Speaker 1: It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2: Une Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1: All right, Dan Watkins, thank you very much. We have
Speaker 1: an election year going on, and those we talked a
Speaker 1: lot about the presidential elections. First the election, first between
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Now between Donald Trump and
Speaker 1: the and the vice president. Now, who is the head
Speaker 1: of the Democratic ticket, Kamala Harris. Now there's a Senate
Speaker 1: race in Massachusetts. Our senior senator is standing for election
Speaker 1: for re election, Elizabeth Warren, And there are three Republicans
Speaker 1: who have qualified for the ballot. We've already had John
Speaker 1: Deaton and Ian Kin on as guests, and joining us
Speaker 1: now is the third Republican, Bob anton Ellis, who is
Speaker 1: running for the right to oppose as the Republican nominee
Speaker 1: Senator Elizabeth Warren. Has to get through a primary and
Speaker 1: so September. Bob Antonellis, welcome to Night's side. Give us
Speaker 1: a little bit of background. And my understanding is that
Speaker 1: you have never stood for public office before, or never
Speaker 1: held public office. Is this the first race you're running.
Speaker 3: Yes, it is, Dan, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: You're welcome.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's the first time I've ever run for political office.
Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a regular person.
Speaker 1: That's good tonight. It's good. That's good. That's a good
Speaker 1: enough reason for some people to vote for you because
Speaker 1: the politicians, Well, tell us what have you done as
Speaker 1: a regular person? Again, I don't want to be agist here,
Speaker 1: but like me, you're on the wrong side of fifty.
Speaker 1: So you're not some you know, thirty year audims taking
Speaker 1: a shot at the US Senate. Don't have to disclose
Speaker 1: your age, but I think we can agree that we're
Speaker 1: both on the wrong side of fifty.
Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you my age if it's not
Speaker 3: a problem.
Speaker 1: Not a problem for me.
Speaker 3: I'm sixty two years old and I just had my birthday,
Speaker 3: which is I was born in sixty two, So it's
Speaker 3: kind of a weird coincident. Sixty two.
Speaker 1: It's only going to happen one year, so you're.
Speaker 3: Having exactly he's the why I can't. So anyway, the
Speaker 3: short of it is, I moved to the state in
Speaker 3: sixty My family moved to the state in sixty five
Speaker 3: from Virginia. I've lived in the South Shore, I've lived
Speaker 3: in the Cape, I've lived in Middlesex County, Amherst. I
Speaker 3: got my education in UMass Amherst graduated in the class
Speaker 3: of eighty four Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. So and
Speaker 3: I've always said the Senate and even Washington needs one more,
Speaker 3: you know, definitely needs more engineers and it needs less lawyers.
Speaker 3: So I've had experience, you know, in the state software industry,
Speaker 3: contracting full time, dabbled in startups. So I'm a self starter.
Speaker 3: I get things done. I even had a technology I
Speaker 3: once called pizza pilot, So I'm very much aware that
Speaker 3: people don't like waiting for their pizza, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Uh And I my technology was this was two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven, so it's quite a long time ago, meaning
Speaker 3: like it was, it was pretty avant guarde so GPS
Speaker 3: based pizza livery technology which I used to slash delivery
Speaker 3: times for a Dominoes in the north shore of Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: And then as far as did you have.
Speaker 1: It makes some big money off it sounds like.
Speaker 3: I did. I did, And that's a whole other story.
Speaker 3: So it's a lot it's a lot harder to get
Speaker 3: a patent issue, you know, to get through because it's
Speaker 3: not it's not a cheap process. But so that's that'll
Speaker 3: be a story for another day.
Speaker 1: So let's get back. Let's get back to the campaign here.
Speaker 1: When did you decide you wanted to run? Is this
Speaker 1: something that has been a burning issue for a while,
Speaker 1: or what's what prompted you to finally say, you know,
Speaker 1: dag mammit, this.
Speaker 3: Is the year I think it was. There was a
Speaker 3: discussion on the radio about Elizabeth Warren, and I honestly
Speaker 3: don't recall exactly what the conversation was, but I felt, Okay,
Speaker 3: she's very exposed, she's you know, I sometimes call her
Speaker 3: Queen Elizabeth Warren, and I think she needs to abdicate
Speaker 3: the throne that she's been occupying, because honestly, I can't
Speaker 3: think of one thing she's actually done. Maybe you do,
Speaker 3: Maybe you can, maybe a caller can suggest one thing
Speaker 3: that she's done that's actually good for the state of Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: He's got me stuffed on that one, Bob, I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you. I mean, you know, so you're not concerned
Speaker 1: about running for someone who is such a deep and
Speaker 1: abiding Native American heritage, right.
