<v Speaker 2>February and the phones were quite busy, and so I

11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 2>have prevailed. And Mark was with us actually on Thursday,

12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 2>the thirteenth of February, so that was about three weeks ago.

13

20
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>not going to spend a lot of time resetting this,

21
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>but I will quickly tell you that the Department of

22
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Government Efficiency has sent and they have now rescinded an

23
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 2>email that they sent to doctors, surgeons, nurses, physicians, assistants, pharmacists,

24
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>all of whom volunteer their time as members of trauma

25
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>and critical care teams with the National Disaster Medical System.

26
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>And these are clinical care physicians, surgeons, emergency medic and

27
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>medicine physicians, physicians, assistants, nurse PRACTITIONERSNS, registered nurses, nurse in enthusiologists, paramedics,

28
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 2>respiratory therapists, radiology technologists, surgical technologies technologists, and pharmacies. And

29
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 2>these are people who volunteer to help out in a

30
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>crisis when there is an overwhelming either weather event, natural disaster,

31
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>stir or or or terrorist attack to think of others,

32
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 2>and they are on call. They do this as volunteers.

33
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe that they do receive some small stipend when

34
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>they when they are activated. When they are in service

35
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>of the country, they do have to file expense reports.

36
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>They are flown generally on military planes to these locations

37
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 2>where they're needed, or on on government planes. If they

38
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.599
<v Speaker 2>do stay, oftentimes they end up sleeping outdoors, particularly if

39
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>it's a disaster where all electricity is out, et cetera.

40
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Or they were dangers they eat that they're served what's

41
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>called mrs Military ready to eat meals. Not the tastiest

42
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>cuisine for certain but these are good people and they

43
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>all received emails from DOGE asking them to tell those

44
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 2>five things they did last week. Now, that is an

45
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>email that should go to people who purport to be

46
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>federal employees, full time or part time federal employees, but

47
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>just crazy to send it to these volunteers. I learned

48
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>about this a couple of days ago. The government now

49
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 2>has rescinded or or paused the requirement for these folks

50
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to fill that out. But it's almost insulting. And the

51
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>point is that I think that in their enthusiasm, the

52
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Department of Government Efficiency should be sufficiently efficient efficient themselves

53
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>to know that it's a waste of their time and

54
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>a waste of the time of the surgeons, the medical professionals,

55
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.680
<v Speaker 2>et cetera, to have to try to figure out even

56
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 2>to respond to these emails. They have a list of

57
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the doctors that should be good enough. Again, focus on

58
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 2>where the money is. Like Willie Sutton the bank robbers said,

59
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is.

60
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Focus on the programs where there may be potential fraud,

61
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>waste and abuse. Let's go to Dan and Hampton, New Hampshire. Dan,

62
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>you were next on nightside.

63
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, just quickly. I got to tell you during the holidays,

64
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Ias Zach saying a bug you had Weason and the chest.

65
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I would cough and nothing would come up, and uh, yeah, how.

66
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Are you doing now? I'm I I believe it over.

67
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm good now, I'm good now. But uh, you know it,

68
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 3>it really kind of ruined the holidays for my family.

69
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 2>They told they told me that it was bronchitis. What

70
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>was your diagnosis?

71
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, they said they said it was something that

72
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 3>was going around and it was bronchitis.

73
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>And they thought I might have had pneumonia. I remember

74
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>I had to go and get a chest X ray,

75
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 2>which I'm glad I did, don't get me wrong. But

76
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 2>it was tough.

77
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 4>It was tough, It really was.

78
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't get rid of it for about three weeks.

79
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>It was the cough was incredible, wake up in.

80
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 3>The middle I know at night. Yeah, yeah, that Weason

81
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>and the chests and the cough a lot that.

82
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

83
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Anyways, I'm not going to be able to fill

84
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 3>in all the details of how this happened, what was

85
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 3>cut and what was not cut. But I do, but

86
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about the Federal Reconstruction Act of

87
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 3>nineteen ninety four. Bill Clinton put this all on Al Gore.

88
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 3>He said, go find the fat and tell us tell

89
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 3>me where we need to cut. It took Gore a year,

90
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.360
<v Speaker 3>but he did just that. It went to Congress, it

91
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 3>passed bipartisan overwhelmingly, as it did Senate, and at Clinton

92
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 3>finded it in Chula, and it had a lot, It

93
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 3>helped a lot. It taken a bite out of the

94
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 3>federal budget. So I think that's kind of the way

95
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:52.319
<v Speaker 3>it should be done.

96
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 2>One of the things they had, they had what was

97
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>called the BRACK, which I forget what the acronyms DoD

98
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>it for, but I think it was essentially closing some

99
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>or or combining some military bases. Uh. And I think

100
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>that the Defense Department slimmed down a little bit. This

101
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 2>would have been in the ninety five ninety six era,

102
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 2>and I forget Base Realignment Commission or something like that.

103
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what BRAC stood for b R A

104
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>c K. But there was a lot of controversy about

105
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>it because when you you close bases.

106
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:36.519
<v Speaker 5>You know, I don't need that many ps ps.

107
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Air Force Base up here on Port was one of

108
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 3>the ones that got closed.

109
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It was called Base Realignment and Closure BRACK was

110
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>a processed by the US federal government. Uh, and I'm

111
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.800
<v Speaker 2>looking at it here. Over three hundred and fifty installations

112
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 2>have been closed in five BRACK rounds. One in eighty eight,

113
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 2>one in ninety one, one in ninety three, and one

114
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>in ninety five. I'm talking about the one in ninety five.

