WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.480 It's nice Eye. 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.280 Boston's news radio. 3 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.800 So I'd like to talk a little bit about the 4 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:14.039 presidential race. But before we do that, let me remind 5 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.600 you that tomorrow night you'll be able to hear right 6 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.359 here on WBZ beginning at eight thirty one of the 7 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.399 only two debates, and I believe they're both just an 8 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:31.480 hour long between the incumbent Democratic senator here in Massachusetts, 9 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:37.799 Elizabeth Warren, and her Republican opponent, John Daton. Now, all 10 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.359 the polls indicate that Warren is doing will be re elected. 11 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.000 So John Deaton has a couple of chances, one Tomorrow 12 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.520 night and one on Thursday night, to shake this race up. 13 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.719 And it's going to be a big task. But I 14 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.960 think that Deton is someone who understands that he has 15 00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.799 a hill to climb. So it's going to be interesting 16 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.880 to listen tomorrow night. And when we begin at eight 17 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.400 o'clock tomorrow night, we give you an opportunity to tell 18 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:12.519 us what you think Deaton should do to make this 19 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:19.280 race more competitive, or what does Elizabeth Warren do have 20 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.280 to do in order to maintain the lead that she 21 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.519 currently has. Then the debate runs from a thirty to 22 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.319 nine thirty. John Keller of WBZ TV is the host 23 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.319 of that debate, and then at nine thirty tomorrow night, 24 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.239 you'll have an opportunity to join us and tell us 25 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.120 what you think of the debate. It's interesting that even 26 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:46.519 though Channel four is the host television station of this debate. 27 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.519 As I listened to Channel four today, it sounds as 28 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.680 if the debate is going to be either available streaming 29 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.040 or on Channel thirty eight, which I think is interesting. 30 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.920 I really think it's interesting, and I think it's almost 31 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.920 add Now. I don't know what sort of obligations Channel 32 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.800 four has to broadcast network television programs. I know that 33 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.159 every week in the fall, the all of these three 34 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.319 major networks ABC and CBS and NBC, I watch football 35 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.599 games over the weekend, or hockey games, or basketball games, 36 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.520 or Worlds or playoff games, and if it is a network, 37 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.800 they're always showing you it's premiere week coming up on 38 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.199 our network. I think they each have about five or 39 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.759 six premiere weeks. In the old days, back when there 40 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.360 were three major networks, you would have everyone would know 41 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.280 what was the upcoming schedule for that fall, and you'd 42 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.960 know that Bonanza was still going to be on at 43 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.960 seven o'clock on Sunday night, or whatever your favorite word. 44 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.919 It's just how the world has changed now. It's like 45 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.039 they run stories, they run shows by you which look 46 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.759 the same, sound the same, the titles are the same. 47 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.360 Either are all real a lot of violence as much 48 00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.719 as they can get on television, or it's game shows 49 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.520 or dancing, Dancing with the stars or whatever. Anyway, we'll 50 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.520 we'll let that go. I just think it's interesting that 51 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.039 Channel four would host the debate and they would not 52 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.280 show it on their major outlet, which of course is WBCTV, 53 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.879 and it's going to be broadcast as I understand. If 54 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.759 I'm wrong there by the way, feel free to correct 55 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.080 me those of you who may be following it more closely. 56 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.039 I don't think I am, but if I am, they're 57 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.080 going to show it on their affiliate, which is Channel 58 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.560 thirty eight, which has always been considered, you know, Channel 59 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.639 thirty eight has been considered sort of like the minor 60 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.960 league affiliate of Channel four, put to put it in 61 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:46.800 baseball terms. But whatever, that's that's something we could we 62 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.560 could talk about also later on. But what I want 63 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.759 to talk about is last week I talked about an 64 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:56.400 interesting interview that have been on the CBS Morning Show 65 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:01.240 between an author who basically was calling Israel in apartheid 66 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.800 state in his book called the book is called the Message, uh, 67 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.759 and the one of the morning show anchors of the 68 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.560 CBS Morning News, Jeff Robbins, writes about this Tomorrow and 69 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.360 the Boston Herald. So if you get a chance to 70 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.639 read Jeff's column, I listen. I've read it today and 71 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.079 it's as it usually is with Jeff Robins, frequent guest 72 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.120 on this program, right on the money. But here's the thing. 