Speaker 1: It's nice eyes, Dan Ray unrebellian Mazy Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, we're talking about a poll that was conducted
Speaker 2: by the University of Massachusetts that found the highest percentage
Speaker 2: of Massachusetts residents ever or i should say, in over
Speaker 2: four years, police base state is on the wrong track.
Speaker 2: Forty one percent of the respondents say the common walts
Speaker 2: moving in the wrong direction. Do you agree or disagree
Speaker 2: if you go back just two years ago, little over, well, no,
Speaker 2: actually four years ago, to go back to the height
Speaker 2: of the COVID pandemic in August of twenty twenty, things
Speaker 2: were pretty tough. Back then, twenty eight percent of the
Speaker 2: people in Massachusetts felt the state was in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: Now four years later, it's forty one percent. So we
Speaker 2: got problems, and that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna
Speaker 2: talk about them. We'll continue on here. Who Bill and
Speaker 2: Lowell has called back. So let's let's give Bill a shot.
Speaker 2: He was he was on before. Bill, you were back here,
Speaker 2: go right ahead, sir. Well, maybe he's not, so we'll
Speaker 2: put him on hold again. We're patient. He gets three
Speaker 2: three shots. Let's go to Eric and Appleborrow. Hey, Eric,
Speaker 2: how are you tonight.
Speaker 3: Good Dan, How are you doing.
Speaker 2: Well? It's great to hear your voice.
Speaker 3: No, I I've been trying to call a little bit more.
Speaker 3: I mean, just you know, quick back, I've listened to
Speaker 3: you since i'd say two thousand and eight, like twenty ten,
Speaker 3: probably the first time.
Speaker 2: So I've been doing this show since since two thousand
Speaker 2: and seven.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead, yes, and I mean, I will admit
Speaker 3: there's been you know, periods of time like when I'm
Speaker 3: just not listening to am radio. So like you know,
Speaker 3: just like sometimes just follow out the way you know
Speaker 3: I'm gonna. I've always enjoyed into your show. It's it's
Speaker 3: but also you know, it's it's quality, it's solid. And
Speaker 3: that's why I wanted to point this out when you
Speaker 3: talk about this poll, like there's something that's so much
Speaker 3: more profound in terms of like the way that the
Speaker 3: you know, forty years ago, like being the United Nations,
Speaker 3: you know, classified a refugee. Okay, if somebody that was
Speaker 3: like whose life was in danger in their home country
Speaker 3: and they needed asylum, that was like a very furious, real,
Speaker 3: you know, threat to that to that person who required asylum.
Speaker 3: And I and I mean I followed this, you know,
Speaker 3: I read a lot of the you know, I've just
Speaker 3: been following this topic pretty closely with the changes with
Speaker 3: the United Nations, and slowly over the course of time
Speaker 3: that the ground has been softened for where economic migrant
Speaker 3: becomes interchangeable with refugee and you know kind of you know,
Speaker 3: to explain to people that the necessity to have to
Speaker 3: bring in people that are not refugees like fleeing a
Speaker 3: crisis in their home country, it's it's baffling to Americans that,
Speaker 3: you know, I would say, you know, the critical costs
Speaker 3: to live like food, housing, transportation, medical, I'm forty five
Speaker 3: years old. I'd say that these costs have astronomically exploded
Speaker 3: in proportion to like wages and earnings for just ordinary
Speaker 3: working class, you know, like you know, middle class, you know,
Speaker 3: middle to upper middle to lower just working people, like
Speaker 3: their wages do not keep pace with these exploding costs.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, they certain paced in the last four years.
Speaker 2: We've had a huge in Anybody who who's gone to
Speaker 2: a grocery store recently understands that, oh yeah, absolutely yeah.
Speaker 3: And then that's another thing too, so so like another
Speaker 3: part of the root of the rot is like somehow
Speaker 3: like with you know, morphing the definition of a refugee
Speaker 3: and migrant into like you know, one and the same,
Speaker 3: like almost you know, it's pathological altruism. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't mean to use that as a pejorative, but
Speaker 3: it's true. Like there is a force you know, certain
Speaker 3: social uh you know political, you know forces you know
Speaker 3: who are passionate about their beliefs that you know, rally
Speaker 3: for you know, social justice. I respect it, but almost
Speaker 3: you know, make it the imperative, like a moral imperative
Speaker 3: for a monolithic, homogenous group to have to welcome.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well well said and well reasoned. I would just simply.
