1
00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Night side with Dan Ray on WBS Constance new video.

2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much.

3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Al.

4
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 2>It is a Friday night, but coming up a little

5
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>bit after nine o'clock and we're going to get to politics.

6
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 2>There's just no way to avoid it tonight. As I

7
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>think all of you know, the Democratic National Convention is

8
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 2>now in the books. That closed up last night with

9
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Vice President Harris Kamala Harris delivering her acceptance speech. And

10
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 2>then about the middle of the week some rumors started

11
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to circulate. There was an interview given by a member

12
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:43.240
<v Speaker 2>of the RFK team very high up his vice presidential

13
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 2>running mate, to a podcast in which it was suggested

14
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 2>that perhaps RFK was about to lead the race. And

15
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.759
<v Speaker 2>then following on fairly quickly was what surprised a lot

16
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 2>of people, including me, that not only would he leave

17
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 2>the race, suspend his campaign as he said today, but

18
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 2>but he'll also endorse Donald Trump. And wouldn't you know,

19
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.879
<v Speaker 2>That's what happened this afternoon. So in a summer in

20
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 2>which we've had one debate, one debate between Joe Biden

21
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and Donald Trump that was in June, and we had

22
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 2>an assassination attempt on July thirteenth, and shortly thereafter, I

23
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>believe was July twenty first, Joe Biden was forced to

24
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 2>exit the race, and then in short order the Democratic

25
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Party settled upon Vice President Harris, as I assumed they

26
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 2>would have, she being in effected next in line. Donald

27
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump had a pretty good Republican convention, but the Democrats

28
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>and full or Vice President Harris, I thought, had a

29
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 2>fabulous convention this week, And on the heels of that, today,

30
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 2>Robert F. Kennedy Junior decides to suspend his third party effort,

31
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>ian Ian into Astnald Trump. So if this has happened today,

32
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe you haven't had a chance to listen to some

33
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>of this, But this was OURFK today. Let's start off

34
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>with cut number twenty two. Please Rob cut twenty two.

35
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 4>In a system of nonpartisan courts and election boards, everything

36
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 4>would be different. After all, the polls consistently showed me

37
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 4>beating each of the other candidates, both in favorability and

38
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 4>also in head to head matchups. But I'm sorry to

39
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 4>say that while democracy may still be alive at the grassroots,

40
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 4>it has become a little more than a slogan for

41
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 4>our political institutions, for our media, and for our government,

42
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 4>and most sadly at all for me. The Democratic Party.

43
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Now, this is obviously the son of Robert F. Kennedy,

44
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>assassinated in nineteen sixty eight, the nephew of President John F. Kennedy.

45
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.599
<v Speaker 2>Most of his family members did not support his third

46
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>party candidacy. Let's get that out there first. He does

47
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>have some interesting and intriguing issues and questions, but he

48
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 2>does have a following, and if he's able to convince

49
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>those followers to vote for Donald Trump, it's going to

50
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 2>be a boost for the Trump campaign, whatever the result. So,

51
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>for example, he seems to identify with Trump, not so

52
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 2>much of the issues, but on the treatment that he

53
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>and former President Trump have received and in their minds

54
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>at the hands of the Democratic establishment is twenty three.

55
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 4>Rob In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party

56
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 4>set itself to dismantling it Lacking confidence in its candidate,

57
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 4>that its candidate could win in a fair election at

58
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.959
<v Speaker 4>the voting booth, the d n C wage continual legal

59
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 4>warfare against both President Trump and myself. Each time that

60
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 4>our volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed

61
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 4>to get on the ballot. The d n C d

62
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 4>agniscent to court state after state, attempting to erase their

63
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 4>work and to subvert the will of the voters who

64
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 4>had signed those petitions.

65
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>In this speech that R. F. Kate Junior made today,

66
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>he pointed out some things that I was unaware of

67
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>and that I think were interesting. And the the more

68
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I listened to him, the more I realized that apparently

69
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>he did approach the Harris campaign about perhaps doing something

70
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 2>with them, but was rebuffed, and that I'm sure didn't

71
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 2>sit well within He goes after the media a lot,

72
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>and well, you know, he basically laid out the reasons

73
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 2>why he supports now supports Donald Trump. This has cut

74
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine. We're ub twenty nine.

75
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 4>Three great causes drove me to answer this race in

76
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.800
<v Speaker 4>the first place, primarily, and these are the principal causes

77
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 4>that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Democratic Party and

78
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 4>run as an independent and now to throw my support

79
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 4>a President Trump. The causes were free speech, a war

80
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.560
<v Speaker 4>in Ukraine, and the war on our children.

81
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Again, he seems to identify with with Donald Trump. And

82
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>he went after Joe Biden today. Now this is a

83
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 2>longer bite, but I think it's very instructive. Remember the

84
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Biden administration refused to give RFK junior Secret Service protection

85
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 2>until there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. And

86
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>insrestingly enough, I guess today there have been five Secret

87
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Service agents, maybe some in the mid level of a

88
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 2>chain of command, who have been basically put on leave.

89
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Who knows where this investigation will go, but clearly, clearly

90
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic National Committee made a decision, and that was

91
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that they wanted to neuter politically RFK. And it was

92
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 2>not only the Biden administration, but specifically it was Mayorcus,

93
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the head of Homeland Security, who would made the final

94
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 2>decision on Secret Service protection. And I said back in

95
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 2>the spring that I thought, actually before that, in a

96
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 2>late winter, I thought it was vile and dangerous and

97
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 2>pernicious that they would withhold secret Service protection from RFK.