115
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>There was one in two thousand and five. We haven't

116
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>had a BRAC in twenty five years, so maybe it's

117
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>time to have a BRACK.

118
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 3>Know, yeah, maybe.

119
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

120
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen sixty one, President Kennedy announced the closure of

121
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:25.800
<v Speaker 2>seventy three military establishment. Secretary Nath Damra closed twenty sixty

122
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.399
<v Speaker 2>o D installations, and it goes, you know, it goes

123
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 2>on and on. There was a commission under President Reagan

124
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 2>which did the same thing. In nineteen eighty three, there

125
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>was the Carlucci Commission closed Peace. Peace got closed in

126
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty eight by the Carlucci Commission. So you know,

127
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 2>all of these the closures was significant. In nineteen eighty eight,

128
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 2>it looks to me like about fifty bases were closed

129
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 2>eighty one. It looks like another fifty. He looks like

130
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>another fifty, another fifty. Uh so, yeah, they can. We

131
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>can maintain a military preparedness and we can.

132
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 6>We can.

133
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:12.720
<v Speaker 2>We can save some money.

134
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, of course we can. And once again, I mean,

135
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>this is the way you do you do things in

136
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 3>this country. He has to go through Congress. A matter

137
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 3>of fact, terrorists have to go through Congress. The only

138
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>time a president can call it terriff is that if

139
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 3>it's because of the national security of the country is

140
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 3>in danger. I don't know. They got to bring Sarah

141
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Pale and to teach Trump, you know, exactly a lot

142
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 3>of things history and everything else.

143
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>And well, he let me tell you, Look, the jury

144
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 2>is out on you know, on his second on his

145
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 2>second term. I'm going to be really interested to see

146
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>what happens with Zelensky in the next couple of days.

147
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Zlinsky supposedly wrote a letter of apology.

148
00:08:59.000 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

149
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Uh and if that gets back on track and we

150
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 2>can somehow bring that hostility, uh, if not to a

151
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 2>close at least to a cease fire, that's that's pretty

152
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.960
<v Speaker 2>good work. So I was not happy to see that

153
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 2>tussle in the Oval office. It should have been done.

154
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Yo, it was terrible, and you know everyone liked a

155
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 3>lot of your callers. Uh, we're talking about what a

156
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 3>wonderful speech Trump made last night. Excuse me, Wednesday night,

157
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday night. Okay, I'll be all right. Really pretty much

158
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 3>was the same speech she paid when he was inaugurated,

159
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 3>and the same in some speech why he was running.

160
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't have to keep picking on Joe Biden. A

161
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 3>matter of fact, I've never known an American president to

162
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 3>blame a predecessor on this now.

163
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>But again, you got to understand Trump, and you got

164
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>to understand that when there's bad blood, he has no ability.

165
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, when he was talking with Selensky in the

166
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Oval office, in the heat of that conversation, he defaulted

167
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.840
<v Speaker 2>to Joe Biden as the worst president. That hunter Biden

168
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>and the Biden laptop. That is just the bile that

169
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>is built up in him, that that he's he can't

170
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>get rid of it. He can't get rid of it. Dan,

171
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 2>I got to get rid of you here because I've

172
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>gone six minutes and i got full lines and I'm

173
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>up on a break. A great night coming right back

174
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.080
<v Speaker 2>on night side the only line is six one seven.

175
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Back on night Side right after this.

176
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

177
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

178
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Back we go, get Jason also in New Hampts. She

179
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of calls from New Hampshire tonight. Go ahead, Jason, Hi.

180
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 7>Dan, thank you. Listen. You're killing me with this. I

181
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 7>can't believe we're even talking about this, this little gnat

182
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.360
<v Speaker 7>of an issue you brought up. I mean, I love you,

183
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 7>I love your show. I listen when I can. I

184
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 7>love your style and your usual subjects. But this is

185
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 7>a monumental undertaking that they're that they're doing for us.

186
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Ahead, we're in agreement, so far, go ahead.

187
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 7>To pick on this particular issue out of everything that

188
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 7>they're exposing, all the money that they're already saving. I don't,

189
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 7>I don't. I don't see why it's really that big

190
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.559
<v Speaker 7>of a problem. These volunteers, God bless them. I mean,

191
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.559
<v Speaker 7>if anything, let's give doage credit because now these people

192
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 7>have recognition. I mean, what because they get an email

193
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:49.279
<v Speaker 7>and have to answer that. I don't think it's going

194
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 7>to bother these people, and you know, if they don't

195
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 7>want to answer it, I think dogs would be like, Okay,

196
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 7>we didn't get an answer here. Uh, why don't we

197
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 7>find out a little bit more about these people? Oh,

198
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 7>they're volunteers. Next, I mean, what's the issue. I don't

199
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.440
<v Speaker 7>get it, Dan, I mean, I think you're missing the

200
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 7>forest through the trees here on this.

201
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>No, well, there's there's a there's a minor issue in

202
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.559
<v Speaker 2>a major issue. The minor issue is that the last

203
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>group of people that you have to worry about are

204
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.720
<v Speaker 2>people who are this quality. By the way, we're talking

205
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>surgeons and primary you know, emergency room doctors. They're high

206
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.799
<v Speaker 2>level people who are giving back voluntarily. They're volunteers. Okay,

207
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like your your volunteer fire department. You live in

208
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.000
<v Speaker 2>New Hampshire. I don't know if you do you have

209
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>a do you have an on call fire department or

210
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 2>volunteer fire department or do you have like fire.

211
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 7>STAF Yeah, volunteer mostly Yeah.

