1
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm Easy Boston News Radio.

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, we have not talked about the base off between

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Harvard University and the White House, and we're going to

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 2>spend the last hour tonight talking about that. And I'd

5
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 2>love to know who you think is right, who you

6
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 2>think is wrong. The Trump administration has basically sent a

7
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>letter to Harvard University, to the president of Harvard University,

8
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>basically making it looks to me like eight specific demands

9
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that deal with similar subjects that overlap a little bit.

10
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>So let me let me first of all read to

11
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 2>the White House demands so that you can absorb them

12
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and digest them. And then Harvard is basically saying we

13
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 2>are not going to cooperate. Now, Columbia University has cooperated

14
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>with some of these demands. They were looking at a

15
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>four hundred billion dollar amount of money that the administration

16
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>was going to withhold Columbia, which was really the i

17
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>think ground zero of some of the protests and the

18
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.760
<v Speaker 2>intensity of some of the programs. They faced a loss

19
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 2>of four hundred million in federal funding. Actually agreed in

20
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 2>March to major concessions. This according to an article out

21
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 2>of the usas a Today yes, I believe it is

22
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>by Elizabeth Bugh Miller reporting from Washington, in which they

23
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>installed new oversight of its Middle Eastern, South Asian and

24
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 2>African Studies department. Now, that was a problem area for Columbia,

25
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>and I think Columbia was very smart to capitulate on

26
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 2>that and to agree. I believe that was the one

27
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>of those departments produced the professor who was on camera

28
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>saying that he was exhilarated by what happened in Israel

29
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>on October seventh of twenty twenty three. The Harvard situation

30
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>is a little different. There is, as a matter of fact,

31
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 2>there's a conservative presence on Harvard University. It's not to

32
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>the extent that the Trump administration wants, that is for sure.

33
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 2>And Harvard's acceptance standards were called into question by US

34
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court decision a couple of years ago, which has

35
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>changed the makeup of the freshman class, the incoming freshman

36
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>class at Harvard, not only the one that is the

37
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>freshman class now, but the one that will be assembled

38
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 2>later this spring. But according to again, this is a

39
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>reporter out an article written today, USA today. We see

40
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 2>the USA today. I'm not sure. I think the other

41
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>mighty might have been an ap story. I'm sorry for

42
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>that confusion. But here are the demands that the Trump

43
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>administrations made to Harvard. One, change the governance of the

44
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 2>leadership to reduce the power of students, faculty, and administrators

45
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>quote more committed to activism than scholarship unquote. That's pretty vague.

46
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 2>That's I mean, you could accede to that, but it's

47
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 2>pretty vague. How you comply with it? End quote. This

48
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 2>is more specific all preferences based on race, color, religion, sects,

49
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 2>and national origin unquote in Harvard's hiring and review existing

50
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>faculty for plagiarism. Also to end similar preferences in its

51
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>administration is admissions process. That's more specific. Three, change admissions

52
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 2>processes quote to prevent admitting students hostile to the American

53
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>value use and institutions inscribed in the US Constitution and

54
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Declaration of Independence unquote. Fairly vague, a difficult standard to

55
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>comply with, frankly. Four, bring in an external party approved

56
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>by the federal government to audit groups within the school

57
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>for diverse ideological viewpoints. Well, there wouldn't be diverse ideological

58
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 2>viewpoints within a specific group, but I think it is

59
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 2>better to say, you know, make sure that there are

60
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>diverse ideological viewpoints available. Clearly there's no diverse ideological viewpoint

61
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 2>within a math with a math department, or even well

62
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 2>certainly within a math department. Two and two or are

63
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 2>always going to be four no matter what your politics are.

64
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Bring an external party approved by the federal government again

65
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>to audit the groups within the school for diverse ideological viewpoints.

66
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>That's not worded and that's not quoted, that could be incorrect.

67
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Bring in an external party improved by the federal government

68
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 2>audit programs, quote, programs and departments that most fuel anti

69
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Semitic harassment or reflect ideological capture. I don't even know

70
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 2>what ideological capture means. So that's a fairly broad and

71
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>somewhat vague demand. Six pretty specific stop all DEI programs

72
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:33.720
<v Speaker 2>within the school. Seven updated students discipline policies where they

73
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 2>are quote insufficient to prevent the disruption of scholarship, classroom learning,

74
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>and teaching, or other aspects of normal campus life unquote.

75
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 2>This demand also includes a mask man and that is

76
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the one demand that I think Harvard could easily comply with,

77
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.319
<v Speaker 2>should they want to comply. Eighth, create a process for

78
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 2>any Harvard affiliate, and that would mean a student or

79
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>a professor who could report noncomp alliance to university leadership

80
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 2>and the federal government. In response, Harvard President Alan Garber

81
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>said the demands overstep the power of the federal government. Quote,

82
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its

83
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>constitutional rights. Stephen Pinker, who is a professor's conservative at

84
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Harvard and has been on this show. He's a prominent

85
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Harvard psychologist who is also president of the Council and

86
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Academic Freedom at Harvard. He's been fighting for academic freedom

87
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 2>set on Monday, it was truly Orwellian in self, contradictory

88
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 2>to the government force viewpoint diversity of the university. He said,

89
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>it would also lead to absurdities. Will this government force

90
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>the economics department to hire Marxists or the psychology departments

91
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>to hire Jungians, or for that matter, for the medical

92
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 2>school to hire homeopaths of Native American healers? Good questions, anyway,