98
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I think in retrospect that they did

99
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 2>it was they did not want they wanted him to

100
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 2>spend whatever money he was going to generate on his

101
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 2>own security, which he had to. I mean, clearly, we

102
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 2>know that there's a lot of unhinged people out there.

103
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 2>So this was one of his strongest statements going after

104
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden for having marked Vladimir Putin. This is twenty seven, a.

105
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Rob President Biden marked Vladimir Putin's eighty eight percent landslide

106
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.519
<v Speaker 4>in the Russian elections, observing that Putin and his party

107
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 4>controlled the Russian press and that Putin prevented his serious

108
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.800
<v Speaker 4>opponents from appearing on the ballot. But a year in America,

109
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 4>the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot,

110
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 4>and our television networks exposed themselves as Democratic Party organs

111
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 4>over the course of more than a year in a

112
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.480
<v Speaker 4>campaign where my poll numbers reached at times in the

113
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 4>high twenties, The DNC allied mainstream media networks maintained a

114
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 4>near perfect embargo on interviews with me. During his ten

115
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 4>month presidential campaign in nineteen ninety two, Rosborow gave thirty

116
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 4>four interviews on mainstream networks. In contrast, during the sixteen

117
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 4>months since I declared, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, NCNN combined

118
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 4>gave only two live interviews from me. Those networks instead

119
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.320
<v Speaker 4>ran a continuous wug. He hit pieces with inaccurate off

120
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 4>and file sure it is and defamatory smears some of

121
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 4>those and networks, and coluded with the DNC to keep

122
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 4>me off the debate stage.

123
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Pretty strong stuff from RFK. Now I'm going to open

124
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 2>up the phone lines, give you a chance to talk

125
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.399
<v Speaker 2>about this. If this, in any way, shape or form

126
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>influences you, if you were an RFK supporter, and his

127
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>name will still be on the ballot, I believe in

128
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>several states he's asking to take his name off the

129
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>ballot in swing states so it doesn't adversely impact Donald Trump,

130
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and he's advising his supporters to vote for Donald Trump.

131
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know if you're an RFK supporter, if

132
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you still are or have been, what do you make

133
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>of this? If you are with Vice President Harris, does

134
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>this worry you? And if you're with President Trump. This

135
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>is the first positive news that the Trump campaign has

136
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 2>had in weeks, I think it's fair to say in weeks,

137
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 2>coming the day after the Democratic National Convention. So we're

138
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>going to have some fun with this. I want to

139
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>give the whole idea of Nightside is to give you

140
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to pick up the phone and express your opinion.

141
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>As I've said before, Talk Rady was not a spectator sport.

142
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Feel free to participate. I don't think there's a wrong

143
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>answer with any of this. Tonight. It is basically your opinion.

144
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 2>So I say, if you're an RFK supporter, what is

145
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 2>this likely that maybe you'll decide to stay home? Or

146
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe some of you will say, no, I'm going to

147
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 2>go with Harris, or maybe some of you will say

148
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. If you are not, how do you think

149
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>this will play. What sort of an impact will it

150
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>have on the election of twenty twenty four. Now, I

151
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 2>know we're about seventy five days away. I'm not exactly

152
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:56.279
<v Speaker 2>sure if it's seventy five or seventy four or whatever.

153
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>And we'll get to the countdown eventually, but it's two

154
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 2>and a half months. That's what it comes down to.

155
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>So and eventually on November fifth, someone will win. It

156
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>will either be Donald Trump or Vice President Harris. It's

157
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that. That's what it comes down to.

158
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 2>But we have a lot of ground to cover in

159
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 2>the next two and a half months, and we start tonight.

160
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 2>The campaigns have finally been joined, the conventions are over,

161
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the pep rallies that the Republicans had and that the

162
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Democrats had there in the past, and now it is

163
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 2>the hard work of going every day every day between

164
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.720
<v Speaker 2>now and November fifth, and trying to convince every last

165
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 2>voter that you, meaning you, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.

166
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris are the most qualified to become the forty

167
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 2>seventh President of the United States. The one thing we

168
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 2>do know it will not be RFK and the other

169
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 2>thing we know will not be Joe Biden. So the

170
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>field's been winnowed. Six months, seven two, five, four, ten

171
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.399
<v Speaker 2>thirty six months, seven nine, three, one, ten thirty will

172
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 2>get it going. And I expect to go on this

173
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 2>topic at least until eleven. So this is a night

174
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>for the political junkies. Uh, it should be a good night.

175
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back on Nights Side after this. Now back

176
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 2>to Dan Way live from the Window World Nights Side Studios.

177
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm WBZ News Radio.

178
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>So I mean that there's so much in play here.

179
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>This is this is calculus. It's not just mathematics. It's

180
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:35.799
<v Speaker 2>not addition of subtraction. You could have the Kennedy voters,

181
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the majority of them break for Harris, the majority of

182
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.679
<v Speaker 2>them could break for Trump. The majority of them could

183
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 2>decide they're not interested in participating. You have no idea

184
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 2>which way this is going to go. And then it

185
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 2>could be that that it just might be one state.