Speaker 3: Exactly so. But I just felt good about you know,
Speaker 3: I did some you know, market research. You can say,
Speaker 3: talk to a lot of people different artcs, which is
Speaker 3: Republican town committees, and I basically found that there was
Speaker 3: a hunger for a genuine Trump supporting conservative Republican. You
Speaker 3: know that, you know that you can go through the checklist,
Speaker 3: Not that I would want to go through a checklist,
Speaker 3: but when you hear my positions. My three big categories
Speaker 3: of topics that I promote are America First, which you've
Speaker 3: heard of that, yep, Massachusetts first, which is an interesting
Speaker 3: way to say, but you know what, America first is
Speaker 3: really great. You know, we we love America first. But
Speaker 3: there's a difference between fixing America's problems and fixing the
Speaker 3: problems in Massachusetts. So that's what Massachusetts Massachusetts First is about.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. And then the thirdly is womanhood first.
Speaker 3: And that's because see, these are every issue that I'm
Speaker 3: going to talk about. You'll if you run a check
Speaker 3: in your mind about where are the other two candidates
Speaker 3: stand on these issues, and I can almost guarantee you
Speaker 3: that there's almost zero overlap, especially with the topic of
Speaker 3: womanhood first. And that's the one that's kind of near
Speaker 3: and dear to my heart because well we saw it
Speaker 3: on the opening what do you call it of the Olympics.
Speaker 3: There's a societal problem that we're having in this Western civilization.
Speaker 3: And I really think that a womanhood has been under
Speaker 3: grave assaults from a variety of sources.
Speaker 1: And Okay, when we get back, I'm going to have
Speaker 1: you expand on that and espouse that a little bit.
Speaker 1: My guest is a Bob anton Ellis. He is a
Speaker 1: Republican in a three way primary which will be held
Speaker 1: in early September. He's running against a gentleman named John
Speaker 1: Deaton and Ian kin With We've had both mister and
Speaker 1: mister Caana on and tonight we have mister anton Ellis.
Speaker 1: If you want to ask him a question, give him
Speaker 1: a call, you more than welcome. I haven't even given
Speaker 1: the numbers yet, and we have some lines already full,
Speaker 1: which is always a good sign. The only line that
Speaker 1: remains open is the only one line is six one, seven, nine,
Speaker 1: three to one ten thirty. There's one line there, and
Speaker 1: we'll get to callers. But I also want to give
Speaker 1: Bob and an opportunity, Bob Antonellis an opportunity to define
Speaker 1: himself and also probably talk about the other Republicans of
Speaker 1: the race. And he's more than welcome to do that.
Speaker 1: Why he would be a better choice than either of
Speaker 1: the other two to run against Elizabeth Warre. And we'll
Speaker 1: get to all of that, I promise, right after this
Speaker 1: break on night side six one seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty. Those lines are full. The one line that
Speaker 1: is open is six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
Speaker 1: Back with Bob Antonellis talking politics, Massachusetts Senate politics right
Speaker 1: after this.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World Light,
Speaker 2: thanks to you on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Joining me is Bobby Antonellis. He's running for the Massachusetts
Speaker 1: state Massachusetts US Senate see currently being held by Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 1: In order to be able to challenge her, he is
Speaker 1: going to have to get more votes than two other
Speaker 1: Republican candidates in the September primary. So do you want
Speaker 1: to draw some distinctions with your opponents? Bob, going ahead
Speaker 1: if you'd like to. If not, we can move on
Speaker 1: to some of your important issues. Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a conservative Republican as you know, and I'm
Speaker 3: strong on the Second Amendment. Both of my opponents have
Speaker 3: said that they're happy with the gun laws in Massachusetts,
Speaker 3: which if you have anybody listening that's a hunter, anybody
Speaker 3: that's been following what's been going on in the State
Speaker 3: House of Massachusetts with gun rights. Anybody that's you know,
Speaker 3: that frequents a gun shop to buy ammo or goes
Speaker 3: to the shooting range, then you probably, you know, they
Speaker 3: would probably respond, you know, with you know a little
Speaker 3: bit of a chuckle, you know, hearing that Massachusetts laws
Speaker 3: for guns are okay.
