this is
Speaker 1: the way it's done. I've lived under democratic presidents, I've
Speaker 1: lived on the Republican presidents, and I will live under
Speaker 1: whoever's elected. Back on Nightside after this.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 2: Nightside Studios. I'm WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna restart this baby right now. Let me
Speaker 1: go to Ann in San Antonio and you are next
Speaker 1: on night Side.
Speaker 6: Welcome, Hi, Dan, Nice to hear your voice.
Speaker 1: Great to hear you.
Speaker 8: And I would like to say I would absolutely support
Speaker 8: whomever get selected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a mere acknowledgment, an acceptance, because you're gonna have
Speaker 1: people who are gonna be walking with us, not my president.
Speaker 1: I don't vote for that bred person, and I think
Speaker 1: it just divides us. Thank you, Anne. I know that
Speaker 1: I know that you are going to vote. I have
Speaker 1: no idea who you're gonna vote for, but I think
Speaker 1: what what you're saying is is what I'm hoping people
Speaker 1: will say. I don't want to force people to say it.
Speaker 1: I would hope out of you, you know, the people,
Speaker 1: that enough people would would come.
Speaker 8: To that concise the goodness of my heart and the
Speaker 8: love of country. Yeah, the love of country. You're absolutely
Speaker 8: right that we will lose this country.
Speaker 9: I grew up.
Speaker 1: Jusets the first and you said, and you said, you
Speaker 1: grew up where.
Speaker 8: I grew up in Massachusetts, a Kennedy Democrat. And the
Speaker 8: first time I cast a vote was an absentee ballot
Speaker 8: ballot we lived in Germany, and uh was for President Clinton.
Speaker 8: I was a registered independent, yeh, and registered that way
Speaker 8: so I would have the freedom to vote for whomever
Speaker 8: I chose.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's the way I'm registered too.
Speaker 8: Yeah. And I led a good life with volunteerism.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 8: Just loving this country. And I am voting for Trump
Speaker 8: because I feel he's the same. The the insults that
Speaker 8: do come from the left are beyond, and it has
Speaker 8: broken up and created a lot of rancor within families.
Speaker 8: And it's very sad.
Speaker 1: And I think there's been a lot of insults coming
Speaker 1: from both sides. I mean, look, you know when Donald
Speaker 1: Trump says Harris is a low IQ person, I mean
Speaker 1: that's first of all.
Speaker 8: I do true have that kind of from anybody.
Speaker 1: And and it's like, yeah, I understand, you know, they
Speaker 1: have different policies. I get it, I totally get it.
Speaker 1: I just think that that that you're big enough and
Speaker 1: you love the country enough to say that, hey, we
Speaker 1: don't want to lose the country. That's what my concern
Speaker 1: is that we might be sitting here ten years from
Speaker 1: I'll say we really blew it, you know that's I
Speaker 1: hope we don't. I hope we don't.
Speaker 8: Well we did when we took the civics out of
Speaker 8: our school Well.
Speaker 1: I think that's right, and I think it's important to
Speaker 1: fight to get civics back in schools. I couldn't agree
Speaker 1: with you more than that. I couldn't agree with you
Speaker 1: more on that because I think the too many kids
Speaker 1: today don't understand what the history of the country is,
Speaker 1: and and and what what what how fortunate we are
Speaker 1: to live in this country, that's all. And he look,
Speaker 1: we've had it's been a tough election. I get it.
Speaker 1: Let's see how it works out. But I just think
Speaker 1: that the for the sake of the country. I have
Speaker 1: no idea who's gonna win, but for the sake of
Speaker 1: the country, we need to we need to put some
Speaker 1: of this behind us. We don't. And I had people
Speaker 1: on both sides tonight, on the left and the right
Speaker 1: who told me that they're not going to support or
Speaker 1: whatever or that, you know, they they they phrase it differently,
Speaker 1: and and and thank you for your call. And I
Speaker 1: appreciate your your support. All right, thanks so much. Thanks
Speaker 1: good idean. Here we're going to go next to Terry's
Speaker 1: in Peebty, a little closer to home. Terry next on
Speaker 1: Nisaga right ahead.
