WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Constance New Radio.

2
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:10.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, it was an interesting day at the

3
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 2>White House today. One of the advantages of working nights

4
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>is I can sort of during the day check out

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>what's going on. And the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark

6
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Carney former Harvard University backup goaltenders. Nothing wrong with that.

7
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I was a backup goaltender too in college, so I

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>believe me that's that's a tough position to play or

9
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>not play. But he is the new Prime Minister, and

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 2>he's was greeted at the White House Portico by President Trump.

11
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>They both they recognize they they see certain things differently.

12
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>But then they held a little greeting ceremony in the

13
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Oval office and took a questions and whether you like

14
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump or not. And I know that there are

15
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people in my audience who like him

16
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of people who don't like him. One

17
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 2>thing you have to give him some credit for, even

18
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>those who don't like him, is his willingness to sit

19
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>in front of cameras and answer questions and sometimes to

20
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>do it in the presence of people with whom he

21
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>may not be On all four squares meaning Voldemir Zelenski,

22
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.439
<v Speaker 2>the president of Ukraine or Mark Karney, the new newly

23
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 2>elected Prime Minister of Canada. I thought that both President

24
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Trump I and Prime Minister Karnie conducted themselves diplomatically today.

25
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>It was very clear that, look, they're a great ally

26
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>of the United States. Does Trump really want care Hanna

27
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 2>to be our first fifty first state. I find that

28
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>hard to believe, because, first of all, I don't think

29
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 2>the Canadians want to be our fifty first state. I

30
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>think they like their position as a government a country

31
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>that really is part of the Commonwealth of Britain, the

32
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>United Kingdom, if you will. But I think Trump just

33
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 2>loves living in the minds, in the brains, red free

34
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>of a lot. He trolls people. That's what he does, so,

35
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>whether it's on Alcatraz or on Canada. So this was

36
00:02:52.719 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>let's see President Trump today. He talks about, well, this

37
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>was I think this was yesterday. Okay, this was yesterday.

38
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to today. Okay, as soon as they

39
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 2>open up questions, he knows. I mean, they could have

40
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>made their polite opening remarks and then said, you know,

41
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>shut it down or you know, thank you very much.

42
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Ladies and gentlemen, we'll talk to you afterwards or whatever. No,

43
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>we didn't made himself put him out there, and Connie

44
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>did as well. And I thought Connie acquitted himself very nicely. Clearly,

45
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the hostility that existed between President Trump and Prime Minister

46
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Justin Trudeau doesn't necessarily follow on with Canadian Prime Minister Carne.

47
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>So this is let's start it off with this is

48
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 2>cut one seventeen with Trump is asked by I'm not

49
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>sure who it was in the White House media war,

50
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>but he's asked about Canada as the fifty first state,

51
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>which again I think is ludicrous. I don't think that

52
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>it's within any sphere or realm of possibility. But there's

53
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>the question, and President Trump rose to the question.

54
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 3>No, well, I still believe that, but you know, it

55
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 3>takes two to tango, right, But no, I do. I mean,

56
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 3>I believe it would be a massive tax cut for

57
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 3>the Canadian citizens. You get free military, you get tremendous

58
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 3>medical cares and other things. There would be a lot

59
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 3>of advantages, but it would be a massive tax cut.

60
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 3>And it's also a beautiful you know, as a real

61
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 3>estate developer, you know, I'm a real estate developer at heart.

62
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>When you get rid of that artificially drawn line.

63
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Somebody drew that line many years ago with like a ruler,

64
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 3>just a straight line right across that top of the country.

65
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 3>When you look at that beautiful formation when it's together.

66
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm a very artistic person, but when I looked at that,

67
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, I said, that's the way it was meant

68
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 3>to be. But you know, I just I do feel

69
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 3>it's much better for Canada. But we're not going to

70
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 3>be discussing that unless somebody wants to discuss it. I

71
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 3>think that there are tremendous benefits to the Canadian citizens,

72
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 3>tremendously lower taxes, free military, which honestly would give you

73
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 3>essentially anyway, because we're protecting Canada if you have had

74
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 3>a problem. But I think you know it's it would

75
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 3>really be a wonderful marriage because it's two places.

76
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.519
<v Speaker 2>They get along very well, They like each other along.

77
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 2>While he was talking, there was some shots of the

78
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Canadian Prime Minister, who obviously was looking to get a

79
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>word in edge wise. Good luck with that, mark, Prime

80
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Minister Carney, but he did this is cut number twenty three,

81
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 2>and he very respectfully inserted himself into the conversation and

82
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a little bit back and forth which I think

83
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.759
<v Speaker 2>is interesting. Here we go cut twenty three, Rob.

84
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 4>As you know from real estate, there are some places

85
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 4>that are never for sale. We're sitting in one right now,

86
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, bucking and Palace.

87
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 2>You visit it as well.

