WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>It's nice eyes unelling Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm number four coming here on Monday nine,

3
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:13.839
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to change topics we had. Uh, there was,

4
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 2>It's just funny. There's an interesting story that happened this afternoon.

5
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 2>The JFK Library over in Dorchester was temporarily closed due

6
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>to I'm not sure what. Uh. The The Globe headline

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 2>says closed due to workers sudden dismissal, and the National

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Archive says the JFK Library will reopen on Wednesday. Now,

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 2>this was fairly high up. It might have even been

10
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>the lead story on the Channel five newscast. I was

11
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to flip back and forth between four and five.

12
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>And of course, there's no reason for the JFK Library

13
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 2>to be closed. It's uh, it's it's funded, it's open.

14
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Apparently there are some people who were there as employees

15
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>on probation. They hadn't received the equivalent of tenure, which

16
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>to me is kind of an interesting concept. And it

17
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:20.159
<v Speaker 2>may be that as a consequence that've lost some jobs.

18
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>I hope not, but people lose jobs in the private

19
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>sector every day of the week. But it caused quite

20
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 2>a kerfuffle, and when you think about all that's going

21
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>on down in Washington. One name comes to mind. You

22
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>would think it would be Donald Trump's name, who would

23
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>come to mind, And yes, that is one name that

24
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 2>comes to mind. But the name Elon Musk, the head

25
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>of the Department of Governmental Efficiency, also comes to mind. Now,

26
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk is has been the focus of a lot

27
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>of the demonstrations that we have seen in recent days,

28
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure will be the focus of demonstrations that

29
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>we have seen in other times. But Elon Musk is

30
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>to some people a hero, some people he's a villain,

31
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>and he's a fascinating character. Whatever you think of him,

32
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>He's somebody who has made immense wealth, immense wealth. For

33
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a long time, he was kind of a darling of

34
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>the progressive left because he was very much into electric vehicles,

35
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>which many people felt would finally put those gas guzzlers

36
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 2>out of business. Hasn't quite worked out that way. He's

37
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>been an innovator along with Jeff Bezos, and a competitor

38
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.240
<v Speaker 2>with Bezos in terms of the private space craftmanship that

39
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>they have both engaged in. And there was a point

40
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 2>in time where he was a darling of Silicon Valley.

41
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean and all that it represented. And then there

42
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>came a time when he bought Twitter, which is now

43
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>called x and somehow, some way he formed an alliance

44
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>with Donald Trump. And now some people say he's the

45
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>co president. They say Trump is the president. Jd. Vance

46
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>is the vice president. They were both elected, but Elon

47
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Musk is the co president with Donald Trump though he

48
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>was never elected. And it's fascinating to watch what's going

49
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>to happen. And by the way, if you didn't hear

50
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 2>our hour last night at nine o'clock with Professor Jeff

51
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Myron of Harvard University. He's the director of the Undergraduate

52
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Economics Program. He's senior lecturer at Harvard. Check out the

53
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 2>podcast It's last Night, It's nine o'clock News, nine o'clock Hour.

54
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 2>It was really good. We had some great callers in

55
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>that hour, as well as great conversation and clear concise

56
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>answers to questions that were provided by Professor Myron. H

57
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>that that's really important. So Elon Musk now has he's

58
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>he's making some outrageous claims. He's causing incredible disruption. I mean,

59
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 2>whether you agree with it or not, he is. He

60
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 2>has landed in Washington with a thud. He was quoted yesterday.

61
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 2>He had won quote that I caught yesterday, which which

62
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought was interesting, and it does kind of encapsulate

63
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>his transit from where he was a few years ago

64
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>to where he is today. And again there are people

65
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.839
<v Speaker 2>who have you know, there are I can think of

66
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>some Republicans who became Democrats, certainly members of the January

67
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>sixth Committee, who you thought of as Republicans who tended

68
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>to be quite critical of Donald Trump, and whether they

69
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 2>formally left the Republican Party or informally left the Republican Party.

70
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I think of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinsinger, whether they

71
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>were left or allowed themselves to to be to be

72
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 2>cast side whatever. And I can think of Democrats who

73
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>have gone in the other direction. And I'm I think

74
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.639
<v Speaker 2>of Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who now is a Cabinet

75
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>secretary of the Trump administration. I think of a congressman

76
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 2>from New Jersey, last name is Drew D. R. E

77
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 2>W who was a Democrat, now he's a Republican. So

78
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 2>this was Elon Musk in a recent interview, talking about

79
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>realizing that changing his political identity had a price. This

80
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>is cut number four rob cut number four.

81
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I used to be adored by the left,

82
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:42.680
<v Speaker 3>not less, so.

83
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean less I really did it.

84
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean this whole sort of like, you know, it's

85
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 3>like Trump durration syndrome, and I don't you know, you

86
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 3>don't realize how realness is until like it's you can't

87
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 3>reason with people. So like I was at a friend's

88
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 3>birthday party in Ali, his birthday dinner, and there was

89
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.839
<v Speaker 3>like a nice quiet dinner and everything was everyone was

90
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 3>behaving normally. And then I happened to mention this is

91
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 3>before the election, like a month or two before, after

92
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 3>mention the president's name, and it was like they got

93
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>shot with a dart in the jugular that contained like methamphetamine,

94
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 3>and Raby's okay, wow, And I'm like, what is Guys

95
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Like you can't have like a normal conversation and it's

96
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 3>like it's like that to become completely irrational.

