Speaker 1: With Dan Ray. I'm going easy Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2: There was a big story yesterday we didn't get to touch. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's a big story, and that if you listen to
Speaker 2: it and you don't understand how the system works, you think, WHOA,
Speaker 2: how about that President Biden. He's still president, by the way,
Speaker 2: not able to run for president, but he is still
Speaker 2: the president of the United States. He spoke at the
Speaker 2: University of Texas and basically the theory was, we got
Speaker 2: to do something about the Supreme Court. He was this
Speaker 2: was a politics, politics as usual. He's been president for
Speaker 2: three and a half years and just now you know,
Speaker 2: part of it is that we're in the election season
Speaker 2: and there's nothing that's going to happen. But but but
Speaker 2: let me tell you yesterday I'm listening to Joe Biden
Speaker 2: and listening to some of the sound bites, and he's
Speaker 2: beginning to sound to me. And I say this in
Speaker 2: a I don't say in mean spirit, but he's beginning
Speaker 2: to sound to me like that wacky uncle that you
Speaker 2: have who's kind of gone over the cliff, the person
Speaker 2: who at Thanksgiving dinner on that last Thursday in November
Speaker 2: just kind of prattles on it doesn't have a lot
Speaker 2: to say, but kind of tell stories. Okay, so he
Speaker 2: starts off. Now again we're going to talk about is
Speaker 2: his idea of limiting Supreme Court justices to eighteen years
Speaker 2: in office. So if you're elevated to the U Supreme Court,
Speaker 2: say at the age of sixty, you have to retire
Speaker 2: at eighty, So there wouldn't be a mandatory retirement age
Speaker 2: as I understand it. Also, he wants to overturn the
Speaker 2: decision of the Supreme Court released in late June, which
Speaker 2: essentially said that presidents, not just Donald Trump, but presidents
Speaker 2: can be held libel in a criminal fashion for what
Speaker 2: they do in office unless it's an official act. Now,
Speaker 2: I think that decision is pretty solid. Joe Biden reduces
Speaker 2: it to simplicity and says, well, all presidents should be
Speaker 2: above the law. Well, Joe, let me remind you that
Speaker 2: there were some things going on in your family that
Speaker 2: some people were making the argument was above the law.
Speaker 2: And then there was some question about what did you
Speaker 2: or did you not know about Hunter Biden's dealings with
Speaker 2: foreign governments. And again, you know, Hunter Biden still has
Speaker 2: to face the tax a trial in September we know
Speaker 2: all of that. But as he announced this yesterday, and
Speaker 2: it was nothing more than just a we're going to
Speaker 2: change the constitution. How difficult it is to change the constitution.
Speaker 2: I mean it takes a vote of two consecutive Congresses
Speaker 2: and then in addition, you got to get approval of
Speaker 2: three quarters of the states. And it's done intentionally because
Speaker 2: you don't want the constitution to be changed, as someone
Speaker 2: might say, willy nilly, you know, you want it to
Speaker 2: be sober. There have been constitutional amendments obviously over the years.
Speaker 2: They are few and far between. The last one was
Speaker 2: the twenty seventh Amendment, which is not particularly well known.
Speaker 2: The most recent that had some impact was the twenty
Speaker 2: sixth Amendment in nineteen seventy one, which based he gave
Speaker 2: the right of US citizens who are eighteen years of
Speaker 2: older to vote and shall not be denied or a
Speaker 2: bridged by the United States of any state on account
Speaker 2: of age. So they're relatively rare, okay. The twenty fifth Amendment,
Speaker 2: which deals with a president being incapacitated and whether or
Speaker 2: not his own cabinet members, would basically suggest that maybe
Speaker 2: it's time for him to move on and report to
Speaker 2: the House of to both the Senate and to the
Speaker 2: House of Representatives. So without getting deep into the weeds here,
Speaker 2: this is not something that is likely to happen, but
Speaker 2: it's it's I think Bill Clinton referred to it as
Speaker 2: chubbed for the bubbas. You know, basically, you chumb for
Speaker 2: the bubbers, you throw some bait into the water, and
Speaker 2: that's what's going on here. But Biden yesterday, interesting enough,
Speaker 2: he began to sound really like, is he now your
Speaker 2: wacky uncle? Okay, let let me explain. Let's let's listen
Speaker 2: to this one. Uh, what do we got here? This
Speaker 2: is this has cut three B and he's beginning to
Speaker 2: sound to me like a wacky uncle here. So maybe
Speaker 2: it's a good thing that the Democrats dumped me cut
Speaker 2: three B. Please, Rob.
Speaker 3: Remember going down to the Democratic Convention off year in Dover, Delaware,
Speaker 3: and after the afternoon session went back and I was
Speaker 3: in my room. Nice one tell you just drive up
Speaker 3: to get out walking your door there and then an
Speaker 3: eight x ten bathroom, a shower on a stall, and
Speaker 3: I had my talleram and a shaving cream on my
Speaker 3: face and a bam bam bam.
Speaker 2: On my door. Well, how's the story? Gold I thought
Speaker 2: it was the.
