WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:01.560 It's nice eye. 2 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:05.960 Undoing Razy Boston's news radio. 3 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.839 All right, I remember before coming up here on a 4 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.359 Tuesday night. I'm very happy with tonight's show. I want 5 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.000 you to know I don't say that all the time, 6 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:22.199 but I think that. My last guest, uh, Lou Ferrante. Again, 7 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:25.359 the book is just you know, if you're interested in 8 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.239 you organized crime and all of that, it is a 9 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.839 real must read. It's a trilogy. There's one called Rise 10 00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.200 of the Empire, Rise of Empire, borgata is the uh 11 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.240 uh is is one of the words, but Rise of Empire, 12 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.200 and then this was Clash of the Titans, a history 13 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.920 of the American mafia, and the other is Autumn of Empire. 14 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.280 So if you're into interested and again, Lou Ferranti is 15 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.560 a fabulous guest. And uh, he's just somebody who knows 16 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.600 what he's talking about, which is which is an important 17 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.200 thing to be a guest on this program. I want 18 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.280 to thank John Featherstone. During the nine o'clock hour, we 19 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.359 had a long and a very interesting conversation about abuses 20 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:09.920 that have gone on in the Massachusetts shelter system. And 21 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.599 I think the Governor's office, Governor Heally's going to have 22 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.920 a lot of explaining to do about this what she 23 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.159 knew when she knew it. And if you read both 24 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.319 the Globe and the Herald this morning tomorrow morning, I 25 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.040 think you'll see a lot more information about a report 26 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:28.319 that the State Republican Party has been able to bring 27 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.799 to the light of public a public day. Put it 28 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.439 like that, bring it to the light of day. Now 29 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.359 I want to talk about Donald Trump. Look, today is 30 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:47.319 the seventh of January, and two weeks from now, Donald 31 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:52.680 Trump will be president of these United States. His election 32 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.879 was certified yesterday. We talked about that last night. I 33 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:58.959 was kind of surprised so many people didn't pick up 34 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.760 on what I was trying to say last night. But 35 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.120 that's okay. I think that we will hopefully always look back. 36 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.479 And however you felt about the twenty twenty election that 37 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.560 what happened on January sixth in twenty twenty one is 38 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.120 an anomaly that should never be repeated in this country 39 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.400 again in my opinion, but we'll push that aside. Today 40 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.840 President Trump held something of a news conference in his 41 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.120 own style, and of course his style is to talk 42 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.360 quite a bit in sort of a statement, opening statement, 43 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.240 or whatever you want to call it. The Boston Globe 44 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.759 has already posted an interesting article written by Kendall Wright, 45 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.879 from wales and windmills in Massachusetts to the Next Thing 46 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:51.199 to Panama Canal. Five takeaways from Trump's press conference. Obviously, 47 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.479 we will say President elect Trump. So we have a 48 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:57.520 little bit of what the President had to say today, 49 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.319 and I'd like to focus because I think that there's 50 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.240 some substance in what he's talking about, whether you agree 51 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:09.240 or disagree, certainly the whales and the windmills situation. He 52 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.639 says that he will stop windmills. At the same time, 53 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.280 Joe Biden is attempting to stop literally all offshore drilling 54 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.000 around anywhere around the United States. But let us start 55 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.520 with the first of three bites from the president because 56 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.800 each of these bites, these sound bites have some interesting 57 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:30.599 some interest in The first one is about a minute long, 58 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.719 and he talks about Greenland and the Panama Canal. He's 59 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:41.319 questioned by a reporter and it's interesting. I mean, he 60 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.159 takes the question and he responds to the question, which 61 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.719 I think, whether you like Donald Trump or not, is 62 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.719 going to be a little different from what we've dealt 63 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.960 with in the last four years. This is cut number eighteen, 64 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.840 Rob Can you assure. 65 00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.159 The world that as you try to get control of 66 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.240 these areas, you are not going to use military or 67 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:04.400 economic coercion? 