Speaker 1: It's nice eyes, Dan Ray, I'm going razy Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much. As we move into
Speaker 2: the eleven o'clock our one subject that we haven't hit
Speaker 2: this week is the dust up that is going on
Speaker 2: between the presidential candidates and including the Biden administration on
Speaker 2: what has been going on with Helene and Milton. Now,
Speaker 2: I have watched this as carefully as I can, but
Speaker 2: I suspect I suspect some of you probably have watched
Speaker 2: it more carefully than me, And there's been a little
Speaker 2: bit of a firefight going on between the candidates as
Speaker 2: to whether or not the Biden administration has done a
Speaker 2: great job on either of both of these storms. So
Speaker 2: the jury is certainly still out on Milton, which just
Speaker 2: was hitting Florida this time last night. But there's some
Speaker 2: other questions about whether or not the Biden administration and
Speaker 2: has done a great job in North Carolina specifically both
Speaker 2: of these storms. Interestingly enough, all the experts said, okay,
Speaker 2: you know, Helene's going to be a horrific storm, and
Speaker 2: then they came along and they said that Milton is
Speaker 2: going to be worse than Helene. And by all the
Speaker 2: various gradations by all the measurements that the tidal surge
Speaker 2: of Helene was five to seven feet and Milton's going
Speaker 2: to be ten to twelve feet or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: And it looks to me, at least as I watch,
Speaker 2: and I try to watch as many various newscast during
Speaker 2: the day as I can, that Milton, although it certainly
Speaker 2: did a lot of damage. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: saw that video of a Tropicana Field where the Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay Rays have their home field, there's been If you're
Speaker 2: a sports fan, you know there's always been a lot
Speaker 2: of concern about the way that ballpark has been constructed.
Speaker 2: They have some some steel beams going across the ceiling
Speaker 2: of the ballpark, and sometimes players would hit baseballs and
Speaker 2: actually even in fair territory, which would hit one of
Speaker 2: the beams and instead of following the normal arc of
Speaker 2: a fly ball, it would end up hitting one of
Speaker 2: the beams and drop straight down. And they have all
Speaker 2: sorts of specific ground rules. Doesn't happen often, but it
Speaker 2: happens well enough often enough, so they do have ground rules.
Speaker 2: But did you see the picture of the roof of
Speaker 2: the stadium. It's a covered dome. It's a dome stadium,
Speaker 2: the Tropic Cana Dome, and the dome is just ripped off.
Speaker 2: So as we listened to some of the some of
Speaker 2: the politicians making their comments. For example, President Biden has
Speaker 2: been very proud of how he has handled and how
Speaker 2: his team has handled the response, specifically to Helene. And
Speaker 2: this is what he had to say. I'm going to
Speaker 2: have Dan or Rob who's ever in charge here play
Speaker 2: for me? Cut one bee. This is President Biden yesterday.
Speaker 2: For the last week I was.
Speaker 3: For the last week. My team has done everything possible
Speaker 3: to pay for the storm.
Speaker 2: Let me finish immediately.
Speaker 3: Approved emergency decorations in Florida and a seminole tribe in Florida.
Speaker 3: I also served search and rescue teams, water, food, power generators,
Speaker 3: ambulances to the region in my direction. Administrator Chris Well
Speaker 3: will be in the state Emergency Operations Center in Florida tonight.
Speaker 3: And Kamala and I are You're going to keep pressure
Speaker 3: around the company so prices stay stable on gasoline, flights
Speaker 3: and goods people need.
Speaker 2: President and Florida Governor DeSantis. The Vice president was upset
Speaker 2: that apparently Governor DeSantis had not taken some of her
Speaker 2: phone call and DeSantis basically said that he was dealing
Speaker 2: with the president, he didn't have to deal with the
Speaker 2: vice president. So this is well, this is DeSantis basically
Speaker 2: criticizing Vice President Harris. She sort of, I think, made
Speaker 2: the first comments that DeSantis had been uncooperative with her,
Speaker 2: And this is what Governor Desanta said in cut number ten.
Speaker 4: I heard what she said about Vice President Harris and
Speaker 4: the phone call.
Speaker 2: Did she ever get through you know, Brett?
Speaker 5: Like I said, my job is to marshal resources and
Speaker 5: work with everybody to have an effective response, and she
Speaker 5: thinks it should be about her. If I honestly thought
Speaker 5: that there was something to be gained, I would pick
Speaker 5: up the phone and call her. The fact of the
Speaker 5: matter is she has no role in this process. She's
Speaker 5: not part of the chain of command. I am working
Speaker 5: with President Biden and FEMA and our state and local partners,
Speaker 5: and we're getting the job done. She has never been
Speaker 5: interested in any of the storms we've had in the
Speaker 5: state of Florida for entire time as Vice president. Now
Speaker 5: she's out there attacking me because I'm not catering to
Speaker 5: her whims. All she's trying to do is inject herself
Speaker 5: to be a part of her political campaign. I don't
Speaker 5: have time for political games. We've got a job to do.
