WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>It's nice side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you easy Boston.

2
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Dan. By the way, it's just saying Trump

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 2>is going to invade Gaza, just gonna go in, take

4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 2>it over, boom, make it ours. What is going on?

5
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Can you? I was just thinking about this. So you

6
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 2>had Trump for four terms for four years, with one

7
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>term through the whole COVID thing, which he botched, and

8
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if anybody would have done a great

9
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>job with COVID. I think the second guess Fauci is

10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>just hypocritical, ludis ludicrous. Nobody knew what we were dealing with.

11
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Did we overreact, yes, but people were dying, so to

12
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>be critical of Fauci to me is ignorant. But I

13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 2>also think the way Trump drink bleach, I mean, come on,

14
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>but the economy was good, so people love the economy.

15
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 2>But he gets ousted, then he comes back four years later.

16
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>What would it have been like if Trump had stayed

17
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.439
<v Speaker 2>for another four years? Where would we be if it

18
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>would have been eight consecutive years as opposed to four

19
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 2>years on, four years off, four years on. Because right

20
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 2>now this dude is being shot out of a cannon.

21
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>He wants to own everything. He wants to close everything.

22
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 2>He wants to buy the Gaza strip. You know, last

23
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 2>time I looked, it wasn't for sale or he's going

24
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to take it through what emminent domain? Why would you

25
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>want it? I mean, God, those poor people, I mean

26
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>the people who lived in Gaza. Did they really want

27
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>to live there? The conditions were humane? And oh, by

28
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 2>the way, President Trump, do you think Hamas is gonna

29
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>have something to say about this?

30
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Now?

31
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 2>He says he wants to take the Palestinians and move

32
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>them from Gaza. If I'm a Palestinian, You're going to

33
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>send me away from Gaza? Man, where do I sign up?

34
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>I am out? I just look at the poor people

35
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>who have lived. I don't want to get it. God,

36
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>this is where I'm gonna get I can't get into

37
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>it to a debate in Palistine versus Israel. I'm not

38
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 2>smart enough, all right, But I do look at the

39
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>conditions in Palestine and I go, oh my god, those

40
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>poor people. How can I not have compassion for that?

41
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not talking about Hamas. I'm talking about just

42
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>regular people that get up every day and want to

43
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>make it through the day. That's what I'm talking about. Okay,

44
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>but I mean Trump is and when anyone to close

45
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Education, well he said he wants to

46
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>leave it to the states. Well how does that affect

47
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>financial aid for people that want to go to college?

48
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>The ability to afford college now is crazy, It's crazy.

49
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>It costs a fortune for post secondary education. I will

50
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>tell young people, look to become an electrician, you know,

51
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 2>or a plumber. Those guys are they're crushing it and

52
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>they don't have the loans. But he says, we'll take Gaza.

53
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 2>And then I just saw this Joe Biden. Joe Biden

54
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>signed with c AA. Is that true? What Biden signed

55
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 2>with the Creative Artists Agency? That can't be true. What

56
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, God bless the man. I mean, look, he

57
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 2>put serve the country. Uh was a civil servant. But

58
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's kind of over. I mean, he couldn't

59
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>hand a runner for presidency. I mean, I blame Biden.

60
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>If you're anti Trump, you should blame Biden, not Trump,

61
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 2>because Biden should have stepped out of the way. He

62
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>never should have tried to run a second term. So

63
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 2>if you're pissed off that Trump's in, blame Biden. Period.

64
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>End of story. Blame the Democrats. Think about it for

65
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>a minute. Trump was voted out of office, and four

66
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>years later he won. And he won both votes, no question,

67
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>no doubt. That's it. Okay. I broke up with my

68
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 2>significant other. Then four years later I decided that I

69
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 2>was better off with them. I mean, just the whole

70
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>thing is insane if you really think about it. We

71
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't want Trump four years ago, but now we want them.

72
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Blame again, Blame the Democrats, and blame Biden. If you're

73
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>pissed off at Trump. I mean, Trump is just running

74
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:05.399
<v Speaker 2>around saying stuff that you just can't take seriously. Now

75
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>he's got some points. Obviously, you have to trim some

76
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 2>fat with the government. I understand that. But say, we're

77
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.480
<v Speaker 2>just going to eliminate the Department of Education again, the

78
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>financial aid for people to go to college. You can't

79
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 2>afford it. Okay, that's important, that's important. And then we're

80
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 2>going to leave it to the individual states. Are they

81
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 2>prepared to do that? You want to make it more efficient? Fine,

82
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.839
<v Speaker 2>you just can't send your guy Musk running around blowing

83
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>everybody out of the water. We're going to invade Gaza. God,

84
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 2>what's the song we claim to paradise and put up

85
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 2>a parking lot brutal and Biden's signing would see So

86
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Biden and Tom Cruise have the same agent. Does that

87
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 2>mean Biden's gonna be in Miss Impossible eight or ten

88
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 2>or twelve or whatever it is? How about this? I

89
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>saw this on Fox News. I just had the television

90
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>monitor on in here whether Stephen A. Smith was on?

91
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>And could Stephen A. Smith run for president? And at

92
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 2>first Stephen A. Smith from ESPN, by the way, who's

93
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.759
<v Speaker 2>a smart guy, and he's a terrific entertainer. And then

94
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I went, come on, stephen A. Smith. And then I went,

95
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 2>wait a minute, why couldn't he be president? If Donald

96
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Trump can be president, not president and be president again,

97
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Stephen A. Smith can be president. He can be absolutely,

98
00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:02.319
<v Speaker 2>there's no doubt how the press conferences would be outstanding.