68 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.879 No, can you tell us a little bit about what 69 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.560 your plan is. Are you going to negotiate a new treaty? 70 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.479 Are you going to ask the Canadians to hold the vote? 71 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.759 What does the strategy? 72 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.480 I can't assure you. You're talking about Panama and Greenland. No, 73 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.160 I can't assure you on either of those two. But 74 00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.519 I can say this, we need them for economic security. 75 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.560 The Panama Canal was built for a military I'm not 76 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:32.600 going to commit to that now. 77 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.360 It might be that you'll have to do something. 78 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.600 Look, the Panama Canal is vital to our country. It's 79 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.160 being operated by China. China, and we gave the Panama 80 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.279 Canal to Panama. We didn't give it to China, and 81 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.720 they've abused it. They've abused that gift that should have 82 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.680 never been made. By the way, giving the Panama Canal 83 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.120 is why Jimmy Carter lost the election. In my opinion, 84 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.240 more so maybe than the hostages. 85 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.000 I don't think we ever should have given away the 86 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:07.360 Panama Canal, and I still don't understand why it happened. 87 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.879 It is a very important access point between the Atlantic 88 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:19.120 and the Pacific Ocean. Now the globe, as is their right. 89 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.399 They pointed out that it's run The Panama Canal is 90 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:33.839 run by two companies. A Hong Kong company manages two 91 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.439 ports at the canal entrance. But any subsidiary of a 92 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.959 Hong Kong company is not functioning without some oversight from 93 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.600 the Chinese government. And China has made a lot of 94 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.560 military footprints in certain parts of South and Central America, 95 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:02.199 and that is something that I think Trump it would 96 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.759 be it would be a good thing for us to 97 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.120 regain control of the Panama Canal. And as the President 98 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.480 X says, we built it, not you and me, but 99 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:18.319 our ancestors built it, and at great cost financially and 100 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.759 also the cost of deaths, thousands of deaths from malaria. 101 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.240 So that's Donald Trump of the Panama Canal. He's a 102 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.680 little bit more on the Panama Canal, and I'd love 103 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.800 to know if you agree or disagree with him. I 104 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:42.839 don't think Panama remember remember Noriega. Noriega was the dictator 105 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.600 in Panama that after we had given the canal. George 106 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.560 Bush administration was in charge of taking him out, and 107 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.199 he eventually stood trial in Miami for all sorts of 108 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.240 criminal charges. This is Donald Trump cut eighteen A. 109 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.600 Please rob talking about Panama and Greenland. No, I can't 110 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.879 assure you on either of those two, but I can 111 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.600 say this, we need them for economic security. The Panama 112 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.600 Canal was built for a military I'm not going to 113 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.360 commit to that now. It might be that he'll have 114 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:22.240 to do something. Look, the Panama Canal is vital to 115 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:27.120 our country. It's being operated by China. China, and we 116 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.560 gave the Panama Canal to Panama. We didn't give it 117 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.079 to China, and they've abused it. They've abused that gift 118 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.480 that should have never been made. By the way, giving 119 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.199 the Panama Canal is why Jimmy Carter lost the election, 120 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.040 in my opinion, more so maybe than the hostages. 121 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.000 So again, I think you're going to hear a lot 122 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:49.839 about that. And by the way, Manuel Noriega, who died 123 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:55.240 in two thou and seventeen, lived a pretty long life. 124 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:01.720 He was in prison when he died. He ran Panama 125 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.839 from nineteen eighty three to nineteen eighty nine, and he 126 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:13.160 had an interesting relationship with members of the US Intelligence 127 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:19.040 Services beginning way back in the nineteen fifties, and was 128 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:24.079 at a point in time according to information I'm looking 129 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:30.480 at here an intelligence source for the Central Intelligence Agency. 