212
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 2>So it be like if someone was raising questions about, now,

213
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 2>what's going on here with this fire department, there's gonna

214
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 2>be some sort of you know you it's it's insulting

215
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>that I know, I don't believe.

216
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.679
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I mean to say, it's crazy to say

217
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 7>it's crazy and they're over their skis. I mean, really,

218
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 7>I mean we're talking about a quick email, five question email.

219
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.399
<v Speaker 7>I mean, if they don't want to answer it, they

220
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:17.000
<v Speaker 7>don't have to. But I'm sure those will find out.

221
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Let me, Jason, let me just jump in here for

222
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>a second. What I'm trying to say is this is

223
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Government efficiency. By the way, they have

224
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>paused and rescinded. They figured out that there's a problem,

225
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that there's a problem. They have paused and rescinded the email,

226
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.320
<v Speaker 2>which is a good thing to do. That happened late

227
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 2>late this afternoon early tonight. They need to focus on

228
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the places where the money really is a lot of

229
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the US AID stuff that they're going to be in

230
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>a fight in court over that. I'm fine with that.

231
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's let's fight over that. See what happens, uh.

232
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:55.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't what I don't want them to do is

233
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>be battered from pillar to post for sound, for seeming

234
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:02.240
<v Speaker 2>peakyun And maybe you think I'm being picky you in here,

235
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>but I'm trying to basically save them from getting out

236
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.799
<v Speaker 2>over their skis, is what I'm trying to say.

237
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.960
<v Speaker 7>And I haven't I get it, but I just I

238
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.919
<v Speaker 7>just feel like everybody's missing the big picture. Yeah, I mean,

239
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 7>this is unbelieved, This is an awesome thing. I mean,

240
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.639
<v Speaker 7>this is a lifetime, once in a lifetime.

241
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, let me, Can I ask you

242
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 2>a quick question?

243
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, go ahead.

244
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 2>You probably watched the president's speech the other night, and

245
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>when he talked about this, you know, thirty thousand people

246
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:39.039
<v Speaker 2>who are you know, over the age of one hundred

247
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and ten or one hundred and twenty on Social Security

248
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>pay lists? What did you think of that? You know?

249
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 8>What?

250
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.279
<v Speaker 7>To be honestly, I jumped in maybe fifteen minutes. I

251
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 7>think I missed that that might be he was.

252
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>What happened was President Trump was reading off these numbers,

253
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>saying that they've found one hundred and people over the

254
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.480
<v Speaker 2>age of one hundred and ten, over the age of

255
00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty. And it was interesting, but it

256
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.159
<v Speaker 2>didn't tell me anything. In other words, is he saying

257
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>that there are people's names who are still listed for

258
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Social Security who are now dead, or is he telling me,

259
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 2>because he never said this, that there are people over

260
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty years of age based upon Social

261
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Security records and they are being sent so security checks

262
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.679
<v Speaker 2>every month. He never said that. He implied it, but

263
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:32.559
<v Speaker 2>he never said it.

264
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 7>I heard you bring this up to another caller, though,

265
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.399
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I think the strong I think the strong

266
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 7>implication is that they're getting money. Well, right, you're right,

267
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 7>But if they're not getting money, if they're not getting money,

268
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.200
<v Speaker 7>then it's really you know, like it's just a cleaning up.

269
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 7>The books say it's not an.

270
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Issue one exactly. And all I'm saying is, don't waste

271
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>time talking about that. Finish the play. Don't tell me,

272
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, as you're skating through centerrice, how you're going

273
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>to score a goal. Finish the goal, you know, Finish

274
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 2>the play, put the puck in the net. Finish the play.

275
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Because if we find out that this was some sort

276
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>of a coding error and all of that bluster doesn't

277
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 2>save any money, it's gonna undercut. It's gonna undercut them.

278
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:18.200
<v Speaker 4>Here.

279
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>You've used used the phrase under promise and over deliver.

280
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't you love it when you go to a restaurant

281
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>and you don't expect a great meal and you have

282
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>a meal that blows you away, and you say, that's

283
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 2>the best meal I've had in fifteen years, and all

284
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 2>I paid for it was I would have paid ten

285
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 2>to five times as much for the meal. It was

286
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>a fabulous meal. That's or go to the restaurant where

287
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>they charge you one hundred dollars and you'll walk it

288
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.200
<v Speaker 2>out and you say, I could have gone to McDonald's

289
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>have been just as happy.

290
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.639
<v Speaker 7>But haven't they delivered already, Dan, in such a short time.

291
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:57.759
<v Speaker 7>I mean, what we we're already in the billions. We

292
00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:59.360
<v Speaker 7>know that, right, hasn't it been confirmed?

293
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that, honest to God, don't know that,

294
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to be really honest with you.

295
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I know, I know they had to adjust it,

296
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.319
<v Speaker 7>and I know there was a clerical era they were

297
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 7>they were talking like five hundred billion. There was a

298
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 7>clerical err but I know that they have at least no,

299
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:15.519
<v Speaker 7>I'm pretty I'm almost certain of this were at least

300
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 7>over two billion and savings. I mean, right there, Dan,

301
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.759
<v Speaker 7>that I've never heard of it in my lifetime. That's amazing.

302
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 7>Why aren't we talking about that? And what was behind

303
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 7>all that money?

304
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 9>Who was behind it?

305
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I just don't see the point in taking

306
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 7>time on this, on this little issue when we have

307
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.160
<v Speaker 7>at least two billion and I'm almost one hundred percent

308
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:40.920
<v Speaker 7>on that to talk about about like serious corruption, waste, fraud,

309
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 7>whatever might be behind it.

