WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.160 It's nice eyes, Dan Ray. 2 00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:07.679 I'm going Mazy Boston's News radio as. 3 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.560 We continue into the eleven o'clock hour tonight. My name 4 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.039 is Dan Ray. It's a Monday night. It is the 5 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.679 twenty sixth of August, and we're just a week away 6 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:20.559 from Labor Day. Sadly because I hate to see the 7 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.239 summer go, but we have a full week of nightside 8 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.000 coming up, and I hope you'll stay with us all 9 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.039 week long, from eight until midnight. We're going to continue 10 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.759 with our phone calls. Let me go next to We're 11 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.159 talking essentially just for those of you who just joined us. 12 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.799 How many times should Donald Trump and Kamala Harris debate 13 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.880 this fall? And when I say this fall, I mean 14 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.679 this election season. We have seventy four days, I believe 15 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.280 is the number that is left between now and November fifth. 16 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.799 There is some question now whether or not the debate 17 00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:01.880 scheduled for September tenth will or will not happen. We 18 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.000 played some sound from Donald Trump today and which seemed 19 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.959 to call into question whether or not it was going 20 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:12.000 to happen. Look, we need to hear from both these candidates. 21 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.239 We need to see them both side by side on 22 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.959 the debate stage. I'd like to see five debates between 23 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.319 now and November fifth. I guess that'd settle for three, 24 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.200 but I want to make sure that there is an 25 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.799 exchange of ideas and they both have a chance to 26 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.400 go back and forth. So having said that, I want 27 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.040 to hear from you. Jim is in Kansas City, Jim 28 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.799 U And next on Nightside, Garadheadshop. 29 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:37.879 Hi, Dan, thanks for taking my call, Welco. 30 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.719 Appreciate your waiting through the news. I tried to get 31 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.200 you on earlier, but where you're on now, Gorudhead Jim. 32 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.159 Sure, I'll be brief to answer your question directly. 33 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.560 Three and I think three should. 34 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:56.400 Be a minimum standard for presidential campaign debate schedule. And 35 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.439 when I say standard, I would like to see them 36 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.159 be a lot more standard eyes in terms of like 37 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.760 just to use the same format that they use at 38 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.000 Yale or Stanford or Harvard. In other words, we have 39 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.439 rebuttal and and I would like to see there be 40 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.360 each one of them be a general subject, like one 41 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.280 of them beyond the economy, the other one beyond foreign affairs, 42 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.360 and then may you have a third one beyond you know, 43 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.919 legislative affairs. But it's so that we get a more 44 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.919 in depth picture. But the drawback to having your your 45 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.159 potential president up there in front of the whole world 46 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.080 is that people can see how they think, and that 47 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.039 can be bad if you have other people trying to 48 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.039 figure them out. That's all I got to say, thanks 49 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.719 for listening by. 50 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.000 All right, Thanks Jim. That was quickly to the point. 51 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.840 I love that call. Six one, seven, eight, nine thirty 52 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.719 only line open right now. Let me go to Peyton West, Rochester, 53 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.000 pet welcome next on Nightsiger right ahead. 54 00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:58.159 I can. 55 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.039 I believe they should have at least minimum of free 56 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:08.400 debates and term limits, but that's not for the president 57 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.400 of the Senate and Congress people. Well there are. 58 00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.800 Moments for the president. As you know, it's only to 59 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:15.520 only two for your terms. 60 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.639 But yeah, I'm aware of that. But I just want 61 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:24.400 to say that people better wake up and realize that 62 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.199 you are ushering in communism Marxism with this woman. And 63 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.879 a perfect example is when they forced the vaccinations or 64 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.280 your job was at stake, and that was under the 65 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.319 Biden Harris administration. People lost their careers aver that, but 66 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.080 was also in Massachusetts. 67 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.080 To be fair, it was also onto Chollie Baker's administration. 68 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:52.360 There were several state police officers and others in the 69 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.479 public in state employment who lost their jobs because they 70 00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.080 refused to. 71 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.360 Well, that's a bad road to be going down. That's 72 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.960 one of the one of the issues there. And as 73 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.680 well as is she going to be hiding like he 74 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:09.759 did in the basement for. 75 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:11.719 The rest of the way. 76 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.599 She never was voted for by the people, and now 77 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.000 she's going to avoid debating Trump. 78 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.399 Well again, I guess I don't know who, you know, 79 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.000 who's evading whom at this because sometimes what happens is 80 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.920 that someone could say, well, you know, I disagree with 81 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.519 these rules of engagement, and I want X, Y and 82 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.319 Z as opposed to A, B and C. I'm willing 83 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.000 to debate, but I want the debate rules to be changed. 