Speaker 1: It's with I'm telling you Boston News Radio.
Speaker 2: Thanks to my guest last hour, doctor John Friedman. Again,
Speaker 2: really good questions from the audience. Again, a couple of
Speaker 2: the specifics. Tough to comment on a specific set of
Speaker 2: circumstances unless you really know the story. And again I
Speaker 2: would think that the call that John made about the
Speaker 2: child with who was being treated for brain to umer.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine that someone would show up with their
Speaker 2: child for a scheduled brain Truman treatment and then have
Speaker 2: it rescheduled. Now again, I guess there could be circumstances
Speaker 2: where if the specific type of medication was not available,
Speaker 2: but you would think that someone would call them in advance.
Speaker 2: I kind of imagine the heartache that apparent would be
Speaker 2: going through spot. We'll put that aside. I'm sure that
Speaker 2: John had heard the story, and I'm sure that it
Speaker 2: would have upset it upset him as much as it
Speaker 2: would have accept me if I had heard it. So
Speaker 2: I thank him for calling. But again, it's just difficult
Speaker 2: to have a guess, particularly who's talking about, you know,
Speaker 2: a broader subject, to try to deal with a specific
Speaker 2: that he or she might be unfamiliar with. Anyway, I
Speaker 2: would like to spend the last two hours in Dusty.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the amount of ideas that
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has floated in the last month. He's been
Speaker 2: now president, since today's the twenty first of February. For
Speaker 2: one month and one day, it's been a whirlwind of activity.
Speaker 2: Whether you support him or oppose him, he has thrown
Speaker 2: so many ideas out there that done very well in
Speaker 2: terms of their cabinet selections. I mean, it's just been
Speaker 2: a wealth of activity. Again, some are going to see
Speaker 2: it as positive, some will see it as negative. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter how you see it. Your point of view
Speaker 2: is always welcome here on Night Side. I have a
Speaker 2: question that I that I want to phrase, and I
Speaker 2: want to try to phrase it as well as I can,
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping to get some insight. My question, essentially,
Speaker 2: is President Trump and the Trump administration have been on
Speaker 2: the offensive for the last month in a day. I mean,
Speaker 2: they've been dealing with the Middle East, they've been dealing
Speaker 2: with Ukraine, and again, whether you think he's done it
Speaker 2: well or not, has had phone calls with Russian dictator Putin.
Speaker 2: Vice President Vance was in Europe speaking to NATO and
Speaker 2: European leaders and delivering messages that frankly were not probably
Speaker 2: messages that those European leaders wanted to hear that they
Speaker 2: would have to assume a greater financial responsibility. Obviously, what's
Speaker 2: going on here with Elon Musk and the cuts that
Speaker 2: are being proposed, the layoffs, all of that has just
Speaker 2: been a whirlwind of activity. You can focus on anything
Speaker 2: you want. My question is this. I know that a
Speaker 2: lot of the Democratic senators has spoken out against him,
Speaker 2: but I have a theory and I want to test
Speaker 2: that theory with my audience. And that theory is this,
Speaker 2: I believe that Donald Trump is in the minds, in
Speaker 2: living in the mind space, the headspace, living in the
Speaker 2: brains of a lot of Democrats. Rent Free. We had
Speaker 2: a call a couple of nights ago from one of
Speaker 2: my favorite callers, David from San Francisco. And David called
Speaker 2: up and I wasn't quite sure what he was talking about,
Speaker 2: but apparently Donald Trump had tweeted or one of his
Speaker 2: media outlets had tweeted a picture of him on the
Speaker 2: cover of what looked like Time magazine. It didn't say Time,
Speaker 2: it said Trump, And basically he was wearing a crown,
Speaker 2: and I think it was in the same day that
Speaker 2: he had said that he was going to prevent New
Speaker 2: York City from engaging in congestion pricing. Now I haven't
Speaker 2: I have no idea where his authority would come for that,
Speaker 2: but obviously, as the former New Yorker, clearly it was
Speaker 2: something he wanted to do, and he did it, and
Speaker 2: I think that he just is a master at tweaking
Speaker 2: the Democrats. Now, in addition, we've also had some unfortunately
Speaker 2: some horrific accidents of plane accidents. The crash on the
Speaker 2: Potomac is the one that the things that I think
Speaker 2: most of and I think most of us you see
Speaker 2: what happened. I'm in Toronto yesterday. Now again that's in Canada,
Speaker 2: but it's a flight that started in Minneapolis. And there
Speaker 2: have been other activities. He's gone out and he's met
Speaker 2: with the people in California. He's met with Mayor Bass,
Speaker 2: who I guess tonight had decided to fire her a
Speaker 2: police chief, which is interesting, met with the governor out there,
Speaker 2: engaged in a couple of little mini debates, if you will,
Speaker 2: with them, and was in North Carolina and received a
Speaker 2: very warm reception of people in North Carolina because he
Speaker 2: had said that the Biden administration had not taken care
Speaker 2: of people in North Carolina with FEMA support, and he
Speaker 2: was a big favorite in North Carolina. But it just
Speaker 2: shows the polices that he's been, the things that he's done.
