00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.919
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray WBS Costin's new radio.

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you, Dan Watkins. As we move into the

3
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>ten o'clock hour, it's in ten and eight and gonna

4
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 2>talk a little politics. It's only twenty twenty five, and

5
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>in a year from now we will be really moving

6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.039
<v Speaker 2>into the summer of an election year. But it's not

7
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 2>never too early to talk about politics. And there's an

8
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>interesting poll that was released this weekend. Actually it was

9
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 2>released on the twenty ninth of May, which is let's see,

10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that would have been last Thursday, by the

11
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 2>University of New Hampshire. And apparently they do a lot

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.240
<v Speaker 2>of polling at the University of New Hampshire, and they

13
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 2>did a very comprehensive poll here in Massachusetts, and it

14
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>dealt with a lot of issues, very in depth, which

15
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 2>again i'll just read to you a little bit of it,

16
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 2>and it's always tough on numbers, but we'll get to

17
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.719
<v Speaker 2>the heart of it. Massive they concluded that Massachusetts residents,

18
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>this is by the University of New Hampshire, what's called

19
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>State of Opinion Project. It's the Bay State Poll. Massachusetts

20
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>residence back Harvard in fight with Trump, but unsure on

21
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Healey and Marquee re elections. Governor Healey and Senator Markey

22
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 2>will stand for election in twenty twenty. Six stand for reelection,

23
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>and about a third of Massachusetts residents approve of President

24
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Trump's handling of the economy, foreign policy, and overall job performance.

25
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Majorities of base state who say that the US is

26
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>not doing enough to back Ukraine and that it is

27
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.599
<v Speaker 2>inappro brief for Trump to accept a jet from Cutter.

28
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Six in ten Massachusetts residents disapprove of Trump's administer of

29
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration's treatment of Harvard University, half of base

30
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>state of half of base Staters approve of Massachusetts Governor

31
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:27.719
<v Speaker 2>mar Healey's performance, and residents are about evenly divided on

32
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 2>whether she deserves to be re elected. Residents are less

33
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 2>likely to say that Senator Ed Markey deserves to be

34
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 2>re elected, and a majority of concerned about his age. Well,

35
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>when you look at the pole that we're talking about here,

36
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>we have the poll that deals with Governor Healy. Mar

37
00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Healey says she's seeking a second term as governor of Massachusetts.

38
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 2>There are many, by the way, who believe that if

39
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 2>she successfully is reelected as governor, that her eyes are

40
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 2>actually set a little further south in twenty twenty eight,

41
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>meaning the Potomac Washington Dcate. She's never going to admit that,

42
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>but that's fine, no problem. So, amongst the Massachusetts voters,

43
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven percent were asked about whether she deserves reelection.

44
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Only thirty seven percent said she deserves to be reelected.

45
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>That's not a huge number for an incumbent governor, particularly

46
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>an incumbent Democratic governor in a state like Massachusetts. Forty percent,

47
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>just a little more say she does not deserve to

48
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 2>be reelected. Now, again, numbers are difficult, but thirty seven

49
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>percent say she deserves to be reelected, forty percent say

50
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>she does not. That leaves a little less than a

51
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:27.439
<v Speaker 2>quarter who have no opinion. Now, amongst Democrats she does

52
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 2>very well sixty percent, but she's not even at fifty

53
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>percent amongst Democrats in terms of deserving to be re elected.

54
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Amongst Republicans, she has a fraction like four percent. But

55
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>here's where it gets interesting. Amongst independence, which is a

56
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 2>large group in Massachusetts, thirty two percent say she deserves

57
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to be reelected, So she doesn't do well amongst Independence,

58
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 2>and forty seven percent as of now says she does

59
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>not deserve to be reelected. Those numbers should worry the

60
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Healey administration and should worry Governor Healey. Amongst Marquee, numbers

61
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>are surprisingly similar, but a third of the voters think

62
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 2>that Ed Markey should be re elected. A higher group

63
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>forty three percent compared to forty percent with Governor Healey,

64
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 2>think that neither deserve to be re elected, and the

65
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>undecided vote is a little bigger on Markee twenty five percent.