130 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:36.519 But things turned and he eventually was was taken out 131 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:42.720 of power by it was the Bush administration, and then 132 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.759 he eventually was tried and convicted of drugging weapons charges 133 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:51.159 here in the United States. And if I'm not mistaken, 134 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:55.799 I believe he died in jail. So pretty tough end 135 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:03.279 to a life that was it's interesting, to say the least, okay. 136 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.200 And then the other comment that the President Trump of 137 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:12.200 President elect Trump made today was again his demand, I 138 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.200 guess would be the best way to describe it, his 139 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:20.240 demand that the Gaza, the hostages and Gaza Gaza be released. 140 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:21.200 This is cut nineteen. 141 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.679 All hell will break out if those hostages aren't back. 142 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.159 I don't want to hurt your negotiation. 143 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.000 If they're not back by the time I get into office, 144 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.480 all hell will break out in the Middle East, and 145 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.279 it will not be good for Hamas and it will 146 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.960 not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out. 147 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.039 I don't have to say anymore, but that's what it is. 148 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.840 And they should have given them back a long time. 149 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.399 They should have never taken them. They should have never 150 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.879 been the attack of October seventh. People forget that, but 151 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:55.559 there was, and many people are killed. They're no longer hostages. 152 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:02.440 So that's one that I think as of January twenty first, 153 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:06.320 two weeks from today, if those hostages are still being 154 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.519 held captive in Gaza, I think there'll be a lot 155 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.039 of questions that will be asked of the then president 156 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:18.519 currently the president elect. By the way, just a quick 157 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:23.639 clarification on Noriega. Noriega was in prison self of a 158 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:27.519 brain hemorrhage during surgery, and he had been under house arrest, 159 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.000 and he died in two thousand and seven at the 160 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:36.039 age of eighty three. So I think let's get the 161 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.159 Panama Canal back. I think that there's ways in which 162 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.720 that could be negotiated. Now Greenland, I don't understand that one, 163 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:48.120 but maybe some of you do. So let's look ahead. 164 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.279 Later on this week, we will certainly on Thursday, be 165 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.919 talking about Jimmy Carter, President Carter. That will be a 166 00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.879 national day of morning on Thursday, as I'm sure you know, 167 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.360 and we will also have as a guest on that 168 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.919 night at nine o'clock Harvey Silverglade to talk about how 169 00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:13.679 much surveillance our country should be able to do on 170 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.720 ISIS related sites. We talked about that a week ago 171 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.279 and someone had said that love to know what Harvey 172 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.399 Silverglade thought. And we will hear from Harvey Silverglade at 173 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.399 nine o'clock on that issue on Thursday night, and then 174 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.519 probably on Thursday night spend a lot of the time 175 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:34.720 later on talking about the life and times of Jimmy Carter. 176 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.480 If you like to talk about President elect Trump, and 177 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.200 I want to know what do you think about Panama. 178 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.320 I say, let's take Panama back, Let's try to do 179 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:48.960 it through negotiations. But I think that we have a 180 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:54.559 manifested destiny, a Moro doctorate here that exists in America, 181 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.919 and Panama certainly falls under that, and I think that 182 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.720 Donald Trump is aware of that. I think also the 183 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:06.120 idea year of purchasing Greenland or working having access in Greenland. Also, 184 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.720 I think that there's sort of a manifest destiny concept 185 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:17.639 of that it is in our hemisphere and the northern 186 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:24.639 hemisphere Canada. I don't think that Canada's Canada will become 187 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:27.720 the fifty first state, but I do think that there's 188 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.639 a way in which we can have a US Canadian 189 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:38.399 alliance more formal, perhaps even closer in terms of both 190 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:41.919 economic and military. So I think there are ways in 191 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.519 which Donald Trump in his four years second term, that 192 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.559 he can be proactive on international issues. And who knows, 193 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:58.279 he may He may surprise some people pleasantly, or he 194 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.919 may fall back into his pattern in practice of his 195 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.759 first term and alienate people. It's interesting today I guess 196 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.840 that Meta has decided to take down the concept of 197 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:17.679 fact checkers after Mark Zuckerberg met with President elect Trump. 