Speaker 3: There was just one one more thing I wanted to say,
Speaker 3: and I appreciate you. Let me speak then, like is
Speaker 3: that see inflation? Like we all know it's real, I
Speaker 3: mean like strict you know, I mean the print you know,
Speaker 3: just the availability of I don't like to say money
Speaker 3: machine go burr, but the printing of the money during
Speaker 3: you know, during the pandemic, you know, money that you
Speaker 3: know for the Cares Act, and also money that was
Speaker 3: you know, injected by the Federal Reserve into the equity
Speaker 3: markets to retire treasury stock. I mean, you know, that
Speaker 3: is inflation, and that's the other crisis we have. We
Speaker 3: have leadership that tells us. Number one, we don't have
Speaker 3: a national identity. We're just an idea. Like America is
Speaker 3: just an idea. It's not a nation state. It's not
Speaker 3: a civilizational state, like like there's no such thing as
Speaker 3: an American. It's an idea. And also we have leadership
Speaker 3: that lies to us. I mean that that you know,
Speaker 3: everyone knows. I mean it's real, like that inflation is
Speaker 3: or was real. And but for leadership, and it's both sides, Okay, Democrat, Republic,
Speaker 3: it's all the same. See the Press secretary is up there,
Speaker 3: just you know, obfuscating, contorting, conflating, you know, just totally.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Well, ye let me bring you back here, let me
Speaker 2: let me really you back in for a second. Okay, first, okay, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that you've hit upon some wonderful points.
Speaker 2: But one, we no longer have borders. Okay. We've had
Speaker 2: millions of people across our borders from around the world.
Speaker 2: I think it's one hundred and eighty five countries that
Speaker 2: come in from It's just not people coming across from
Speaker 2: Mexico or people sneaking in from Canada. It's a worldwide
Speaker 2: crisis now, maybe because travel is easier. Look anyone who
Speaker 2: is studying this and has looked at the people coming
Speaker 2: across the border. You have the people who clearly have
Speaker 2: nothing except the clothes in their back, and yet I
Speaker 2: saw groups of Chinese people coming in with rollaway luggage
Speaker 2: dressed they look like they were a professional soccer team
Speaker 2: on a CBS report that sharonel Fonsi did a few
Speaker 2: months ago. So there's a white swathe here. In addition
Speaker 2: to that, we have a federal debt of thirty five
Speaker 2: trillion dollars. What percentage of the American public do you
Speaker 2: think could quote that figure accurately? I assume you know
Speaker 2: what that number is. What percentage of the American public
Speaker 2: do you think knows or cares how much of a
Speaker 2: federal debt this country is carrying?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a very small minute percentage, Like actually
Speaker 3: realize the enormity of what that means. So we have
Speaker 3: dumbed down.
Speaker 2: We have dumbed down intentionally with dumbed down high schools.
Speaker 2: No longer do they teach any sort of home act
Speaker 2: or civics sort of the basic courses that high school
Speaker 2: students need to get a little bit a knowledge about.
Speaker 2: They don't they don't them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, see I look at you know, that's
Speaker 3: a big part. Like it's so easy to point out,
Speaker 3: you know, to point out the problems and unfortunately, you know,
Speaker 3: well that's what I thought. And and my part of
Speaker 3: like a radical solution I have, which could be you know,
Speaker 3: depending on which well which you know, Trust and Safety Council, uh,
Speaker 3: social media, uh, you know, mechanism however they deem you know,
Speaker 3: my my radical solution or one is I want, you know,
Speaker 3: for children. I mean, that's the future of a nation,
Speaker 3: is the children. And beyond just being equipped with Shakespeare
Speaker 3: and trigonometry. I want children. I mean radical overhaul of
Speaker 3: public you know, education system or maybe a pail system
Speaker 3: that's made available, you know. I mean I'm speaking in
Speaker 3: ideological terms.
Speaker 2: Out No, it's called charter schools. It's called charter schools,
Speaker 2: but the public steachers unions. But death to that.
Speaker 3: Well, but but I guess i'd say to utopian sense
Speaker 3: of the word, it would be a public school where
Speaker 3: we're going to cut out some of the trigonometry in
Speaker 3: Shakespeare and we're going to teach kids two primary like
Speaker 3: concepts like from K through twelve, which is number one
Speaker 3: is you know, self defense and taking care of oneself.
Speaker 3: So it's not just you know, self defense and combat,
Speaker 3: but also how to forage for food, how to prepare
Speaker 3: a meal, how to properly thought out, you know, meet,
Speaker 3: you know how to, you know how to do laundry.
Speaker 3: As they get older, you know how to you know
Speaker 3: multituder things. And then another philosophy is you know how
Speaker 3: you know first aid, like caring for their comrade or
Speaker 3: for their neighbor. Because we don't have a hot we
Speaker 3: no longer have high trust society in massachut.
Speaker 2: Is Eric, I think you're you're in And I'm not
Speaker 2: criticizing to hear, but I just think that it's getting
Speaker 2: a little idyllic care And yeah, we used to look. Look,
Speaker 2: kids used to join the Cup Scouts and the Boy
Speaker 2: Scouts and they would learn that sort of stuff. They'd learn,
Speaker 2: life saving, they would learn. But but that is now
Speaker 2: fallen out of vogue. I mean, uh, the Boy Scouts
Speaker 2: I don't think really exist any longer because they were
Speaker 2: considered to be a sexist organization. There was the Boy
Speaker 2: Scouts and the Girl Scouts, and now I think so
Speaker 2: so that was attacked, that institution was attacked by people
Speaker 2: who didn't understand the value of it. That you know,
Speaker 2: boys could grow up and be boys, girls could grow
Speaker 2: up and be girls, and then eventually, you know, obviously
Speaker 2: they they end up going in high school together or whatever.