66
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Amongst independent voters at Marquee, a majority believe he should

67
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>not be re elected. So that would suggest that even

68
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts, we might have we just might have a

69
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 2>competitive race in twenty twenty six for the two top

70
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 2>spots the Governor's seat the Beacon Hill the corner office

71
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 2>as it's called, and one of the Senates, one of

72
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the Senate seats. So what I want to do is

73
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to open up the phones and I'd like

74
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 2>to hear from Healey supporters or people who don't support Heally.

75
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know if there are people out there

76
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>who wanted to tell me if the election were held today,

77
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 2>would they vote to return Governor Healey to the Corner

78
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Office or would they look for either of the Republican candidates.

79
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>We've had the two Republican candidates on within the last

80
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>week or so. Actually, I think it was a little

81
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>longer than that. Lasted a couple of weeks we had

82
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Brian short Sleeve and Mike Kinneely, both of whom are

83
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 2>pretty impressive candidates, and they have raised some serious money.

84
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 2>They have a long way to go, obviously, and as

85
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.279
<v Speaker 2>a Republican you're always going to be an underdog in Massachusetts.

86
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>There's no Republican who officially has announced to run against

87
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Ed Markey. But this poll, which is again I think

88
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>a pretty comprehensive poll, in one that people will look at.

89
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>The headline in the Herald today, Healey's performance not popular,

90
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>new poll finds. So I just would love to hear

91
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>from some of you right now as to whether or

92
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>not if are you inclined to return Governor Healy for

93
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>another four years? Are you inclined to send Ed Markey

94
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>back to the US Senate for another six years, or

95
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.319
<v Speaker 2>are you going to look for some alternative? Now, again,

96
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>we don't know who would be the Republican nominee to

97
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>run against Markey, a little early for that, and we're

98
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>not sure which of these two Republicans, Brian Shortsleeve or

99
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 2>Mike Kenney, both of them, as they say, joined us

100
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.720
<v Speaker 2>last week, not last week the week before that, excuse me,

101
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.240
<v Speaker 2>So they were they were here with us in the

102
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>in the last the second last week of May six

103
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>one seven, two thirty six one seven, nine three one

104
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. Again, I just think this poll is interesting.

105
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised at the weakness that both of the incumbent

106
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Democrats seem to have. This is a comprehensive poll, and

107
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's based upon having looked at what I

108
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 2>call the internals. I think this is an accurate snapshot

109
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>in time. And I'd love to know if you have

110
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>always voted Democratic and you're going to vote Democratic again,

111
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 2>or if you have always voted Democratic and maybe want

112
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>to switch it up. Conversely, if you did not vote

113
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>for either Healey or Marque in their last elections, uh,

114
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 2>if you feel that, hey, they deserve reelection. I'm always

115
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>looking for people who are telling me that, uh, yeah,

116
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I was with them, I'm not anymore, or guess what

117
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I've come to to to light them more. Six one

118
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>seven two thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.

119
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>If if this topic is not one that lights it up.

120
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 2>There's a couple of other topics I can go to,

121
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>but this is one I'd like to try. I'd like

122
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>to see if my audience is it all aligned with

123
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 2>this poll.

124
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 3>Or not.

125
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>That's what we're talking about here at night Side. It's

126
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 2>the ten o'clock hour, Join the conversation, trying to keep

127
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 2>it positive and polite. That's what this show is all about. No, no

128
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 2>hitting below the belt. Okay, thanks very much. Moving back

129
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>on night Side with some phone calls right after this.

130

<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray one you BZ

131
00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Boston's news Radio.

132
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the phone is going to go first

133
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>off to John in den Him. Hey, John, welcome, first

134
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>up this hour and Nightside. Thanks for checking in. What's

135
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 2>your thought on Let's start with Governor Heally?

136
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 4>Well, before I comment on her quick question to my

137
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 4>own information, you had the State honor on the other

138
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.960
<v Speaker 4>night and I sar and Sham five. I think she's

139
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:27.200
<v Speaker 4>incredible about the about auditing the legislature. Yeah, yeah, correct,

140
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.639
<v Speaker 4>Where has Heally decided on what such? Do you know

141
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.200
<v Speaker 4>if Heally's lean on either side of my understanding?

