1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.280
<v Speaker 1>It's nice eyes.

2
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:03.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm doelling you easy.

3
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.599
<v Speaker 3>Boston's News Radio.

4
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Six one, seven, two, five, ten thirty the number we're

5
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 2>going to open up the phones here amy generally on

6
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 2>a Friday at eleven o'clock. From what I understand, Dan

7
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 2>did something pretty laid back, pretty chill, and I was

8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 2>going to do that, but then I decided to go

9
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>with this question because I want to know how you feel.

10
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>How are we doing, USA? How is this country doing?

11
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm very pessimistic, and I'm not a pessimistic person. Now.

12
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Do I pretend to know everything about politics and current events?

13
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 3>No?

14
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't, because I get burned out, I get frustrated,

15
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I get bored, I get angry, I get depressed. Uh,

16
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 2>And I will tell you Dan Ray is more well

17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.759
<v Speaker 2>versed in it than I might than I am, but

18
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't believe I've ever been as pessimistic

19
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>or as negative about where our country is at that

20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I am right now. And I've lived through some pretty

21
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>tough times. And maybe it's because I was younger and

22
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>more optimistic, and as we get older we become more

23
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>pessimistic or more realistic, or just maybe I'm just a

24
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 2>grumpy old bastard now. But I you know, certainly remember

25
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the sixties in the Vietnam War and Watergate and the

26
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Iran Contra affair and the gas crisis, and I always felt,

27
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 2>and again I guess because I was younger, that or

28
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>certain inflation, certain economic downturns, that we'll figure it out,

29
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>that will be all right, that will, you know, will

30
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>remain a superpower, which I do think is important. You know,

31
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the reasons why we have the

32
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.919
<v Speaker 2>life we have is because we are a superpower and

33
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 2>continue to be a melting pot where people pretty much

34
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 2>get along. And I don't feel that way right now.

35
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel at times we're on the brink of a

36
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 2>civil war. I don't think this country has been I

37
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 2>think we're as divided now as we were in the

38
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 2>middle eighteen hundreds. I really do. I mean, I think

39
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 2>it's scary, and I think it is a race issue,

40
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 2>and it scares the hell out of me. It scares

41
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the living hell out of me. And the fact that

42
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, Donald Trumps president says something about our political system. Now.

43
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I know that when he was president the last time around,

44
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the economy was booming. I also know economists have said

45
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to me and Spartan. People have said to me that

46
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>generally the president doesn't drive the economy. It's not the

47
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>way it works, and history will tell us that. But

48
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I just look at the options of our leaders and

49
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I go, we're screwed. Maybe there's just too much information.

50
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I don't want to know everything about every political leader.

51
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I don't want to know everybody's flaws. So how

52
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>are we doing? How do you feel about the country.

53
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Are you optimistic? You know, I look at the basics.

54
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I look at the work ethic. I look at the

55
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 2>work ethic of a new generation. Are people willing to

56
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 2>put in the work? I think people from other countries are.

57
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.080
<v Speaker 2>I think people from other countries are more hungry. I

58
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>think there is definitely a feeling in this country that

59
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 2>people feel just that there's a natural right because they're

60
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>an American to live a certain lifestyle. They just deserve it.

61
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>It's granted to us, it's a birthright. And that's a problem.

62
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>That is a big time problem. And I look at

63
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>our political leaders, look at our options. You know, we

64
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>you know. Donald Trump is not a nice man. I mean,

65
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>he is a selfish, egotistical tyrant who, according to the

66
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>country was a better option than what the Democrats provided,

67
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>And I can't really argue with it because Kamala empty suit.

68
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>She told us nothing, she showed us nothing. And how

69
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>arrogant were the Democrats to think that they could pass

70
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>off Joe Biden, who has been, in my opinion, an

71
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 2>admirable civil servant for the majority of his life. But

72
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>how arrogant were they were that they felt that they

73
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>could pass this man off, who obviously was incapable of

74
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:15.079
<v Speaker 2>doing the job. How dumb do you think we are?

75
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>And the Democrats have just become the party of Hollywood.

76
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>And I love Hollywood, believe me. But I mean the

77
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>fact that George Clooney and you know, Oprah are coming

78
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 2>in and telling people that in telling Joe you should bail,

79
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what the hell? I mean? He should have

80
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 2>been running in the first place. We know that. So

81
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I blamed the Democrats for not providing a decent option

82
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>to Trump. But maybe Trump's the right guy for the

83
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 2>right time again. Maybe his economic policies are just what

84
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>we need. Maybe his ego and his isolationist attitude is

85
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 2>what this country needs, where he's not going to take

86
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 2>any crap from other countries. You have to belong to NATO,

87
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>though we all understand that that that does not help

88
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 2>at all. But here you have a guy, you know,

89
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 2>and Trump, where it looks like the Supreme Court was

90
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 2>in his back pocket, and the Supreme Court says, Okay,

91
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna outlaw TikTok, and Trump admits that's maybe why

92
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 2>he got elected. And I thought TikTok was gonna get

93
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Kamala elected. Remember the whole brats, that whole scene that

94
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>backfired completely completely, because what people vote for. People vote

95
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 2>for their wallet. People vote for who's going to give

96
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>me the best chance to make the most money. Well,

97
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>that's fine, but you also have to have the work

98
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:59.120
<v Speaker 2>ethic to want to make the most money. There's a

99
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>great line and I should have looked it up between

100
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Gene Hackman and Clint Eastwood after Eastwood shoots him in

101
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 2>uh uh right, I'm spacing it on the movie my

102
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 2>h Morgan Freeman won an Academy Award I believe for that.