Speaker 2: I don't know how he keeps up the pace, but
Speaker 2: I do think that he's living at this point. He
Speaker 2: drives the Demoocrats nuts. He also comes in in this
Speaker 2: first month, unlike in twenty seventeen. In the first month
Speaker 2: of twenty seventeen, his first Trump much better prepared, surrounded
Speaker 2: by a better group of people. Arguably, now, whether or
Speaker 2: not Cash Patel turns out to be better than rather
Speaker 2: Piam Bondi turns out to be better than Jeff Simons
Speaker 2: as the Attorney General, I suspect she will, but we'll see.
Speaker 2: We'll have to see. He's been able to bring Robert Kennedy,
Speaker 2: Robert F. Kennedy, all of the cabinet selections have passed.
Speaker 2: He's held his Republicans together. But so I just want
Speaker 2: to go to my exchange with David the other night
Speaker 2: in which he comes on and somehow Trump posts this
Speaker 2: cartoon like picture and to David it becomes a declaration
Speaker 2: that Trump has made himself king. Not true, not true,
Speaker 2: But this is David. Let's go to the shorter version,
Speaker 2: Rob cut twenty five A. This was from I should
Speaker 2: know what specific night it was from, and I don't.
Speaker 2: I think it was Tuesday night. But I'll check that
Speaker 2: out and I'll have that for you when we get back.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead, Rob, I was calling to find out
Speaker 3: how the patriotic thirteen Colonies Revolutionary War city of Boston
Speaker 3: is facing Donald Trump's declaration that he's a king.
Speaker 2: We haven't had, we haven't heard about the declaration he's
Speaker 2: the king. When did he make that declaration?
Speaker 3: That's look here at the headlines New York Times, Long
Speaker 3: Live the King. Trump likens himself to royalty on truth,
Speaker 3: social and.
Speaker 2: Not a declaration. That's yeah, do me, favorite, That's really
Speaker 2: not a declaration.
Speaker 4: I know you try.
Speaker 2: It's not a declar David. I mean, it's like out
Speaker 2: of the blue. So somehow David had interpreted that as
Speaker 2: a declaration. Now, at the same time, the Democrats seem
Speaker 2: totally off balance, and if the best they seem to
Speaker 2: have come up with is some of the tried and
Speaker 2: true Democratic players. This is Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate
Speaker 2: Minority leader who used to be the Senate Majority leader
Speaker 2: but now is the Senate Minority leader. Cut number thirty eight.
Speaker 2: Listen to this are inspiring, Chuck Schumer led chant.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stand with you in this vibe and way well,
Speaker 5: when way well, when way well, when way well, when
Speaker 5: way well, when we we.
Speaker 2: Won't rest.
Speaker 1: We won't rest, We won't rest, we won't rest.
Speaker 2: Thank you, everybody. Not quite new Rockney with the Gipper's
Speaker 2: speech at halftime, but you get my drift. The bottom
Speaker 2: line is what do the Democrats have to do to
Speaker 2: to get back on the field. Here? Can they get
Speaker 2: back on the field. I'd prefer to hear from Democratic
Speaker 2: supporters who's who's the next leader of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2: It's certainly not going to be Chuck Schumer, Nord, Nancy Pelosi, Nord,
Speaker 2: Joe Biden nor. I would argue Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris,
Speaker 2: kamala harris whatever. I still am confused sometimes Kamala is
Speaker 2: the way that correct pronunciation when I think about it,
Speaker 2: six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty, six one seven, nine,
Speaker 2: ten thirty or triple eight nine to nine, ten thirty.
Speaker 2: I have never ever remembered the Democratic Party being this leaderless,
Speaker 2: this seemingly on their heels as they have been put
Speaker 2: on their heels in the last month. No, obviously things
Speaker 2: can turn around, We've seen that before. But what do
Speaker 2: they have to do to regain the support? I mean
Speaker 2: they had, they got almost fifty percent of the vote
Speaker 2: Vice President Harris. But what if you're a Democrat out there?
Speaker 2: What how do you come back from? How do you
Speaker 2: how do you get back in the game? I guess
Speaker 2: is the way I'm even trying to. I feel like
Speaker 2: it's a hockey game and your down eight nothing in
Speaker 2: the first three minutes of the game. We'll be back
Speaker 2: at Night's Ide joined the conversation.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: So let's say maybe there's a strategy out there for
Speaker 2: the Democrats. I don't know. I mean the look Trump
Speaker 2: is like the energizer bunny. He just doesn't stop, doesn't sleep.