Speaker 5: We got people's lives on the line, and that is
Speaker 5: our sole focus.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: The President was asked about this by a reporter at
Speaker 2: the White House, and the President seemed seemed to support
Speaker 2: Desantus in this fight, which is particularly interesting, and that
Speaker 2: the vice president is involved in a presidential campaign to
Speaker 2: succeed President Biden. This is cut number three, Mister President.
Speaker 3: Does Governor de Santas need to take Vice President Paris's calls?
Speaker 2: Paul? I can tell you is that I'm talking to
Speaker 2: Government Santis.
Speaker 3: He's been very gracious, She's thank me for always done.
Speaker 7: He knows what we're doing.
Speaker 3: And I think, can you say that Florida has everything
Speaker 3: it needs for the storm?
Speaker 2: How is your call with nesson Yahu today?
Speaker 3: I didn't talk about the storm?
Speaker 2: So interesting. Interesting, President Biden in the dust up, and
Speaker 2: I think it's no more than a dust up between
Speaker 2: the vice president. Again within four weeks now of the
Speaker 2: election and Governor DeSantis seemed to support Governor DeSantis And
Speaker 2: from a sort of from a political intrigue point of view,
Speaker 2: that seems to be a little discordant with what I
Speaker 2: would assume the President would do. I would think that
Speaker 2: he would he could have said that, you know, DeSantis
Speaker 2: was gracious and cooperative as he as I think he implied,
Speaker 2: and I actually said he was gracious. But I would
Speaker 2: have expected the President to have said something similar about
Speaker 2: the Vice president, that the vice president is working very
Speaker 2: closely with us here at the White House, and she's
Speaker 2: in constant contact or whatever, constant communication and has been
Speaker 2: a very supportive I just felt it was an odd
Speaker 2: comment by the president, or a lack of comment by
Speaker 2: the president. And my instinct tells me that maybe the
Speaker 2: relationship between the current president, the vice president, the vice
Speaker 2: president who wants to be the future president maybe is
Speaker 2: a little cooler than we were led to believe. It
Speaker 2: just seems to me that that comment by President Biden
Speaker 2: was lacking in terms of a kind word about Vice
Speaker 2: President Harris. So I'm going to throw that open to you.
Speaker 2: What sort of impact do you think these two storms
Speaker 2: will have on the presidential election? Again, the election is
Speaker 2: less than four weeks away. I'm assuming that it's going
Speaker 2: to be difficult for some of these folks to get
Speaker 2: themselves pulled together, and maybe be prepared to vote, certainly
Speaker 2: if they had mail in ballots at home, those mail
Speaker 2: in ballots probably have been destroyed, as many of their
Speaker 2: homes have been as well. So whether has played a
Speaker 2: role in presidential elections, I think the one that had
Speaker 2: played probably the most significant role that I can think
Speaker 2: of lately was in twenty twelve Superstorm the and d
Speaker 2: Then New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was very happy, as
Speaker 2: he should have should have been as a governor, very
Speaker 2: happy to see then President Obama arrive in New Jersey
Speaker 2: in the wake of that storm. And many people felt
Speaker 2: that Chris Christy probably hurt the Romney campaign. I think
Speaker 2: the Romney campaign had hurt themselves badly before that. That's
Speaker 2: one thing I would give Christy a pass on. But
Speaker 2: how else would you expect a governor to greet a
Speaker 2: president when his state and his people were dealing with
Speaker 2: a major hurricane. So I don't know if this is
Speaker 2: any sort of a signal from President Biden that he's
Speaker 2: not happy with the consequences of him leaving the race,
Speaker 2: or better yet, being forced out of the race. Because
Speaker 2: I think he was forced out of the race, I
Speaker 2: assumed that it wasn't Vice President Harris who did that
Speaker 2: behind the scenes work. I know that it was Nancy
Speaker 2: Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and we know all the story.
Speaker 2: They felt that Joe Biden couldn't win the White House
Speaker 2: in the wake of the debate in June in which
Speaker 2: he had had a rough night, and there's no doubt
Speaker 2: about that. But I just would love to know. I
Speaker 2: find it a little intriguing and I'd love to know
Speaker 2: what you think. Six one, seven, two, five, four to
Speaker 2: ten thirty. Those lines are fall six one seven, nine,
Speaker 2: three to one ten thirty. Be right back on knights.
Speaker 2: I filled these lines up and we can talk a
Speaker 2: little politics here on a Thursday night at eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2: This race is now less than four weeks away. The election,
Speaker 2: I should say, is less than four weeks away. And
Speaker 2: I'd love to know if you feel that the ground
Speaker 2: is shifting in any direction, or just feel free to
Speaker 2: to pick up on the impact that these storms, two
Speaker 2: big storms may have on states like Florida, North Carolina, Georgia,
Speaker 2: South Carolina, Tennessee, that southeastern quadrant of the United States.
Speaker 2: My name is Dan Ray. This is Nightside. Will be
Speaker 2: right back.