Speaker 3: Guys that came down with the guys that real had
Speaker 3: a talk show named Bob Cunny name was a big
Speaker 3: civil rights guy, and two others, so I thought it
Speaker 3: was them. I walked open the door. There was a
Speaker 3: former governor, former Street Court justice, I swear to God,
Speaker 3: the state chairman, and the former congressman.
Speaker 2: Well that's an interesting story. So then what happened next? Joe?
Speaker 2: This is cut three C. They said, we just had dinner.
Speaker 3: I said, I'm sorry, gentlemen, and I walked in and
Speaker 3: ran in the bathroom and shake the shade, griffing I
Speaker 3: could put.
Speaker 4: Something on the wind.
Speaker 3: Thene of the game, I walked back out of the towne.
Speaker 3: I'm standing against the nail a desk, nail of the wall,
Speaker 3: and those they're on the beds that are nailed of
Speaker 3: the headboards and nail of the wall. Four of us
Speaker 3: sitting across said, Joe, we were thinking you should run
Speaker 3: for the United States Senate. I said, gentlemen, you create
Speaker 3: are you serious? And they went and made their case.
Speaker 2: I was a Biden. I'm telling you the truth. So
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, what is that story about. He's
Speaker 2: down there speaking about doing significant change of the year
Speaker 2: Supreme Court, which was nothing but again chump for the
Speaker 2: bubbas as Bill Clinton would have said.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: And the other thing too, by the way, which just
Speaker 2: to take a little bit of a shot here at
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. This was Donald Trump saying that he would
Speaker 2: rather run against Kamala Harris than Joe Biden. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure he really means that. I could be wrong. This
Speaker 2: has cut ten rob go ahead.
Speaker 6: When they asked me to do that, Nate, they didn't
Speaker 6: think I was going to do it, because they were
Speaker 6: going to offer They offered me the two heads, the
Speaker 6: two announcers, whatever you'd call him, the referees, call them
Speaker 6: whatever you want, but I have to say they were
Speaker 6: They were both very fair. It was CNN. They wanted
Speaker 6: to sit down. I said, no, I don't want to
Speaker 6: sit down. You can't sit down. They want to sit down.
Speaker 6: They offered me everything that I couldn't accept, and I
Speaker 6: accepted it. I accepted everything, and we had a debate.
Speaker 6: It was a great debate. It was actually maybe it
Speaker 6: was a mistake. Maybe I shouldn't have debated so well
Speaker 6: because of it. You know, that was the end of him,
Speaker 6: because from that day on you could see that he
Speaker 6: was not going to be In my opinion, I said,
Speaker 6: I don't think he's.
Speaker 2: Going to make it anymore.
Speaker 6: Now I have her, I would rather run against her
Speaker 6: than him. I think she's easier than he is because
Speaker 6: he had a certain I always felt he was Joe.
Speaker 6: I always felt he was incompetent, but he at a
Speaker 6: certain base and no matter how bad he was, people
Speaker 6: are going to.
Speaker 2: Vote for him.
Speaker 6: She doesn't have that base.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll find out about that president, former President Trump,
Speaker 2: that's for sure. Okay, So if if you want to
Speaker 2: talk about why politicians as we're moving into an election,
Speaker 2: has every right to do this, but to basically raise
Speaker 2: the expectations of people, we're going to change the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court is representative of the people who vote
Speaker 2: for a president. It's as simple as that. Biden wants
Speaker 2: to I guess, limited to two Supreme Court justices every
Speaker 2: every presidential term. I mean, this guy's I talked about
Speaker 2: some phone calls tonight being in La La Land. I
Speaker 2: think there Joe Biden has joined him in La La Land. Anyway,
Speaker 2: That's what I'd like to talk about. And if you
Speaker 2: want to move into presidential politics, that's fine. Six, one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 2: ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that right now. Donald Trump might not
Speaker 2: like to have Joe Biden back at that, and it's
Speaker 2: a Democratic ticket. We'll be back at night Side right
Speaker 2: after this break.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray Mine from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Sight Studios on w b Z News Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to some phone calls here. Let
Speaker 2: me go to David san Antonio, Texas. Dave, Welcome back.
Speaker 2: How are you, sir?
Speaker 7: How you doing? Dan?
Speaker 2: Doing great? Dave? What's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 7: Every liberal friend I have, which I don't have many lately.
Speaker 7: When I do have some, uh, they tell me they
Speaker 7: went RFK, they didn't pick her, and they said we
Speaker 7: didn't have a voice in it at all. They just
Speaker 7: tell me I got her.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm referring to the democratic choice by the party
Speaker 2: leaders and the donors as the immaculate nomination.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you like that. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: That's a ring to it. I mean, never before has
Speaker 2: a presidential candidate, uh, not not competed in one debate.
Speaker 2: Presidential nominee now not debated in one debate, not held
Speaker 2: one campaign rally no one voted for for the Democratic nominee. Uh.
Speaker 2: It's it's a it's a miracle. It's a political miracle, Dave.
Speaker 2: It's something that that that we we should all admire.
Speaker 2: It's it's the immaculate nomination. That's the way I look.
Speaker 7: At it and I think it and to me, it'll
Speaker 7: be just as easy for them to boot her out
Speaker 7: and find somebody else.