142
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.919
<v Speaker 2>My understanding from the state auditor who's a Democrat, is

143
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 2>that Healey is not supporting her in her efforts. It's

144
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>sort of a you know, she's a constitutional officer as

145
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the state order. She's one of the six elected statewide,

146
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 2>as is heally, the governor, the Lieutenant governor of the

147
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 2>attorney general, the state auditor, the state treasurer, and I

148
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>missed and the Secretary of State. So you got there

149
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>are six people who are elected statewide. She was elected statewide.

150
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.399
<v Speaker 2>And also that there was a poll on that issue.

151
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>That's seventy two percent of the voters a ballot issue

152
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.840
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty two. Excuse me, in twenty twenty four,

153
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>wanted that the auditor to have the ability to audit

154
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 2>the state legislature, and the state legislator has frustrated audited

155
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Dizaglio and Governor Healy has not come out in favor

156
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>of an audit of the state legislature.

157
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.720
<v Speaker 4>So she did explain it very well on your TV.

158
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 4>And I'm sure, like a lot of voters, I'm not

159
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 4>too happy about that. But when you had to go

160
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.759
<v Speaker 4>to the topic of the evening, you had Brian Shortsleeve

161
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 4>on a week or two. Yeah, yeah, Alaria with them yeah.

162
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I had him and I had Mike Kennely on I

163
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>thought they both did very well. Shortly best known as

164
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 2>having been the interim head of the MBTA, and Kennealy

165
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>was a secretary, a cabinet secretary under Governor Baker, so

166
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 2>they both have genuine government experience, and I thought that

167
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 2>they both presented themselves very very impressively.

168
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 4>That was and it's basically information I have now, and

169
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 4>it's not a lot, but on that railing, I think

170
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 4>missus Shaw has definitely got my vote, and heally, I'm

171
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 4>just disappointed with where she's gone, especially recently watching them.

172
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 4>Not sure if you saw the press conference day with

173
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:43.039
<v Speaker 4>Ice and the arrests they made in Boston, and if

174
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.759
<v Speaker 4>even a fraction of that is true, if I remember

175
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 4>the primary responsiblity the government's protected citizens, and I think

176
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.080
<v Speaker 4>she failed miserably on that. If she played any part

177
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 4>in keeping these people from Ice and our cooperating with Ice,

178
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 4>that was I couldn't believe the statistics.

179
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, no, she has instructed the state police not

180
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 2>to cooperate with Ice, and they rely upon this Supreme

181
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Court decision called the Lund decision, which to me is

182
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>a very confusing decision and that goes it goes in

183
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.399
<v Speaker 2>direct contradiction, in my opinion of you, a Supreme Court decision,

184
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 2>the Arizona decision in twenty eleven, where basically the Supreme

185
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Court went and said that immigration law is preempted by

186
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 2>the federal government and they knocked down some efforts by

187
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.399
<v Speaker 2>a governor of Arizona at the time, Governor Brewer, to

188
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 2>have stricter laws they are actually a border state, and

189
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.559
<v Speaker 2>the Supreme Court said, nope, federal government is the one

190
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 2>who determines federal immigration law. And it just seems to me.

191
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 4>That regardless of the Court that the fact is that

192
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:04.080
<v Speaker 4>if he knew there's these criminals, convicted criminals, known criminals,

193
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.759
<v Speaker 4>and she's not turned them over, forget running gag. I

194
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.240
<v Speaker 4>think she should resign immediately.

195
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I don't think. I don't think that you

196
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 2>can prove or anyone can prove that Governor Healey or

197
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 2>any other public official has sheltered anyone. I'm sure that

198
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>there are some pretty bad people who have come to

199
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts because it's perceived as a sanctuary state.

200
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.240
<v Speaker 4>State police not to cooperate with ice.

201
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think that's very clear. She appoints the

202
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>state police commander, the commandant of the of this of

203
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Speaker 2>what they call the colonel of the state police here

204
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts. And that's that's true. Let me ask you,

205
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.159
<v Speaker 2>did you vote for her last time around or were

206
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:46.759
<v Speaker 2>you not a supporter?

207
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 4>I was not a supporter. Okay, I'll vote Democratic a

208
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 4>pay up again. I don't care about the party. I'll

209
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:53.399
<v Speaker 4>vote for who I think is best.