Speaker 1: Give us a call now back to Dan ray Lie
Speaker 1: from the Window World Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: I also particularly tonight one to express our concern, the
Speaker 2: Nightside team's concern for everyone in the path of either
Speaker 2: one of these storms. It seems to me unfair that
Speaker 2: you have two of these. I think it's unfair that
Speaker 2: you have one of them, but particularly unfair that you
Speaker 2: have two of them back to back. And if you
Speaker 2: happen to be listening tonight in Florida or Georgia, or
Speaker 2: North or South Carolina or Tennessee, uh, and you're able
Speaker 2: to give us some indication as to one what the
Speaker 2: circumstances are like on the ground. And obviously, the worst
Speaker 2: the storm hit your neighborhood, the less likely that you're listening.
Speaker 2: But if you are, we'll put you to the top
Speaker 2: of the call list, that's for sure. And I'd also
Speaker 2: love to know are you satisfied with the response? And
Speaker 2: if you are listening tonight, have you had enough response? Obviously, people,
Speaker 2: it depends upon where you are, and there are some
Speaker 2: places which will not recover for weeks or months. There
Speaker 2: are some places where recovery may be simpler. But I'd
Speaker 2: just love to hear from anyone out there who is
Speaker 2: within the storm area, and the number is six one, seven, nine,
Speaker 2: ten thirties. So we can almost leave those those lines
Speaker 2: open if you will like. At six one, let me
Speaker 2: go to John up in he Hipton Beach, New Hampshire. John,
Speaker 2: welcome back. How are you serving?
Speaker 6: I'm doing fine? Man on mutual friend of ours Mark
Speaker 6: who used to call you from New Hampshire and I
Speaker 6: was in Punta in Florida. I know that, Yeah, Texa.
Speaker 6: He texted me today. He lost his car, his boat's,
Speaker 6: his boats survived, he survived. He's probably looking at possibly
Speaker 6: five thousand dollars in damage a churn swoln cover. But
Speaker 6: he uh, he did it through it. I toil with
Speaker 6: the idea of voting for Governor DeSantis several months ago
Speaker 6: when he was obviously in the running. I ended up
Speaker 6: staying with mister Trump. But I don't think words can
Speaker 6: adequately adequately just express my admiration at the efficiency that
Speaker 6: this gentleman has done and back to back disasters. He
Speaker 6: is a man in the moment he gets the job done.
Speaker 6: I remember, Heck are two thousand and eight ice storm
Speaker 6: in New Hampshire when I lived in Newmarket, we were
Speaker 6: without power for five days, and yet he's now taken
Speaker 6: on two direct hits to a state millions of people,
Speaker 6: not New Hampshire numbers, and he's got the power back on.
Speaker 6: I am deeply disturbed for a lot of reasons. But
Speaker 6: regarding your specific topic, Dan, that you know Kamala Harris
Speaker 6: would inject herself into this discussion. Governor de Santas at
Speaker 6: the nail on the head. She's a vice president. She
Speaker 6: has no specific role in this, whether you know, come
Speaker 6: hither or whatever, So she's the one playing politics. It
Speaker 6: is the height of hutzbut in audacity for her to
Speaker 6: even mention otherwise, she's obviously not competent. I'm starting to
Speaker 6: get the idea, Dan, that is the proverbial question was
Speaker 6: prose to her? Who's buried in Grant's tomb? She would
Speaker 6: struggle with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me just say, if I can for a second,
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of Governor DeSantis. I've had him on
Speaker 2: my show this year twice, and I felt that frankly,
Speaker 2: and I still question whether or not Donald Trump can
Speaker 2: win a national election. I think the fact that it's
Speaker 2: this close at this point, when all of the issues
Speaker 2: are I think should be trending towards the Republican may
Speaker 2: suggest that he is not capable of winning a national election.
Speaker 2: I've never had Donald Trump on my show, and I've
Speaker 2: never invited Donald Trump on my show, but I did
Speaker 2: have Ron DeSantis on twice, and I found it to
Speaker 2: be very engaging. We talked sports as well as politics,
Speaker 2: and I had seen him function previously in storms down
Speaker 2: in Florida and was always impressed, and I was impressed today.
Speaker 2: He's all business. He gets out there. He wants people
Speaker 2: to know what's going on. I would love if he
Speaker 2: was the governor Massachusetts, and because I would, I would
Speaker 2: feel very confident that he has shown. Now maybe Governor
Speaker 2: Healey when we hit a big snowstorm next winter, she'll
Speaker 2: do a great job. But we haven't had during Governor
Speaker 2: Healey's term a weather issue of any magnitude. But I
Speaker 2: know that Governor DeSantis would handle it and handle it
Speaker 2: well and with a plumbs as he has. So I
Speaker 2: join you. And it's too bad that more Republicans didn't
Speaker 2: take a closer look at him, not only as a
Speaker 2: potential nominee, but as their potential nominee in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: because I think at this point, if DeSantis was the
Speaker 2: national nominee, I think this race would not even be close.
Speaker 6: I believe he'll know, regardless of who wins, in the
Speaker 6: White House in a few weeks. I think he's poised
Speaker 6: to be twenty twenty eight regardless. To answer, also to
Speaker 6: address before I go to address your question, you alluded
Speaker 6: to it before the think about about Biden again, there's
Speaker 6: no one who has the least less less respect for
Speaker 6: his ability to do the job than I do. And
Speaker 6: I know I stand with millions, but I believe what's
Speaker 6: playing out is whatever which Biden has still in him.