93
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 2>That's where we are. So the question is, well, it's

94
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 2>a serious questions. Do you think Harvard will comply. I

95
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>think they're not going to comply. I think it will

96
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>end up in court there's also the case with the

97
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:12.519
<v Speaker 2>state of Maine now where the Trump administration is going

98
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 2>after Maine on the Title nine issue. I think the

99
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:21.279
<v Speaker 2>grounds there on Title nine are better. The Governor of Maine,

100
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Janet Mills, is saying this only affects like two students

101
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 2>in Maine. I'm not so sure that's accurate. But this

102
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 2>is again similar issue. This is Pam Bondi talking about

103
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>suing the State of Maine for lack of compliance with

104
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Title nine. That's the transgender issue, where transgender athletes can

105
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.720
<v Speaker 2>compete against female athletes. Cut number thirteen. Please, that's the

106
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 2>shorter version of cut thirteen. Please, Dan.

107
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 3>Today the Department of Justice is announcing a civil lawsuit

108
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 3>against the main Department of Education. The state of Maine

109
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.720
<v Speaker 3>is discriminating against women by failing to protect women in

110
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 3>women's sports. Pretty basic stuff. This is a violation of

111
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Title nine. The Department of Justice will not sit by

112
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 3>when women are discriminated against in sports. This is about sports.

113
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 3>This is also about these young women's personal safety.

114
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.959
<v Speaker 2>My last comment before we go to phone calls, and

115
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 2>we will go to phone calls right after the break

116
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 2>at six one, seven, two, four, ten thirty or six

117
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 2>one seven, nine, three, one, ten, thirty. Is it to me?

118
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Is amazing how many fights the Trump administration. We have

119
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 2>not even hit the hundred daymarkyt I think the one

120
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred daymark yea February twenty eighth, fifty nine. With March,

121
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 2>we're now at sixteen, so that we're getting up there

122
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>around what seventy five and then you add another ten days,

123
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 2>we are still two weeks away from one hundred day mark.

124
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>This administration has opened up philosophical firefights on a number

125
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>of fronts. I don't even know how they're able to

126
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 2>keep up with the lawsuits that are going back and forth.

127
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I think the administration would be smarter to pick the

128
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 2>fights that they are more confident of winning early and

129
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:20.639
<v Speaker 2>establish that trend, as opposed to picking as many fights

130
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.840
<v Speaker 2>as they possibly can within the first hundred days. We'll

131
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>go to phone calls, Bob and California will start us off.

132
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>On the other side. I know Bob will be loaded

133
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>for Bear. I hope you are as well. Are you

134
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 2>with Harvard or are you with Donald Trump? Late today,

135
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>President Trump said that he and I'm not sure he

136
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 2>has the ability to do this, might try to pull

137
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:48.519
<v Speaker 2>away from them their ability to be exempt their charitable exemption,

138
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 2>as schools and hospitals are they have exemptions. I don't

139
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 2>see how. I don't even see how Congress could pass

140
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 2>what would be called the Bill of attain UH to

141
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>make Harvard exempt from their their their status as a

142
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>as a public institution that is non taxable. They're they're

143
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 2>not they're non taxable exemption or their tax exemption, however

144
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>you want to describe it better yet, their tax exemption

145
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:27.639
<v Speaker 2>six six seven. Who do you who do you think

146
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>is right? And who do you think who are you

147
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 2>rooting for? You may have some very serious doubts the

148
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.320
<v Speaker 2>breath of this. Trump approaches these as an art of

149
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 2>the deal conversation, not as a a an action that

150
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 2>is legally bulletproof. I think that is the difference that

151
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to focus on as well. Back on nights

152
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:50.519
<v Speaker 2>on after this.

153
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 1>It's Night's Eye with Dan Ray on w Boston's news radio.

154
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Sir Donald Trump, President, Donald Trump versus Harvard University? Who

155
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 2>are you rooting for? And why you have the number?

156
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Six one seven two thirty, six one seven, nine thirty.

157
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 2>This is WBC and Boston. We're heard over half the country. Uh,

158
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 2>this is the quote of public opinion. Your voice matters.

159
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Bob in California. Bob, thanks for getting us going this hour.

160
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.960
<v Speaker 4>How are you good?

161
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Good?

162
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, Dan?

163
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 6>How are you doing good.

164
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>It's been a busy night, been a very busy night here.

165
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy about that. This is this is a battle

166
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>of the Titans.

167
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 6>Yes, yes, I'm gonna make free comments. First of all,

168
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 6>who is Harvard or any organization who are they to

169
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:50.320
<v Speaker 6>like push back on what the government is asking when

170
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 6>they're being gifted with taxpayer money. We're giving them free

171
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:59.639
<v Speaker 6>taxpayer money, okay. And to the people listening, Joe taxpayer

172
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 6>listening now, who works forty fifty hours a week, right, okay,

173
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.240
<v Speaker 6>they're taking money out of his wallet or her wallet,

174
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.679
<v Speaker 6>literally taking money out of their wallet and giving it

175
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:16.320
<v Speaker 6>to Harvard and these other tax free organizations. Now, and

176
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.399
<v Speaker 6>I want to keep this brace. I know I'm going on,

177
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 6>but the fact.

178
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, you're fine. And by the way, let

179
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:24.639
<v Speaker 2>me just tell you that. And you're aware of this,

180
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.759
<v Speaker 2>but I want to make sure the audience is aware.