103
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Where after he shoots Hackman, Hackman says, I don't deserve this.

104
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Eastwood says, deserve deserve. What you deserve has nothing to

105
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>do with it. There is a there is a sentiment

106
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 2>in this country that if you are a mere citizen

107
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>of America you deserve a certain lifestyle, or you deserve

108
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 2>a certain job or a certain level. That worries me.

109
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>That really, that that really worries me. We've had it

110
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>too good, I think in a lot of ways. You know,

111
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>with Biden continuing to bail people out with knowledge you

112
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 2>can't afford to pay off your loans. Okay, well we'll

113
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 2>pay them for you. I mean, that crap's got to stop.

114
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>You got to pay your own way, man. Look, you

115
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>just do there. And and Trump's not totally wrong with

116
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 2>the with the border. There has to be a system

117
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>at the border. There has to be some sort of

118
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>of of just a system where you just don't have

119
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 2>people just coming running in that that the country can't support.

120
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not saying everyone that I don't believe you know,

121
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>people that are coming into this country illegally, you know,

122
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>a murderers and rapists. I don't. I don't buy into that.

123
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 2>But there has to be some sense of organization if

124
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 2>you're going to come into the country. Then the argument

125
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>can be made that there's a lot of people here

126
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>that don't want certain jobs because they think the jobs

127
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.320
<v Speaker 2>are beneath them, and those jobs can only be fulfilled

128
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>with illegal immigrants. So how are we doing? How do

129
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.879
<v Speaker 2>you feel about the country? Do you feel more optimistic

130
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>than me? I hope so will take some calls next

131
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>at six one, seven thirty on WBZ.

132
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 3>Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World

133
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 3>Night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

134
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 4>Why is it not the greatest country in the world, professor,

135
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 4>that's my answer. You're saying, yes, let's talk about fine, Sharon.

136
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 2>The NEA is a loser.

137
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it accounts for a penny out of our paycheck,

138
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 4>but he gets to hit you with it anytime he wants.

139
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't cost money.

140
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 4>It costs bolts, It costs airtime and column inches. You

141
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 4>know why people don't like liberals because they lose. If

142
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 4>liberals are so Morka, they lose it.

143
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm always hey.

144
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 4>And with a straight face, you're gonna tell students that

145
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 4>America is so star spangled awesome, that we're the only

146
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 4>ones in the world.

147
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Who have freedom.

148
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia,

149
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 4>Belgium has freedom. So two hundred and seven sovereign states

150
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.960
<v Speaker 4>in the world, like one hundred and eighty of them

151
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.200
<v Speaker 4>have freedom, all right, and you got you a sorority

152
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 4>girl just in case you accidentally wander into a voting

153
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 4>booth one day. There's some things you should know, and

154
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 4>one of them is there is absolutely no evidence to

155
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 4>support the statement that were the greatest country in the world.

156
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.480
<v Speaker 4>We're seventh in literacy, twenty seventh in math, twenty second

157
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.480
<v Speaker 4>in science, forty ninth in life expectancy, one hundred and

158
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.799
<v Speaker 4>seventy eighth in infant mortality, third and median household income,

159
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 4>number four in labor force, and number four in exports.

160
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 2>We lead the world in only three categories.

161
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.879
<v Speaker 4>Number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who

162
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.679
<v Speaker 4>believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend

163
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 4>more than the next twenty six countries, combining.

164
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Twenty five of whom her allies.

165
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 4>Now, none of this is the fault of a twenty

166
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 4>year old college student, but you nonetheless are, without it,

167
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 4>not a member of the worst period generation period ever periods.

168
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.879
<v Speaker 4>When you ask what makes us the greatest country in

169
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 4>the world, I don't.

170
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Know what you're talking about. That is the greatest television

171
00:10:53.519 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 2>monologue ever that is Jeff Daniels from Newsroom. Amazing, amazing people.

172
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 2>And that's the way I And that just ties into

173
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the theme of tonight. How are we doing, USA? How

174
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>do you feel about that? I'm not feeling great. I'm

175
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 2>not feeling great about it. Stephen New York and change

176
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 2>my mind? Hello, Steve, you're on WBC AGT.

177
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:19.799
<v Speaker 1>What's up?

178
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:21.679
<v Speaker 2>What's going on? Kid?

179
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:22.720
<v Speaker 5>All right?

180
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>So I have a famous quote and I need you

181
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 1>to tell me who it is from.

182
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

183
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Boy, I may not be able to run very fast.

184
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.519
<v Speaker 6>But boy, could I talk.

185
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>That was the last time we talked the Conzo. This

186
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is the Conzo. I know New York.

187
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I know who it is. Oh, I know. Why are

188
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 2>you in New York?

189
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm driving a big Rig. That's why my email

190
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>is Stevie big Rig.

191
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's right, So you're driving. So how do you

192
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>feel about our country right now? Steve?

193
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh? You know me, Gary, I think you know me

194
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that I am a very optimistic person. And thank god

195
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump getting in and I know I get it.

196
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:09.519
<v Speaker 1>And I just want to let you know you are

197
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>very sensible. I give you all the ps for that

198
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>because some on the other side, kid, but you certainly.

