Speaker 1: It's nice Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2: We're talking about President Joe Biden's invitation today to Donald
Speaker 2: Trump UH to come to the White House. I thought
Speaker 2: it was an appropriate gesture, a good gesture by the president.
Speaker 2: Not everybody agrees with me, as you can tell, but
Speaker 2: that's okay. Let me let me just grab one more
Speaker 2: SoundBite to give you a sense of what he had
Speaker 2: to say. Now, he he, of course, besides being gracious,
Speaker 2: he would well, yeah, take this one, rob, this is
Speaker 2: a this is These are two pretty good ones. Let's
Speaker 2: go to cut twenty three and then cut twenty four,
Speaker 2: playing back to back.
Speaker 3: Also, hope we can later rest the question about the
Speaker 3: integrity of the American electoral system. It is honest, it
Speaker 3: is fair and transparent, and it can be trusted win
Speaker 3: or lose. As they did their duty as citizens. I
Speaker 3: will do my duty as president. I'll fulfill my oath
Speaker 3: and I wanted the Constitution. On January twentieth, we'll have
Speaker 3: a peaceful transfer of power here in America.
Speaker 2: And I think that's good news for everyone. Okay, I
Speaker 2: think it's good news for the country. After all of this.
Speaker 2: It was a nasty campaign, Okay, there was nastiness on
Speaker 2: both sides. But maybe maybe we're all tired of it,
Speaker 2: and maybe President Biden should be commended today. He could
Speaker 2: have set it out, he could have said, you know, look,
Speaker 2: let them let him talk to my people. He did
Speaker 2: the right thing today. Why is it so tough. I'm
Speaker 2: not a fan of Joe Biden. I think if you
Speaker 2: listen to this program, you know that. But as you
Speaker 2: can see, I'm in the minority right now, which is okay.
Speaker 2: Let's keep going. Going to go to Warren down in
Speaker 2: Fall River. See what what Warren has to say for us. Warren,
Speaker 2: welcome back to Night Side. Nice to have you with us.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the president's decision to welcome Donald Trump
Speaker 2: to the White House?
Speaker 4: Hey, Dan, Yeah, it was a nice gesture, but there's
Speaker 4: been so much crossfire between the two parties that it's
Speaker 4: you know, you know, everyone's still upset at the other side.
Speaker 2: So no question about that. But someone's going to take
Speaker 2: the first step.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean yeah, I mean someone. I mean
Speaker 4: someone has to step up and you know, do you know,
Speaker 4: do the first act, and then someone has to do
Speaker 4: a second act and a third act and someone and
Speaker 4: so forth. But these two parties are too diametrically opposed
Speaker 4: from each other. And it's and when you've.
Speaker 2: Always been diametrically opposed. The Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan
Speaker 2: were diametrically opposed. Tip O'Neil was a you know, a Cambridge, Massachusetts,
Speaker 2: Boston based New England guy, Boston College. Ronald Reagan was
Speaker 2: Midwest born in Dixon, Illinois, was a sportscaster in Iowa,
Speaker 2: movie actor in Hollywood, governor of California, once a conservative
Speaker 2: Republican the other they were all but that enmity. Didn't
Speaker 2: they got along? Okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But I think I think with the with the social
Speaker 4: media and you know, the internet, every you know, where
Speaker 4: news travels in a in a millisecond, that it gets
Speaker 4: much tougher. Whereas you know, back you know, back in
Speaker 4: the day, back in the eighties, you know, and you know,
Speaker 4: we had you know, we had ABC, NBC and BS
Speaker 4: de lean on for for our news. Now we now
Speaker 4: we have podcasts, now, we have Yeah, we have everyone
Speaker 4: saying their opinion.
Speaker 2: I under say that, and and I'm I'm critical of
Speaker 2: the network newscasts. I thought they were quite unfair doing
Speaker 2: this during this election. Their their editorial opinions look at
Speaker 2: the Boston Globe today. Go look at the Boston Globe.
Speaker 2: The comments that were there, the letters to the editor. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like there's that. If you read the Boston Globe, you
Speaker 2: would assume that no one in Massachusetts voted for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: There were over a million people in Massachusetts. The Globe
Speaker 2: did do some some news stories which said that, uh,
Speaker 2: that Trump showed more strength this year than than he
Speaker 2: had in in twenty twenty or he had in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I'm just it's going to take
Speaker 2: a while.
Speaker 4: It's going to take it. Yeah, it's going to be
Speaker 4: a long process. I mean unfortunately. I mean I hope
Speaker 4: that I'm wrong, but I think it's going to take
Speaker 4: another nine to eleven type event just to bring this
Speaker 4: country back together. And I hope and pray that I
Speaker 4: am wrong. But like on nine to twelve, we were unified,
Speaker 4: the country was more unified than ever and we you know,
Speaker 4: we just drifted off to different areas of the world
Speaker 4: after that. So and again, well again, I think I.
Speaker 2: Think you made I think you made a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: I'm just willing to say that today, Joe Biden, did.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, it was it was.
Speaker 6: It's a good start.
Speaker 4: But but then again, when you get the Hatfields and
Speaker 4: McCoy to hate each other, they're going to hate each
Speaker 4: other forever.
