Speaker 1: I'm easy, Boston, all right, let me pick up a
Speaker 1: call or two here. We just finished talking with State
Speaker 1: Auditor Diana Dezaglio, and she wants to audit the state
Speaker 1: legislature and that will be the next topic we will
Speaker 1: discuss with her. Why anyone would be opposed to auditing
Speaker 1: the state legislature by the state order is beyond me,
Speaker 1: So we'll we will talk with her sometime next month
Speaker 1: and maybe even into October about valid question one, because
Speaker 1: that's one that should win with like eighty percent of
Speaker 1: the vote. I mean, the only people who should vote
Speaker 1: against it are members of the legislature and their immediate families.
Speaker 1: Let me go to Joe and Lee and Joy. I
Speaker 1: know you were holding onlong. I wish you called earlier.
Speaker 2: I know I tried that this is a great topic
Speaker 2: and this shows you how bad these people are. I
Speaker 2: wanted to ask Diane. I hope we can get in
Speaker 2: touch of her at the State House. If uniting the
Speaker 2: NB table to help with these ride and I know
Speaker 2: you tried to have and some of the senior agencies
Speaker 2: that are supposed to help us, because we're having trouble
Speaker 2: with some of them. Do you think, in your opinion,
Speaker 2: that might help her do that. Once we get auditing
Speaker 2: the legislature, we can go after some of these agencies,
Speaker 2: which I mean.
Speaker 1: Any public agency, Joe, that is intended to provide a service,
Speaker 1: and the ride is intended to provide.
Speaker 2: Transportation, and some of the senior agencies too, that I
Speaker 2: let me have.
Speaker 1: Finish, let me do me, give me the privilege of
Speaker 1: finishing my statement. Okay, and then you can jump in there. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to cut you off, Joe. Okay, as
Speaker 1: I started to say, any service that is provided with
Speaker 1: taxpayer money, including the ride, which helps people, either senior
Speaker 1: citizens or people with disabilities, to conduct a life that
Speaker 1: normal that most of us take for granted. You getting
Speaker 1: the doctor's appointments, getting to the grocery store, getting out
Speaker 1: and socializing with friends. That should be available and accessible,
Speaker 1: and it should be audited. And if if for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: they're not fulfilling their mandate, then they need to find
Speaker 1: other people in there.
Speaker 2: So with the reason I mentioned that thanks is because
Speaker 2: they're too late, or they're too earlier, the drivers don't
Speaker 2: how to handle people, or speak proper English, or they
Speaker 2: all kinds of things.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that, Joe, you know again, I
Speaker 1: don't know enough about the inner workings of the ride.
Speaker 1: I can only tell you that that sometimes when someone
Speaker 1: says to me, I'll meet you here at noontime and
Speaker 1: traffic is tough, they get there late. So you know, again, Will,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into specifics of the day
Speaker 1: that guy was ten minutes like for you or something
Speaker 1: that the guy didn't speak Queen's English. The better question
Speaker 1: is is the ride fulfilling its obligation and helping people
Speaker 1: get from you know, from their homes to places that
Speaker 1: they need to get to. That's all. And if it's
Speaker 1: you know, if there's a blizzard in January with eighteen
Speaker 1: inches of snow, maybe the ride might not be as efficient.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, but I'm just saying we're
Speaker 2: having all kinds of problems we never had years ago.
Speaker 1: And well, that's fine. That's fine, and it should be audited.
Speaker 1: Joe appreciate. Sorry, couldn't get through to the auditor, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure she's listening right now.
Speaker 2: Thank He's great. And one another quickie I want to say,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm against all these disclosure agreements, non disclosure. Everything
Speaker 2: should be disclosed.
Speaker 3: And I'm tired.
Speaker 2: Hospitals have non disclosures. You know this, get rid of
Speaker 2: all this, get it out in the open.
Speaker 3: I agree with her.
Speaker 1: There, sunlight is the greatest disinfected.
Speaker 2: Greatest thank you, bye bye, thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, So now the debate about the debate is
Speaker 1: what we're going to talk about. Uh. In the last
Speaker 1: few days, it has become a little questionable as to
Speaker 1: whether or not a former President Trump and Vice President
Speaker 1: Harris will meet in debate on September tenth on ABC,
Speaker 1: as agreed to by the Trump campaign and the Biden campaign.