99
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. And he's I'm just thinking Stephen A.

100
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Smith as president. It's not nuts. I'm not saying it's

101
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>going to happen tomorrow, ten years from now when he's

102
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 2>a little bit older, because he's obviously making all the

103
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 2>rounds on the political talk shows. Because look, sports talk

104
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>on television is coming to an end. The younger generation

105
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't want it. I todd in Emerson for a year.

106
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Like I grew up, I watched Sports Center. We had

107
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>great success at Comcast Sports That, at NBC Sports Boston,

108
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>New England, Sports Tonight, all those shows. The younger generation

109
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 2>they don't watch it. Everything's TikTok, everything's on the phone.

110
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>They watch clips, they watch clips of those shows. You know.

111
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>But steven A in part of the interruption with Kwan Heizer,

112
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 2>and that's coming to an end, right, I think in

113
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 2>June with Will Want, I mean, they just help young

114
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 2>people just don't watch it. I would never miss around

115
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the Horn, not necessarily not around the Horn. That game

116
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>show that Yeah, that kind of bothered me. It was

117
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>like just talk sports. But in part of the interruption,

118
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 2>I would never miss part in the interruption, especially when

119
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:26.079
<v Speaker 2>my guy Bob Bryan was on. Uh. But steven A

120
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 2>you can already you can tell that steven A is

121
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>looking for a path to another career because he's doing

122
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 2>the political thing. Because the talk stuff on ESPN's coming

123
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 2>to an end. It's just this, So I will predict

124
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that this dude, steven A. Smith, will be a political pundit.

125
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Don't be surprised if he runs for something, he'd probably

126
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>make more money being a political pundit. That may be

127
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>the way to go, you know, put him on gut

128
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Field or whatever, or with Fox and see how that goes.

129
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you could be a talking head, why

130
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>would you want to be president. If you could make

131
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>two three four million dollars a year as a talking

132
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 2>head telling everybody what Washington is doing wrong, why would

133
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>you want to be in the oval office. I think

134
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the problems. I think there are some

135
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 2>very qualified people that just don't want the job. They

136
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 2>just say it's not worth it. The circus is not

137
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>worth it. They it doesn't have I think for some

138
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't have the quorum that once did, where the

139
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 2>presidency of the United States was sacred. There was something

140
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 2>very regal about it. Not a king, I understand that.

141
00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 2>But Trump just brings a different field to it. Biden

142
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 2>brought a different field to it. I mean, poor Joe.

143
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he was obviously too old for the gig.

144
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>But our last two presidents not very presidential in my eyes. Look,

145
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm a registered Democrat, but that doesn't mean I vote Democrat.

146
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean Reagan. Reagan was very presidential, which is going

147
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to bring me to my next topic, ladies and gentlemen,

148
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>why we can't be a country of reason, we are

149
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 2>a country of extremes. And that's coming up next on

150
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.120
<v Speaker 2>wbz's Nightside.

151
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

152
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios.

153
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm WBZ News Radio. All right, Gary Tangering for Dan here.

154
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go through just looking at the list

155
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>of presidents, and I'm going to start with Fdr Franklin

156
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Deleanor Roosevelt, who served four terms and as we know

157
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't happen any more, term limits, thank god, down

158
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to two. Then you had give him hell, Harry Now

159
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Roosevelt obviously a Democrat in the New Deal put people

160
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 2>back to work. A lot of people say his wife

161
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>was running the country because he was sickly towards the

162
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>end of his term, and they give him. How Harry

163
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Truman came in, ended the war, dropped the bomb in Hiroshima.

164
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>But the New Deal got us out of the depression,

165
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 2>putting people to work, obviously the government having an impact

166
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.679
<v Speaker 2>on the economy. And then we go to Dwight D. Eisenhower,

167
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.559
<v Speaker 2>a Republican, and you take a look at the fifties, right,

168
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 2>in the fifties where America was great. We were like

169
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.200
<v Speaker 2>in my hometown of Rum from Maine, I think in

170
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 2>the fifties or at the beginning of the sixties. I

171
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 2>was always told that the paper mill, which at the

172
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 2>time was Oxford Paper Company, became out Bois and Cascade.

173
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what the hell the name of it

174
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 2>is now, Page New Page, but anyways, they said it

175
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 2>was the largest manufacturing facility in the world under one roof.

176
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea if that was true or not,

177
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.960
<v Speaker 2>but I do know this is my hometown, which was

178
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:23.240
<v Speaker 2>a factory town was booming. It was booming, Unions were strong,

179
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>people were making money. Dwight D. Eisenhower, of course, the

180
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>famous general during World War Two, came in and he

181
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 2>was president. So we had a Republican and from fifty

182
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 2>three to sixty one, what was there really the bitch about.

183
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Elvis was on TV swinging his hips, so

184
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>they cut him off so you couldn't see from the

185
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 2>waist down. I mean, that was really it. Obviously there

186
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>are racial issues, but they were simmering and things would

187
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>over boil obviously in the sixties, and then we go

188
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>to a Democrat JFK, who is extremely liberal, as we know,

189
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>in more ways than one. I don't have a feel

190
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.399
<v Speaker 2>for Johnson at all. I suppose if you're a Democrat

191
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.639
<v Speaker 2>from Texas, that's like being a Republican from New York

192
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.240
<v Speaker 2>or maybe Massachusetts.