199
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 6>Of course you're roll too, right.

200
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh no, the Democrats do it. The Democrat

201
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy. But here's the thing, Steve, it's Steve. We

202
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.480
<v Speaker 2>grew up in the same area, so he was one

203
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>town over. But like in Rumford and Dicksfield in Mexico,

204
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the area we came from. If you were a Democrat,

205
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>that meant you were pro labor. Everybody that worked in

206
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:47.639
<v Speaker 2>the mill was a Democrat. You were for the middle class.

207
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 1>But that's all changed, sure has.

208
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 2>It's all changed now. They don't speak to that. I mean,

209
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:59.080
<v Speaker 2>when you know Kamala Ran and then I found out

210
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.440
<v Speaker 2>that they paid Hope to do the whole interview, I

211
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, that's Jesus my god, that's crazy.

212
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

213
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 2>The reality is the Democrats were talking down to people.

214
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Trump is insane. I mean, he just is.

215
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 2>But he doesn't talk down to people, right, he does

216
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 2>not talk down to people. He talks like a regular,

217
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 2>He talks with you. He's a great communicator. I mean,

218
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.120
<v Speaker 2>that's the thing, Steve, that that this is going to

219
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>go down. He will be analyzed thirty years from now,

220
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 2>fifty years of now as one of the greatest communicators ever.

221
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Because whether he's right or wrong, he still gets people

222
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 2>to buy in. And when I say right or wrong,

223
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.399
<v Speaker 2>I meant factually, you know what I mean.

224
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this election Gary reminded me of Hillary when she

225
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 1>was running against Trump and they're all over confident, think

226
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.399
<v Speaker 1>they were going to win it. But you know, the

227
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>American people have spoken and I would be very pessimistic,

228
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 1>like you if Kamala'll get in because oh me in.

229
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 2>My opinion, change my putting in change. I still feel

230
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 2>the same way. Here's the thing about Trump. The world

231
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 2>right now is a really fed up place, right, I

232
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>mean it really, and we constantly you know, you think

233
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:24.279
<v Speaker 2>people would learn, but they don't. But with the Middle

234
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.879
<v Speaker 2>East and yet and you know Trump's coming in, so

235
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>now all of a sudden they decide to get in

236
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.039
<v Speaker 2>the chord? Did decide to? Did they? They decide to

237
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 2>settle and get a piece agreement because Trump is coming in.

238
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.519
<v Speaker 2>It reminded me. I don't know if you remember this, Steve,

239
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>but yeah you do. You're my age when Jimmy Carter

240
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.279
<v Speaker 2>lost to Reagan and the hostages were being held in

241
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Iran and Carter couldn't get him out. Now, Carter's a

242
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.799
<v Speaker 2>very smart man and did a lot for humanity, but

243
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:58.440
<v Speaker 2>he didn't strike the fear of godden people. Reagan did.

244
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:01.919
<v Speaker 2>And as soon as and got in and was elected,

245
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>those hostages were on the plane and you got a

246
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.039
<v Speaker 2>wonder you know, I'm Trump coming in. Then all of

247
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, does everybody in the Middle East decide, Okay,

248
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 2>now we have to behave.

249
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Yes, because he's a strong leader and we needed that

250
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 1>for a country to have strong leadership. And it worked

251
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the first time. It's going to work again and we

252
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm so thankful he.

253
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:26.840
<v Speaker 7>Got in there.

254
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm glad. I wasn't close either. I

255
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.240
<v Speaker 1>expected the election to be close. I was hoping not.

256
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>But anyways, I got on Wei, I get on the

257
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:42.919
<v Speaker 1>chat with the morning crew and I mentioned you nicely

258
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:47.759
<v Speaker 1>that I'd spoken to you, and one of the people

259
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.639
<v Speaker 1>on the chat room says, hey, next time you talk

260
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>to Gary, remind him of the Morning show and Ei

261
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.679
<v Speaker 1>when he was on talking about what's his name from

262
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Penn States skis to Dusky.

263
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, Curtis yeah yeah,

264
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah yeah yeah. Don't worry, don't worry. I I

265
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>have I have nightmares.

266
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I missed that I wish I had heard it, but

267
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.120
<v Speaker 1>he was laughing. He said, does that ask Gary about it?

268
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure he was. Believe me, I'm

269
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:23.480
<v Speaker 2>sure he was.

270
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I had heard it, I would have probably supported you.

271
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it was.

272
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 6>About, but.

273
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a radio bit that went a little

274
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.519
<v Speaker 2>out of control.

275
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 6>Okay, yeah, too far.

276
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I will just leave it at that.

277
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, are your phone lines fall right now?

278
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:44.519
<v Speaker 2>No, they're not.

279
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh they are not because of you, because of you, Gary.

280
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Steve, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We'll

281
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:55.720
<v Speaker 2>handle it. Well, we'll talk, well, we'll figure it out.

282
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.279
<v Speaker 2>But the point, you know, that's still the point that

283
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to make was, you know, people had know

284
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats really messed up, and they've got some work

285
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:09.039
<v Speaker 2>to do. They have got a lot of work to do.

286
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Because here's the thing, this is what I wanted to say.

287
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.000
<v Speaker 2>And you as a you know, you're a working man.