Speaker 1: If you remember last June, they agreed to the CNN debate,
Speaker 1: which of course was held, and they also agreed to
Speaker 1: a debate on ABC with apparently the same ground rules
Speaker 1: that were in effect on the CNN debate, which was
Speaker 1: microphones would be muted. People would be given a certain
Speaker 1: amount of time to speak and then their microphone would
Speaker 1: be turned down. There would be no studio audience to
Speaker 1: play to. And the debate that occurred between Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden was it was interesting. Certainly, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: behaved himself remarkably well, conducted himself in a much more
Speaker 1: professional manner in his debate Joe Biden that he did
Speaker 1: with the presidential debates in twenty twenty, or, for that matter,
Speaker 1: of the presidential debates in twenty sixteen. Now it appears
Speaker 1: as if from what the reporting I'm seeing, that the
Speaker 1: Democrats are looking to change the ground rules somewhat and
Speaker 1: unmute the microphones, which would give Donald Trump an opportunity
Speaker 1: to be interruptive, which is not helpful to I think
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, whether he realizes it or not. So we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about that. Also. Donald Trump today spoke
Speaker 1: about this very issue, and we have some of his comments. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas was in a pretty heated
Speaker 1: conversation with Jonathan Carl, an ABC reporter, So we're going
Speaker 1: to get to some of that as well. But in
Speaker 1: terms of Donald Trump, and we don't have any sound
Speaker 1: from the Vice president. The Vice President has not consented
Speaker 1: to an interview of any sort since she became not
Speaker 1: only the clear front runner for the Democratic nomination shortly
Speaker 1: after Joe Biden announced he was not he was going
Speaker 1: to remove himself in the race. She has done no interviews,
Speaker 1: she has done no press conferences, so we don't know
Speaker 1: on the record what her position is and I wish
Speaker 1: we did so we could give her sort of an
Speaker 1: equal time provision here. But this is what Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is accusing her of. Let's go to cut thirty, Rob,
Speaker 1: cut thirty.
Speaker 4: But they're trying to change it.
Speaker 5: The truth is they're trying to get out of it
Speaker 5: because she doesn't want a debate. She's not a good debater,
Speaker 5: she's not a smart person.
Speaker 4: She doesn't want a debate. But when I looked at
Speaker 4: the hostility during the weekend, you watch it this week
Speaker 4: with George Slapadopolis and the Vietnamese didn't.
Speaker 1: Get that one. You got it? You didn't get it.
Speaker 1: I could. I have no idea what he's referring to there.
Speaker 1: I assume he must be speaking to a group of Vietnamese,
Speaker 1: as he intentionally mangled Stephanopoulos's name. I don't think that
Speaker 1: is helpful, but that's okay. He did talk about again
Speaker 1: some of the specifics that he believes ABC is trying
Speaker 1: to change the rules on Let's go to cut twenty eight, Rob.
Speaker 4: They also want to change the rules.
Speaker 1: You know, the deal was we keep the same rules.
Speaker 4: Now all of a sudden they want to make a
Speaker 4: change it the rules because she can't answer questions, why
Speaker 4: doesn't she do a couple of question answer?
Speaker 5: Why does she do something like I'm doing right now?
Speaker 5: She can't talk. We can't have another dummy as the president. Okay,
Speaker 5: we cannot have a dummie. And the people from Vietnam
Speaker 5: agree with that.
Speaker 1: Well, again, that is the sound bite. Apparently he was speaking.
Speaker 1: I believe he's speaking Michigan today. And then he did
Speaker 1: talk about the microphones being muted, that he's okay with
Speaker 1: it either way, but this is what he had to say.
Speaker 1: They're cut twenty nine, Rob. We agreed to the same rules.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't matter to me. I'd rather
Speaker 1: have it probably on.
Speaker 4: But the agreement was that it would be the same
Speaker 4: as it was last time. In that case it was muted.
Speaker 4: I didn't like it the last time, but it worked
Speaker 4: out fine. We asked Biden how it worked out.
Speaker 1: It was fine, and I think it should be the same.
Speaker 4: We agreed to the same rules, same rules, and same specifications,
Speaker 4: and I think that's probably what.
Speaker 1: It should be. So at this point it appears that
Speaker 1: the debate about the debate is what is about to
Speaker 1: take place here, which to me is interesting. You have
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, who, according to all all suggestions at the
Speaker 1: moment is losing ground to Vice President Harris, So you
Speaker 1: would think he would want every opportunity to debate. Sounds
Speaker 1: to me like he's almost happy that Harris. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know what Harris's position is. If anybody knows what
Speaker 1: Harris's position is, I think it's amazing that the media,
Speaker 1: the national media, the people who should have access to
Speaker 1: the vice president, have basically let her ride for the
Speaker 1: last five weeks. Is that what it is? Maybe five
Speaker 1: weeks through the convention, there was there was no availability
Speaker 1: other than a couple of times when she was at
Speaker 1: a gaggle of reporters, and there are a couple of
Speaker 1: questions that, you know, isn't this a lovely day, madam
Speaker 1: Vice President? Yes, it is? Or something something innocuous? Is
Speaker 1: that should Donald Trump debate? I think that the former
Speaker 1: president and the vice president should debate a minimum a
Speaker 1: minimum of five times between now and November fifth. We
Speaker 1: have I think it's seventy four days, which is ten weeks,
Speaker 1: ten weeks plus a few days. I think that there
Speaker 1: should be a debate every two weeks beginning September tenth,
Speaker 1: rotating the media, the television network so CNN had their debate.