181
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Harvard probably has the largest endowment of any university, if

182
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.399
<v Speaker 2>not in America the world. They have an endowment that's

183
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 2>estimated at fifty three billion dollars.

184
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 6>Yes, yes, yes, And my point is my big point,

185
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 6>And I'm really to your point. Where American taxpayers already

186
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 6>subsidize these tax free organizations, these colleges, churches. We subsidize

187
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 6>them because they pay no taxes. Now on top of that,

188
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.960
<v Speaker 6>we're supposed to give them billions of dollars. Are you

189
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 6>kidding me? Taxpayer money? Right? I heard you say before

190
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 6>the break, President Trump. I think he's onto something. I

191
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 6>think it's time to revoke completely to five zero two

192
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 6>c tax exempt kill that. Just eliminate that in Congress

193
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.720
<v Speaker 6>so it does not exist anymore. When you have churches

194
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.399
<v Speaker 6>during COVID, right, you had thousands of churches, Catholic churches

195
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 6>and other churches take billions of taxpayer dollars during COVID.

196
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.600
<v Speaker 6>What are they doing? Why are they entitled to that?

197
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 6>They don't pay any taxes? Harvard nine billion dollars of

198
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.519
<v Speaker 6>taxpayer money, and they.

199
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Are a part of that. Bob, Just in fairness here,

200
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.159
<v Speaker 2>just to make sure we're on the same page and

201
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:51.039
<v Speaker 2>you're accurate, about two point two billion and another six

202
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 2>hundred million in grants go directly to Harvard. The ballance

203
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>of the nine billion. A lot of it goes to

204
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 2>hospitals that are affiliated with Harvard for minute medical research

205
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:01.759
<v Speaker 2>and all of that.

206
00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.960
<v Speaker 6>So I mean for research, you know what, Yes, shot,

207
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.240
<v Speaker 6>they did medical research. I get it, and I'm sorry

208
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 6>I've worked up. But people still pay thousands of dollars

209
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.840
<v Speaker 6>for vaccinations and pharmaceuticals and all that. The only one's

210
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 6>benefiting by those tax dollars to the Harvard Hospitals, of

211
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 6>the stockholders of the pharmaceutical companies and those hospitals. I'm

212
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.519
<v Speaker 6>going to say it again, and I hope other people agree.

213
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 6>It's time to strike down the five h the tax

214
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.159
<v Speaker 6>state status eliminated.

215
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>So I understand your point. Let me let me just

216
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.159
<v Speaker 2>share with you because I want you understand this and

217
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you know it and you're well informed, and I'm not

218
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 2>trying to contradict you. I'm trying to ineffect of really

219
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:51.879
<v Speaker 2>flesh out what you're saying. According to this article that

220
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I've vetted is accurate, the two point two billion in

221
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 2>multi year grants are to the universe, along with another

222
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 2>sixty million dollar contract. So that's about However, you would

223
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>you know two point two billion, and so add sixty million,

224
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:12.840
<v Speaker 2>so it's two point two six billion. That's a fraction

225
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.639
<v Speaker 2>of the nine billion in federal funding that Harvard received.

226
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Seven billion goes to the university's eleven affiliated hospitals in

227
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Boston and Cambridge, including Mass General, Boston Children's, Dana Farvard Institute.

228
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>The remaining two billion goes to research grants directly for Harvard,

229
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 2>including for space exploration, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and tuberculosis.

230
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:39.159
<v Speaker 2>So it's not as if Harvard is putting the money

231
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 2>in their pocket directly, but that money is flowing through

232
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Harvard to these medical institutions that are affiliated with Harvard

233
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>for what we would hope are noble goals, and that

234
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:56.759
<v Speaker 2>is the elimination of you know, things like diabetes, cancer,

235
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.799
<v Speaker 2>at Alzheimer's disease, and tuberculosis. That's all just keeping it

236
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 2>in perspective. But I think you represent the point of

237
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>view of most people who are saying, why does it

238
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Why does a school with fifty three billion dollar endowment

239
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 2>get extra money?

240
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.840
<v Speaker 6>It's absurd, It's absolutely absurd. And again I hope people

241
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 6>listen and call up. They need to pressure Congress right

242
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.960
<v Speaker 6>revote finalgency for all organizations that haven't.

243
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I don't think that they. I don't think

244
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:35.399
<v Speaker 2>that Congress will revoke you know, the because every every

245
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 2>member of Congress represents, you know, in some form of fashion,

246
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.519
<v Speaker 2>a college here or college there, maybe in a big

247
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:48.399
<v Speaker 2>college there, some hospitals, some churches, those those that's the acreage,

248
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>if you will, that really is non taxable. Where you're

249
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, quarter acre home or the apartment building which

250
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>you live does pay taxes.

251
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. Thanks again, Harvand I can't

252
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 6>believe the goal that they have to actually make demands,

253
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 6>right to make demands when I get it, they're being

254
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 6>gifted all this money. It's ridiculous. Anyway, Thank you, Dan,

255
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:15.400
<v Speaker 6>a lot of other people.

256
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Bobby. I ap appreciate your call. Yeah, I love

257
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the passion of your call. You know that. Thank you

258
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 2>so much. Bob's we're going to call a listener, I

259
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 2>should say out in California. Let me go to Jeff

260
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.119
<v Speaker 2>in wal Dame, Jeff, you were next on Nightsige.