193
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

194
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 2>And then when Nick this is where things really started

195
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>to go from one extreme to the next. I remember

196
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>when Nixon resigned, I am not a crook, Watergate so forth.

197
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 2>He was paranoid. That's what he was. He was paranoid.

198
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.080
<v Speaker 2>He was no fool. I mean, we should have been

199
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>out of Vietnam. Viennam was a mess. We botched that.

200
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 2>We never should have been there in the first place.

201
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:52.720
<v Speaker 2>But you know Nixon, well, he lost to Kennedy because

202
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>of the debate, and Kennedy was the television president. He

203
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.120
<v Speaker 2>looked great, he was young, he was good looking, and

204
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.240
<v Speaker 2>he just looked better than Richard Nixon. And that's when

205
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 2>we started to really get into how the on camera

206
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 2>president came to be. So Nixon gets paranoid, they tap Watergate.

207
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Considering what has happened recently in the world, listening in

208
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>onto the opposing party's strategies seems like small potatoes. Jerald

209
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Ford as a report. Well, he took over because Nixon resigned.

210
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.320
<v Speaker 2>We know that. Then you go to Jimmy Carter, God

211
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.799
<v Speaker 2>bless him, who lived at ninety years old and was

212
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:36.080
<v Speaker 2>building houses for the poor. I mean, is there any

213
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.519
<v Speaker 2>whether you agree, you probably, whether you agree or disagree

214
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>with this politics, is there anybody who lived a more

215
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 2>fuller life of civil service than Jimmy Carter. That was unbelievable.

216
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:53.679
<v Speaker 2>He was a nucleier, scientist, an Annapolis guy, brilliant. He

217
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>just wanted to help his neighbor. That's what he wanted

218
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 2>to do. That was it. That's all they got. Did

219
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:05.120
<v Speaker 2>not want to make a lot of money. And then

220
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Carter when he got booted, he got booted because well,

221
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.360
<v Speaker 2>the Iran contra, the Iran the Iran hostin situation made

222
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:17.240
<v Speaker 2>him look really bad. They tried to rescue the hostages

223
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and it went bad. One of the helicopters crashed and

224
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.919
<v Speaker 2>they weren't able to get it done. And people just

225
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>felt this guy looks weak and they weren't wrong. I mean,

226
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Carter was a very smart, smart guy, but he

227
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 2>wasn't very presidential. He wasn't like you can disagree with Obama,

228
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:50.559
<v Speaker 2>but Obama was presidential, Reagan presidential, the first George Bush.

229
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the guy did run the CIA, so we

230
00:15:55.960 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>know he had people killed. And I'm still convinced that

231
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 2>George W. Bush did not want the gig. He wanted

232
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Clinton to take it. So the point I'm making here

233
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 2>is we go from Kennedy the liberal, and Johnson took

234
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>over him when he was assassinated. So we'll go from

235
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.559
<v Speaker 2>the Kennedy administration Johnson to Nixon. So we go back

236
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>from one to the other, one from the other. We

237
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>go from extreme to extreme to extreme. We go from Carter,

238
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>who wants to feed the world and be nice to everybody,

239
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to Reagan and Reaganomics and let's read the let's do

240
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the power tie, and let's put money in our pocket

241
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:43.279
<v Speaker 2>and let's be a world power. Let's show people that

242
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>we belonged with strength. When you had Carter, who wanted

243
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:52.919
<v Speaker 2>to hug everybody, and then you bring in Clinton, the

244
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:59.919
<v Speaker 2>opposite of Reagan liberal, and then Obama, who started well

245
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.879
<v Speaker 2>after George. Then you had George then that you know,

246
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.400
<v Speaker 2>after Clinton, the Democrats couldn't bring anybody else in. You're

247
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.240
<v Speaker 2>bringing George W. Bush. Well, they had Gore a lot

248
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 2>of people think gorsh the one Bush one. But it's

249
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 2>like we go back and forth, we play tennis, and

250
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.319
<v Speaker 2>then we've gone from Barack Obama, who I thought was

251
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:28.440
<v Speaker 2>a great president, to Trump. Can you think of two

252
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.319
<v Speaker 2>more different people in the world. Why do we do this?

253
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Anybody got any ideas? Six one, seven, two, four thirty?

254
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Why do we go from one side to the other.

255
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.079
<v Speaker 2>I believe the majority of America is in the middle.

256
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:49.799
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not talking about geographically. I believe the majority

257
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of America is you got to pay your own way.

258
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Speaker 2>If you can help your neighbor, you do it. When

259
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 2>it comes to sexual identity and gay rights, it's your

260
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 2>own business, do your own thing. Whatever you need to do,

261
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.039
<v Speaker 2>whoever you need to be is fine. But I don't

262
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>want to pay for everybody. I believe that's what the

263
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.839
<v Speaker 2>majority of Americans think. And we want to have a

264
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.960
<v Speaker 2>strong defense, but we also want to have compassion. We

265
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.680
<v Speaker 2>want to be a country of reason, but now we're

266
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:25.680
<v Speaker 2>a country of extremes. Well, you have Biden who wants

267
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.599
<v Speaker 2>to pay for everybody's college interest at three hundred million

268
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it was, which I had a real problem with.