186
00:12:54.120 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 2>One state, a Michigan, Pennsylvania, and a Minnesota, a Wisconsin

187
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 2>that they I love to cite for you the numbers

188
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:12.799
<v Speaker 2>that in Florida in two thousand, if you remember, al

189
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Gore was declared the winner because he carried Florida, a

190
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>state that I think had about at that time four

191
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:23.679
<v Speaker 2>million voters, by five hundred and twenty seven votes, also

192
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>on the ballot that fall, and remember they were recounting

193
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the hanging chads, and if you remember in December, the

194
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court said nope, stop the counting, and at that

195
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>point it was five hundred. I think the magic number

196
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 2>was five hundred and twenty seven, by which by which

197
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 2>Bush barely won. It got over the two seventy. If

198
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Gore had carried either his home state of Tennessee or

199
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Bill Clinton's home state of Arkansas, he would have won.

200
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Or if Ralph Nader had not been on the ballot

201
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.399
<v Speaker 2>in Florida, Nader had ninety five thousand votes. If those

202
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>votes had a second choice, I think the vast majority

203
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:11.799
<v Speaker 2>of them would have gone to Al Gore. Let's go

204
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>to the phone. Let me go to Peggy in South Boston. Peggy,

205
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you called in first, going to take you first, Go ahead, Peggy.

206
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:27.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm happyast but Kennedy going with President Trump. They both

207
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.519
<v Speaker 5>deserve a lot of happiness and been soe hell, but

208
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 5>two of them. I think. I worked volunteered for the

209
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:40.360
<v Speaker 5>Kennedys for years. Those Kennedy wrote to my number to

210
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:44.759
<v Speaker 5>have a social team for Jack when he ran for Congress.

211
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 5>And in nineteen sixty eight we had Ted Kennedy as

212
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 5>a tupeaker at Suffolk Downs and that was Notch nineteen

213
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 5>sixty eight. The next week they notched soon at Saint

214
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:01.600
<v Speaker 5>Patrick's state page, him and brav And then in April

215
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 5>God blisses Martin Luther King got killed and Robert went

216
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 5>to that seaman and little did he know he was

217
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.240
<v Speaker 5>going to get killed in June. I'm telling you the

218
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.639
<v Speaker 5>Kennedy family had been through absolute hell, and I wish

219
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 5>Roberts unhappiness. And I wanted him to run for vice

220
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 5>president with Trump because Trump's got my back and I

221
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.519
<v Speaker 5>and I think nor the crucified from day one.

222
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I got you down. I got you, I got you down, Peggy.

223
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because I told you before, if Joe came became

224
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:44.639
<v Speaker 5>our president, we could kiss America goodbye. All right, I

225
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:50.000
<v Speaker 5>got my ways for God loves him, the Kennedy guy,

226
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 5>and God bless Donald Trump and his whole family.

227
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, thangy, have a great weekend. Okay, get out,

228
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>get out. It's beautiful sunshine this weekend. Thanks much. Let

229
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 2>me go next to Chris in Chelmsford. Chris, you are

230
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>next on nightside.

231
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Go right ahead, Dan Ray, I was not a kid

232
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.799
<v Speaker 1>of the supporter. I this is the first time I

233
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.559
<v Speaker 1>ever heard him run for office. But I hope that

234
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 1>he gets well over of the lonei ildness that he has.

235
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if it's a lonely illness that he

236
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:28.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh no.

237
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.679
<v Speaker 2>He's got He's got some sort of a problem with

238
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.519
<v Speaker 2>his vocal cords. I'm not familiar with it, but I

239
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 2>think it is a condition that he's had for some time,

240
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 2>and it's not a condition that can be corrected. He

241
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:43.879
<v Speaker 2>he has a tough time speaking, but he certainly speaks

242
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.879
<v Speaker 2>well and people can understand him. But that's not something

243
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 2>that he can go and I understand to get fixed.

244
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:55.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so okay, But I think he would have been

245
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 1>he would have been great in the debates. If with him,

246
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure it's a tough one then, but I

247
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.039
<v Speaker 1>think he would have been the great president.

248
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's still a young man. He's only seventy, I

249
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>mean a young man in terms of presidential candidates. He's

250
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 2>a seventy And were now found that people over the

251
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.799
<v Speaker 2>age of seventy, well over the age of seventy, in

252
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.160
<v Speaker 2>the person of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, can run

253
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 2>for office, and in the person of Joe Biden, can

254
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.200
<v Speaker 2>serve the office. So you know, I mean, I'm assuming

255
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 2>that if Donald Trump wins, Joe Robert Kennedy Robert rfk Jr.

256
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Will have a position of some importance, maybe not a

257
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 2>cabinet position, or maybe a cabinet position, but certainly a

258
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>relatively high profile position. That's a that's a big decision

259
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 2>that he made today. And if I'm Donald Trump tonight,

260
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking to myself that that is only going to

261
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:58.880
<v Speaker 2>help the Trump campaign. But some of you might see

262
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 2>it differently. Some of you, you know, particularly if you're

263
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:06.559
<v Speaker 2>a Kennedy supporter and you've decided to look at it differently, Well,

264
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.960
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what people have to think. Who were you?

265
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Does this impact your vote in any way, shape or form.

266
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris, I know it does that. I voted earlier for

267
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the primary, for the September primary for karam Harris, and

268
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 1>it does not affect me.