Speaker 2: Joel and Natick, Hey, Joel, welcome back. How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm fine, Dan, how are you doing good?
Speaker 2: So we're raising the question of I mean, I've never
Speaker 2: seen the Democrats as impotent as as they have been
Speaker 2: every one of Trump was able to hold all the Republicans,
Speaker 2: of virtually all the Republicans together to get all of
Speaker 2: his cabinet nominees through. I think I'm not sure if
Speaker 2: there's anyone who was. I think McMahon still means to be.
Speaker 2: She's yet to be. But Patel got through, Robert F.
Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior got through. It's it's been an interesting month
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump. What do you think about? What can
Speaker 2: the Democrats do? What advice would you give them?
Speaker 4: Okay, this is my advice, Dan. The Democrats should do
Speaker 4: away with the agendas of Wolkeness, women and men in
Speaker 4: girl sports, transgender issues, and DEI policies. Stop attacking Trump's
Speaker 4: policies with lawsuits with Democratic judges because Republicans will find
Speaker 4: Republican judges who will appeal the lawsuits and their wasting
Speaker 4: taxpayers money. And then the last thing is, how can
Speaker 4: Democrats complain about Trump giving all Americans twenty percent of
Speaker 4: a good twenty percent excuse me, giving all Americans five
Speaker 4: thousand dollars each in the form of a Dodge dividend,
Speaker 4: part of the twenty percent savings that the Dodge that
Speaker 4: Dodge will find.
Speaker 2: Well I think the argument there was made today by
Speaker 2: Speaker Johnson, and that is, hey, we got to use
Speaker 2: that money to pay off the debt. So that's the argument.
Speaker 2: But I understand, I understand your concern. News interesting there
Speaker 2: was an article in The New York Times a few
Speaker 2: days ago in which Jake Arkincloss, who's the congressman, might
Speaker 2: even be your congressman in Ano mistake. I could be
Speaker 2: wrong on that, but he's a congressman from Newton and
Speaker 2: his district runs down all the way to fall River.
Speaker 2: And he was being interviewed by Ezra Kleine, who I
Speaker 2: guess has some sort of a podcast that's associated with
Speaker 2: the New York Times. I had Ezra Kleine on my
Speaker 2: show many years ago. He's a very progressive, but well
Speaker 2: progress practical progressive than most. Auchen Class made a point
Speaker 2: to me which I had heard, but I had forgotten
Speaker 2: about the city of fall River, which is a you know,
Speaker 2: blue collar, working class city, voted for Donald Trump for
Speaker 2: president in November, the first time in a hundred years
Speaker 2: that the citizens of fall River had voted for a
Speaker 2: Republican for president. That's an astonishing fact, an astonishing fact.
Speaker 2: And Auchen Class was who's a liberal, you know, pretty
Speaker 2: progressive guy. He was talking about how the Democrats have
Speaker 2: done exactly what you just said, and they have chased
Speaker 2: all of these little small splinter groups, transgender groups and
Speaker 2: you know, different different causes, and has alienated, you know,
Speaker 2: people who traditionally had been Democrats and pushed them over
Speaker 2: to the Republican Party. You may be onto something, Joel.
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 2: I do. I do so. I think maybe you they
Speaker 2: could hire you, the Democrats could hire you as a
Speaker 2: political consultant.
Speaker 4: I'm not a Democrat.
Speaker 2: I know that. No, I know that, but I think
Speaker 2: that you gave what would be advice. They probably won't
Speaker 2: take that advice. But obviously, when you think about Seth Moulten,
Speaker 2: who's a pretty traditional Democrat, when he made the comment
Speaker 2: about his he did not look forward to his daughters
Speaker 2: being facing competition of of males when in their teenage
Speaker 2: years in their high school sports. He was eviscerated for that.
Speaker 2: And it's almost as if they wanted to run him
Speaker 2: out of the Progressives wanted to run him out of
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party, which just is insane because he's a
Speaker 2: He's a pretty respectable, respectable guy. Joe always great Dan
Speaker 2: voice Dan.
Speaker 4: One one more thing. Yeah, the l A l A
Speaker 4: may the fire chief, not the police chief.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'm sorry if I said police chief, I misspoke. Yes, Uh,
Speaker 2: she fired the fire chief. There had been rumors of
Speaker 2: them being uh, you know. The mayor is interesting. She's
Speaker 2: conducting an investigation. It sounds as if of herself why
Speaker 2: she didn't stay in Los Angeles and she decided to
Speaker 2: go off on some forearm chunket. Yeah. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: it's like, you don't know why. I guess she's she's blaming.