73 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.079 I was watching the morning news programs on Sunday and 74 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:36.560 I watched this week on ABC and old friend and 75 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.319 colleague Martha Raddits, who was a reporter here in Boston 76 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.959 and was known as Martha Bradley at the time, but 77 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.439 now Martha Raddits. It's been in ABC correspondent and I 78 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:52.040 think does a great job on her assignments around the 79 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.800 world and closer to and at home. But I thought 80 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.639 she kind of got take it to the cleaner. Yesterday 81 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.720 she was interviewing the Republican vice presidential candidate jd. Vance. 82 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.399 And when you wear your politics on your sleeve and 83 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.519 you're a network reporter, it's not a good look. It's 84 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.879 not a good look because half of your audience out there, 85 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.560 probably is you know, tends to vote Republican and half 86 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:27.000 the audience tends to vote Democrat. And whatever your again, 87 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.360 if you're ABC, NBCCBS, if you're Fox, you know you're 88 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.800 gonna be Republican. If you see an ANN, you're gonna 89 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.240 be Democrat. I get it. Okay. If you're a NBC, 90 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.279 who God knows what you're gonna be, You're gonna be progressive, 91 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.240 socialist or whatever. That's fine. But when Martha Radis was 92 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:47.759 interviewing JD. Vance yesterday, she challenged Vance on some of 93 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:52.879 the comments recent comments that Donald Trump had made about 94 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:59.360 Venzwalen gangs which had come across the border illegally basically 95 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.399 taking over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado, and this video 96 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.680 of this activity. Okay, Now, I don't live in Aurora, Colorado. 97 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.399 What happens in Aurora, Colorado doesn't really impact me. But 98 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.680 the video is pretty clear. The video is pretty clear. 99 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.800 So Rod Martha came at JD. Van's with a pretty 100 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.560 strong question, okay, And the purpose of the question was 101 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:33.160 for her to get Vance to denounce the comments, the 102 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:39.040 statements that former President Trump had made. Now, if you 103 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.759 want to get him to denounce the statements that former 104 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:51.519 President Trump made about Haitians eating dogs in Ohio, in Springfield, Ohio, 105 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.800 I'm with you one thousand percent those statements in the 106 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.800 middle of the presidential debate on October I think it 107 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.319 was was no, it was October first, Yeah, it was. 108 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.839 It was wildly off base. There's I mean, he was 109 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.720 picked off based on that one by about ten feet. Okay, 110 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.600 but his comments about this video of these gun toting 111 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:23.439 people going into apartment complexes in Aurora, calif Aurora, Colorado. 112 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:29.560 So Martha Raddits went after Vance, and Vance handled it 113 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.959 very well, and then Raddits decided, Martha Raddis decided to 114 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.959 keep the pressure on, and it didn't. It didn't turn out, 115 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.120 in my opinion, to be a good look for Martha Raddits. 116 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.399 So let's listen to the exchange. This is a two 117 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.439 minute exchange. It's Martha Raddits of ABC talking to Republican 118 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.439 vice presially vincidential candidate JD. Vance, the Senator from Ohio, 119 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.839 and she's very interruptive and the questions it's a loaded question, 120 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.720 It's an absolute loaded question. Here's how it played yesterday, 121 00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.120 and if you didn't listen to it, listen to it 122 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:10.240 carefully cut sixteen abron. 123 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.040 But I want to We played some other comments about 124 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:17.519 migrants migrants, including an Aurora in Colorado, where Trump said 125 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:22.800 the city had been invaded and conquered by Venezuelan gangs. 126 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.079 The Republican mayor of the city said flatly, the city 127 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.480 and state have not been taken over or invaded or 128 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:34.080 occupied by migrant gangs. So do you support Donald Trump 129 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.399 making those claims that the Republican mayor says were grossly 130 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.559 exaggerated and have hurt the city's identity and sense of safety. 131 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.759 I understand what you're saying, that some people left behind, 132 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.600 but he's making these statements that the mayor is flat 133 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:49.799 out disputing. 