88
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 4>And having met with the owners of Canada over the

89
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 4>course of the campaign last several months, it's not for sale,

90
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 4>won't be for sale ever. But the opportunity is in

91
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 4>the partnership and what we can build together, and we

92
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 4>have done in the past. And part of that, as

93
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 4>the President just said, is with respect to our own security,

94
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.920
<v Speaker 4>and my government is committed for a step change in

95
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.680
<v Speaker 4>our investment in Canadian security and our partnership. And I'll

96
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 4>say this as well, that the President has revitalized international security,

97
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 4>revitalized NATO and us playing our full weight in NATO

98
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:52.639
<v Speaker 4>and that will.

99
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 5>Be parts and they have. I must say, Canada is

100
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 5>stepping up up the military participation because.

101
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Mark now you know they were low and now they're

102
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:07.040
<v Speaker 2>stepping it up.

103
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 3>And that's a very important thing. But never say never,

104
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 3>never say never.

105
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, part Mian so Chrony was very diplomatic. I

106
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 2>gave an acknowledgment to our President Donald Trump, and obviously

107
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Trump was able to get the final word never say never.

108
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>But look, is there anyone out there who actually thinks

109
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>there is some thought there is some thought which I

110
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 2>can explain on the other side of the break, that

111
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe President Trump has some hidden agenda. I can talk

112
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>about that, but I want to hear from you. Do

113
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>you agree with me that primarily President Trumps loves to

114
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>troll the folks on the other side, He loves to

115
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>be able to troll them from the position, from any position,

116
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 2>but from the position of authority at the White House.

117
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 2>And I thought all in all that both Prime Mister

118
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Corney and President Trump handled themselves pretty well today. If

119
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 2>you've seen it, feel free if you have it. Let's

120
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>talk about trolling. He's the king of trolling in my opinion.

121
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

122
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of people take the bait. And we

123
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.920
<v Speaker 2>haven't even begun to discuss Alcatraz six one seven, two, five,

124
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty.

125
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Why is Donald Trump baiting baiting the Prime Minister? I

126
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>think he's just he's having fun. Uh, and he knows

127
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 2>that he knows that he's in He gets the name

128
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 2>of the paper. That's what I think, and I think

129
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>he enjoys getting inside their head. We'll be back on

130
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>the night's side. I got wide open lines six, which

131
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>has surprised me. One seven, two, five, four to ten

132
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 2>thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty riff

133
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Switch topics. Back on Nightside after this.

134
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm w b Z Boston's

135
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 1>News Radio.

136
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're talking about President Trump's meeting today with

137
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Now Carney campaigned against President Trump.

138
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>As a matter of fact, President Trump probably h Carney

139
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>was down to the polls, and President Trump injected him

140
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 2>into the race, and he said today that probably Carney

141
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>should thank him. I mean I think, look, I think

142
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Mark Carney can thank Donald Trump for being Prime Minister

143
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>of Canada. Let me go first up to Wayne in Arlington, Massachusetts. Wayne,

144
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 2>welcome first this hour on Nightside.

145
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Go right, Hitcher, Hey, Dan.

146
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 6>Hey, nice to talk to you.

147
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 7>Actually, I hail from Toronto originally, and I drove over

148
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 7>here for the big two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of

149
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 7>Lexington and Conquered and there's so much to sea. Yeah,

150
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 7>I'm still here.

151
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, isn't that great? So are you retired or how

152
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>are you able to do that?

153
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:18.120
<v Speaker 6>Well?

154
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 7>I am somewhat yeah, and I'm frugal in how I travel,

155
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 7>so you know, you can try to keep the expenses down,

156
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 7>but it's not easy because there's such a difference in

157
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 7>the dollar. Every US dollar costs a dollar forty four Canadian.

158
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 7>So when you guys travel north, you get a great deal,

159
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 7>but coming the other way it hurts yike.

160
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sorry. I'm sorry to hear that on your end.

161
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 2>By the way, how'd you find Nightside if you just

162
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 2>came down last month? Had you listened to us up

163
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 2>in Canada?

164
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 7>Oh, I've been listening to the WZ on and off

165
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 7>for a long time, ever since my gosh, I earned

166
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.840
<v Speaker 7>myself a Larry Glick University T shirt.

167
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, if you're a Larry Glick University graduate and

168
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>with a T shirt, obviously that's the that I stand

169
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 2>in r of you. Larry was a great friend of mine.

170
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I worked with him. I was in TV at the time,

171
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>and I would see him many nights in the way

172
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 2>out the door before he was going on the air

173
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 2>with his radio show Delightful Guy and more. People mentioned

174
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Larry click to be than you could imagine.

175
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, I miss him and I used to get

176
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 7>the signal in Ottawa. It's not that far. Your signal

177
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 7>is strong. You can pick up TV BUZ all over

178
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 7>the Maritimes. I think even Southwest Newfoundland gets the signal,

179
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 7>but definitely Quebec, Eastern Ontario, Southern Ontario.

180
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I have a lot of friends of mine in Canada,

181
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and matter of fact, I had one guy one night

182
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>who was working a construction project. He's a regular listener

183
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:49.759
<v Speaker 2>from I'm not sure whether it was Quebec or wherever,

184
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Nova Scotia. He was working a project in Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba,

185
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and he was listening to us on the ten Trainsist

186
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>radio in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Of course, people can listen now

187
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 2>on the internet, which makes it a lot easier. So

188
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>what is your thought today? Did you get a chance

189
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 2>to watch? I thought Prime Minister Carney acquitted himself very

190
00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:09.759
<v Speaker 2>well in the White House.