Speaker 2: She wants to find that some of her aids didn't
Speaker 2: give her adequate warning about the danger of the fires. Question,
Speaker 2: No question, But I mean it would be like if
Speaker 2: I don't know, if if you were we're putting up
Speaker 2: a window, a storm window on your house and you
Speaker 2: somehow let the hammer or the screwdriver slip and you
Speaker 2: broke the glass. And then you say, well, I want
Speaker 2: to find out who broke the glass. She was the
Speaker 2: one that screwed up, and now she's blamed. She's going
Speaker 2: to fire the fire chief. What unbelievable. It's it would
Speaker 2: almost be funny if it wasn't so funny. Hey, Joe,
Speaker 2: thanks much, appreciate it so much. We'll talk soon, Okay,
Speaker 2: Navy for me. Thanks good night. Let me go to Suzanne.
Speaker 2: Susanna next on Nights on your advice for the Democrats.
Speaker 6: Well there, I say Donald Trubb was legitimately. I take
Speaker 6: how the Democrats should try the new cause, like saving
Speaker 6: the rainfalls. I saw Elizabeth worn on television today in
Speaker 6: some barkcard beating her wrest We're gonna fight, We're gonna fight,
Speaker 6: and we're gonna kill a.
Speaker 3: Geez.
Speaker 6: It's got a little Elizabeth.
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Warren has has very quickly. I think somehow put
Speaker 2: put herself in a in a position where she is
Speaker 2: people are starting to laugh at her. That is not
Speaker 2: a good spot for politicians.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, well she even she's in her gaged community
Speaker 6: in Cambridge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think she has a gated community. But
Speaker 2: she's in a nice she's in a nice area, and
Speaker 2: I think that she has some sort of police.
Speaker 6: But her mother told her she was a Native American.
Speaker 2: Well that's what that she said. She had high cheekbones,
Speaker 2: so that was and then she was crazy enough to
Speaker 2: take a test which banded.
Speaker 6: So I was just in person for Donald Trump and shady.
Speaker 6: So I just want to.
Speaker 2: Emphasize that Elizabeth Warren was so convinced that she was
Speaker 2: actually a Native American she took a blood test, a
Speaker 2: test which proved she wasn't a Native American anyway.
Speaker 6: I read Dan on your show, you should invite her on,
Speaker 6: and then you had the show. I've been it did too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, we invited her many many times, and she
Speaker 2: doesn't do she she doesn't even do progressive radio programs
Speaker 2: in Boston. So if she's not going to do progressive
Speaker 2: radio programs in Boston, I don't think I have to
Speaker 2: have to worry about Elizabeth Warren coming on the program.
Speaker 6: Donald Trump has been erected again. These movies Fast and Well, and.
Speaker 2: Then I got to run. I was trying to have
Speaker 2: a chat with you there. Thanks very much, but we're
Speaker 2: flat out of time. Here comes the news. We'll be
Speaker 2: back right after this.
Speaker 1: It's Night Side, Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: Fact. We go to the calls. Let me go to California.
Speaker 2: Bob checking in from the Golden State. Hey Bob, welcome,
Speaker 2: How are you, Dan.
Speaker 7: I'm doing okay to yourself. I hope you're doing lode.
Speaker 2: I'm trying my best tonight let me tell you. So,
Speaker 2: my question is, how do the Democrats get up off
Speaker 2: the mat here and provide, you know, an alternative to
Speaker 2: to Donald Trump. I mean I think he's he's living
Speaker 2: rent free in a lot of their heads.
Speaker 7: Yes, I agree, And to me, it comes down to
Speaker 7: the Democrats. And I've been in the middle as you
Speaker 7: know for many years. The Democrats have no plan. They
Speaker 7: have no plan, they have no agenda. They're completely in
Speaker 7: free fall. The one I'd like to add this to
Speaker 7: the program. I knew a number of Democrats out here
Speaker 7: in California, A number of them, I mean like six
Speaker 7: of them are friends of mine that have said over
Speaker 7: the last few years they stopped being Democrats. They said,
Speaker 7: because the Democrats abandoned the middle class. Okay, they cut
Speaker 7: the middle class loose, they being the Democrats. They sold
Speaker 7: out to millionaire donors. Okay, we can say the Republicans
Speaker 7: and so to billionaire donors, but that's another story, you know.
Speaker 7: But yeah, you know the Democrats, right, they've sold out
Speaker 7: and they're more focused, to your point, on transgender bathrooms
Speaker 7: and DEI and all this other nonsense that has no
Speaker 7: connection to the middle class. And I believe the reason
Speaker 7: that President Trump got re elected is the fact he's
Speaker 7: saying what the Democrats used to say thirty forty years ago.