Speaker 1: But then then again, then again, Bob, you know, you
Speaker 1: just had a presidential candidate, the candidate that you support,
Speaker 1: almost killed by a twenty year old kid out in
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania was able to buy fifty rounds that day, apparently
Speaker 1: using maybe using a false name. That's pretty scary. So
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure that that issue cuts both rights.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you're right, But you know what, it's everybody
Speaker 3: really knows when they think about it. Guns don't kill people.
Speaker 3: And it wasn't the gun that pulled the trigger. It
Speaker 3: was something much deeper. And people, you know, refer to
Speaker 3: Trump de rangement syndrome, you know, as part of the
Speaker 3: you know, the so what I'm.
Speaker 1: Saying, Still, this kid, this twenty year old, had access
Speaker 1: to a pretty sophisticated weapon. And yeah, again, that's that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Give us some other areas where you and your Republican
Speaker 1: competitors disagree, how do you distinguish yourself?
Speaker 3: Well, universal healthcare completely against that. In fact, since Obamacare
Speaker 3: prices of skyrocketed as supply his shrunks. When it was
Speaker 3: one sixth of the economy. I don't know what it
Speaker 3: is today, but healthcare was one sixth of the economy.
Speaker 3: And when you basically socialize anything and you create all
Speaker 3: kinds of new hoops and regulations and restrictions, particularly on doctors,
Speaker 3: the amount of care that they can offer up shrinks,
Speaker 3: and as that happens, prices go up. So I'm dead,
Speaker 3: I'm looking. I'm hoping to see Obamacare go away.
Speaker 1: In fact, again, it's tough on those programs. I will
Speaker 1: say this that it's very tough if you lose your
Speaker 1: doctor in Massachusetts to find a doctor these.
Speaker 3: Days, it sure is. Yeah, yeah, And that this is.
Speaker 1: An another pattern. Give me one or two other issues
Speaker 1: that you disagree with, your your your compatriots, your Republican.
Speaker 3: Two good ones. A green New Deal is something I'm
Speaker 3: dead set against, particularly involving wind farms. I've been saying
Speaker 3: for you know, well before this, uh, this disaster, this
Speaker 3: disaster that occurred just weeks ago that has destroyed the
Speaker 3: coastline of Nantucket. I've been saying it's a horrible thing.
Speaker 3: And I was against wind farming for other reasons, and
Speaker 3: I honestly never even occurred to me. I never even
Speaker 3: thought like these these blades are you know, they're over
Speaker 3: one hundred They're over one hundred yards long in some
Speaker 3: cases can weigh over twenty tons. And the stuff that's
Speaker 3: in there, the oils, the foam, the garbage, and then
Speaker 3: the fiberglass, it is potentially an ecological disaster, just one,
Speaker 3: just one, and it could go for forever and ever another.
Speaker 3: So the wind farms, my my plan would be to
Speaker 3: ban all. And Donald Trump has joined this, uh you know,
Speaker 3: I started saying in February, and now he I'm happy
Speaker 3: to hear he also on day one would ban all
Speaker 3: wind farms off of all US territorial waters. That's quite
Speaker 3: good to me. Now. The last thing I think I
Speaker 3: would I'm gonna say I'm really against is bitcoin. And
Speaker 3: you'd be surprised the end, you're I know, I know,
Speaker 3: I know. So I mean, I'm like, I like, you know,
Speaker 3: I love Donald Trump, but but I'm not some kind
Speaker 3: of like robot and so I have completely different opinions.
Speaker 3: I'm one hundred against bitcoin, and it has to do
Speaker 3: with the pure uh waste squandering of our electric grid.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And I'll get through out a statistic. You know, we
Speaker 3: can talk about it if you if you have questions.
Speaker 3: But the amount of electric be used by one single
Speaker 3: Bitcoin transaction can equal as much as the electricity used
Speaker 3: by five hundred thousand VISA transactions. It's obscene. It's an
Speaker 3: engineering failure. And I have an article I put into
Speaker 3: the Broadside where I basically was calling out Lincoln Labs
Speaker 3: mit Miter Corporation to say this is a flawed engineering
Speaker 3: concept and please speak out against it. All right, that's
Speaker 3: up because of the electric waste.
Speaker 1: We got a whole bunch of callers. So let me
Speaker 1: start with some callers for you here because they think
Speaker 1: it's important to listen and take questions. Again, ask everybody
Speaker 1: if you're a supporter of fine, if you're somebody who
Speaker 1: supported of another candidate, please be be professional and be
Speaker 1: polite to my guests. Let me start it off with
Speaker 1: Chris in Marion, Massachusetts. Chris, your first this hour with
Speaker 1: Republican Senate candidate in the primary, Bob antonellis.