Speaker 2: So okay, fair enough for enough. But again, thanks thanks
Speaker 2: for calling. It's always war. I appreciate your perspective.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you. I'll talk to you.
Speaker 2: I have a great one. Good night. Okay, let's see,
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk to you soon. Take a very quick break.
Speaker 2: We get this is a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: The only line that's open at six point seven.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Way live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nights Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: So this is Jake Tapper on Election Night. Now again,
Speaker 2: I think Jake Tapper is he's he's not an unbiased
Speaker 2: his bias does show, but I triggy when he says
Speaker 2: he's shocked, they think he's truly shocked. Cut twenty Rob, Are.
Speaker 7: There any price that said the vice president is overperforming
Speaker 7: Joe Biden in twenty twenty, So we can show you
Speaker 7: that as well.
Speaker 2: We just bring that out here.
Speaker 8: Harris overperforming twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Only smokes there you go.
Speaker 6: So let this go away and see if there's anything
Speaker 6: in the east Side.
Speaker 8: There literally nothing, literally nothing, literally not one county by
Speaker 8: three percent or more.
Speaker 2: This Jake Tapper talking to John King at ABC and
Speaker 2: showing that the job that Kamala Harris couldn't outperform Joe Biden. Uh.
Speaker 2: And then you have Jim Clyburn, who's a Democratic congressman
Speaker 2: from South Carolina. Uh, he's on serious XM radio here,
Speaker 2: and he talked about African Americans in his district. He
Speaker 2: at least he acknowledged this. He's he doesn't deny reality.
Speaker 2: This is cut eighteen. Rob.
Speaker 9: I saw this coming uh several days ago. Uh when
Speaker 9: I began to getting the phone calls, Uh that there
Speaker 9: was something unusual taking place at early voting in the
Speaker 9: rural possible district. They were half an Americans coming in
Speaker 9: to the poland boot uh asking for assistance. Uh, just
Speaker 9: with a ticket that wanted to vote for Democrats at
Speaker 9: the local level after Trump.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 9: This very unusual place.
Speaker 2: So Donald Trump attracted black votes. Okay. Now, on the
Speaker 2: other hand, Clyburn, who happens to be black, is a
Speaker 2: is a politician, and he recognized reality, acknowledges reality. You
Speaker 2: got Joe Scarborough, who is soft. I mean, I have
Speaker 2: no idea. What this guy's problem was. I guess at
Speaker 2: one point he was a friend of Trump. Now he's not.
Speaker 2: He wants to call Latinos and blacks misogynist and racists
Speaker 2: because they didn't vote for Kamala Harris. Compare what Jim Clyburn,
Speaker 2: a Democratic congressman, said, which was rational, to this irrationality
Speaker 2: from Joe Scarborough and cut eleven rob.
Speaker 1: I just say, I read really quickly too.
Speaker 7: Democrats need to even sure, and they need to be honest,
Speaker 7: and they need to say, yes, there is there's misogyny.
Speaker 7: But it's not just misogyny from white men. It's misogyny
Speaker 7: from Hispanic men, it's misogyny from black men. Things we've
Speaker 7: all been talking about who do not want a woman
Speaker 7: leading them might be race issues with Hispanics. They don't
Speaker 7: want a black woman as president. And I say, you know,
Speaker 7: the Democratic Party, I've always found when you're sitting around talking,
Speaker 7: they love to just sort of balkanize everybody into these
Speaker 7: separate groups and say, oh, white people don't like women
Speaker 7: and black people. No, it is time for the Democrats
Speaker 7: to say okay, And you and I have talked about
Speaker 7: this before a lot of Hispanic voters have problems with
Speaker 7: black candidates.
Speaker 10: A lot of.
Speaker 1: Don't like each other.
Speaker 2: He's talking to Al Sharpton. There's a guy who who
Speaker 2: certainly you want to respect this Al Sharpton. I mean,
Speaker 2: they have basically got into a literally into a garbage
Speaker 2: truck to roll around with these people. So if you're
Speaker 2: if you vote against a female, what have all the
Speaker 2: women who voted for Donald Trump? Are they misogynistic or
Speaker 2: are they misogynistic and racist? What about black women who
Speaker 2: voted for Donald Trump? Are they misogynistic and racist? I'm
Speaker 2: sure Al Sharpton thinks. So this is nuts. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Alex in Stowton. Alex next on Nightside. How are you.
Speaker 5: I'm doing well, and I really just wanted to talk about,
Speaker 5: you know, human rights. I know I called a few
Speaker 5: days ago, and human rights is always my number one thing,
Speaker 5: you know, I think specifically Democrats and Republicans all of
Speaker 5: these issues, especially you know, say, immigration right is an
Speaker 5: issue that I think on face value, anyone in this
Speaker 5: country would say there is a big problem with how
Speaker 5: you know, how many immigrants we have coming into this country.
Speaker 5: But if it's presented in a way like say Donald
Speaker 5: Trump saying you know they're eating the cats and dogs.
Speaker 5: Right for saying they and calling a large group of
Speaker 5: people Haitians, saying that they are committing a moral wrong,
Speaker 5: then that's a racist belief. And unfortunately it's hard to
Speaker 5: separate the racism and the sexism and you know, all
Speaker 5: of these really huge negatives.