Speaker 4: Hi, Van, Yeah, it's Terry.
Speaker 6: Hi.
Speaker 4: And I just want to thank you. And I just
Speaker 4: want to say your last caller is so correct. In
Speaker 4: my mid to late sixties, I was born a Democrat
Speaker 4: Kennedy in Massachusetts. My parents totally Democrats, and they're eighty
Speaker 4: nine and ninety and they're Republicans now. They just feel
Speaker 4: like it's a different world. They are trompsters, which I
Speaker 4: thought would never ever ever happen. Okay, my brother almost
Speaker 4: was named Ted Kennedy my last name. Okay, that's how
Speaker 4: my parents were crazy Kennedy people.
Speaker 9: But I was.
Speaker 4: But I was brought up in the politics world that
Speaker 4: I respected my president. So no, I don't want Kamala
Speaker 4: Pallas as president. I feel like she was in there
Speaker 4: and the reason I went wasn't vote for her is
Speaker 4: because she had her time and she didn't do it
Speaker 4: much for me and unfortunate, and I think she saw
Speaker 4: what was happening with Joe and she did nothing about it,
Speaker 4: and that's disgraceful. What they actually kicked him out of
Speaker 4: what he you know, it's the poor general, that poor man.
Speaker 4: But he was my president even though it was Trump,
Speaker 4: and I respected him because that's the way I was
Speaker 4: brought up, Okay, and I believe that's what this in
Speaker 4: this country. And as much as I wouldn't want to
Speaker 4: respect her, I would have to.
Speaker 1: I think that Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris is in a
Speaker 1: tough spot on that question. I think that she should answered.
Speaker 1: But if she said, oh yeah, I recognized that he
Speaker 1: had problems then they're going to say, well, how come
Speaker 1: you didn't say something? And I think this is a
Speaker 1: way to answer the question honestly and say, look, I
Speaker 1: was his vice president and we had every you know,
Speaker 1: he had good days and bad days, and she could that.
Speaker 1: There's a way to answer that question in my opinion.
Speaker 4: But I also want to get on the topic of
Speaker 4: Sean O'Brien and the teamsteras because I have people in
Speaker 4: my family of the Teamsters, and I think he was
Speaker 4: brilliant to be honest with you because what he was
Speaker 4: saying is to what.
Speaker 1: You want exactly, that's exactly what.
Speaker 4: And I thought it was a brilliant he didn't Yeah,
Speaker 4: I thought he was very smart to do that. And
Speaker 4: I think the Democrats he's a politician, that's what he
Speaker 4: did not to.
Speaker 1: Allow him not the Democrats were not smart, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: to not invite him to their convention. They were offensive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true, but it's just become it's become high stakes poker.
Speaker 1: And I h yeah, I hope we can. We can
Speaker 1: move past it whatever this election occurs, and.
Speaker 4: Me too, we need we need move forward as a country.
Speaker 4: This it's ridiculous. I mean, I have grandchildren, and I'm
Speaker 4: afraid for them to be honest with you, Terry.
Speaker 1: I love your call it. I hope you call more often.
Speaker 4: All Right, Thanks Dan, you do a wonderful job.
Speaker 1: Thanks Terry, I appreciate very much, appreciate your support. A
Speaker 1: great night, goodness. All right, we're going to keep it going.
Speaker 1: The only lines that open is one at six one seven, two, five,
Speaker 1: four ten thirty and one at six one seven, nine
Speaker 1: three one ten thirty. I don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, unenrolled, independent, whatever, green, libertarian.
Speaker 1: We will elect that president next week. I hope, I hope.