Speaker 6: He's got to be bent that we did not act
Speaker 6: like Americans when he did win the primary, the elect
Speaker 6: the electors were in his box, and yet behind the
Speaker 6: scenes so flagrantly, so obnoxiously, and we all know there's
Speaker 6: no secret that o'biden did not, did not and does
Speaker 6: not care for Biden. He's got to be in the
Speaker 6: White House again with whatever he has left mentally, with
Speaker 6: mental acuity and rightfully so, he's got to be bent
Speaker 6: that he's, you know, a dead man walking because the
Speaker 6: job was literally taken from him. I'm sure he has
Speaker 6: to these and despise you know Tamlo, because I know
Speaker 6: that he would.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you, John, I don't know
Speaker 2: that he would have that feeling to us her because
Speaker 2: I don't think she was part of the Palace coop.
Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like I'm defending Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: I don't think she was part of the Palace coup.
Speaker 2: She may have been the beneficiary of the Palace coup,
Speaker 2: but I think the Palace coup was Pelosi, Schumer and
Speaker 2: maybe Biden behind the scenes, I mean to be real
Speaker 2: honest with you, and maybe President President Obama. Behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: Maybe President Obama thought to himself, hey, look, I had
Speaker 2: two terms. This guy just had a debate that showed
Speaker 2: that he's very vulnerable in November, and I want I
Speaker 2: don't think he can get two terms. You know, maybe
Speaker 2: that's what he was thinking.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not looking to ascribe ulterior motives to anyone, and
Speaker 2: certainly not the vice president. But it could be now
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden does think, you know what, I could
Speaker 2: have won this race. I could have won this race
Speaker 2: and now being asked to step aside, and I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be a bit surprised if if Joe Biden had Joe
Speaker 2: Biden was saying to him, we never should have got out.
Speaker 2: But I think the pressure on him was immense to
Speaker 2: get out.
Speaker 6: I have to to wrap this up, Dan, I would
Speaker 6: respectfully disagree with you. I don't believe I don't believe
Speaker 6: there's any chance in hell that whoever there is, it's nefarious.
Speaker 6: It's a subterfusion. Never we're never gonna know who actually
Speaker 6: was doing the machinations behind you know, the curtain. But
Speaker 6: I find it hard.
Speaker 2: To Schumer is who it was. Believe me it was
Speaker 2: Pelosian Schumer.
Speaker 6: All right, even if I sign off on that, I'll
Speaker 6: sign off on that, Dan. You know, but my point
Speaker 6: was going to be, there's no way that these individuals,
Speaker 6: whether it's Pelosi and Schumer or somebody else or conglomerate,
Speaker 6: would have would have put it in motion without first
Speaker 6: asking the person that they were gonna hand pick, going hey,
Speaker 6: we're gonna do this. You are going to sign off
Speaker 6: on it, and you will take it when we give
Speaker 6: it to you. Can you imagine the nightmare if again
Speaker 6: take come out of the equation, mister mister z X.
Speaker 6: They did what they did, then they went to the candidate,
Speaker 6: and they said, you know what, I'm not confident. I'm
Speaker 6: not comfortable doing that. I don't think you should have
Speaker 6: done it to the guy. I'll wait my turn in
Speaker 6: twenty eight. So I really think and.
Speaker 2: Again, maybe a big a person, uh, you know, a
Speaker 2: person with more integrity might have done might have said that,
Speaker 2: might have said, Hey, he picked me as vice president.
Speaker 2: I was on the political scrap heap and he resurrected
Speaker 2: my career. I owe it to him not to be
Speaker 2: the person that steps in that sound. That's a pretty
Speaker 2: good point. I'll give you that.
Speaker 6: Okay, fair enough, Dan, Hey, and't closing.
Speaker 2: You know. P. T.
Speaker 6: Barnum had a great quote, no one everyone broke under
Speaker 6: estimating the ignorant city American people. And I'm going to
Speaker 6: turn sixty in two weeks. So I've been around, I've voted,
Speaker 6: I've lived this life in this country. I have had
Speaker 6: reasonable disagreements with the Democratic Party. That's the way this
Speaker 6: country is. I'm a Republican. I feel this way. You're
Speaker 6: a Democratic feel that way. It's not that way anymore, Dan.
Speaker 6: And this is what I mean when someone who backs
Speaker 6: up the most ridiculous policies as funding for transgender inmates,
Speaker 6: you know, for housing illegal immigrants when their first priority
Speaker 6: is an American Native people and getting the money funneled
Speaker 6: to them sooner rather than later. Then we just don't
Speaker 6: have a policy disagreement, Dan, we have a disagreement over
Speaker 6: who are you as a human being? And at the
Speaker 6: end of the day, what do you really want for
Speaker 6: this country? Do you really have the country's best interest
Speaker 6: at heart? Because my humble opinion, again closing, you can't
Speaker 6: espouse what she has brought forth and say you have
Speaker 6: America in its best interest. Back in the day, Kennedy, Nixon, LBJ,
Speaker 6: whatever they disagreed, I got that that's what makes politics great.