288
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.880
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter what color your skin is, It doesn't

289
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.759
<v Speaker 2>matter about your religion, it doesn't matter about quite frankly,

290
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.720
<v Speaker 2>how you identify. People want jobs. And African American men

291
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.920
<v Speaker 2>voted for Trump. They did, I mean Africa because and

292
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 2>they thought that they wanted jobs, and they said this

293
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.039
<v Speaker 2>guy has a better chance of putting people to work

294
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 2>than HER's. And that's where people lose track, like this

295
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.039
<v Speaker 2>is the thing, like how are we doing? Like with America,

296
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:47.039
<v Speaker 2>It's it's like everything is We've lost track of the basics,

297
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 2>lost track of the base, We've lost track of the basics.

298
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Gary, it's just a big divide now, like when

299
00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 1>JFK was president. That's the last true Democrat that I remember,

300
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I'm the only Republican out of my

301
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.440
<v Speaker 1>family in Dicksfield, and everybody and my family were voting

302
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 1>for the Caucus and he was.

303
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.279
<v Speaker 5>As weak as you know.

304
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I talked to Dan. I talked to Dan last week, Gary,

305
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.079
<v Speaker 1>and it was about Jimmy Cotter, and I said, you know,

306
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.799
<v Speaker 1>I respect a man like you said his post presidential

307
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>work with the Habitat for Humanity, And I said, but

308
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I considered him a weak president. And you just gave

309
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the reasons why. But I asked Dan, Dad, tell me

310
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:40.480
<v Speaker 1>what in his estimation they you know, President Cotter respectable,

311
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that he did a great job. I mean, he didn't

312
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.519
<v Speaker 1>do a horrible job, but I think he was weak.

313
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.079
<v Speaker 6>And well, you know what it.

314
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Was, JFK.

315
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:49.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

316
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, The thing with Carter is it was coming

317
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:57.559
<v Speaker 2>off a Watergate. So you know, Dixon was a smart guy.

318
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.839
<v Speaker 2>He was just paranoid. Yeah, he was paranoid. And history

319
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.839
<v Speaker 2>historians will tell you that he was more qualified to

320
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:09.720
<v Speaker 2>be president than Kennedy. But Kennedy looked better on TV.

321
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:13.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh he's more handsome, no doubt.

322
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:17.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Kennedy was a great communicator, you know, and

323
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.359
<v Speaker 2>he fit the role well and he just looked better

324
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.960
<v Speaker 2>than the Nixon. But Nixon got paranoid. That's what killed him.

325
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.240
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, with Watergate, he got paranoid. They weren't going

326
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.599
<v Speaker 2>to lose the election seventy two. He wasn't going to lose.

327
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 2>There was no reason to do the Watergate bull craft.

328
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.599
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't gonna no way, he was not going to

329
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.440
<v Speaker 2>lose that to McGovern not a chance. But so people

330
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.559
<v Speaker 2>felt they needed to get somebody that was the salt

331
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 2>of the earth, and that was Jimmy Carter.

332
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I got a butt in for Let me butt

333
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.839

393

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and maybe we're talking to some friends. Excuse me.

394
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.559
<v Speaker 6>I was just taking at some Italian bread of the bag.

395
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.599
<v Speaker 2>That's all right, kid, we all got to eat.

396
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:11.440
<v Speaker 6>I know it's gone now this week, coming home this week,

397
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 6>coming home this week, Uh meeting the hell it was

398
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:20.559
<v Speaker 6>kind of unusual to I extend. I thought posting uh

399
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 6>Trump's schedule for three days. I think Uh. Friday was

400
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 6>some ceremony at Arlington Cemetery, Lington National Cemetery, and Saturday

401
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:39.480
<v Speaker 6>a rally at some arena. It's either in Maryland or Virginia.

402
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 6>And I was like, he's having a rally while people

403
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 6>in California are hurting big time is wrong with that guy?

404
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, well you know, well, don listen. He's nuts. Look

405
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 2>he was.

406
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I know he's not.

407
00:23:58.519 --> 00:24:00.599
<v Speaker 2>But he was a better alternative and in the minds

408
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.519
<v Speaker 2>of the American people than Kamala Harris. And I understand that.

409
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I see it. I get it. The thing with Trump,

410
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:11.279
<v Speaker 2>oh I hate it. I hate it. Oh believe me,

411
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I hate it. I would have voted for Dicky Haley.

412
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, Trump always wants to run for office.

413
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:21.759
<v Speaker 2>That's what he will do as president. He loves to

414
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:25.160
<v Speaker 2>be in front of the I mean he loves to

415
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.240
<v Speaker 2>be in front of an audience. When he's running for office.

416
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:32.319
<v Speaker 2>He was dancing to YMCA. I mean even when the

417
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 2>guy got shot. When the guy got shot, God bless him,

418
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 2>thank you. He survived, but he raised his fist in

419
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 2>the air. I mean, he loves to be in front

420
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:44.839
<v Speaker 2>of an audience. That's what he does. He is a figure,

421
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 2>that's what he And he loves rallies because when he

422
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 2>goes into a rally, he is loved. And I mean,

423
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll analyze it. I don't think he got any love

424
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 2>from his own man. I don't think he got any

425
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.359
<v Speaker 2>love as a child growing up and I don't think

426
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.079
<v Speaker 2>he got any love earlier on in his life. I

427
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 2>don't think he had a lot of friends. And I

428
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.240
<v Speaker 2>think that that's why he wrote all the books. That's

429
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 2>why he loves the attention. He just wants to be loved,

430
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:13.079
<v Speaker 2>and that's why he will continue to have these rallies

431
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>when they're not needed. You're right, done, You're right, they're

432
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>not needed.