Speaker 7: Trump is saying what the middle class wants to hear, okay,
Speaker 7: saying exactly he knows how to hit their buttons. Now,
Speaker 7: I will add on this call, I think he's got
Speaker 7: about two years right to uh, to back it up
Speaker 7: with the right actions, because I believe Americans for the midterm,
Speaker 7: they will, as they always do, vote with their wallets,
Speaker 7: and if the economy holds and gets better or stays good, right,
Speaker 7: they will re elect Republicans. If the economy doesn't hold, okay,
Speaker 7: that'll be the opening for the Democrats. You know, they'll
Speaker 7: go after Trump and the Republicans. So so, in my opinion,
Speaker 7: it's all going to depend on the economy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it always does. And of course he's he's there's
Speaker 2: there's all sorts of you know, where's inflation going to
Speaker 2: be six months from now? Right now, he could say
Speaker 2: he's still dealing with the Biden economy. But the Biden economy,
Speaker 2: as time goes on, slips away and it becomes the
Speaker 2: Trump economy, right all right.
Speaker 7: One of the things I'm sorry, good I was gonna
Speaker 7: say the thing that I'm laughing at. Schumer is on
Speaker 7: there shouting like fight, fight, fight. Let me ask you
Speaker 7: and ask the other callers. What is he proposed people
Speaker 7: should fight for? Should they fight against the efforts that
Speaker 7: Trump is making to make tax dollars more accountable and
Speaker 7: to cut down the federal government, which I think that's
Speaker 7: so overdue. Okay, all these stupid departments that have nothing
Speaker 7: to do that the federal government should even be involved
Speaker 7: in a lot of these areas like public TV, public radio,
Speaker 7: Give me a break, Okay, Like, what is Schumer saying
Speaker 7: that we should fight to continue to give money to illegals?
Speaker 2: I think what Schumer is saying is let's fight for
Speaker 2: the status quo that existed before November fifth. That's what
Speaker 2: he's talking about. Because every change that that Trump talks about,
Speaker 2: a lot of them are pretty popular. I think people
Speaker 2: do feel that the government is too bloated. We have.
Speaker 2: We talked earlier this week with economics professor Jeff Myron,
Speaker 2: he's the chair of the Undergraduate Economics Department at Harvard,
Speaker 2: and we talked about the fact that the federal the
Speaker 2: federal debt, not the deficit, the debt, how much we
Speaker 2: owe thirty six point two trillion dollars. It's a lot
Speaker 2: of money, right, well, and we have an annual GDP
Speaker 2: of about twenty eight million trillion dollars. So when you
Speaker 2: get to the point that your debt exceeds your your GDP,
Speaker 2: you're in what's known as banana republic territory.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right, that's right to me. Yes, he's the
Speaker 7: cut the government down big time, right, like we was saying.
Speaker 7: But the other thing, I think these tax breaks of
Speaker 7: the rich are ill timed. Okay, they can afford to
Speaker 7: pay the taxes, Okay, with that kind of deficit, he
Speaker 7: should not be taxes for rich people. They're no more entitled,
Speaker 7: okay to be here than any of us are. Okay.
Speaker 2: I think that the idea of sending checks back five
Speaker 2: thousand dollars checks, uh is is symbolic and unnecessary. And
Speaker 2: I'm sure there would be some people who would appreciate
Speaker 2: the five thousand dollar checks and maybe if they said, okay, look, uh,
Speaker 2: if you make less than seventy five thousand dollars, you
Speaker 2: get the five thousand dollars check. But someone who makes
Speaker 2: six figures one hundred thousand dollars more, they don't need
Speaker 2: the additional five thousand dollars, and I think that would
Speaker 2: be a mistake. I think that should be used to
Speaker 2: retire the debt, to reduce the debt. As Speaker Jackson
Speaker 2: is said today, all right, Bob, as often as really
Speaker 2: as most often, we're pretty much on the same page.
Speaker 2: Let me find some people who disagree with us. Okay, thanks,
Speaker 2: I'm going back to you. Sure good nine six one seven,
Speaker 2: two five four ten thirty one line there six one
Speaker 2: seven that just filled six one seven nine three one
Speaker 2: ten dirty coming to Larry in West Roxbury. Larry you
Speaker 2: in next on nightside.
Speaker 8: Welcome, good evening, Dan. I think that they should go
Speaker 8: at mister Trump's sweetness is a lot a lot more
Speaker 8: than they do. For example, he's a draft dodger. He's
Speaker 8: the most famous draft dodger in the country. I'm a veteran,
Speaker 8: and he decided he didn't need He's a yellow fob.
Speaker 2: So they have run that.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: I think most people would agree with you that he
Speaker 2: had a bone spur in his heel and that kept
Speaker 2: him out of military service of any kind. No, he
Speaker 2: got an outside doctor to goat that was what that
Speaker 2: was what the outside doctor said. Larry, Okay, I'm not
Speaker 2: justifying it. I'm just saying that, uh, he's.
