1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>It's Nights with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's News Radio.

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, Dan Watkins. We have reached the

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.960
<v Speaker 2>twelfth hour of the week. I'm off for the balance

4
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 2>of the week. So for me, this is my last

5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.920
<v Speaker 2>night for about ten days. I'll be back on the

6
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>fourteenth of July, which is a Monday. I just want

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 2>to make sure when the calendar changes, but to make sure, yeah,

8
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>the fourteenth, Yeah, I'm going to be off tomorrow, Friday,

9
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>and next week. I've actually had a fairly busy six months.

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 2>We have knocked out about one hundred and twenty one

11
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>shows since New Year's Night, and I was actually on

12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>New Year's Night. So what I want to do is finish.

13
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>We are literally at the cusp of the Fourth of

14
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 2>July weekend. This is the two hundred and forty ninth

15
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 2>celebration of the Fourth of July here in America. Next

16
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 2>year will be the big round number two fifty, and

17
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I just want to open up the lines and give

18
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>you a chance. I know that the Fourth of July

19
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people think of it as picnics and barbecues,

20
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of people think about maybe having a

21
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>couple of drinks whatever, go to a ballgame, all of

22
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 2>which is good, all of which is great. But the

23
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>meaning of the fourth of July is that two and

24
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>forty nine years ago, a bunch of Americans who none

25
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 2>of us knew personally, who have long since passed generations,

26
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 2>before they rolled the dice, they gambled their their lives

27
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and their fortune and their future by breaking away from

28
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Britain and initiating the with what happened at Conquered Lexington

29
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>in seventeen seventy five and Bunker Hill, which we've just celebrated,

30
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 2>and then on the director that the Declaration of Independence

31
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 2>and threw into the seventeen eighties until we finally were

32
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 2>able to convince the Brits that we were indeed a

33
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>nation of our own. We over the course of the

34
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 2>year here on Night Side, we often deal with issues

35
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and we get people who disagree on topics and all

36
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 2>of that, and I realized that that in the era

37
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:41.719
<v Speaker 2>of Donald Trump, there are strong feelings in both directions,

38
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 2>on both sides. However, this is the time of year,

39
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the one weekend I would hope that we can put

40
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>our political positions aside and just say, hey, whether you're

41
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>a conservative, Republican liberal Democrat ended end. I don't know

42
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 2>even a socialist from New York City running for mayor,

43
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>that we're all lucky to be here, that we live

44
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>in the safest country in the world. We have crime. Sure, absolutely,

45
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.639
<v Speaker 2>has there been an attack, yeah, nine to eleven. Absolutely,

46
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 2>Pearl Harbor before it, of though Hawaii was not a

47
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 2>state at the time. So I'd like to hear from you,

48
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>and what is it that you like best about America.

49
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that there's a lot of things that you

50
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>don't like, and whether you're a conservative or a liberal,

51
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>there's plenty that you could cite for me what you

52
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>don't like. But I think that all of us, really

53
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>we're very lucky to be born here. Now, there may

54
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>be other countries around the world that you'd prefer to

55
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>live in, Okay, that's fine. You may want to tell

56
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 2>me that there's a paradigm in Sweden and Norway one

57
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>of the Baltic countries, so you'd rather live I don't

58
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>know wherever Canada, Okay, But I don't see too many

59
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>people leaving America. To be really honest with you, I

60
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>know that every once in a while you'll have some

61
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>ROSI o'donnald type who who. I don't know if they

62
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 2>really leave for good, or if they leave for ulterior motives,

63
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 2>or if they're looking for some publicity. Their careers are

64
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of a reach the twilight stage. I

65
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>don't know. But what is it about America that you

66
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>like best? And I'll bet you we will get a

67
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>variety of points of view. For me, it is the

68
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 2>judicial system that we have. And again, maybe as a lawyer,

69
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>you would expect me to say that, but it is true.

70
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it is a judicial system where, in all honesty,

71
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 2>we as a country made it as decision a long

72
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>time ago that it's better to have one hundred guilty

73
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 2>people go free than one innocent person be convicted. And

74
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 2>we're not talking about the death pedal there. So I

75
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 2>just want to open it up. I could talk all

76
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 2>night about how lucky I feel to have been born

77
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>in America. I have great memories of Fourth of July

78
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 2>as a kid, I grew up in Reidville, as they think,

79
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>all of you know at this point, which is a

80
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>part of Boston, a part of Hyde Park, if you will.