97
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 2>So that is Trump that rather, that's Musk explaining his

98
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 2>own experience. So my question to all of you, and

99
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna learn much more about Elon Musk, and he's

100
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>either going to become an outcast and an utter an

101
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 2>abysmal failure at working within Washington, putting aside his prior successes,

102
00:07:54.040 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 2>or he's going to change some very fundamental aspects of

103
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Washington and the minds of some I'm a hero and

104
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>the minds of others a villain. I hate to put

105
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 2>it in those black and white terms, but I want

106
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 2>to hear from you. What are your thoughts about Elon Muskin.

107
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.319
<v Speaker 2>I just want to get a sense of my audience.

108
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six one seven,

109
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. Is he I'll give you.

110
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you three choices. Is he a hero for

111
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>what he's doing? Or is he a villain for what

112
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 2>he's doing? Or he is is he an enigma? And

113
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 2>do you think it's still too early to to figure

114
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>out what the what his end game is? Those are

115
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>the choices hero, villain, enigma Elon musk six one, seven, two, five,

116
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.

117
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>He is at the center of the action right now,

118
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>he calling it appears to me all the shots Donald

119
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Trump is maybe the puppet master. I don't know. I'd

120
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>like to know how you explain the relationship. We'll be

121
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 2>back on nightside. Let's light these phone calls up and

122
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 2>let's talk from now on to midnight about none other

123
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 2>than Elon Musk. Back on Nightside after this.

150
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Good for you, that's Prey. I love you, I've encourage you.

151
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 4>It is hazard ha Okay, and I'll tell you why.

152
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 4>It looks to me that mister Trump is beholden to

153
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 4>mister Musk for his presidency. And I think that we

154
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 4>know why, you know, multi million dollar contributions to the

155
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 4>campaign and et cetera, et cetera. Probably some promises. May

156
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:32.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm speculating here about other promises. Okay. The problem that

157
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 4>as I see it, is this, we have an unelected individual. Okay,

158
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 4>and even if we had an elected individual, but it's

159
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 4>worse that he's unelected given uh, just a just a

160
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:59.039
<v Speaker 4>wide wide swap of arbitrary power without accountability, okay. To me,

161
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:05.480
<v Speaker 4>in principals, that represents a recipe potentially for political hell.

162
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so let me run a couple of a couple

163
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 2>of things by you here. Okay, when Franklin Roosevelt was president,

164
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 2>when wood Row Wilson was president, it is believed that

165
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 2>they both had some some physical or cognitive disabilities in

166
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 2>some form of fashion.

167
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:35.639
<v Speaker 4>Well polio and not even talking about no, I'm not

168
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.000
<v Speaker 4>talking just about polio.

169
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>The idea was that missus Roosevelt and missus Wilson at

170
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.759
<v Speaker 2>some points actually were making decisions. There have been books

171
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 2>written about that.

172
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 4>I think it's more so in the case of missus Wilson.

173
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 2>But you know, there have been books written also whether

174
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.759
<v Speaker 2>or not Nancy Reagan had Now, again, these are the

175
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:07.159
<v Speaker 2>spouses of duly elected presidents. There are certainly Franklin Roosevelt

176
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.639
<v Speaker 2>had what was called his kitchen cabinet. They were not

177
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a cabinet that was approved by the U. S. Senate.

178
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>But every president has advisors, uh and and and relies

179
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 2>upon upon others. I believe. I think that there's a

180
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 2>fairly rich history here. Everything that Musk is doing is

181
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>out in the open, with the the impromter of the

182
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>guy that got elected president.

183
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.039
<v Speaker 4>Mm hmm, I remember, I remember, I'm just.

184
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to Jeff, give you a couple of

185
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 2>counter presidents.

186
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 4>I understand that.

187
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.039
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, yeah, let me give you one more and

188
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>then I'll listen. Bill Richardson, the former a governor of

189
00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 2>New Mexico, has been dispatched by several residents to negotiate

190
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 2>on behalf to do sort of like secret negotiations to

191
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.120
<v Speaker 2>get Americans released from various and sundry countries around the world,

192
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:16.080
<v Speaker 2>including North Korea. It's it happens. It happens. But I

193
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.759
<v Speaker 2>understand the point you're making, but it's not unprecedented.

194
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.639
<v Speaker 4>I see what you're saying. But do you see I

195
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.919
<v Speaker 4>don't know as long. And first of all, I think

196
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.159
<v Speaker 4>a key concept here is out in the open. What

197
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:34.879
<v Speaker 4>we don't want is co wort power being wielded, especially

198
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 4>arbitrary power without accountability to the public, which really is

199
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 4>erosive toward our democratic processes and institutions.

200
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, right, this is this is not covert. This is

201
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 2>this is very significant. I mean, on a scale of significance,

202
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>this dwarfs what what I can think of anyone else.

203
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 2>But in terms of openness, I mean, this is kind

204
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.200
<v Speaker 2>of out there in your face.