Speaker 8: No, there's more to it than that. You know, you
Speaker 8: don't get he got it. He gotta. He bought his
Speaker 8: way out.
Speaker 2: Ob Okay, that's that's fine. But my question is this,
Speaker 2: do you not think that that issue was raised in
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and was raised in twenty twenty. The problem
Speaker 2: is everybody also knows that he spent some time with
Speaker 2: women other than his wife. Let's put it like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think a lot of that stuff is
Speaker 2: now baked in. Unfortunately. I think they got to go
Speaker 2: after one issues. That's what I think.
Speaker 8: All right, Well, you know there's the middle of class,
Speaker 8: which i'm a member of. Sure you know I'm not.
Speaker 8: I've been his range nobodys and my wife was also.
Speaker 8: We served. He elected not do head. I think they
Speaker 8: should make say are you yellow? Are you yellow? And
Speaker 8: this Keith hammering at him, he must be a yellow fob.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Larry, we'll see if that, if
Speaker 2: that rings true for some of our other callers, see
Speaker 2: if people agree with that. Appreciate your call six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. Those lines are full. If you want to
Speaker 2: get through six one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
Speaker 2: We will go next to Glenn Glenn in Brighton. Glenn,
Speaker 2: what did the Democrats do to get off the off
Speaker 2: the mat if you will.
Speaker 9: I've been saying this since twenty fifteen. They need to
Speaker 9: lose the Trump derangement syndrome. And that last caller, I mean,
Speaker 9: Quinton dodged the drift. I mean, you could. That's not
Speaker 9: going to work.
Speaker 2: Well. I was trying to make that point to Larry,
Speaker 2: but I don't think Larry was picking up when I
Speaker 2: was laying down here. It's been out there if it
Speaker 2: was going to be effective. Everybody knows that. Everybody knows
Speaker 2: it's an issue. I mean, it's like it's like going
Speaker 2: after Bill Clinton over Monica Lewinsky, Right, you know, the
Speaker 2: public didn't care, right.
Speaker 9: But the thing is, I mean I'm hearing I'm hearing
Speaker 9: this congresswoman from Texas, Jasmine Crockett, saying went out in
Speaker 9: the business of getting giving out money. You know about
Speaker 9: the five thousand dollars. And I agree with Mike Johnson
Speaker 9: on this. I think it's fiscally responsible. However, Jasmin Crockett
Speaker 9: wants reparations. She's stronger than I in oppressedly. So we
Speaker 9: do give out money. We put it we hes in hotels. Hello,
Speaker 9: uh's the jazz.
Speaker 2: No, we're giving out billions of dollars to people who
Speaker 2: the only way that they were able to deserve it
Speaker 2: was they came across the border illegally. And I think
Speaker 2: that caught up with the Democrats. I think that a
Speaker 2: lot of people have said, hey, what's going on? And
Speaker 2: I don't know that they can. That they can, they'd
Speaker 2: almost have to turn maybe not one hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: degrees but one hundred and seventy five degrees away from
Speaker 2: some of the constituencies.
Speaker 9: I mean, I mean they beat up on poor Seth's
Speaker 9: moment because if something he said about the transgender you know.
Speaker 2: What he was, He's really talking about his daughters. I mean,
Speaker 2: in truth, I don't blame him dad, Yeah, neither do I.
Speaker 2: And Seth Moulton, by the way, is a pretty progressive Democrat.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And and he tried to uh to speak well, to speak,
Speaker 2: to speak his truth. We've heard those phrase before, You've
Speaker 2: got to speak your own truth. That was his own truth,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't respected, No, it was it was out
Speaker 2: of line.
Speaker 9: With the narrative.
Speaker 2: It's more than the narrative. It almost was a biblical teachings.
Speaker 2: It's like talking to somebody who was was a Bible
Speaker 2: thumper and try to disagree with them with their interpretation
Speaker 2: of the Bible. No matter what you say, they're going
Speaker 2: to have a response to it.
Speaker 9: And there was I think.
Speaker 2: Seth Moulton was pretty great for well, first of all,
Speaker 2: I know, I don't think he was that great. I
Speaker 2: think he spoke the way in which any dad of
Speaker 2: daughters is going to speak. No dad of daughters wants
Speaker 2: to see their daughter competing in a uh, in a
Speaker 2: lacrosse match, or in a field hockey or in volleyball
Speaker 2: with some guy who's six foot two and who says
Speaker 2: he's a he's a woman. And girls have been injured,
Speaker 2: girls have been injured in Massachusetts.
Speaker 9: Badly, especially in boxing.
Speaker 2: They said that, oh, yeah, well last the Olympian last summer.