81
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 2>We always thought of ourselves as a separate section. And

82
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 2>I can remember that on the fourth of July. The

83
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 2>big kick was this is back in now in the

84
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 2>late fifties, early sixties, the MDC, the Metropolitan District Commission.

85
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day, you could go up to Camp

86
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Megs and they would give you a Hoodsie cup a

87
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 2>hoodsy cap if you remember those in a little wooden spoon.

88
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe some of you remember them, maybe you don't. I

89
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>just am going to open up the lines here. What

90
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>is it you like best about this country? And do

91
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>you consider yourself liking to be an American? Do you

92
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 2>consider yourself liking to be born here? I know there

93
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 2>are people who don't, but I'm hoping to hear from

94
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 2>as many of my callers as possible. If you've called

95
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>earlier this week, you always have a hall pass on

96
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the final hour of the week. This is not the

97
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 2>twentieth hour, but it's the twelfth hour. It's a relatively

98
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 2>shortened week for me. As I said, my good friend

99
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Morgan White will be here tomorrow night and Friday night.

100
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Morgan White, and please treat Morgan well as

101
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>you always do, and then I'll be back on March

102
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 2>four or July fourteenth. March fourteenth, if only no the

103
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 2>vacation will not be that long. On July fourteenth. Here

104
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>are my numbers, and they're pretty easy. Six one, seven, two, five, four,

105
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty, six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty.

106
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 2>I will be sorely disappointed if on a topic as

107
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.519
<v Speaker 2>simple as this, on the cusp of the fourth of

108
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>July weekend, these lines do not explode and stay lit

109
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.519
<v Speaker 2>until midnight. Six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty

110
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 2>six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. I hope

111
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 2>when you tell me what you like best about America,

112
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 2>I hope that you will need to identify yourself. So

113
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>maybe people who have a different view of this country

114
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>than you politically will be able to realize that there

115
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 2>are good people on both sides of the political spectrum,

116
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>and whether you again are a Republican conservative republican or

117
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 2>just a conservative, or a liberal Democrat or died in

118
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.439
<v Speaker 2>the world democrat, whatever you want to call it, that

119
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>there are people who disagree with you politically but fundamentally

120
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world and

121
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>feel that they lucked out on the I guess I'll

122
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 2>call it the birth lottery to have been born here

123
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 2>and even at this time back on Nightside. The only

124
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 2>lines open right now are six one seven, nine three,

125
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>one ten thirty. Let's light them all up. Let's light it.

126
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 2>Light my lines up like a Christmas tree. Let's let

127
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.879
<v Speaker 2>him look like fireworks. Feel free to join this conversation

128
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:17.759
<v Speaker 2>back after this.

129
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray, Boston's news radio.

150
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's it. Yeah, there's some guardrails, and most of

151
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>us observe the guard rails, and and and things go along.

152
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that all of us have complaints. We as

153
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Americans tend to be uh kind of complainers. We get

154
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>a little cranky, we don't want to pay as much taxes.

155
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>We're concerned that. You know, all of us have our

156
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.960
<v Speaker 2>pet peeves. You wouldn't be an American without a pet peeve.

157
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 2>But it's important to let people know this weekend and

158
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>tell people not only here on the on night side,

159
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 2>but tell them everywhere that, hey, you're proud to be

160
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 2>an American and for all of our flaws, we're still

161
00:09:58.039 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 2>the best country in the world. I hope you agree

162
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>with me that.

163
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh, definitely, definitely, Dan, Definitely.

164
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 2>There are some other great countries out there, Okay, and

165
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>there's some other real tough countries to live in, but

166
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.039
<v Speaker 2>nothing as good as far as I'm concerned as this country.

167
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 2>And I've traveled a little bit, I've seen a pretty

168
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 2>good part of the world. Never been to Asian, never

169
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>been in Africa, never been to South America, spent a

170
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 2>lot of time in different countries in Europe and European countries.

171
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.960
<v Speaker 2>They're wonderful, no question, but they can't talk the good

172
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 2>old US of a.

173
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.440
<v Speaker 4>In my opinion, Dan, where are you going to find

174
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 4>democracy like the United States?

175
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Israel?

176
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 4>Besides US? Do aren't any others?