Speaker 2: Well, they can't boot her out after the after she's nominated.
Speaker 2: They're going to nominate her, I guess in some sort
Speaker 2: of a zoom call on August seventh. I'm going to
Speaker 2: be away next week, Dave. So I'm I'm hoping that
Speaker 2: that you'll call in. I have a you know, uh,
Speaker 2: Gary Tangway, Morgan White, Ben Park was one of newse guys.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be off for about a week. I'm
Speaker 2: going on a trip with some of our listeners night
Speaker 2: Side Listeners to Italy. But well, yeah, well we will
Speaker 2: advertised that last January. You might remember, and so you
Speaker 2: went before last September. September before that we did dan
Speaker 2: and the Danube, and before that we did a beautiful
Speaker 2: cruise on the Rhine River. And then in a few
Speaker 2: years before that, we took a whole bunch of people
Speaker 2: on a tour to Alaska. So yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 7: That Italy one sounds enchanting, though, I mean, I love
Speaker 7: that country. I grew up in South Jersey, which was
Speaker 7: little Italy at the time. They grew to love those
Speaker 7: people dearly.
Speaker 2: Well I'm looking. I'm hoping for good food and maybe
Speaker 2: some good water. We'll see. Oh yeah, well, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go a little higher than I look at her like
Speaker 2: a chicken palm, chicken pacada things.
Speaker 7: So yeah, well, I look, I love Italian food, but
Speaker 7: I still spaghetti and meatballs, as.
Speaker 2: We don't know, it's my favorite growing up as a kid.
Speaker 7: Who made Who's mom made the best spaghetti sauce, spaghetti.
Speaker 2: Meatballs, little garlic bread, maybe a salad on the side,
Speaker 2: and glass of wine?
Speaker 7: How did you have that?
Speaker 2: Absolutely so so so, as I say, if you want
Speaker 2: to steal my my phrase, the immaculate nomination, feel feel free.
Speaker 2: But they're going to go to Chicago and they're not
Speaker 2: going to have the the normal nomination process. This nothing's
Speaker 2: normal about this there. It's going to be all done
Speaker 2: I think on zoom or by telephone or something like that.
Speaker 2: As of August seventh. That's why she's got to pick
Speaker 2: her her vice presidential nominee so quickly.
Speaker 7: Yeah. Well, she's on records saying she thinks all the
Speaker 7: illegal immigrants should vote. And uh, she she on record
Speaker 7: bailing out all those people that burned Minneapolis down.
Speaker 2: And see what I don't understand then, David, and I
Speaker 2: know you're a big Trump guy, is why doesn't the
Speaker 2: Trump campaign stay on issues and stay away from the personalities.
Speaker 7: I don't know. That's Donald's got a problem there.
Speaker 2: He's got a big problem there. He's got a big
Speaker 2: problem there because it's like he's he's got a base
Speaker 2: of forty, but he's got to get another six or
Speaker 2: eight percent in order to win the Electric College. And
Speaker 2: if you if you keep going after people with you know,
Speaker 2: nicknames and all of that, that's great for his base,
Speaker 2: but it's not it's not great for those voters who
Speaker 2: are actually going to decide this election. So I don't know,
Speaker 2: if next time you talk to him, let me know
Speaker 2: what he says.
Speaker 7: Okay, I'll tell you that when he got shot and
Speaker 7: he got up and raises this invite, he won a
Speaker 7: lot of voters.
Speaker 2: I'm sure. I'm sure he did. I'm not denying that,
Speaker 2: but I'm saying, is you then turn around and you
Speaker 2: you fritter some of some of them away. I don't
Speaker 2: know frit is an actual verb here, but I'm going
Speaker 2: to make it a verb tonight. You fritter people away
Speaker 2: by upsetting people, like his thing to the Christians the
Speaker 2: other day, like I want all my Christian friends, and
Speaker 2: he said something like, I'm not a Christian, but I
Speaker 2: want all my Christian friends to vote for me. And uh,
Speaker 2: and you won't have to vote again in four years.
Speaker 2: That's kind of interesting to say something like that, I
Speaker 2: think says something that dump it.
Speaker 7: Right, right, get it dumb. I know you, I know.
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you one return, and we'll talk about
Speaker 2: my dest meal over there.
Speaker 7: Okay, one thing, Get one thing good about dold something.
Speaker 7: The reason that I'm behind him. He's got a business
Speaker 7: sense and he's going to make this country hub again
Speaker 7: financial and that's more important than anything by mine.
Speaker 2: Well, but you gotta you got to get him elected,
Speaker 2: and he's got to learn to control himself. And uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I thought that the assassination attempt would hid
Speaker 2: he'd realized this is kind of a serious game. That
Speaker 2: people are playing.
Speaker 7: He was humbled with the first day after that when
Speaker 7: he was talking, it was really humble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we talk soon, thanks Dave.
Speaker 7: Okay, then good night, good night.
Speaker 2: Talk to you soon. Going next to Matt in Brighton,
Speaker 2: a little closer to home, Matt, you're next on Nightsiger
Speaker 2: right ahead.