433
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 6>There's there's a there's a mental illness thing there. Like,

434
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:26.519
<v Speaker 6>I'm the president of the greatest country in the world.

435
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 6>We've got a big section that's in front where tremendous fires.

436
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 6>People are hurting. But I got to go before a

437
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 6>cloud and get adulation and approval to be me.

438
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 2>That's superstit, absolutely absolutely. But he's in, you know, and

439
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.559
<v Speaker 2>and and I understand why he's in. I understand it.

440
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:53.599
<v Speaker 2>I got to be honest with you, you know. I mean,

441
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:55.839
<v Speaker 2>you look at Kamala Harris, so you look at Donald Trump,

442
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.079
<v Speaker 2>and I go, oh, I don't want either of them.

443
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:03.440
<v Speaker 6>But one is a common sense you know, he was.

444
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:08.000
<v Speaker 6>I liked her common sense and a plan, and so

445
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.799
<v Speaker 6>she was thrust into it with a hundred days left.

446
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah they did, they blew it, but yeah, yeah, they

447
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:16.640
<v Speaker 2>blew it. Biden blew it. He never did. I agree,

448
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.119
<v Speaker 2>But I also didn't think. I also didn't think she

449
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:23.000
<v Speaker 2>she hit a home run. She didn't come out and

450
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 2>grab it. I thought she was too passive.

451
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.880
<v Speaker 6>I had that feeling too, like it hit the top

452
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:30.279
<v Speaker 6>of the fence, right.

453
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, I don't even know if I got the defence.

454
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Don You're a great call, Thanks, buddy, Alan Chelmsford, you're

455
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:43.759
<v Speaker 2>up on WBZ. Hello, Al, you're on night Side. All

456
00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:47.200
<v Speaker 2>are you there, Buddy? All right, and we lost Al.

457
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Sorry about that. Let's go to Tina, my friend Tina

458
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>and Musnic. You're on WBZ.

459
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:57.799
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Tina, Hello, Hi, Oh, I'm fine. I just turned

460
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 8>into your show about eight minutes ago. So I'm kind

461
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:03.839
<v Speaker 8>of at a loss of what everything you've been talking about.

462
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.160
<v Speaker 8>But from what I gathered, you want to know about

463
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.559
<v Speaker 8>the country and the state or the state of America.

464
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 2>How do you feel about the United States of America?

465
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 8>Not very good? And the two things that are coming

466
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.799
<v Speaker 8>across my mind now is, and I'm trying to understand

467
00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.799
<v Speaker 8>it correctly, two different things. And it's really occurring in

468
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:28.559
<v Speaker 8>the past two weeks is that number one people have

469
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:31.519
<v Speaker 8>said in other programs that Jimmy caught. It was a

470
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:35.920
<v Speaker 8>very weak president and that what he should have done

471
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 8>when they took the hostages was that he should have

472
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:44.440
<v Speaker 8>blockaded Iran so they wouldn't, you know, be able to

473
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.160
<v Speaker 8>import export.

474
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker 2>You should you should have been in bargos, right right,

475
00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:50.559
<v Speaker 2>right right.

476
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:55.279
<v Speaker 8>However, the one thing he did do, he did they

477
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.119
<v Speaker 8>came back alive. Because if he would have done the embargo,

478
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 8>how do we know that those people in Iran are

479
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.240
<v Speaker 8>the people who held the hostages, wouldn't have killed them.

480
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:09.079
<v Speaker 8>So I think you're gonna give him credit for the

481
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:12.880
<v Speaker 8>fact that they did come home alive. So I just

482
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.680
<v Speaker 8>wanted to give.

483
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 2>You that well, Tina, But before you go onto, I

484
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 2>want to make a point about that before we go

485
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.759
<v Speaker 2>on to the next topic here, and don't forget your point,

486
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>because I have a tendency to do that. Here's the

487
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:28.640
<v Speaker 2>thing that people forget. There was a rescue attempt by

488
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:32.160
<v Speaker 2>the Carter administration, and I believe it was Jody Powell,

489
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:35.119
<v Speaker 2>who was in his cabinet, who met and they had

490
00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:39.160
<v Speaker 2>special forces that were gonna go in and make a

491
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>rescue attempt, and there was a mechanical problem with the

492
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:49.119
<v Speaker 2>helicopter and they couldn't and the helicopter was the helicopter.

493
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.119
<v Speaker 2>It didn't crash, but they were forced to make a

494
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.480
<v Speaker 2>landing because they had a mechanical problem. That killed Carter's reputation.

495
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Now Carter isn't like helicopter, he's not working on the

496
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:03.720
<v Speaker 2>health helicopter. The guy served his country. I mean, you

497
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.200
<v Speaker 2>can make the argument that Trump was a draft dodger.

498
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Carter served his country. He was in the Navy. He

499
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:12.920
<v Speaker 2>was a nuclear scientist for the United States Navy. Yes,

500
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:17.640
<v Speaker 2>but this is all perception. Because that helicopter, that helicopter

501
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:23.279
<v Speaker 2>crashed and they couldn't go through with the rescue. Carter's

502
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:27.720
<v Speaker 2>reputation took ahead, So that's right, you know. And he

503
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.240
<v Speaker 2>took ahead, and Reagan came in and looked the part. Yes, yeah,

504
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>you're not wrong.