Speaker 2: I would say, would I would just say that I
Speaker 2: would characterize it as an insane belief in that I
Speaker 2: don't understand why. And I criticized if you listen to
Speaker 2: my show, I criticized Donald Trump from that night when
Speaker 2: he raised it during the debate with Vice President Harris.
Speaker 2: It was insane. There was no proof of it whatsoever.
Speaker 2: I mean, he might have been saying that there were
Speaker 2: he could have been saying that there are aliens who
Speaker 2: have landed in Springfield, Ohio, and they are eating cats
Speaker 2: and dogs. I mean, it was.
Speaker 5: Insane, absolutely, And like I said, it's hard to you know,
Speaker 5: if somebody is on one side or the other. Here
Speaker 5: on the left, you're hearing a lot of people on
Speaker 5: the right saying some things that are, you know, extremely racist,
Speaker 5: and it might not be outright racism, but it might
Speaker 5: be you know, dog whistling. Right. And then on the right,
Speaker 5: you have people who you know might not necessarily be
Speaker 5: themselves racist, but support the underlying policy. So if you're
Speaker 5: on the right and you say, you know what, yeah,
Speaker 5: we do need immigration reform, and then you listen to
Speaker 5: a lot of these politicians and you might say something
Speaker 5: that's a little bit off color in front of somebody
Speaker 5: who's on the left and on the left, well then
Speaker 5: they get upset because it's a you know, racist, it's
Speaker 5: you know, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: And so I think on the left, you something if
Speaker 2: you want to talk about racism in this country. Okay,
Speaker 2: there's racism on both sides. Okay. There are people who
Speaker 2: look at other people other people differently, okay, and it's
Speaker 2: sometimes it's it's a question if they don't know the
Speaker 2: other the other person, or they have some suspicions or whatever.
Speaker 2: But I think when you start throwing labels, and I'm
Speaker 2: not accusing you of this, but when you start throwing
Speaker 2: labels around, whether from the Democrats you're calling Donald Trump hitler,
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how much woe where you
Speaker 2: can go to call someone hitler.
Speaker 5: I think just a little bit of listening and understanding
Speaker 5: from both sides, where you know, if somebody says something
Speaker 5: that you know like that. It can be on the
Speaker 5: left or the right, it can be from any one
Speaker 5: of any lot in life. It doesn't matter who you are.
Speaker 5: But if you say something that's you know, racist or
Speaker 5: sexist and called out, there needs to be a little
Speaker 5: bit on the other side of understanding of hey, maybe
Speaker 5: that is racist or sexist. But I think there's been
Speaker 5: a lot of name calling both ways, and so everyone
Speaker 5: sort of setting there, well, no, you're dumb, No, you're dumb,
Speaker 5: instead of listening and saying well, no.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is when you start, when you start invoking. Look,
Speaker 2: there was a guy in this you're you're much too
Speaker 2: young to remember, but there was a guy from Wisconsin
Speaker 2: in the nineteen fifties. His name was Joe McCarthy. Okay,
Speaker 2: he was a senator. He was a Republican senator, and
Speaker 2: he led well at that time, was called the Red Scare, uh,
Speaker 2: And he would accuse people who were working in Hollywood
Speaker 2: of being communists. And they the left often now turns
Speaker 2: around and uses that same tactic and and calls conservatives racists,
Speaker 2: okay because they are not in favor of open borders,
Speaker 2: because then they're they're they're opposed to brown people coming in,
Speaker 2: and you know they make that argument. Look, when you
Speaker 2: start calling someone a name, it's like if if I say, Alex,
Speaker 2: there used to be a strip joint in Stoughton which
Speaker 2: was named Alex. Did you know that?
Speaker 5: By the way, Oh I drove by it all the time?
Speaker 2: The okay, okay, cool. So So if I said, well, Alex,
Speaker 2: I assume because you're named Alex and you come from Stoughton,
Speaker 2: you must be some sort of a weirdo that's going
Speaker 2: in and and and and and subjecting these poor women
Speaker 2: to humility, to humiliation. I mean, it's like, how do
Speaker 2: you say, how do you disprove that? All I'm just
Speaker 2: saying is that there's too much of this going back
Speaker 2: and forth and people need to as they say, even tonight,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say, look, Joe Biden did the right
Speaker 2: thing today. Okay, you don't have to like Joe Biden
Speaker 2: to acknowledge that exactly.
Speaker 5: Both candidates on both sides do good things, you know,
Speaker 5: and I think just listening to both and saying hey,
Speaker 5: this is a good thing, this is a bad thing,
Speaker 5: and you know, if you want to call out the
Speaker 5: bad thing, okay, but do that with kindness and understanding.
Speaker 5: I think we get a lot.
Speaker 2: And the other thing, too, is that more than fifty
Speaker 2: percent of the country have voted for Donald Trump to
Speaker 2: be president. To me, it's it's an amazing political reformation, renaissance,
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. I never thought and
Speaker 2: I've said it, so I've said it. I'm going to
Speaker 2: own it that I did not think he was capable
Speaker 2: of winning a one on one election after twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: But look, I was wrong on that. It's he's now
Speaker 2: the president elected. Guess what, he's the president of everybody
Speaker 2: in the country. You don't have to like him, but
Speaker 2: don't tell me that he's not your president anymore than
Speaker 2: people were telling me that Joe Biden wasn't their president.