205
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.840
<v Speaker 4>I think you know very much for the better, but

206
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 4>there may be some influence being willed that is not

207
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 4>so open, Okay.

208
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, arguably you could say that that by being

209
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.200
<v Speaker 2>this close to the president and being this much of

210
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 2>a uh an emissary or whatever whatever word you want

211
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>to use, that must now will probably any dealings that

212
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:38.799
<v Speaker 2>his companies have with the government will be scrutinized, even

213
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 2>even more so. I don't know, I don't know you're

214
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.039
<v Speaker 2>going to say, you're going to you're going to characterize

215
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.799
<v Speaker 2>him as a hazard. I threw out hero villain. We

216
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 2>now have a fourth term hazard. That's Jeff's true.

217
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:54.320
<v Speaker 4>That's correct.

218
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's see how many people agree with you.

219
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, Well, say you dandy time.

220
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Jeff. They'll be a stranger. Thanks, my friend. Talk

221
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 2>to you soon, hope all as well. By the way,

222
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I haven't talked to you in a long time.

223
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.200
<v Speaker 4>It's been a while. It's refracting to talk again. Bye,

224
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 4>good night.

225
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Let me go to Dave in San Antonio, Texas. Dave,

226
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.279
<v Speaker 2>you were next on Nightside Elon Musk, hero, villain, enigma

227
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 2>or hazard.

228
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, Dave, Well, I would like to redefine the

229
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.519
<v Speaker 4>word hero is just simply a very intelligent advisor. I

230
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 4>think Elon muskis and uh, and I think that he's

231
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.559
<v Speaker 4>bringing to light a lot of facts that find a

232
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:39.399
<v Speaker 4>lot of people in Washington, ZC. Very uncomfortable, and they

233
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 4>don't like those facts being revealed to America. And they're

234
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 4>very offended to the fact that we see how they've

235
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 4>mishandled social Security and will be offended. They'll be very

236
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 4>offended when we find out how they mishandled the I

237
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:53.559
<v Speaker 4>R S. And we.

238
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Hold on just for one second, Dave, I haven't I've

239
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 2>seen some statements that Elon Musk has made, but I

240
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen the factual backup yet. So when you say

241
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be you think social Security has been offended,

242
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>has been handled poorly, I should say, is that based

243
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.799
<v Speaker 2>upon what Musk has said or based upon your own instincts.

244
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.640
<v Speaker 4>You're well, based upon my own instincts and what But

245
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.160
<v Speaker 4>what Musk has said.

246
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, is he said that that that you that you're

247
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 2>referring to.

248
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm just I'm referring to six point five million people

249
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and twelve years older or social Security.

250
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that has been discounted and there have been some

251
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:42.519
<v Speaker 2>very interesting.

252
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:46.839
<v Speaker 4>I understand that that there will be a lot of

253
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.559
<v Speaker 4>people calling it false. But I for I'm sticking with Musk,

254
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.440
<v Speaker 4>And when he says.

255
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>That's fine, Dave, I would not try to dissuade you

256
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>from that. All I would say is that if that

257
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.799
<v Speaker 2>claim is true, I mean, if he said there were

258
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:05.240
<v Speaker 2>sixty five people or six hundred and fifty people who

259
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 2>were taking who were getting so security checks, I I

260
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 2>would say, let me see about that. But when he's

261
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 2>the figure you quoted was six point five million, that is,

262
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.559
<v Speaker 2>if it's true, I mean, that will be the greatest

263
00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:28.319
<v Speaker 2>secret in the history of this country since I guess

264
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 2>the atomic bomb at the end of World War Two.

265
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 4>I just see how they kept beverage. Did you see

266
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 4>where they're keeping the records. Yes, it looks like in a.

267
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Mine in what was a mine in Western God saw that.

268
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>But it's a pretty nice location. Have you Did you

269
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.079
<v Speaker 2>see the interior of it. It's all air conditioned, very

270
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>nicely appointed, nicely appointed. I had a at wisht. I

271
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.440
<v Speaker 2>had a basement which looked as as neat and clean

272
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:04.480
<v Speaker 2>as that I got. Like, I have two or three

273
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:12.160
<v Speaker 2>flau cabinets and they look nothing like that.

274
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 4>When you talk about how you're sticking up for the

275
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.279
<v Speaker 4>Jewish people and all that. Your dad fought World War

276
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:24.200
<v Speaker 4>two and you're a Roman Catholic. I'm Roman Catholic. My

277
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 4>dad fought World War Two. You're sticking up for my

278
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:27.920
<v Speaker 4>dad's people.

279
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that absolutely. All right, David, I appreciate you

280
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.799
<v Speaker 2>your calling the show. We will talk. Let us see.

281
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean when that if, if that proves to be true,

282
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.799
<v Speaker 2>if that proves to be true, that is the biggest

283
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:46.359
<v Speaker 2>biggest story of the last ten years or the last twenty. Yeah, okay,

284
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 2>so let's say, Okay, you got it. So you're putting

285
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>them down as a hero. I'm guessing right.

286
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 4>I respect the man's intelligence. Some guy I ever knew

287
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.480
<v Speaker 4>it could take a rocket, send it to the up

288
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 4>to the space and bring it back down and land

289
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 4>it where he wants to land it. I can't believe

290
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:04.720
<v Speaker 4>he did that, but he did it.