505
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.759
<v Speaker 8>The other thing that upsets me, Okay, I'm just trying

506
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.799
<v Speaker 8>to find out the truth. I'm an old lady. I'm

507
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:43.680
<v Speaker 8>always looking for the truth. I don't like the fact

508
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:48.279
<v Speaker 8>that they're trying to ban TikTok because the way I

509
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 8>look at it, Yeah, Chinese Communist Party, Chinese communism is

510
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:58.640
<v Speaker 8>different from Russian communism, and I don't see myself China

511
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.440
<v Speaker 8>as an adversary. I see them as a trading partner,

512
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.839
<v Speaker 8>and I don't think there's anything wrong with TikTok and

513
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.000
<v Speaker 8>the bigger in the bigger scope of things. What do

514
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.640
<v Speaker 8>you think about my ideas that I just shared with you.

515
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 2>I think that they're very reasonable, and I will just

516
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 2>share this with you. I I agree with you to

517
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 2>a point. And this is where you and I separate.

518
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:31.079
<v Speaker 2>China is very important to our economy. There's no question

519
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.519
<v Speaker 2>you are absolutely right about that. China is very important

520
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 2>to our economy. A twenty five percent tariff that Trump

521
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:40.000
<v Speaker 2>wants to place on that country, it's not a good idea, Okay.

522
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.480
<v Speaker 2>That's not a great idea that I know.

523
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 8>Okay, But when the.

524
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.039
<v Speaker 2>United States government goes to the Supreme Court and says

525
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:53.880
<v Speaker 2>we have information about TikTok that will further substantiate why

526
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 2>you should ban it. I look at TikTok and I

527
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:01.599
<v Speaker 2>go it looks harmless to me. My kids do it.

528
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:05.200
<v Speaker 2>It's everywhere. I have friends that make money doing it,

529
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, with so it looks pretty like okay. So

530
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.960
<v Speaker 2>if the Chinese government gets my address, who cares? You know,

531
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I really don't care. But the one thing that is

532
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.319
<v Speaker 2>when the government goes to the Supreme Court is look,

533
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:25.799
<v Speaker 2>there's something else going on here. I want to believe

534
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:31.160
<v Speaker 2>the government that China is using it for evil purposes

535
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 2>that risks our national security. And when that.

536
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 8>Happens, can't you say that you can blame social media

537
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:43.759
<v Speaker 8>in general?

538
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes you can. Look, information is everywhere. It's out

539
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>of control. It's out of control. Like you can do

540
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.279
<v Speaker 2>your best, don't give out your social Security number, protect

541
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you're finding it, protect your finances. But it's hard. I mean,

542
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>the digital Highway is massive. Who knows where it goes,

543
00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.519
<v Speaker 2>who knows what ends up on the dark web. I

544
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 2>mean I've kind of thrown up my hands with it

545
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 2>that you know, at some point in time you're going

546
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:15.720
<v Speaker 2>to get hacked.

547
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 8>But I understand what you're saying.

548
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 2>But TikTok is run by the Chinese government, and the

549
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Chinese government is looking to do some things that benefit

550
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>them that don't benefit us.

551
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 8>And that's life and business and the social media.

552
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well the bottom line, well they are, but China

553
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:40.799
<v Speaker 2>is not looking up for the bottom line and to

554
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:44.279
<v Speaker 2>make money. China is looking out to get information or

555
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:48.039
<v Speaker 2>do something to the United States that hurts us in

556
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:51.359
<v Speaker 2>the world stage, that they are a threat to us.

557
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.680
<v Speaker 2>They are a business partner, yes, but the government feels

558
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that they are a threat to us and a threat

559
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 2>to our safety. That's why they want to shot it down.

560
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Because if you think about it, Donna, I mean, Tina,

561
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:06.039
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, if you think about it, We've never done this.

562
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've never the United States has never done this.

563
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and you want to talk about we've had

564
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:17.119
<v Speaker 2>We've had media outlets say nasty things about our government.

565
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.759
<v Speaker 2>We've had media outlets that are racist, that are homophobic,

566
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.359
<v Speaker 2>but we say, hey, free speeche we let it ride.

567
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:26.640
<v Speaker 2>We let it ride. So it's got to be I

568
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I look at it this way. It's got to be

569
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 2>pretty bad for them to want to shut it down.

570
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:35.680
<v Speaker 2>That's my thing. I trust them, but I hear you.

571
00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I hear what you're saying. I get it.

572
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 8>I get I don't trust them. I don't trust the government.

573
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have to. I have to trust them on

574
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.519
<v Speaker 2>this one, Tina. Thank you for the phone call. All

575

<v Speaker 2>good stuff. Six one seven, All right, take care six

577
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.359
<v Speaker 2>He'll take us home. Coming up next here on WBZ.

578
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:58.759
<v Speaker 3>Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World

579
00:33:58.920 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Life Side Studios.