261
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Go right ahead, well, bed Eve think Dan, my view

262
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 4>is this now we're learning my views on Trump's uh

263
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 4>stances toward other issues. I agree with him on this,

264
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 4>and I'll tell you why because in so far as

265
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:51.160
<v Speaker 4>Harvard University more than other universities, more than most ever university,

266
00:17:52.160 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 4>uh accommodates particular ideologies at the expense of others in

267
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:10.119
<v Speaker 4>terms of expressions thereof and free speech about them. Uh.

268
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 4>If you are not going to allow, okay, all ideologies

269
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:23.160
<v Speaker 4>or points of view to be equally acceptable in terms

270
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.079
<v Speaker 4>of their expression on campus, then you should not be

271
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 4>endorsing such an institution. You should not be funding it.

272
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.839
<v Speaker 4>In other words, it may be fine too to be

273
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.559
<v Speaker 4>to accommodate it and accept the expression of all ideologies.

274
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 4>But we have an almost a welling in situation here

275
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 4>where uh, you know, all ideologies might be created equal,

276
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.079
<v Speaker 4>but some ideologies are more equal than others.

277
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, no, I do, I do understand that. But

278
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>but let me let me cite ironic clad in last

279
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Sunday's Boston Globe. The front page cover of the Globe

280
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.440
<v Speaker 2>magazine was an article written by Adelaide Parker. She's a

281
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.839
<v Speaker 2>junior at Harvard, She's been on My show, she's a

282
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Globe correspondent. And the article is the return of the

283
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 2>college Conservative. It's never been a better time to be

284
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.920
<v Speaker 2>a Republican on this campus. Young conservatives are back on campus.

285
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:35.160
<v Speaker 2>And they won't let you forget it. And the point

286
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 2>was that I'm just going to reach the first paragraph. Okay,

287
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:43.839
<v Speaker 2>first two paragraphs, bear with me for second. It was

288
00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:46.599
<v Speaker 2>the night of the twenty twenty four election, and the

289
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.400
<v Speaker 2>crowd at the Cambridge Queen's Head Pub in Harvard's Memorial

290
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Hall was buzzing with energy. People crowded around tables and

291
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.359
<v Speaker 2>against the Polish bar watching votes roll in on a

292
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.599
<v Speaker 2>projector screen. Some more tailored suits and as others were

293
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:05.559
<v Speaker 2>in flowy dresses. Most just wore sweatpants. Empty cans and

294
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:09.119
<v Speaker 2>plates pile with pizza crusts were strewn across the tables,

295
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 2>and a mammoth Crimson flag hung from the ceiling. It

296
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>was adorned with a photo of Donald Trump raising his

297
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 2>fist in triumph after last year's last July's assassination attempt,

298
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 2>along with the mantra Fight Fight Fight. It's ironic, according

299
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.279
<v Speaker 2>to Adelaide's Parker's piece, and we will have her on

300
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I hope in the next few nights. She's saying that

301
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>there is a resurgence of either Republican or conservative viewpoint

302
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>amongst the faculty and well even more so amongst the

303
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 2>student body. At Harvard. So maybe it doesn't have to

304
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:49.279
<v Speaker 2>happen through government, can coercion, Maybe it can. It will

305
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:50.920
<v Speaker 2>happen spontaneously.

306
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And what you said actually is hardening to me.

307
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, you can read, Jeff, I know you're a reader.

308
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:05.799
<v Speaker 2>Read this article. It was last Sunday's Globe cover page.

309
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.319
<v Speaker 2>And you could just google it. Just you know, You're

310
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 2>just google Adelaide Parker. Anyone can do that.

311
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.680
<v Speaker 4>I would appreciate the suggestion, but I just want to

312
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.640
<v Speaker 4>say one thing. Sure, I think it. I think it

313
00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 4>is unethical, uh and unprincipled. It's not blatantly immoral uh

314
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 4>to use taxpayers' money to in effect, uh favor some

315
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:40.160
<v Speaker 4>ideologies and not others in a quite arbitrary fashion. That's

316
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.920
<v Speaker 4>why I'm with mister trump one.

317
00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough, it's very much, thank you, very much, j

318
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.519
<v Speaker 2>appreciate your call. It's been going on for a while. Uh.

319
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Colleges have often attracted people, you know. I think businesses

320
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 2>tend to attract people who, for the most part, as

321
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 2>a general rule, and obviously many excepts, tend to be

322
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:06.200
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more conservative than people who are going

323
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:10.519
<v Speaker 2>and spending their times thinking great thoughts. At Harvard and elsewhere. Look,

324
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 2>I've seen statistics when professors are asked at some of

325
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the big schools, not just Harvard, any of the Ivy

326
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 2>League schools. University of Michigan, by the way, tomorrow night,

327
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 2>since I mentioned the University of Michigan, we will be

328
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.400
<v Speaker 2>joined by doctor Marshall Rungi, he's the dean of the

329
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.079
<v Speaker 2>medical school at the University of Michigan. Will be joined

330
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:35.960
<v Speaker 2>by him tomorrow night at ten o'clock and we're going

331
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to be talking I interviewed him briefly last week. We're

332
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be talking about the physician shortage in this country.

333
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Now he's the dean of a very significant medical school,

334
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.480
<v Speaker 2>University of Michigan, in the Midwest. There is a shortage

335
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:54.799
<v Speaker 2>of PCP you know, primary care physicians, personal doctors, whatever

336
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:58.799
<v Speaker 2>you want to call them, everywhere everywhere. Why is that.