269
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I paid my way, I paid my way through college.

270
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Now I understand college is through the roof. I still

271
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>think and this may be a little too socialistic. They

272
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.240
<v Speaker 2>got to do something with the price of colleges or

273
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 2>you know something, Trump, if you want to do something,

274
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you want to do something with the Department of Education.

275
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Tell the Department of Education to make post secondary education

276
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>affordable at a quality level for Americans, for those who

277
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>can't afford Syracuse at ninety Grand or Bates or Bowden

278
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:13.559
<v Speaker 2>or Amherst or Harvard or Yale. Have that organization. Make

279
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.400
<v Speaker 2>sure that it is an alternative where somebody can afford

280
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 2>to go to college and get a good education. Now

281
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.359
<v Speaker 2>that would make sense. But he wants to wipe all

282
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 2>that out and leave it to the States, which is ludicrous.

283
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy we go from one to the other. And

284
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's the political parties problems. Maybe it's MSNBC problem.

285
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was all caused by MSNBC and Fox because

286
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.279
<v Speaker 2>you go we watch one station. I mean, all you

287
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.240
<v Speaker 2>have to do is look at see how they cover

288
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:51.799
<v Speaker 2>the different stories. They have complete completely different angles. So

289
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's television's But maybe we should blame Murdoch and

290
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.400
<v Speaker 2>GE because GE owned NBC when they put on MSNBC.

291
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.039
<v Speaker 2>So they get the liberals watching one thing, you got

292
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:03.799
<v Speaker 2>the conservatives watching the other thing, and the two shall

293
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 2>never meet. And when they have tried to do CNN

294
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>tried to do it. They tried to be somewhere in

295
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:13.079
<v Speaker 2>the middle. They got killed in the ratings, destroyed in

296
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the ratings. We're country ruled by extremism. Why tell me?

297
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.440
<v Speaker 2>At six, one, seven, two thirty back after.

298
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>This, It's Night Side with Dan Ray on.

299
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Boston's news radio. All right, Gary tangway for Dan tonight

300
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>we have become a country of extremism? Is it the media?

301
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Is it our lack of patience? Well, this president wasn't perfect,

302
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna swing all the way over to the right.

303
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean the Democrats, they totally screwed this up. Biden

304
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.839
<v Speaker 2>was Biden in no way should have been running for

305
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.160
<v Speaker 2>a second term. And Kamala was completely unprepared in hindsight,

306
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:01.559
<v Speaker 2>was an awful candidate. Awful candidate. So Democrats, if you're bitching,

307
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 2>blame Joe and Joe Biden, simple as that. Yeah, But

308
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>why can't we just find some common ground? Why do

309
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.559
<v Speaker 2>we have to fly all over the place. I don't

310
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand it. And yes, if Donald Trump can

311
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 2>be president, so can Stephen A. Smith. I'm not joking,

312
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 2>Johnny and Lewister, help me out. You're on WBZY, what's up?

313
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 4>I don't agreement. I think sometimes you're out of control

314
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 4>with your opinions.

315
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, go ahead. What do you got for me?

316
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:40.920
<v Speaker 5>Then?

317
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, you you hate Joe Biden, you hate John Trump?

318
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.759
<v Speaker 4>Everybody I was saying, like, yous are so.

319
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Crazy.

320
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:56.680
<v Speaker 4>He is good to be measure you know.

321
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm just not that easy to sell. I mean,

322
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing I don't just because I don't. Look. I

323
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:10.519
<v Speaker 2>don't have to like either candidate. How could you, I mean, seriously,

324
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>think about it. If you're a person, if you're a

325
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>reasonable person, okay, if you're a reasonable person. Donald Trump

326
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 2>says I want to buy I want to come in

327
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 2>and take over the Gaza strip. That is not a

328
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 2>reasonable statement. How can you take him seriously? Joe Biden

329
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.119
<v Speaker 2>did not have the proper faculties to get through a debate.

330
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.519
<v Speaker 2>How can I take him seriously? Why I have to

331
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:45.759
<v Speaker 2>like one of the other. No way. That's the problem

332
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 2>is people are voting now for the lesser of two evils.

333
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean think about how Trump won decidedly. Decidedly, Kamala

334
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:04.640
<v Speaker 2>had Oprah didn't matter because Trump speaks like a normal person.

335
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>He does he does not talk down to people. He's

336
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 2>a bully, but he says not talk down to people.

337
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Trump is an amazing communicator. You have to

338
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.400
<v Speaker 2>watch the movie The Apprentice. You have to watch it

339
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>because it will tell you everything you need. And I

340
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 2>know it's fictionalized, but it will tell you everything you

341
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.920
<v Speaker 2>need to know on how this guy got here. Try

342
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I've talked, We've talked about it with people on this show.

343
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean Trump talks out of his ass. I mean,

344
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.759
<v Speaker 2>we all know that he can't take over. The guy's

345
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:43.799
<v Speaker 2>a strip. It's not gonna happen. Let's say he can't.

346
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:47.599
<v Speaker 2>He can't go It's not gonna happen, right, I mean

347
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 2>shutting down the Department of Education, It's not gonna happen.

348
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.319
<v Speaker 2>Congress has to approve it. But what he does do

349
00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 2>is he says it even he knows he can't do it.