198 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:24.279 A lot of the high tech billionaires are contributing substantial 199 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.000 sums to the inauguration. I think Donald Trump is arriving 200 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:35.639 in Washington with to a much warmer reception than he 201 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.879 received eight years ago in twenty seventeen. So we're going 202 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:43.639 to talk about President Electrump, what he wants to accomplish. 203 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:49.279 Are you concerned? Are you optimistic? Two weeks from right now, 204 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.240 Donald Trump will be the forty seventh president of the 205 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.919 United States. We'll get to phone calls right after the 206 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.960 break six seven, two, five, four ten thirty one line 207 00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:02.840 there six seven ninth free, one ten thirty always looking 208 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.720 to hear from folks locally, but also we invite you 209 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.679 to call if you're listening far away, love to know 210 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.000 what the feeling is in your part of the country 211 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.440 as we approach the inauguration of the forty seventh President 212 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.720 of the United States. Coming back on Nightside right after this. 213 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.679 Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World 214 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.919 Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio. 215 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.240 All right, let's go to the Phone's gonna go to 216 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.759 Glenn and Brighton. First up, Glenn, welcome, you were first 217 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.320 this our Nightside. Glenna, run ahead. 218 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:34.600 You're happy New Year. 219 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.519 By the way, Happy New Year to you as well. 220 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.840 Thanks. 221 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:38.519 Yeah. 222 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.120 As a Trump supporter, I'm with him on one issue 223 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.480 and against him on the other. I'm with him on 224 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:47.559 Panama totally. In fact, I didn't know I owed Joanne 225 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.200 from walking him an apology. I didn't know he gave away. 226 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:55.120 I remember Steve Velli. She told him he's Jimmy's not liberal, 227 00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.240 He's just lame. And then I got mad and said, 228 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.960 you're leaving for Colin Carter Lane. But now I didn't know. 229 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.000 I must have missed that. 230 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:07.320 I didn't know President Carter decided to give control of 231 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:14.240 the Panama Canal to the Panamanian government, and I don't 232 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.639 think there was much that we received in return for it. 233 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.879 And it might have been that was a period of 234 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.080 time when post Vietnam and we were kind of pulling 235 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.480 our horns in from around the world. There was a 236 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.200 time in which we were looking very much inward in 237 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.919 this country. And that I heard we only got a dollar. 238 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.240 I don't know if that's true or not. But well, 239 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:40.559 as I say, gave it away, so we got a dollar. 240 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.720 So so you're in favor of Panama. But what about 241 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:46.720 if Denmark wants to sell us Greenland. 242 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.639 The problem I have with that is, and I know 243 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:54.759 why he wants to sell it. They sell it. I mean, 244 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.279 I know why Trump wants it because he's afraid that 245 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.480 China might get it or Russia might get it. The 246 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.039 problem is with our deficit, with our debt. I hate 247 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:06.480 to say that I'm more isolationist than Trump right now. 248 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:09.039 We need Greenland like a whole in the head. We 249 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.320 can't take care of our home with veterans, you know 250 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:13.000 we can't. 251 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:16.440 I mean, my god, Well, I do think you have 252 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.320 to look at if that opportunity presented itself. I think 253 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.519 you got to look at that and say, okay, would 254 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.000 that be in our best interest? RUC. Remember when Secretary 255 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:30.759 of State Seward bought Alaska. I'm sure in that days 256 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.960 the people say, oh, it was called Seward's folly. Remember, 257 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:38.320 I know you weren't alied back then. But no, eighteen 258 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.840 sixty seven, the investment in Alaska turned out pretty well, 259 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:44.559 that's true. 260 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.000 No, it might it's it's I mean, it's a gamble. 261 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:49.399 It might work. No, fine, I mean then, I mean 262 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:53.559 Greenlay is not known for MS thirteen and crimes, and 263 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.320 well it only has about I. 264 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.440 Think I read something tonight and early is about fifty 265 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.519 six thousand. I think it was a sparsely settled country. 