337
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:00.559
<v Speaker 2>We're going to drill down on why it is and

338
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 2>what needs to be done to change it around. In

339
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 2>the meantime, we'll continue to talk about this. Look, there

340
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.839
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of liberal professors, and again liberal professor

341
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:14.200
<v Speaker 2>in mathematics, there's no such thing as liberal math or

342
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:19.039
<v Speaker 2>conservative math. But in sociology and history, in politics, in government,

343
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 2>in media. It's there's a bias. I don't know that

344
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration is doing the right thing to attack

345
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 2>this and approach this in what I would call a

346
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.160
<v Speaker 2>hymn fisted attitude. And I think probably Professor Steve Pinker,

347
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.559
<v Speaker 2>who is a conservative at Harvard, would agree with me.

348
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:42.559
<v Speaker 2>I actually called him the other day, didn't get a

349
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 2>call back, like to get him on the show and

350
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:47.200
<v Speaker 2>talk about this. And I suspect my friend Harvey Silverglade

351
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:53.680
<v Speaker 2>would also be a little concerned about this, and maybe

352
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Speaker 2>some of you are so far both callers is that

353
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.599
<v Speaker 2>are cheering on the president here. I think the president

354
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.799
<v Speaker 2>is arguing this in the court of public opinion. He

355
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>may I think he has more solid ground legally the

356
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Title nine argument in Maine. I think that's a much

357
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:16.680
<v Speaker 2>more solid position to take legally. I've gone too long,

358
00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Sorry about that. Here comes the news back right after

359
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:22.640
<v Speaker 2>the news here on Nightside. It's been a great night

360
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.920
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside. Stay with us.

361
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray ONBZ Boston's news radio.

362
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Before we get back to the callings, I just want

363
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.359
<v Speaker 2>to take a minute, and I've never done this before,

364
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.559
<v Speaker 2>but I want to take a minute and thank all

365
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:44.240
<v Speaker 2>of you who listen to my program regularly, all of

366
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:47.160
<v Speaker 2>you who take the time to call into my program.

367
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean this from the bottom of my heart. What

368
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:54.119
<v Speaker 2>is the most important element of this program from day

369
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:58.759
<v Speaker 2>one has been the voice of callers. You know me,

370
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you know my opinions. I'm not really looking to impose

371
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.480
<v Speaker 2>my opinions on anyone. I'm looking for a conversation. I'm

372
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.000
<v Speaker 2>looking for a program that might make you a little smarter,

373
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe not, but but forces you to think. That's what

374
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm all about. Okay, And and I'm I have never

375
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:24.640
<v Speaker 2>said this on the radio before, but I don't want

376
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 2>this program to change. I want to have it a place.

377
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I wanted it be a program where people can go

378
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 2>and feel comfortable when they call here. Yeah, we can

379
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:39.119
<v Speaker 2>have some heated conversations, but whatever your point of view,

380
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.759
<v Speaker 2>you are welcome here. You're welcome to express that point

381
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>of view. And whether you disagree with me, I want

382
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 2>you to call the program more so. Now I may

383
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.000
<v Speaker 2>be a different sort of talk show host. I don't

384
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.519
<v Speaker 2>like the sound of my own voice. Did you hear

385
00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>what I said? I don't think that there's anything matter

386
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.720
<v Speaker 2>about my voice, and that people are going to listen

387
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:05.160
<v Speaker 2>to this program so they can hear what I think.

388
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I think people listen to this program so they can

389
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 2>they can compare what they think and what they believe

390
00:26:13.480 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>to what others think and believe. And I think that's

391
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:18.319
<v Speaker 2>the secret sauce of this program. And I hope we

392
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 2>never lose that. We've had three great programs this week.

393
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:24.319
<v Speaker 2>We've got a great program going tonight. But I just

394
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:27.400
<v Speaker 2>want to say thank you. Oftentimes on I end the program,

395
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll say I want to thank Rob, and I want

396
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:30.960
<v Speaker 2>to thank Ma reader, and tonight I want to thank Dan,

397
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 2>and I want to thank the callers and the listeners.

398
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:35.680
<v Speaker 2>But I want to express it just for a moment

399
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.599
<v Speaker 2>right now in the middle of the show, to let

400
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.680
<v Speaker 2>you know how much I appreciate that you take the

401
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.920
<v Speaker 2>time to listen to my program, listen to me, listen

402
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to the comments of my listeners, and even more importantly

403
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.720
<v Speaker 2>participate because without you, I can't sit here for four

404
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:55.400
<v Speaker 2>hours and just talk and give you my opinions. Who's

405
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>going to want to listen to that. I pick subjects

406
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I decide in consultation with Marita, the producer during the day,

407
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:10.759
<v Speaker 2>and she and I often disagree but I'm the one

408
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:15.119
<v Speaker 2>who's sitting here at night alone with you. I don't

409
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.400
<v Speaker 2>have a co host. I don't have a panel of

410
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:20.279
<v Speaker 2>people who I can bounce ideas off of. That's why

411
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.039
<v Speaker 2>you are so critical to this program. And I thank

412
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 2>you for being there every night or whatever night you

413
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.680
<v Speaker 2>you are here. I really mean that from the bottom

414
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.559
<v Speaker 2>of my heart. Let me keep going here. Going to

415
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.599
<v Speaker 2>go to Linda in Saugust. Linda, thanks for calling in.