291
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Not bad, not bad. I think they do that with magnets,

292
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.839
<v Speaker 2>if I'm not mistaken. Only kidding, only kidding, Dave, talk

293
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.079
<v Speaker 2>to you later. Have a good one. Good night, don't

294
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>good night. Coming back on Nightside. We got the news

295
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:23.200
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of the hour, only one line six, one, seven, two, five, four,

296
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty elon Musk, hero villain, enigma, or as Jeff said,

297
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.559
<v Speaker 2>hazard coming back after this on Nightside.

298
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:39.640
<v Speaker 1>You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.

299
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's keep rolling here. But that was a

300
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>quick newscast. Let me go to Scott in seekonk. Hey, Scott,

<v Speaker 2>welcome next on Nightside. How are you sir?

302
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.319
<v Speaker 4>Good evening, Dan, Thank you for taking my call. I've

303
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 4>spoken a couple of times to you, a longtime listener.

304
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

305
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 4>I'd like to add another category to your list there.

306
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:05.799
<v Speaker 4>I would like to add dictatorship. They think dictators like

307
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 4>and Hitler they belong in that category is where they belong,

308
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 4>both of them. And she's listening because that's the way

309
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:16.279
<v Speaker 4>we're going. I'm being a little extreme, but I have

310
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 4>to get it out there to get it off my chest.

311
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.319
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm I'm glad you know something that this is

312
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.559
<v Speaker 2>anything that I can do to get people off off

313
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 2>the chest. And and obviously what you said is very interesting.

314
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:28.359
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

315
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't agree with it, but but you have every

316
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>right on this program to express your opinion, whether I

317
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.960
<v Speaker 2>agree with it or not. Your opinion is most important

318
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>when you call. So I don't see it that way.

319
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 2>To be really honest with you, I have an incredible

320
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.960
<v Speaker 2>amount of faith uh in the in the way this

321
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.119
<v Speaker 2>country is structured. Uh And And I'm you know, I'm

322
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 2>telling you what I truly believe, okay, And and I

323
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.480
<v Speaker 2>think that the pendulum swings in this country. My my

324
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.400
<v Speaker 2>next question is going to be who's the next leader

325
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 2>of the Democrat Party. The Democratic Party right now.

326
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.680
<v Speaker 4>Is in shambles, I understand, But I just say to

327
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 4>the country to beware of technology. Beware of technology is

328
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:14.279
<v Speaker 4>the last thing I'm going to say, and I'll leave

329
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 4>it at that.

330
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm complimenting you. I'm telling you that that I

331
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.200
<v Speaker 2>think is always an admonition that we should be aware of.

332
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm that guy who doesn't like to go through the

333
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 2>automatic line at the grocery store. I am beware of technology.

334
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I like to talk to the clerk.

335
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.599
<v Speaker 4>You know. I agree with you, Okay, because as.

336
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Wonderful as those as wonderful as those those little machines,

337
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:50.039
<v Speaker 2>though those kiosks are, they put people out of out

338
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 2>of jobs, and that's not good. I want to see

339
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.400
<v Speaker 2>people working, So I'm bad. We can agree.

340
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for your time, Dan.

351
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 2>That is my plea I want. If you're listening to

352
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.079
<v Speaker 2>this program and you disagree with what people are saying,

353
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.119
<v Speaker 2>oh with what I'm saying, this program is for you, Okay,

354
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:43.160
<v Speaker 2>it is. It is intended to be an exchange of ideas. Period.

355
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.839
<v Speaker 2>I have some ideas, and I express my ideas and

356
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't back off those ideas, and I upset people

357
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 2>on both sides with my my ideas. But that's okay.

358
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's go next to Jamie in Wooster. Jamie, welcome, How

359
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>are you? How much snow you get out there in Worcester?

360
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:08.519
<v Speaker 5>At this point we got actually nothing right now. It's

361
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 5>it's all ice though. It's like an ice.

362
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Cream okay, yeah, bring your ice skates to work week.

363
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:20.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so what you think it's what you got ice? No,

364
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 5>we can't buy rock salt. I go everywhere I went

365
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.039
<v Speaker 5>for my eighty year old, yeah, to buy rock salt.

366
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.920
<v Speaker 5>I couldn't find rock salt anywhere.

367
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.160
<v Speaker 2>You know what they say the time to buy rock

368
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.400
<v Speaker 2>salt is in September.

369
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, oh you should get him some rock salt because

370
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.200
<v Speaker 5>I thought we were getting a storm on Thursday. But

371
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.880
<v Speaker 5>now we'll get a report and I think it's gonna

372
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:43.519
<v Speaker 5>pass us.

373
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:46.400
<v Speaker 2>So we're that they're saying, yeah, this sand's going to

374
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 2>go to the south, but hopefully you can find something.

375
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.400
<v Speaker 5>Because I couldn't find any rock salt anywhere. And I

376
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 5>made like I have my day off today and I

377
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 5>went to like five different stores that couldn't fry rock salt.

378
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's that's a frustrating feeling. So let's talk about

379
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Elon musk Haro villain, hazard, uh enigma, dictator I.