Speaker 5: Uh No, I just wanted to say on Biden. You know, unfortunately,
Speaker 5: one of the things with that Donald is is that
Speaker 5: President Trump is always it's undermarked or over marked his adversaries.
Speaker 5: So it's very easy for him right now to say, well,
Speaker 5: you know, I'd rather have had Joe because Joe has
Speaker 5: the base and stuff like that. I don't think it
Speaker 5: does him any good to say that. I think it
Speaker 5: actually makes him look quite weak.
Speaker 2: But you just heard the sound, but he said he'd
Speaker 2: rather run against Harris. I'm not sure that that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, I think it's much more of
Speaker 5: a danger that he's now going to run versus her.
Speaker 5: I think she's going to bring in and I know
Speaker 5: I've said before, you know, I still worry about someone
Speaker 5: like Newsom coming into the picture. You know, I know
Speaker 5: you said the California saying, but someone either there like
Speaker 5: then I just have.
Speaker 2: Do you have any do you have any doubt that, uh,
Speaker 2: the Kamala Harris will be vice president, Harris would be
Speaker 2: the Democratic nominee for president. I mean this, I think this,
Speaker 2: that's a done deal.
Speaker 5: I could see something change me. Originally, no, I did
Speaker 5: not think it was going to be her. I thought
Speaker 5: something was going to change up. I see I see
Speaker 5: it falling into place, but I also see some some
Speaker 5: maneuver or something whether Yeah, she might be it, but
Speaker 5: she's going to bring in somebody who's going to be powerful.
Speaker 2: Well, she'll bring in a vice presidential candidate, and they're
Speaker 2: talking about either Senator Kelly from Arizona or Governor Shapiro
Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania. I guess Cooper from North Carolina has said no,
Speaker 2: Whitmer has Whittmer is going to be like the culture
Speaker 2: of her campaign. But the fact of the matter is
Speaker 2: that she's going to get a bump whomever she names
Speaker 2: as a vice president. And if she's smart and she
Speaker 2: picks a popular Democrat from a swing state, that's going
Speaker 2: to make it more difficult. I just think that he's
Speaker 2: whistling past the graveyard when he says he'd rather run
Speaker 2: against Harris. I just played the SoundBite from Joe Biden. Yes,
Speaker 2: he just he sounded like your uncle who you were
Speaker 2: listening to and saying, what the hell is talking about?
Speaker 5: And I'm worried about it, you know, I I know,
Speaker 5: you know, I know, like I said, I know, President Trump,
Speaker 5: it's understated or in sound bite fair enough, but I
Speaker 5: have great you know. I heard her Kim Jefferies out
Speaker 5: of I'm not sure where, but she could put together
Speaker 5: somebody who has a chance of Unfortunately, I hate to
Speaker 5: say it, but I don't trust the voters in the
Speaker 5: you know, key states that could beat him.
Speaker 2: If the if the message that the Vice president puts
Speaker 2: together can somehow take people's minds off of the Biden
Speaker 2: Harris you know Biden nomics, uh, and that that she
Speaker 2: could leave the impression that that she's a lot of
Speaker 2: those things she said in the past. He doesn't believe anymore.
Speaker 2: The Republicans need to stay in the issues if they
Speaker 2: if they want to win, and with Donald Trump at
Speaker 2: the head of the ticket, I think they. I this
Speaker 2: is this is this is a competitive race, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: simple as that competitive race. Matt. I got my news
Speaker 2: coming at me, so I gotta let you.
Speaker 5: Run all right, thank you, all right, all I'll say
Speaker 5: Dan very quick and she got to get to it
Speaker 5: is that one of the sterariest parts about their candidacy
Speaker 5: is that they have the ability to bring in people
Speaker 5: on key subjects that Biden would not be able to
Speaker 5: do this Biden would get him completely knocked on immigration,
Speaker 5: knowing about with Obama and Harris's head the highest turnover
Speaker 5: of any of them, more or less. So it shows
Speaker 5: what kind of leader she would be and how she'll
Speaker 5: get along with her administration that she doesn't yet have
Speaker 5: or fired.
Speaker 2: So well, yeah, she's she's had a big turnover in
Speaker 2: a minute in her staff. Okay, but look at the turnover.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump had it in his cabinet.
Speaker 5: But he did it he killed them off or he well,
Speaker 5: but he.
Speaker 2: Hired him in the first place. Matt mean, and I
Speaker 2: think there was a statistic that I believe is accurate
Speaker 2: that the Democrats have been quoting that h only a
Speaker 2: handful of all of the cabinet officials who worked for
Speaker 2: Donald Trump between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty one are
Speaker 2: not supporting Donald Trump. Mike Pence says he's not voting
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump. I mean, this.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's yeah. I just I don't see mathis
Speaker 5: coming out. I don't see. I just don't see some
Speaker 5: of these people. They may have left him. They may
Speaker 5: have I know you got to go, but I know
Speaker 5: they may have left him, they may have not left.
Speaker 5: In the terms that don't see them going out and
Speaker 5: for a big party.
Speaker 2: The only one that I know of who has come
Speaker 2: out is Bill Bill Bill Barr, Bill Barr who has
Speaker 2: come out and said, you know, he's still the better choice.