310
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Two billion sounds like a lot of money, Okay, but

311
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 2>in terms of the federal budget, you know, the federal

312
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 2>budget which is over getting close to seven trillion. Do

313
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the math. Okay. I want them to find every last penny. Okay,

314
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, I want them to find every last penny.

315
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:09.200
<v Speaker 7>But before Dan, Yeah, who's ever done it like this before? Nobody, nobody,

316
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.039
<v Speaker 7>like we should be talking about that.

317
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 2>I think I think it's too early. I think it's

318
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.240
<v Speaker 2>what I'm trying to say, Jason, is I think it's

319
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.920
<v Speaker 2>too early to pull the duck boast out yet and

320
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.440
<v Speaker 2>have a parade. That's all I'm trying to say. Okay,

321
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:28.279
<v Speaker 2>and I I've heard about all this stuff about you know,

322
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.880
<v Speaker 2>the money that went to Romania or Slovenia, uh, you

323
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>know for for some sort of a play for one

324
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars. I want to see it all on paper.

325
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 2>I want them as a I want them to do

326
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.880
<v Speaker 2>their work, produce a final document that we all can see.

327
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:47.599
<v Speaker 2>Uh that that is it going to be in all

328
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the major newspapers, so we can talk about it again,

329
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>to spend time in this, in this this speech to

330
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Congress telling me that there's thirty thousand people who are

331
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.559
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty five years of age or over

332
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>on Social Security. Uh, you know what does that mean,

333
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.519
<v Speaker 2>mister president? It's it sounds great. Are you implying or

334
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.160
<v Speaker 2>are you telling me? That's all I'm saying is I

335
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 2>don't want smoke and mirrors. I want substance. If that's

336
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 2>too much to take.

337
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.200
<v Speaker 7>The thing with Donald Trump, though, is listen, do you

338
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 7>you know it's it's like if you know you want

339
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 7>to make an omelet you gotta break a few eggs.

340
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 7>It's gonna you you want something done, It's gonna be

341
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.880
<v Speaker 7>a little messy, you know. But I'd rather get something

342
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.799
<v Speaker 7>done for once. You know what I mean.

343
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know I'm with you, Jason, Jason, I'm

344
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.519
<v Speaker 2>with you. All I'm saying, let's do it. Let's not

345
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 2>talk about it, Let's not make a speech about it.

346
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's not spend time asking volunteer surgeons to fill out

347
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 2>an email and tell them five things they did last

348
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 2>week for the government, because they don't work for the government.

349
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>They're volunteers who show up when When when the World

350
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Trade Center buildings are knocked down? The focus on the

351
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 2>right place you are, the Department of Governmental Efficiency. At

352
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.720
<v Speaker 2>least be efficient. That's all I'm saying. I'm in trouble

353
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:12.799
<v Speaker 2>with my with my listeners. I know that, but guess what.

354
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:16.240
<v Speaker 7>Damn this is your straining and NAT on this one, buddy,

355
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:16.680
<v Speaker 7>I think.

356
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, fair enough, all right, thank you very for

357
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.599
<v Speaker 2>your call. All right, I went a long time with Jason.

358
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.160
<v Speaker 2>He will be the longest call of the night. We'll

359
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 2>be back. I got one line six one seven nine

360
00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Speaker 2>six one seven two five four ten thirty. Feel free

361
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 2>bringing on coming back on Nightside.

362
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

363
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we're going back to the phone calls. I want

364
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.160
<v Speaker 2>to hear your opinions. I'm not looking to debate you

365
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:49.160
<v Speaker 2>on this one. I've made my point very clearly. I

366
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.880
<v Speaker 2>want to give you an opportunity to make your point.

367
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Margie and the catskills. Margie next on Nightside, how are you?

368
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:58.240
<v Speaker 10>Yes, I missed earlier part of your conversations night But

369
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.000
<v Speaker 10>can you tell me have you had a lot of

370
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.240
<v Speaker 10>reports from federal employees?

371
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 4>I have had.

372
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I have been shown the materials, the information that was

373
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:17.759
<v Speaker 2>sent to These are not federal employees. These are volunteers.

374
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 2>These are surgeons, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc. Who basically are volunteers,

375
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:25.920
<v Speaker 2>like a volunteer fire department.

376
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.799
<v Speaker 10>Okay, I'm going to change your conversation a little bit

377
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.200
<v Speaker 10>because I've worked for thirty eight years with the federal

378
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:38.640
<v Speaker 10>government besides volunteering. But like you, I am very fortunate

379
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 10>in that our ambulance are fire departments are all volunteers.

380
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 10>So you are a thousand percent right about volunteers. And

381
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 10>my topic would really be my thirty eight years with

382
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:01.920
<v Speaker 10>the federal government and what is happened under this administration.

383
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Where do you want to say, Marjorie, go ahead, all right.

384
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 10>What I want to say is that, unfortunately, what's happening

385
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 10>is that people who have been with the federal government,

386
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.000
<v Speaker 10>first of all, aren't out to do it for the money.

387
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:26.839
<v Speaker 10>I work for thirty eight years with public contact working

388
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:28.119
<v Speaker 10>for the federal government.

389
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:32.359
<v Speaker 2>No one's suggesting that, Margio, So that's.

390
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:38.440
<v Speaker 10>A right, but people people are thinking that it's kind

391
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.440
<v Speaker 10>of freeloading if you work for the federal government.

392
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think anyone thinks that, I mean the military.