210
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:55.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay. But what I'm saying is so she's not losing

211
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 2>a vote with you, is the point I'm trying to make.

212
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, John, But go ahead. I'm sorry. Did I

213
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.559
<v Speaker 2>interrupt you?

214
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

215
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, sorry, real quick. I'll just say say this. I

216
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.360
<v Speaker 4>just asked you, if the Massachusetts voters do your homework,

217
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 4>do your due diligence, don't just vote on the party lines.

218
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.639
<v Speaker 4>Just don't vote for somebody because you voted from all

219
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 4>your life at the parties. I wish just these people

220
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 4>would just do their due diligence before they make their vote.

221
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, they're they're they're more than half the

222
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>voters in Massachusetts are now registered as unenrolled. I think

223
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats have about thirty five percent roughly, and the

224
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Republicans have like eleven percent and more than half are

225
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 2>now unenrolled voters. They they make up the largest a

226
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:49.480
<v Speaker 2>group of affiliated voters. So both parties neither party is

227
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:54.320
<v Speaker 2>attracting the loyal voters of what of times past? And

228
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>this this poll is I think raises some pretty serious

229
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.879
<v Speaker 2>questions as to whether or not some money might come

230
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>in here on this campaign upcoming, because if any one

231
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:11.039
<v Speaker 2>of these campaigns are considered to be a fool's errand well,

232
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the money stays out of the race.

233
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 2>But once it appears that maybe in company is a

234
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 2>little bit more vulnerable than they were expected, then money

235
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>comes in. And whoever wins the Republican nomination, whether it's

236
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.639
<v Speaker 2>short sleeve, your guy or kneely, will have I think

237
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 2>more money to handle. And of course heally will get

238
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.399
<v Speaker 2>more money because the Democrats will want to hold a seat.

239
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's going to get interesting. And where this is

240
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>the first time we've touched it today only because the

241
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 2>UNH has released this poll. If you get a chance

242
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 2>to read the poll, it's a really, I think a

243
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 2>solid interesting poll, and that's why I'm bringing it to

244
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.799
<v Speaker 2>everyone's attention tonight Tough One Radio to talk numbers. But

245
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.840
<v Speaker 2>thanks for joining us. John very much appreciated. Thanks talk again,

246
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.120
<v Speaker 2>good night. All right, we're going to take quick break here.

247
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:58.039
<v Speaker 2>I got wide open lines. Well, I'm going to go

248
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 2>to Stephen Worcester next, and I got in line six one,

249
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 2>seven two, five four ten thirty or six months, seven

250
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. I think politics is a

251
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>sport here in Massachusetts, right along with baseball, football, hockey,

252
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and basketball. And I think that this poll, maybe you

253
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.160
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen it, I've reported it to you directly. It

254
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>would seem to me that Governor Healy has some work

255
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.799
<v Speaker 2>to do if she wants to get re elected. I

256
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 2>don't think that that she is in huge trouble at

257
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 2>the moment, but I think that the rumblings are there

258
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.200
<v Speaker 2>in this poll. I'd love to get your take on it.

259
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Feel free you have the number six one seven two,

260
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 2>five four to ten thirty or six months seven nine

261
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.119
<v Speaker 2>three one ten thirty. The question is pretty simple. Governor

262
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Marra Heally does she deserve to be re elected? Senator

263
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Ed Markey does he deserve to be re elected? This

264
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>is an overwhelmingly democratic state, There's no question about that.

265
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.720
<v Speaker 2>We really have two major parties in Massachusetts, the Democrats

266
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>and the unenrolled. The Republicans are a fraction of what

267
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.200
<v Speaker 2>each of those are. Feel free to join the conversation.

268
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 2>We'll carry this maybe until eleven o'clock I'd like to,

269
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and if not, we'll we'll move on to something else.

270
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.599
<v Speaker 2>We're coming right back on Night Side. It's Night Side.

271
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Boston's news Radio.

272
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Dan Watkins. We will get to the Karen

273
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Reid trial, not tonight, but probably sometime later this week

274
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:39.680
<v Speaker 2>because now the defense ran into some choppy waters today.