416
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.519
<v Speaker 2>How are you tonight, Linda?

417
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 7>Oh? I am pretty good? Thank you. Yes, No, I'm sorry.

418
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:42.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm for the university, so I'm not just for Harvard

419
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.160
<v Speaker 7>Brown and all the great college you don't have.

420
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to be sorry. There's no apology, no

421
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 2>apology necessary. I appreciate your part.

422
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 7>I've listened to you years ago, and I just got

423
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 7>to listen to Trump selection. I used to think of

424
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:02.640
<v Speaker 7>you as being more moderate. You're tend to be a

425
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:06.839
<v Speaker 7>very conservative conservative Trump person. I was. I am even

426
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.240
<v Speaker 7>conservative and became a moderate because I listened done more

427
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.400
<v Speaker 7>into both sides of everything. And I just feel your

428
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:20.759
<v Speaker 7>program is getting too to one sided, too conservative, and

429
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:23.400
<v Speaker 7>by the people that call you don't get too many

430
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 7>people like me that have a different opinion.

431
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:31.559
<v Speaker 2>So well, let me, Linda, I can't think of any show.

432
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I am a conservative, you know that.

433
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:40.599
<v Speaker 7>But please please have gotten more in in the middle.

434
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 7>I don't know, nobody ever knows issue. Let me just

435
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 7>balance so I don't know. That's why and I and

436
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:52.960
<v Speaker 7>I could I.

437
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Just make one quick point for your maybe not go ahead,

438
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>go ahead? Doesn't want a conversation, go ahea.

439
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 7>I have friends that are both sides, and you know,

440
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 7>people have been hoping for all these big things he's

441
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:13.400
<v Speaker 7>going to do. He's going too fast, too crazy with

442
00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 7>Elon Musk and all the things he's doing. And he's

443
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:21.079
<v Speaker 7>talking about a fourth you know, a third term. He

444
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.799
<v Speaker 7>wants to have his you know, picture on the currency.

445
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.640
<v Speaker 7>He's he's dangerous and it's just got it. And you know,

446
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 7>if we let him get too far, too fast, we're

447
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:35.440
<v Speaker 7>all going to be very sorry in the long run.

448
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:39.440
<v Speaker 7>And that's what that's He scares me, and I know

449
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:41.799
<v Speaker 7>a lot of people feel that way, that is scared

450
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.519
<v Speaker 7>by him. And just with him going after Harvard that

451
00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:49.559
<v Speaker 7>does a lot of good things, you know, with all

452
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.440
<v Speaker 7>the medical stuff, with all the hospitals. But don't just

453
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.799
<v Speaker 7>Hobbard Brown and all the others at Stanford. He's going

454
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.200
<v Speaker 7>after all of them. Why is he doing this.

455
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Linday, You've taken a breath. So I'm just going to

456
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 2>make a quick comment, if you don't mind, go ahead,

457
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:14.680
<v Speaker 2>and that is I don't think you've lived. I'm a conservative,

458
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.880
<v Speaker 2>but no one has ever, in all seriousness listen to

459
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:24.200
<v Speaker 2>my program and thought that I'm sort of a Trump supporter.

460
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I believe that some of the positions he's taken are needed.

461
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I think our border needed to be closed. I think

462
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 2>that people who are in this country and are committing

463
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:43.359
<v Speaker 2>criminal actions against Americans need to be deported. Okay. I

464
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>have been critical of the pace of what he's done,

465
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the number of causes that he has taken on, and

466
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:55.000
<v Speaker 2>if you listen to me tonight, implicit in my comments

467
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.559
<v Speaker 2>was that I think he may be overreaching in his

468
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:04.599
<v Speaker 2>efforts to to criticize and change Harvard's philosophy. I quoted

469
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Pinker, who is a conservative on college at Harvard,

470
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:14.079
<v Speaker 2>who was saying exactly that. So you know, you can

471
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:16.359
<v Speaker 2>think of me any way you want. Your point of

472
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 2>view is always welcome here on any night, on any issue,

473
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:24.640
<v Speaker 2>and find another talk show in America. Where you will

474
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 2>have as many different points of view as nightside. I

475
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:29.039
<v Speaker 2>don't think you'll find one.

476
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:32.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm not trying to compare you with somebody any other

477
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 7>talk show, because I don't listen. I never listened to

478
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:39.039
<v Speaker 7>any other talk show, so I can't compare you with anybody.

479
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.279
<v Speaker 7>And it doesn't really matter. It's more what we're talking

480
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:48.160
<v Speaker 7>about is this show, and it just is scary, and

481
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:51.079
<v Speaker 7>I think people need to be a little bit more

482
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:54.920
<v Speaker 7>focused on what is happening. You know, I have friends

483
00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:57.319
<v Speaker 7>that are Jewish or whatever, and I wish the Jewish

484
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.799
<v Speaker 7>community would stand up. I mean, the student a right.

485
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:04.960
<v Speaker 7>I believe in the students having rights to give their opinion,

486
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 7>whether you agree with them or not.

487
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.720
<v Speaker 2>They have Linda, Linda, they have the right. Students have

488
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 2>the right to their opinion. They do not have to

489
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.079
<v Speaker 2>They do not have the right to prevent other students

490
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:18.400
<v Speaker 2>from going to class. They do not have the right

491
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to insult students who happen to be Jewish. What has

492
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.000
<v Speaker 2>gone on in college campuses towards Jewish students in the

493
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:31.000
<v Speaker 2>wake of October seventh has been abysmo abismo. So that's

494
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>one that you and I might disagree on.