191
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 7>I haven't seen the coverage of his visit there today.

192
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to catch it up online when I watched

193
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 7>the news later. But the whole Trump thing colored the

194
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 7>election all across Canada. Yeah, and with a combination of

195
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 7>Trump's threats and insults and Trudeau stepping down of his

196
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 7>own accord. The Liberal Party just shot up in popularity.

197
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 7>Is the logical defender of the country, and so that's

198
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 7>what happened, and he almost got a majority government out

199
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.000
<v Speaker 7>of it. You're just a few seats shy of that.

200
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 7>But you know, I got to say for Trump, the

201
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 7>reaction across Canada to Trump is so negative it is unbelievable.

202
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 7>I had friends tell me, what are you doing. You're

203
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.039
<v Speaker 7>going down to the States. We don't do that. We're

204
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 7>not crossing the border right now. We're not spending a

205
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 7>dime if we can help it. We're taking us products

206
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 7>off the shelves. We're not traveling to the States. And

207
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 7>I said, yeah, I know, but it's a big two fiftieth.

208
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:14.360
<v Speaker 7>It's a huge deal. I missed the bi centennials, so

209
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 7>I had to come for this. But if Trump was

210
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 7>it all serious, he would look at a map and

211
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:24.080
<v Speaker 7>he would recognize that there are ten huge provinces, some

212
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.919
<v Speaker 7>of them bigger than most countries, three massive territories to

213
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 7>the north. He would say, it's not one state, it's

214
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 7>at least ten states. Give us some credit. Donald for sake,

215
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.240
<v Speaker 7>Like the idea of annexation is insulting in its own right,

216
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 7>but to call it the single state just adds another layer.

217
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so let me ask you this question. Okay, I

218
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.039
<v Speaker 2>remember when Quebec this got to be what twenty years ago,

219
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 2>when Quebec wanted to succeed secede from Canada. Obviously, Quebec

220
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>is French speaking. You're part of the United Kingdom. Your

221
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.879
<v Speaker 2>monarch is Queen Elizabeth. People perhaps don't understand that relationship,

222
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 2>but it's that, it is what it is.

223
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 7>Do you think we're not part of the United Kingdom

224
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.360
<v Speaker 7>in any regard? It's a completely Canada is a completely independent,

225
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.720
<v Speaker 7>self governing country. They for some crazy historical reason, you

226
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:25.679
<v Speaker 7>decided to retain the monarch, yes, which is technically a

227
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 7>separate crown from the British crown. It's the same person,

228
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 7>but it's the Canadian crown. Okay, if you want to

229
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.600
<v Speaker 7>get me started on that, I'm all for having a

230
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 7>Canadian head of state.

231
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Well, first of all, yeah, first of all, thank

232
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>you for that correction, because I was always under the

233
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 2>impression I knew that that the that the head of

234
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 2>England was your titular head of state. I'm correct on that,

235
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>but but again I don't know how you describe it

236
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>is there?

237
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:56.919
<v Speaker 7>Now?

238
00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Did you describe it as as a Canadian? You just

239
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of it as some sort of a truncated relationship, as

240
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 2>an affiliation. What would be the proper phrase if it

241
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:07.799
<v Speaker 2>was if there is one?

242
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:12.039
<v Speaker 7>Well, our form of government is a constitutional monarchy in

243
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 7>the form of the Westminster style parliament of course, right,

244
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:21.360
<v Speaker 7>so we have retained this symbol, which I think we

245
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 7>need to get rid of. I'm with a group actually

246
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 7>it's advocating for the change to finally cut the tie.

247
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 7>But you know, there are fifteen countries around the world

248
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:34.320
<v Speaker 7>that use the same person at Buckingham Palace as their

249
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 7>head of state, but most of the Commonwealth countries do not.

250
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:42.000
<v Speaker 7>Most Commonwealth countries are republics, and I think Canada should

251
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.159
<v Speaker 7>join them. But getting back to Trump, if I can't,

252
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 7>I just you know, if he wants to sell this

253
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:53.279
<v Speaker 7>idea of closer association, if not multiple statehoods for the provinces,

254
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.519
<v Speaker 7>he's got to do a better job in selling it.

255
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 7>This is why I don't think he's serious, because he's

256
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:01.679
<v Speaker 7>not addressing any of the key questions He could make

257
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.559
<v Speaker 7>this much more appealing to Canadians if he said, hey, guys,

258
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 7>you know what would be nice a single currency, you know,

259
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 7>let's unify economically, or let's share more integrated military defense.

260
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 7>You know, let's have this and that. But no, he's

261
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.200
<v Speaker 7>not really looking at that. And what baffles me is

262
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.600
<v Speaker 7>that nobody in the media that I have seen in

263
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:28.080
<v Speaker 7>either country is questioning him on the details. How would

264
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:32.000
<v Speaker 7>a parliamentary system that we have federally and for every

265
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.080
<v Speaker 7>province be integrated as US states? How would that happen?