Speaker 2: So anyway, whatever, we thanks.
Speaker 9: Matth appreciate what it is.
Speaker 2: Scary Back on the night side. The only lines open
Speaker 2: right now six point seven two four ten thirty. We're
Speaker 2: gonna go. We got Bill and Ken and Cook in situate.
Speaker 2: We got room for you at six point seven two five,
Speaker 2: four to ten thirty. We will talk a little politics
Speaker 2: here again. As they say, the current president, Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: talked about revamping the US Supreme Court. I think that's
Speaker 2: that's just political. I don't know. It's like Penny Candy
Speaker 2: throwing out there a I'm going to fix the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: No he's not. It's not going to change. Nothing will
Speaker 2: change on the Supreme Court until the Democrats elect the
Speaker 2: president and some people retire, and that's the way it's
Speaker 2: been and that's the way it's likely to always be
Speaker 2: going forward. I mean, you don't want to tinker with
Speaker 2: institutions that have worked. I mean, there have been Supreme
Speaker 2: Courts that looked favorably upon democratic administrations and have looked
Speaker 2: just because you lose a couple of decisions, you don't
Speaker 2: turn around and change the entire structure of the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Coming back on Nights Side, right after the
Speaker 2: news at the bottom of the.
Speaker 1: Hour, Knights Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Back to the phones we go, Who would be next?
Speaker 2: Let me see who's been Okay, let's go to Kennon Waltham. Ken,
Speaker 2: You're next to knight'sid Lost Bill and Lexington. Bill, come
Speaker 2: on back. We'll get you on. You're up next, Go ahead.
Speaker 10: Ken, Hi, Dan, Hey, Ken, I wanted to talk about
Speaker 10: I always found the twenty seventh Amendment fascinating because it
Speaker 10: was first proposed in seventeen eighty nine and it finally
Speaker 10: became part of the Constitution over two hundred years later.
Speaker 10: So maybe maybe Biden will get his way in twenty
Speaker 10: two something but yeah.
Speaker 2: It takes It takes a I remember when I was younger,
Speaker 2: the Equal Rights Amendment came within I think a state
Speaker 2: or two of being or being ratified, and yet they
Speaker 2: ran out of time. They got like thirty six or
Speaker 2: thirty seven states, but it had to be accomplished within
Speaker 2: a certain period of time. So it's tough to change
Speaker 2: the constitution. It's not something that's vote and I.
Speaker 10: One thing I do have to you know, I remember
Speaker 10: arguments in my family where one thing everybody kind of
Speaker 10: agreed on the even years years back, was if you
Speaker 10: made the Supreme Court justices like eighteen year terms. I mean,
Speaker 10: they'd still be independent, and it sounds like it could
Speaker 10: solve some problems. I don't see how it would hurt anything.
Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you why, in my opinion, would hurt. Okay,
Speaker 2: you have. It's created in the Constitution as a separate
Speaker 2: branch of government. It often is the most significant branch
Speaker 2: of government because I can point to you know, whether
Speaker 2: it's Brown versus Board of Education, it wasn't Congress and
Speaker 2: the President who overturned plus versus Ferguson. It was the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court that was Earl Warren's court, former governor of California.
Speaker 2: You have you know, you had you know, the two
Speaker 2: appointees of Richard Nixon, Blackman and Well. Blackman of course
Speaker 2: wrote the Roe versus Way decision in nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 2: That stood for a long time. Uh and and it's
Speaker 2: been it's been changed. It hasn't been abortion hasn't been
Speaker 2: made illegal in America. It basically has returned it to
Speaker 2: the states. Now again, I know that there's great passions
Speaker 2: on both sides, but the Court does tend to reflect
Speaker 2: the views of the presidents that have been elected. You know,
Speaker 2: they talked, they talk about they were talking about court packing. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll have fifteen members of the Supreme Court the next
Speaker 2: time we get a president. Yeah. I just think that
Speaker 2: that you want the Supreme Court to be there prepared
Speaker 2: to stand up to presidents. I mean, the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: stood up to Richard Nixon during Watergate. I mean, you
Speaker 2: know you're not gonna like all the decisions.
Speaker 5: But yeah, no, I'm with you.
Speaker 10: I don't Again, I don't see out term when it's
Speaker 10: hurt that but also sort of back to the twenty
Speaker 10: seventh Amendment, maybe to you don't institute it. You know,
Speaker 10: if you pass it now it would be effective in
Speaker 10: eight years or something. That might be a way to
Speaker 10: try to depoliticize it a little bit too. But I
Speaker 10: hear what you're saying. I mean, I think what you're
Speaker 10: saying is it really can reflect who's president at the time.
Speaker 2: So I remember it was Barack Obama who said elections
Speaker 2: have consequences, and and elections do have consequences. There's also
Speaker 2: a little bit of luck involved. I mean, Ruth Bader
Speaker 2: Ginsburg could have resigned a couple of years, you know,
Speaker 2: before she passed, when when President Obama was still the press,
Speaker 2: and that would have he would have been able to
Speaker 2: appoint a younger justice. She stayed, you know, Justice Briar
Speaker 2: Stephen Bryer stepped aside, so that that's the only appointment
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden has had. But if if he had
Speaker 2: stayed and then Trump got elected, Trump would have the
Speaker 2: ability to change his seat.