Speaker 1: ABC should have the debate in September tenth, NBC, CBS, Fox, MSNBC.
Speaker 1: We'll figure out ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and MSNBC. Those
Speaker 1: should be the five debates that should be held between
Speaker 1: now and November fifth. Maybe they could they could draw lots.
Speaker 1: Haven't every well, maybe not Monday night because you've got
Speaker 1: Monday night football. Maybe every Wednesday night, some regularity so
Speaker 1: that the American people can take a measure of both.
Speaker 1: They certainly know Donald Trump. They certainly know Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: but they don't really know Vice President Harris as they
Speaker 1: wouldn't they They we never know the vice president of
Speaker 1: the United States because they always stand in the shadow
Speaker 1: of the president. And it's not fair to the voters.
Speaker 1: It's not fair to the vice president. There should be
Speaker 1: an opportunity for her to be seen by the voters
Speaker 1: in as many forums as possible. I want to hear
Speaker 1: from you six seven, six, seven, nine, ten thirty. How
Speaker 1: many debates do you think? It's an important election? Some
Speaker 1: are saying the most important of our lifetime. But it's
Speaker 1: a very important election. Let's have debates. They could have
Speaker 1: one on foreign policy. They gonna have one on immigration,
Speaker 1: one on the economy, one on social justice. Find find
Speaker 1: five issues and five five different ways, got five different venues,
Speaker 1: five issues, five venues, five debates. That should be our policy.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, let me hear what you think.
Speaker 1: Six seven thirty six seven nine. We will be talking
Speaker 1: a lot of politics, but we're not going to talk
Speaker 1: about politics every night. So if you want to weigh
Speaker 1: in tonight, don't assume they were talking about it tomorrow
Speaker 1: night or Thursday night or Friday night. We will talk
Speaker 1: about it when the issues arise. The issue has arisen today,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it tonight. Back on Night Side after.
Speaker 3: This, Now, back to Dan ray Line from the Window World.
Speaker 5: Nights Sank Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone. It's gonna go to Bob
Speaker 1: and Waymouth. Bob, you were next on Nights, our first
Speaker 1: this hour on Nights. I go right, hit Bob.
Speaker 3: Hi, Dan, how you doing? You're Dan good? You sound good? Uh?
Speaker 3: Trump will never never debate Vice President Harris. Really, you know,
Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't care whether it's moulded, not multed,
Speaker 3: or on Fox or any other media station, ABC, CNN.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you, Dan even if it was at Mari Lango.
Speaker 3: Trumpe has a proven record. He doesn't face his opponents.
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa? Hold on? Hold on? Correct me if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I maybe my member was slipping. But he
Speaker 1: debated Hillary Clinton, Yes, in twenty sixteen. He debated Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: I think it was two or three times in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and he debated for well, former candidate President Biden in
Speaker 1: June of this year. Will do you come up with?
Speaker 1: And he also debated He had several debates in twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen with the the entire group of the primary opponents.
Speaker 1: Remember low energy, Jeb Bush, little Mario. He debated. He
Speaker 1: debated all of them, all of them. So when do
Speaker 1: you come up with? The end that he won't he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to debate his opponents.
Speaker 3: Oh I came with? He doesn't. He doesn't not want
Speaker 3: to debate Vice President Harris. Why why do you.
Speaker 1: Say what I'm trying to Why? Let me you tell
Speaker 1: me why you don't think and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: I think it's in his interest.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, okay, I'll tell you. Why say you say?
Speaker 3: If it's not muted, right, mud, it makes no difference. First,
Speaker 3: he comes out. Trompe has a tendency to have fallacies
Speaker 3: when he talks, but there's no checking on him till
Speaker 3: the next day. But first thing Paris will say to
Speaker 3: one that's misinformation. Then he'll come up with something he
Speaker 3: can't debate. Okay, so let's let.
Speaker 1: Let's deal with the misinformation, Bob, Okay, let's deal. Let's
Speaker 1: deal with the misinformation now. At the convention, Vice President Harris,
Speaker 1: in her acceptance speech, stated inaccurately that Trump had promised
Speaker 1: to cut Social Security and Medicare. That has been proven
Speaker 1: to be absolutely untrue. Trump.
Speaker 3: I never heard that either.
Speaker 1: Did you watch that?
Speaker 3: Did he wanted? Trump wanted that?
Speaker 1: Did you watch her acceptance speech?
Speaker 3: I did, but I didn't pick that up. I didn't think.
Speaker 1: Did you hear Bob? Let me just ask you. I
Speaker 1: just all which I do is have a conversation. Relax.
Speaker 1: Did you hear the Vice president make that claim?
Speaker 3: Not correctly to him? Though?
Speaker 1: Who was she talking about that?
Speaker 3: I wasn't. When I'm trying to recall out the Republican Party,
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you what I'm trying to recall.