134 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.639 Well, Martha, you just said the mayor said they were 135 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:58.159 exaggeratedly exaggerated. There's got to be some that means there's 136 00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:59.799 got to be some element of truth here. And of 137 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.519 course President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado talking to 138 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.519 people on the ground, and what we're hearing, of course, Martha, 139 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.399 is that people are terrified by what has happened with 140 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.879 some of these Venezuelan gangs. 141 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.080 Center Evance. I'm going to stop you because I know 142 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.240 exactly what happened. I'm going to stop you. The incidents 143 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.320 were limited to a handful of apartment CONFLICTX apartment complexes, 144 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.840 and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers have acted 145 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.679 on those concerns a handful of problems. 146 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.720 Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of 147 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.519 apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs. 148 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.679 And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's 149 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.200 open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on, 150 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:46.639 and they have every right to be. And I really 151 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.399 find this exchange, Martha is sort of interesting because you 152 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.039 seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald 153 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.759 Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in 154 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.559 the United States of a America are being taken over 155 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.039 by violent gangs. I worry so much more about that 156 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.799 problem than anything else here. We've got to get American 157 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.600 communities in a safe space again. 158 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.759 So I think, and I want to hear from you 159 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:21.720 that Advance handled himself pretty well there, and the questions 160 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.200 and the tone of the questions from radits she could 161 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.120 have phrased the question I thought a lot more fairly, 162 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.799 but I want to hear what you have to say. 163 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:37.080 I have one more SoundBite where Radits continues to go 164 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.360 after him on this, and it's almost as if what 165 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:44.759 it says to me is that maybe maybe well, first 166 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.360 of all, I think Martha is wearing her politics on 167 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.000 her slave, which is a dumb thing for in inappropriate thing. 168 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.639 You can't be emotional in those circumstances. You have to 169 00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.039 be as calm, cool and collect that as Jade Vance 170 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.399 was in order to win that argument, in my opinion, 171 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:06.519 So I want to know what you have to say 172 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.960 and welcome back on to play. Where Martha then sort 173 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:14.399 of that doubles down on Vance. And you know, you're 174 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.679 interviewing a United States senator who's running for vice president 175 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.120 of the United States. I think this way to interrupt 176 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.240 the person without saying something like I'm going to stop 177 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:29.639 you right there. I don't know where that license where 178 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:34.600 Martha Raddits felt she had that license, I'm going to 179 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:41.000 stop you right there. That displays a bias that to 180 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.159 me is troubling. We've seen it with the David Muir interview, 181 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:53.519 the the the debate between you know the debate if 182 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.279 you will, between Trump and Harris, where Trump was just 183 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:02.039 horrible but Mure also was horrible. Then you see it 184 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:06.840 on the vice presidential debate with the CBS Ancor nor 185 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:11.679 O'Donnell along with Margaret Brennan, who they fact check Vance 186 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.639 but don't fact check. Uh Walls, I mean it's and 187 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:22.240 turned Vance's microphone off. I mean this is this is 188 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.559 now a mistake and that that the networks are making, 189 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:32.960 and it's also going to help Trump advance in my opinion. Uh, 190 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:40.720 and it'll backfire on both the Democrats and on and 191 00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:44.919 and and on the media. Harris is doing something interesting. 192 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.480 She's gonna sit down with Brett Baar of Fox News. 193 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.399 Bear will be We'll give her a tough interview. She 194 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.600 may come out of that looking better if she handles 195 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.799 it properly, if she's responsive to questions. I will bet 196 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:03.200 you Bear will be much more respectful of Vice President 197 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.919 Harris than Martha Radditts. Martha Radits was of JD. Vance. 