177
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Well? I mean you'll have other democracies Britain, But I

178
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>think of Israel as a democracy that's under fire, and

179
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.200
<v Speaker 2>yet they've been able to survive seventy seven years since

180
00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>they're founding in nineteen forty eight. Yeah, that's there were

181
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 2>fewer democracies in the world than people realize, and that

182
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>that is scary. Joe, you have a great fourth of July,

183
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.639
<v Speaker 2>and I thank you for joining the conversation tonight. You're

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 5>Me, it's it's truly the land of opportunity. Is somebody

195
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 5>who is a first generation American here in this country great,

196
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 5>which I absolutely love.

197
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 5>and a checked luggage bag, and you know turned it

201
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 5>into being able to give me everything I have today.

202
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 5>And you know you can't. There's no other place where

203
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 5>you could be able to do that.

204
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Boy, that's great.

205
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:08.279

<v Speaker 2>you do? What sort of work do you do?

208
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 5>I just finished my master's degree in social work, so

209
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.519

<v Speaker 5>it's she came here and she got her nursing degree

211
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 5>while while she had us, and you know it's nowhere else,

212
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.399
<v Speaker 5>exactly nowhere else you could do that.

213
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, when you put it in the terms of your

214
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.279

<v Speaker 2>Uh uh and is able to successfully navigate everything that

216
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:52.279
<v Speaker 2>she had to navigate. Wow, I'm glad I didn't have

217
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.440
<v Speaker 2>to have those obstacles. To be honest with you, and

248
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:28.679
<v Speaker 3>this country? I love the history. I've lived and worked

249
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 3>in Boston, as you know, I'm from Philly, and the

250
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 3>history is fantastic. And the opportunities so that everybody can

257
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:03.480
<v Speaker 2>year nineteen on October first.

258
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, I got one other thing to tell you,

259
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 3>because they know you want to get a lot.

260

261
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 3>This is important.

262
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

263
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.159
<v Speaker 3>On July eighth, you and I are going to turn

264
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.759
<v Speaker 3>one year older, So happy birthday. Because I won't be

267
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>a hold of me. But happy birthday to you, Pete.

268
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I know that we do share that birthday and it's

269
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 2>not the same year, but we're pretty close. We're pretty close.

270
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 3>So one year.

271
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.600
<v Speaker 2>And no one has to know who's older or younger,

272
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that.

273
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying a word my friend.

274
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Anyway.

275
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I also like the fact that I like this kid

276
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 3>who's playing for Boston Roman Anthony. Yeah, I really like him.

277
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Did he play for your son?

278
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 2>No? He he was I think at Double A last

279
00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:00.480
<v Speaker 2>year and okay, and he came up and he was

280
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:06.000
<v Speaker 2>on the fast track. He's he's the young good yeah. Yeah.

281
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 2>And they they almost swept the Red Legs, but they

282
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.960
<v Speaker 2>they were leading three nothing tonight and unfortunately one of

283
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.039
<v Speaker 2>the relievers gave up a grand Slam home run to

284
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I think eight hitter. So but they won. They won

285
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:20.600
<v Speaker 2>the series. I'm not sure they're going to the World

286
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Series this year, but there certainly are between between Anthony

287
00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Christian Campbell, the kid that they sent down, uh and Meyer,

288
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the kid who's primarily playing third base. They have some

289
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>young young guy there and some young people there. And

290
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.679
<v Speaker 2>I also very much like there was a pitcher named

291
00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Dobbins who's won a bunch of games. Young guy and

292
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>another guy named Fitz who they they got from the

293
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Yankees and he hasn't won his first game yet, but

294
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.200
<v Speaker 2>he's pitched really well. So I think this hope for

295
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox going forwards, maybe.

296
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Not to see what happens. Maybe it'll be a Red

297
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 3>Sox silly World series that.

298
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Would be fun. We'd have to have some out of

299
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:01.000
<v Speaker 2>a bet on that.

307
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:24.319
<v Speaker 2>to be an American.

308
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 5>I am Dan.

309
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 6>This is one of the best charges I ever made,

310
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.519
<v Speaker 6>Like I tell people on the second best choice that

311
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.319
<v Speaker 6>I ever made.

312
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Your wife, absolutely exactly exactly, and I can not be

313
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>more grateful.