Speaker 2: So a lot of the fundamental institutions in this country
Speaker 2: have been have been set upon and destroyed. And a
Speaker 2: lot of those attitutions that you that you're talking about
Speaker 2: taught some of this self reliance and all of that.
Speaker 2: But it's a huge it is, it is a huge problem.
Speaker 2: I will never have lack of topics to talk about,
Speaker 2: but I want to focus tonight on what we can
Speaker 2: do to turn the call multa Massachusetts around. We're a
Speaker 2: one party state. It's as simple as that. So when
Speaker 2: you go to the polls, vote for the same people
Speaker 2: in office. If you're happy with what's going on, vote
Speaker 2: for the same people that are in office. Now, never
Speaker 2: vote against Incombon State Rep. We've talked about that so
Speaker 2: many times. And I don't mean to get up here
Speaker 2: in a soapbox and I'm just saying that people got
Speaker 2: to wake up.
Speaker 3: Oh No, it's good stuff. You're right, got to wake up.
Speaker 3: I can tell you my wake up call kind of
Speaker 3: came in twenty eighteen when I actually attended the first
Speaker 3: town council, you know, for the municipality I lived in
Speaker 3: at the time, and started to actually like just pay
Speaker 3: attention to how local politics work and how decisions are
Speaker 3: made on how to you know.
Speaker 2: On how Eric. I hate to do this to you, man.
Speaker 2: We've done eleven minutes and my producer's going to be
Speaker 2: screening the way past you. You do the next time
Speaker 2: you call, Let's focus down on one or two topics,
Speaker 2: because I think the two of us kind of spun
Speaker 2: off each other here and I'm not sure that that
Speaker 2: that I can't the call as well as I should have.
Speaker 3: Okay, No, yeah, I appreciate, I hear me a good point,
Speaker 3: and thank you for you know, letting me express myself.
Speaker 2: In Yeah, call, call more often, and let's focus on
Speaker 2: what we're talking about that particular night, and then you
Speaker 2: can call frequently. That's what I That's what I need you.
Speaker 2: People people call and they feel they got to get
Speaker 2: everything out at one time, and what I'd rather do
Speaker 2: is just deal with one or two topics tonight. I'm
Speaker 2: talking about the direction of the common wealth and what
Speaker 2: can we do to make Massachusetts better. We got a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff going for us, but right now we
Speaker 2: have a situation where we got people coming in here
Speaker 2: who are just taking money away from programs that we
Speaker 2: need for people in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: I agree, I mean, I think the number one thing
Speaker 3: people get, the compassionate and considerate or the surroundings to
Speaker 3: begin with, absolutely good.
Speaker 2: Agree with you more. Thanks, Eric, appreciate it, Thank you much.
Speaker 2: All right, coming right back. I promise I'll move it
Speaker 2: quit more quickly. Eric's was a good guy, good caller.
Speaker 2: One word led to another. Let's focus on Massachusetts and
Speaker 2: let's focus on what we can do to make Massachusetts
Speaker 2: work better. We got problems right now. Okay, this poll
Speaker 2: shows the problems, but they identify solutions which will only
Speaker 2: make the problems, in my opinion, worse. If you agree, fine,
Speaker 2: if you disagree, even better. Coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 1: Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: What we'll get Massachusetts back on track. This poll says
Speaker 2: forty one percent of people in Massachusetts think we're on
Speaker 2: the wrong track. What will get us back in the
Speaker 2: right track? Joe and Dorchester. Joe next on Nightside, go righthead, Joe.
Speaker 4: How are you doing, Dan?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. What's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 5: What can get us back.
Speaker 2: On the right track.
Speaker 5: I was just listening to the last conversation. It was
Speaker 5: all over. But anyway, Uh. I used to drive a
Speaker 5: bus for in Massachusetts, you know, for Boston obviously, and
Speaker 5: I remember a couple of guys got on the bus.
Speaker 5: I used to drop them off in Long Island shelter
Speaker 5: over there in Quincy, and they would say, oh, we
Speaker 5: love Massachusetts, we love coming here. I said, hey, why
Speaker 5: you know, we get free sneakers, we get free boots,
Speaker 5: we get this, you know, you get it at check
Speaker 5: you know. I said, Wow, that's great. Huh, you know,
Speaker 5: and it's just all free.
Speaker 2: It's all free, right.
Speaker 5: All free, everything free. And you know, I'm like, wow,
Speaker 5: this is justin here. I am a busting my fanny,
Speaker 5: you know. And these guys get it for free, you know.
Speaker 2: But uh, well again that that's the culture that we
Speaker 2: have in Massachusetts. And guess what, there were people in
Speaker 2: Massachusetts who really need help. They're not getting the help.
Speaker 5: Oh, I know, a lot of people are disability and everything.
Speaker 5: They were getting like eighteen dollars a month for food stamps,
Speaker 5: you know, and need people that need it. They worked before,
Speaker 5: you know, it wasn't it wasn't a handle. They worked
Speaker 5: there and you know, they needed the money and they
Speaker 5: couldn't get anything.