266
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.879
<v Speaker 7>Would what would we do with Quebec which has a

267
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 7>distinct identity, and although the majority is not interested in

268
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 7>independence any longer, there is this kind of it's on

269
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.840
<v Speaker 7>the back burner, this simmering thing, and there's a distinct

270
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.200
<v Speaker 7>sense of uniqueness, the language, the culture that's reflected in

271
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.360
<v Speaker 7>films and music that even the rest of English Canada

272
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 7>doesn't hear because we don't speak French.

273
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. My only thought, and I wonder if you thought

274
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:11.640
<v Speaker 2>this is possible, is that, Look, Western Canada is pretty conservative.

275
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>They they they tend to vote uh in what do

276
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.279
<v Speaker 2>you call them? In their ridings? Which is there the

277
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>equivalent of our congressional districts. A lot of the ridings

278
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.960
<v Speaker 2>in Ottawa that used to be conservative are now counted

279
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 2>in the liberal category of parliament. But in the in

280
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:39.480
<v Speaker 2>the West Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitola, some of those uh, you know, provinces,

281
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker 2>would they be I mean, do you think that Trump

282
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.039
<v Speaker 2>is thinking, hey, maybe if I could break off a

283
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.440
<v Speaker 2>couple of them, we would pick up some energy. I mean,

284
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>do you do you think there is a or do

285
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.240
<v Speaker 2>you think that there's no difference between how people in

286
00:17:54.319 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Ontario and Quebec and the western provinces field towards aligning

287
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 2>with the US. I think it's all a pipe dream anyway.

288
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.960
<v Speaker 2>But I'm just trying to figure out what could possibly

289
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.599
<v Speaker 2>possibly he'd be thinking.

290
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 7>Well, if you're trying to take the temperature of the West,

291
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 7>Alberta would have the greatest number of those who would

292
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 7>be in favor of some type of a political union

293
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.319
<v Speaker 7>with the US. But even that is a very slim minority.

294
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Gotcha.

295
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.920
<v Speaker 7>Yes, the West votes conservative until you get to the

296
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 7>coast in British Columbia. Yeah, but that doesn't mean that

297
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.440
<v Speaker 7>they're in favor in any way of what Trump is

298
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 7>floating here.

299
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So My bottom line too, is from your position,

300
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 2>this is an impossibility. I agree with you. Why is

301
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Trump's trolling? Why is he trolling? I mean I can

302
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>see that he better not call the Canada the fifty

303
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.359
<v Speaker 2>first state to Carnie's face, that's for sure. And he

304
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't do that today.

305
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 7>He did it well, did he say fifty one through sixty?

306
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. No, no, no, no, no, no no, there

307
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.920
<v Speaker 2>was none of that. No, he was actually, you know,

308
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.160
<v Speaker 2>he behaved himself today.

309
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:10.519
<v Speaker 7>And he didn't call him a governor like he did

310
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:11.799
<v Speaker 7>with exactly.

311
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.200
<v Speaker 2>There was no welcome governor crime. No, there was none

312
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 2>of that foolishness. There was not. So what, I just

313
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:18.839
<v Speaker 2>think he likes to troll, troll people.

314
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 7>I don't think he thinks about what the ramifications are.

315
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 7>Because in doing this, in saying these words, you know, are,

316
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 7>he has united Canadians like nothing has done in recent memory.

317
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 7>I mean, the country is so united against the United States,

318
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:39.200
<v Speaker 7>we which.

319
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Is other than the than the four country cop of

320
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 2>a couple of months.

321
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:48.839
<v Speaker 7>Ago that that hockey game became Well, of course there

322
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 7>were political overtones.

323
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I know, I know, I know. Hey, look I

324
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.960
<v Speaker 2>am so way past my break. I hate to end

325
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 2>the conversation, do me a favor, become more of a

326
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:01.960
<v Speaker 2>going to call it whether you're in Arlington or you're

327
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 2>back home. I really mean that, Wayne, I really enjoyed

328
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 2>this conversation. But I'm five minutes past my newscast.

329
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:10.920
<v Speaker 7>Thank you, Dan. I appreciate that trouble.

330
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.000

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.559
<v Speaker 7>I have called? Well, like I say, when when it

333
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 7>was Ottawa and uh and Larry Glick was on the air,

334
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:23.680
<v Speaker 7>that was the last time I call.

335

<v Speaker 2>Have you ever called Nightside? That's let's let's talk about.

00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 2>quick break. Here's the news A little late. Back on

342
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.759
<v Speaker 2>night Side. I love that call.

343
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Right after this, you're on night Side with Dan Ray

344
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on Boston's news radio.

345
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, back to the phones. Were go going to

346
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.039
<v Speaker 2>go to Patrick in Charlestown. Hey, Patrick, welcome next to

347
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:57.039
<v Speaker 2>a Nightside. How are you.

348
00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.519
<v Speaker 6>Dan? How you doing, Buddy?

349
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. So what do you think Donald Trump

350
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.039
<v Speaker 2>is doing here? Is he just simply trolling?

351
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:05.839
<v Speaker 8>Well?