198 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.639 Let's take a break, Rob, I don't want to go 199 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.679 too long here. When we come back, well we'll have 200 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.320 Martha doubles down with JD. Vance. 201 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.960 Now back to Dan Ray line from the Window World. 202 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.759 Night Side Studios on w b Z to news radio. Okay, 203 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.639 so we listened to the longer interchange between JD. Vance, 204 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.960 the Republican nominee for Vice President, Martha Raddis of ABC, 205 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.759 who's a friend of mine and who I very much 206 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.200 respected as a colleague when she was working at Channel 207 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.879 five and I was working at Channel four. But I 208 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:44.679 think she kind of jumped the shark here and this 209 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.840 is her trying this is Vance continuing his answer, and 210 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:54.679 raddit's continuing to be tone deaf to the tone that 211 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:59.759 she was striking with Senator Vance, and I think displaying 212 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.399 well an attitude which is probably going to help fans 213 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.639 rather than hurt him. Cut sixteen b Rob. 214 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.759 And Unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, 215 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.600 most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don't 216 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.320 know who they really are, you're going to have problems 217 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:21.679 like this. Kamala Harris ninety four executive orders that undid Donald. 218 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.159 Trump's successful border policies. 219 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:24.120 We knew this. 220 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:24.799 Stuff would happen. 221 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.559 Let's ragged about opening the border, and now we have 222 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.440 the consequences and we're living with it. We can do 223 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.919 so much better. But frankly, we're not going to do better, 224 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.360 Martha unless Donald Trump calls this stuff out. 225 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.320 I'm glad that he did. 226 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.879 Okay, let's just end that with. They did not invade 227 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.840 or take over the city, as Donald Trump said, I 228 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.519 want to move. 229 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.879 On to just a few apartment complexes, no big deal. 230 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.080 A few apartment complexes that the mayor did not seems 231 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.320 was invading the entire city. 232 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.600 I mean, think about it. Think about it. If all 233 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:59.080 of a sudden you had some right wing whack up 234 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.879 whack jobs, wacker doodles, who all of a sudden decided 235 00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:04.440 they were going to go in and take over a 236 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:11.240 few apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, wouldn't that bother you? 237 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.320 I mean, it certainly would bother me, and it certainly 238 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:19.320 would bother me if Ben's a will and street gangs, 239 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:24.720 as the video shows, and as Martha radditts acknowledged. But 240 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.320 it's Somehow is it important? What does it say about 241 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.120 the country, What does it say about the border? Go 242 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.759 to Mike and Beverly. Mike, get us going here on nightside. 243 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.679 Go ahead, Mike, Okay, I got to turn that radio 244 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.600 down and we'll put him on hold. Let me go 245 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.240 to Bob in Randolph. Bob, you're going to start us 246 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.000 off here on Nightside this hour. 247 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.960 Go ahead, Bob, Hi Dan, I just want to say 248 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.759 that I think Vance was spot on and what he said. 249 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.840 We have to get our cities and towns that people 250 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:59.679 feel safe, and the Lada issue is a huge issue 251 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:03.000 in this country. That's just hard. 252 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.559 Why do you why do you think Martha Raddits made 253 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.840 those comments? Uh, you know that, Well, it was just 254 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.480 a few apartment complexes. 255 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:17.639 I mean, oh, it's it's just that left wing, that 256 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.679 liberal thought process that they have. I don't understand where 257 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.840 it comes from. It's far from where from where I 258 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:31.120 think a lot of conservatives think. I mean, we've had 259 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.559 such a great country over a period of long years, 260 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.000 and then all of a sudden it's becoming unraveled. Well, 261 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.639 there isn't much we can do about it. 262 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.120 I think Martha Rattis is really smart, bright woman, who's 263 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.799 a who's a good reporter. I've watched her or I 264 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.159 tend to watch ABC at night, to be honest with you, 265 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.559 in the newscast more than I do the other three, 266 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.600 although I do switch around. And I just think that 267 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.039 she