Speaker 5: Hi, Bob, so, I understand that the Grenelka statue in
Speaker 5: Boston is pretty controversial to you, but you know, the
Speaker 5: fact of the matter is that almost ninety percent of
Speaker 5: Massachusetts residents support the Black Lives Matter movement, which the
Speaker 5: statue is connected to. So could you please explain two
Speaker 5: things to me, First, what you want to do about
Speaker 5: that statue. And second, and this is the one that
Speaker 5: I really want to hear, how you intend to develop
Speaker 5: cross party support, which you need to be warren when
Speaker 5: this issue that you have been so vocal about about
Speaker 5: is something most mass residents don't agree with.
Speaker 1: Okay, before he answers, my understanding, Bob is that this
Speaker 1: issue is one of your campaign issues that you'd like
Speaker 1: to get that statue removed from the common Someone mentioned
Speaker 1: that to me earlier. I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: that I understood it correctly and also obviously hear what
Speaker 1: your position is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And I think there are plenty of people
Speaker 3: and plenty of Black Americans, black residents of Massachusetts that
Speaker 3: look at that statue and they think it's actually a
Speaker 3: disgrace to the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. Because
Speaker 3: there is you know, people look at it and say,
Speaker 3: this is like a pornographic, this is this is insulting.
Speaker 3: It's not even there's no faith, there's no feet, there's
Speaker 3: no body that just limbs. So I'm absolutely for uh,
Speaker 3: you know, Black America having a voice. But when it's
Speaker 3: kind of interesting how you brought up Black Lives Matter.
Speaker 3: I've done a lot of research into BLM and I
Speaker 3: have proven and I have you know, others conversations we
Speaker 3: can have on this that it was the rebirth of
Speaker 3: the Black Liberation Army actually BLM. So it's very militant,
Speaker 3: and it's actually hurts Black Americans, particularly when BLM goes
Speaker 3: out and says we want to get rid of the police, Like,
Speaker 3: how does that help Black Americans? They suffered, they suffer
Speaker 3: more gun deaths in the inner cities, they suffer more crime,
Speaker 3: and is a lot of his black on black and
Speaker 3: they're saying, give us our police, but Black Lives Matter
Speaker 3: keeps it away. So Black Lives Matter. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 3: appreciate the call, Chris, but they are doing a lot
Speaker 3: more harm. And then you know, then they start then
Speaker 3: as you know, there's Black Lives Matter related violence and
Speaker 3: burning of police stations, and uh.
Speaker 1: Also a lot of a lot of black businesses also
Speaker 1: suffered damage during some of the riots.
Speaker 3: And that's right sure that.
Speaker 1: We have seen in Massachusetts some of the founders of
Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter movement in Massachusetts are finding themselves
Speaker 1: in buriled in federal court. Chris, your follow up question,
Speaker 1: if you if you need if.
Speaker 5: You need to, uh, yeah, I'll just reiterate. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's true, I think you're right about b l M.
Speaker 5: But let's be honest, most mass residents support b l M.
Speaker 1: I think that, Yeah, Chris, I think when you break
Speaker 1: that down that uh you you may have residents who say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, you know black Lives matter, the concept of
Speaker 1: Black Lives matter, but a lot of the violence. I
Speaker 1: think that the popularity of Black Lives Matter as a
Speaker 1: movement has waned in the last few years, not only
Speaker 1: across the statement, within the black community. I think I
Speaker 1: think Bob is actually right on that because again, the
Speaker 1: violence that occurred didn't occur in places like Marion. It
Speaker 1: incurred in in the black community. But Chris, I appreciate
Speaker 1: your call. Thank you very much. We'll talk again. I hope,
Speaker 1: thank you all right. Let me move you can move
Speaker 1: Chris Off here. There we go up. Let me try
Speaker 1: to get one more in here before the break. You
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not going to short change anybody. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the news. We'll go to the news first
Speaker 1: and then we'll get back to phone calls. My guest
Speaker 1: is Bobby Antonellis. He is a Republican who would like
Speaker 1: to win the Republican nomination for the right to run
Speaker 1: against US Senator Elizabeth Warren in November. We've had two
Speaker 1: of the three candidates on to date, John Deaton and
Speaker 1: Ian Kin, who are both both Republicans, as is Bob.
Speaker 1: And we will continue with phone calls and questions for
Speaker 1: this candidate right after the news break. Here at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour.