393
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.960
<v Speaker 2>People in the military aren't freeloading. I think what people

394
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:50.279
<v Speaker 2>are concerned about, and when I think this administration is

395
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:54.240
<v Speaker 2>concerned about, are there people who are no longer going

396
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:58.480
<v Speaker 2>into the office buildings. Are there people who are working remotely?

397
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Are there people who are in the federal federal payroll

398
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.559
<v Speaker 2>who don't exist? I mean, the size of the federal

399
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 2>government now is so humongous that the Trump administration says

400
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 2>we want to find out what percentage of the government

401
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:14.799
<v Speaker 2>and and then they're into other issues of you know,

402
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.400
<v Speaker 2>there were there were government buildings that are now unused.

403
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>They're they're unoccupied. Maybe it's time to sell some of

404
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 2>those buildings. He wants to put. President Trump wants to

405
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.519
<v Speaker 2>send the Education Department back to the States. The Department

406
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 2>of Education was signed by an executive order by Jimmy Carter.

407
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 2>And maybe it would be better. I mean, there's there's

408
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things no one is calling into question.

409
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I have friends of mine who work in the c

410
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.160
<v Speaker 2>I A. I know people who work in the CIA.

411
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 2>I know people work in the FBI. They they they're

412
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.640
<v Speaker 2>great people. They're they're just like Americans like you and me.

413
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:57.200
<v Speaker 2>But if there's anybody who's now working and is not working.

414
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.119
<v Speaker 2>It's time. It's time to get rid of them. We

415
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 2>have a deficit of thirty seven trillion dollars. Who's going

416
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:04.599
<v Speaker 2>to pay for that.

417
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 10>I just want to suggest to you that the current

418
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:16.200
<v Speaker 10>administration is going to do everything it can to hurt

419
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.039
<v Speaker 10>the American public. And I'll just give you one tiny

420
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:25.039
<v Speaker 10>fraction of the federal government. You may find every national

421
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.799
<v Speaker 10>park in the country closed. All it takes is an

422
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 10>act of Congress. And the current president does not give

423
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 10>one care about the public enjoying their national parks. He's

424
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:45.000
<v Speaker 10>going to open them up to drilling, fracting, fractioning, everything

425
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:49.319
<v Speaker 10>he could think of, and even in the end result,

426
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:53.200
<v Speaker 10>I believe he wants to privatize the national parks.

427
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that'll be good. Yeah, that'd be great. We'll see

428
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>what happens to me favor when that happens, Margie, I

429
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>want you to call me that, and I want you

430
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.559
<v Speaker 2>to take a victory lap, because.

431
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:03.960
<v Speaker 10>I do not think it's gonna happen.

432
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much of a great night. Let's go

433
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:08.880
<v Speaker 2>next to Gary is in Ruber and Gary, you are

434
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.519
<v Speaker 2>next one. Nice.

435
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 7>I go right ahead, because on the first I heard

436
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 7>of the batman of governmental efficiency. All I knew of

437
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 7>it was Doge, can you hear me?

438
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I can hear you? You on a weird phone at

439
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:23.240
<v Speaker 2>this point or what?

440
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.559
<v Speaker 7>I don't know, how's the volume coming in?

441
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, I really, are you on your regular phone?

442
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm really I can hear you. But whenever

443
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 2>somebody asked me can you hear me? I got a

444
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 2>pro I got I got a little concern. I mean,

445
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:40.640
<v Speaker 2>if if you're on a regular phone, I can hear you.

446
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.599
<v Speaker 7>Go right ahead, Okay, Uh, obviously what's going on with

447
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.359
<v Speaker 7>Elon Muskin so forth. I'm all for it. But after

448
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 7>what you're talking about and so forth, it makes a

449
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 7>lot of sense. As usual. One thing fools the thought

450
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:55.759
<v Speaker 7>I am not going to argue with you. As you know,

451
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.079
<v Speaker 7>I hate everybody who argues with Dan Ray. I'll fight

452
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.200
<v Speaker 7>to the death for you on one thing is this.

453
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm sure you're going to agree with me, but this

454
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.160
<v Speaker 7>is not gonna happen. Wouldn't it be just great if

455
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.039
<v Speaker 7>all of a sudden, every Republican got behind the president

456
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 7>and they put it before Congress to put a bill

457
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:18.279
<v Speaker 7>that every person that is a politician in Washington, we're

458
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:21.519
<v Speaker 7>gonna cut your salary down ten percent and they all

459
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:23.519
<v Speaker 7>agree to it, and it would have fifty to fifty

460
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.559
<v Speaker 7>across the Democrats, where totally gets it would not be

461
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:28.119
<v Speaker 7>unbelievable to save money.

462
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't save a lot of money, but it certainly symbolically

463
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>it would be. It might be something that the American

464
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.880
<v Speaker 2>public would support. Yeah, I think that's possible. I think

465
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:44.680
<v Speaker 2>term limits actually is probably something that is more realistic there.

466
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I think also we should have the Nancy Pelosi bill

467
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.640
<v Speaker 2>that as long as you're in Congress you can't get

468
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 2>involved in stock trading because there's there's the potential of

469
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 2>inside information. So there's a lot of reforms that but

470
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.160
<v Speaker 2>but Congress, unfortunately, Gary is you know, I think as

471
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 2>well as I do that they are never going to

472
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.640
<v Speaker 2>vote those reforms because they'll never vote against their own

473
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 2>self interest.