Speaker 2: We're spending one billion. We're spending one billion dollars a
Speaker 2: year on people who have come to Massachusetts because they
Speaker 2: know they're from they're not from this country. I have
Speaker 2: I have no problem with people coming here legally, but
Speaker 2: I have a huge problem with people coming here illegally.
Speaker 5: Let's help all people they live here, you know, and
Speaker 5: people that come legally. That's all. It's not high I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not rocket science, is what we're saying. You know.
Speaker 5: All right, I'll let you go.
Speaker 2: Daan, thank you, Joe, thank you much, appreciate your focus.
Speaker 2: Thank you. By no, let's keep let's keep rolling. He
Speaker 2: love to hear from some new callers tonight as well
Speaker 2: on this. Let me go to Peg up in Haveril, Peg. Welcome.
Speaker 2: We're we're talking about Massachusetts. According to a U to
Speaker 2: a U, mass Amherst Pole being on the ron track.
Speaker 2: Do you think we're on the right track of the
Speaker 2: wrong track here in Massachusetts. I know that's a broad question.
Speaker 6: We are so on the wrong track. Let me tell
Speaker 6: you two things, Dan. In the past two years, my
Speaker 6: rent in Massachusetts has been increased by eight hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty five dollars.
Speaker 2: Wow a month a month, that's that's ten thousand dollars
Speaker 2: a year.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I didn't even put that together. I don't
Speaker 6: even have a dishwasher, Dan, I don't even have a dishwasher.
Speaker 6: My washing machine is in my kitchen. There's a huge
Speaker 6: mouse problem. It's only a three family out in the
Speaker 6: boonies eight hundred and fifty five dollars. But the more
Speaker 6: important reason why we are not doing good as a
Speaker 6: state is last night I gave a woman, a homeless woman,
Speaker 6: a sleeping bag and some jeans and some sweaters. And
Speaker 6: she is camping, as she worded it, with a bunch
Speaker 6: of other people outside of a motel right up from
Speaker 6: the place that I work. And they can't go into
Speaker 6: the motel.
Speaker 5: They can't.
Speaker 2: That is that a motel for the folks, for the
Speaker 2: new newcomers.
Speaker 6: From what I understand, I'm not sure one hundred percent
Speaker 6: sure of that, but I believe. So that's what the
Speaker 6: woman has said. She's a status heel at the state.
Speaker 6: She's been homeless for a year and a half, and so.
Speaker 2: She's when you say she's not allowed to go into
Speaker 2: the hotel, she doesn't have the funds to go in
Speaker 2: the hotel or they have them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 6: And I haven't been down there. It's not it's probably
Speaker 6: half a mile from where I am. But if I
Speaker 6: find out that it's anything, I probably would get arrested.
Speaker 6: So if it is a hotel like that when there
Speaker 6: are people can't camping. Yeah, so here it is here.
Speaker 2: It is the middle of October. It's not going to
Speaker 2: get warmer for the next few months.
Speaker 6: Turned on my heat? Did you turn on your heat yet?
Speaker 2: Yep, yes, ye, yes, yeah, And I gave you and
Speaker 2: I have the wherewithal. How much are you paying for
Speaker 2: rent right now? If you've if it's gone up fifty dollars?
Speaker 6: Are you ready for this? I hope you're sitting down
Speaker 6: because it's so. The rent went up to twenty one
Speaker 6: hundred dollars a month. But because I told them I
Speaker 6: need a month's month as opposed to a year's lease,
Speaker 6: I can't do a year's least because I'm I'm moving out.
Speaker 6: I have to find some place, you know, which we did,
Speaker 6: but they're charging me an extra hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 6: This is a management company that there was a local
Speaker 6: people that owned property in the town I live in,
Speaker 6: and they retired a couple of years ago. They sold
Speaker 6: their properties and one place bought it whoever, but a
Speaker 6: management company ran it for a year and then they
Speaker 6: sold the properties and split them up. And the management
Speaker 6: company that we went to, they're awful, but eight hundred
Speaker 6: and fifty five dollars. And I've talked to you before.
Speaker 6: I told you I'm very close to retirement and die
Speaker 6: of a hot attack.
Speaker 5: First, I hear you.
Speaker 2: I totally hear you. Yeah, I am twenty one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: That's twenty five thousand dollars a year to rent an apartment.
Speaker 2: And again, you're not in the seaport, you're not in
Speaker 2: downtown Boston. You're in Haral, which is a lovely community.
Speaker 2: But that's a lot of money in Habral And yeah,
Speaker 2: so I think you think we're going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: That homeless woman who you were kind enough to give
Speaker 2: a sleeping bag to and some clothes. Wow, you know
Speaker 2: the people don't have a voice, but come on in
Speaker 2: and again a billion dollars a year on newcomers. People
Speaker 2: who have come to this country.
Speaker 6: Not newcomers, they're they're here legally.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: No, it's euphemism that is used by the people who
Speaker 2: are in charge. You know. Well, they actually have signs
Speaker 2: welcome to the newcomers. It's like, oh, you've moved here
Speaker 2: from California. How are you tonight, Well, welcome to Massachusetts. No,
Speaker 2: you've moved here from Croatia, or from Peru or from Venezuela.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, yeah, and I can tell you stories. Actually,
Speaker 6: I think I owe you a phone call.