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't end up in litigation. I hope
Speaker 1: that everybody can concur that president has been elected, maybe decisively,
Speaker 1: and we can support that president at least acknowledge the
Speaker 1: president is elected at a minimum, at a minimum, and
Speaker 1: get away from the theories, well he's not ry president
Speaker 1: because I didn't vote for him. That's not the way
Speaker 1: it works in a democracy. Okay, A lot of people
Speaker 1: aren't going to vote for the person who doesn't get elected.
Speaker 1: Back on Nightside after this newsbreak.
Speaker 2: You're on night Side with Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1: Okay, back we go to the phones. We are going
Speaker 1: to John and Drake.
Speaker 8: It next.
Speaker 1: John, You're next on Nightside.
Speaker 6: Welcome, sir, Hey Dan.
Speaker 9: That gentleman that was on the Former Police said he was.
Speaker 5: Kind of losing his mind. But I've heard him before,
Speaker 5: you know, a little disconnected from being you know, you're
Speaker 5: going to be in the right frame of mind to
Speaker 5: be on your show.
Speaker 1: I guess, I just I mean, I've had him before,
Speaker 1: and I just thought that he was trying to throw
Speaker 1: some things in tonight which were irrelevant and yeah and
Speaker 1: racist frankly, and you know, I hate you use that.
Speaker 1: I think I don't care. You know, the phrase oriental
Speaker 1: is long out of vogue, Okay, right right ahead.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just it's unbelievable. I mean, look, this is
Speaker 5: the thing. I mean, let's just face it. The election's
Speaker 5: coming up, as we already know. I can't see anything
Speaker 5: out of the ordinary other than what I saw last night,
Speaker 5: which wasn't out of the ordinary. It was unbelievable what
Speaker 5: he did in Madison Square. God, I have said this
Speaker 5: to you before in sixteen, and I said this lost election,
Speaker 5: but I didn't know what the results would be, and
Speaker 5: I always said I would back my president as a
Speaker 5: US Navy CB veteran. That's where I stand as a
Speaker 5: veteran like yourself. And I'll tell you something. I would
Speaker 5: never in my life go against my president. And I'll
Speaker 5: say he or she is not my president. Would never
Speaker 5: do it, never do it. So there's a number of
Speaker 5: people on there, including a lot of friends. Never mentioned
Speaker 5: the names on radio because it's to protect the innocent. Now,
Speaker 5: a gentleman who's a friend of mine, he's also an attorney,
Speaker 5: and he's he is just always on the attack, always
Speaker 5: on the attack, always posting stuff about Trump, and always
Speaker 5: posting stuff that's always about, you know, the downside of
Speaker 5: it and the negativity and the way he does things
Speaker 5: and bupah by and he's erased people from his page
Speaker 5: because he doesn't want to hear their opinion, he doesn't
Speaker 5: want to hear their narrative based on what he's talking about,
Speaker 5: how he's putting it forward. And I think that's ridiculous
Speaker 5: that we all can't come to reason with the fact
Speaker 5: that you do it every day, Dan, you do it
Speaker 5: every day on your radio show.
Speaker 1: Te Well.
Speaker 9: You take the person's constructive opinion and you let them speak,
Speaker 9: and you also give your own this is what life
Speaker 9: is all about. This is about being heard. It's about
Speaker 9: what we do as people.
Speaker 1: And I'm sticking and I couldn't do this if I
Speaker 1: lived in a lot of countries around the world, if
Speaker 1: I lived in Venezuela, or if I lived in China,
Speaker 1: I couldn't do this.
Speaker 9: I know, absolutely not. So my point is is that
Speaker 9: I feel like he wins the electoral College just for
Speaker 9: the record, and that she loses based on her experience
Speaker 9: after four years. Absolutely, and I hate to say it
Speaker 9: doing nothing, absolutely nothing, but that's my opinion. And if
Speaker 9: he does lose, I want him to take the fact
Speaker 9: that he lost.
Speaker 5: I hope that.
Speaker 9: He does that this time. I hope that he concedes
Speaker 9: when it's supposed to be done.
Speaker 5: Well, No, normally.