266 00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.480 There's no tubt about that. Sparsely say. 267 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.079 Yeah, and I and I like his idea of calling 268 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.039 New Mexico is in America. 269 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.559 He's talking about talking about the Gulf of Mexico called 270 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:18.839 the Golf of America. 271 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:20.960 Yeah, the Golf of Mexico. 272 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.759 I don't know how you do that. I mean, I 273 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.039 don't know if it's a you know, map makers or 274 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.680 whomever decides when something's named. I guess we could start 275 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.039 to call anything we wanted to call it. But I 276 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:39.279 don't know if if even a bill passing Congress signed 277 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:41.920 by the President would be recognized by I don't know, 278 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.960 that's it I have. If anybody knows the answer to 279 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.960 that question. I'm kind of curious about that. I mean, yeah, yeah, 280 00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.920 all right, Brian, appreciate it, Benn Glenn. 281 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:54.880 What am I saying, Brian? 282 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.519 No, no, no, I was just reading. I just looked 283 00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.960 here that a young guy who pitched to the Baltimore Orioles. 284 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.960 Apparently he was pronounced dead today. He's only thirty seven 285 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.359 years old. I mean, Brian Mattoose. I remember him as 286 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.279 a left handed pitcher for the Orioles, and it just 287 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.559 came across the wires. You know baseball, Well, I do 288 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.519 know baseball, and I remember Matoose. He's very effective left 289 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.880 handed pitcher, you know, not you know, a Hall of 290 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:24.079 Famer by any stretch of the imagination, had some good 291 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:25.240 seasons with the Orioles. 292 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.039 You know. One more quick thing. I hope we do 293 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.720 listed this year. I know it's not you know, we 294 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:31.880 didn't do it last year. 295 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:34.480 But yeah, I don't know. We're still working trying to 296 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.279 do something with the Winnkers. Okay, keep that in mind, 297 00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:40.640 all right, all right, talk to you lady. Thanks, Thanks Glenn. 298 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.119 Thanks all right, let me go to Gary Wuober and 299 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.920 Gary next on nights. I go right ahead, I'll. 300 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.359 Make it fast and I'll try to stay on subject. Shake, 301 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.400 rattle and roll. That's what Trump is all about now 302 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.200 that he's president and so forth. I'm sure you're impressed 303 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.480 with everything he's doing, Dan, because I mean, I remember 304 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.039 you and sun No talking like Gray and nobody ever 305 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.200 even talking about tariffs. What do you think about him 306 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.680 just attacking the tariffs? 307 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.200 What do I think about Trump attacking the tariffs? 308 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.319 She said, yeah, yeah, being aggressive to make sure the 309 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:16.720 United States makes money. 310 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.839 Yeah. Well, the economists argue about that all the time. 311 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.079 By the way, Dons soon that I'm going to believe 312 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.400 that everything that Donald Trump does it's a good idea. 313 00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:29.480 I want to give him a chance to be successful 314 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:35.200 as a president. Okay, And I still very much admire 315 00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.759 Chris Sanunu, who's a great guy. Was a great governor. 316 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.200 I think was the best governor in the country. So 317 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.839 you're never going to going to talk me off my 318 00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:48.680 admiration of my friendship for Kris Sanunu. But but when 319 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.160 whatever Donald Trump does wants to try to do, we'll 320 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.000 look at it. I mean, I don't think we're going 321 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.720 to invade Greenland. I don't even think we're necessarily going 322 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.440 to invade Panama. I think that we have the ability 323 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.200 economic to say that Panama, look, we gave you this 324 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.000 for a dollar, and there's a new sheriff in town, 325 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.119 there's a new administration in town. We want control of 326 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.960 the Panama Canal back. You can still, We're not going 327 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.599 to bankrupt the country down there, but we want to 328 00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:18.279 make sure that we control access to the Panama Canal 329 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.480 and not companies that are owned by by China or 330 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:25.119 that that are licensed by China. 