Speaker 1: Well, I know, but what I'm telling you is you're
Speaker 1: recalling it because she said Donald Trump, I watched it
Speaker 1: very carefully, has pledged to cut so scurty medicare. That
Speaker 1: is a flat out on truth. Either she didn't understand it,
Speaker 1: or she tried to mislead people. There's no political candidate
Speaker 1: for national public office who in their right mind would say,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, i'lllect me because I want to cut your
Speaker 1: social security hit.
Speaker 3: Dan, let me get back. That was twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Who was quotum? That's the platform when Plump gets s
Speaker 3: inn it's that's not.
Speaker 1: His platform either, Bob. That's a platform that was written
Speaker 1: by a bunch of political activists, conservative political activists associated
Speaker 1: with the Heritage Foundation. He has said that he has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that. He hasn't read it, he
Speaker 1: doesn't endorse it. There might be some there might be
Speaker 1: some things that he would agree with, but that's not
Speaker 1: his project.
Speaker 3: Well, Dan, it is his project. He got one hundred
Speaker 3: and eight people had worked from the campaign. His vice
Speaker 3: president of candidate also wrote, wrote uh something on it.
Speaker 3: Plus he knows not the guy from Mom from the
Speaker 3: uh from the Foundation.
Speaker 1: He probably knows with them. He's you know something, Dan,
Speaker 1: probably is this your a game? Is this? Is this
Speaker 1: the best you got.
Speaker 3: I'm not bro I'm just saying, well, you.
Speaker 1: Know, you're struck out on everything so far. I mean,
Speaker 1: how many of beats do you want here? I mean
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, we're into the ninth inning. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to be gentle with you, but I'm telling you
Speaker 1: you were fraught with misinformation. Here's the point. Here's the point.
Speaker 1: Why has the Vice president not done one interview, held
Speaker 1: one news conference in the last five weeks?
Speaker 3: Well, well, well she's I know what she stands for.
Speaker 3: She stands for a woman's rights on abortion.
Speaker 1: Yes, she definitely does on that. What's your position? What's
Speaker 1: your position?
Speaker 3: Let me kinnishstand.
Speaker 1: I'm asking you, what's your position is cracking?
Speaker 3: I know what your God we turn the pastages. NATO
Speaker 3: was very important and also you just.
Speaker 1: Want to make a speech. You want talking, but yours?
Speaker 1: What's your position? What's your position unfracking?
Speaker 3: Your original position on fracking? I believe she didn't want it.
Speaker 1: What's your position now?
Speaker 3: I don't know, you don't know.
Speaker 1: What's your position on the border?
Speaker 3: Uh? A position on the borders? If very strowing? They
Speaker 3: passed legislation.
Speaker 1: What is her position on the border?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 3: A minute. Let me finish.
Speaker 1: You answer the question. I don't want to know what legislation.
Speaker 1: I want to know what her position on the border is.
Speaker 1: What is your position.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna You're gonna give me a chance.
Speaker 3: You have to do so, he wants to She had
Speaker 3: had to strengthen the bord a different processing when they
Speaker 3: come or board, and the legislation was not passed by
Speaker 3: you know who has.
Speaker 1: The is the border open? Let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: my friend, Bob. You know what, Bob, you're boring me
Speaker 1: at this point, you really are boring me. Thanks very
Speaker 1: much for the call. Okay, if you've seen your lady man,
Speaker 1: there is what you call a low information voter right there,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. That is someone who has swallowed hook
Speaker 1: line and sinker. We don't do that on nightside. I'm
Speaker 1: going to tell you when when Harris is clear, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you when Trump is wrong. I'll tell you when
Speaker 1: Trump is right. I'll tell you when Harris is not clear.
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. If you want to spout information,
Speaker 1: that's okay. But I'm going to ask you questions. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to sit here like a potted plant and
Speaker 1: let you tell say whatever you want when it's incorrect,
Speaker 1: simple as that. But I'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 1: The only line I have opened right now is six
Speaker 1: months seven nine. If you're an intelligent Harris supporter, bring on,
Speaker 1: Come on. If you're an intelligent Trump supporter, bring it on.
Speaker 1: Explain to me why Trump has to continue to engage
Speaker 1: in ominum attacks on people and does not seem to
Speaker 1: want to spend his entire time talking about issues. Explain
Speaker 1: to me why Harris has not given an interview or
Speaker 1: a news conference of any sort of any sort since
Speaker 1: before Joe Biden decided that he was no longer a candidate.
Speaker 1: What do you want? Do you want information? Do you
Speaker 1: want to know what these candidates stand for? I think
Speaker 1: most people know what Donald Trump's positions are, okay, But
Speaker 1: I don't know what the current positions of Vice President
Speaker 1: Harris are. Now. Maybe the way for her to become
Speaker 1: president is to not have interviews and not do news conferences.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty cynical point of view. If that's what
Speaker 1: she really believes, I don't know. I want to see
Speaker 1: five presidential debates between now and November fifth. I'd love
Speaker 1: to know what you think back on Nightside right after
Speaker 1: the news.