269
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, waste you couldn't. She's not on the ballot in

270
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the in the September primary. Okay, So I understand you.

271
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry about that.

272
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, that's okay. So you're going to vote for

273
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:40.880
<v Speaker 2>come November. Uh for Kamala Harris, gotcha? Okay? Fair enough?

274
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>And you were never a Kennedy supporter, per se, So

275
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you are have have been a Democrat. Were you going

276
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:48.119
<v Speaker 2>to vote for Joe Biden before or No?

277
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 1>I was going to, but I wasn't sure of if

278
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>he was gonna.

279
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you had been, if he had been on

280
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the ballot, if he if he persevered and was on

281
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 2>the ballot, would have he been your choice?

282
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>He would have been if if he got things done

283
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:16.359
<v Speaker 1>right with poopen let him at poopin pootin right. Okay,

284
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>good enough, I'm sorry, that's.

285
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Thank you, Chris, talk soon here comes here comes

286
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the news at the bottom of the r Thanks Chris,

287
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.319
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you call. Have a great weekend. One line at six, one, seven, two, four, ten, thirty.

288
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:32.400
<v Speaker 2>A couple at six one seven. Look, if you're a

289
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 2>political junkie or if you like politics, I want to

290
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 2>hear from you tonight. Whatever your point of view on

291
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 2>this one is. Because this is a major day. It

292
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.440
<v Speaker 2>may turn out at the end to be much ado

293
00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>about nothing, But I don't think so. I think that

294
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>in some form of fashion this will have an impact

295
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>on the race. Though whether or not it will be

296
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.279
<v Speaker 2>enough to put Donald Trump back in the White House,

297
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:57.720
<v Speaker 2>no way to know that, no way to know that.

298
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>But all you need enough Kennedy voters in one important state,

299
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 2>one of the battleground states to make a difference. And

300
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:12.680
<v Speaker 2>if it's a close race, Donald Trump might under those circumstances. Oh,

301
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Robert F. Kennedy Junior, much more than even he believes

302
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.400
<v Speaker 2>he owes him. Tonight, we'll be back on Nightside, joined

303
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the conversation, got some open lines. Let's get it going.

304
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Coming back after this, You're on the Night Side with

305
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio. Let me go

306
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:31.240
<v Speaker 2>to Steve and Cambridge. Steve love to know what you

307
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:34.119
<v Speaker 2>think about what has transpired. It's just in the last

308
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.920
<v Speaker 2>few weeks, but particularly in the last twenty four hours.

309
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 3>God Steve, Dan wanted to ask you a question. You

310
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:46.359
<v Speaker 3>said that the Democratic Convention was fabulous in your opinion, yes,

311
00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:48.119
<v Speaker 3>that they did a fabulous job.

312
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:48.799
<v Speaker 6>I believe I.

313
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Didn't watch it, but I'm getting the impression to a

314
00:20:52.799 --> 00:21:00.720
<v Speaker 3>large extent, it was largely fomenting hatred against Donald Trump

315
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:12.000
<v Speaker 3>and by extension, his supporters, and also unabashedly accusing him,

316
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 3>particularly the Obama's speeches of racism, which I don't think

317
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:24.400
<v Speaker 3>is really hitting above the above the belt. What was

318
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.880
<v Speaker 3>your opinion of the would you agree with that. I

319
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 3>didn't see the convention, but what I'm hearing make it

320
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:30.599
<v Speaker 3>sounds like that.

321
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think Bobby Kennedy mentioned today that at one

322
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:37.759
<v Speaker 2>night in the convention. Well, let me play this. This

323
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 2>is Robert F. Kennedy responding to your comment, which is

324
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.279
<v Speaker 2>supports your comment. This is cut number twenty five. Please Rob,

325
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I'll comment on this after we played cut twenty five.

326
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:54.119
<v Speaker 4>In Chicago, the string of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump

327
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.359
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and forty seven times just on the first day.

328
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:00.039
<v Speaker 2>Who needs a policy.

329
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:04.680
<v Speaker 4>You have Trump to hate? In contrast, at the RNC convention,

330
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.240
<v Speaker 4>President Biden was mentioned only twice in four days.

331
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Last Let me give you one of the soundbites from

332
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Kamala Harris's speech last night, in which she left nothing

333
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.440
<v Speaker 2>in the bullpen. She went after Donald Trump for a

334
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 2>number of things. Cut for a rob.

335
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:35.039
<v Speaker 7>Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes. When he failed,

336
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.960
<v Speaker 7>he sent an armed mob to the United States Capital,

337
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:46.519
<v Speaker 7>where they assaulted law enforcement officers. When politicians in his

338
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 7>own party begged him to call off the mob and

339
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:58.400
<v Speaker 7>send help, he did the opposite. He fanned the flames.

340
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:05.000
<v Speaker 7>And now for an entirely different set of crimes. He

341
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 7>was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday

342
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 7>Americans and separately and separately found liable for committing sexual abuse.

343
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say that the Democrats made made their

344
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.279
<v Speaker 2>case against Donald Trump. But they they they they're very effective.

345
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:28.720
<v Speaker 2>It was a very effective speech I thought by Kamala Harris.

346
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris last night, Right, Well, I think Kennedy. I

347
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:39.799
<v Speaker 3>think it's very important what Kennedy is doing because he

348
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 3>is really pointing out something that goes beyond policy, Like,

349
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.880
<v Speaker 3>are Harris's policies better than Trump's? No Democrat, you know

350
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 3>there's something that goes beyond that.