Speaker 6: It was that I want best for the country, and
Speaker 6: I think if we do it this point.
Speaker 2: But John, look, look, John, we've gone on along here.
Speaker 2: You can make You've made a good political speech. But
Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is that the polls right now,
Speaker 2: and maybe the polls will be wrong, show this as
Speaker 2: a very tight race that will be decided by a
Speaker 2: few voters in any of seven states. And always give
Speaker 2: the possibility that the other person is not a bad person.
Speaker 2: They just see things differently than you see them. That's
Speaker 2: all I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Quite well taken. I'm gonna let you go. Hey, I
Speaker 6: made a promise to Mark what he texted me, I
Speaker 6: extend his hello to you. He's doing well, he said.
Speaker 6: When he gets back on his feet, he'd love to
Speaker 6: call you and tell him about his horrific experiences under Florida.
Speaker 6: And to wrap this up, definitely, Since I've turning sixty
Speaker 6: October twenty ninth, I've enjoyed listening to you. I'll continue
Speaker 6: listening to you. I want to bring my sixtieth year
Speaker 6: into this great land of ours listening to a guy
Speaker 6: like you, Dan, So all the best you take care, Thanks, I.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it right back at you. Give our best to
Speaker 2: Mark too as well. Okay, good night. Here comes the
Speaker 2: eleven thirty news right here on nightside. We will get
Speaker 2: more phone calls between now and eleven and you can
Speaker 2: see it's kind of a political hour, but it's also
Speaker 2: one hour that talks about a little bit of the
Speaker 2: infighting within the Democratic Party. And I'm just was I've
Speaker 2: found the comments by the president to be curious. Maybe
Speaker 2: you didn't straighten me out. If you like this one
Speaker 2: line open it is six, one, seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 2: ten thirty we'll be right back on Nightside after the
Speaker 2: news break.
Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Bzy Boston's
Speaker 1: News Radio.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's keep rolling here, going back to the calls
Speaker 2: we're going to go to in Edinborough, Eric next to
Speaker 2: nice right ahead.
Speaker 4: Hey, Dan, thank you for taking my call. I just
Speaker 4: wanted to uh point out something I think that's important.
Speaker 4: So when you mentioned kind of you know, with Kamala Harris, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, wanting to make the phone calls to Ron
Speaker 4: de Santez, by all means maybe you know, deep down
Speaker 4: the side she does as a genuine concern and so
Speaker 4: on and so forth, and she wanted to do the
Speaker 4: courteous thing. But I mean all of her well, anecdotally
Speaker 4: from my perspective, all of her political actions are out
Speaker 4: of kind of misplaced. I'll give you an example. If
Speaker 4: you look back August twenty twenty one, she was in Vietnam,
Speaker 4: you know, as a you know, traveling on you know,
Speaker 4: on behalf of the United States, and she actually laid
Speaker 4: flowers and took pictures near a memorial that was erected
Speaker 4: in honor of the the to me is that shot
Speaker 4: down John McCain's plane. So she has not a good look.
Speaker 2: That wasn't a good look. I don't recall that. But
Speaker 2: if that's true, that's like being in the anti aircraft
Speaker 2: seated the anti aircraft gun.
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, no, this certainly was most absolutely happened. I mean,
Speaker 4: if you go, if I believe, I'm.
Speaker 2: Not disputing you, I'm not disputing. I'm just saying it
Speaker 2: would look.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not a good look. I think, you know,
Speaker 4: I've paid attention to to the you know, to American politics,
Speaker 4: you know, in that regard. I mean, and she's kind
Speaker 4: of been out of sight, out of mind, you know,
Speaker 4: as vice president. I mean, I mean there's been a
Speaker 4: lot of you know, her name has not been associated
Speaker 4: with a lot of the things that have you know,
Speaker 4: occurred in the under the Bidens administration. But for her
Speaker 4: to just emerge, it's so it's so inorganic and obvious.
Speaker 4: And and I mean even when she was speaking to
Speaker 4: Stephen Colbert the other night and also on some Milk
Speaker 4: Toast you know, left leaning you know, you know, political podcast.
Speaker 2: She did, Yeah, she did. She did. Stephen Colbert, who
Speaker 2: I think is probably the dullest man on television. She did.
Speaker 4: I agree with that, but he but but he is
Speaker 4: the man that has that slot on television.
Speaker 2: So no, no, no, absolutely, it's it's not a number
Speaker 2: one slot, but but it's it's his slot. And then
Speaker 2: I'll be finished. Give me finish, Eric if I could.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to cut you off, man, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to cut you off. You know my style. Okay.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say she also did an interview
Speaker 2: with Howard Stern, and she was under view. I mean
Speaker 2: she was not going to get any tough questions from
Speaker 2: any of those individuals. Okay, I mean she was on
Speaker 2: with she was on with Colbert. Yet let me let
Speaker 2: me play one just to back up what you're saying. Okay,
Speaker 2: here we go. This is cut number fifteen yesterday. This
Speaker 2: is Come on Harris with Stephen Colbert, the dullest man
Speaker 2: on nighttime television. One of the old saws is they
Speaker 2: just want somebody they can have a beer with.