Speaker 2: Give me a call. Well, this is a good one.
Speaker 2: You call any night, okay, Beeg, I really mean that, seriously,
Speaker 2: you call me any night. Okay. Since since you we
Speaker 2: did a kind thing for the woman, I want to
Speaker 2: send you a night side T shirt. It won't keep
Speaker 2: you warm in the winter, but it'll be an extra
Speaker 2: layer of clothing. We for our buddies at college Hype

Speaker 2: coming right back on Nightside, Some.
Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray on ws Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: All let's get back to the calls. We get everyone in,
Speaker 2: I promise, Tom and Ohio, Tom, how are you doing
Speaker 2: in Ohio? You know how you're here, how we're doing
Speaker 2: here in Massachusetts? Go right ahead.
Speaker 7: Oh well, it's a little chilly, and yes I have
Speaker 7: it with furnace and I've kicked it up and not lately.
Speaker 7: But you know, Dan, at the end of your show,
Speaker 7: I get a little bit choked up every time when
Speaker 7: you say all your pets go to heaven and everything and.
Speaker 2: All dogs, cats, all pets go to heaven. I do
Speaker 2: believe that.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, uh, our little dog, Talco. He was
Speaker 7: a half miniature pincher, half Chihuahwei and he has little left.
Speaker 7: He had these big ears. He's picked up ears from there.
Speaker 7: The left ear was always turned to the left hand
Speaker 7: turned so but he he's he caught. He would catch moles.
Speaker 7: We have these and you're walking around in your grass
Speaker 7: and it feels like it's all sponge and there's these
Speaker 7: tunnels and anything stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know, I know moles, absolutely, I'm familiar
Speaker 2: with moles.
Speaker 7: But he would catch moles here and there, and I
Speaker 7: mean at her house, and then she would she would
Speaker 7: go to her daughter's her her father's house in Washington, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 7: and I'm in Ohio and she's he's she's like, she
Speaker 7: caught five moles. But you had to get the mole
Speaker 7: out of his mouth before he swallow. What the other
Speaker 7: was He didn't do a road trip, so well up
Speaker 7: throwing up. So anyhow, I asked you, Well, he made
Speaker 7: it like two months ago. He would have been fifteen
Speaker 7: this month, probably a bit. So I asked her one time,
Speaker 7: I said, if I told everybody that Talker had caught
Speaker 7: like a hundred moles in his lifetime, I'd be exaggerating.
Speaker 7: She goes, Oh, he's caught way more than that. He
Speaker 7: would go to paps and you catch like five in
Speaker 7: the afternoon or something. But well, one thing you could
Speaker 7: improve on in Massachusetts. There's too many syllables. I mean
Speaker 7: it's like massa and then and then there's a poor
Speaker 7: at the end. So I mean it's like more than
Speaker 7: that one. Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: Well, it's the name of it, the name of a
Speaker 2: Native American tribe. I believe.
Speaker 7: Really, Ohio probably is too. There was a little yeah,
Speaker 7: so you.
Speaker 2: Got you got a few, but you've got three syllables.
Speaker 2: You've got three syllables.
Speaker 7: Well, girl, do you have alays up there at the
Speaker 7: grocery store. You have to put your quarter in the
Speaker 7: shopping cart, so you return it something anyhow, You must not,
Speaker 7: you must, you must not. I just turned sixty five
Speaker 7: and the wife gave me a card that says old
Speaker 7: he's not always and it's got this little guy and

Speaker 7: backyard pools, this monlet, but that that kind of I
Speaker 7: just chopped wood. I chopped wood. I sell couple of
Speaker 7: thousand dollars worth of wood. A you're just for the fun.
Speaker 2: It's going to keep you in shape. That's a tough
Speaker 2: thing to do, trust me at that. My brother is
Speaker 2: a big wood chopper. He is one of those what
Speaker 2: they call him a male m O L L which
Speaker 2: was split Well, I had a mall.
Speaker 7: I have had this. I have had this big steel monster.
Speaker 7: I've had it since nineteen eighty. The top more wood
Speaker 7: with that thing, and I always it's all steel. And
Speaker 7: I said, I handed to somebody, now, don't break that.
Speaker 7: Whatever you're doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, but we're about to know. How you
Speaker 2: call him from.
Speaker 7: Just I'm like ten miles west of Wheeling, West Virginia,
Speaker 7: along the High River.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, but are you a regular listener?
Speaker 7: I listened somewhat, but yeah, you ever hear of David
Speaker 7: Schwikert And uh, he's a representative in Arizona, and he
Speaker 7: was talking about the debt. That's the reason I called.