350
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:06.519
<v Speaker 2>He knows he can't do it, just like if you

351
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>watch the movie Inning Apprentice. Sebastian Stan who I think

352
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.839
<v Speaker 2>should win the Academy Award. I thought he was unbelievable.

353
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Just says things. I you know, the guy, he's got

354
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.319
<v Speaker 2>creditors chasing him, he's facing bankruptcy. Doesn't matter, buy it.

355
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make it the biggest

356
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 2>building in the world. I mean Atlantic City for Trump

357
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:33.480
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, did not work out well,

358
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 2>didn't matter. Build a taj mahal go go, go, go go.

359
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>That's what Trump has done his own career. He's doing

360
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:44.799
<v Speaker 2>the same thing now. He's doing the same thing now

361
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.799
<v Speaker 2>that he did with real estate. I'm gonna build the biggest,

362
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:53.359
<v Speaker 2>the bestest hotel in New York. He's saying to say,

363
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 2>did he he didn't have the money, but he got

364
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 2>it after he kept saying he did, and he pulled

365
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it off. And he's doing the same thing that have

366
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:07.880
<v Speaker 2>shut down to the Parliament. Congress has to elect to

367
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.440
<v Speaker 2>shut down to the Department of Education, It's not gonna happen.

368
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to trimp some fat with the Department

369
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:15.359
<v Speaker 2>of Education. Of course you want to trimp fat in

370
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:22.960
<v Speaker 2>the government period. Absolutely, But the Department of Education handles

371
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.680
<v Speaker 2>to make sure kids that cannot walk and go to school,

372
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>that they have wheelchairs, that it's handicapped accessible, that a

373
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>number of handicap whether it's sightless, whether it's herring, imperiod,

374
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 2>emotionally disturbed. I mean, I mean, we are a country

375
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 2>that takes care of people, so you need that for

376
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:46.680
<v Speaker 2>these people in school. I mean, if you have a

377
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 2>healthy kid, good background, get some money in his pocket,

378
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:52.480
<v Speaker 2>can go to school. He's fine. What about everybody else?

379
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:55.519
<v Speaker 2>What about the parts of the country where the schools

380
00:25:55.519 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 2>are not properly funded. I'm gonna leave it to the States. Really, really,

381
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it can't happen, but Trump it doesn't. And Trump knows it,

382
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:08.920
<v Speaker 2>but he says at the Department of Education, shut it down.

383
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 2>And he knows it's not gonna happen, but he'll get

384
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.519
<v Speaker 2>credit for the idea, just like the gods are stripped.

385
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 2>You know what, we'll buy it, we'll take it. We'll

386
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.759
<v Speaker 2>tear down Paradise and put up a parking lot. I mean,

387
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:32.079
<v Speaker 2>he knows it's not gonna happen, but he says it anyways,

388
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:35.559
<v Speaker 2>he can't believe it's gonna happen. And people love ah.

389
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Way to go, Donald, that's there, how to go smoking

390
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:47.319
<v Speaker 2>mirrors man. And he's the president. So if Donald can

391
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 2>be president, so can Stephen E. Smith, Patrick and Brain Tree.

392
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:55.440
<v Speaker 5>You're on WBZ, Hey, Gary, been listening to you since

393
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.039
<v Speaker 5>a long time ago on a sports network. I won't

394
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.039
<v Speaker 5>necessarily mention on this.

395
00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 3>There, but.

396
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 2>You appreciate it.

397
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.519
<v Speaker 5>I have an answer for you in terms of two things.

398
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:10.160
<v Speaker 5>One why Trump's so successful in just saying things and

399
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.559
<v Speaker 5>two why kind of Americans are brought to me so extremists.

400
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:15.319
<v Speaker 5>If you'll hear me.

401
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 2>On then I'll absolutely I would love to find I'm

402
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.240
<v Speaker 2>looking for answers, man, because I find it fascinating.

403
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.559
<v Speaker 5>Well, think about I think back to when Americans were

404
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 5>first really divided on a big political issue, and it

405
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:35.480
<v Speaker 5>was one of those things where you could define yourself

406
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:37.960
<v Speaker 5>as on one side or the other. And I'll give

407
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.839
<v Speaker 5>you the line to set it off, because it was

408
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:43.720
<v Speaker 5>reinforced through the media, you know, regardless of what it

409
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:47.079
<v Speaker 5>was conservative or liberal media. It was George W. Bush's

410
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:52.839
<v Speaker 5>you're either with us or you're with the terrorists. And

411
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:55.079
<v Speaker 5>that was a reaction to the Patriot Act and going

412
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 5>into Iraq and a lot of issues that were very big, big,

413
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.200
<v Speaker 5>and that was his was his you know, balwart thing,

414
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:05.319
<v Speaker 5>you're with us, meeting the administration and how we want

415
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 5>to do things, or you're with the terrorists, and that hits,

416
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:12.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, the fear button in every American. I don't

417
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 5>want to be with the terrorists.

418
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I never thought of it that way, but I understand.

419
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:18.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were going to go I thought you

420
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:20.400
<v Speaker 2>were going to start with the civil war. But I

421
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:21.559
<v Speaker 2>never thought of it that way.

422
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.039
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, no, no, because we've we've had harmony since then.

423
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:28.599
<v Speaker 5>I'm not saying harmony harmony, but like we've been able

424
00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:32.039
<v Speaker 5>to disagree reasonably since then over a lot of issues.