Speaker 1: The irony here is that if he had been more
Speaker 1: gracious in defeat in twenty twenty, yeah, there'd be no
Speaker 1: question that he would be elected.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, I think that that's absolutely an event.
Speaker 1: Did he tell people, in my opinion, go to the
Speaker 1: Capitol and I break windows. No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But I think that summoning those people to Washington stopped this.
Speaker 1: I feel in all of the language that that set
Speaker 1: the circumstances in motion, so exactly.
Speaker 9: And I have to say this real quick, or let's
Speaker 9: you get onto the call is.
Speaker 5: Look it. If he wins, If he wins, he wins
Speaker 5: by a very small margin, not by the electoral callers,
Speaker 5: but by the electoral calls. Obviously it could that would
Speaker 5: have to be, you know, a relatively considerable number. I
Speaker 5: mean for me to say, I know what the states
Speaker 5: are he's going to win, and I know where they
Speaker 5: are exactly because I study this stuff religiously. I hate
Speaker 5: to say it, but I think he loses by the
Speaker 5: popular vote, but not less than five hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see, we'll see what counts to be interesting vote.
Speaker 1: And if people don't understand it, they need to take
Speaker 1: a course in civics.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, And I hope it comes back to
Speaker 5: our schools and it enlightens children on what this is
Speaker 5: all about.
Speaker 1: You got it, You got it, John, I appreciate your
Speaker 1: call very much.
Speaker 5: All right, all right, all right, let.
Speaker 1: Me keep rolling here. We're going to go next to
Speaker 1: Dan is up in Hampton, New Hampshire. Dan next on Nightsigger, right.
Speaker 12: Ahead, Yes, Stan, Well, you kind of got to my
Speaker 12: point a bit off your last caller. But four years ago,
Speaker 12: you had a situation where Donald Trump refused to conceive
Speaker 12: the election. He said he won, He said he won
Speaker 12: by a landslide, and people his people believed him. How
Speaker 12: could those people possibly support Joe Biden when they believed
Speaker 12: he was a fraud and that Trump should be president.
Speaker 1: Well, if, if, if that is true. There were people
Speaker 1: who probably did believe that that there was some sort
Speaker 1: of Shenanigan's afoot, but those the claims were never proven.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, there was never a court
Speaker 1: decision that showed there was significant fraud in any of
Speaker 1: the states. And I think that most of the I
Speaker 1: would hope that most of the Trump supporters in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty realized that he had indeed lost, despite all of
Speaker 1: his protestations to the contrary. And I would hope that
Speaker 1: if he were to lose again, that we would see
Speaker 1: no repeat of the claims that were not proven, and
Speaker 1: that obviously there would be no problem with the transition
Speaker 1: of power from Biden to Harris. But I would hope
Speaker 1: that Trump would would basically take the loss and move
Speaker 1: on with the rest of his life. If conversely, he
Speaker 1: were to win, I would hope that the Democrats would
Speaker 1: be bigger than he was, and say, Okay, you know
Speaker 1: he lost in twenty twenty, and he won somehow, some
Speaker 1: way in twenty twenty four, and let's let's be done
Speaker 1: with it and let's move on.
Speaker 12: I hope so too, Dan, But I don't believe he's
Speaker 12: going to do that. I believe he's going to do
Speaker 12: the same thing again. And there is still and you could, yes, all,
Speaker 12: there was no proof he tried it was succeed.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me ask you. Let's let's assume. Let's
Speaker 1: assume Trump wins in the electoral College or whatever. Okay,
Speaker 1: will you acknowledge that he won if he if he won, yes, well,
Speaker 1: will you say I cannot acknowledge him because he refused
Speaker 1: to acknowledge Biden in twenty twenty.
Speaker 12: I will go I will go back to exactly what
Speaker 12: al Gore said after the Supreme Court made the decision
Speaker 12: in two thousand. I would strongly disagree, but I would
Speaker 12: accept it.
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, yeah, well again, I think that al Gore,
Speaker 1: at at that moment in time, did what was best
Speaker 1: for the country. Gore lost by five and twenty seven
Speaker 1: votes in one state.