Speaker 7: I didn't realize you were trying to be local. But
Speaker 7: and he you've got to watch him. He does these
Speaker 7: these you know, things on YouTube and see spending everything
Speaker 7: and liked about thirty or forty minutes long. But he's
Speaker 7: very passionate, and he's got these charts and stuff, and
Speaker 7: he just sits there and he's and he says, taxes
Speaker 7: are going to go up next year. That's what he said,
Speaker 7: you know, in the spring. You know, so next year. Well,
Speaker 7: but Trump gave all the billionaire's tax cuts, and then
Speaker 7: and then his treasurer secretary what's his name, minutch and
Speaker 7: Steve Manutchin gave everybody two thousand dollars and they you
Speaker 7: just can't give away two trillion dollars. And most of
Speaker 7: the people, like even myself, I've been kind of a
Speaker 7: low budget. I didn't really need two thousand dollars, you know,
Speaker 7: and most people couldn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think that was money. I think that
Speaker 2: was money, a COVID money, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, But I mean you couldn't you couldn't spend
Speaker 7: it anyhow. On Amazon I ended up making all the
Speaker 7: money because everybody's sitting on all the time.
Speaker 2: I know, I hear you, I hear you. Well, we
Speaker 2: got to get control of it. Wherever have you? This
Speaker 2: your first time calling?
Speaker 7: No, no, I call occasionally. But but David Schwiker, I
Speaker 7: think you should get him on and just do Okay,
Speaker 7: is you.
Speaker 2: Remember of Congress? Did you say, remember.
Speaker 7: Congress in Arizona?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll look him up.
Speaker 7: If you just look him up on you to. He's
Speaker 7: fascinating it at him, might not it ends well?
Speaker 2: All right, thanks man, Thank you very much. Tom. I
Speaker 2: appreciate your call about good night keeping rolling Here. We're
Speaker 2: gonna go next to Sean and Lowell. Sean you were
Speaker 2: next time, next time. Welcome, Hello, Hey Sean, Welcome, Hey Dan.
Speaker 8: I'm glad that you have like a is it called
Speaker 8: the glass thing? Is that where you're talking.
Speaker 2: From I'm talking, I'm talking remotely.
Speaker 8: I'm not in I thought you having a new studio.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, no.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, I I haven't really been
Speaker 2: in studio since COVID started. The company said to me
Speaker 2: it would be a good idea that you know you
Speaker 2: you will broadcast remotely, and I said, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2: I don't have to travel, yeah, you know, to work. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was, and so the company's been very generous to
Speaker 2: me and allowed me to set up you know, when
Speaker 2: I say set up a studio, it's it's it's it's
Speaker 2: not very elaborate. Let me put it like that. Okay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So listen for your previous caller, and he said
Speaker 8: multiple states with the S. I wonder what he thinks
Speaker 8: about Arkansas.
Speaker 2: No, he was, he was. I think he was just joking.
Speaker 8: I know he was. So listen, your question is how
Speaker 8: do you make Massachusetts better?
Speaker 9: Correct?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean I think when you got forty
Speaker 2: percent of the people saying we're in the wrong track,
Speaker 2: I think we got a problem.
Speaker 3: Right. But we like so we both know the answer.
Speaker 8: Is that the Nemocrats have to somehow not be here eventually.
Speaker 8: But I don't think we're heading that way. And I know.
Speaker 2: I do think it would be nice if we had
Speaker 2: the semblance of a two party state, a little bit
Speaker 2: of competition.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but like so, the only time that this state
Speaker 8: runs well is when we have a Republican governor, and
Speaker 8: that's been shown to be true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're sort of like split, split government and
Speaker 2: all of that. But I think that the Republicans need
Speaker 2: to need to work harder, and I think I hope
Speaker 2: that people will will recognize that it's better if we
Speaker 2: have a two you know, a competitive two party state.
Speaker 2: I mean, it'd be like if you lived in a
Speaker 2: neighborhood and there was only one supermarket, they could charge
Speaker 2: you whatever I wanted. It's pretty simple.
Speaker 8: It's like, but so why can't I state get to that?
Speaker 8: So what I'm trying to get at is, so we're
Speaker 8: allowing one billion dollars to go to people that aren't
Speaker 8: even allowed in this country.
Speaker 5: So one billion.
Speaker 2: Dollars, one billion dollars, one billion dollars per year. So
Speaker 2: we've already spent two billion at least yep.
Speaker 8: So where would that money be better used? I mean,
Speaker 8: so the other thing too, I don't want to get sidetracked.
Speaker 8: But when you get a fast track to be employed,
Speaker 8: you don't have to pay taxes on that money.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what you mean by.
Speaker 8: That that imagine that.
Speaker 2: So if you get explain explain that to me, maybe
Speaker 2: you know something. I don't know what do you mean
Speaker 2: by a fast track to be employed?
Speaker 8: I've never heard right now, yeah, right now, they're trying
Speaker 8: to get the immigrants employed. Okay, very like, because we
Speaker 8: need workers, I guess. But the job market isn't the
Speaker 8: greatest right now, so I don't understand. But so they
Speaker 8: get fast tracked. This is from Department of Labor in Massachusetts.
Speaker 8: They get fast tracked, and that gets them the right
Speaker 8: to work here with the t I N number, So
Speaker 8: that taxpayer identifying number.