Speaker 6: So would you like to have a beer with me?
Speaker 4: So I can tell people what that's like.
Speaker 9: Okay, this was now we asked ahead of time because
Speaker 9: I can't just.
Speaker 4: Be given a drink to the vice president.
Speaker 2: I says, as you asked for Miller highlight.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious Okay, the last time I had beer
Speaker 1: was at a baseball game with Dougs.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's like the beautiful city of Milwaukee.
Speaker 9: There you go.
Speaker 2: So, boy, if that won't make her make you vote
Speaker 2: for Kamala Harris, I don't know what will.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 4: Also, yeah, especially considering that purportedly she's supposed she's supposed
Speaker 4: to be in the according to her, you know, if
Speaker 4: you take a look at her senate when she was
Speaker 4: campaigning where she senator, she she kind of campaigned on
Speaker 4: that note that she was in recovery. So I mean
Speaker 4: people that are in recovery from substance abuse.
Speaker 2: Recovery from what. I never heard that recovery from what.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: She's in recovery from cocaine and alcohol abuse. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's pretty much I.
Speaker 2: Never heard that. I Again, that's what I'm going to challenge.
Speaker 2: I think I think I would have heard that one,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you.
Speaker 4: No, if you take a no, take a close look
Speaker 4: at at when she was run, you know, as running
Speaker 4: you know, a local level as a senator.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, Eric, that one is. That one's
Speaker 2: below the belt. So I'm just going to challenge it
Speaker 2: I'm not going to fight John, And if you want
Speaker 2: to keep talking about it, I'm going to move on.
Speaker 2: What nobody else do you want to say?
Speaker 4: No, No, I just I just want to say that,
Speaker 4: you know, it's just so, it is blatantly, it's it's
Speaker 4: it's just a it's you know, an ill placed opportunity,
Speaker 4: you know for someone she made a very ill placed attempt,
Speaker 4: you know, obviously, you know, opportunistic attempt at trying to
Speaker 4: get her name associated with something to do with like
Speaker 4: the recovery of efforts in Florida based on a hurricane.
Speaker 4: And and really that's that's that's.
Speaker 2: Something we could that's something we can, we can agree upon. Eric,
Speaker 2: I got to run here where I got the phone
Speaker 2: lines of backed up. I'm sorry. I appreciate your call,
Speaker 2: but I've never heard anything about her being in any
Speaker 2: sort of recovery, never heard it at all. Thanks, good night.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Will in Long Island.
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Will, Hey, Dan, So, I think Kamala Harris
Speaker 9: and it's not just all democrats I say this about,
Speaker 9: but her in particular. She is, in my opinion, okay,
Speaker 9: just a despicable opportunists.
Speaker 4: And I've always.
Speaker 2: Thoughts you're not going to vote for her, if can
Speaker 2: I make that again?
Speaker 9: You know I'm not voting for her. But when she
Speaker 9: was called up on the District Court of uh for
Speaker 9: for putting Lion informants on the stand during Johnny Backer trial,
Speaker 9: everything she has done, you know, going out and putting
Speaker 9: people in jail for smoking marijuana, and then going out
Speaker 9: and saying she bought pot from Snoop Dogg and all,
Speaker 9: just everything she does. She is just a despicable opportunist. Okay,
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 2: Your characterization that I will let in, but I'm not
Speaker 2: going to let in that she's in some sort of recovery.
Speaker 9: I don't know recovery. I'm not going to talk I'm
Speaker 9: not going to talk about her relationships that people talk about.
Speaker 4: I don't even have to go to those jases.
Speaker 9: I can use well documented flip flops and policy positions
Speaker 9: and just everything that she has gone back and forth
Speaker 9: on because this is the type of person she is.
Speaker 9: And now here you're out there, you're bashing Governor DeSantis
Speaker 9: during what has to be absolute mayhem for this guy. Okay,
Speaker 9: two catastrophes, millions of people suffering, and you're out there
Speaker 9: asking him on the view, and you're just just an awful,
Speaker 9: despicable human being. And it's just showing through. And if
Speaker 9: this doesn't play out, if the American people can't see this,
Speaker 9: she wants a phone call from DeSantis for what so
Speaker 9: you can help him mess the state up like you
Speaker 9: help mess up the border.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's okay. End of the speech. Here's my question,
Speaker 2: will Okay, My question is if she's such a bad candidate,
Speaker 2: if she is so clearly disingenuous as you suggest. We
Speaker 2: all know that when she was a senator from California
Speaker 2: running for the White House, she was opposed to fracking.
Speaker 2: Now she's a nominee and she needs Pennsylvania desperately, she's
Speaker 2: okay with fracking. I mean, we know that she talked
Speaker 2: a lot about gender surgery for prison inmates on the
Speaker 2: taxpayer's dime. We're not hearing much about that anymore, so
Speaker 2: we get all of that. My question is, as a
Speaker 2: if she's such a flawed candidate, which I don't disagree
Speaker 2: with you, how come Donald Trump's not leading my ten.