314
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean, this is the country that gave me the

315
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:49.319
<v Speaker 6>opportunity and we just keep on doing it. And I'm

316
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.440
<v Speaker 6>thank God for Donald Trump because we were going on

317
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.440
<v Speaker 6>the wrong path and he brought us back.

318
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know, I know that you did. You feel

319
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.359
<v Speaker 2>strongly about that, and there's a point of personal privilege.

320
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.279
<v Speaker 2>I'll let you get that in. But I hope that

321
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 2>I'll get people on both sides of the equation, the

322
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 2>political equations.

323
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.480
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, It's like being a results fan and a Yankish fan.

324
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 6>We all can be friends at the end of the day, Yes,

325
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:20.200
<v Speaker 6>but not when it comes to it. In American number

326
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.759
<v Speaker 6>one for me in my book, because the opportunities that

327
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.160
<v Speaker 6>I have and this is the best country that there is,

328
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.440
<v Speaker 6>second to none. Absolutely, And I love you with all

372
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.279
<v Speaker 7>was so grateful that we didn't have war here. And

373
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 7>I actually I spent uh good amount of time with

374
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 7>one of my my aunt Irene in Cleveland, Ohio, and

375
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 7>we had I had cousins who were uh from who

376
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 7>lived in England and they were sent here and they

377

383
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.519
<v Speaker 2>countries around the world have these caste systems, and that's

384
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:51.799
<v Speaker 2>they decide when you're in the seventh or sixth or

00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.000
<v Speaker 9>very blessed my my you know, I had my my

<v Speaker 9>And I have a nephew now serving in the Army.

<v Speaker 9>So I'm very blessed, like I have so much. You know,

400
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 9>I'm so lucky to be here in America.

401
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.799
<v Speaker 2>You have the branch, you have the service branches covered

402
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 2>in your family. That's a very very patreonic family.

403
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:56.759
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, my father and mother always is still so much

404
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:01.240
<v Speaker 9>history into us. They I like, you know, to be here,

405
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:04.960
<v Speaker 9>to be uh taught freedom and you know that we're

406
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 9>lucky to be here. They always make sure.

407
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, the funny thing about it, Aileen, as

408
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.599
<v Speaker 2>as you know, is it's kind of a quirk of faith.

409
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I have no idea why I was born

410
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>in America. Uh, I mean I kind of look at

411
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 2>it like, there's X numbers of babies who are born

412
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:28.039
<v Speaker 2>around the world, and I think our population is six percent,

413
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:31.720
<v Speaker 2>so kind of added about a six percent shot could

414
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 2>have been born in a whole bunch of different places.

415
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:36.960
<v Speaker 2>And uh I liked. I like where I landed, and

416
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 2>uh I like Boston as well. To be honest with you,

417
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I did a lot of parts of the country I

418
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:44.680
<v Speaker 2>would have been comfortable with. But I like this city

419
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 2>and I like I like I like the weather, I

420
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:50.640
<v Speaker 2>like the change of seasons. I know that there's other

421
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.359
<v Speaker 2>parts of the country where people live where uh you know,

422
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the weather's a nice seventy degrees most days, a few

423
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:02.440
<v Speaker 2>little cool days and some warmer days. But I'm I'm happy.

424
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm a happy camper, simplest, simple ast that about. The

425
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:09.319
<v Speaker 2>other thing is about drivers. That's we could do a little.

426
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:13.119
<v Speaker 2>We could all become better drivers, I think right, and

427
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:17.359
<v Speaker 2>it would be perfect. Thanks Thanks so much, Christina. Always

428
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.880
<v Speaker 2>great to hear your voice. Christine, thank you so much.

429
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:22.960
<v Speaker 9>Happy for it to July. I have a great vacation.

430
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I sure will. I'll be back. I'll be back on

431
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the fourteenth of July. Thanks Christine. Let me go to

432
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Matt Matt and Brighton. Matt, you were next on Nightside.

433
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.640
<v Speaker 2>What do you like best about America? Oh?

434
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.400
<v Speaker 10>Well, first off, man, I wish you and your family

435
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 10>to come blessed fourth of July and Pennans Day.

436
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Right back at.

437
00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.480
<v Speaker 10>Absolutely thank you. You know, I'm of the younger generation.

438
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 10>America is something that I never want to take for granted.