425
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.720
<v Speaker 5>For you know, even in the eighties, even in the nineties,

426
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:36.680
<v Speaker 5>we were able to disagree reasonably.

427
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean I've heard people say, you know, I.

428
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:42.279
<v Speaker 5>Heard the going into a wreck, and if you oppose that,

429
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:44.599
<v Speaker 5>you're with the terrorists, that's what it would first kind

430
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:50.759
<v Speaker 5>of weaponize the division. Well after I did my college

431
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 5>thesis on that, so I mean I was I was

432
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 5>there in college watching it happen in real time, and

433
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:58.640
<v Speaker 5>I studied political science, though I never actually got to

434
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:00.599
<v Speaker 5>use it in my career, and that's what I did

435
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.200
<v Speaker 5>my thesis on.

436
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a great thesis, and I think you're right,

437
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a very good point. It's a very good point

438
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 2>because when nine to eleven happened, obviously was on our

439
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.480
<v Speaker 2>soil and had never happened before, well since Pearl Harbor,

440
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.640
<v Speaker 2>but at least in the forty eight States and this

441
00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 2>this generation, and there's no doubt that that it really

442
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 2>shook us. And there are people that still say we

443
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.039
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't have gone into Iraq at that particular time or

444
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.599
<v Speaker 2>the time that we went in, uh, the various times

445
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.440
<v Speaker 2>we've gone into the Middle East, that we were just

446
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 2>chasing ghosts, and we did it. We did it, we

447
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:38.799
<v Speaker 2>did it to Oh my god, I'm blanking on the

448
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:44.720
<v Speaker 2>dude that we got buried in the fox hole. I'm saying,

449
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Osama bin lying, but Sama saying, I mean, there are

450
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 2>some still that feel that we didn't need to do that.

451
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:56.359
<v Speaker 2>But it makes America feel good, right, But you just

452
00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:57.000
<v Speaker 2>you just hit.

453
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.759
<v Speaker 5>It right there with America feel good, because that was

454
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 5>the other half of it there. And then I'll just

455
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:05.319
<v Speaker 5>make my one comment on why I think we're swinging

456
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 5>so far to the extremes now. But the the reason

457
00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:10.960
<v Speaker 5>you were just saying that it makes us feel good

458
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 5>is that the liberals of the time were not very

459
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.920
<v Speaker 5>much for going in Iraq because we didn't necessarily, despite

460
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:20.680
<v Speaker 5>what was argued about, there was no real proof that

461
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 5>there was weapons of mass destruction at the beginning, and

462
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:26.279
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people talked against it, but that was

463
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:28.839
<v Speaker 5>again that didn't work for George W. Bush in terms

464
00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 5>of you're with us or you're with the terrorists, and

465
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 5>so it wasn't allowed Iraq, and a lot of the

466
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:35.799
<v Speaker 5>war on Terror wasn't allowed to be a good war

467
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:39.480
<v Speaker 5>the way World War Two was. They attacked us, we

468
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 5>are going to come back and fight them as a

469
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:44.920
<v Speaker 5>unified force, and it will be a good war. And

470
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:49.440
<v Speaker 5>that's what George W. Bush's administration really wanted. But the

471
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 5>liberal the liberals and a lot of the anti war

472
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.720
<v Speaker 5>group didn't, you know, they they didn't see it that way,

473
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:58.799
<v Speaker 5>and so that that's what really was the first seed

474
00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:01.279
<v Speaker 5>of that kind of division. Now let me just fast

475
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:04.720
<v Speaker 5>forward really quick the reason why Donald Trump is able

476
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 5>to kind of weaponize it. It's very complicated, you know,

477
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:10.240
<v Speaker 5>in the last you know, ten fifteen years, but I

478
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.160
<v Speaker 5>don't have obviously the time to say that on a

479
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.079
<v Speaker 5>radio show. But Donald Trump is able to weaponize the

480
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:20.519
<v Speaker 5>three main things that kind of push the average American

481
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:22.480
<v Speaker 5>and I'm talking about the you know, that independent voter.

482
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 5>They always talk about the one who might, you know,

483
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:25.319
<v Speaker 5>go one side or the other.

484
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, right.

485
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:31.839
<v Speaker 5>Donald Trump can motivate that voter using three levers, one

486
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:34.359
<v Speaker 5>of which didn't exist until Donald Trump started using it.

487
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.440
<v Speaker 5>And as soon as I say, you're going to agree, Donald,

488
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.440
<v Speaker 5>the Republican Party had been really good at weaponizing fear

489
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.559
<v Speaker 5>and greed. Fear of Obama he's a Muslim, he's a terrorist,

490
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:50.640
<v Speaker 5>he's a socialist whatever, and greed of Hey, the liberals

491
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 5>are going to just destroy your economy. Everything's horrible. We

492
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 5>heard about the price of eggs NonStop right up until

493
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.839
<v Speaker 5>election day, and suddenly the price of eggs is no longer,

494
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.759
<v Speaker 5>you know, on Fox News every other day or most

495
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 5>other conservative radio shows. So fear and greed. But here's

496
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 5>what Donald Trump added to the equation that's been so potent. Vengeance.