Speaker 10: So be sure. Hey, on one other quick point you
Speaker 10: mentioned about Biden and you know some of the investigations
Speaker 10: going on with him. I just want to see what
Speaker 10: your thought is on this because I'm curious to see
Speaker 10: if the House is still going to go after Biden
Speaker 10: for impeachment. I do not know that that. If they don't,
Speaker 10: I mean, doesn't that kind of I mean, maybe they'll
Speaker 10: probably just say, you know, he's out of the picture.
Speaker 10: We're just gonna let him go.
Speaker 2: But I suspect that it's one way to happen. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, if it were, if it were
Speaker 2: to come to to pass, that he was aware of
Speaker 2: what Hunter was doing in terms of his role on
Speaker 2: Barisma or something like that, I mean, you know this,
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting that Joe Biden will be indicted or
Speaker 2: should be indicted. I'm not suggesting that, but I'm saying
Speaker 2: is I do think that the decision that the court
Speaker 2: came down with in late June early July was pretty
Speaker 2: solidly reason It was the idea that there are certain
Speaker 2: things a president does that within his scope and obligation,
Speaker 2: he should not be held responsible for those things. However,
Speaker 2: there's other things that a president could do that it
Speaker 2: would be held responsible for. I thought it was I
Speaker 2: thought it was a pretty good decision, to be honest
Speaker 2: with you. But that's my view of it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just curious. I don't think it'll I mean,
Speaker 10: people just ignore it. But my kind of view of
Speaker 10: the thing is if the House totally drops it, that's
Speaker 10: sending a message to me that the whole thing was political.
Speaker 10: You know, we're just going after the you know, the
Speaker 10: same thing that they Which one.
Speaker 2: You're talking about? Now? Which one you're talking about? I Trump?
Speaker 10: I'm talking about. But if the if the House drops
Speaker 10: the all the investigations on Biden, then it's sending a
Speaker 10: message to me that it was all political. Well, they haven't.
Speaker 2: They haven't tried to impeach him. You know, there's you
Speaker 2: know Trump Trump faced a couple of impeachments.
Speaker 10: Why trump it though? You know, according to Trump, he's
Speaker 10: the most corrupt president we've ever had. Why would you
Speaker 10: let it go?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 2: Well, because he will be big because Trump Trump loves
Speaker 2: to engage in that's sort of sort of hyperbolic language,
Speaker 2: which which is not not possitive.
Speaker 10: That's what I'm wondering again from let me do this week.
Speaker 2: I got pack lines. I gave you more time than
Speaker 2: I could, but I got four more I got to
Speaker 2: get to And if you don't mind him, we'll continue
Speaker 2: this conversation next time.
Speaker 1: Fair enough at all?
Speaker 10: Thank you, Dan, Thanks for me.
Speaker 2: I can't appreciate it. Let me go to Bill and
Speaker 2: Leston and Bill did a call back. Bill, you must
Speaker 2: have dropped off. I put you the head of the line.
Speaker 7: You're right, head, Bill, I did.
Speaker 8: I appreciate that. Then? How you doing tonight?
Speaker 2: Great? Uh?
Speaker 8: You know, Camilla is obviously the choice they have to make.
Speaker 8: She's the only one that can get the money behind
Speaker 8: her because she's on the ticket, so she can grab
Speaker 8: whatever money Biden's raised.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 8: You know, if he had made this sisison eight and
Speaker 8: nine months ago, Woulther, It's be a different race more
Speaker 8: than likely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's very possible. I mean, you would
Speaker 2: have probably had the governor of California, Gavin Newsom in it.
Speaker 2: Maybe Gritchen Whitmer might have jumped into it, who knows.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's why I'm calling it the immaculate nomination.
Speaker 8: It really is. And you know it's it's sad like
Speaker 8: I feel like the country's people think it's a two
Speaker 8: party system. I think it's a four party system. I
Speaker 8: think both sides both Republican Democrat, split down the middle,
Speaker 8: some of so far out of the left, some so
Speaker 8: far of the right. Six simple words for the people,
Speaker 8: by the people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but what I'm saying is I think the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party is probably more united than the Republican Party.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of Republicans, whether it's Liz
Speaker 2: Cheney or former Congressman Kinsinger and others Mitt Romney, I think,
Speaker 2: who have Mike Pence, who have made it very clear
Speaker 2: they're not going to vote for Donald Trump. I think
Speaker 2: the Democrats would have fallen in line behind Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: and I think they will fall in line behind Kamala Harris.
Speaker 8: Oh I when when?
Speaker 2: When? When Trump says he's he's happy to run against
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, I'm not sure that's that that's going to
Speaker 2: turn out to be an.
Speaker 8: Ad I think and I think two like Bay come
Speaker 8: out this weekend so that Kamilla Harris has within so
Speaker 8: many points in the polls. I don't really believe so
Speaker 8: much of mainstream media. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think I think you can follow. There's a website
Speaker 2: called five thirty eight, which is I think a pretty
Speaker 2: accurate website. Also, the other thing, too, is that the
Speaker 2: American public as a whole. You and I might talk
Speaker 2: about it, but the American public as a whole, I
Speaker 2: don't think they're going to focus on this until after
Speaker 2: Labor Day and then the focus will be.