474
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 7>Right, And one last thing before I go with the

475
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:16.759
<v Speaker 7>Democrats looking like goats all the time? What fair factor

476
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:19.000
<v Speaker 7>I have? And I don't want bad things to happen

477
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 7>to people, and I'm not going to say good people,

478
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 7>but he almost share though violence that's not happening. It's

479
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.839
<v Speaker 7>a democratic men and women who are politicians in their

480
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.160
<v Speaker 7>own personal lives, and I don't mean murder. I'm talking

481
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:35.279
<v Speaker 7>about violence because.

482
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to even go there with that conversation.

483
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.440
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of wackos out there who you plant

484
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.440
<v Speaker 2>a thought in someone's mind. No, violence is the last

485
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.960
<v Speaker 2>thing we need against any public officials in America. There's

486
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.480
<v Speaker 2>been way too much violence in this country, both in

487
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.759
<v Speaker 2>terms of school shootings and in terms of just random

488
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 2>acts of violence that occur in the streets of every

489
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 2>American city. We are a society where there's a lot

490
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 2>of violence because we have freedoms, but we have to

491
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.400
<v Speaker 2>police ourselves. And one of the ways we police ourselves

492
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.079
<v Speaker 2>is not even implying that because all you need to

493
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 2>do is plant that thought in the mind of one

494
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:18.400
<v Speaker 2>whack a doodle. And they're all wack of doodles.

495
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I'm sorry about that. They act on No they

496
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:22.559
<v Speaker 7>cand I point out one thing before I.

497
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Go sure, yep.

498
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, by the way, you're right. I'm sorry, but I

499
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 7>got carried away. But you put me in my place correctly. Hey,

500
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.200
<v Speaker 7>I just watched it off all your listeners out there.

501
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm coming up on sixty two years of age in May,

502
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:37.240
<v Speaker 7>and I call up my Social Security and they told

503
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.480
<v Speaker 7>me I'm going to get whatever amount of money. I

504
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:41.359
<v Speaker 7>don't know if you know this, but they have bumped

505
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.079
<v Speaker 7>it up to social Security. I'm making nineteen thousand dollars

506
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:46.920
<v Speaker 7>up to twenty five thousand dollars. While you clutch social

507
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:50.240
<v Speaker 7>Security at sixty two, well.

508
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you at sixty two that's pretty interesting. Talk

509
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>to your financial advisor, and if you wait a little longer,

510
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the amount that you get will be more. I'm sure

511
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:04.640
<v Speaker 2>you've worked your entire life, You've paid into the system

512
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:07.000
<v Speaker 2>you deserve to get the money you get that you

513
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:08.799
<v Speaker 2>deserve now to get a little bit of money out

514
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 2>of the system.

515
00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.319
<v Speaker 7>But I'm taking a sixty so I'm not gonna look forever.

516
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 7>I got bad health. Five hundred more dollars at sixty seven.

517
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.319
<v Speaker 7>That's what everybody gets. Another five hundred and sixty seven. Okay,

518
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 7>all right, goes hundred.

519
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you, Carl, Thank you, talk talk soon. Okay, appreciate it.

520
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Good night, Let's keep rolling. You're going to go to Pelvis. Pelvis,

521
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:33.319
<v Speaker 2>that's his first name. Go right ahead, Pelvis.

522
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:34.480
<v Speaker 4>Hey, how's it.

523
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:37.279
<v Speaker 9>Going, so, Majie. In the thirty eight years of the

524
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.680
<v Speaker 9>federal government and all that fracting fractions, and Trump's not

525
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.839
<v Speaker 9>doing anything for the American people. He's getting rid of

526
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.720
<v Speaker 9>a lot of problems right now back over the border

527
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:51.480
<v Speaker 9>that behind the scenes are very nefarious, and when they

528
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 9>open that can, it's going to be even worse. The

529
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:59.119
<v Speaker 9>churches are helping a lot of these illegals that have

530
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:02.160
<v Speaker 9>been in this country for a long time right now,

531
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:05.720
<v Speaker 9>and some of them are sleeper sell church going people

532
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 9>who work their jobs at McDonald's and everywhere you everyone

533
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:11.880
<v Speaker 9>you know, goes and gets things people.

534
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Pelvis, let me just disagree with you on that

535
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit.

536
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:17.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

537
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right in the sense that there are

538
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot of churches who had in the last four

539
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:32.680
<v Speaker 2>years benefited by being supportive of the Biden administration's open

540
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 2>border policy. Okay, But I would think that most of

541
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.759
<v Speaker 2>the people who who have been brought into the country,

542
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, either with the help or through the church groups,

543
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that they're they're the sleeper cells

544
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 2>we got to worry about. I'm more concerned about the

545
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 2>gout of ways the people who came over the border

546
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.119
<v Speaker 2>and had the ability and the and the agility to.

547
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.240
<v Speaker 9>Tell let me just I'm just gonna quickly rebut because

548
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.160
<v Speaker 9>I have a friend that works in US customs, he's

549
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 9>a tight friend of mine, and I'm not I'm not

550
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.279
<v Speaker 9>going to say, like what Maggie said, with their experience,

551
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:09.759
<v Speaker 9>but listen, they they send these people over here.

552
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 7>The cartel not only has a strong arm on their

553
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:15.960
<v Speaker 7>family back from their home country, they also have a

554
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:19.759
<v Speaker 7>strong arm on the government of that country. So the

555
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:24.279
<v Speaker 7>people that are here are absolutely helping the drug trade

556
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 7>flourish in this country from their jobs that they get.

557
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 7>They are legitimate jobs that they get. They then introduce

558
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:34.400
<v Speaker 7>in the churches. The churches have a lot of pull

559
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:39.000
<v Speaker 7>on housing around these every single city they have, they

560
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:41.720
<v Speaker 7>have a ton of housing, a ton of apartment buildings.