84 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:42.519 It's a way to avoid it. 85 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.279 But no, I think it's coming from their side more 86 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.800 than Trump's side, my opinion, Let's let's. 87 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.480 Flush it out. I mean, I want them both on 88 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.439 stage together, and I want whatever the rules are, I 89 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.959 want them to be fair, and I want the moderators 90 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.839 to treat them fairly. I want tough questions asked of 91 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.279 both of them. I don't want any softball questions whomever 92 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.160 it is. I want, uh, you know, there's a way 93 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.000 to do this. Fair questions, but tough questions. 94 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.600 Well, I hope the liberal white women can put aside 95 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.560 that Trump is not, you know, with his comments and everything, 96 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.199 and realize that the stake of the country's at steak 97 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:22.879 in my opinion. 98 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.759 Well, I mean, first of all, right, right, but what 99 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.839 I'm saying, what I'm trying to say is that I 100 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.600 don't think it's like communism. Dan Well, first of first 101 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:39.120 of all, there's a huge step. There's a huge step. 102 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.800 You've used the term twice. There's a huge step to 103 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.680 communism number one, and then you've also thrown out liberal 104 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.959 white women. I don't think that that's helpful. I think 105 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.959 it's people. I don't care what color you are, I 106 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:53.759 don't care what gender you are. You got to look 107 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.680 at these candidates and say which one is best for me, 108 00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.079 which one is best for my family, and which one 109 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.600 is best for the country. You think that she's a 110 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.720 communist because she's her father was a Marxist. I don't 111 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.360 think she's a communist. Do I think she's probably the 112 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.959 most liberal presidential candidate that this country has ever had? Yes, Yes, 113 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.319 I do. Yes, I do. She's very liberal, but she's 114 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.959 also changing her policies, which is troubling because if you 115 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.439 have staked out positions, you know, A to Z, and 116 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.439 all of a sudden, you're going to reverse yourself on 117 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.079 twenty of those positions, I don't know if I can 118 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:31.439 trust you at that point. 119 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.120 Okay, well she was in charge of the border. How 120 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:34.680 did that go? 121 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:36.839 I don't think it went to water? 122 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.879 And now she's denying that she was. I mean, I 123 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:40.800 could go on and on. 124 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.920 I know you could, and I'm I'm just trying to 125 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.600 simplify it for you and say, I want to know 126 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.839 what their positions are. I want to know what her 127 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.279 positions were, and if she's changed from some positions. People 128 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.920 have a right to change some positions. I want to 129 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.160 know why you can't be opposed to fracking, and now 130 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.360 when you're in Pennsylvania campaigning in favor of fracking, maybe 131 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.879 she has an explanation for it. Let's hear it. 132 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.480 If positions are destroying the country is. 133 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.360 I don't think any candidate broad and says please vote 134 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.160 for me because I want to destroy the country. I 135 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.480 think that's a silly argument, Pete. If I can say so, 136 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:16.800 I think that's. 137 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:19.319 There for four years. 138 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.519 Ken, Look what they're doing in the country. I mean, 139 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.680 come on, how can you even defend hers beyond belief. 140 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:31.399 I'm not defending anyone. I'm simply pointing out the inconsistencies 141 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.720 of your statements when you basically say that that she 142 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.000 wants to destroy the country. She may want to change 143 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.839 the country, but she wants to change it in a 144 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.319 way that she she views it as being more equitable 145 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.360 or whatever phrase she has. I don't think that she 146 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.800 intentionally says I want to turn this into a Marxist country. 147 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.000 That's an extreme position, and I think you'll lose credibility 148 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.439 on that position in my opinion. 149 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:01.480 Well that's my opinion and a lot of other point all. 150 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.480 Right, Fred, If you're always welcome to express that opinion here, 151 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.439 you're always welcome to dress that opinion, but be prepared 152 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.079 to be challenged. That's all okay. 153 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.160 Well let's let's let's see how the country goes. If 154 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.199 she gets elected, good luck. 155 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.360 If you feel that strongly, you should work in whatever 156 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.199 way you can to to make sure she doesn't get elected. 157 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.959 Pete, that's well, that's why I made the phone call tonight. 