380
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:14.200
<v Speaker 5>Call a hero, but I'm confused at why people are

381
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.839
<v Speaker 5>mad at him for like exposing all the things that

382
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:24.400
<v Speaker 5>we're wasting money on it, you know, like Iraqi transgender

383
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:26.559
<v Speaker 5>sufsame street thing.

384
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.559
<v Speaker 4>And stuff like that.

385
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:32.119
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, what, what's wrong with this guy? He's he's

386
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:37.480
<v Speaker 5>actually pointing out some problems we have. Well, spending money.

387
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to spend that.

388
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:38.920
<v Speaker 4>Money on that.

389
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 5>If I knew that, I wouldn't, you know, as a taxpayer,

390
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:42.680
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't have spent that money on it.

391
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.720
<v Speaker 2>So well, it was funny. I was. I was listening

392
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 2>to Bill Maher recently, and I want to play that.

393
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>This is a kind of Bill Maher. I want you

394
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.799
<v Speaker 2>to react to this. Okay, Okay, yes, this is Bill

395
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Maher who is no fan of Donald Trump. Cut two

396
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>cut to please. What do you think of his last

397
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the first two weeks in office?

398
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 4>What are you think?

399
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.319
<v Speaker 6>There are some things, Well, I said before he took office,

400
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 6>I would not pre hate anything. Now that he's in there,

401
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.759
<v Speaker 6>there's some things I hate, and there's some things I

402
00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 6>don't hate.

403
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you know, it's.

404
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.119
<v Speaker 6>A breath of fresh air as far as like we're

405
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.240
<v Speaker 6>gonna look at things in a way we've never looked

406
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.319
<v Speaker 6>at it before, Like maybe Gaza doesn't have to be

407
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:39.960
<v Speaker 6>this utter hellhole where the people are constantly attacking Israel

408
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:45.039
<v Speaker 6>and they are themselves constantly being attacked by this terrorist organization.

409
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:50.079
<v Speaker 6>That runs them like a mafia. Maybe you know, it's

410
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:53.319
<v Speaker 6>a beautiful area on the beach. Maybe it could be

411
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 6>more like Dubai. Okay, it's great to think about that.

412
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, your your reactions to Bill Maher certainly no supportive

413
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.079
<v Speaker 2>of Donald Trump, seems to be willing to at least

414
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 2>give a look.

415
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:13.160
<v Speaker 5>Right. Well, that's a good thing. And I think you know,

416
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:17.559
<v Speaker 5>if you get no opposite too, well, we're trying to

417
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.559
<v Speaker 5>we're trying to combine. Everybody will be on the same page.

418
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 5>So if some sides can coincide with some of the objectives,

419
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.200
<v Speaker 5>that's a good thing.

420
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:31.880
<v Speaker 2>You know who, I mean who who was in favor

421
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:37.079
<v Speaker 2>of waste or fraud? I don't think that anybody a democratic.

422
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:40.519
<v Speaker 5>I didn't realize we were spending that much money on

423
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 5>a transgender unless we would never know that unless this

424
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 5>Dodge thing was created, you know.

425
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The other thing, by the way, which just to

426
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>support you, that I'd like to mention, is that I

427
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 2>heard Bill Maher and again I heard him at some

428
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 2>point I think today I was just roaming the internet

429
00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>and he was talking about some report from the GAO,

430
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 2>the Government Accounting Office, which is you know, not a

431
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Trump agency. But a couple of years ago they had

432
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:18.880
<v Speaker 2>estimated that fraud This was the GAOS estimate that fraud

433
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:23.079
<v Speaker 2>or waste or whatever was anywhere between every year two

434
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.079
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty one and five hundred and fifty one

435
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars. I mean, just an incredible amount of money.

436
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 2>And and Okay, so now if it's going to get

437
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:36.640
<v Speaker 2>pointed out and maybe we can eliminate it, that's not

438
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 2>a bad thing. I mean that that money can go

439
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>to causes that.

440
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:50.839
<v Speaker 5>The Democrats or Leba is protesting him because he's laying

441
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.599
<v Speaker 5>up of packs that were wasting money on certain things,

442
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 5>and you know, and we got to cut that out,

443
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:57.759
<v Speaker 5>and they don't like that.

444
00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:58.160
<v Speaker 4>You know.

445
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's the deal. All of us pay taxes, and

446
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.680
<v Speaker 2>none of us I don't like paying taxes anymore than

447
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you like paying taxes. But it's, as someone

448
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:12.240
<v Speaker 2>once said, taxes are the cost of civilization. Okay, fine,

449
00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm willing to pay my fair share. I'm willing to pay.

450
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I pay substantially more than my fair share, in my opinion,

451
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:23.400
<v Speaker 2>but I don't mind that. But I want my taxes

452
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:28.119
<v Speaker 2>to go and support a strong military. I want my

453
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:31.960
<v Speaker 2>taxes to support a safety net for people who really

454
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker 2>need some help, because that could be me someday, or

455
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.319
<v Speaker 2>it could be a member of my family. I don't

456
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 2>want my tax money going to fraud or waste or

457
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:46.400
<v Speaker 2>supporting stuff that the government should not be supporting. How

458
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:47.960
<v Speaker 2>radical is that point of view?