331 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.200 Yeah, we eric, you know. 332 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.400 So that's all I'm saying. Let's se let's see how 333 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.839 he does. I hope he's successful, because if he's successful, 334 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.640 it's going to be good for you, good for me, 335 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.720 good for our families, good for everyone, simple as that. 336 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.359 I hope that Joe Biden would have been successful. He 337 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:40.720 was not. 338 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.359 He was not now as we know, he was a 339 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.839 pushover for a president. And let me just make these 340 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:50.519 two comments and then I'll go when you said about 341 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.839 comments and so on, I just want to defend you 342 00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:56.720 right now. I am all sup port of about Trump, 343 00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:59.680 but he's also a stumbag when he puts down the 344 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.319 new as a governor of New Hampshion. Remember he says 345 00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.319 he's doing a bad job. He said that, You remember that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 346 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.519 very good. Last point two years ago or in the 347 00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.759 last couple of years, Trudeau was putting him down, and 348 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:16.720 next thing you know, he's how did they tessel two 349 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:18.880 weeks ago? And now he resigned? 350 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:19.880 What do you think of that? Dan? 351 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.400 I'm delighted to see Justin Trudeau resigned because I hope 352 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:28.119 that the Conservatives in Canada can elect a new prime minister. 353 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.559 I guess the parliament up there has been recessed or 354 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.400 put in limbo until sometime in March. He has yet 355 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.599 to resign his prime minister. He's resigned as the head 356 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.240 of the Liberal Party in Canada. But I think that 357 00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.960 his reign in Canada, his time in Canada has kind 358 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.279 of been coincidental with Joe Biden's, and I think they 359 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.480 had both failures. I wish there was another Brian mulrooney 360 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.039 in Canada who would step forward, who was a great 361 00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:58.039 prime minister and who worked very well with Ronald Reagan 362 00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.960 a with George Bush. We need presidents and prime ministers 363 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:03.960 to be on the same page. And if we get 364 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.519 a conservative prime minister in Canada who's willing to work 365 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.519 with Donald Trump, Canada will remain free and independent. It 366 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.519 is a you know, it's it's really ruled by the 367 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.759 King of England, as I'm sure you know. So it's 368 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.599 not going to become the fifty first state. But economically, 369 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.359 we can have agreements with Canada, which are you know, 370 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.279 favorite nation trade status and all of that which can 371 00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:31.319 make Canada stronger and make us stronger. There's a lot 372 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:33.640 of there's a lot that can be done. In my opinion, 373 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.640 nothing would have worked between Trump and Trudeau. Simple is 374 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:37.319 that the only. 375 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.839 Thing that had in nuclear times. So we say that 376 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:42.599 Happy days here again. 377 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.480 No, that's a democratic theme song that was for Franklin Roosevelt. 378 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.799 Because no, no, no, you cat you can you can. 379 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:54.319 You can just sing the y MCA song and it'll 380 00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:58.640 be all said. Okay, thanks Gary, good night, all right, 381 00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:03.680 we'll keep rolling here. If you can take Gary off, 382 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.640 that's great. We'll take a quick break here. It's eleven 383 00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.640 thirty two or a couple of minutes late for the news. 384 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.400 Got one line that just failed. If you want to 385 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.160 call in and talk about This is the first time 386 00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:15.839 we talked about President elect and Trump at what he's 387 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.240 going to do, and he talked today about it. He 388 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.559 chose the seventh of January, the day after the electors 389 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.400 had confirmed to be president, and it did. It went. 390 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.720 It went very well yesterday. And I've said before and 391 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.559 I'll say it again, I congratulate Vice President Harris. I'm 392 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.559 sure it was not one of her favorite moments, but 393 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:40.039 she handled herself very well. And let us hope that 394 00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.960 forever more transitions of power in this country remain peaceful. 395 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.160 We don't need to talk about that more tonight, but 396 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:50.200 if you like to talk about what we're talking about 397 00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:57.359 tonight six, we'll get you through.