561
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 7>They're putting them in there.

562
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.839
<v Speaker 9>It's an umbrella.

563
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:44.880
<v Speaker 7>It's just an umbrella.

564
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.960
<v Speaker 2>That's all Pelvis. Pelvis. Again, I've allowed you to say

565
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:49.759
<v Speaker 2>what you want to say. I just haven't seen any

566
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:54.839
<v Speaker 2>support for that. I have seen that the churches have welcomed,

567
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:56.599
<v Speaker 2>particularly down on the southern border.

568
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.279
<v Speaker 9>I employ a lot of them. That's why I'm saying

569
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 9>that a lot of the egal Ones. But these people

570
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:04.319
<v Speaker 9>all know because they live in I understand.

571
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I wish you'd let me finish my comment, and that

572
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 2>is that I think you're right to the point that

573
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the churches have benefited because the more people that they

574
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:19.960
<v Speaker 2>have either helped and lodged and fed and clothed down

575
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.799
<v Speaker 2>on the border or helped move up to more northern destinations,

576
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.480
<v Speaker 2>they get some money for that. Okay, But I don't

577
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.160
<v Speaker 2>think that the churches. I hope the churches are not

578
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:35.960
<v Speaker 2>either knowingly or unwittingly allowing people to come into the

579
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:38.559
<v Speaker 2>country who could be actually physically dangerous.

580
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 9>A large portion of the churches were also touching kids,

581
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 9>So all right, connect Well, that's a whole different story.

582
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually, thanks Pelvis. Uh, that's you know again. I try.

583
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:58.079
<v Speaker 2>I try to deal in this program on facts, uh,

584
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 2>and in truth, because I think that's important. Opinions are

585
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.559
<v Speaker 2>important too, and people can have any opinion they want.

586
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.559
<v Speaker 2>People can think that the moon is made of green cheese.

587
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I probably can't convince anyone that the moon is not

588
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:19.599
<v Speaker 2>made of green cheese. I can cite them to scientific examples,

589
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I can cite them to interviews that were done with

590
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:26.480
<v Speaker 2>astronauts who landed on the Moon and actually walked on

591
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the surface of the Moon. But if they think the

592
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:34.799
<v Speaker 2>moon's made of green cheese, they're not open too much convincing. Okay,

593
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.799
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven two four thirty one line there, six seven,

594
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.559
<v Speaker 2>nine thirty coming right back on Nightside.

595
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Now, back to Dan Way live from the Window World

596
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.039
<v Speaker 1>to night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

597
00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:53.720
<v Speaker 2>We have full lines at eleven fifty one. So I

598
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:57.400
<v Speaker 2>could give one person eight minutes, or I could give

599
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.359
<v Speaker 2>everybody maybe a minute and a half. I think I'm

600
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.599
<v Speaker 2>going to try to be kind to everyone, So I'm

601
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:06.119
<v Speaker 2>going whoever I talked to first, Let's try to be

602
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 2>as succinct as weekend. Okay, again, if you call in

603
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.199
<v Speaker 2>at eleven five, I can give you a lot of time.

604
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 2>Dawn and Indiana down next on Nisaga, right.

605
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:18.360
<v Speaker 9>Ahead, Hello, Dan.

606
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:21.320
<v Speaker 6>I guess I would say that your example with the

607
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:26.639
<v Speaker 6>volunteers demonstrates the fundamental problem that DOSE has. They simply

608
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 6>don't know what they're doing. They may have their eye

609
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 6>on the costs, but they're not in a position to

610
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 6>evaluate whatever the value is for those costs. The examples

611
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 6>that you gave earlier with the base closures were done

612
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:46.800
<v Speaker 6>with consideration of people in Congress over a period of time,

613
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 6>and the best choices were made based upon a lot

614
00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 6>of information, and I think dose is rushing through in

615
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:59.559
<v Speaker 6>a way that really guarantees that they'll be bad choices made.

616
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Well today, that's crazy enough. There was one point that

617
00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the President made which I thought was helpful. He told

618
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 2>his cabinet members that they were to decide, not Elon Musk,

619
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 2>as to who stayed and who went. So I think

620
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 2>we saw beginning today the first daylight between Musk and

621
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:24.400
<v Speaker 2>President Trump, and I think that is probably going to

622
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.199
<v Speaker 2>be healthy in the long run in my In my opinion,

623
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 2>there is waste. We have a thirty seven trillion dollar

624
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:33.320
<v Speaker 2>debt that we have to deal with. So, you know,

625
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:36.480
<v Speaker 2>let's find the waste, but let's find the legitimate waste,

626
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:41.079
<v Speaker 2>and let's let us not bother volunteer surgeons and nurses

627
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.239
<v Speaker 2>who are only trying to help fellow Americans in times

628
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:44.840
<v Speaker 2>of crises.

629
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:47.559
<v Speaker 6>Well, at any rate, we'll have to see what the

630
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:49.719
<v Speaker 6>results are take.

631
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:51.519
<v Speaker 2>And you know, that's the beauty of this. It's like

632
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:55.199
<v Speaker 2>watching the ball game. They'll leave, the succeed or they fail,

633
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and let's see what happens. I want to give them

634
00:35:57.880 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>a chance, but I also want to call them out.

635
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>One I think they have their little out over their skis.

636
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I got to keep rolling on, Thank you so much,

637
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.199
<v Speaker 2>good night, very quickly. Here I got Jennifer in Boston. Next,

638
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer next on nights. I gotta be.