Speaker 2: Right, as opposed to so you're correct on that. I'm
Speaker 2: with you on that, as opposed to Social Security number right, okay.
Speaker 8: Right, But so their money does not get tax.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're right on that, I'm stunned. And
Speaker 2: if you could send me any material on that. I
Speaker 2: cannot believe that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the federal
Speaker 2: government will not tax people because they have a taxpayer
Speaker 2: identification number. It defies logic. But I'm not going to
Speaker 2: tell you you're wrong because I don't know it.
Speaker 8: Okay, No, that's okay. But it's not just the taxpayer
Speaker 8: ID number. It's the fact that you're an immigrant.
Speaker 2: Well, can you send me something which in which I
Speaker 2: can see that?
Speaker 5: Fine, Yeah, okay, I'm gonna have rob.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have Rob give you my direct email, send
Speaker 2: me the materials and and I will do a show
Speaker 2: on it. Okay, if if you will sound good? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I I try to keep up on things.
Speaker 2: I can't keep up on everything. And I've never heard
Speaker 2: that it defies logic. But if that is true, boy,
Speaker 2: do I want to do it a show on that?
Speaker 8: What diviy? That logic is that we're paying two billion
Speaker 8: dollars for people that shouldn't be here.
Speaker 3: That's that device logic.
Speaker 8: But that does the email and I'll send you it.
Speaker 2: Sounds great, don't hang up, Marble'll give you my direct email.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. All Right, we're going to take
Speaker 2: a quick break. Just chatted with Sean and Lowell. I
Speaker 2: got Mike in Salem coming up. I got Eugene, I
Speaker 2: got Dennis and got a little room for you. Actually,
Speaker 2: the one line that will be opened as soon as
Speaker 2: Sean gets off A six, one, seven, four thirty back
Speaker 2: on Night Side right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Sight Studios. I'MBS News Radio.
Speaker 2: We're getting everybody in. Let's go to Dennis and Everett.
Speaker 2: Dennis next on night Sagro hits her.
Speaker 5: Oh Dan it's been a while.
Speaker 2: It has been How you been doing. How you doing
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 5: I'm doing all right. You gave my daughter a couple
Speaker 5: of nightside T shirts the other night, Brianna.
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 5: My grandson and her Yeah, yeah, I appreciate that very much. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but you know, da immigrants. It's crazy out there, Dan,
Speaker 5: It's crazy. I mean, I'm only one hundred and thirty pounds,
Speaker 5: but I feel so bitter about it to see them
Speaker 5: and ignorant a lot of them, not all of them,
Speaker 5: but you know what, and I'm pushing a carriage. I
Speaker 5: just pick up Canda metal just for pastime, just to
Speaker 5: get out there, just to keep the brain going.
Speaker 2: Well, you got to you got to do that, Dennis,
Speaker 2: that's for sure. And you can't give up. I think
Speaker 2: you've got a beautiful family with Brianna and her children.
Speaker 2: And I'm so happy that I did not realize that
Speaker 2: Brianna was your daughter. But that's that's great to hear.
Speaker 2: It's great to hear.
Speaker 5: My other daughter is Canta free, remember her, the one
Speaker 5: that my daughter had cancer? Yeah, there's cancer free. And
Speaker 5: you said you said it. Prayer for and everything I remember.
Speaker 5: I don't forget happened.
Speaker 2: Absolutely with Dennis. I'm I'm happy for you, and it
Speaker 2: sounds like you're doing fine. And you know again, the
Speaker 2: problem is that it would be great if we could
Speaker 2: take care of everybody in the world. We're just not
Speaker 2: in a big enough country to take care of everybody
Speaker 2: in the world. I want more. I got to be
Speaker 2: honest with you, Dennis. I've talked about this. I want
Speaker 2: more immigrants coming to this country legally. I want to
Speaker 2: know who's coming in. I want to know what this
Speaker 2: skill set is and if there.
Speaker 5: Are contribute to this this country and everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ta gone away.
Speaker 5: Don't tend all the money back to their country. I
Speaker 5: mean that the money's not circulating here.
Speaker 2: Well, I just want them to come here and and
Speaker 2: have a skill and I don't care whatever the skill is.
Speaker 2: They don't have to be brain surgeons. But if they're nurses,
Speaker 2: if there are people who are laborers, and put them
Speaker 2: on the track to citizenship, if they behave themselves. It's
Speaker 2: as simple as that. But to bring people into the country,
Speaker 2: have no idea who they are. I have no idea
Speaker 2: what the criminal record is. We've seen all of the
Speaker 2: statistics that people have been.
Speaker 5: Allowed checking or anything yeah, that's that's the problem.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: My dad, my dad many many years ago, come all
Speaker 5: of from island and he had to do the whole
Speaker 5: sribl So.
Speaker 2: I had to do it right. And I think we
Speaker 2: got to get back to those days. I really do.
Speaker 2: It's as simple as that. Hey, I'm going well with you.
Speaker 5: We we already come off the track.
Speaker 3: We got to get back on the track.
Speaker 2: Let's get back on track. Thanks, Dennis, I got to
Speaker 2: run here.