352
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 6>Well, first off, to my Canadian brothers and sisters to

353
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.559
<v Speaker 6>the north, I hope you're aware that that Dan Ray

354
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 6>represented Chris Nyland. I believe one time in the Rick

355
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:15.920
<v Speaker 6>Middleton affair. Is that right?

356
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I represented Chris Nyland in his entire career and I

357
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>defended him strongly when when Middleton smashed his teeth into

358
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.880
<v Speaker 2>the butt end of Nyland stick.

359
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 6>And I love Nyland, man, I love him, and I

360
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 6>love that Chris is fought a good fight and then

361
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.880
<v Speaker 6>he's recovering. I think most Bostonians loved Chris Nyland despite

362
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 6>what he did to Rick Middleton.

363
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was. He was not trying to hit in

364
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:46.880
<v Speaker 2>all seriousness. He went to throw an elbow at Middleton

365
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and there was there was an inadvertent and Chris apologized

366
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to it. And I believe that that Rick Middleton was

367
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>man enough to accept the apology.

368
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.240
<v Speaker 6>You know that's Rick Middleton was a tough guy.

369
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I know he was. I know he was. And

370
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 2>I played goal against the Bruins in an into squad

371
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.640
<v Speaker 2>game in seventy eight and I had actually made a

372
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.359
<v Speaker 2>save on Middleton. I think he just fired the puck

373
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:16.119
<v Speaker 2>into my glove to help me out. But he was

374
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:18.400
<v Speaker 2>good to me. And by the way, Chris is doing

375
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:22.640
<v Speaker 2>now later this month in Montreal, you might double check

376
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 2>it a one man show on his life and career,

377
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Speaker 2>which may turn into a major We've been working on

378
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.839
<v Speaker 2>this with Chris and with a gentleman in Montreal. He'll

379
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:43.519
<v Speaker 2>be debuting this one man show in Montreal at a

380
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.720
<v Speaker 2>huge supper club later this month, in front of a

381
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 2>crowd of about six hundred people. And there's you may

382
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.799
<v Speaker 2>be hearing more about this just I'll tell you Patrick,

383
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:58.039
<v Speaker 2>as someone who I know appreciates Chris just it's ironic

384
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 2>you mention that, because I was having some conversations about

385
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:03.680
<v Speaker 2>that today. As a matter of fact, okay.

386
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 6>And I love the guy, and you know, you know,

387
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.359
<v Speaker 6>I always I always wondered and I don't know, but

388
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.839
<v Speaker 6>I always wondered if he had a part time job

389
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:16.079
<v Speaker 6>in college working in South Boston for certain people. But

390
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:17.400
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, he didn't.

391
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Know, he did not know. As a matter of fact,

392
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you truthfully that one of the things

393
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.640
<v Speaker 2>that I talked with Chris about was to keep that

394
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 2>familiar relationship separate and he did. He did. He did

395
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.920
<v Speaker 2>trust me on that, and he went through a lot,

396
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, in post career, he coached. He was, you know,

397
00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.720
<v Speaker 2>a guy who was drafted I think it was two

398
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty first. He was the second last guy drafted.

399
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 2>And he attributes Judge Paul King, who was a district

400
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.119
<v Speaker 2>court judge here in Boston and a big supporter of Chris.

401
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And also King was a friend of a couple of

402
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the old time Canadians, being Doug Harvey and Dicky Moore,

403
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.920
<v Speaker 2>and he suggested to them that Chris would be drafted.

404
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:07.119
<v Speaker 2>They never realized that he would end up playing thirteen

405
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.480
<v Speaker 2>years in the NHL and UH and and have an impact.

406
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.960
<v Speaker 2>He then went and coached. He was an assistant coach

407
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 2>with Jacques la merit New Jersey, and coached in the

408
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:21.160
<v Speaker 2>East Coast Hockey League and and finally Fake faced up,

409
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.880
<v Speaker 2>as a lot of players do, to some addiction problems,

410
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>which he's talked about publicly and and he beat the

411
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:34.839
<v Speaker 2>addictions and he is he's in better shaped today, uh psychologically,

412
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:38.599
<v Speaker 2>mentally and maybe even arguably physically that he was back

413
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:38.960
<v Speaker 2>in the day.

414
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 6>I want to mess. I want to mess with him.

415
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:43.799
<v Speaker 2>A point?

416
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, go ahead, I have a point. So who

417
00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 6>is grapes to you? Do you? Who's who?

418
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Do?

419
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:50.920
<v Speaker 6>Who's the name? Who do we call grapes in Boston

420
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:54.640
<v Speaker 6>and the Boston Hockey World? Did Don Cherry? Is that

421
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:55.839
<v Speaker 6>what we call Don Cherry?

422
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Is?

423
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 6>Greats? Right?

424
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Great? Sure? Yeah? I thought you were saying great originally? Yeah? Great?

425
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Was Donald Cherry's cherry? Let me play in the intersquad game.

426
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 2>I owe that to Cherry and to Nate Greenberg. Go

427
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 2>right ahead.

428
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:12.039
<v Speaker 6>How did he lose his career? Dad? This is relevant

429
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:14.119
<v Speaker 6>to what we're talking about. How did he just lose

430
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 6>his career? About two years ago.