439
00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:00.160
<v Speaker 10>I am born here and it brings so much opportunity.

440
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.160
<v Speaker 10>There are issues and all that, but it brings so

441
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:10.640
<v Speaker 10>much opportunity, so much happiness. We're in a free, democratic society,

442
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 10>and that's so important to grow up around and understand

443
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 10>and the foundation of understanding that notion that I've been

444
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 10>able to have the luxury of having that so many

445
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 10>billions that people don't have. That's why I'm proud to

446
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:27.200
<v Speaker 10>be an American. I love this country.

447
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.440
<v Speaker 2>I kind of imagine what it would be like to

448
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.440
<v Speaker 2>live in some of these other countries, whether they're right

449
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:38.720
<v Speaker 2>wing dictatorships or communist countries, or where you can't even

450
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.359
<v Speaker 2>talk openly to your neighbor or your friend because you

451
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you live in Cuba, for example, or

452
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>if you live in Venezuela. They will want to find

453
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.880
<v Speaker 2>out if you're a loyal citizen. And you know, here

454
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:58.200
<v Speaker 2>in America, with all of the controversy surrounding President Trump,

455
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 2>thank god, we have the First Amendment and people can

456
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:03.200
<v Speaker 2>get out there in protest, and many of those people

457
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.799
<v Speaker 2>don't realize that they're very The very fact of their

458
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:09.559
<v Speaker 2>protest proves the strength of the country.

459
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 10>You know, I agree, I agree, and it might not

460
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.200
<v Speaker 10>be protests I agree with, but we have the First

461
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:20.359
<v Speaker 10>Amendment give us a great right for free speech. And

462
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 10>this is a great country. And everyone who fought for

463
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:29.799
<v Speaker 10>our safety, who fought overseas, my gratitude goes out to them,

464
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:34.519
<v Speaker 10>as to you. You gett your service, and it just

465
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.880
<v Speaker 10>is a great country. And I am thankful to be

466
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:39.720
<v Speaker 10>born here. And I don't take it for granted for

467
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 10>a second.

468
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 2>You bet you, Matt. I appreciate very a great a

469
00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:46.079
<v Speaker 2>great call as always, Thanks Matt. We'll talk soon.

470
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, thank you much.

471
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.720
<v Speaker 2>So let me go to Christian up in Pbdy, Massachusetts.

472
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.200
<v Speaker 4>Christian, go right ahead, happy fourth of July week.

473
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:54.279
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

474
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm right back at you. And that this is first

475
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 2>of all, it's a great time of year. I remember

476
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:02.319
<v Speaker 2>as a kid school was out, you know, I thought

477
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:05.839
<v Speaker 2>that the summer would never end. And you know then

478
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:08.119
<v Speaker 2>then it was became labor day and you were back

479
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:08.640
<v Speaker 2>in school.

480
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 11>Kind of a It's funny how when you get older,

481
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.759
<v Speaker 11>how fast time flies from season to season. But one

482
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 11>thing that we enjoyed most about this country, it is

483
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.839
<v Speaker 11>the greatest generation that fought World War two. Yes, because

484
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:26.160
<v Speaker 11>we gave everything so we did not have to look

485
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.240
<v Speaker 11>over our shoulder. We could be whatever we had for

486
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:35.759
<v Speaker 11>purpose in life, to be educational, freedom, you know, be

487
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:39.640
<v Speaker 11>a good person, and not have to worry about the

488
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:43.599
<v Speaker 11>things that the countries have to worry about. It's just

489
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 11>to me, it's I believe that our process, regardless of

490
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 11>whatever is in charge, has a process that everybody their

491
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 11>doors understaying it's it's beginnings. And somewhere in their arts

492
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.640
<v Speaker 11>they're like, I have my version, but yeah, there's no

493
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:03.880
<v Speaker 11>better place to be on earth.

494
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And also, by the way, as much as we

495
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 2>want to criticize the founders of this country, they were

496
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:16.640
<v Speaker 2>pretty smart guys. Uh, and women and and and without

497
00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 2>their you know, their courage as well as their intellect.

498
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.920
<v Speaker 2>It was an amazing combination of courage and intellect. It's

499
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:29.200
<v Speaker 2>one thing to have people who are intellectual, but it's

500
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:34.119
<v Speaker 2>also a great gift to have people who will defend others.