351
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:53.480
<v Speaker 2>There wasn't by the way, there wasn't much policy in

352
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 2>any of the Democratic speeches throughout the week of this

353
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Certling was again the vice president gave a great acceptance speech,

354
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.559
<v Speaker 2>But if you were looking for a policy, it wasn't there.

355
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:11.640
<v Speaker 2>It was it was very it was it was an

356
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.519
<v Speaker 2>a plus on style and there was there was very

357
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.160
<v Speaker 2>little substance. And that's the campaign that the Democrats are

358
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:21.279
<v Speaker 2>now running. And in the last few weeks that campaign

359
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:22.559
<v Speaker 2>has proved effective.

360
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:23.960
<v Speaker 8>Well.

361
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 3>And I guess here's what I think Robert Kennedy's important

362
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.200
<v Speaker 3>because he's unafraid. I think he believes what he says.

363
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:34.680
<v Speaker 3>He's not someone who goes with the political wins, even

364
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 3>though he's very much of an odd ball. And one

365
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.640
<v Speaker 3>thing he points out that I think it's very important,

366
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:48.319
<v Speaker 3>and that is the Democratic Party is very willing to

367
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 3>completely suppress free speech, destroy anybody who disagrees with them.

368
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.240
<v Speaker 3>And even though they say they're not the party of hatred,

369
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:05.000
<v Speaker 3>are filled. They're filled with hatred. And I think Kennedy

370
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 3>is pointing in this out and if he continues pointing

371
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:09.400
<v Speaker 3>out it could be very effective.

372
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean is he basically identifies with what happened

373
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>to him as they say. The thing that both most

374
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 2>bothered me about how he was treated was the fact

375
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.920
<v Speaker 2>that he was not given Secret Service protection until there

376
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 2>was an assassination attempt on President Trump. And I thought

377
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 2>that was vile and pernicious by the Biden administration, not

378
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:40.319
<v Speaker 2>to give Secret Service protection to a member the Kennedy family,

379
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.039
<v Speaker 2>whose family had already lost two political leaders in President

380
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy and Robert Kennedy's dad, two assassination attempts in the

381
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:54.839
<v Speaker 2>nineteen sixties assassinations in the nineteen sixties. So he's feeling it.

382
00:25:54.920 --> 00:26:00.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is the revenge of of RFKA.

383
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Here, because they have tried to destroy him, and they

384
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 3>have tried to destroy Donald Trump, and they will go

385
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker 3>to any length to do that. And I think that

386
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:13.240
<v Speaker 3>is really dangerous for our country.

387
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Sure it is, because I don't see how if you

388
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:21.680
<v Speaker 2>have and again, you know, if forty you know, forty

389
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>five percent of the country will vote for Donald Trump,

390
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.799
<v Speaker 2>at least forty five percent will vote for the Democrat,

391
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.279
<v Speaker 2>and the other ten percent will decide who wins. Joe

392
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Biden ran as the Great United in twenty twenty. I

393
00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:37.359
<v Speaker 2>don't think he succeeded in uniting the country. I really

394
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>don't now. Donald Trump made a plethora of misstatements and misactions.

395
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean the fact that he summoned that mob on

396
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 2>January sixth. You've heard me my spiel on that I

397
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:53.039
<v Speaker 2>don't have to repeat for you. It was. It was

398
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>an absolute horrific mistake. And if he had just accepted

399
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.359
<v Speaker 2>the outs of the election, there have been closer elections

400
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:06.160
<v Speaker 2>and moved on and all of that would have been

401
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 2>would no longer be democratic ammunition. But it is and a.

402
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Lot no question that Donald Trump is an extremely floid candidate,

403
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 3>and he's not slick and smooth like the Clintons and

404
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:24.519
<v Speaker 3>the Obamas, and evidently Harris is Harris was.

405
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Very smooth, very smooth last night, Okay, And I thought

406
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:31.839
<v Speaker 2>I thought she did a great job for what she

407
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.880
<v Speaker 2>what she had to do. You know, she basically made

408
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.559
<v Speaker 2>her case against Donald Trump. And a lot of people

409
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.880
<v Speaker 2>are going to listen to that. Maybe people who don't

410
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:41.920
<v Speaker 2>follow politics as close the issue, but a lot of

411
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:43.599
<v Speaker 2>people are going to listen to and say she made

412
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a great first impression last night for people who really

413
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:47.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't know much about her.

414
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Did you watch the whole convention?

415
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Dan, No, no, no, no, Because obviously I was on

416
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the air every night.

417
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 3>The hardest working man in talk radio. I'll take that,

418
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 3>thank you, thanks very much.

419
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let me go next to Susanna Is in Newton. Susanne,

420
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:06.839
<v Speaker 2>you were next on Nice Go right ahead.

421
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 9>Good evening dance. Thanks for taking by Carl. I just

422
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:17.720
<v Speaker 9>stayed to the point tonight. Uh tamalo Uh? I guess

423
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.319
<v Speaker 9>was the start of the show. I will vote in

424
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Speaker 9>person with fire picture idea. They were not for her,

425
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.799
<v Speaker 9>but on my old lady soul, and I keep getting

426
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.440
<v Speaker 9>these things promises that I can get a ticket to

427
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.960
<v Speaker 9>Beyonce or Taylor Swift if I just support the Democrats,

428
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:40.160
<v Speaker 9>which didn't.