Speaker 3: You're on night Side with Dan Rays Radio.
Speaker 1: Let me go to Eric and Natick. Eric, you were
Speaker 1: next on nightside right ahead?
Speaker 6: Hello, Dan, how are you good?
Speaker 1: Just trying to ask people if they're looking forward to
Speaker 1: debates and how many would they like to see, irrespective
Speaker 1: of whether they're a Harris supporter or a Trump supporter.
Speaker 1: What say you? Eric?
Speaker 6: I'm going to say at least three? Okay, because I
Speaker 6: don't think Harris is going to want a debate at all.
Speaker 1: Well, you're in a disagreement with Bob. I mean, you know, Bob.
Speaker 1: Bob thinks Trump doesn't want a debate, and I laid
Speaker 1: out a long list of debates that Trump has engaged,
Speaker 1: And I think Harris will have to debate, don't you.
Speaker 1: I mean, can she avoid it?
Speaker 6: Well, it's not the reason why I call it, but
Speaker 6: I'm happy to talk about it.
Speaker 1: We can talk about it. Tell me why you call it?
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Well no, I'll just finish if you don't mind.
Speaker 6: But because Harris pretty much just walked through and became
Speaker 6: the nominee without any primary, then yes, I think she
Speaker 6: has to debate.
Speaker 1: I call it. I call it the immaculate nomination.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I do. Yes, that's a very good term for it.
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's it's a mystery. It's never happened before. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's you know a lot of people I the office,
Speaker 1: no one ever, no one ever had the path to
Speaker 1: the office stroom with rose pedals before.
Speaker 6: Yes, And I not to be a conspiracy conspiracy theorist,
Speaker 6: but it'll be mind boggling if she happens to just
Speaker 6: waltz in and then wins.
Speaker 1: Oh. I think she's got a great chance of winning.
Speaker 1: She's ahead of the polls from what we're being told.
Speaker 1: I I will go back and I will tell you
Speaker 1: that I am of the bel at this point that
Speaker 1: the White House basically realized at some point that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was not equipped to handle this campaign and that
Speaker 1: he was put up to fail. On that June twenty
Speaker 1: sixth debate with Donald Trump.
Speaker 6: I wholeheartedly agree. The reason for my call is I
Speaker 6: wanted to call and say first time, long time.
Speaker 1: Well right, first time, Pauler will get a round of
Speaker 1: a pleasure on digital studio audience. Now we're talking right ahead, Eric.
Speaker 6: Thank you very much. A coworker who became a good
Speaker 6: friend of mine, Dean turned me on to you, and
Speaker 6: I'm totally I'm totally hooked.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I'm glad we hooked you.
Speaker 6: And one of the reasons is because you are, in
Speaker 6: my opinion, you're very fair and even I didn't even
Speaker 6: want to talk about this when I initially called. But
Speaker 6: you talking to Bob and trying to engage not just
Speaker 6: Bob but other listeners and ask them questions and then
Speaker 6: you get cut off. Really, you have a lot of patience,
Speaker 6: So I give that one. I mean, it is your show.
Speaker 1: But you know what I look without without good callers,
Speaker 1: the show doesn't do well. We're starting year eighteen, so
Speaker 1: I think we've done okay for a while and I
Speaker 1: hope we can continue for a while. But without callers,
Speaker 1: there's no show. And that's why I try to convince
Speaker 1: people that we're here. You're talking to people right now,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, in thirty eight states all across
Speaker 1: the country. They're hearing your point of view, and I
Speaker 1: think there's a value to that. Most people argue in
Speaker 1: their family or with their neighbors, and they that's the
Speaker 1: only people that they get to. You're getting the people
Speaker 1: across America right now because of the strength not because
Speaker 1: of me, but because of the strength of the WBZ
Speaker 1: radio signal as well as the iHeart app and the
Speaker 1: Internet and everything that you understand probably better than I do.
Speaker 6: Technically, No, absolutely, but again it's because of the WBS
Speaker 6: and because of you that so many people get to
Speaker 6: listen to it, and it's it's highly entertaining in my mind,
Speaker 6: So thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, keep calling.
Speaker 6: The initial reason for my call, I'm sorry it was
Speaker 6: about I was able to turn it on right as
Speaker 6: you were just ending the conversation about the ride. Yes,
Speaker 6: and I know you're already passed the point, so I
Speaker 6: do apologize. But my mother is disabled and she takes
Speaker 6: the ride, and I think it's an absolutely great service.
Speaker 6: And it doesn't matter if all these people are English
Speaker 6: or speak English well, or are from this country to
Speaker 6: begin with, or what whatnot. What what those people do
Speaker 6: on a daily basis is something that should be recognized
Speaker 6: and they have, just like in any job, there's a
Speaker 6: lot of things that they could be doing better. And
Speaker 6: but I think as a whole, the entire organization definitely
Speaker 6: puts their best foot forward and and tries the fellow Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's gonna happen and any Yeah.