Speaker 2: It's Nightside with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: All right, my guest is Bobby anton Allis. He is
Speaker 1: a Republican candidate. There's a Republican primary. Let's get to
Speaker 1: as many calls as we can. Going to go next
Speaker 1: to Pete in Framingham, Massachusetts. Pete, you were next on Nightside.
Speaker 1: Welcome gright ahead, Pete.
Speaker 6: Hey, Bob, So I've heard a theory that President Trump
Speaker 6: could come back into office this very month by following
Speaker 6: a key phrase that you have helped uncover in the Constitution.
Speaker 6: Could you just tell us more about how that would work?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yes, Please don't get weird on me here because
Speaker 1: this sounds to me. I happen to be a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Just so Pete, you know, I studied the Constitution in
Speaker 1: law school. I've practiced the Constitution as a television reporter
Speaker 1: and as a talk show host and as a lawyer.
Speaker 1: So you could tell me what you want to tell me.
Speaker 3: But please, yeah, yeah, okay. I got a tremendous on
Speaker 3: play for the Trump card out at Seatback, Dallas, July
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. Got scared the daylights out of Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 3: But because there was a seven point constitutional cure and
Speaker 3: whatever it was, the speaker can be anybody. So the
Speaker 3: governing body over the electoral college, if the electoral College
Speaker 3: is the executive brandch and that chooses the president and
Speaker 3: vice president as everybody else. But how the legislature has
Speaker 3: the same power in authorities to co equality as the
Speaker 3: electoral college to choose the president and the vice president.
Speaker 3: So when that happens, like when.
Speaker 1: The I think, to be really honest with you, Bob,
Speaker 1: with all due respect to you, you were way off
Speaker 1: in La La land on one. We don't think you're
Speaker 1: going to do yourself more harm than good because I'm.
Speaker 3: Going to have to Yeah, I think I think that's
Speaker 3: not I don't think that's a winner for you, and
Speaker 3: I think it's just.
Speaker 1: Dead wrong frankly, because well you know, just you know,
Speaker 1: I'll have Alan Dershowitz give you a call.
Speaker 3: And I would love to I would love to talk
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks, thank you for that for that interesting question.
Speaker 1: Let me go next to Thomas Tom in Winchester.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Tom, Hey, Bob, thanks for running again. Agreed
Speaker 5: to have some good competations out in the Republican primary.
Speaker 1: The first time he's run. Tom, When did he run before?
Speaker 5: No, so I didn't say run again, I mean thanks
Speaker 5: for running in general.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I thought you I thought you used the
Speaker 1: word again. I'm sorry. I wanted to make sure that
Speaker 1: I didn't miss a prior you know, race, Go right ahead, right.
Speaker 5: Well, it's well documented that some powerful people around the world,
Speaker 5: especially I don't.
Speaker 1: Think Jeffrey this is not an issue with this for
Speaker 1: this Senate campaign. Tom, have you ever listened to my show?
Speaker 6: Just do you think any of our politicians here in
Speaker 6: Massachusetts in a college is already complexity.
Speaker 1: I have a great night. Thank you for answering my question.
Speaker 1: Let me go next to Marie in Everett. Marie, you're
Speaker 1: next Time Nights.
Speaker 7: Right ahead, Hi, Dane, and Hi mister Antonelli's okay, so
Speaker 7: I hope you don't This is gonna be La La
Speaker 7: land a little too, I think, go sorry, but I
Speaker 7: heard you on another show, mister Antonella's that was a
Speaker 7: while ago, maybe a month or two ago.
Speaker 1: And do me a favorite, Do me a favor, Marie,
Speaker 1: no need, stay with me, just to answer me for
Speaker 1: a moment.
Speaker 7: He was talking about the Marie do me a favorite.
Speaker 1: Take Marie down and explain to Marie that she needs
Speaker 1: to listen to me. Uh, she's a guest and she's
Speaker 1: a guest caller. Tell her to listen to me, and
Speaker 1: I want her to listen carefully so that she understands
Speaker 1: one of the rules of the show is Marie back
Speaker 1: with us here, Marie. Okay, Marie, you do not need
Speaker 1: to mention the name of any other show. Okay, so
Speaker 1: please don't do that because that will end the call
Speaker 1: real quickly. Go right ahead. What's your question.
Speaker 7: I didn't mention any name.
Speaker 1: No, I know you didn't, but you were getting perilously close.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, I wasn't going to no. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 7: my question was about something that mister Antonellis said about
Speaker 7: Harvard University being founded to protect some kind of criminal ring. Now,
Speaker 7: I'm la Marie.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you. Do you have any idea? Marie?