429
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, there was a rumor that Beyonce was going to

430
00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:46.359
<v Speaker 2>be there last night. If she didn't show up whatever,

431
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:50.559
<v Speaker 2>But they had they had star power. Oprah was there,

432
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry, I think the Golden State Warriors was there.

433
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:58.880
<v Speaker 2>They had a lot of political leaders. They had Pink,

434
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:01.799
<v Speaker 2>they had chicks or now they just called they think

435
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 2>the chicks. Whatever. They had a lot. Stevie Wonder was there.

436
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 2>John Legend was there. It was They put on quite

437
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:08.960
<v Speaker 2>a show.

438
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:13.480
<v Speaker 9>They put on hashed the sport on TV. But it

439
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 9>seems that Barack Obarbara and Michelle O Barbara and Bill

440
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:20.079
<v Speaker 9>Clinton have aged desperately.

441
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I don't think Bill Clinton was the

442
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.119
<v Speaker 2>most effective speaker. I didn't watch much of his speech,

443
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.160
<v Speaker 2>but it kind of got panned by a lot of

444
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Democratic commentators as once again being a little too long,

445
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.519
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't nearly. You know, Michelle Obama gave a

446
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 2>good speech, Barack Obama gave a good speech. That they

447
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 2>were the stars of the.

448
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:45.759
<v Speaker 9>Show, and you forgot Elizabeth Ward was well, she was there.

449
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:47.799
<v Speaker 2>But I think the fact that we found out yesterday

450
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.920
<v Speaker 2>that her ancestors owned upwards of fourteen slaves kind of

451
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:54.440
<v Speaker 2>took a little of the shine off of Elizabeth Warren.

452
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:56.480
<v Speaker 2>If you saw that story that I just.

453
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:03.759
<v Speaker 9>Call short. I have a in person on the third

454
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 9>of right after every day to go to the polls

455
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 9>and vote for mister Dayton, not sovis.

456
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well we'll see how that one works out. Thanks

457
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:14.960
<v Speaker 2>very much, that.

458
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 1>D Thanks for dating Michael.

459
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:20.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank you, Suzan. We'll talk talk again soon.

460
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very much. We'll take a very quick break. The

461
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:24.759
<v Speaker 2>only line is open at six one, seven, two, five, four,

462
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:29.599
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. Your reaction to this whole development today, RFK

463
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>now now has endorsed Donald Trump. He is he basically

464
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:35.920
<v Speaker 2>has suspended his campaign. What do you think? What do

465
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 2>you say? Coming back on Nightside? Now, back to Dan

466
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Ray Mine from the Window World night Side Studios on

467
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>w b Z, the news Radio. Let's go to Bob

468
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.160
<v Speaker 2>and can't And Bob, I appreciate your patience. You've been

469
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:51.039
<v Speaker 2>holding on a little bit and you're up at back.

470
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Go right ahead, Bob.

471
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 6>Well, thanks to what Dan. And that was a great

472
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:59.000
<v Speaker 6>topic tonight. And I've enjoyed the college so far. Probably

473
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.000
<v Speaker 6>a special but I think I am a Trump supporter.

474
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.200
<v Speaker 6>But I do admire JFK very much. I mean at

475
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:12.359
<v Speaker 6>Jaffy Afk RFK Junior very much. I think the guys

476
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.200
<v Speaker 6>I know, Steve called him an oddball. I wouldn't go

477
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.039
<v Speaker 6>that far, but he's willing to stand alone. You know,

478
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:23.160
<v Speaker 6>today everybody likes to follow the crowd. That's you know, Dan,

479
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.359
<v Speaker 6>I grew up in a Democrat home. I'm almost your age.

480
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:28.720
<v Speaker 6>I vote it for mcgoblin, I vote it for Jimmy Carter.

481
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.039
<v Speaker 6>That Democratic Party is long gone. It's long gone. I

482
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.079
<v Speaker 6>look at it today. Bobby Kennedy is right. I mean,

483
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 6>it's all this foolishness about the children and drag queens

484
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:45.079
<v Speaker 6>story hours and all this nonsense. Just I don't want anything.

485
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:46.240
<v Speaker 8>To do with that foolishness.

486
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:48.480
<v Speaker 6>And I just see them as a bunch of lemmings,

487
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:53.920
<v Speaker 6>you know, dissing Donald Trump and praising all this garbish.

488
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.559
<v Speaker 6>And I think I looked at out of Here's the

489
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 6>ironic thing, Dan, You know, John F. Kennedy wrote that

490
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 6>great a profiles encourage and every year they give those awards,

491
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 6>those Profile Encourage awards. Who is a greater example of

492
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.839
<v Speaker 6>a profile encourage than Bobby Kennedy? But he would never

493
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 6>win that award. His extended family has dissed him. They

494
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.920
<v Speaker 6>put out a statement today basically saying they were ashamed

495
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.279
<v Speaker 6>of him. And Dan, I'm going to make a prediction

496
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:26.279
<v Speaker 6>tonight at Nightside that the next Profile Encourage Award is

497
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:27.640
<v Speaker 6>going to go to Joe Biden.

498
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:29.359
<v Speaker 8>That's my prediction.