Speaker 2: I mean, give me a break. And then you've had girls, women,
Speaker 2: high school students who have lost you know, state championships
Speaker 2: or in swim meets. I mean it's I just think
Speaker 2: the American people got fed up with it. And I
Speaker 2: don't know how they how the Democrats. The Democrats are
Speaker 2: not going to turn around and say, hey, look we
Speaker 2: were wrong on that issue.
Speaker 6: You know that.
Speaker 2: But I think I think they're a real tleny here. Now.
Speaker 2: You know, the parties in this country do tend to
Speaker 2: come back from bad electoral defeats, and this was not
Speaker 2: the worst. The Democrats come back from the fete of
Speaker 2: McGovern in seventy two, the Republicans come back from the
Speaker 2: defeat of old Water in sixty four and and from
Speaker 2: Mondale in eighty four. But it took a while. I know,
Speaker 2: it took a while.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One thing, and we have we have a really good
Speaker 2: uh question coming up at ten at eleven o'clock, so
Speaker 2: you get you get a full pass at.
Speaker 9: Eleven you know, Oh, thanks you. But I just want
Speaker 9: to say a thing I love about you with Sometimes
Speaker 9: you support Trumpet, sometimes you call them out. You're more
Speaker 9: objective than I am, and I mean, and then when
Speaker 9: you call when you support, when you don't call them up,
Speaker 9: someone from what Island it says you're a trump supporter
Speaker 9: over there.
Speaker 2: You can't win no, no, well true, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: it often depends upon your your perspective of where you're
Speaker 2: looking for looking at me from Hey Jelenna, Thank you much.
Speaker 2: We'll talk soon. Thanks much.
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks, talk to you later.
Speaker 2: Uh. Two lines at six one seven, nine three one
Speaker 2: ten thirty one at six one, seven, two, five four
Speaker 2: ten thirty. Uh. What can the Democrats do to to
Speaker 2: regain their footing? Would be one way to describe it.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm trying to be sensitive here, Okay. I think
Speaker 2: they they have not been able to do anything in
Speaker 2: the last month other than they've run the same place
Speaker 2: against Donald Trump. Take them back to court. Well, I
Speaker 2: don't know that that's going to be as successful this time.
Speaker 2: I don't know that. Obviously there's a big change in
Speaker 2: our policy towards Ukraine. Is that an issue that the
Speaker 2: Democrats that are hill the Democrats want to die on?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe feel free to join the conversation.
Speaker 2: Coming back right after this on night Side on a
Speaker 2: Friday night.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: But again, everybody, let me go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,
Speaker 2: what are the Democrats have to do to regain their footing?
Speaker 10: Well, Dan, first, they need to get transparent. They do
Speaker 10: everything behind closed doors. Next thing, do is uh, you know,
Speaker 10: the big lie. Okay, there was so many big lies
Speaker 10: that the American public saw right in their faces, like
Speaker 10: Joe Biden's the sharpest thing going on. And then the
Speaker 10: other one was the oh it was for months months, Okay,
Speaker 10: Trump is hitler, Trump is fascist Trump's and then and
Speaker 10: then the very next day after the election, you see
Speaker 10: Trump sitting in the Oval Office shaking hands. Everybody knows
Speaker 10: that these these lies are gonna be hard, hard, hard
Speaker 10: to get over. But I do have a solution for him.
Speaker 2: Then, Okay, that's.
Speaker 10: I think dad. Have a mass uh big convention of
Speaker 10: all the all the superstars in the Democrat Party, the
Speaker 10: Elizabeth Warrens, and I can get them all together, okay,
Speaker 10: and then have a mass exorcism.
Speaker 2: Okay, a mass exorcism. That's interesting.
Speaker 10: Yeahs I beg Bill.
Speaker 2: Doct you later they were are going to go next
Speaker 2: to Eric and Attenborough. Eric, what do the Democrats have
Speaker 2: to do to get back on their feet?
Speaker 11: They had to appreciate taking my call. I'm not sure
Speaker 11: if I remember I called a few times about the
Speaker 11: Israel Palestine thing, but I will tell you, you know,
Speaker 11: the Democrats, here's the theory that I have I think
Speaker 11: they really need to whittle down as to their leadership
Speaker 11: and look at like some of the key components of
Speaker 11: what it is to be a president president, and two
Speaker 11: of them. One is commander a chief of the military,
Speaker 11: the other is veto power. So I think that there
Speaker 11: should be some sort of new speakeasy rule where it's
Speaker 11: an absolute that any future candidates the Democrats put forward
Speaker 11: both have served in the military and therefore can speak
Speaker 11: the language and have the natural earned defense of those
Speaker 11: who go through the initiation of going from civilian to
Speaker 11: military erry and to truly be commander in chief. The
Speaker 11: other having veto power that means veto power over legislation,
Speaker 11: over law. I think that having a jyris doctorate and
Speaker 11: having passed the bar should be the other mandatory thing.