431
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.000
<v Speaker 2>He made some comments, and I forget exactly what they

432
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 2>were that were considered politically incorrect. I guess would be.

433
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.000
<v Speaker 6>The poppy on it. He said that the immigrants should

434
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.680
<v Speaker 6>respect the veterans of Canada more, and that because they

435
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:30.960
<v Speaker 6>don't wear the poppies on their clothes, that they come

436
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.119
<v Speaker 6>from milk and honey and the land of Canada and

437
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:35.359
<v Speaker 6>they don't respect it. And he got fired for that.

438
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.480
<v Speaker 6>And I think what we're not talking about here is

439
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:42.279
<v Speaker 6>that the left in Canada has so much power that

440
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:46.720
<v Speaker 6>they've converted that country so quickly, and it's but unrecognizable,

441
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.039
<v Speaker 6>and they don't love the Canadian people. And what Donald

442
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:53.359
<v Speaker 6>Trump is really saying is I see that, and I'll

443
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:56.000
<v Speaker 6>do something about it. So you Canadians who don't like

444
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.160
<v Speaker 6>being replaced through immigration, right Donald Trump is That's what

445
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.160
<v Speaker 6>he's really saying. I can do something about this. I

446
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 6>can I can stop your country from being flooded. I

447
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.880
<v Speaker 6>can stop you from being being afraid to speak your mind,

448
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:13.759
<v Speaker 6>like Don Sherry. And and that's what he's really saying.

449
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.200
<v Speaker 6>That nobody is talking about the turning turn of Donald

450
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:17.400
<v Speaker 6>Trump into this evil guy.

451
00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.640
<v Speaker 2>We know the only thing. The only thing I can

452
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 2>say is that the and again I don't like the

453
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:25.640
<v Speaker 2>word replaced that you're using, but but let me let

454
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:32.079
<v Speaker 2>that go for now. I do think that his comments

455
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.680
<v Speaker 2>about Canada UH and about fifty first staid and calling

456
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Trudeau governor, I think that that the election results when

457
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Trudeau resigned Carnie uh who's who went to Harvard by

458
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:50.759
<v Speaker 2>the way, as you know as and was a backup

459
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 2>goaltender at Harvard. UH. Carne Uh was was the long

460
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:01.160
<v Speaker 2>shot to win. The Conservatives were predicted to win. And

461
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 2>it's almost as if Donald Trump wanted the Liberal Party

462
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 2>to maintain control in Canada, and that's what all the

463
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.799
<v Speaker 2>polls indicate. Connie was down by any where fifteen eighteen points,

464
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.920
<v Speaker 2>and he pulled out a fairly comfortable victory. And I

465
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 2>think that the people of Canada rose up and said,

466
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.920
<v Speaker 2>you can insult our prime minister. Your con insult our country.

467
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>And I don't understand what Trump was trying to accomplish there.

468
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 2>If he had not said anything, I think that it

469
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.079
<v Speaker 2>would be now a conservative government similar to what Brian

470
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 2>mulrooney ran when Reagan was president back in the eighties.

471
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.559
<v Speaker 6>No two countries in the history of the world have

472
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:47.160
<v Speaker 6>been better friends than Canada and the United States. No

473
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:51.119
<v Speaker 6>two countries are better friends than Canada in the United States.

474
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.000
<v Speaker 6>Donald Trump doesn't have hostile intentions for Canada. He loves Canada,

475
00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:55.519
<v Speaker 6>no question.

476
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And we're not going to invade Canada. We're not

477
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:01.880
<v Speaker 2>going to invade Greenland. I think the point when when

478
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.480
<v Speaker 2>when President Trump talks about Panama, I think there's a

479
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of substance to what needs to be done in Panama,

480
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:12.000
<v Speaker 2>which might include some military action because China is all

481
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.880
<v Speaker 2>around Panama at this point. And if China ever takes

482
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 2>control of Panama Canal and prevents you as ships from

483
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>going through Panama Canal. Now, now you're talking about all

484
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the all the chips are on the table, and you

485
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 2>don't want to get to that point in my in

486
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:28.160
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, but I get you points. I get your points.

487
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Patrick is always appreciate your calling you. You represent a

488
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 2>strong point of view. We'll talk sooner. When I see

489
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Chris some time later this month, I'll tell him he

490
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 2>said hello.

491
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 6>Okay, he's a great guy.

492
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:39.799
<v Speaker 9>Man.

493
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 6>Good thanks to the show again.

494
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 2>You're welcome. Thanks man.

495
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 6>We love Canada, everybody. We love you guys, so don't

496
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 6>be so upset.

497
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, I want to hear from more Canadian

498
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 2>listeners on this as well. Either way and no, And

499
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Patrick means that when he says he loves Canada, I

500
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.160
<v Speaker 2>believe he does. Back on Night's Side, we're going to

501
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:58.640
<v Speaker 2>keep this conversation going right after this break.

502
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.920
<v Speaker 1>It's Nightside with Boston's Radio.

503
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let me see to get everybody in there real quickly.

504
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Mark in Dan.