497
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:16.200
<v Speaker 5>I am your vengeance. It's all about vengeance. That's Canada

498
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 5>for the problem they did. America is going to take

499
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 5>the Gaza strip because some Americans were taking hostage along

500
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.319
<v Speaker 5>with the Israelis or allies. So we're gonna take Gaza

501
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:28.880
<v Speaker 5>from them. That could be our vengeance. We're gonna kill

502
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.880
<v Speaker 5>whoever it is, you know, the general in Iran, because

503
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.960
<v Speaker 5>that's our vengeance.

504
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's a great point. It's a really great point.

505
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:41.759
<v Speaker 5>It's the cocaine of American politics, and we're addicted.

506
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.480
<v Speaker 2>You should have your own show man, Dave. Thanks for

507
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the call, Patrick, Thank you for the call. Thank you

508
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:51.480
<v Speaker 2>have a good day. Great call. All right, David san Antoni,

509
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:53.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to talk to you next year on WBZ.

510
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Why do we swing from one side to the other?

511
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 2>And I'll tell you vengeance. That's right. People are angry,

512
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:05.440
<v Speaker 2>and so isn't Trump And he stirs the pot, he

513
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.920
<v Speaker 2>stirs the hornet's nest. Nothing he says is gonna happen.

514
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:11.839
<v Speaker 2>But people love to hear it because it allows them

515
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:16.200
<v Speaker 2>to be angry. Excellent point, excellent call. David san Antonio

516
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:18.039
<v Speaker 2>coming up next after the break on WBZ.

517

00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 1>to Night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Why welcome back, Gary and for danton and I coming

520
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.160
<v Speaker 2>up at eleven o'clock. We're gonna lighten up the topic

521
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.799
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. A talk with Scartt Barredell, marketing expert

522
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:38.880
<v Speaker 2>on the Super Bowl commercials what we can expect to

523
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.279
<v Speaker 2>see and one of the best ones from the year's

524
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:45.359
<v Speaker 2>gone by, and there's a lot to pick from, a lot.

525
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:48.960
<v Speaker 2>For me, it's still bud why sir, But that doesn't

526
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:51.119
<v Speaker 2>make anybody's list. Remember the frogs with the tongues and

527
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.480
<v Speaker 2>all that. Okay, if you do your dating yourself. But

528
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.359
<v Speaker 2>welcome to the club, David san Antonio. Why are we

529
00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.839
<v Speaker 2>swinging so far to the left and so far to

530
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:00.240
<v Speaker 2>the right.

531
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.839
<v Speaker 3>Well as the ignorance of the American voter, that's all

532
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 3>that is. I think that the American voter finally got

533
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:14.400
<v Speaker 3>a little intelligence and voted for Donald Trump. And they

534
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 3>voted for Elon Musk, and they voted for the Ramaswami,

535
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.079
<v Speaker 3>and they voted for Robert F. Kennedy, and they voted

536
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:27.239
<v Speaker 3>for uh uh Pam Bondi, and they voted for Patel,

537
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 3>and they voted for all of.

538
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, Dave, slow down. They didn't vote for

539
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 2>all those people. They voted for Trump.

540
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, but they won all of them.

541
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Happy, What do you mean they want all of them?

542
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if anybody, why, backup, back up, backup, backup back.

543
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 2>You voted for Trump. That's fine. Look the economy was

544
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:49.559
<v Speaker 2>good when he was in office. The way he handled

545
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:54.480
<v Speaker 2>COVID was stupid, but uh, he won. He won handedly. Look,

546
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:55.840
<v Speaker 2>he blew out the I'm not going to say he

547
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:59.079
<v Speaker 2>blew out the Democrats, but the people spoke. He won.

548
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:03.599
<v Speaker 2>Good for him. How can you like RFK Jr? How

549
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:05.079
<v Speaker 2>can you like r F K Junior?

550
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I like him? Why could I like him? Because he

551
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 3>definitely believes what I believe That all this food our

552
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 3>children are eating, that these people are putting on our

553
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:18.679
<v Speaker 3>shelves are garbage.

554
00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's nothing new. He's not the first one to

555
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:21.199
<v Speaker 2>say that.

556
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:23.960
<v Speaker 3>And he wants to take it off the shelf.

557
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:27.400
<v Speaker 2>If you need, if you need RFK Junior, if you

558
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.719
<v Speaker 2>need r. K Jr. To tell you how to eat, well,

559
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.159
<v Speaker 2>that I don't know. But here's a guy that said,

560
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:40.920
<v Speaker 2>you know when it comes to medical situations, that you

561
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.960
<v Speaker 2>know when when it comes to fighting COVID in the vaccinations,

562
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.960
<v Speaker 2>vaccinations are bad. And he goes in front of Congress

563
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:49.039
<v Speaker 2>and says he never said it. He's nuts.

564
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.559
<v Speaker 3>Du They said, he never said it against all vaccines. COVID, yes,

565
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:56.960
<v Speaker 3>but no.

566
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Not just COVID. He said it against other vaccines as

567
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:01.280
<v Speaker 2>well well.

568
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:07.159
<v Speaker 3>There are other vaccines that are bad. Well, if you

569
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:08.800
<v Speaker 3>want to if you want to look at the if

570
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 3>you want to look at Big Farmer as some savior

571
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:12.679
<v Speaker 3>of mad.

572
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Kind, that far Look, hey, listen, when it comes to

573
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:18.440
<v Speaker 2>our kids, we spread out the vaccines. We've done that.

574
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I understand that as opposed to doing them all and once.