Speaker 2: Wasn't their president anyway, Alex, I will let you run.
Speaker 10: Always the pleasure.
Speaker 2: It was nice to talk with you. Thank you much.
Speaker 2: Let's keep rolling here. We're gonna get who's up next?
Speaker 2: Terry down the cape. Terry, you were next on nightside.
Speaker 11: Welcome, Hi, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm okay, Terry? What's going on with you tonight?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 11: Dan, I did not win the tote bag. I want
Speaker 11: to get that right out of the way.
Speaker 2: Well we do. We still don't know who won the tote.
Speaker 11: Bag, so I'm sure I did not.
Speaker 2: Well you you said Harris would win. I know that
Speaker 2: we will announce the winner once Nevada and Arizona are called.
Speaker 2: But you know there'll be out there.
Speaker 11: Okay, I didn't win. I can take myself out of
Speaker 11: the mix. But honestly, I'm an independent, and I want
Speaker 11: you to understand that I vote for either side. I
Speaker 11: vote for the person, not so much the party. Okay,
Speaker 11: the system worked. Everybody that went out to vote. Congratulations,
Speaker 11: I am very happy all of you exercised your civic duty.
Speaker 11: The results are the results. Someone wins, someone loses. You
Speaker 11: may not get the person you want to win, but
Speaker 11: you will accept the fact that the people have voted
Speaker 11: the person they wanted. There are no court system involved here.
Speaker 11: There's no fraud. There's no reason for attneys to be
Speaker 11: lined up with the courts. The election happened, and this
Speaker 11: is the way every election should go. I am proud
Speaker 11: of the results. I wish the president elects all good
Speaker 11: health and success because we need that. Happy he's the winner,
Speaker 11: but that doesn't matter. The process works. I'm very proud
Speaker 11: of mister Biden today. She delivered a very tone, perfect civil,
Speaker 11: correct process of the transfer of power. This is how
Speaker 11: our country is supposed to work. You, regardless of how
Speaker 11: he personally feels, he is a leader and the President
Speaker 11: of the United States takes today it was his duty
Speaker 11: to do this and he did it well. He delivered
Speaker 11: it well, he was articulate, he chose the right tone,
Speaker 11: and I'm really happy about that.
Speaker 2: I share your point of view. This is this is
Speaker 2: a call that I've had a lot of criticisms tonight,
Speaker 2: which is fine. I can take the heat. But I
Speaker 2: also enjoyed your call tonight. I really did, because I
Speaker 2: think that you have reflected exactly how I feel about it.
Speaker 2: You know, and and I may be a baby step,
Speaker 2: but it's a step in the right direction.
Speaker 11: It is absolutely and we have to congratulate and we
Speaker 11: have to say thank you for taking that step, because
Speaker 11: one step reads the giant steps forward and that's where
Speaker 11: we need to go.
Speaker 2: Sounds great, Terry, I met my news break, so you
Speaker 2: couldn't have finished on on a more positive note. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for calling, and we will talk and
Speaker 2: maybe see each other soon.
Speaker 12: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 11: Day and have a good night you too.
Speaker 2: Terry, have a great one, ye Banks, Bye bye. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's keep rolling here. We have the news I got
Speaker 2: Gary Will frank Rick coming up only line open six, one, seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. We're gonna pick the pace up a little
Speaker 2: bit here. I want to hear from more and more
Speaker 2: people again. You can agree, you can disagree with me.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you only what I think. If I'm not
Speaker 2: authentic with you, there's no reason you should listen to me. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you how I feel. I may feel differently
Speaker 2: if Joe Biden does something that I disagree with, I
Speaker 2: will tell you that. But I thought today he did
Speaker 2: the right thing. And as Terry said, I thought he
Speaker 2: did it well. It probably wasn't an easy thing for
Speaker 2: him to do, but he did the right thing. We'll
Speaker 2: be back on Nightside right after the news at the
Speaker 2: bottom of the.
Speaker 1: Hour Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you, bes
Speaker 1: boss in this news radio.
Speaker 2: Okay, We're gonna go to Will on Long Island. Will welcome.
Speaker 2: How are you, sir?
Speaker 8: Well? You know how I'm doing. I'm doing fantastic. I
Speaker 8: bet you don't need Yeah, I don't need a therapy
Speaker 8: dog or a plato or I don't need any uh,
Speaker 8: you know, hoggin DAWs and and hide in my room
Speaker 8: and cry and put messages on Facebook that I need
Speaker 8: a hug.
Speaker 2: Okay, I hadn't seen anyone doing that this time. I
Speaker 2: know there was some people in it who were having
Speaker 2: a tough time, but.
Speaker 8: Go ahead doing it like crazy. But either way, because
Speaker 8: when the last election happened, and obviously you've heard me
Speaker 8: complain about that for the past four years. When the
Speaker 8: last election happened, I said to myself, my god, I
Speaker 8: can't believe how many crazy people I live around in
Speaker 8: this country that would vote for a guy that's obviously
Speaker 8: cognitively declined. And I just went to work the next day. Right,
Speaker 8: I wasn't gonna I was just gonna go do what
Speaker 8: I but I gotta.