505
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 9>Thanks you okay taking my call. I think this is

506
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 9>so sad what's happening with Canada. I mean, my family

507
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.160
<v Speaker 9>visited Montreal when I was a kid, and as a

508
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:29.599
<v Speaker 9>young adult I spent a long weekend at a bed

509
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:34.920
<v Speaker 9>and breakfast in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and the Canadians could

510
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 9>not have been friendlier. And I think Donald Trump just

511
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 9>simply does not know what he is doing geopolitically. I

512
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:50.319
<v Speaker 9>think the next president will have to say, listen, sorry

513
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:55.759
<v Speaker 9>about that, Canada. We fully respect your independence and sovereignty

514
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:59.759
<v Speaker 9>and hope that hope that this all blows over.

515
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll see what happens. Mark, I think he's trolling people.

516
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he has.

517
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:10.920
<v Speaker 9>I don't I don't think he knows what he's doing geopolitically.

518
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.119
<v Speaker 9>I think one of the first rules is that you

519
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:16.960
<v Speaker 9>do what you can to get along with your neighbors.

520
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Did you watch the event that they held in the

521
00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Oval Office.

522
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:28.240
<v Speaker 9>Today, Mark, I I didn't watch it. Wise, I just saw.

523
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.599
<v Speaker 2>A suggestion to very firm, let me make a suggestion.

524
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 9>Why but very firm, why don't you make.

525
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Let me make a suggestion. Why don't you go back

526
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:40.559
<v Speaker 2>and see if you can find the entire exchange, the

527
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:43.839
<v Speaker 2>greeting uh that they had and then the questions and

528
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:47.599
<v Speaker 2>see it in context. I thought that both President Trump

529
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 2>and Carney did what they had to do. I think

530
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:57.200
<v Speaker 2>that Trump is engaging in unnecessary again, I would call

531
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 2>it trolling. Obviously, there was a just disdain that he

532
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 2>had for former Prime Minister Trudeau that that he did

533
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 2>not display this this day towards Mark Carney and towards

534
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister Carnie.

535
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:16.240
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, but you see, if it's a fellow democracy,

536
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.599
<v Speaker 9>you just have to work with.

537
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't disagree with you, Mark, I don't I don't

538
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.519
<v Speaker 2>agree with you. All you're asking to do is take

539
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 2>take the opportunity today to go find that in its entirety.

540
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 2>And I think that you're not going to change your mind.

541
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.000
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to change your line.

542
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 9>But if I can mind it on cable.

543
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.200
<v Speaker 2>TV, now, yeah, you'll be able to find it somewhere

544
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:39.160
<v Speaker 2>on Google or something like that. That'll be easy.

545
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:42.839
<v Speaker 9>Mark, I don't have computer access in my apartment.

546
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, you got a library, you know, you get the

547
00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:47.200
<v Speaker 2>library tomorrow sometime. I think you'd enjoy it. It's probably

548
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:50.359
<v Speaker 2>been about twenty minute view and I think you'd enjoy it.

549
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.359
<v Speaker 2>I watched it in its entirety today and I thought

550
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.559
<v Speaker 2>I thought that they both handled themselves well, particularly with

551
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the questions that they had to deal with. Thanks Mark,

552
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.880
<v Speaker 2>talk soon. Thank you. Let me go next to billing

553
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Pennsylvania Building.

554
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:06.559
<v Speaker 8>Next on Nightside, Go right ahead, Thanks Dan. Hey, I

555
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.799
<v Speaker 8>agree with you. I think he's trolling them, and uh,

556
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:13.359
<v Speaker 8>I can't I can't believe that. Uh, the press is

557
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 8>not I mean it's it's it's just amazing to me

558
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:20.079
<v Speaker 8>that our press is not caught on to what what

559
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:23.079
<v Speaker 8>this guy is doing to him. You know, he had him,

560
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:27.119
<v Speaker 8>he had him, uh, you know, in the corner last time,

561
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 8>and they never learned. They never learned anything. I got

562
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 8>a lot of friends out in British Columbia, used to

563
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 8>hang out out there. What a wonderful place that is.

564
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 8>I can tell you all the all the all the

565
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.400
<v Speaker 8>people that I know in Canada, Okay, still have a

566
00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 8>lot of respect for for America, and most of them

567
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.000
<v Speaker 8>like what Trump's doing. But they know that they know

568
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:50.480
<v Speaker 8>what he's not.

569
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Well it was it didn't reflect it building the election

570
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:55.680
<v Speaker 2>that they just had.

571
00:32:56.440 --> 00:33:01.039
<v Speaker 8>Hell, yeah, that's true, that's true. But uh, I'm talking

572
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:02.519
<v Speaker 8>to the people that I talked to up there.

573
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, just taking the broad of view. Hey,

574
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.759
<v Speaker 2>I hope to hear from some listeners in Canada. We

575
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of listeners up in Canada. I would

576
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:13.640
<v Speaker 2>love to know what they're thinking right now. I think

577
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>there's I think they're strolling them. That's what I think.

578
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 6>I agree with most people.

579
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Just want enough to figure that out.