Speaker 11: And you know those are two kind of things to
Speaker 11: set a trend.
Speaker 2: Well, you just nominate, You've just nominated Seth Molten.
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, well, this is just a well I'm
Speaker 11: starting with the process of elimination.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just I mean that's that he would fit
Speaker 2: both of those categories. He's a Democrat.
Speaker 11: I know that that sounds great to me. Like, I see,
Speaker 11: what's very important to look at like Bobby Kennedy. Is
Speaker 11: it that Kennedy is to a Democrat? Is you know,
Speaker 11: air is to breath? You know, I mean when people
Speaker 11: really need to take a close look at the Kennedy Democrat,
Speaker 11: like you know, American Kennedy democrat. I mean, he didn't
Speaker 11: go with Trump. He went with Trump because Trump, you know,
Speaker 11: it just was ready to put forward like ideas. Okay,
Speaker 11: I mean, well.
Speaker 2: He challenged Trump.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well you remember, though, Eric, he challenged Trump, and then
Speaker 2: he went along with he became he partnered with Trump.
Speaker 2: Once it was a parent. He was not going to
Speaker 2: be the nomin He was not going to be able
Speaker 2: to win. His numbers started to slide a little bit.
Speaker 2: There was a period of time when he was showing
Speaker 2: like fourteen to fifteen percent, and people were saying, well,
Speaker 2: if he can double that number, but he didn't double it.
Speaker 2: He had it.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 11: And also here's here's the other aspect, you know, like
Speaker 11: one of the things that Trump said, I don't know
Speaker 11: if he signed an executive order, and then again I
Speaker 11: don't know how that. I mean, one of the very
Speaker 11: unfortunate things is how like somehow any circuit judge can
Speaker 11: come down and just strike down an executive order. I mean,
Speaker 11: that's a conversation for another day. But that that does well.
Speaker 2: But eventually those those judges rulings can be appealed, so
Speaker 2: that's you know, that's not a problem. Those those are
Speaker 2: not final rulings. Those are our initial rulings in the
Speaker 2: court sys.
Speaker 11: I want to know what you think about this film.
Speaker 11: You know how Trump talked about redesigning the Department of Education.
Speaker 11: So Democrats, I think should take pint of like a
Speaker 11: Cobra Kai spark Are twenty eighteen. If you just hear
Speaker 11: me out, like, let's take away some of the trigonometry
Speaker 11: in space Shakespeare. Let's teach these kids from from K
Speaker 11: to twelve like how to defend themselves and how to
Speaker 11: provide first aid for their comrades, for like their classmates.
Speaker 2: Okay, all of that is interesting, but I've got new
Speaker 2: other calls, Eric, who I wanted.
Speaker 11: It's just a radical, wholesome viewpoint.
Speaker 2: I got it. I got Eric with you, and I
Speaker 2: have done four minutes. These two guys are going to
Speaker 2: get a minute or less than a minute eight So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you run for now. Thank you much.
Speaker 2: Next up, Bob and Rhode Island, Bob igat you and
Speaker 2: I got Bernie in New Hampshire go ahead, byb.
Speaker 6: Okay, Dan, Yeah, I'm right on the n Did you
Speaker 6: hear what Trump said to the governor of.
Speaker 4: Maine today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's yeah, see you talk right.
Speaker 11: What do you.
Speaker 6: Think of that?
Speaker 9: I think Trump?
Speaker 2: I think that he's been trude enough. He's he's more
Speaker 2: than willing to go into court against anyone.
Speaker 10: I mean, yeah, well he's gonna lose too.
Speaker 2: Okay, So well that's great. So what should the Democrats do? Okay, Bob,
Speaker 2: so you're with Larry? Okay, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2: You think that you think that you and Larry should
Speaker 2: go around to call him a yellow belly s ob Okay,
Speaker 2: keep keep working on that one, thanks, Bob. Let me
Speaker 2: go to Bernie in New Hampshire. Bernie, you get to
Speaker 2: find a word here, Bernie, go right ahead. What should
Speaker 2: the Democrats do?

Speaker 11: No, no.
Speaker 12: I was raised a Democrat in Massachusetts. My you know,
Speaker 12: my parents were Kennedy Democrats, and they had a purpose then,
Speaker 12: and they seem to have lost their way. I don't
Speaker 12: know if there is any hope for the Democratic Party
Speaker 12: and because especially you are a team setting them in Massachusetts. Elizabeth,
Speaker 12: when she's wrong, she just stots. Yelling like that doesn't
Speaker 12: make you when you get louder, doesn't.