501
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.519
<v Speaker 2>And you know, that's that's a part of America that

502
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think is as appreciated as maybe most of us.

503
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:47.240
<v Speaker 2>It should realize that that those men, you know, Washington

504
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 2>and Franklin, Adams and Jefferson and Monroe and Madison and

505
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.519
<v Speaker 2>and all of them, the leadership that happened to just

506
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:01.839
<v Speaker 2>be born at that particular point in time. Boy, we

507
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 2>were lucky. We were lucky. We have they are few

508
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:08.039
<v Speaker 2>and far between today as far as as far as

509
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm concerned, you know, And I'm just I were so

510
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.799
<v Speaker 2>lucky when you think about it. No, we all complained,

511
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:23.880
<v Speaker 2>we all have difficult days, and but to live here,

512
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.480
<v Speaker 2>where else would you prefer? I mean, there's nowhere else

513
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.279
<v Speaker 2>from me. And I got to tell you, when I

514
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.960
<v Speaker 2>feel it the most is when I'm coming home, particularly

515
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.000
<v Speaker 2>if I'm coming home from overseas. And I realized, Yeah,

516
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I was in Italy last summer. It was great, it

517
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Speaker 2>was fun. I was in Ireland a couple of years

518
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:45.359
<v Speaker 2>before that. It was great, it was fun. I was

519
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:54.079
<v Speaker 2>all over Europe on a couple of boat cruises. Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary,

520
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:59.519
<v Speaker 2>name it. I was there, but it's when you come

521
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.759
<v Speaker 2>home to them. You just use a feeling. You can't

522
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 2>describe it, but that's how I feel.

523
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:10.000
<v Speaker 11>I'm on the same page as you. It's just to

524
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:13.920
<v Speaker 11>me when I look at what we have, it's you

525
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.160
<v Speaker 11>can be whatever you want.

526
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 12>You can be free.

527
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:19.359
<v Speaker 11>To be yourself.

528
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there were there were people who there are

529
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.039
<v Speaker 2>people who will actively deny that, but it's an undeniable

530
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.920
<v Speaker 2>fact because there's so many people that you can be

531
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.319
<v Speaker 2>born in poverty and you can end up a billionaire.

532
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:34.519
<v Speaker 2>You can be born as a millionaire and you can

533
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:38.839
<v Speaker 2>end up in poverty too. By the way, there are

534
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.759
<v Speaker 2>those who go up and those who go down. Hey, Christian,

535
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I loved you call man. Thank you, thank you very much.

536

<v Speaker 2>We're talking about the fourth of July and are you

545
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.279
<v Speaker 2>proud to be an American? Is there somewhere else in

546
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:16.160
<v Speaker 2>the world you'd like to live? I can't think of

547
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.440
<v Speaker 2>anywhere left to know what you think. Next up, Laurie, Laurie,

548
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:21.400
<v Speaker 2>how are you today? Big day in Idaho?

549
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:26.599
<v Speaker 8>Huh yeah, yep. That was a really interesting hearing.

550
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:29.640
<v Speaker 2>What made it interesting? I didn't get a chance to

551
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.680
<v Speaker 2>watch it. He will. Guy had a weird demeanor, didn't he.

552
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:37.000
<v Speaker 8>The judge or Colberg?

553
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Colberg, okay, well, day one.

554
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:43.680
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, he's a weirdo. He's well he was being told

555
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:45.799
<v Speaker 8>exactly what to say and don't screw it up. And

556
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:47.440
<v Speaker 8>you can see he at the laptop in front of him,

557
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:50.079
<v Speaker 8>and she was showing him everything he needed to see

558
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 8>you pretty much?

559
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 5>Ye.

560
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. When they asked him me, did you do this? Yes?

561
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Ye?

562
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:59.119
<v Speaker 8>Are you guilty of premeditated human being?

563
00:31:59.160 --> 00:31:59.359
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

564
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:01.799
<v Speaker 8>The guy had a million quite the judge and a

565
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.240
<v Speaker 8>million questions. He went in and around to satisfy himself

566
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.599
<v Speaker 8>that he wasn't being coercid, this is what he really

567
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 8>meant to do, and all sort of stuff. But the

568
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 8>judge opened with what we were kind of talking about

569
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:14.599
<v Speaker 8>the other night a little bit, Yeah, sort of with

570
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 8>very strong words to the folks who had been inundating

571
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 8>his office with phone calls and letters. Did you hear that?