Speaker 1: The fellow who called Joe Joe from Lynn has had
Speaker 1: some disappointments with the ride. You you have to know
Speaker 1: Joe's experience. He he's blind, which complicates his life, probably
Speaker 1: even more than than you or I could imagine.
Speaker 6: And absolutely he.
Speaker 1: Has enlisted my assistance a couple of times to try
Speaker 1: to get some answers. And again, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: it's a complicated situation he finds himself in and and
Speaker 1: he wanted to talk about it, and I just told
Speaker 1: him that, well, you were what I had to say.
Speaker 1: And it's it's so great to hear that your mom
Speaker 1: has had success with it out in Natick, I kind
Speaker 1: of you know, look, someday, probably all of us will
Speaker 1: be you know, because look, you don't want to bother
Speaker 1: your kids. I have two children. I don't want them
Speaker 1: to be, you know, driving me around. They have their
Speaker 1: life still live, they have their life to live, and
Speaker 1: there's a there's a sense of independence with the ride.
Speaker 1: All of us, at some point are children will take
Speaker 1: away the car keys. And when that happens, you want that,
Speaker 1: you want to maintain your independence. So yeah, if if
Speaker 1: all of us live long enough, and we lose our ability,
Speaker 1: you know, to drive safely, we lose our car keys.
Speaker 1: And I hope the ride is there for me when
Speaker 1: that day comes.
Speaker 6: Yes, and I think I remember you having a conversation
Speaker 6: way back about his issues with the ride, and it
Speaker 6: is unfortunate. But again, just like any established business or
Speaker 6: transportation or whatever, you you know, you are going to
Speaker 6: run into some hurdles and not every experience is going
Speaker 6: to be great unfortunately.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, first of all, Eric, thank you for calling,
Speaker 1: and thank you're co worker. I think you mentioned his
Speaker 1: name who who suggested you listen, And and yes, thank
Speaker 1: Dean for me personally. And you are now an official
Speaker 1: nighttime caller and we'll look forward to call number two
Speaker 1: from you.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, thank you so much and have a
Speaker 6: great night.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Eric, talk to you soon.
Speaker 6: Have a great all right.
Speaker 1: The issue of this evening is the dust up that
Speaker 1: has occurred over the weekend. It now appears that the
Speaker 1: September tenth ABC debate between the Republican and the Democratic nominee,
Speaker 1: former President Trump and Vice President Harris now seems to
Speaker 1: be in jeopardy because there's some questions. Donald Trump spoke
Speaker 1: to those today we raise some of them. We played
Speaker 1: some of those soundbites. I'd like to hear from you.
Speaker 1: I think that there should be a minimum of three
Speaker 1: a maximum of five, and there should be at least
Speaker 1: a couple of debates between the vice presidential candidates. These
Speaker 1: are the people who exercise extraordinary power and influence in
Speaker 1: our lives, and I want to know. I want the
Speaker 1: American public to know. Many of you who are listening
Speaker 1: have strong feeling Okay, you have strong feelings because you
Speaker 1: follow politics closely, just like people follow the Patriots or
Speaker 1: the Red Sox closely. I'm more concerned about people who
Speaker 1: whose vote weighed just as much as yours, whether you're
Speaker 1: a Democrat or Republican, but people who are voting because
Speaker 1: they just they don't follow it closely. I want everybody
Speaker 1: to go to the polls and understand the issues and
Speaker 1: understand the candidates. I don't think that's too much to
Speaker 1: ask for. I hope you don't join the conversation. Uh.
Speaker 1: If you were bored with this race, then you're bored
Speaker 1: with democracy, and that's unfortunate. Six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 1: four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten
Speaker 1: thirty We're coming right back on Nightside.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 2: Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep rolling here. We're going to get
Speaker 1: everybody in. Well, I promise before midnight, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Tim is in Wilburn. Tim, You're next on Nightside, correct Sir,
Speaker 1: Hi Dan.
Speaker 7: I agree with you. I think they should be.
Speaker 1: Four to five d Yeah, you know we're running out
Speaker 1: of time, but let's get him scheduled and let's get
Speaker 1: all the networks involved exactly.
Speaker 7: In anyhow, election day, November fifth is my birthday. I
Speaker 7: got my fingers crossed with Trump.
Speaker 1: That would be if if that's the birthday present you want,
Speaker 1: it would be quite a birthday present.
Speaker 7: Well, the thing about my when he was president and
Speaker 7: what sticks out in my mind, gasoline and food were
Speaker 7: decent prices.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 7: He didn't fall around with the Middle East, he was
Speaker 7: tough on the illegal immigrants. And anyhow, I got my
Speaker 7: fingers cross him. I want the gasoline and food to
Speaker 7: come down.