Speaker 8: Intent of the sun. Right, I mean, people are busy
Speaker 8: with their their lives and everything else, and and you
Speaker 8: know to go back to and I don't mean to
Speaker 8: you will you're talking about the last hour about it
Speaker 8: like mass and casts and the massive cast is a
Speaker 8: pimple on the Hampster being compared to what other cities
Speaker 8: are dealing with Kensington, Pennsylvania, La Damn. Mass and cast
Speaker 8: is thirty five times the size of what OZ is.
Speaker 2: All the more recent the shoot Harville.
Speaker 8: Come on, yeah, I apologize one under the sun.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Rob will catch that. Don't worry. Go ahead,
Speaker 2: which which what's your final pointing? Because I gotta I
Speaker 2: got a break for commercials, and I got three people
Speaker 2: that want to get in as well. Go right ahead.
Speaker 8: Just people should vote for four other people by the people.
Speaker 7: What do the people want?
Speaker 8: Vote for the people who are going to give you
Speaker 8: what you want?
Speaker 2: Well, I also think people, I think people should should
Speaker 2: look at the candidates. They should look at the issues
Speaker 2: and they could say, Okay, who do I agree with more?
Speaker 2: Who do I agree with less? Am I comfortable voting
Speaker 2: for that person? Or is that person, someone who I
Speaker 2: don't trust. I mean, you know, you can have anybody
Speaker 2: can say what they're doing. The thing is that both
Speaker 2: Biden and Trump had a record to run on, and Harris,
Speaker 2: I guess inherits Biden's record.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, And I'll end it with this, did
Speaker 8: I'd rather pay two dollars a gallon for gas?
Speaker 2: I think I think most people on that subject would
Speaker 2: agree with you. Thanks, we'll talk soon. Good night. All right,
Speaker 2: take a quick break. We got we got a couple
Speaker 2: of room here if you want to try six one
Speaker 2: nine three one ten thirty. The other one line is full,
Speaker 2: so six one seven nine three one ten thirty. Would
Speaker 2: try to get as everybody in as possible. Everybody on
Speaker 2: the line. Now, you're all set. Coming back on night Side.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: We will get everyone in, so hang in there, Cook
Speaker 2: and situate. Cook, welcome back.
Speaker 11: How are you, sir, Dan, Good evening, other, great show
Speaker 11: as usual, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Haven't heard from you in a one.
Speaker 11: A little bit, a little bit. I've been hustling out
Speaker 11: here working nights. But uh, I don't get a chance
Speaker 11: to call in too often, But I just want to
Speaker 11: make a couple quick points on both presidents. Carent Ten
Speaker 11: passed sure. As far as President Biden saying, I'm gonna,
Speaker 11: you know, the headline on seeing that Biden to revamp
Speaker 11: the Supreme Court dramatically. We can't Congress can't agree two
Speaker 11: Thursday today is Tuesday first. The more you know, they
Speaker 11: no way they're going to get that kind of vote
Speaker 11: in Congress. And he knows that that's kind of, you know,
Speaker 11: red meat for the very low information voter. And I
Speaker 11: think he's lost a lot of the far left wing
Speaker 11: of his party due to what's going on in Gaza,
Speaker 11: and he's trying to bring them back in with some
Speaker 11: of this red meat.
Speaker 2: That's what in my opinions, Bill Clinton used to call
Speaker 2: it chump for the Bubbas.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, and he was the king of it.
Speaker 7: He was the best at it. And and get in
Speaker 7: to the.
Speaker 11: Current president when he says he he'd rather run against
Speaker 11: Kamala Harris, I don't believe that. I think Joe Biden
Speaker 11: would have been a layup. But I think, in my opinion,
Speaker 11: Kamala Harris is the best path for victory for Trump
Speaker 11: as far as who else they had and they just threw.
Speaker 7: Them all aside.
Speaker 11: They had some better candidates than Kamala Harris. Everything is
Speaker 11: if Donald Trump's sexual pass is fair game, which it was,
Speaker 11: Stormy Daniels, everything else that her her pass is gonna
Speaker 11: be fair game. They're gonna bring every single thing up
Speaker 11: and everyone knows about it. Doesn't matter if you're a
Speaker 11: female or a male. If you want to play in
Speaker 11: this game of politics, everything's coming up. You agree, Well,
Speaker 11: I think.
Speaker 2: It's a little different, to be really honest with you.
Speaker 2: I have heard you always hear these sorts of stories,
Speaker 2: but I'm not in interested in tracking those stories. When
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Donald Trump is on audio tape
Speaker 2: on a bus saying they grab them by this, so
Speaker 2: that and uh, that sort of brings it into play.
Speaker 2: And then when Stormy Daniels makes allegations and has photographs
Speaker 2: to prove it, et cetera. You know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's stuff like that out there
Speaker 2: on other candidates that you know there was there was,
Speaker 2: that's that explicit.