Speaker 1: Do you do you have any idea when Harvard University
Speaker 1: was founded?
Speaker 7: Oh, a long time ago.
Speaker 1: What year do you think? Want to take a shot
Speaker 1: at it? Oh, sixteen hundred something, Yeah, it was sixteen
Speaker 1: thirty six. Now, I don't think Harvard University was founded
Speaker 1: for a criminal ring. And I'm not going to loll
Speaker 1: in with that question either. Thank you very much for
Speaker 1: be calling nonethelesson and I hope you continue to listen
Speaker 1: to Nightside. Uh yeah, you know. I I want to
Speaker 1: focus on issues that people in Massachusetts want to talk about.
Speaker 1: Let's talk.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, we're calling. I mentioned what do you want?
Speaker 1: What you like to mention?
Speaker 3: Well? Well, I was gonna. I never had a chance
Speaker 3: to talk about my Massachusetts first. So why did I
Speaker 3: talk about the big topic which is on everybody's mind,
Speaker 3: that my Massachusetts first agenda handles, and that is ending
Speaker 3: Massachusetts as a sanctuary state. I think that kind of
Speaker 3: there's many wonderful things that will ripple down from that
Speaker 3: kind of improvement, and so that's the top priority for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think that when you talk about the
Speaker 1: the law that was passed in nineteen eighty three, assigned
Speaker 1: by Governor de Caucus, I actually covered that news conference
Speaker 1: which had an intention of providing shelter, the right to
Speaker 1: shelter law for pregnant women and for women with small children.
Speaker 1: I think everyone understood what that law's purpose was, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that that law at all contemplated people
Speaker 1: coming here from other countries. And I think that the
Speaker 1: Republicans are at the State House of Representatives and in
Speaker 1: the State Senate have tried to amend that law on
Speaker 1: several occasions. We've had State Senator Peter Durant, we had
Speaker 1: State Representative Frost on the other night talking about those efforts.
Speaker 1: And now the governor herself has kind of clamped down
Speaker 1: as the costs of these accommodating these folks has gone
Speaker 1: through literally through the roof, and I'm sure they were
Speaker 1: aware that there's a six million dollar, no big contract
Speaker 1: to a cab company down. I believe you're from the
Speaker 1: Cape at this point, Am I correct in that job? Well?
Speaker 3: No, I've lived on the Cape, but at the moment
Speaker 3: I'm in Middlesex.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well the point is that, uh, there's this
Speaker 1: company that got six million dollars uh for cab rides.
Speaker 1: I mean it was a nice work if you can
Speaker 1: get Let me go to Michael in Marshfield. Michael, you're
Speaker 1: next on night Side. Welcome, You're next with Bobbys Analyis.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Michael, Hey, Dan, first time call it.
Speaker 5: Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 3: And it's great to see that we got three choices
Speaker 3: to Unsea Polkahonas. That's a that's good. Yeah.
Speaker 6: My question is I understand that one of your opponents
Speaker 6: in Quincy he devoted to raise the mayor salary of seventy.
Speaker 3: Now you're seeing America first and now Massachusetts first.
Speaker 5: Why don't that seem to you to be more politician first?
Speaker 3: I mean, I shouldn't people be.
Speaker 5: Paid based off of the America and what they do?
Speaker 3: And I just want to know your take on that.
Speaker 3: I definitely believe in a merit based system, and I
Speaker 3: definitely believe in politicians not I'm not saying it was unilateral,
Speaker 3: but not unilateral, not unilaterally increasing their pay without a
Speaker 3: lot of, you know, input from the people.
Speaker 1: Don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to speak for Ian Kane. I've heard
Speaker 3: him talk about that, and I frankly don't understand that
Speaker 3: the devil. You need to ask Ian Kane about that,
Speaker 3: But I don't like you. I don't want to see
Speaker 3: bit what he did. Yeah, yeah, well correct me if
Speaker 3: correct me.
Speaker 1: If I'm wrong here, and I might be wrong, I
Speaker 1: don't think that that pay raise goes into effect immediately.
Speaker 1: I believe that that pay raise goes into effect after
Speaker 1: the next mayoral election.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you might be right about that. I think you
Speaker 3: might be right.
Speaker 2: So that just a little bit like what do you
Speaker 2: guys think about you know, especially Bob the redit that
Speaker 2: you what do you think about term limits?