459
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 5>No, I agree, Yes, I want my money to go

460
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.920
<v Speaker 5>there too. I'm like, yeah, well, if I'm gonna give

461
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:56.359
<v Speaker 5>my money to the government, they're better go to some

462
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 5>good causes. You know, you got it, you're cutting uh

463
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:01.599
<v Speaker 5>singing Iraq?

464
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:02.440
<v Speaker 4>You know.

465
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's there's some of that stuff. Now again, I

466
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.000
<v Speaker 2>watch I read the Washington Post and they did some

467
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 2>fact checking on it, and they said that some of

468
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the I think the Trump White House Communications Department has

469
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.079
<v Speaker 2>to tighten up a little bit, and they have to

470
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.599
<v Speaker 2>be very because every time they say this is a

471
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.240
<v Speaker 2>program seven million dollars to do X and it's wrong

472
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.799
<v Speaker 2>or it's overstated, they're gonna get jumped out.

473
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 5>They need to be I want to go. I mean,

474
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to get my information correct for the news,

475
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 5>but when I hear this kind of stuff, it just

476
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 5>like goes up my skin. You know, is true?

477
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, I hear you if you listen to night Side.

478
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I will promise you I will try to edit and

479
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.119
<v Speaker 2>uh and check it out. That's kind of my job.

480
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean when when David san Antonio mentioned.

481
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:53.559
<v Speaker 5>I want to get the fact straight, you.

482
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Know, well, I'll try to do it no matter which

483
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 2>way it breaks, particularly in terms of facts. My opinions

484
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.200
<v Speaker 2>could be all over the block. But anything that I

485
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:04.880
<v Speaker 2>represent to you as a fact is going to be

486
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a fact that I will have checked out. That's my pledge.

487
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.839
<v Speaker 5>Okay, okay, great, great, thank you.

488
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that a whole lot. Thanks Jamie. We'll talk soon.

489
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Have a great one.

490
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:17.680
<v Speaker 4>Ye.

491
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:20.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, here we go, let's keep rolling. Going to

492
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:22.599
<v Speaker 2>go to Christine in Denim. Christine, welcome back.

493
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:24.000
<v Speaker 4>How are you good?

494
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:24.559
<v Speaker 7>How are you?

495
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine. Still a little cold man. It's cold out,

496
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:29.799
<v Speaker 2>isn't it.

497
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:34.680
<v Speaker 7>It's cold. It is really cold. I can't take this anymore.

498
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Just hang in there for a couple of weeks. I

499
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 2>think they're saying it might get above thirty two over

500
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. I don't know how about that. Yeah, bikini

501
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 2>weather at that point. Beach beach party, beach beach party, bingo. Right,

502
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 2>So what do you what do you think about Elon

503
00:31:54.160 --> 00:32:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Musk hero villain, dictator but enigma.

504
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:06.279
<v Speaker 7>Okay, okay, yeah, I just don't I know, he hasn't

505
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:08.880
<v Speaker 7>been voted in. I don't know why he's making all

506
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 7>these decisions. I don't understand.

507
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I guess he's being he's given the authority

508
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.319
<v Speaker 2>to make him by the guy that was voted in.

509
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 2>That's that's what the guy that's voted him in would argue.

510
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

511
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:29.920
<v Speaker 7>I don't like that. I really don't. Yeah, whatever happened

512
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 7>to us voting for who we voted for and not

513
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:34.319
<v Speaker 7>who we didn't vote off. That's not right.

514
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, I got I agree with you on that,

515
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.359
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to just say that when when you

516
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:44.079
<v Speaker 2>watch the campaign, there were plenty of times when Donald

517
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Trump had Elon Musk up on stage. So I don't

518
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:51.279
<v Speaker 2>think it's a surprise that Elon Musk has access to

519
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the Oval Office.

520
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:55.359
<v Speaker 4>I know, I don't know.

521
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.000
<v Speaker 7>How that's happening. I really don't.

522
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, he was a big supporter of Donald Trump. They cast,

523
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:05.079
<v Speaker 2>they they teamed up a little bit. You know, I

524
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.880
<v Speaker 2>look at Robert Kennedy. Whoever would have thought of that.

525
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:12.960
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting mix that Trump has somehow been able

526
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:18.279
<v Speaker 2>to pull together Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, these were people

527
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:19.359
<v Speaker 2>who hated Trump.

528
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.799
<v Speaker 7>That's what I'm wondering today, is that what happened. Did

529
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.240
<v Speaker 7>they turn on the Kennedys all of a sudden, this

530
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:29.000
<v Speaker 7>happened today. It's because of Robert, That's what I'm trying

531
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 7>to figure out.

532
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:32.359
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think so. I think here's what I

533
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:35.079
<v Speaker 2>think happened today. And I can't prove this. I think

534
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>somebody said nope, for the best. I'm as far as

535
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I could tell all the networks reporters today that the

536
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>JFK Library was the only library that closed. The closed

537
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:48.599
<v Speaker 2>at two o'clock this afternoon. It will reopen tomorrow morning.