158 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.240 Again, I'm glad you made the phone call. But I'm saying, 159 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.680 when your characterizations become so what I would consider to 160 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.080 be over the top, I'm going to challenge him. Okay. 161 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.240 It'd be like when when someone says Donald Trump is 162 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.360 going to cut so Security Medicare, there's no candidate in 163 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.480 their right mind. And Donald Trump has said he's not 164 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.840 gonna cut so Security Medicare. That's his position. I'm not 165 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.480 going to let someone call up and not challenge them 166 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.399 on that. I mean, that's my job is to. 167 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:53.080 Challenge how do you feel about the mandatory vaccination that 168 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.720 costs people their careers. 169 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.639 If you've listened to my show over the years, you 170 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.320 know that I've had some of the state police officers on, 171 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:06.279 including one state police officer whose first name is Samantha, 172 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.759 or female state police officer whose dad was killed in 173 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.159 the line of duty and she lost her job because 174 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.840 Charlie Baker wanted all the state police officers to have vaccinations. 175 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:23.080 I feel strongly, strongly, Okay, I'm somebody who did get 176 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.440 my vaccinations because I felt it was in my best 177 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.000 interest based upon my own medical history and my age, 178 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.840 primarily my age. I'm on the wrong side of fifty 179 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.759 but I defended her right. She's a young woman. She 180 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.200 had no idea what that vaccination was going to impact 181 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.080 her in terms of raising a family or even having 182 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.200 a family. So I felt that was way over the 183 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.519 top by Charlie Baker, and I said it many many nights. 184 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:49.519 I wish you had heard me. 185 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.600 You would know what well the Biden Harris administration made 186 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.960 up mandatory as well. I mean, you keep pointing a 187 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.799 bank of which I agree he was wrong with it too. 188 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.039 It's total government overreach. 189 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.120 The four I think I've also I also talked about members. 190 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.960 I also talked Pete about members of the US military 191 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.960 who who lost their careers. Now many of them have 192 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:13.639 been invited back. 193 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.519 To going back, not under this administration. They'll never know 194 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:23.000 be in their right mind would die for this administration. Well, 195 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.279 thirteen people died, fourteen. 196 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:30.799 People died three years ago today in Kapoola, Afghanistan in 197 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.480 what was a disaster. 198 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.720 Anybody that's throwing in the military now and signing up 199 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.200 to go die for these wars that they create a right. 200 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.080 Fair enough, I've given you seven minutes. I'm glad you called, 201 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.720 but again you're just you're going from topic to topic 202 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.639 on me. And that's not fair. I want people to 203 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.879 know what my position is on topics and I want 204 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.440 I don't want to have them misrepresented. And I also 205 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.799 promise you that if you call back again and you 206 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.919 take extreme positions, were going to challenge you. Simple is that. Thanks, 207 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.919 you have a great one. We'll take a break. Coming 208 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.879 right back on night Side. 209 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.960 Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World 210 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.240 to night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio. 211 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.799 For some reason, I feel I'm in a boxing match 212 00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.320 tonight and I'm the referee, but I'm getting it from 213 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.399 both sides. Let me go to Dave, my friend Dave 214 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:21.399 and San Antonio. Dave, how are you? 215 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.600 Yes?

I'm sure you do. But again, 221 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:35.799 I want to hear what you have to say, and 222 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.480 if I disagree with you, we will have a conversation. 223 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.919 If I agree, I'm gonna let you get do. 224 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.879 I have a friend in Mile, Michigan that was one 225 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.320 of those Whole Watchers and uh she applied for at 226 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.519 this time that she wasn't even qualified to apply. They 227 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:02.120 sit even though she was, you know, watch it handling 228 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.960 the election. You know she's she was a pole watcher 229 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:12.080 in my offer many elections. Now she's not qualified to apply. 230 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:17.120 Seven hundred of them were qualified to apply and seventy 231 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:23.279 were taken. There are twenty seven hundred Democratic poor watchers. 232 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.960 So right now you have a condition of seventy pole 233 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:31.080 watchers that are a Republican at twenty seven hundred Democratic 234 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:36.159 pole watchers. You tell me Michigan's not a Democratic state. 235 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:37.600 Damn. 236 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.559 Now that was funny, Dave, It's funny. I have not 237 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.720 seen that story anywhere. If you could send me information 238 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:47.720 on that story. 239 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.200 Fox News, Laura Trump, he's right there on yeah, on deal. 240 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.759 Just send me something on it. I'm not going to 241 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.000 go research it and spend my day tomorrow trying to research. 