572
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I did?

573
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:26.599
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, And then he said I passed them off to

574
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:30.000
<v Speaker 8>the security or to the law enforcement, whichever was necessary.

575
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, but I also thought that he's a little tone

576
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:35.240
<v Speaker 2>deaf there. Okay, if you can't take the heat, judge,

577
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:37.319
<v Speaker 2>why don't you step off the bench and let someone

578
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 2>else take this. Yeah, it's a big case. People have

579
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:40.720
<v Speaker 2>a right now.

580
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 8>Dis impressed with him?

581
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, Yeah, he's the most important guy

582
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.559
<v Speaker 2>in the room and he's not going to be influenced

583
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:49.960
<v Speaker 2>by anybody. And I just got I have no idea

584
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 2>anything about his background, but I suspect if I looked

585
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:56.200
<v Speaker 2>at his background pretty closely, I wouldn't like it very much.

586
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 8>Now, I wasn't really that impressed with the state that

587
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 8>prusp either either, But yeah, it was.

588
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.400
<v Speaker 4>It was odd.

589
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.119
<v Speaker 8>But now we wait till the twenty third. So anyway,

590
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.960
<v Speaker 8>I love my country. I'm proud to be American. I

591
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:12.240
<v Speaker 8>love the flag, and I could echo everything else that

592
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.440
<v Speaker 8>the veil says, but one of the things I absolutely

593
00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:18.359
<v Speaker 8>love is that from seventeen seventy six, till today, we've

594
00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:21.720
<v Speaker 8>had only one government with some tweaks here and there,

595
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 8>which is pretty cool, very cool. Fundamental government, fund fundamental,

596
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 8>and we celebrate the heck out of it every year.

597
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely. I it's frustrating because it's so easy when

598
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.640
<v Speaker 2>something goes wrong that everybody wants to pick apart. It's

599
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.839
<v Speaker 2>almost like a family. No family is perfect. I've never

600
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:48.920
<v Speaker 2>known a perfect family, and I guess there's never a

601
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.319
<v Speaker 2>perfect country. Maybe maybe North Korea is a perfect country.

602
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 2>If you want to make sure that you can't say anything,

603
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:57.960
<v Speaker 2>you've got to be perfectly quiet, and you have to

604
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 2>be perfectly submissive, and you have to perfectly you know.

605
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:04.519
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they'd last about two days there.

606
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, oh really. Yeah, you have to wear the

607
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:11.239
<v Speaker 2>same type clothes, you have to salute the emperor and

608
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.039
<v Speaker 2>all of that. There's none of that here, that's for sure.

609
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:18.159
<v Speaker 8>We haven't changed governments. We haven't had coops or anything

610
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:18.480
<v Speaker 8>like that.

611
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:22.920
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, no, right, although some people will think that

612
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:26.159
<v Speaker 2>there were those who were little concerned. Anyway, Hey, Laurie

613
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:28.639
<v Speaker 2>is always thank you so much. We'll talk again, Okay,

614
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 2>thank you, good night, love her calls. Okay, next up,

615
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Jim rather Tim excuse me, Tim and Winthrop. Tim, next nights,

616
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:39.559
<v Speaker 2>I go ahead.

617
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:43.239
<v Speaker 1>I can just got two things to say. Sure, I reflect.

618
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:49.280
<v Speaker 1>The other gentleman said, God blessed Donald Trump and our president,

619
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.039
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to hell of a job. And the

620
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:56.320
<v Speaker 1>other thing to say is more important. Benjamin Franklin once

621
00:34:56.360 --> 00:35:01.079
<v Speaker 1>said that freedom is a great thing. You can keep it.

622
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:02.519
<v Speaker 1>That's what he said.

623
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:04.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I understand that, but but that's not neither of

624
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>those the issues tonight, Tim, The issue is are you're

625
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:07.840
<v Speaker 2>proud of the country.

626
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm proud of the country.

627
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Was irrespective of who the president is.

628
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't too proud last year, right.

629
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:19.159
<v Speaker 2>But what I'm saying is it's it's it's easy to

630
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>be proud of America if the president is like you

631
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:27.280
<v Speaker 2>voted for. It's more difficult to be proud of America

632
00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:29.559
<v Speaker 2>when you're on the losing end. That's all I'm trying

633
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.199
<v Speaker 2>to say. And I was hoping to get more people.