639
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.440
<v Speaker 4>Quick for me, Jennifer by Dan.

640
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:19.960
<v Speaker 8>I just I'm so we're talking about saving money and

641
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:24.119
<v Speaker 8>efficiency and where's their weights and fraud and you know,

642
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 8>all this is for the taxpayers. But I think we

643
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:34.039
<v Speaker 8>need to start with Trump and Musk because you know,

644
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.840
<v Speaker 8>we haven't seen Trump's taxes so and he has so

645
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:45.840
<v Speaker 8>much business and charitable foundations and like two seventeen.

646
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:50.679
<v Speaker 2>The problem is elections have consequences. The time to have

647
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:53.719
<v Speaker 2>seen his taxes would have been before the election. Uh,

648
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:56.079
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing that I know of which is going to

649
00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.880
<v Speaker 2>be able to compel the disclosure of his taxes at

650
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:03.400
<v Speaker 2>this point. Yeah, but well.

651
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:05.480
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

652
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Consequences, jen I hate to do this year. But they

653
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:13.679
<v Speaker 2>got three more. I'm going to try to get in

654
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:14.840
<v Speaker 2>here real quickly.

655
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.320
<v Speaker 8>Got like ten seconds. I didn't even get to finish

656
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:18.639
<v Speaker 8>Elion too.

00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:24.639
<v Speaker 2>The three Jennifer, there's three people behind you. Why don't

658
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.159
<v Speaker 2>I give you there three minutes? Go ahead?

659
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.440
<v Speaker 8>No, No, it's fine but you know, I believe got

660
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:29.760
<v Speaker 8>a word.

661
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:33.039
<v Speaker 2>You've been on a minute twenty believe it or not. Jen,

662
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:37.559
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go. Thank you much. We're gonna go here, George.

663
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give you one minute. I got two more

664
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:41.199
<v Speaker 2>behind you. Go ahead, George.

665
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:47.360
<v Speaker 4>So looking at the dictionary doge the doge was original

666
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:52.400
<v Speaker 4>doges was the chief chief elected magistrates of the former

667
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:58.480
<v Speaker 4>republics of Venice, Genoa, and Florence. The diplomat who wrote

668
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:03.760
<v Speaker 4>about these dogees was Machiavelli. The good, the bad, and

669
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:04.639
<v Speaker 4>the ugly.

670
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.320
<v Speaker 6>Uh and so uh.

671
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.039
<v Speaker 4>Venice was the home of Marco Polo, and Genoa did

672
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:16.599
<v Speaker 4>manufacturing and textiles and things like that, and Florence was

673
00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:22.679
<v Speaker 4>where Machiavelli was strangely was into art, paintings, statues and

674
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.679
<v Speaker 4>other things. And they built built.

675
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:28.480
<v Speaker 2>But we've done a minute, and I got two more.

683
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.360
<v Speaker 7>all this stuff today, all I could think of was

684
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:50.000
<v Speaker 7>Dragnet where he goes to detective goes just the facts, man,

685

<v Speaker 6>Oh no, I wasn't gonna call it tonight, but I

696
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:23.239
<v Speaker 2>hi Dan.

697
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:28.679
<v Speaker 5>I was enjoying the show, and I just was enthusiastic

698
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.000
<v Speaker 5>about what's going on in the country as being a

699
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:36.280
<v Speaker 5>seventy three year old man. Just I'm just gonna get

700
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.239
<v Speaker 5>right to the point. There's a lot of things that

701
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.920
<v Speaker 5>narrowed down to one subject about the Doge.

702
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:43.480
<v Speaker 7>How come.

703
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:49.760
<v Speaker 5>There we have decided to let Jon Musk continue his

704
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:56.119
<v Speaker 5>Space pro programs with his billion dollar contracts. Why don't

705
00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:58.440
<v Speaker 5>we just say we don't need to go to the

706
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:01.199
<v Speaker 5>moon now, we don't you need to go to Mars

707
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:04.400
<v Speaker 5>now we're going to cut that out and save that money.

708
00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, because Donald Trump likes some elections have consequences. It's

709
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:12.800
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that. Don If you call earlier, we

710
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.519
<v Speaker 2>can have a much longer conversation. But we can. We've

711
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:18.079
<v Speaker 2>run out of time. Thank you much. We are done

712
00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:19.400
<v Speaker 2>for the night, and how much I have left here?

713
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:19.639
<v Speaker 4>Rob?

714
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:22.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, we've run out of time. I want to

715
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:24.960
<v Speaker 2>thank all the callers. You know what we do here

716
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:27.199
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside is we give people a chance to talk.

717
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:31.039
<v Speaker 2>That's the idea. And if you want to really talk,

718
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:33.400
<v Speaker 2>which you really want to do, is you want to

719
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:36.760
<v Speaker 2>call early. And when you start calling a quarter or twelve,

720
00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:38.920
<v Speaker 2>we run out of time, in which we have run

721
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 2>out of time. So I want to save a few

722
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:45.039
<v Speaker 2>moments to thank Rob. Rob has tomorrow night off, so

723
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Rob have a good long weekend. I want to thank Marita,

724
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:51.199
<v Speaker 2>I want to thank all the callers, and I want

725
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:55.000
<v Speaker 2>to thank most importantly the listeners. I will be on

726
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Facebook very quickly. Just go to Nightside with Dan. Ray

727
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:01.320
<v Speaker 2>can see me on Facebook and we will do our

728
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:04.199
<v Speaker 2>post game, which we do every night. Tomorrow night. We

729
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.679
<v Speaker 2>will be joined at nine o'clock by Mark Misselbeck the