Speaker 2: Be honest with you, will help me out here. I
Speaker 2: saw a little bit of a couple of little, minor demonstrations,
Speaker 2: like one in Seattle, one in Portland. You'd expect that.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen much. And I think that what Biden
Speaker 2: did today probably you know what.
Speaker 8: Let's get to what Biden. Let's get to what. Right,
Speaker 8: I'm just talking about what we're seeing on you know,
Speaker 8: on social media, and all the people that I know
Speaker 8: and all the I live in New York.
Speaker 6: I live in a bastion of left.
Speaker 8: Wing lunacy like you do, Okay, where he's were. No
Speaker 8: matter how bad a Democrat candidate is, they're getting sixty
Speaker 8: to seventy percent of the vote regardless, just because we we.
Speaker 2: Well, look we're talking past each other here. What I'm
Speaker 2: saying to you is that this election went pretty smoothly.
Speaker 2: It is decisive. Trump won the electoral vote. He's also
Speaker 2: apparently going to win the popular vote. Harris has conceded,
Speaker 2: President Biden has invited. It's it all seems very normal
Speaker 2: right now, and I'm just trying to say, let's let's
Speaker 2: let's enjoy being normal. That's all upset about people.
Speaker 8: Well, first off, first off, I was just talking about
Speaker 8: the people that I know personally, Okay, but more importantly, yeah,
Speaker 8: let's enjoy the normalcy while we wait for the other
Speaker 8: shoe to drop. What type of impeachment they're going to
Speaker 8: try to pull, or what type of nonsense that they're
Speaker 8: going I.
Speaker 2: Don't think, I don't. I Look, if they pull that,
Speaker 2: then you deal with it. But but look, what are
Speaker 2: they how are they going to repeach him because he
Speaker 2: gave a bad inaugural address? He's the president, Like, you
Speaker 2: can't impeach a president elect. You know that.
Speaker 8: Jamie Raskin and all these people are already plotting what
Speaker 8: they're going to do. Okay, something's coming up, So I'll
Speaker 8: save that for a conversation we'll have next year when
Speaker 8: something comes up.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous when something gets up, and let's okay, but it's
Speaker 2: like you said, guess what a spaceship might land next month,
Speaker 2: but I don't want to talk about it until it
Speaker 2: actually lands.
Speaker 8: Go ahead, right, and it's a certain But I'll say
Speaker 8: this as far as Biden's speech today, Okay, pardon me
Speaker 8: if I seem a little bit untrustworthy about your newfound
Speaker 8: you know, uh niceties that you have to say. Okay,
Speaker 8: when you just said the same thing when the guy
Speaker 8: got shot, and then fifteen minutes later, like some type
Speaker 8: of schizophrenic, you were talking about how he's evil and
Speaker 8: he's a Nazi.
Speaker 13: Okay.
Speaker 8: Maybe Kamala Harris and the Democrats got the message that
Speaker 8: they lost this election because we're sick of being called Nazis.
Speaker 8: I mean, the man's granddaughters are literally Jewish, his daughter's Jewish,
Speaker 8: his son in law is Jewish. And you're out there saying,
Speaker 8: and I.
Speaker 2: Think the majority of the American people to vote reflects that.
Speaker 2: I don't think the majority of American people said ligit
Speaker 2: like the Nazi, that would be great. He's right.
Speaker 8: I think that America saw through the rhetoric, and I
Speaker 8: think it didn't work.
Speaker 2: I think I just celebrate the fact that it didn't work.
Speaker 2: Ye here's the thing. Say this. Hold on for a second, Okay,
Speaker 2: hold on for a second. The only thing worse than
Speaker 2: a sore loser in my opinion, will it's a sure winner.
Speaker 2: Don't be a soure winner. Take your victory, enjoy it, and.
Speaker 10: Let's hold you know, then, let's somehow you think that
Speaker 10: I think this is somehow you think that I think
Speaker 10: this is some type of victory For me, This was
Speaker 10: a choice between.
Speaker 8: Shooting yourself in the head or in the foot. I
Speaker 8: think maybe you have my support for Trump confused with
Speaker 8: something that I did, like this is a wonderful day
Speaker 8: for me. No, this is at what.
Speaker 2: Would have been better? Will what would have been better
Speaker 2: in your opinion Trump winning or Harris winning?
Speaker 8: Obviously Harris winning was not an option for me or
Speaker 8: I would.
Speaker 2: So therefore, can you take the victory either take the
Speaker 2: voting for Can you.
Speaker 10: Take the victory.
Speaker 2: Can you take the victory and at least for a
Speaker 2: couple of days, be happy about it. Can you say
Speaker 2: to yourself, gee, I might have just sat in the
Speaker 2: in the White House and powdered, but he came out
Speaker 2: and he gave a pretty good presentation today.
Speaker 8: It's just unhappy that I'm unhappy that I live in
Speaker 8: a country that gives you two choices, and these are
Speaker 8: the two choices. That's really what I'm unhappy about it.
Speaker 8: I'm unhappy.
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of countries around the world world. There's
Speaker 2: a bunch of countries around the world where there's only
Speaker 2: one choice. But there's also a bunch of countries around
Speaker 2: the world, including Israel and many of the Western democracies
Speaker 2: in Europe, as you know, who give you seven or
Speaker 2: eight choices in the ballot, and they have to have
Speaker 2: coalition governments and then they have snap elections, parliamentary governments.