Speaker 13: Maybe maybe, well, I mean, well, you could say maybe,
Speaker 13: but under the system that we have, the Supreme Court
Speaker 13: ordered that the vote count stop, okay.
Speaker 1: And unfortunate, fortunately or unfortunately, that's the system we have now.
Speaker 1: If Gore had carried his home state of Tennessee, or
Speaker 1: if he had carried the state of his if he
Speaker 1: carried Arkansas, he would he would have been the president
Speaker 1: of the United States. But there has to come a
Speaker 1: point in time, just as with Trump's situation, there came
Speaker 1: a point in time, and it was when in early
Speaker 1: December when the electors met in the various states and
Speaker 1: declared that he had won. And the whole old thing
Speaker 1: on January sixth never should have happened. He never should
Speaker 1: have assembled that never should have invited those people to
Speaker 1: come to Washington, stop to steal.
Speaker 12: You know that, And I know that absolutely, you know
Speaker 12: absolutely Trump is going to continue to be Trump. I
Speaker 12: don't ever, I don't see him change. And I didn't,
Speaker 12: you know, I didn't was not a bit surprised that
Speaker 12: he did not concede. I was. I was saying that
Speaker 12: to p beforehand. He won't concede, He'll never admit he lost,
Speaker 12: and he won't do it this time either.
Speaker 1: Dan, Well, let's see who wins, and I just hope
Speaker 1: that we as a country can somehow come together, because
Speaker 1: if we don't, I mean, let's let's just throw the country.
Speaker 1: Let's just flush the country down the toilet. You know,
Speaker 1: let's let's every let's every election, the half of the
Speaker 1: country that loses, you know, go out and demonstrate and
Speaker 1: scream and yell and whatever. We'll flush the country. We'll
Speaker 1: flush the country down the toilet.
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, we do have to have the peaceful change
Speaker 12: exchange of power, which we did not have despite what
Speaker 12: he says, And well it wasn't.
Speaker 1: There wasn't no, no, in fact, it was. It wasn't peaceful,
Speaker 1: but there was a transition to power. The person who
Speaker 1: won the election was inaugurated President Joe Biden. That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 12: Was you know, but but Trump should have been there,
Speaker 12: just just like you can go back Richard Nixon was
Speaker 12: there when Kenadeday got inaugurated.
Speaker 1: Over there, They all were there. Carter was there when
Speaker 1: Reagan was elected, Bush was there, Bush was there when
Speaker 1: Clinton was elected.
Speaker 12: Absolutely everyone everyone necks to everyone except Trump, right, So
Speaker 12: people and there and despite what you say, Dan, all
Speaker 12: those court cases and everything else. He is still say
Speaker 12: he won the election.
Speaker 1: I know he's saying that. I know he I know
Speaker 1: he believes that. What I'm saying is the question then,
Speaker 1: is okay.
Speaker 12: If he really if he really think you really think
Speaker 12: he believes that, Pam, that he won?
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely absolutely, I disagree with you.
Speaker 12: There. It was like Chris Christen the second.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna try to get into
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's head.
Speaker 5: You got there, okay, Okay, all right, I gotta run.
Speaker 1: I'm pass by break. Thanks. Dan has always talk. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get everybody in. Jane, Dallas and Steve. You're coming up.
Speaker 1: We got only only lines that are open are six, one,
Speaker 1: seven thirty. Coming right back on the night side.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan ray My from the Window World
Speaker 2: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a sprint to the finish. Let's go to
Speaker 1: Jane in New Hampshire. Jane go right ahead, you're next
Speaker 1: on night Side.
Speaker 10: Hi, it's James.
Speaker 6: How you doing, James?
Speaker 1: How are you? For some reason? My guy has here. Jane.
Speaker 6: It's James right.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think it's all right. Come on, it's James,
Speaker 1: not James. Go ahead, James, Sorry.