580
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm WBZ News Radio Gary Tank, Dan Ray feeling finishing

581
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:08.440
<v Speaker 2>things up. Been a great show tonight. Really has been

582
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:13.760
<v Speaker 2>talking about the TikTok band Lake Lively and it ends

583
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:19.159
<v Speaker 2>with us and Justin Baldoni that's just a mess. He's

584
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna lose badly on that. And quite frankly, he should

585
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:25.440
<v Speaker 2>talked about Brabes, the new head coach of the Patriots,

586
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:29.159
<v Speaker 2>and my friend, my friend Tanya Ray Fox. So all

587
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:33.719
<v Speaker 2>good stuff. Uh and now how do you feel about

588
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:39.199
<v Speaker 2>the USA? How are we doing? Be honest, I'm a

589
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>little down. Maybe it's just because I'm older. Maybe I

590
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 2>realized that everybody puts on their pants one leg at

591
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a time. But I long for the days when we

592
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 2>looked up to our political leaders, or I would look

593
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.639
<v Speaker 2>at a political political leader and say, you know what,

594
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:58.519
<v Speaker 2>that person's smarter than me. We're in better hands with

595
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:02.320
<v Speaker 2>he or she in charge. And I just don't feel

596
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 2>that way anymore. All right, Alan Chelmsford, how you're up

597
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 2>on WBZ? Yeah, that's up? How you doing?

598
00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 7>I just want I just wanted to comment on your

599
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:19.880
<v Speaker 7>opening statements. I tend to agree about ninety nine percent

600
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:24.960
<v Speaker 7>of what you said. I think it was really straightforward

601
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 7>and it says where we're at. I tend to be

602
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:34.119
<v Speaker 7>a little more positive though, than you were, or that

603
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:34.719
<v Speaker 7>you feel.

604
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:39.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad. How come? Why are you more positive?

605
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:42.360
<v Speaker 1>How old are you?

606
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Gary?

607
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:51.119
<v Speaker 9>I am sixty okay, I'm seventy four, so I've seen

608
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:52.199
<v Speaker 9>a little bit more.

609
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:53.199
<v Speaker 7>Than you over the years.

610
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, I'm in.

611
00:35:56.519 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 7>Business for myself. I'm still working. I started my business

612
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:01.480
<v Speaker 7>I was twenty years old.

613
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:06.800
<v Speaker 9>In blue collar in construction, so I'm out there with

614
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:11.400
<v Speaker 9>a lot of blue collar people. And I voted for

615
00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:13.840
<v Speaker 9>Trump both times, but the second time.

616
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:20.199
<v Speaker 7>Very hesitantly right. But I didn't like the alternative.

617
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Well that's the problem. Yes, agreed, and.

618
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:32.639
<v Speaker 7>Since he got in, I didn't think he was gonna

619
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:36.280
<v Speaker 7>win by that much, and he did. And a lot

620
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:40.519
<v Speaker 7>of people that I've talked to that I know were

621
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:46.039
<v Speaker 7>Democrats before or voted Democrat kind of came around because

622
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:48.280
<v Speaker 7>there wasn't really any other alternative.

623
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Democratic Party has been the Democrat I'm sorry,

624
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:55.280
<v Speaker 2>let me hold you a Yeah, the Democratic Party has

625
00:36:55.320 --> 00:37:00.159
<v Speaker 2>abandoned their base. I mean they just had correct they

626
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:03.280
<v Speaker 2>have abandoned their base. They have gone too far to

627
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the left too, and they've become too arrogant. And they've

628
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:11.119
<v Speaker 2>gone too far to the left with the Hollywood All.

629
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:15.519
<v Speaker 2>They've become much too arrogantep and they have forgot, they

630
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:18.039
<v Speaker 2>have forgotten what the Democrat Party has been made of,

631
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:24.159
<v Speaker 2>which is basically hardworking people, regardless of race, regardless of race.

632
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 7>And I think I think that because they gave out

633
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:35.000
<v Speaker 7>so much over the years, that they've actually ruined some

634
00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:40.840
<v Speaker 7>of the younger kids today to be hard workers. You know,

635
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 7>we're trying to get kids to shovel snow. Twenty five

636
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:50.239
<v Speaker 7>thirty years ago, I had kids lined up, their parents

637
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 7>would drop them off when they were in high school,

638
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.639
<v Speaker 7>and they would shovel snow for us and make a

639
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:59.000
<v Speaker 7>night's pay or weekend's pay. Today, I don't want to

640
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:01.639
<v Speaker 7>shovel snow. I'm getting thirty dollars an hour.

641
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know we sound like a couple of old bastards,

642
00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:08.519
<v Speaker 2>but you're preaching to the converted. You're absolutely right. I mean,

643
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:14.840
<v Speaker 2>you are absolutely right. I agree one hundred percent. I mean,

644
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've gone into restaurants and I've worked at radio.

645
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:20.840
<v Speaker 2>My whole life. I started working in radio in high

646
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 2>school and that's that's what I did. I worked at

647
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:26.159
<v Speaker 2>the Kittery Trading Post part time when I got out

648
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:28.639
<v Speaker 2>of college to supplement my radio income, which wasn't great.

649
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:33.480
<v Speaker 2>But I had friends of mine that waited tables, they bartended,

650
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and they just crushed it on tips. I've gone into

651
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:40.000
<v Speaker 2>restaurants now in my hometown and they'll are like, half

652
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the thing is shut down because they can't people, they

653
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.159
<v Speaker 2>can't get people to work as servers. What has happened

654
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 2>is that that generations have worked so damn hard to

655
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 2>give their kids a great life. The kids are soft.

656
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's a fact. And I could sound like

657
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:57.920
<v Speaker 2>an embarrass it all I want, but.