499
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've seen it happen a lot. Okay, the Kennedy

500
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Library has politicized that award. Every once in a while

501
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:40.960
<v Speaker 2>they will give the award to someone like a John McCain,

502
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 2>or to a Liz Chase or an Adam Kinsinger of

503
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:48.759
<v Speaker 2>having the courage to stand up, you know whatever. But

504
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.079
<v Speaker 2>that's where they want to take it. I've said to

505
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.599
<v Speaker 2>friends of mine who are Democrats, give me a Democrat today,

506
00:32:56.680 --> 00:33:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Tell me a Democrat today who will quote Presidentity and say, uh,

507
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:03.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, in focus words, ask not what your country

508
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>can do for you, what you can do for your country.

509
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:11.359
<v Speaker 2>With the Democratic Party, it's now often much more, you know, ask,

510
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>ask not what your country could do for what your

511
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:21.000
<v Speaker 2>country could do for you. The opposite.

512
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:24.799
<v Speaker 6>It's completely the opposite, and it's sad, but I think

513
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:27.839
<v Speaker 6>I think it's a good move for Bobby Kennedy Junior,

514
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 6>and it's a good move for Trump. I don't know

515
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 6>if Trump will win, but if he does win, I

516
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:34.559
<v Speaker 6>think there'll probably be a very high level position in

517
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:35.400
<v Speaker 6>the administration.

518
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Should be Bobby Kennedy could have stayed on the sideline.

519
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:42.359
<v Speaker 2>So okay, Bob is always great to hear your voice.

520
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:45.200
<v Speaker 6>Thank you so much, you too, thank you calling the show.

521
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I have a great night. All right, let me move on,

522
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 2>say good night to Bob. Let's see who's coming up next.

523
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Susan in no excuse me, I gotta

524
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I will come to Susan and Worcester, but I gotta

525
00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:57.279
<v Speaker 2>go first to Pete in South Carolina because he's been

526
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.000
<v Speaker 2>holding on a little longer. Pete, welcome back. How are you.

527
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 8>I'm fine, Dan, you welcome back. I heard you had

528
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:04.880
<v Speaker 8>a good chip.

529
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>It was hot. It was hot, I will tell you that.

530
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 2>But it was Rome and the Mouthy Coast in the

531
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 2>first week of August. We expected it, but it was.

532
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.360
<v Speaker 2>It was beautiful, I know.

533
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 8>And you told me there was going to be a

534
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.840
<v Speaker 8>lot of walking and apparently there was. And no, I

535
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:23.119
<v Speaker 8>can't do that, yep.

536
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:28.760
<v Speaker 1>But anyway we missed. Well maybe the next month. To

537
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:33.079
<v Speaker 1>get on topic one. I'd been a lifelong Republican, Okay.

538
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember back when I was in sixth grade. I

539
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 1>believe you were in sifth The nuns at my Catholic

540
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.559
<v Speaker 1>school were going crazy. John F. Kennedy, John F. Kennedy,

541
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:46.360
<v Speaker 1>John F. Kennedy, John F.

542
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:49.039
<v Speaker 8>Kennedy today would be a Republican. Yea.

543
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:54.519
<v Speaker 1>From what I saw the last week and what I've seen,

544
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:58.119
<v Speaker 1>what the you know, what they did to King Biden.

545
00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Uh is just I don't know where it's coming from.

546
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I really don't. As you said, she gave a great speech,

547
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.159
<v Speaker 1>but I want to know who wrote it right?

548
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, she wrote she delivered it really well. There was

549
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot of rhetoric, long on long on style, short

550
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:20.559
<v Speaker 2>on substance. We understand that. I think there were a

551
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of promises made. There were subjects that were never

552
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>touched upon, never really touched upon. Inflation. Per Se talked

553
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:29.599
<v Speaker 2>about I promise I will bring the prices of this, this,

554
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.159
<v Speaker 2>and this down. Well when did the prices go up?

555
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you get if you put, if you make

556
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:37.679
<v Speaker 2>your connections there. At the same time, I think Trump

557
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:42.079
<v Speaker 2>is a flawed candidate, and just as maybe Hillary Clinton

558
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.239
<v Speaker 2>was the only Democrat that he could be to nineteen

559
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:49.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen, he might be the one Republican candidate who

560
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.320
<v Speaker 2>can't get elected in a general election. He may have

561
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:54.960
<v Speaker 2>an inability to get over that fifty percent mark or

562
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.360
<v Speaker 2>whatever you'll have eight percent.

563
00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

564
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:03.880
<v Speaker 8>I don't know either. But I think Robert F. Kennedy

565
00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:06.960
<v Speaker 8>Junior coming out and saying, you know, I'm going to

566
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.480
<v Speaker 8>back Donald Trump or throw my support behind Donald Trump,

567
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:13.119
<v Speaker 8>I think that cause is a little bit of concern

568
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:18.079
<v Speaker 8>to the Democrats because of what happened in Georgia, what

569
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:21.760
<v Speaker 8>happened in Pennsylvania, And as you know, I'm a PA guy.

570
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 8>It's going to be an interesting next two and a

571
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:28.880
<v Speaker 8>half months.

572
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Whatever it is, you got it, and I want to

573
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:34.280
<v Speaker 2>have you keep calling. We want to continue to hear

574
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.199
<v Speaker 2>from you. And you are a representative in South Carolina.