242 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.519 I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about my viewers, 243 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.639 with the listeners believe in me, because I know. 244 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.080 You have a lot of credibility with my listeners. When 245 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:13.080 you tell me something and you're gonna, you're gonna Fox News. 246 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:22.360 Fox News, lowerd Trump and interview with Maria Maria. Maria. 247 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.320 She's a conservative commentator. 248 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.320 Whoa you've already tell you research. You don't even know 249 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.440 who she she talked to. 250 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.559 It's Maria. I told you I forgive her. 251 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.720 Does he have a lot of does he have a 252 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:36.200 lot of job? 253 00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:40.159 And hey, I'm eighty years old, I'm allowsy with dates. 254 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:45.600 Yeah, but you're certain that they that they that the 255 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.320 Democrats are going to have twenty seven hundred poll watchers 256 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.039 and there'll only be seventy Republican pole watchers. 257 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:52.879 That's right? 258 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.360 How many? How many polling places do they haven't? 259 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.279 Donald Trump? Donald Trump is in court right now suing 260 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:00.240 them because of it. 261 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.960 Okay, Well, interesting when I when I read about that 262 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.320 in in you know, something out of Michigan to Detroit 263 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.480 News or something like that. 264 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:17.240 It's not an isolation that that exists throughout liberal America, 265 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.159 all right, that exists throughout it and what they are 266 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.480 doing at least, and I'm surprised you're talking about a debate. 267 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.440 You know darn well that they're going to try and 268 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.000 put him in jail in September. And if there's going 269 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:30.799 to be any debates, it's going to be out in 270 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.559 prison with a secret service as a moderator. 271 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.200 Will Dave do me a favorite? I don't want you 272 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:38.039 to have a heart attack. But if they put if 273 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:42.159 Donald Trump is sentenced to jail, it would be the 274 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:45.919 biggest mistake a judge ever made in the history of 275 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.600 this country. 276 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.000 Because he's just louble to make that mistake, Dad, because 277 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:53.600 he's just as Dutch as Joe Biden. 278 00:14:53.879 --> 00:15:01.279 Thanks Dave. Always enjoyed the conversation. Thank you. Wo all right, Rob, 279 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.000 look out the window, full moon or not? I need 280 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.919 to know as quickly as possible. Okay, I don't care. 281 00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.759 I mean, you know. Look, it is one thing to 282 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:15.279 traffic in some form of conspiracy theories, which is fine 283 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.919 if you want to do that. It's another thing to 284 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.799 have some credible source. Now I'm not saying that Fox 285 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:28.159 News is not credible. Sometimes it is credible. Not all 286 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.360 the time, but sometimes it's credible. And if there is 287 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.919 a legitimate story, remember, as Dave staked out that there's 288 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:40.200 going to be twenty seven hundred Democratic poll watchers versus 289 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:44.600 seven hundred Republican pole watchers. That would be about a 290 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.639 five to one ratio. If I'm not mistaken, No, that 291 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:50.720 would be a four to one ratio. Let me not 292 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.159 overstate it. That would be such an abuse of power. 293 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.919 That would be a screaming story everywhere. If true, if true, 294 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:02.000 isn't full moon? No full moon? I don't know, man, 295 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.720 Maybe something's maybe the stars are in alignment. Where are 296 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.840 we going next? Let me go next too? I got 297 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.240 Stephen Bridgewater, Steve, bring me back to reality? How are you, Steve? 298 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:12.919 Dan? 299 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:13.440 I don't know. 300 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.320 I don't see a moon up there tonight, so maybe 301 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:16.120 it's not a full moon. 302 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:16.559 I don't know. 303 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.679 I'm outside now, I'm looking up, so I don't know. 304 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.320 Well, maybe it's cloudy. I don't know. Rob says it's 305 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:24.279 not a full moon. So you go right ahead. 306 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.120 Yeah, Dan, you said, uh, you'd like to have five debates. 307 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.559 I agree. If many debates is Trump has it works 308 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.440 in his favor. If he had enough debates to really 309 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.799 get Kamala to speak and let people know what she's 310 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.120 all about, I think people would start to say, oh 311 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.000 my god, it is this what we're going to send 312 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.159 to Washington to be our commander in chief. 313 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.039 And if they don't, I'm. 314 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.240 Not sure that the Harris campaign would be anxious to 315 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.759 do five debates. But I think that if you know's 316 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.559 not she's she's kind of like, uh, a clean slate. 317 00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.880 I mean, most people they know she was vice president, 318 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.240 but they probably don't know much about her history. I mean, 319 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.279 we saw the number of people who watched the Democratic convention. 