575
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:25.960
<v Speaker 2>You want to spread them out, that's fine, But I mean, look,

576
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you can. Obviously you did not

577
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.840
<v Speaker 2>get vaccinated. Did you not get vaccinated for COVID?

578
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 3>I got the first and almost died.

579
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 2>So you almost died because of the vaccine or because

580
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.960
<v Speaker 2>of COVID vaccine? How did the vaccine almost kill you?

581
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:45.719
<v Speaker 3>A plot.

582
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Ah side effect? Got it? Got it? Yeah? Well, I

583
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 2>mean that's fair. I hear you. But I just think

584
00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:58.639
<v Speaker 2>I think RFK Junior is a hypocrite.

585
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:01.559
<v Speaker 3>You know that's I'm a very good man.

586
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:02.039
<v Speaker 1>You know.

587
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:04.599
<v Speaker 3>They killed his dad, they killed his uncle.

588
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I understand that's right.

589
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:11.400
<v Speaker 3>In America, and his family have been devoted to this country,

590
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:12.760
<v Speaker 3>whether you believe it or not.

591
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:16.880
<v Speaker 2>No, I understand his family's not devoting with him. His

592
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:19.840
<v Speaker 2>family's not devoted to him.

593
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.880
<v Speaker 3>He's on a different path. But he's on the right path.

594
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:26.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, Dams, I've dude, thanks for the phone call.

595
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:30.159
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it. Six seven thirty to wrap up the

596
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:34.960
<v Speaker 2>topic here, the polarization of America. We just can't seem

597
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>to get it down the middle. Close everything, do this,

598
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:43.199
<v Speaker 2>do that, and every four years it changes, so you

599
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:48.719
<v Speaker 2>can't really stick to a plan, right, You can't say, okay,

600
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:52.960
<v Speaker 2>well that's what's happening now. At least Hey, look, Obama

601
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 2>got Obamacare done. That was not a bad thing. And

602
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:59.400
<v Speaker 2>here's another example when people talk about I mean, Obamacare

603
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>was basically we started by a Republican named Ronney here

604
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:04.480
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts with the Health Connector, and it worked great.

605
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:09.239
<v Speaker 2>Like healthcare should not be bipartisan. You had one Republican

606
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.039
<v Speaker 2>do it here in Massachusetts, and you had a Democratic

607
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 2>doing it nationally. What's the problem. What is the problem.

608
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:31.039
<v Speaker 2>That's why we can't we can't get our act together. Brutal, brutal, brutal. Again.

609
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:32.840
<v Speaker 2>We got about a minute ago here if you want

610
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:36.800
<v Speaker 2>to jump in at six one, seven thirty as we

611
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:39.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about super Bowl, I gotta tell you, am I

612
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:41.480
<v Speaker 2>excited about the Super Bowl. I'm you know what I'm doing.

613
00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing my buddies, my old college friends from Delta

616
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Imagine going through school and wormy p I s who

617
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:15.719
<v Speaker 2>am I forgetting? Felile, sweet big lou And uh that's

618
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:18.639
<v Speaker 2>what I'm excited for. With the super Bowl. Lance has

619
00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:21.559
<v Speaker 2>got a barn with some chickens in it. So we're

620
00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna be watching the super Bowl with the with the hens.

621
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Cluck cluck, Aaron at Stoneham, you get about thirty, let

622
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:30.679
<v Speaker 2>a rip go ahead, Aaron, You're on.

623
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm just yeah, I'm here with you. Uh So

624
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:41.559
<v Speaker 6>my question is, what what are your thoughts on, uh

625
00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:46.199
<v Speaker 6>on our junior. Why why are you thinking that his

626
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:47.920
<v Speaker 6>thoughts are bad or do you think?

627
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:51.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean because he says, you know, he talks about

628
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:53.840
<v Speaker 2>he's against vaccines, and then he gets in front of

629
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:57.719
<v Speaker 2>everybody and says he's four vaccines. I mean, I just.

630
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.400
<v Speaker 6>He's a I've listened to many, many hours of his

631
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:09.679
<v Speaker 6>information and followed up and you know read he's never

632
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:15.480
<v Speaker 6>studied against all vaccine. It's certain vaccines. I mean, I

633
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.320
<v Speaker 6>personally took the COVID vat team. I'm in food service industry.

634
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:24.840
<v Speaker 6>I was kind of, you know, insectivized to do it

635
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.000
<v Speaker 6>or pushed to do it. But you're sitting there taking

636
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:33.480
<v Speaker 6>a shot and signing a paper that does not FDA approved.

637
00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:38.679
<v Speaker 6>I mean, do you think that the COVID, the COVID

638
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:42.639
<v Speaker 6>vaccination should have been a choice for person or well,

639
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:43.599
<v Speaker 6>it was a choice.

640
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you did it because your employeer. It was

641
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:49.079
<v Speaker 2>required of your employer. But you have to think. And

642
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I understand the previous call to thank you for the

643
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.679
<v Speaker 2>call talking about the bud clock. I've had every vaccine

644
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 2>knock on wood, and I have not had COVID. I

645
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:01.000
<v Speaker 2>think the vaccine worked, so sorry. If we didn't have

646
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the vaccine, more people would have died. It's that simple.

647
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:06.239
<v Speaker 2>All right, We're gonna talk Super Bowl commercials coming up

648
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.559
<v Speaker 2>next here in WBZ. Gotta get the news. We'll be

649
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 2>right back.