575
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I think I know which way South Carolina is going

576
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:41.679
<v Speaker 2>to go in this election. If if Trump doesn't win

577
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:45.719
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina, then it's a landslide for Harris. But I

578
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:48.199
<v Speaker 2>also want to hear from the callers in the so

579
00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:50.599
<v Speaker 2>called battleground states. Pete as always.

580
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 8>I appreciated so much, always a friend, and I'm glad

581
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:58.119
<v Speaker 8>to see this again. The political conventions and all this other.

582
00:36:57.960 --> 00:36:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Stuff out of the way.

583
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Now we get to see what now it's now it's

584
00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:04.280
<v Speaker 2>in the trenches. Now it's in the trun I will.

585
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Be talking to you over the next Well, I've been

586
00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:07.280
<v Speaker 1>talking to you.

587
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:08.320
<v Speaker 8>Let's just leave it at that.

588
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:11.039
<v Speaker 2>You got it, Cranks, I appreciate it all. Let me

589
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:14.320
<v Speaker 2>go to Susan and Wooster. Susan is a big Trump supporter.

590
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Susan, Yeah, I like this move.

591
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:20.679
<v Speaker 10>I really do. I think Rob mc kennedy all the

592
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:25.599
<v Speaker 10>kid about was helping the kids and of during his life.

593
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:28.960
<v Speaker 10>I mean, he was good. I didn't really know that

594
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 10>much about him. You know, I never did because I

595
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:35.239
<v Speaker 10>didn't really like the Kennedys, to tell you the truth.

596
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>You like this Kennedy, though, don't you now that he's

597
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:40.400
<v Speaker 2>supporting your man?

598
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:45.400
<v Speaker 10>Well, because they're they're mavericks. They're both on the same wavelength.

599
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I think you're right on that.

600
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:49.440
<v Speaker 10>It's true.

601
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I said, it's true. I said, I think you're right

602
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.199
<v Speaker 2>on that. I think they are very very maverick. When

603
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:56.920
<v Speaker 2>he heard and when you.

604
00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:00.760
<v Speaker 10>Heard that the Trump got shot, thought but was his

605
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:04.840
<v Speaker 10>uncle and his father and the person he said, this

606
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.519
<v Speaker 10>is a setup. Like I told you before, you shushed

607
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:12.199
<v Speaker 10>me off. But c I a the deep state? How

608
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:14.960
<v Speaker 10>did this guy do everything? A kid? He had help

609
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:17.159
<v Speaker 10>doing it? And where's row.

610
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.719
<v Speaker 2>There's this well, I don't know. Let me just let

611
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:26.760
<v Speaker 2>me just respond. There's no evidence at this point. There

612
00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:29.239
<v Speaker 2>may be evidence that's developed, there's no evidence at this

613
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:31.800
<v Speaker 2>point that this kid was anything other than a loser

614
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:35.559
<v Speaker 2>who was able to figure it out. And they apparently

615
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:39.920
<v Speaker 2>today there were five Secret Service agents who were suspended

616
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:41.800
<v Speaker 2>or placed on administrative leave.

617
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Because I have to tell you, well, it tells me

618
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:45.639
<v Speaker 1>that they're.

619
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Doing an investigation. And if if there were people who

620
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:51.920
<v Speaker 2>who were negligent, they should be punished. If there were

621
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:56.239
<v Speaker 2>people who were intentionally not doing their job, that's a

622
00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:57.000
<v Speaker 2>different struggle.

623
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.800
<v Speaker 10>That's what I'm trying to say.

624
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.159
<v Speaker 2>I know that you have no proof of that.

625
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:07.440
<v Speaker 10>What he gave the downside things to tell them to

626
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:11.199
<v Speaker 10>just you know, walk around, know around. And the butler

627
00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:14.760
<v Speaker 10>Boliefs took over and you can hear one guy saying

628
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:17.119
<v Speaker 10>on the video, that's your job. What are we doing?

629
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:20.000
<v Speaker 10>But one smart guy tried to get on the roof,

630
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:23.199
<v Speaker 10>but he fell down, and then that crooked kid.

631
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:26.760
<v Speaker 2>There was one guy that got himself boosted up onto

632
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:28.599
<v Speaker 2>the roof and the kid played the gun at him

633
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:30.480
<v Speaker 2>and he and he got.

634
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:35.119
<v Speaker 10>But getting back to Bobby Kennedy, yeah he wants this job.

635
00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:38.840
<v Speaker 10>And they were talking about it open Donald Trump and

636
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:43.400
<v Speaker 10>Grabbit Kennedy and John Trump says, m that's what I

637
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.159
<v Speaker 10>would like my legacy to be. He wants to go

638
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:49.599
<v Speaker 10>into chronic diseases about the children.

639
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, all right, you got it all in. Unfortunately,

640
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm plaid out of time, so I gotta let you

641
00:39:54.400 --> 00:39:57.880
<v Speaker 2>run for you for now. Thanks Susan kid, she's.

642
00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:58.519
<v Speaker 10>An empty suit.

643
00:39:58.679 --> 00:39:59.760
<v Speaker 1>The only way she's all right.

644
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:02.880
<v Speaker 2>That's look, you said, all sorts of positive things about

645
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.599
<v Speaker 2>your candidate. Let's keep it positive at once. Thanks Susan.

646
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:07.559
<v Speaker 2>Here comes the ten o'clock news on Nightside.