Speaker 9: Points because the only thing and I was with you
Speaker 9: on this page when you when we were talking about
Speaker 9: this earlier in the year. Okay, I'm a Desantus fan.
Speaker 9: I'm a I'm a Tim Scott fan. Okay. The only thing,
Speaker 9: like people thought that they needed Donald Trump to win
Speaker 9: this election wrong. As a matter of fact, the only
Speaker 9: thing Donald Trump mobilizes more than his base is opposition. Okay,
Speaker 9: you're seeing anybody but Trump votes. You're seeing people come out.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 9: I gotta be honest.
Speaker 4: With you, if if if.
Speaker 9: Joe Biden didn't wasn't losing in the polls as bad
Speaker 9: as he did in the debates, if he wasn't losing
Speaker 9: in the polls, they would still be out there making
Speaker 9: excuses for him, Just like morning Joe said two weeks
Speaker 9: before he said you got to get rid of him,
Speaker 9: he said, this is the best version of Biden we've
Speaker 9: ever seen.
Speaker 2: If you look at that debate performance as a as
Speaker 2: an anomaly, it was so bad that people said that's it,
Speaker 2: it's over. You know, he may have just had a
Speaker 2: bad night.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know. It's funny though it wasn't much worse
Speaker 9: than not only the way he governed for three and
Speaker 9: a half years, it wasn't much worse than the primaries.
Speaker 9: During those debates when he was out there saying, oh,
Speaker 9: just turn the record player on and looking like he
Speaker 9: got knocked at right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the I thought that the one on
Speaker 2: one with Donald Trump, and I watched it, and I
Speaker 2: commented that night he looked lost. I mean it almost
Speaker 2: he lost.
Speaker 9: He lost the election on the same way that he
Speaker 9: could lose this election anybody but Donald Trump. And the
Speaker 9: only thing Donald Trump is the only one standing in
Speaker 9: his own way, from the horrible debate performance to the
Speaker 9: idiotic things that he says. I mean, listen, they have.
Speaker 9: You would think during that debate, Kamala Harris painted the picture,
Speaker 9: you would have thought Donald Trump was in the White
Speaker 9: House for the passed three and a half years messing.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you Will, Okay, she did a great
Speaker 2: job on that debate against Donald Trump and Ronald Trump,
Speaker 2: who decided as opposed to being disciplined, decided to talk
Speaker 2: about patient immigrants eating dogs and cats, which is shown
Speaker 2: to be not true.
Speaker 9: You can say that she did a great job. I
Speaker 9: see things a little differently.
Speaker 2: She had all her question will Will. When I said
Speaker 2: she did a great job, I'm not saying that that
Speaker 2: she now is on the level of Abraham Lincoln. All
Speaker 2: I'm just saying is she knew what her answers were.
Speaker 2: She stuck with her answers. She was disciplined. And as
Speaker 2: Donald Trump on that debate, you know when they had
Speaker 2: the two camera shots and she could look at him
Speaker 2: and have this look like, what the heck are you
Speaker 2: talking about? Very effective just as it was as was
Speaker 2: it was destructive of Tim Walsh. Rather Tim Walls. Tim
Speaker 2: Wallah looked like Don Rickles. He he had this here
Speaker 2: in the headlight, looks this.
Speaker 9: Donald Trump was so ill prepared for that debate that
Speaker 9: any one could have beaten him.
Speaker 2: Whose fault was that? Whose fault was that?
Speaker 9: Donald Trump's fault? Because no one can prepare this man,
Speaker 9: no one. He won't listen to anyone.
Speaker 2: He was prepared for Joe Biden. No, wasn't he He
Speaker 2: was prepared anyway. Hey, well, I'm way past.
Speaker 4: He was prepared for that.
Speaker 9: Joe Biden was drooling on himself. He just said so,
Speaker 9: by your own admission, the first ever debated Joe Biden,
Speaker 9: Biden never imploded.
Speaker 2: He just sat back and he was smart enough or
Speaker 2: prepared enough to sit back and watch Joe Biden drew.
Speaker 9: That's the first time he debated Joe Biden. He looked
Speaker 9: like an imbecile back in twenty two.
Speaker 2: Terrible debater in twenty.
Speaker 4: Horrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Hey, well I gotta go, man, I'm
Speaker 2: way past my break. I gotta go. Okay, we'll talk again,
Speaker 2: Thanks very much. To take a quick break. We got Joe,
Speaker 2: Chris and John gonna get him all in, no matter what.
Speaker 1: Now Back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, I have five minutes to get three all saying,
Speaker 2: Chris be advised. Go ahead, Chris, welcome next on night Side.
Speaker 2: Chris isn't able to put him on hold. Okay, we'll
Speaker 2: put Chris on hold if he's done. That's fine. Joe
Speaker 2: in Boston, Joe, we gotta be quick, my friend, how
Speaker 2: are you tonight?
Speaker 7: I'm good, even down my brother.
Speaker 10: I love you.