Speaker 3: Well, to be honest with you, I stand apart from
Speaker 3: a lot of people who think, you know, it's a
Speaker 3: grassroots movement. I'm a grassroots kind of guy, but I
Speaker 3: actually in against term and the reason I'm against it
Speaker 3: is because I think we already have terminal limits in
Speaker 3: the sense that we have two years for the House
Speaker 3: six years for the Senate, and the idea is it's
Speaker 3: a complex organization to be part of the Senate or
Speaker 3: to be part of the House, it's complex. I mean,
Speaker 3: we look at somebody like new Ingrid. She was re
Speaker 3: elected so many times, and look what he was able
Speaker 3: to do with his contract for America. That kind of
Speaker 3: skill comes through learning and trial and error and negotiation
Speaker 3: and intellectual growth. So I'm actually not really I think trumpeting.
Speaker 1: Okay, talking over each other. Sorry, Michael, I got to
Speaker 1: run him up my break. Appreciate your call, Thanks very much,
Speaker 1: and in the future, refer to the elected politicians you
Speaker 1: know by their names. I think I think we've had
Speaker 1: enough of the nickname and the names name calling. Thanks Michael,
Speaker 1: appreciate your call. We'll be back right after this break.
Speaker 1: My guest is Bob anton Ellis you here generate a
Speaker 1: lot of phone calls, Bob, and again we'll continue with
Speaker 1: our callers all the way up until till ten o'clock.
Speaker 1: If you're on the line now, Kathy, Paul, Dwayne or Andrea,
Speaker 1: you're going to get on the air coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Speaker 2: Nightside Studios on w b Z the news radio.
Speaker 1: I guess is Bob anton Ellis. Let me go to
Speaker 1: Kathy in Lunenburg. Kathy, welcome to Nightside.
Speaker 3: How are you good?
Speaker 4: Dan? Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 3: Hi, Bob.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you recall we met you, came
Speaker 4: out to our RTC and spoke with quite some time ago.
Speaker 4: And then I helped the Harvard Republicans at the event
Speaker 4: that we had at the Regency back a couple of
Speaker 4: months ago, which was a.
Speaker 8: Super event with Scott. Yeah, it really was a great event.
Speaker 8: A lot of people rallied there.
Speaker 4: The reason I called I wanted to ask you, and
Speaker 4: I know Dan, you have it posted on the Busy
Speaker 4: night Side page about Nashoba Hospital. What's happening out here
Speaker 4: is beyond shameful as far as I'm concerned with the
Speaker 4: closing of the Shoba Hospital. The fact that yesterday Tarnee Hospital,
Speaker 4: the entire congressional delegation showed up all the you know,
Speaker 4: Boston officials, and then today when there was a press conference,
Speaker 4: it was local folks. Warren sent an intern from her
Speaker 4: office and we did not see the governor. We did
Speaker 4: not see people from Boston coming out here. And to
Speaker 4: me that the furtherest slap in the face. This area
Speaker 4: continuously gets neglected by Beacon Hill, So I think it
Speaker 4: would be mindful of you to get involved in this
Speaker 4: conversation with what is going on. They're trying to close
Speaker 4: the hospital in less than a month. Our reason, for
Speaker 4: the most part, most of the town's out here Lunenburg Lennon,
Speaker 4: Sir Shirley to go to Nashoba is much closer and quicker.
Speaker 4: The next closest quality hospital would be Emerson and it's
Speaker 4: you know, a good hike away going down route too.
Speaker 4: This is going to be a matter of life and
Speaker 4: death for many people.
Speaker 1: Well, that's good, that's a good that's a good issue, Kathy,
Speaker 1: that you've suggested to him and I and I hope
Speaker 1: that he considers your recommendation. You're one of my more
Speaker 1: my better callers in with a great suggestion tonight. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, pack Lines. You want to give everybody
Speaker 1: else a chance.
Speaker 8: All right, thanks, thanks, thank you.
Speaker 1: That is a good question. That is a good issue.
Speaker 1: Let me go to Paul in Boston.
Speaker 3: Paul next, go ahead, right, good evening, Dan Bob. Let
Speaker 3: me a quick question. What grade would you give Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 3: What do you think what type of a job he's
Speaker 3: doing in my second question, My second question is, I
Speaker 3: don't know how undred sitting senators right now. Who's your favorite?
Speaker 3: What senator down there now? Is your favorite senator?
Speaker 1: Oh? Those are two questions. Go ahead, let's give me,
Speaker 1: go ahead. Give Mitch Mitch McConnell, you're great, assuming that
Speaker 1: that you got there, he would still be there. Uh.