538
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.799
<v Speaker 2>It could be that someone inside the JFK Library misinterpreted

539
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:55.839
<v Speaker 2>some message they got from the National Archives, which in

540
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:02.519
<v Speaker 2>effect is responsible to the JFK Library. A dumb somebody

541
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:06.319
<v Speaker 2>made a dumb decision. Yeah, thank thank god, it'll be

542
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 2>open tomorrow. It's a beautiful it's a beautiful facility. I've

543
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.639
<v Speaker 2>been there many many times, and uh, I always look,

544

<v Speaker 7>Too, Yes, I've been there a couple of times.

546
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, always worth, always worth the visit. Christine, I

<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's try to get everybody in. Mike and Topsfield, Mike,

<v Speaker 2>put Mike on hold. If he's not ready, we'll put

560
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:08.960
<v Speaker 2>him on hold. Let's go next to John and Boxton.

561
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:11.400
<v Speaker 2>John talking about Elon Musk. Go ahead, John.

562
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:16.360
<v Speaker 4>They said Elon Muskin is an amazing talent. He's almost

563
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.360
<v Speaker 4>like an Aristotle. I don't know if people realize what

564
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.199
<v Speaker 4>he's done for the country, but his host star lague

565
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.199
<v Speaker 4>system has allowed communications through around the world, and the

566
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 4>Democrats loved him until he bought Twitter and he wanted

567
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:33.840
<v Speaker 4>free speech. He risked billions of dollars buy in Twitter,

568
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.440
<v Speaker 4>and they got kicked off at him because that exposed

569
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 4>a fifty one intelligence agents were lying about the hundred

570
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:44.760
<v Speaker 4>byte laptop. And that's why the Democrats really got upset

571
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:48.960
<v Speaker 4>at least Elon Musk, because he wanted free speech where

572
00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:51.679
<v Speaker 4>a country has founded on free speech, just like we're

573
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 4>speaking now, Dad, and Elon Musk is now just turning

574
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:58.719
<v Speaker 4>over stones finding out where the waste is. Why would

575
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.119
<v Speaker 4>anybody in their right mind be upset about that? Just

576
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.719
<v Speaker 4>trillions of dollars If Donald Trump was on Sean Harry's

577
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.679
<v Speaker 4>eyes man about four trillion dollars.

578
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Without I've said this to you before, John, I know

579
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:15.280
<v Speaker 2>you've heard me say it. I'm not interested in publicizing

580
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.320
<v Speaker 2>other shows on my program. If you want to talk

581
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.280
<v Speaker 2>about what you heard, that's fine that I'm not here

582
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:25.719
<v Speaker 2>to publicize any other broadcast affiliate, any other broadcast station,

583
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:27.719
<v Speaker 2>any other broadcast personality.

584
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, I just want to give you the source.

585
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 4>Bottom line. Our government was giving two hundred and thirty

586
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:39.159
<v Speaker 4>million dollars to the Taliban, and they were buying passports

587
00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 4>for guys down South America to come across the border.

588
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Now he is Chris Fettis is a sealed team.

589
00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:52.199
<v Speaker 2>And again once once I see you know it. Look

590
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:57.079
<v Speaker 2>this waste and abuse. But I you're putting stuff out.

591
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 2>I have no excuse me, John, John, if you could,

592
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:04.559
<v Speaker 2>if you would, if you would permit me to You're

00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:09.000
<v Speaker 2>putting information out on my radio program that I do

594
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:15.719
<v Speaker 2>not know the source of. Okay, and and and therefore

595
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.800
<v Speaker 2>just the fact that it's mentioned but in some other

596
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:22.159
<v Speaker 2>radio station or some other talk show or some other

597
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.840
<v Speaker 2>website doesn't make it fact. That's all I'm saying. You know,

598
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean you and I I just I don't know

599
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.800
<v Speaker 2>the source of what you're saying. You can tell me

600
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:36.119
<v Speaker 2>there's a twenty alarm fire tonight in in you know,

601
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 2>in Manitoba, Canada. I don't know that, and therefore I

602
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:44.159
<v Speaker 2>don't want to talk about that. I mean, I'm asking,

603
00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.760
<v Speaker 2>how do you what do you consider? Do you consider

604
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk a hero or a villain?

605
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:53.119
<v Speaker 4>That's all he did. He risks so much. But they

606
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:54.960
<v Speaker 4>were they were talking about putting him in jail when

607
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.239
<v Speaker 4>he bought Twitter. They were upset he risked so much

608
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 4>by doing that. And if if if they were threatened

609
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.039
<v Speaker 4>to putting him in jail, he lost. He still hasn't

610
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:09.119
<v Speaker 4>made a profit on as far as I know, on Twitter,

611
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:13.280
<v Speaker 4>and he kept free speech open in the United States.

612
00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:14.519
<v Speaker 4>That one thing alone.

613
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Dan no on that that that is a public record.

614
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:21.199
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you on that. And there was a

615
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:25.119
<v Speaker 2>period of time when Twitter was not as open and

616
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:27.960
<v Speaker 2>accessible as it is now. So just leave it there

617
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.519
<v Speaker 2>at that, and as they say, we will, we'll talk

618
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.039
<v Speaker 2>on other issues on another time. But I hope you understand.