320 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:18.279 Obviously they probably were fans already, but I think the Yeah, 321 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:21.759 there's only about twenty million people who watched the conventions 322 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:25.039 of both the Republicans and the Democrats, and probably there's 323 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.039 some corossover, some people watch both. But we're going to 324 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.079 have about one hundred and seventy million people voting. So 325 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.240 I'm more worried about the one hundred and thirty million 326 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:39.440 people who watched neither convention. I want them to know 327 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.240 what they're voting for. That's not I think, you know, 328 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.680 to you know, to outrage us. 329 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.359 Dan Dan quick question. Yeah, since Kennedy, Kennedy and Nixon 330 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:55.920 had the debates, isn't that when they first started having 331 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.960 the whole concept. Haven't they always been at least three 332 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.519 debates before the elect I. 333 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.839 Don't think so. I don't think so because I don't 334 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:11.640 think that Nixon debated McGovern. I know that Reagan debated Mondale. 335 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.640 I know that Clinton debated Dole his second term presidents. 336 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:19.240 Not that Harris is a second term president, obviously, but 337 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:23.240 she's the incumbent. I think that there was a period 338 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.880 of time when the debates were kind of made by 339 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.359 different you know, some media outlet would offer one and 340 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:32.799 then the League of Women Voters kind of there was 341 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.119 a Commission on Presidential Debates. I need to figure out, 342 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.000 maybe during this next break, if the Commission on Presidential 343 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.440 Debates is still active or if they have been expanded. 344 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:50.000 But look, we've had one on CNN. There's one schedule 345 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.519 in September tenth on ABC. By the way, I don't 346 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.440 think that Donald Trump helped himself in the debates with 347 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.839 Joe Biden. I think that he was out of control, 348 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.480 he was undisciplined. Think those debates hurt him. 349 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.440 I think that athough, that one Dan doesn't count anymore 350 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.000 since Biden is out, you. 351 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:08.519 Know what I mean? 352 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.319 No, no, no, no, no no, But he still has 353 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:18.200 to zero again. What don't you think? In other words, 354 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.279 since there's a new, a new the election, it's different 355 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.880 now it's between Biden and Harris. So they're starting at 356 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.759 square at zero again. 357 00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:28.319 Right. 358 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.599 But what I'm saying is all the more reason if 359 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:36.119 if Trump can and control himself and appears overly aggressive 360 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:41.839 against a female candidate, that's not going to help him. 361 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.240 So he has to go into that today disciplined and 362 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.519 talk about issues and find and find points were of 363 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.079 differences and deal with it that yeh as opposed to 364 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.920 making stupid comments like she's not qualified or I'm better 365 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:57.480 looking than she. 366 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:01.759 That doesn't help him, doesn't help him, so she's oh, 367 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.240 she's stupid, that's it. That's not a good thing for 368 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:04.759 him to say. 369 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.759 Of course, of course not. That's what's called an anonamum attack. 370 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:10.039 And guess what, that just doesn't run with these days. 371 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.440 In my opinion, I. 372 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:13.400 Just want to add one more thing, go ahead, one 373 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:15.680 more thing, because I know you got other callers you 374 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.200 mentioned last week and that in this I can agree 375 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.240 with you one thousand percent. He's a flawed candidate and 376 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.160 I think, I mean, the election's out over yet there 377 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.880 could be a lot of quiet Trump supporters that could 378 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.359 come out of the woodworks and push them over. I 379 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.759 don't know, but right now as it is, right now, 380 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.519 I think the Republicans would have a better chance of 381 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.759 winning back to White House if the Republican nominee was 382 00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:43.880 anybody but Trump. You agree, I do. It wasn't Trump, 383 00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.119 now it would? I do think we have a better chance. 384 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.119 I do think a lot of people have made up 385 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.720 their mind of Donald Trump, and I think that the 386 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.640 vote for Joe Biden was much more of an anti 387 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.920 Trump vote. I don't think there were many people who 388 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:58.279 were thrilled or excited about Joe Biden, but they saw 389 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.000 him as an alternative to Donald Trump. 390 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.079 Now the question, yeah, I was hoping he wouldn't drop out. Yeah, 391 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.200 I was hoping Biden wouldn't drop out because I knew 392 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.359 once he got out, it would hurt Trump big time. 393 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.599 Well, the other thing is that if if Donald Trump 394 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.559 had really been smart, and when they say smart, I 395 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.839 mean strategic, he would have buried the hatchet with Niki 396 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.079 Haley and he would have invited Nicki Haley to have 397 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:28.440 been his running mate. In my opinion, yeah, I think 398 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:32.079 that that would have have helped him a lot with 399 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.279 the so called, you know, suburban voters who would see 400 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:35.680 in Nicki. 401 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:36.920