Speaker 5: Please, Yeah, thank you very much. That's a great one.
Speaker 2: You two right back at you. Let me go, folks.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I'm losing time here. Let's be
Speaker 2: quick if we can. Mike and Salem go ahead.
Speaker 7: Mike, Hey, what's up Dan, whatever it's on your.
Speaker 2: Mind, Mike, let me know, go right ahead. We're just
Speaker 2: a little tight on time.
Speaker 9: Okay, no problem. So, I mean, I hear you guys
Speaker 9: talking about you know, you know, two billion dollars, you know, immigrants,
Speaker 9: you know, using that a lot of money. About the
Speaker 9: people that leach off the system. You know what I'm
Speaker 9: saying that you know, we'll get housing and they'll they'll
Speaker 9: use it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Though, Well again that that shouldn't happen either. But all
Speaker 2: I'm just saying is that we got a lot of people. Look,
Speaker 2: you heard the call that Pig made from Harold about
Speaker 2: the woman who's sleeping out in a sleeping bag tonight
Speaker 2: outside here in Massachusetts. I'm I mean, we have we.
Speaker 9: Weren't given right. If we weren't giving all that money away,
Speaker 9: you could be you know, you could help the homeless,
Speaker 9: you could. I mean, there's a lot of mental health
Speaker 9: issues out there where. I mean, we don't have state
Speaker 9: hospitals like we used to to help people out.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I agree with you. I told you, well, you've lost
Speaker 2: hospitals in this state, absolutely absolutely, and that's what that
Speaker 2: will get us back on the right track in my opinion, right.
Speaker 9: I mean, it's crazy that you're you'll take people. You know,
Speaker 9: our country will take in all these immigrants and help
Speaker 9: them out, but they won't help their own, their own people.
Speaker 2: You know. Well, again it's it's not politically advantageous, I
Speaker 2: guess to certain folks, so they don't perceive it as
Speaker 2: being political advantageous. So uh well, we'll keep talking about it. Mike.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it so much. Thank you for my football
Speaker 2: and I'll get you, give you more time next time.
Speaker 9: Okay, Okay, Boddy, thank you, thank you much.
Speaker 2: Eugene. Eugene, gotta be quick for me tonight, my friend.
Speaker 4: Okay, Dan, good more learning. Uh just wanted to chime
Speaker 4: in real quick and make the comment that you are
Speaker 4: who you vote for, so when you don't do the
Speaker 4: job and research things correctly, you end up not only
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts, several other states a disaster. Look at your
Speaker 4: current administration. We have China threatening the Philippines, coast guards
Speaker 4: in the US doing nothing about it.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we're waste stretched way too thin, and China
Speaker 2: will be able to do whatever they want. I'm sad
Speaker 2: to say I just don't under the common circumstances. But
Speaker 2: maybe it's all going to change. You Jean, please stay safe. Okay.
Speaker 3: We don't want to lose you now.
Speaker 4: No, no, Dan, We're good to go. You see, I've
Speaker 4: got God on my side. Anyhow, I'll get off so
Speaker 4: you can see if you can get somebody else. And
Speaker 4: thank you all right, Thanks, I.
Speaker 2: Get a couple more, and thanks you, Jean. We talk soon.

Speaker 2: going to give thirty seconds split up thirty to VICKI
Speaker 2: and thirty to Danielle. Vicky, you got thirty, go ahead, Vicky.
Speaker 10: Yes, I want to just say that the two billion
Speaker 10: dollars is given to people that I'm taking bids that
Speaker 10: are giving the immigrants meals at eleven dollars per meal.
Speaker 9: That's not right.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, they're no big contracts. You're absolutely right, and that's
Speaker 2: part of it. I talk about the cab company on
Speaker 2: the Cape that has a six million dollar no big contract.
Speaker 2: You can give a lot of cab rights for six
Speaker 2: million dollars.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, we have to tweet the tune in and fadre
Speaker 6: how we're given that money, because that money is being
Speaker 6: given to people in this state that are ripping off
Speaker 6: with the state.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, okay, all right, Vicky, good point, Thank
Speaker 2: you much. Okay, I gotta I'll give you more next time. Danielle,
Speaker 2: I got twenty seconds for you. I hate to do it,
Speaker 2: but I got twenty.
Speaker 6: I want to.
Speaker 10: I just wanted to provide a little back, some clarification
Speaker 10: on the itin number which a person applies for. They
Speaker 10: have to fill out a W seven, whereas you know
Speaker 10: we would fill out a W four. You know, legal
Speaker 10: person I'm a W seven and filed and there should
Speaker 10: be ITEN number. It's cheated, kind of like a ten
Speaker 10: ninety nine. They have to the iton alys them to
Speaker 10: go online to their their balances and make payments that
Speaker 10: they do not file a tax return within three years.
Speaker 10: The iten does expire, so it is for tax reporting
Speaker 10: and paying purposes. So they do they are supposed.
Speaker 2: Okay, I gotta do some more research on it. Give
Speaker 2: me a call tomorrow and i can talk to you
Speaker 2: off here because I'm unprepared for that. Danielle amount of time.