619
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I just people call up all the time. John, It's

620
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.079
<v Speaker 2>just not you. They'll call up and say, well, you

621
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:41.920
<v Speaker 2>know this happened or that happened, or I heard this

622
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:44.719
<v Speaker 2>on this show, and you know I'm on the air

623
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:48.159
<v Speaker 2>for four hour reason. I get I get that people don't.

624
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:51.840
<v Speaker 2>You might listen to other broadcasts, which is fine, but

625
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:55.599
<v Speaker 2>just when you cite stuff that's factual from other shows,

626
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.800
<v Speaker 2>it's it's very disruptive to me because I have because

627
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.519
<v Speaker 2>people who were listening, they're gonna say, well, I heard

628
00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:06.280
<v Speaker 2>it and Dan ray that the Martians have landed, and

629
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:08.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that.

630
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 4>I was just giving the source.

631
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I get it, I get it. I just yeah, I don't.

632
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:17.599
<v Speaker 4>Know our government funding terrorist groups that was the source

633
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:20.760
<v Speaker 4>for But it's there are others also, it's it's not

634
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:21.679
<v Speaker 4>the bottom line.

635
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:24.719
<v Speaker 2>I think I think that some look. I think that

636
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.119
<v Speaker 2>there was was usaid money that maybe was sent to

637
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:34.039
<v Speaker 2>certain countries, including Afghanistan, which was intended theoretically for a

638
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:41.119
<v Speaker 2>noble purpose. But because Afghanistan is controlled by bad actors,

639
00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:43.760
<v Speaker 2>they didn't allow that money to go to the sisters

640
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.159
<v Speaker 2>of the poor. They took that money for themselves, you know,

641
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:50.159
<v Speaker 2>So there was a little bit naivetay maybe, or maybe

642
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:53.920
<v Speaker 2>there was intentional naivete We'll figure it out. Thanks, John,

643
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:55.119
<v Speaker 2>I always appreciate you.

644
00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 4>They're just starting to grass the service. They can't wait

645
00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:58.599
<v Speaker 4>the final one.

646
00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's say, well, let's see what happened. So let's see

647
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 2>what happens. John, I got to get one more Rin.

648
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, mich appreciate you call. Have a great night.

649
00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Let me go finally to Mike and Beverly. Mike, you's

650
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna wrap up kind of a raucous hour. Here, go

651
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:10.440
<v Speaker 2>right ahead, Mike.

652
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:12.840
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Dan, how I've listen to it.

653
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:13.320
<v Speaker 4>I get it.

654
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:15.880
<v Speaker 8>I'm all for you. Like last call and talked about

655
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:20.400
<v Speaker 8>Elon Musk. I don't understand it. People, listen, Donald Trump

656
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:23.840
<v Speaker 8>is the secatur of the Office he can hire and

657
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:27.519
<v Speaker 8>fire who he wants. And Elon Musk is an employee

658
00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:31.880
<v Speaker 8>of the federal government. He's an assistant, so that I don't.

659
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Think he's I don't think Mike, technically he is an employee.

660
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.119
<v Speaker 2>In order to be an employee of the federal government,

661
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:44.280
<v Speaker 2>he would have to be accepting a check for his services.

662
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:48.760
<v Speaker 2>As far as I know, he is not an employee.

663
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:53.039
<v Speaker 2>He is simply acting almost as a volunteer assistant.

664
00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well, I don't I listened to the White House

665
00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:00.000
<v Speaker 8>Press secondary today. Gave her a description today, so that's

666
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:02.239
<v Speaker 8>that's what she said today. So I know you're gonna

667
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:04.119
<v Speaker 8>get yell at me for saying this. So you know

668
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:04.440
<v Speaker 8>what I mean.

669
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Go no, no, if you want, if you want to quote,

670
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:09.480
<v Speaker 2>if you want to tell me that you heard, I'm

671
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:11.360
<v Speaker 2>not gonna yell at you. If you're going to tell

672
00:41:11.360 --> 00:41:14.320
<v Speaker 2>me that you heard the White House Press secretary say X,

673
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.760
<v Speaker 2>and that's an accurate reflection of a White House Press secretary.

674
00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that Elon Musk as an employee. It

675
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:24.119
<v Speaker 2>would want to be an employee of the federal government

676
00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:27.400
<v Speaker 2>because that then would give the federal government an opportunity

677
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:32.719
<v Speaker 2>to delve very deeply into his financial affairs, and I

678
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.559
<v Speaker 2>don't think even Elon Musk would want to sacrifice that.

679
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:38.239
<v Speaker 2>But we'll see. One of us will be right, one

680
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:40.280
<v Speaker 2>of us will be wrong. And if I find out

681
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:43.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong, I will I will mention it on the

682
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:46.599
<v Speaker 2>ear prominently. You know that, Okay, Yeah, I get.

683
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:48.800
<v Speaker 8>I just don't know why people are in a freakout

684
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:52.440
<v Speaker 8>all because I came home with Bill Clinton and Obama

685
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.960
<v Speaker 8>tried to have those years ago. It wasn't okay then.

686
00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:57.920
<v Speaker 8>But I ain't gotta go so all right, I.

687
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Gotta go call earlier. Give you more time for the night, everybody,

688
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:04.920