Speaker 2: You're smart, you know all that stuff.
Speaker 4: But I like it also has four years.
Speaker 8: I've also seen countries like where my wife is from,
Speaker 8: who's a naturalized citizen in Colombia, what a lot of
Speaker 8: people consider almost to be a third world country, certainly
Speaker 8: not the first world nation that literally put several parties
Speaker 8: on the ballot. And if nobody gets fifty percent of
Speaker 8: the vote and the top two run off at the end,
Speaker 8: at least I get to hear ideas from everybody.
Speaker 4: I might not agree with.
Speaker 2: A cos that's called rink. That's called rink choice voting.
Speaker 2: That's what what the left is trying to impose in America. Well,
Speaker 2: I got a pack lines. We've done about seven minutes,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna let you run for now. You're always
Speaker 2: a challenging caller, but we're just gonna agree to disagree
Speaker 2: in this one tonight.
Speaker 6: Fair enough, Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 8: I'm just never gonna be happy.
Speaker 2: I guess all right, I want you to be happy.
Speaker 2: I really do talk to you later. Good night. All right,
Speaker 2: let's keep let's keep rolling here, Gary and Wilburn. Gary,
Speaker 2: go right ahead.
Speaker 12: I'm gonna take.
Speaker 4: The election process.
Speaker 2: Garry. You're kind of you. You're really muffled here. Gary.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're underwater or if you got
Speaker 2: a bad microphone. You better Yeah, what what? What did
Speaker 2: you do to improve it.
Speaker 6: Okay, I move position. I was scared death of the
Speaker 6: election of Paris winning. I was really scarce of that.
Speaker 6: I was sick to my stomach. When I knew Trump won,
Speaker 6: I was like to relieve, and I you know, it's
Speaker 6: like happy days here again. Macedonmois the man who saw tomorrow.
Speaker 6: My questions to you, because that's smarter than I am.
Speaker 6: He'll eventually be sitting down with Putin, I would think,
Speaker 6: with a handshake and in the government. Excuse me, the
Speaker 6: American people will be mad as hell. In my opinion,
Speaker 6: he's going to go back to doing business with Russia
Speaker 6: with oil, and sanctions will be lifted, and there's gonna
Speaker 6: be a packed in agreement with a treaty no more war.
Speaker 6: And then the other part of it is you stay
Speaker 6: out of be Ran as we're protecting Israel.
Speaker 14: Agree or disagree, probably agree in some part, disagree, and
Speaker 14: so some some other part the idea of the pack
Speaker 14: no more war, Neville Chambers improves out in nineteen thirty nine,
Speaker 14: that's not possible when he had that packed with Hitler.
Speaker 14: Do I think that he'll sit down at some point
Speaker 14: with Putin?
Speaker 2: Yes? Do I think that some of the sanctions might
Speaker 2: be listed, yes, but I also think that he's going
Speaker 2: to get some commit means from Putin. I think it's
Speaker 2: possible that he may be able to sit with Putin
Speaker 2: and uh and calm the situation down in Ukraine. Look,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be optimistic for tonight, that's all. I
Speaker 2: When he went and visited with Kim Jong un, I
Speaker 2: think it's better that he's talking to that that that
Speaker 2: that roly poly leader of North Korea who has some
Speaker 2: nuclear missiles than not talking to him. So you know
Speaker 2: he is he he's an idiosyncreous. He has some idiosyncrasies
Speaker 2: as a as a as a president, and he's going
Speaker 2: to be criticized for it. But let's see how he does.
Speaker 2: Let's give him a chance.
Speaker 6: He's he's no money to Ukraine, right, and my question
Speaker 6: is Ukraine, how is that country going to be built up?
Speaker 6: Is it going to be coming from all of Europe
Speaker 6: with that money? Because you know what's gonna end up happen.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a slow No.
Speaker 2: I would think he's in the past. He's pushing Ado
Speaker 2: for money. We'll we'll have to see. I mean, uh,
Speaker 2: it's it's going to be a different approach. Today, Zelensky
Speaker 2: actually said some nice things about Trump, which kind of
Speaker 2: surprised me, because if I was Zelensky, I'd be a
Speaker 2: little a little cat, a little cautious. But hey, you know, things,
Speaker 2: stranger things have happened. I'm an optimist. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: be an optimist.
Speaker 6: Joints winning. And how about Chris?
Speaker 2: What I had Chris on the other night? What about
Speaker 2: Christ He just turned fifty on Tuesday night?
Speaker 6: Is he happy about Trump winning? And you happy about it?
Speaker 2: Yes? Uh, yeah, I think that. No, I do not
Speaker 2: disclose who I vote for, because that's not my job.
Speaker 2: When I look at a choice between Harris and Trump,
Speaker 2: I look at issues, and there's a lot of issues
Speaker 2: that I'm I'm pleased that that are going to go
Speaker 2: in the right direction. By the way. I've talked with
Speaker 2: some Democratic leaders, uh in the last few days, and
Speaker 2: many of them have said to me, we lost our way.