Speaker 3: The money.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I mean it has to. I
Speaker 1: mean it's eating a way, particularly at people who are
Speaker 1: who are living check to check and also with seniors.
Speaker 1: You know, seniors, many of whom are relying on Social Security.
Speaker 1: They have other you know, problems that come up, and
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of money to spend. And
Speaker 1: when you're.
Speaker 7: Back to me, I'm seventy two years old on social Security, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You got it, You got it. So that's that's me.
Speaker 1: That is important. And I don't think any candidate, including
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, would be crazy enough to cut social Security
Speaker 1: or medicare.
Speaker 3: I think they Oh no, no, they shoot them.
Speaker 7: He can't do that.
Speaker 1: Don't even say that. Don't even say that.
Speaker 7: Should I take that? Yes, I'm a long time called
Speaker 7: This is my second time. I'm a long time listener,
Speaker 7: second time caller.
Speaker 1: Well, Tim, I want to come back more often.
Speaker 7: You are so intelligent and so well spoken, and I
Speaker 7: thank you very much. I look forward every night to
Speaker 7: listen to you.
Speaker 1: Tim. I appreciate it. I can't tell you how much
Speaker 1: I appreciate in turing you and thousands of other people
Speaker 1: being there every night. You have many options, entertainment options,
Speaker 1: information options, and to think that people turn on w
Speaker 1: BZ to listen to me, it's humbling, and I mean
Speaker 1: that's seriously that there's no false humility there.
Speaker 7: Okay, you keep up the good work and thank you
Speaker 7: very much.
Speaker 1: Thanks Tim. We'll talk soon, okay, looking forward to calling
Speaker 1: them call number three. Thank you much. Let me keep
Speaker 1: rolling here, going to go to Sue in New Hampshire. Sue,
Speaker 1: welcome to night Side. How are you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 8: Hi Dan, Nice to talk to you again. I think
Speaker 8: just about my third time in calling in. Good for you,
Speaker 8: thank you. I just wanted everyone to know that the
Speaker 8: main reason why these Kennedys do not want r f
Speaker 8: K to join Biden is because so many of them
Speaker 8: are on Joe Biden's payroll.
Speaker 1: Well if they're not, at least they're on his campaign team.
Speaker 1: I mean whether or not they're on the payroll as well.
Speaker 8: I've heard that in very very good sources and I
Speaker 8: can't understand that. I guess, well there was some I mean.
Speaker 1: Joseph Kennedy form Corks with Joe Kennedy's ambassador, you know,
Speaker 1: to to Ireland or not the best violent he is.
Speaker 1: He's his his representatives in Northern Ireland.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 8: I know young Joe Kennedy. I worked with him at
Speaker 8: Cambridge Corty. He's a wonderful fellow, wonderful, very very nice.
Speaker 8: And I also would like to say she's not a
Speaker 8: very serious person, Dan, if you don't mind me saying that.
Speaker 1: Which one are you talking about?
Speaker 8: Harris? Now, she's just not very very serious. And I
Speaker 8: think this terrible liliff that she has is kind of
Speaker 8: a cover up for her incompetence. But that's what I
Speaker 8: wanted to say.
Speaker 1: Well, you got it in, you got it.
Speaker 8: Is nice to talk to you, great to talk with you.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Bye bye.
Speaker 1: Keep rolling. You're going to go to Mike and Beverly.
Speaker 1: Mike next on Nice. I go ahead, Mike, we can
Speaker 1: hear you find go right ahead. How many debates should
Speaker 1: former President Trump and Vice President Harris have between now
Speaker 1: an election day?
Speaker 9: Three? But you gotta be none. Even from Aswami says
Speaker 9: the same thing, And you gotta be none, Dan, you
Speaker 9: get to hide on the basement. I'm telling you my words.
Speaker 10: Everyone says the same thing.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the deal. Here's the deal. One. First of all,
Speaker 1: I hope you're wrong, Okay, in time will know if
Speaker 1: if you are or not. But I'm an advocate for
Speaker 1: five debates. And the reason I'm advocating for five debates,
Speaker 1: I'd love to see five. I'll be happy with three,
Speaker 1: but I want to make sure that both we can
Speaker 1: look at both of these candidates on the stage together.
Speaker 1: Let us be able to compare them, not only you
Speaker 1: and me. You and I probably have a pretty good
Speaker 1: sense of who they are, because that's what you're You're
Speaker 1: a regular listener and a regular caller. I'm a talk
Speaker 1: show host. I try to be clear and fear in
Speaker 1: my treatment of them. When I say that she hasn't
Speaker 1: done an interview, she hasn't done a news conference, that's accurate.
Speaker 1: When I say that her statement that Donald Trump wants
Speaker 1: to cut will cut SOS, Courtier Medicare is inaccurate, true,
Speaker 1: it's not true. And so you know, I want to
Speaker 1: people go to the polls and understand what they're voting on,
Speaker 1: how they vote. I just want them to have a
Speaker 1: full knowledge and understanding of who these two candidates are
Speaker 1: and what they represent.