495
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:39.160
<v Speaker 7>So well, I saw when I saw there really demonstrating

496
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.319
<v Speaker 7>wasn't to do with because of being against Jewish people.

497
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.880
<v Speaker 7>It's the fact of what was going on in Gaza,

498
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 7>about thousands such when.

499
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:55.559
<v Speaker 2>They when they chant, when they chant from the river

500
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.200
<v Speaker 2>to the sea, do you know what that means? Well,

501
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:03.440
<v Speaker 2>you have no idea. What that means is get rid

502
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 2>of Israel from the river to the sea, from the

503
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Jordan river to the sea. Linda, we've gone about eight

504
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:14.599
<v Speaker 2>minutes here, and actually we've gone a little We've gone

505
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>about seven minutes. Do me a favor, continue to listen

506
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:20.599
<v Speaker 2>this program. Call more often. I need your voice. I

507
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 2>want to have a balanced audience.

508
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:24.799
<v Speaker 7>And I mean yes, I said I have Jewish friends.

509
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:29.440
<v Speaker 7>Has nothing to do with being cherished Jewish children killed.

510
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, Well there were a lot of children and

511
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of infants who were killed on October seventh, Linda.

512
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:37.680
<v Speaker 2>And if that attack had never occurred, guys who would

513
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:39.839
<v Speaker 2>not have been bombed. But we'll leave that. Let's leave

514
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:41.039
<v Speaker 2>that for our next conversation.

515
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:42.359
<v Speaker 4>Fair enough, okay.

516
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:43.480
<v Speaker 7>And it's still going.

517
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.680
<v Speaker 2>At them and they will and they should. Thanks Linda,

518
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 2>to talk to you soon. We'll take a break. We'll

519
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 2>be right back. I'm going to try to get everybody in.

520
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Went along with Linda, because I want to make the

521
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker 2>point that all points of view are welcome here. Doesn't

522
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:58.119
<v Speaker 2>mean that I'm not going to engage you in a conversation,

523
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 2>but you're welcome. We'll be back on Nightside right after this.

524
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.400
<v Speaker 1>It's Nice Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news Radio.

525
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Very rarely do I check my messages during the show,

526
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:14.719
<v Speaker 2>but Jim writes, oh my god, your show more points

527
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:18.280
<v Speaker 2>of view than any show I've listened to. Apparently Linda

528
00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:21.320
<v Speaker 2>doesn't listen too often. I hope Linda listens more often,

529
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.400
<v Speaker 2>and I hope she calls more often. We got four calls.

530
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to try to get everybody in, so everybody's

531
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.239
<v Speaker 2>going to get a little short changed. I apologize for that.

532
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Matt in Pembroke. Matthew and Pembroke, Matth

533
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:33.400
<v Speaker 2>go right ahead, sir.

534
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.679
<v Speaker 8>Hey Dan, I'll make it quick. Every time I'm in

535
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.039
<v Speaker 8>the car, and it's just the more I listen, the

536
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.960
<v Speaker 8>more it just gets me going. I work hard, I

537
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:46.519
<v Speaker 8>do a lot of overtime. I do really well for myself,

538
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:48.519
<v Speaker 8>but I pay a lot of taxes I've hid thirty

539
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:53.920
<v Speaker 8>thousand dollars in pedrol taxes. They have the gall to

540
00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:58.039
<v Speaker 8>ask for money be given two billion dollars when they

541
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:02.000
<v Speaker 8>have a war chest. They sound more like a financial institution.

542
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 8>I think these people that are up at the top

543
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.800
<v Speaker 8>of the should take a hat, pooping it and pull

544
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 8>it down over their freaking heads because they don't deserve

545
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:18.079
<v Speaker 8>They're a financial institution. They're not a university.

546
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh Jim, we let that one in very descriptive.

547
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 8>All right, so I won't hold you much longer, Dan, Dan,

548
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 8>you do a great job. You're very diverse with your callers,

549
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:32.159
<v Speaker 8>and you do a great job.

550
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:32.639
<v Speaker 4>Keep it up.

551
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Matt, thanks so much. I want you to

552
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.880
<v Speaker 2>call more off and I enjoyed the call. Thank you,

553
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much. Let's go to Walter and Debt.

554
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 1>HM.

555
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Walter, how are you?

556
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:43.199
<v Speaker 6>Hi?

557
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:48.079
<v Speaker 5>How you doing this? I'm calling what Donald Trump wants

558
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:50.960
<v Speaker 5>to do because they're getting out of control with the

559
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 5>university's taxi SENSI. Now the people are coming out of

560
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.679
<v Speaker 5>the radicalized. They're supposed to they're not supposed to be

561
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:01.920
<v Speaker 5>doing that. So if they come out, what they should

562
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:06.000
<v Speaker 5>do is take a tax exemption from the universities, no

563
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:09.159
<v Speaker 5>matter which one it is. I mean, they have reason

564
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:11.599
<v Speaker 5>for going to school, and it's not just to go

565
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:16.119
<v Speaker 5>out come out radicalized. I'm sorry, that's the way I feel.