Speaker 1: And who's your favorite senator?
Speaker 3: Well, I would say he is not doing well, Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 3: Grade wives, he's definitely flagging.
Speaker 1: Quick. We've got full lines bop.
Speaker 3: Let's just say C minus.
Speaker 1: Let's say, yeah, got a lower than that, but that's okay.
Speaker 1: So who's your favorite center?
Speaker 3: I actually I like rand Paul a lot, but on
Speaker 3: certain certain issues, On certain issues, you know, not so.
Speaker 3: But on some issues he's really very strong, and so
Speaker 3: I do if I am go ahead.
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying that's fine. That answers Paul's questions. I
Speaker 1: got a couple of other calls I want to sneak
Speaker 1: here as well. Paul, great, great specific questions. I liked
Speaker 1: the call. Thanks Paul, hope you continue to listen to
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: Thank you much.
Speaker 1: Andrea in Abington, Go ahead, Andrea.
Speaker 9: Oh hey, Bob, So I just have a couple of questions.
Speaker 9: What kind of thoughts our plans do you have to
Speaker 9: cut middle class taxes in Massachusetts?
Speaker 3: Especially in.
Speaker 8: What kind of plans are.
Speaker 9: Thoughts you have to stop Massachusetts middle class from paying
Speaker 9: for so much of these overlaps the utilized systems from
Speaker 9: the state and federal government.
Speaker 1: So you're talking about federal taxes, Andrea, or state.
Speaker 8: Taxes mostly federal Like that's okay.
Speaker 1: Well, that he's running for the US Senate, that's a
Speaker 1: federal position. Bob, please answer Andrew's question, especially Ken, go
Speaker 1: right ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I was thinking for state, are we
Speaker 3: be after the illegal aliens? But I think there's a
Speaker 3: lot of federal opportunities too with all this deficit spending.
Speaker 3: We definitely need to talk with President Trump, let's say,
Speaker 3: if he is elected, about a you know, a tax
Speaker 3: cut for uh, you know, working people. I'm sure there's
Speaker 3: a lot to be done. I'd love to talk with
Speaker 3: you more on some other venue. I'm I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: having I'm planning to have zoom sessions where people can
Speaker 3: but each morning, I'm hoping I could do it at
Speaker 3: the same time, So stay tuned. Go to Bob, go

Speaker 1: we have a name in this last caller, Rob or No,
Speaker 1: you got to get the name. Okay that we have
Speaker 1: one more call here for you, Bob. And in the meantime,
Speaker 1: why don't you give your you the way in which
Speaker 1: people who might be interested can can get in touch
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 3: Okay, you can send me an email Bob at Bob

Speaker 3: a cell phone, I can call you and I definitely
Speaker 3: would like to hear you know what's your most important issue,
Speaker 3: because as we get closer and closer to you know,
Speaker 3: the actual election, we want to know that it's how
Speaker 3: you build a consensus necessary to get me over the
Speaker 3: finish line with Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me get one more call in I from Boston,
Speaker 1: in in your little late but I'll get you in
Speaker 1: out of the wire here. I got it like at
Speaker 1: least the minute for you. What's your question of comment? Dan?
Speaker 10: Okay, so real quick, you said that you were not
Speaker 10: for bitcoin, which I actually agree with. But considering do
Speaker 10: you know what the bricks is? Brazil, Russia, India, China,
Speaker 10: South Africa alliance and there's more countries joining, and they
Speaker 10: just declare that they will go with a digital currency,
Speaker 10: and there's a very strong financial alliance. So if they're
Speaker 10: going with the digital currency just out of curiosity, what
Speaker 10: would you have the United States? We just lost the
Speaker 10: petro dollar with Saudi Arabia as well the fifty year agreement.
Speaker 10: They didn't resign, So what would you do in terms
Speaker 10: of protecting our dollar and the worth of the dollar.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a really complicated question for late, but let's
Speaker 1: give Bob a chance to take a quick shot at it.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Bob, I would quickly try to restore the
Speaker 3: petro dollar. That's critical to preserving the American weight of life.
Speaker 3: And I would only suggest a digital currency with the
Speaker 3: attention and embrace of the American people. So we're not
Speaker 3: just gonna have something thrust upon us one day where
Speaker 3: we find out, oh, we can't eat dinner tonight because
Speaker 3: we said the wrong word on Facebook, you know, because
Speaker 3: that's the that's the worst case scenario right there, all right,
Speaker 3: So that's got.
Speaker 10: To give the gold and silver.