634
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, I expect the Trump people would be pretty

635
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:34.639
<v Speaker 2>happy right now.

636
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Make America be happy.

637
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.360
<v Speaker 2>But I want it. But but I want to hear

638
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:40.400
<v Speaker 2>from people on both.

639
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Reagan's still my Favorite's.

640
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:43.719
<v Speaker 2>All right, right?

641
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:44.039
<v Speaker 3>Thanks?

642
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Tim, appreciate your call very much. I have a

643
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:49.400
<v Speaker 2>great night. Good night. Let me go. Okay, we're going

644
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.679
<v Speaker 2>to go to Daryl in New Brunswick. Daryl, you can

645
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.239
<v Speaker 2>tell me you're proud of Canada as well, or you

646
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:57.159
<v Speaker 2>can tell me you're proud of America, whichever you like.

647
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:01.360
<v Speaker 13>Daryl, I'm proud of both because my grandfather's mother was

648
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:05.800
<v Speaker 13>from northern Michigan. All right, we're talking, but that goes

649
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 13>back to the whole point. Is you mentioned being overseas

650
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.639
<v Speaker 13>Italy and Europe and whatnot, and even when you're in Africa,

651
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.920
<v Speaker 13>different places of the world, Caribbean. The best thing about

652
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:24.719
<v Speaker 13>coming home. I grew up on the Ontario Michigan border, say,

653
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:30.000
<v Speaker 13>ten football fields away from the US. And the nice

654
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:32.519
<v Speaker 13>thing is we could actually go to the US with

655
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.800
<v Speaker 13>a driver's license, but we can actually coming back from overseas,

656
00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 13>we could go to a drive through or the burger

657
00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:45.119
<v Speaker 13>joint with the old hot rod. You know what I'm saying.

658
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:49.000
<v Speaker 2>How that relates to what we're talking about tonight. So

659
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.039
<v Speaker 2>you can drive over and get a burger in America

660
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.119
<v Speaker 2>and drive back, right, is that what you're telling me?

661
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:57.639
<v Speaker 13>Well, we grew up about forty five minutes from Detroit.

662
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:02.079
<v Speaker 13>So dearborn Michigan actually has the big, biggest hot rod

663
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:03.559
<v Speaker 13>run every year.

664
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:05.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, that's a good thing to be proud of,

665
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>even even if you are technically live on the other

666
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:12.760
<v Speaker 2>side of the demarcation line.

667
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.440
<v Speaker 13>But at the same time, we grew up on the river,

668
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.480
<v Speaker 13>Saint Clair River, and we get fireworks on the first

669
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:20.679
<v Speaker 13>and the fourth of July.

670
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Now you're talking, Now you're talking. That's a good thing too, Daryl.

671
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I got a two or three other folks. They got

672
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:30.920
<v Speaker 2>to sneak in here. Great to hear your voice. Happy

673
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:33.519
<v Speaker 2>fourth of July. I know you don't celebrate it up there,

674
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:35.760
<v Speaker 2>but you're gonna have a Fourth of July, just like

675
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.760
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have a third and the fifth of July.

676
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:41.280
<v Speaker 13>Okay, Hey, we're gonna have one of those days every

677
00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:42.639
<v Speaker 13>year until that stops.

678
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, Thanks, Daryl. I appreciate it. All right, We're gonna

679
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:47.800
<v Speaker 2>go down real quick. Jim, I got you in. You

680
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:50.960
<v Speaker 2>called late. Are you proud to be in America?

681
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:55.360
<v Speaker 12>Dan? Yes, I am. I just want to say it's

682
00:37:55.360 --> 00:38:00.320
<v Speaker 12>not Thanksgiving, okay, it's fourth of July. It's about telling

683
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:03.079
<v Speaker 12>you and I'm not saying everybody should be a rebel

684
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:05.519
<v Speaker 12>every day, but you should have that rebel spirit in

685
00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:08.400
<v Speaker 12>you that you just don't necessarily don't drink the kool aid.

686
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:09.920
<v Speaker 12>All right, taking that call?

687
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Thanks by, Thanks, Thanks Jim. And I know you're a rebel.

688

<v Speaker 2>You've proven it to me. Darlene in Watertown, Hi, Darlene,