Speaker 9: I get it him, but you can't. Colo. But she
Speaker 9: did accept that debate that Bayen had. She accepted it
Speaker 9: outside of the Air Force too.
Speaker 10: Before the convention.
Speaker 9: I heard it. But now all of a sudden, she's
Speaker 9: back betterly now. And that's why we get the issues
Speaker 9: down with Mike and all this sort of stuff that's
Speaker 9: from her camp. They want to change her on now
Speaker 9: because if you go back to the vice president when
Speaker 9: she battled on I can't even name with the vice
Speaker 9: president for Trump last time, you know, Mike Pence, Yes,
Speaker 9: that's her. Yeah.
Speaker 10: If you go back to that tape and they short
Speaker 10: of recently, you know, she kept jumping over him and
Speaker 10: all this sort of stuff, and they want to wow,
Speaker 10: you have the Trump skin, and that's why they want
Speaker 10: to allow it. And ABC is a wrong network to
Speaker 10: have them, definitely. I can.
Speaker 1: Well was moving around get it to get it to
Speaker 1: a bunch of different networks. I'm gonna try to get
Speaker 1: one more in here before I got a break for
Speaker 1: the news. Michael.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, I do want to try you again though
Speaker 9: the undisclosed taxes though, I know you ever heard too
Speaker 9: much about it, but I'll call you back again about it.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 1: About the undisclosed what tax they want to corporate tax
Speaker 1: on your for all one and your home taxes? Now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get We'll get to that once she starts to
Speaker 1: talk about it. Okay, I haven't heard her talk about
Speaker 1: it yet. Let's find out about it. That's why I want.
Speaker 1: Sunlight is the greatest disinfect and I agree with the
Speaker 1: state auditor who had who we had on earlier tonight. Mike,
Speaker 1: I want to get one more in here before the break.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you later. Okay, thank you much, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. Let me get Bill and Middleton. Bill,
Speaker 1: You've waited a while, so I'm gonna get you in
Speaker 1: here before.
Speaker 3: The break, Go right ahead, Bill, Okay, Yeah, No. I
Speaker 3: just I think this should be at least two more debates.
Speaker 3: Are two debates between Trump and Harris and the vice
Speaker 3: presidents as well. But I also think that Trump serves
Speaker 3: him best when he keeps his mouth kind of closed,
Speaker 3: you know, I mean for right now, Okay, Like I mean,
Speaker 3: they really hurt him. I think at the Chicago UH
Speaker 3: debate when UH or the conference whatever it was, when
Speaker 3: he talked about the black jobs and UH, you could
Speaker 3: hear a sigh in the.
Speaker 1: Audience Journalist Association yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So he just he just needs to stay away
Speaker 3: from the character. You know, character, don't go after character,
Speaker 3: don't go after you know, and is she black? Talk
Speaker 3: about issues and you know, the economy and in the
Speaker 3: border or two of the biggest issues right now. And
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of like misconception two about
Speaker 3: you know, I have like a one of my closest
Speaker 3: friends with my brother in law. He's a he's a
Speaker 3: gay man, he's a successful guy, but he says consciously
Speaker 3: he can't vote for Trump. And it's not that Trump
Speaker 3: is anti any of that, it's it's the anti rhetoric,
Speaker 3: you know, I think with like the pushing of like
Speaker 3: what happened in the Olympics and just whatever, all that
Speaker 3: stuff combined. But I think Trump serves him best. Stick
Speaker 3: to the point, stick to the to the topics. And
Speaker 3: I don't think Obama can write enough ghostwriting for Harris
Speaker 3: at this point. Behind the scenes, he's going to have
Speaker 3: to hurry up and make up some for some lost
Speaker 3: ground because she has no idea what she's doing. And
Speaker 3: that's you know. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: I wish there was more candidates, there was more people involved.
Speaker 3: But you should be very nervous that Putin and John
Speaker 3: Ound are shaking hands. And if you don't like Trump
Speaker 3: as a person, you have to at least understand that
Speaker 3: he commands the rum And if there's something serious going on,
Speaker 3: you don't want her on a you know, you just
Speaker 3: don't want her on a conference.
Speaker 1: Call with thelex that four years while Donald Trump was president,
Speaker 1: Putin stayed in his.
Speaker 3: Nil.
Speaker 1: I got you in, but I got to run here
Speaker 1: because I'm Robbers yelling in my ear. Thanks Bill, I
Speaker 1: got you in, all right, all right, we'll keep this up.
Speaker 1: The only line open is six one seven, nine, three,
Speaker 1: one ten thirty field free six one, seven, nine, three,
Speaker 1: ten thirty. How many debates should former President Trump and
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris have? I say I'd like to see five,
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that we'll get three back on Night's
Speaker 1: Out after this