Speaker 6: That's his first and foremost.
Speaker 4: That's what I want to say.
Speaker 2: And then you right back at you. But that's not
Speaker 2: good about you any more time tonight, Hey Joe, how
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 10: I instead of listening a little while to go in,
Speaker 10: I think that you might.
Speaker 4: Be all over the place. There was a guy.
Speaker 7: That was on the bone a little what maybe before
Speaker 7: the second break? Yeah, and he was right on the
Speaker 7: point these people are trying to your everything.
Speaker 10: In the wrong direction. And uh, for some reason, I
Speaker 10: just heard the last of it. I gotta be out
Speaker 10: front with you, and.
Speaker 4: I thought that you felt for it.
Speaker 10: Dan, Okay, Kamala Harvey doesn't have a clue all that's
Speaker 10: going on in the United States of America.
Speaker 6: It's just a.
Speaker 10: Worst snat that the big media, big pharma is trying.
Speaker 7: To push on all of us.
Speaker 10: It is up to us.
Speaker 4: To see the truth in the middle of.
Speaker 10: The huge clouds that they are throwing up in front
Speaker 10: of us.
Speaker 6: That's all that I want to say, Dan.
Speaker 2: Well, I think you said it. I think you said
Speaker 2: it well to be really honest with you, and again,
Speaker 2: it's up to people to decide. At the same time,
Speaker 2: my position was really simple, Joe, and that is that
Speaker 2: she may just have a different view of the world.
Speaker 2: You and I might disagree with her view, but I
Speaker 2: don't want to ascribe bad motives to people, because I
Speaker 2: don't want them to describe bad bad motives to people
Speaker 2: who disagree with them either. The country has to come
Speaker 2: together at some point, and I'm hoping that whoever wins,
Speaker 2: we can come together. You know, I will. I will
Speaker 2: vote just like you'll vote. But I desperately want to
Speaker 2: see this country come back together. We're two divided right.
Speaker 10: Absolutely is going to be my present.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's exactly, Joe. I gotta get I gotta get one.
Speaker 2: I hate to cut you off because you're my best
Speaker 2: one of my best friends. You know that I will
Speaker 2: let you to go tonight, but we will talk longer
Speaker 2: the next time.
Speaker 4: Okay, I just got to tell you that I love you.
Speaker 2: Right back at you, Joe, Thank you so much, my friend.
Speaker 2: Talk to you later. John and Boston. John, we're going
Speaker 2: to be tight on time. You got the final word.
Speaker 8: Tonight, Jennis. I wanted to mention Kamala Harris. She's like
Speaker 8: a teenager demanding the Santis didn't speak to her. I
Speaker 8: mean he he was dealing with a crisis situation where
Speaker 8: people are in grave danger. Here he is the middle
Speaker 8: of stop. He doesn't need to talk to her. It
Speaker 8: doesn't show maturity on her pot And also, Joe Biden
Speaker 8: is the hurricane before the eighty second year born was
Speaker 8: two hundred miles away from Ashville, North Carolina. Dan and
Speaker 8: the Hunter first year but was three hundred miles away.
Speaker 8: He took days to call those helicopters in from the
Speaker 8: eighty second year born to rescue people that were on
Speaker 8: their roofs. They were elderly people in their in their
Speaker 8: homes up to chest deep water. That is not leadership.
Speaker 8: That is definitely not leadership.
Speaker 2: I don't know it was his call. I would assume
Speaker 2: that what he would say is to the military, get
Speaker 2: your butts over and do whatever whatever you can do,
Speaker 2: do what you're supposed to do. That's all I'm trying
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 8: No, I agree, but Joe Biden's commander in chief, and
Speaker 8: under title ten, he was the one.
Speaker 2: Uh, well, the buck stops here. Harry Truman said, the
Speaker 2: buck stops here. Okay, I'm with you exactly.
Speaker 8: And then come on, she scrambled dicks. She never answers
Speaker 8: the question. The media never follows up with her with
Speaker 8: a question that she answers, and so, well, what do
Speaker 8: you mean by that? They never question again. They just
Speaker 8: let this stuff go by.
Speaker 2: All right, you got the find John. You always call late,
Speaker 2: and you've got the final word of the night successfully.
Speaker 2: But I'm flat out of time, so I gotta let
Speaker 2: you go, buddy. You know that, Thank you, John, you
Speaker 2: got the final word. We're done for the night. We're
Speaker 2: back tomorrow night. I will do a night's Side postgame
Speaker 2: in a couple of minutes on night Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: Check me out if you like. Again. Thoughts and prayers
Speaker 2: to all the folks who are affected by either one
Speaker 2: of these storms, Helene or Milton. My name's Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Rob, Thank you Dan, thank you, Marita. Back
Speaker 2: tomorrow night. All dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven.
Speaker 2: That's what my pal Charlie Ray is, who passed fourteen
Speaker 2: years ago in February. That's where all your pets are
Speaker 2: who were passed. They loved you when you love them,
Speaker 2: I do believe you'll see them again. See again tomorrow
Speaker 2: night on Nightside. Thank you so much for listening and calling.