Speaker 2: We lost our way as a party. We lost our
Speaker 2: way because we decided to support boys playing on girls'
Speaker 2: sports teams in high school. We lost our way because
Speaker 2: we'd said to kids who were seven or eight years old,
Speaker 2: you go to your teacher, you go to your doctor
Speaker 2: and you want some sort of transgender surgery. The Paris
Speaker 2: are going to be kept out of it. That was
Speaker 2: said to me by liberal Democrats. Okay, not going to
Speaker 2: tell you who, but that was said to me by
Speaker 2: liberal Democrats. I think the Democrats kind of went over
Speaker 2: the edge. And I think that the Democrats are going
Speaker 2: to probably have to have some of these serious conversations
Speaker 2: internally about which way the party, their party is going
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 6: You always want something on the Dan ratio. You are
Speaker 6: follow Christmas, Thanks.
Speaker 2: Man, talk to you soon. Okay, good night, right, let
Speaker 2: me get Rick and Merrimack. Rick, you're next on nightside.
Speaker 2: Go right ahead. You're on your best behavior, I hope.
Speaker 15: Go ahead, Rick, Wow, you get a good memory. I
Speaker 15: can't believe it. I am on my best behavior.
Speaker 2: Go right ahead, Yes, sir, I'm here.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Well, all one, I apologize for being drug last year.
Speaker 15: I don't know what I said, but I'm sure it
Speaker 15: wasn't good.
Speaker 2: What wasn't good? But we're giving you a second. You're
Speaker 2: getting a rare second opportunity. What's your take on this? Rick?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 15: A lot of people are very skeptical and negative about it,
Speaker 15: but you're going to give the president a credit for
Speaker 15: he he spoke very well. What more could you ask for?
Speaker 15: I mean, he sounded down on earth, and I don't know,
Speaker 15: like you said, there's some bad losers out there, and
Speaker 15: he was that last guy that was the bad loser
Speaker 15: versus the lady before that. She summed it up, well,
Speaker 15: those were two extremes of total positive and total the
Speaker 15: other way.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Well, the thing I said that everybody's welcome
Speaker 2: here on night side, you know, as long as they're
Speaker 2: under control. And uh and and the point that that
Speaker 2: I think that you and I agree on is with
Speaker 2: the like Joe Biden or not, he did what a
Speaker 2: president of the United States should do tonight, and he did.
Speaker 2: He was He's going to welcome to the White House
Speaker 2: someone who refused to welcome him. It takes it takes,
Speaker 2: you know, a person with some integrity to do that.
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, in retrospect, the Democrats must be
Speaker 2: saying to themselves, did we do the right thing in
Speaker 2: moving him off the stage? I mean, I can just
Speaker 2: imagine what do you think it was like on election
Speaker 2: night in the Lincoln bedroom when Joe and Joe Biden
Speaker 2: was sitting there look looking at those results come in.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think Joe Biden Jill wanted her
Speaker 2: husband to walk away. I think she likes being in
Speaker 2: the White House and she may get some invitations to
Speaker 2: stop by for a visit, but she won't be sleeping
Speaker 2: in the Lincoln bedroom. If you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 15: Well, yes, this is true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's just yeah.
Speaker 15: People need to calm down most of all. And I
Speaker 15: don't know if they have a will, but hey whatever, I.
Speaker 2: Hope we can. I really do hope we can. Rick.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the call. Thank you very much. We gambled
Speaker 2: and we won with this call. Thank you, my friend kid.
Speaker 15: Yeah, thank you for a chance to say the apology.
Speaker 15: I I'm sorry for well, I got other people apologize
Speaker 15: in life, and it takes time.
Speaker 2: So anyways, it takes it takes a big person who
Speaker 2: wish you an apology. Trust me on that, and I appreciate.
Speaker 15: Well, Hey, I had a call a lot earlier. I
Speaker 15: don't care who's listening. They can hear it. It's all
Speaker 15: there for the record.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Thanks very good night, talk, Thank you, we'll talk again.
Speaker 2: Good night. Here's a quick break coming up. We're right
Speaker 2: back after this on night Side.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: Okay, we get about seven minutes left then, and got
Speaker 2: four callers. I'm going to try to get everyone in here.
Speaker 2: I hope I can do it. I'm going to ask
Speaker 2: you be as quick as you can. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to fight you. But what do you think? Frank and
Speaker 2: Boston next on Nightside?
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Frank, Hey, sir, I'm glad to hear that.
Speaker 13: I hear mister President Biden's speech, but I'm glad that
Speaker 13: it was conciliatory like that, which shows just how much
Speaker 13: of a difference he supposed uh with their losses compared
Speaker 13: to the other ones. And also, I.
Speaker 2: Agree with the first part of the statement. I disagree
Speaker 2: with the second part of the statement. But god, it's
Speaker 2: like I think you give you can give credit to
Speaker 2: Biden without criticizing other people. But but that's your that's
Speaker 2: your opinion. You go right ahead.
Speaker 13: And also could I'm really upset, well not upset, but
Speaker 13: the Democrats shouldn't be midpicking this thing. Everything was done
Speaker 13: just like they should have. It wasn't Democrats who failed,
Speaker 13: It was the populace who failed. And unfortunately, I'm surprised
Speaker 13: that since they were so upset about the economy that
Speaker 13: they and go and go one step further and kick
Speaker 13: their senators and their reps and their governors out of office,
Speaker 13: because if the economy is so bad that they.