obviously wanted theance she was She was looking for 268 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.119 the SoundBite, That's what she was doing. She was looking 269 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.640 for Vance to say, I think Trump was wrong on 270 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:12.880 that talk about Springfield, Ohio. If you want where, I 271 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:16.319 think Trump jumped the shark. And someone had said to 272 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:20.839 him before the debate, eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, 273 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.000 and Trump you just went with it, and and I 274 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:30.039 think ruined his debate performance. It wasn't a particularly good 275 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.599 performance in his in his first and only debate with 276 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.079 Kamala Harris. I don't know if you if you see 277 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.799 it that way, but I just thought, what is he 278 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:38.640 talking about? 279 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.119 And well, I feel he's his own worst enemy many 280 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.279 many times. 281 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.920 If Martha Raddis had gone after Vance on that and said, 282 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.759 you know, can you defend in any way, shape or 283 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.799 form the allegations that were made in October first by 284 00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.759 the by the former president, which have been disputed by 285 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:06.319 the Republican governor. Where I've seen no videotape of anything. 286 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.279 It was like something made up out of whole cloth. 287 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:14.279 There is video tape of these these evens, whiling guys 288 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:19.279 with guns walking up the staircases of these apartment complexes, 289 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:24.519 and and and she acknowledged it, and that's why Vince 290 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.519 said to her, just think of your question. What you 291 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.559 just said. Well, it's only a few complex it's only 292 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:31.759 a few apartment complexes. I mean. 293 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.480 If the plasma is a lot bigger than a few complexes, 294 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.680 believe me, the problem in this country is far above 295 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.240 what they're showing it really is, and nobody is addressing it. Okay. 296 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.880 Well, I mean even in the city. 297 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.079 They got a city of Boston, our great city of Boston. Okay, 298 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:55.240 We're shot four hundred officers, okay, and nobody addresses it. 299 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.119 Put we need four hundred more policemen on the streets, 300 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:02.400 okay to help us, and nobody is doing anything about it. 301 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:03.960 It's frustrating. 302 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.079 You're correct on that. I will tell you I've had 303 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.799 Larry Calderon on the program on several occasions over the 304 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.160 last couple of years talking about that problem specifically, and 305 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.519 it is a problem. It is clearly a problem. There's 306 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.079 no question about what you say. But what I'm saying 307 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.839 is there's no video evidence this this. I haven't seen 308 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.880 one person who's been interviewed, and I'm sure Fox went 309 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:27.920 out there to find the people who said I saw 310 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.359 my dog being dragged down the street. There was nothing 311 00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:36.440 of that, nothing of that, and it was probably yeah, 312 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.039 it was probably a rumor. And and former President Trump, 313 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.079 oh that's a good room to jump. Well, big mistake, President, 314 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.880 and that absolutely I think heard him for a couple 315 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:50.279 of weeks badly and it might eventually hurt him on 316 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:51.079 November fifth. 317 00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:54.519 But I just think I think he doesn't listen to anybody. 318 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.319 No question about that. There's no question about that. But JD. 319 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.480 Vance came across, in my opinion, as a pretty cool customer, 320 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:05.720 and he made sure ratits radits look pretty silly. And 321 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.480 it was all for Martha. Ratisy was a self inflicted wound. 322 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:11.759 I mean, you know, to say, well, it's only a 323 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.960 few of only a few apartment complexes games. 324 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:19.000 We'll say very soon what the result is. And thank 325 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:20.279 you so much for listening. 