Speaker 10: That's all right, I'm not offended, and said, hey, listen,
Speaker 10: I just wanted to touch me. So this is the
Speaker 10: third time I've listened to you, second time i've called you.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 10: I called you a couple of weeks ago. I told
Speaker 10: you I worked in a major hospital system and the
Speaker 10: things that I've seen down there would plow your mind.
Speaker 10: I don't hear, remember, but anyway, Okay, so I just
Speaker 10: wanted to touch me. So I think there's a whole
Speaker 10: thing that we're not looking at here, we're not singing for.
Speaker 10: I told you I grew up in Los Angeles, just
Speaker 10: outside of LA Right, I'm a fifty five year old man.
Speaker 6: Now I've lived in the MSH for quite a while now.
Speaker 10: But anyways, growing up out in California, my dad had
Speaker 10: his house for thirty five years, and every election season
Speaker 10: he would have several people come to his house, knock
Speaker 10: on his door and want their balance, want their mail
Speaker 10: in balance. And these are not legal citizens. The area
Speaker 10: that I was at was not there was the majority,
Speaker 10: believe it or not or not from the United States.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a whole.
Speaker 10: Problem with that. Like, I literally think that the federal government,
Speaker 10: I know they don't handle things very well, but I
Speaker 10: think you need to have a real id to vote.
Speaker 10: And when I say a real idea, real idea, not
Speaker 10: that I happened.
Speaker 1: I happen to agree with you. Okay, I happen to
Speaker 1: agree with you. But all what I was saying before
Speaker 1: is that no matter all of the protestations that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump and the Republicans made in twenty twenty, they never
Speaker 1: proved anything. It is one thing to say, oh, I
Speaker 1: found a guy, one guy in California who voted illegally,
Speaker 1: but that's not enough for a judge to say, we're
Speaker 1: gonna consider the entire elect You know what I'm saying
Speaker 1: or not.
Speaker 10: I understand what're saying, and I totally agree with what
Speaker 10: you're saying. However, I remember seeing do you remember seeing
Speaker 10: the video of them kicking all the Republican and Democratic
Speaker 10: watchers out? Do you remember that? I can't remember what
Speaker 10: county it was?
Speaker 11: Would happen?
Speaker 1: I think I think I think the video that you're
Speaker 1: referred to was Philadelphia. But again with litigated.
Speaker 10: His suitcases underneath, well.
Speaker 1: Well that that was that was debunked. That was debunked. Okay,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that was debunked. There were efforts where
Speaker 1: people were blocked from seeing the counting and all, but
Speaker 1: there was no proof Trump Trump had a team of lays.
Speaker 1: It's over. Twenty twenty is over. Think about twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 10: I understand that. But do understand that we have a
Speaker 10: major problem in this country with people not here illegally
Speaker 10: that are voting. It's happening.
Speaker 1: I know we have a problem with people here who
Speaker 1: are here illegally, Okay, but I have not seen any
Speaker 1: proof that they are voting. It's one thing to suspect it.
Speaker 1: It's one thing maybe even to believe it. But you
Speaker 1: got to it, That's all I'm saying, James James, Right.
Speaker 10: And growing up in Los Angeles, like I just told you,
Speaker 10: they would always show up at my dad's house wanting
Speaker 10: their ballance, their mail and ballance. All right, so this
Speaker 10: is happening, I'm telling Tom.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Okay, Well again, you know you saw this
Speaker 1: in your dad's house in what year.
Speaker 9: It was?
Speaker 10: He owned the house for thirty five years. It was
Speaker 10: probably the last ten.
Speaker 1: Anyways, he died, right, James, James, Again, it's anecdotal. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It doesn't hold water in terms of a court of law.
Speaker 1: I got to keep rolling here, man, I got three
Speaker 1: other folks that want it right.
Speaker 10: There is why people get so irritated and so upset.
Speaker 1: Yep, I hear you. But it's time to cut. For
Speaker 1: everyone to calm down. Okay, got to go. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Dallas in Ohio. Dallas, go right ahead, Glad you got through, Dallas.