566
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's okay. I think again. I think that that

567
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 2>that some people go into into college and they go

568
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.760
<v Speaker 2>into the into it with the attitude I'm gonna listen

569
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.119
<v Speaker 2>to what the teacher said. I'm not talking about in math,

570
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.280
<v Speaker 2>there's there's only rights and wrong answers in in math,

571
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:37.440
<v Speaker 2>for example, you know, if you put two two on

572
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the board to a two plus two, it has to

573
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.159
<v Speaker 2>be four. But when you're in a sociology class, you're

574
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 2>in a psychology class, you're in a polypsyd class, you're

575
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.199
<v Speaker 2>in all of those so called you know, soft humanities

576
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 2>or whatever points of view come in and whether you

577
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:55.119
<v Speaker 2>support this point of view or that point of view.

578
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:56.880
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of students go in and say, look,

579
00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna, you know, regurgitate back what the professor

580
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:03.559
<v Speaker 2>tells me because my grade is most important. And that's

581
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 2>unfortunate because a lot of professors have a position of

582
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:10.119
<v Speaker 2>authority simple as simple as that, So I understand what

583
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:12.880
<v Speaker 2>you're saying. And then others go in and and they

584
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.159
<v Speaker 2>get kind of blown away. They don't think for themselves.

585
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 2>And the idea is the same thing with I want

586
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.960
<v Speaker 2>people to call this program who think for themselves. I

587
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.039
<v Speaker 2>want people who call this program not to regurgitate what

588
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I have to say. If they agree with me, fine

589
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:28.760
<v Speaker 2>tell me why give me an argument why you agree.

590
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Just that's that's all we're trying to say here. I

591
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:35.199
<v Speaker 2>want this program to be something that that is, that's

592
00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that's entertaining, and that that's informative. Uh, and maybe causes

593
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:44.840
<v Speaker 2>people to think. That's what we're talking about. I appreciate

594
00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.000
<v Speaker 2>your call so much, Walter.

595
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.519
<v Speaker 5>What I'm talking about, Dan, is they go into college,

596
00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 5>and once they come out radicalized, they should take the

597
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:57.320
<v Speaker 5>text exemptions away from whichever columns they're coming out of.

598
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I understand that position. I understand that position. I'm

599
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:06.719
<v Speaker 2>not in favor of taking tax you know, exemptions away

600
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 2>from colleges, churches, and hospitals because they do a lot

601
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:12.159
<v Speaker 2>for our society. But we can disagree on that. But

602
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.639
<v Speaker 2>I certainly am very concerned about colleges that are not balanced,

603
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.280
<v Speaker 2>that colleges that they want diversity, equity, inclusion, but they

604
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want any philosophical diversity. That's the point I was

605
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:27.400
<v Speaker 2>trying to make. Thank you, Walter, thank you appreciate it

606
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:29.800
<v Speaker 2>all right. I got David in San Francisco. David, were

607
00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:31.559
<v Speaker 2>really tight on time. You got to get right to it.

608
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:34.639
<v Speaker 9>Go right ahead, Oh, I can do it pretty quick.

609
00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

610
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:39.119
<v Speaker 9>Nine hundred years ago, the Magna CARDI got put together

611
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:43.239
<v Speaker 9>because the old King of England was not looking out

612
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:48.760
<v Speaker 9>for the people, and the people needed repairs from medical

613
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:53.440
<v Speaker 9>problems at cholera and smallpox and black plague and whatnot,

614
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:57.639
<v Speaker 9>and the king wasn't doing anything about it. So universities

615
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:01.519
<v Speaker 9>were put together once they've broke free from the king.

616
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:08.039
<v Speaker 9>Universities were put together to help combat diseases. Universities were

617
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:11.119
<v Speaker 9>put together to put together law schools so that the

618
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 9>people would be able to have representation. Harvard provides a

619
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.239
<v Speaker 9>medical school, it provides law school. And Trump is obviously

620
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.639
<v Speaker 9>a criminal. He's trying to avoid Okay, he's you.

621
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Know, David again, if you want to go off and

622
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:28.559
<v Speaker 2>call people criminals, I mean that's not what we do here,

623
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.679
<v Speaker 2>you know that. So hit the planks for me, if

624
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:33.079
<v Speaker 2>you please, and we're going to have a gonna dump

625
00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.880
<v Speaker 2>David in San Francisco, Harvard. Have a great night, David,

626
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:39.480
<v Speaker 2>probably again, let me get Matt and Charlton. Matt got

627
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:41.639
<v Speaker 2>I got about thirty seconds for you. What can you

628
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:42.039
<v Speaker 2>do with it?

629
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:46.599
<v Speaker 10>Matt, Damn, I just fail that if if they're going

630
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:48.960
<v Speaker 10>to do that to the colleges, they should do it

631
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 10>to the churches as well, and maybe not a tax,

632
00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:53.840
<v Speaker 10>but a payment in lieu of taxes, like a pilot

633
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 10>program of some sort.

634
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:56.800
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, a lot. Well, there are a lot of

635
00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 2>schools that do do payments in lieu of taxes. Interesting point,

636
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Matt and I tend to believe that that we should

637
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:10.760
<v Speaker 2>give churches, hospitals and university college's a tax break. My

638
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:13.039
<v Speaker 2>friend Bob and who's as good a friend of mine

639
00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:16.000
<v Speaker 2>as anybody who calls this program disagrees. That's what this

640
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:17.639
<v Speaker 2>show is all about. Matt.

641
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 4>Agree, you do a great job. I appreciate you you

642
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:22.679
<v Speaker 4>talk about I have a great night.