658
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.760
<v Speaker 7>It's oh and I'm guilty of it. Give it to

659
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.840
<v Speaker 7>thank God my daughter.

660
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, fortunately my son, God

661
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.320
<v Speaker 2>blessed him when he was home on break. He loves

662
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:12.360
<v Speaker 2>money and he's worked multiple jobs. He saved his money.

663
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:14.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's investing in the market. I'm not worried

664
00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:20.119
<v Speaker 2>about him, but there and he he has never shot

665
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:23.360
<v Speaker 2>away from hard work. I'm fortunate, But you're right, I mean,

666
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and shovel and snow that was a great job. Because

667
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it was seasonal. You didn't have to commit. You could

668
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.599
<v Speaker 2>go out and make a hundred bucks in a night,

669
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:38.639
<v Speaker 2>and it just doesn't happen anymore. Al you're you agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed,

670
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to boy. God, this is just old men complaining.

671
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Pelvis and Middleton. You're up on WVZ.

672
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:47.239
<v Speaker 5>Gary, what's up? What's up?

673
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Bud?

674
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:48.760
<v Speaker 6>I love you, I love you.

675
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 5>I'd love to hear you back on the radio. He's

676
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 5>listen to you and Zoe lac back on the other

677
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:53.800
<v Speaker 5>channel there.

678
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:55.760
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, yeah, no.

679
00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:59.039
<v Speaker 5>So I grew up at Myopia Hunt Club in Hamilton,

680
00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:03.840
<v Speaker 5>mass Over at the Polo Fields. I built my business around,

681
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.239
<v Speaker 5>you know, landscape design and construction, a lot of those

682
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:09.840
<v Speaker 5>high end golf course guys whatever, and the same thing

683
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:12.679
<v Speaker 5>like you hired the Guatemalan guys. I hired a bunch

684
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:15.639
<v Speaker 5>of these guys at big money, thirty forty dollars an hour.

685
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:19.239
<v Speaker 5>You get to a point where you don't you don't

686
00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:24.119
<v Speaker 5>have any young American options anymore. All the all the younger,

687
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:26.079
<v Speaker 5>all the all the generation. Now they want to make

688
00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:29.119
<v Speaker 5>a TikTok video with their feet or their chest and

689
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:30.760
<v Speaker 5>they're going to make a ton of money on it.

690
00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe maybe.

691
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:36.559
<v Speaker 5>But the problem is I will tell you from personal

692
00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:40.280
<v Speaker 5>experience real quick, and this is something you could look up.

693
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:42.119
<v Speaker 5>But one of the guys I had worked with me

694
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:47.039
<v Speaker 5>for a very long time, hard working Guatemalan guy did

695
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:50.119
<v Speaker 5>a lot of brickwork for US, high end brickwork, patios,

696
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:53.400
<v Speaker 5>outdoor kitchens, whatever. He was picked up by the Ice

697
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:58.679
<v Speaker 5>last last year in the North Strow Mall. They recognized

698
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.760
<v Speaker 5>his face. He was wanted for out rape and extortion

699
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:03.519
<v Speaker 5>and all tends.

700
00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:04.079
<v Speaker 6>Some of the shit.

701
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:07.159
<v Speaker 5>We would have no idea. He was such a good guy,

702
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:10.159
<v Speaker 5>he was around my kids, he got paid well, we

703
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:11.920
<v Speaker 5>would never know who he was. This is what happened.

704
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:16.239
<v Speaker 5>He got reported in twenty eleven for this and he

705
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:19.920
<v Speaker 5>came back here four years later. We hired him unknowingly

706
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:23.559
<v Speaker 5>because he's you know, looked like a sweetheart, did did

707
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:25.840
<v Speaker 5>hard work the vetting process.

708
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Gary.

709
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:29.159
<v Speaker 5>That's the problem. It's like, I have nothing against anybody

710
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:31.039
<v Speaker 5>who wants to make a better life for themselves, but

711
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 5>a country with no borders is no country. Well, you

712
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:38.320
<v Speaker 5>and I love I love Quebec City. You and I

713
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.039
<v Speaker 5>cannot walk into Quebec City and start a business with

714
00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:46.480
<v Speaker 5>our hands open. Free medical, free education, free food, free housing.

715
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:49.079
<v Speaker 5>It's never going to happen. Right, were the only country

716
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:53.360
<v Speaker 5>who allowed that, and that is disgraceful. And that's why

717
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:57.599
<v Speaker 5>the latest one in Revere, who was a friend of mine,

718
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:01.360
<v Speaker 5>who's a Revere lieutenant, they accompassed a ton of heroin

719
00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:06.360
<v Speaker 5>and sentinel last week and Revere, right, I mean it's dangerous.

720
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:07.000
<v Speaker 5>And that's the thing.

721
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Pelvis got thirty seconds. We got to go. No, I

722
00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:13.960
<v Speaker 2>agree with you. I think you're absolutely right. Look, I

723
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.920
<v Speaker 2>want people to come in here and start a new life.

724
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:19.639
<v Speaker 2>The border's got to change. It's just got to. It's

725
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.880
<v Speaker 2>it's just got to. Thanks buddy, great call. I appreciate it.

726
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Thanks everybody, Rob Brooks, Marita, you're the best. All right.

727
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:31.239
<v Speaker 2>I'll be back in February. This is WBZ. Take care.