580
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.640
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, man, two things that there's two things that

581
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.279
<v Speaker 8>happened to Canada over the last couple of years. One

582
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 8>was when they when they uh uh came down hard

583
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:31.839
<v Speaker 8>on the truckers. Okay, they're in.

584
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:32.799
<v Speaker 2>That was Trudeau.

585
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:36.599
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that was Trudeau. And the other one, okay, is

586
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 8>when they banned all pistols, all all handguns. You're not

587
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:43.720
<v Speaker 8>allowed to earn a handgun anymore in Canada.

588
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:47.920
<v Speaker 2>That's good to know. I did not realize that.

589
00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:51.680
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they banned they banned handguns. And and the other

590
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 8>thing is if if you know, we got our second Amendment.

591
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:58.680
<v Speaker 8>And Democrats are always telling about the Constitution, the Constitution

592
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 8>a bit every time I turn around there trying to

593
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 8>take my Second Amendment right away from me. But there

594
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 8>are so many Canada Canadians Dan that just wish that

595
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:09.239
<v Speaker 8>they had a second Amendment.

596
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, it didn't reflect that in the last election, so

597
00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:17.119
<v Speaker 2>that's all I'm telling you. I mean, there may be

598
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people up there, but I think that

599
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:24.239
<v Speaker 2>they have basically returned the Liberal Party to power, which

600
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 2>is the equivalent of our Democratic Party. And and I

601
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.000
<v Speaker 2>think that Donald Trump helped like Mark Carney in my opinion.

602
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 6>But you're right.

603
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, Hey, Bill, appreciate as always, thank you. Thanks.

604
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Man to talk soon. I'm gonna try to get one

605
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 2>more in here. Warren is in Fall River, Warren, you

606
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:42.239
<v Speaker 2>were next on Nice Sacer right head Warren, Hey.

607
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:47.519
<v Speaker 10>Dan, Yeah, I think that all this is just feeding

608
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:52.599
<v Speaker 10>feeding Trump's ego, you know, I mean I think he

609
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:58.480
<v Speaker 10>has a lot of synchropha sinkle fans around him telling

610
00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:59.760
<v Speaker 10>him how rate he is.

611
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.000
<v Speaker 2>And most president, most most presidents have had a lot

612
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.880
<v Speaker 2>of syncophants around them. And there's no exception there's there.

613
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:10.599
<v Speaker 10>You know, he has a he has a ton around

614
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:12.880
<v Speaker 10>him saying, oh yeah, you're the best, the o, the best.

615
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.559
<v Speaker 10>And you know, his ego is like the size of

616
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:17.400
<v Speaker 10>New York City right now.

617
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.159
<v Speaker 2>And.

618
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.119
<v Speaker 10>It really is. But you know, I don't understand why

619
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:27.840
<v Speaker 10>would you make an enemy, like why would you you know,

620
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.679
<v Speaker 10>do what he's doing with Canada is like you know,

621
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:38.039
<v Speaker 10>insulting them. It makes no sense. I mean, it makes

622
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:42.679
<v Speaker 10>it makes all they're all mad at me, but what

623
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:44.079
<v Speaker 10>he's doing, yeah.

624
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:47.599
<v Speaker 2>It makes no sense to me either, because again I

625
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:52.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know that the Conservative MP Member of Parliament, uh

626
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Pierre Poulvo I believe was how his name is pronounced,

627
00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>that that that he was a scintillating candidate, but certainly

628
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:04.440
<v Speaker 2>President Trump did nothing to help his candidacy and you

629
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 2>would have gone.

630
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:09.840
<v Speaker 10>Now Trump is the reason why the Liberals won up

631
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:15.679
<v Speaker 10>there exactly, exactly exactly, and I don't I really don't

632
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.679
<v Speaker 10>understand it. Like my ex girlfriend though, you know, a

633
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:22.719
<v Speaker 10>woman that I was that I was very close to marrying,

634
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:28.039
<v Speaker 10>she saw, you know, after the fifty first state comment,

635
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.800
<v Speaker 10>she went in to you know, and did work for

636
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:35.400
<v Speaker 10>I can't pronounce his name, Tall Twalls of the Year

637
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 10>or whatever it is he you know, he started working,

638
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:47.079
<v Speaker 10>you know, And and it's just I don't know, I

639
00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:53.719
<v Speaker 10>don't get why why insult a good friend couldn't more.

640
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna leave that that question and hopefully it's going

641
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:58.400
<v Speaker 2>to be answered on the other side. I hope you

642
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:00.960
<v Speaker 2>have from some of our listeners in Canada, whatever their

643
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:05.760
<v Speaker 2>political persuasion, simple as that one great club. Thank you much,

644
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.559
<v Speaker 2>great club. Here comes the eleven o'clock news. Let me

645
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:09.920
<v Speaker 2>get out of the way. I'll be back on the

646
00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 2>other side with more calls. We have one line six

647
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:14.480
<v Speaker 2>one seven, two, five, four ten thirty and one line

648
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:18.960
<v Speaker 2>at six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. Donald

649
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Trump is a complicated person. Okay, I think we can

650
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:24.519
<v Speaker 2>agree upon that. Back after this