326 00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:24.160 You're welcome. Appreciate you call Bob, Thank you very much. Okay, 327 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.119 let me see if I should get one war in here. 328 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.799 If I can before the break, I'm gonna try it. 329 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:29.920 It's added. You know what, I'm not going to short 330 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.720 change Eddin Wooster and I'm not going to change short 331 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.000 change Larry. And here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna 332 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.240 invite You've heard what I've talked about. Many of you 333 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:44.599 probably saw this interview over the weekend on ABC. If 334 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.160 you think I'm wrong, bring it on. If you think 335 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.720 I'm right, feel free either way. Six one seven, two, five, 336 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.119 four ten thirty or six one seven, nine three one 337 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.559 ten thirty. If you wait until the end of the 338 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.880 hour to call, you're not going to get in the air. 339 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:01.039 It's as simple as that, because I'm not gonna rune people. Uh. 340 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:04.319 In order to accommodate people, UH. For some reason, my 341 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:07.359 audience tends to wait until I think everybody wants to 342 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:09.759 get the last word. We're going to stop playing that 343 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:14.079 game beginning tonight. Six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty. 344 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:16.599 Six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. I want 345 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.599 to talk about it, as they say. I respect Martha. 346 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.000 She's a good reporter. She was a great reporter at 347 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:24.720 Channel five. She went to the network. But I think 348 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:29.039 she got a little out over her skis if you 349 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:31.880 will with jd Vance and he was able to pick 350 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.759 up on it very quickly, very pretty good debater. He said, 351 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.079 think about what you just said. You know only a 352 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:43.119 few a few apartment complexes. Six one seven two five, four, 353 00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.559 ten thirty six, one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty 354 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.839 Hit comes the news at the bottom of the hour. 355 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:48.680 We'll be right back. 356 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:54.480 You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's 357 00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.160 news radio. 358 00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.119 Those pesky panthers. Let me go to Ed and Worcester. Ed. 359 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:00.640 You are next on night Side. 360 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:06.319 Welcome again. I just want to offer this. I think 361 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:10.160 the origin story of that cats and dogs thing came 362 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.240 from a Springfield City council meeting before the presidential debate 363 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.720 in September, where there were two residents. One of them 364 00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:20.480 was an African American gentleman who stood up and said, 365 00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:23.400 they're cutting the heads off of ducks. I heard that 366 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:25.440 on two different radio shows, and then I went online 367 00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.680 and saw it video of it. And then there was 368 00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:32.119 a woman also at that same city council meeting, and 369 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.400 she stood up and said. I don't think she said 370 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:36.200 they're eating cats and dogs, but I think she said 371 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.119 something like I'm afraid to let my cat outside or something. 372 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:43.000 And I would have no doubt. That's hard to find today, 373 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:46.000 but I do. I did get online and see that, 374 00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:46.799 and I didn't hear it. 375 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:51.160 On the radio. How does that then, Let's assume that 376 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.720 that's accurate, because you're you're a good car responded here. 377 00:22:55.799 --> 00:23:00.359 How does that then end up in Donald Trump's mind 378 00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:04.039 so that he brings it up during a presidential debate, 379 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.519 the only the presidential debate that he has with Vice 380 00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:12.200 President Harris. I mean there's for somebody to stand up 381 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:14.680 and say, hey, I think I saw them cut their 382 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.160 head off a doc or whatever. I mean, okay, fine, 383 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.240 and then someone says she's afraid to Does that really 384 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.119 rise to the level that Donald Trump had any right 385 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:26.440 to even bring that up? There was? 386 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:32.200 Yeah, Well, you know, like like like everybody else I've 387 00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:35.680 ever known who's a really gifted salesman as Donald Trump is, 388 00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:39.240 he just can't shut that function off in his mind, 389 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:42.839 Like everything gets exaggerated and overstated. 390 00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:45.839 Yeah, but but you know, you got to have some discipline. 391 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.079 You gotta have some discipline. And but but let's move 392 00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.400 on to tonight. What we're talking about tonight. I thought 393 00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:56.599 Martha Ratis was way out of line yesterday. 394 00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:59.519 Well, I actually have to disagree with you about that. 395 00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.319 Remember years ago, Mike Dukakis was being he was on 396 00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:06.319 c SPAN, and I think he used to teach out 397 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:10.680 at Pepperdine or somewhere and he was giving a talk 398 00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:12.880 and somebody got up and asked him a question about 399 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:14.960 the Sunday morning shows. And this was i'd say at 400 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.599 least fifteen years ago. And he said, I don't watch 401 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.000