Speaker 11: Well, you do have Willie Brown currently running her down,
Speaker 11: which is you know he's still around and you know
Speaker 11: she was a very young person, and you know this
Speaker 11: is all going to come out.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I think I think that they've said
Speaker 2: that they dated, but I don't know that. You know, again,
Speaker 2: I don't know that that was in the same category
Speaker 2: as I just don't want to go there because it's
Speaker 2: it's not my great show is all about.
Speaker 11: So no, I'm not I don't want to, you know.
Speaker 11: I'm just saying this is what they're gonna bring. It
Speaker 11: is going to come. And also I saw today also
Speaker 11: they were saying the Republicans are going to weaponize Kamala's
Speaker 11: words against her. Well, how do you weaponize someone's own
Speaker 11: words against them? They said what they said.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is, I think if they're smart
Speaker 2: and they stay on the issues, and they stay on
Speaker 2: the differences and issues, I think that makes it easier.
Speaker 2: But if he can't control his language and and he's
Speaker 2: saying things like if you vote for me this time,
Speaker 2: you'll never have to vote again, Well, what does that say?
Speaker 2: What does that reinforce? Cook? Come on back more often?
Speaker 11: Okay, you got nice talking to.
Speaker 2: Great talk with you. Good night, Joe and Lynn, Joe
Speaker 2: want to get you and two more in kind of quickly.
Speaker 9: And I hope I get to talk to you before
Speaker 9: we leave. Still still no change in that. I still
Speaker 9: can't get the lawyer. But anyway, I have mixed feelings.
Speaker 9: He said that to the Christians. I think they leave
Speaker 9: these people sex life alone. My other comment is on
Speaker 9: your guest, Bob, I'm for universal health care because our
Speaker 9: healthcare systems not good for us going down the tubes.
Speaker 9: I hope that Harris doesn't get in because the Democrats
Speaker 9: are doing everything they can just to promote her ways
Speaker 9: and because she in my opinion, I think she is
Speaker 9: a radical person. She would not do good for this country.
Speaker 9: She wants to take away the guns, the Second Amendment,
Speaker 9: I think, and I think she's pretty progressive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that her work in terms of
Speaker 2: the bail funds, those are all fear of games in
Speaker 2: my opinion, you know.
Speaker 9: I agree, And they should bring bring that up, Dan,
Speaker 9: they should. If Donald Trump has a debate, I hope
Speaker 9: he brings that he put people, she put people in
Speaker 9: prison for what she's doing. She's still smoking the pot
Speaker 9: from what I understand.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that. Well you never know, Well,
Speaker 2: you never know, but I don't really know what to
Speaker 2: deal with with it on my show, to be to
Speaker 2: be really honest with you. Anyway, we'll talk soon, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, don't talk to you a lot. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to you when I get back.
Speaker 7: Thanks, Joe, Okay, Thanks.
Speaker 2: Let's go from Joe and Lynn to Joe and Belmont. Joe,
Speaker 2: you've got to be real quick for me. You've called late.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately I'm got one more late to get in.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Joe, Dan, I think Israel made a mistake
Speaker 4: when they didn't get out of Gaza. When they got
Speaker 4: out of Gaza in two thousand or two thousand and three,
Speaker 4: Now was it because of you in pressure? European or
Speaker 4: US pressure? Why did they leave Gaza? And then they
Speaker 4: would have saved them a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2: That's the subject for another night, Joe. Maybe we'll talk
Speaker 2: about that tomorrow night.
Speaker 4: Can I talk about Trump?
Speaker 2: And if you can do it in about ten seconds?
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 4: Well, I think if the Democrats are elected, our country
Speaker 4: is doomed. Our country is gonna be ruined, and it'll
Speaker 4: just be the start if it's not in four years.
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Joe, again, you got a little
Speaker 2: off topic on me tonight. But maybe we'll get to
Speaker 2: the Israeli Gaza things tomorrow night. Okay, gotta run, Thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you, Joe. We're gonna go quickly. Garrett, you are
Speaker 2: the caboosa in the train. You haven't waited long. I
Speaker 2: got about ten seconds for you. Go ahead, Garrett, whate
Speaker 2: would you like to say?
Speaker 7: Tamalaharris is a disgrace.
Speaker 4: I don't know why they put her up there.
Speaker 7: She will destroy the state. The other thing is the
Speaker 7: independence are the ones that vote to make the difference.
Speaker 2: All right? I agree with you on certainly the independs
Speaker 2: will make the difference. Thanks Garrett, talk to you soon.
Speaker 2: Have a great night. Thank you for being succinct. Done
Speaker 2: for the night, Rob, Thank you, Marita, thank you to
Speaker 2: all the callers. Thank you, good show tonight, all the listeners.
Speaker 2: Thank you, all Dodgs, all cats, all pets go to heaven.
Speaker 2: That's what my pal Charlie Rays, who passed fourteen years
Speaker 2: ago in February. That's what all your pets all who passed.
Speaker 2: They loved you and you love them. I do believe
Speaker 2: you'll see them again. I'll see you on Facebook and
Speaker 2: I'll see you tomorrow night at eight oh five.