Speaker 14: Go ahead, sir, Yes, how you doing?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 14: The Hello?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 14: The hello boss? And I want to make this. I
Speaker 14: want to make this statement. You know united, we stand,
Speaker 14: did we fall? We read unity in this We need
Speaker 14: unity in this nation for the sake of democracy.
Speaker 1: I'm with you and then totally with you whoever.
Speaker 14: So whoever gets in next Tuesday, we just we have
Speaker 14: to suck it up and support him.
Speaker 1: Play that got up, buttercup. That's that should be our slogan.
Speaker 14: Okay, that's all I got to say.
Speaker 1: Dan, all right, Dallas, thank you, man, appreciate it, great call.
Speaker 1: Thank you, very well, very well done, very well done.
Speaker 1: All Right, we've got to get two in here. Dean
Speaker 1: in Gloucester. You gotta be quick so I get Steve
Speaker 1: in as well.
Speaker 8: Go ahead, Dean, Hey, damn.
Speaker 11: Thanks takes a call. I wanted to bring this up.
Speaker 11: I remember when Trump was inaugurated, and I remember mostly
Speaker 11: Elizabeth Warren boycotting it, and it was weird. You know,
Speaker 11: It's Trump never even did anything to hum, but from
Speaker 11: that day they just started like call him. You know
Speaker 11: what they've been doing is a criminal or what else?
Speaker 1: I mean, Look, Elizabeth Warren is so far left, she's irrelevant. Okay,
Speaker 1: she's irrelevant.
Speaker 11: And is this why why I don't think Trump has
Speaker 11: to show them any respect that they didn't, they didn't
Speaker 11: call him the president.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, look Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton claimed
Speaker 1: that she had that she had won two as well,
Speaker 1: and she hadn't won. Maybe Donald if Donald Trump would
Speaker 1: to win, maybe he could. Maybe if Donald Trump wins,
Speaker 1: he can sort of be a bigger man. I don't know.
Speaker 11: I don't know, no, because when I think, I really do,
Speaker 11: I really think that. I think because of the COVID
Speaker 11: some things up. But you're right, I'm agreeing with you.
Speaker 11: They never pulled. It's almost like, uh, you know, people
Speaker 11: claiming that there's ex terrestrials, you just haven't shun the
Speaker 11: proof of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's probably more proof of right, you
Speaker 1: gotta hey, Dan, I got to run here. I want
Speaker 1: to get one more And he's been waiting for twenty
Speaker 1: four minutes. Thanks Dean, Stephen Bridgewater. What have we got
Speaker 1: for time here? Give to me quickly, Dan, two minutes? Okay, Steve,
Speaker 1: go ahead, we got a minute at least. Good.
Speaker 6: If Toma gets elected, I would have no choice but
Speaker 6: to accept her is my president. But it would be
Speaker 6: very hard for me to stand behind her because I
Speaker 6: know enough about her to know.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have to stand behind anybody. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you have to change your point of view.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying what you said. She gets elected, she's
Speaker 1: the president, Okay, that's all. And give her a chance
Speaker 1: to pull a cabinet together, give her a chance to
Speaker 1: give it an Augurlar address, give her a chance to
Speaker 1: make a few decisions, and then as she makes your decisions,
Speaker 1: criticize away.
Speaker 5: No, right, but exactly, I just.
Speaker 1: Don't want to see demonstrations in the streets of Washington
Speaker 1: whoever wins.
Speaker 6: No, that's well all I'm saying, No, no to waste
Speaker 6: the time anyway. When the wings wings, that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like it to be as decisive as possible,
Speaker 1: so that so that fewer people if it's if it's
Speaker 1: one of these that's decided at the last uh you know,
Speaker 1: by five thousand votes or something, it's gonna be horrible.
Speaker 1: It's horrible. I just will have Yeah. Okay, Well, Steve,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time, and I know you
Speaker 1: called late and you waited a long time. But but