Speaker 6: Have they have a part to play in that badness.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a bunch of US senators a Bob Casey
Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania, Sheriff Brown from Ohio, and John John.
Speaker 13: What about the son.
Speaker 6: Of a job in the Midwest ones? What about them?
Speaker 13: Especially the South? The South has been depressed for centuries
Speaker 13: and they still elected the same people, and they got
Speaker 13: a nerve to say, you know, President Biden, h gave
Speaker 13: us a bad economy.
Speaker 2: Okay, the economy has been good for you, Frank. I'm
Speaker 2: happy for you and your in yours, But the majority
Speaker 2: of America people see it differently. Frank, I got to
Speaker 2: run because they got others here who I got to
Speaker 2: get in in line as well. I hope you Gil,
Speaker 2: you got your point, mate, Thank you much. John and
Speaker 2: Drake and John you gotta be quick for me, please, John.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no problem, Dan, Listen.
Speaker 13: I think that President Biden did the right thing by
Speaker 13: doing that inviting him to the White House.
Speaker 8: I think he's gonna ask him if he'll pardon Hunted.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I think I suggested last
Speaker 2: might be a gesture that it would be a gesture
Speaker 2: that that Trump might want to make. I mean, Trump
Speaker 2: has known the having the sort of damnicles holding over
Speaker 2: his head. Maybe he may want to may want to
Speaker 2: offer that. I don't know.
Speaker 8: Well, he'll offer that, and then Biden can offer him
Speaker 8: to be party, So it'd be like a.
Speaker 2: Trump's gonna be able to pardon himself if there want.
Speaker 2: The Feds are walking away today, they're they're wrapping the lawsuits,
Speaker 2: the federal lawsuits. The only one who's hanging in there
Speaker 2: was the Age in New York, Letitia James. Uh, she's
Speaker 2: not gonna quid.
Speaker 8: Well, he's gonna push out aside.
Speaker 12: That'll that'll go out with the with the laundry.
Speaker 8: But yeah, I want to jump.
Speaker 4: They're real quickly. No, thanks for.
Speaker 2: Thanks, John, appreciate it. Here we go Rachel and Quincy.
Speaker 2: Rachel you were next. You gotta be quick for me. Rachel,
Speaker 2: you're late.
Speaker 16: Get I am absolutely dance. Thank you for allowing me
Speaker 16: to come in and I'm going back to a comment
Speaker 16: that one of your callers made saying that the country
Speaker 16: would be back together if we had another nine to eleven.
Speaker 16: How dare him say that?
Speaker 2: Well, I think what he was saying was that when
Speaker 2: a crisis occurs like Pearl Harbor or nine to eleven
Speaker 2: or the Kennedy assassination, what he was saying was that's
Speaker 2: when we do come together, and unfortunately we don't stay together.
Speaker 2: I think that his comment that was Warren, and I
Speaker 2: know Warren very well. I knew exactly what he meant
Speaker 2: by it, and he was not being He was not
Speaker 2: in any way shape or for him hoping for a
Speaker 2: nine to eleven. Trust me on that. I know him
Speaker 2: too well.
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you, and all right, that is amazing.
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, thanks for you, appreciate it. Have a
Speaker 2: great one, John Brookline, Johnny, get to wrap the night
Speaker 2: and wrap the hour for us.
Speaker 12: Hey, Dan, thanks for taking the call. I just want
Speaker 12: to quickly say about the Democrats bringing this to their
Speaker 12: own misery. You know, you're absolutely right about the transgender
Speaker 12: rights and all that, and I mean that sincerely. I
Speaker 12: have no issues. They can do whatever they want in
Speaker 12: their closed doors, in their own room. But trying to
Speaker 12: shove it down everybody's throat that you know, teaching our
Speaker 12: kids in school and all of that, that's just way
Speaker 12: beyond everybody's liking. And I just want to say one
Speaker 12: more thing about the politics in general. As long as
Speaker 12: there are groups that they can support, like a pack
Speaker 12: packages where they can give millions of dollars to these
Speaker 12: congressmans and stuff, nothing is going to change in this country.
Speaker 12: They need to stop this you know thing of donating,
Speaker 12: you know, giving money to these congress people and senators
Speaker 12: and so sporting, and that includes everybody. No foreign country
Speaker 12: should be allowed to put money into our politicians pocket.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think foreign I don't think foreign countries
Speaker 2: are allowed to put money into politicians pockets.
Speaker 12: Is an Israel given millions of dollars.
Speaker 2: To Nope, Nope, there there's a there's a group which
Speaker 2: is a pack, but it's not supported by foreign money.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of foreign money that goes into colleges
Speaker 2: in this country and universities, which has had a deleterious effect.
Speaker 2: But whoever, the money dan from Americans.
Speaker 12: From Americas.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Also, Israel is not is not given money towards it
Speaker 12: is the Jewish.
Speaker 2: Not giving money that's going to American politicians. That would
Speaker 2: be illegal. John. We can talk about that more at length,
Speaker 2: but I'm flat out of time for tonight. I appreciate
Speaker 2: you taking the time. We'll talk again. Thank you. Have
Speaker 2: a great name.