275
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to see how that works out. Okay, let's

276
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>keep rolling here. We're talking about a poll out of

277
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 2>the University of New Hampshire that, interestingly enough, showed that

278
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts, Donald Trump's approval rating had gone up a

279
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>point from March. Interesting. I would that surprises me a

280
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:08.039
<v Speaker 2>little bit. After all of the tariffs, et cetera, and

281
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.000
<v Speaker 2>his disapproval rating went down. He still is two to one,

282
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 2>on the wrong side of two to one here. But

283
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:23.000
<v Speaker 2>in that same poll, there's suggestions that perhaps Governor Heally

284
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:27.319
<v Speaker 2>and Senator Marky may not have a cake walk to

285
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.559
<v Speaker 2>re election and may actually have a problem coming up.

286
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's see what people think gonna go next to Steve

287
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 2>in Worcester. Got a couple of lines open if you

288
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 2>want to join us. Steve, you are next on Nightside.

289
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.119
<v Speaker 3>Welcome, Hi Dan, Thanks thanks for taking my call. Thanks,

290
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 3>I've listened many times. I appreciate your program and the

291
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 3>way that you get in depth into issues.

292
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

293
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.240
<v Speaker 3>I think I think I think the problem with Heally

294
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 3>is that she is just following the party notion that

295
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.480
<v Speaker 3>we should be an empathetic, sympathetic, open arm country and

296
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:06.119
<v Speaker 3>welcome anybody in. It's almost like something religious. We've learned

297
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.240
<v Speaker 3>after nine to eleven and other events that you have

298
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.599
<v Speaker 3>to pay more attention. I don't think people walk into

299
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 3>your house unannounced if you don't know them, and the

300
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 3>country should be the same way. I'm for immigration. I

301
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 3>own a business that's filled full of immigrants. They're legal,

302
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:29.839
<v Speaker 3>they're hardworking, they're great people, but they're not criminals.

303
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:31.200
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

304
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.119
<v Speaker 3>I think that the last three administrations, Biden and the

305
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 3>two Obamas, they talk tough, but it's been kind of

306
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 3>an open door, especially with Biden.

307
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I think you're right on, especially with Biden.

308
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Because President Obama deported I think about three million people.

309
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:52.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. It doesn't get talked about much. She

310
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:53.559
<v Speaker 3>did deport a lot.

311
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I left so unhappy with him. And as a

312
00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.400
<v Speaker 2>matter of fact, the left, many in the left, on

313
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 2>the hard left, nicknamed him the deporter in chief. Whether

314
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:09.440
<v Speaker 2>or not Donald Trump wrest that title from President Obama

315
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>former President Obama, remains to be seen. So did you

316
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.559
<v Speaker 2>have you? Did you ever support Heally? So you're not

317
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 2>a vote that's leaving Healey here?

318
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.119
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm not.

319
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.599
<v Speaker 2>And what's your thought on Markey? I mean, Markey has

320
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.640
<v Speaker 2>the complication also of he'll be seventy nine when he

321
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 2>runs for reelection, and that apparently that's not a concern

322
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 2>for Heally. She's not anywhere close to that. But that's

323
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:35.559
<v Speaker 2>for Markey as well.

324
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Markey is just a Marky is just a career politician,

325
00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:43.119
<v Speaker 3>and he he follows his mind as to what he

326
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:47.480
<v Speaker 3>thinks is important. And in this state, you know what

327
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 3>this state is. I've lived here my whole life, and

328
00:21:50.839 --> 00:21:55.759
<v Speaker 3>I can't say too often I vote for if I

329
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 3>want to stay in business.

330
00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, I know I get that, but well

331
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that they can do anything to you

332
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 2>in terms of business. But the point is that Massachusetts,

333
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 2>in my lifetime and in your lifetime. You think about

334
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Governor Baker, you think about Governor Romney, Governor Governor Salucci,

335
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 2>acting Governor Swift, Governor weld Ed King was a governor

336
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:22.400
<v Speaker 2>and he was a very different type of Democrat. Frank

337
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Sergeant was governor. John Volpi was governor. We've had a

338
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 2>lot of Republican governors in Massachusetts.

339
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.599
<v Speaker 3>My father told me when I was a little boy

340
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 3>that the governors in this state are quite often Republican,

341
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 3>even though everything else is democratic, because the governor is

342
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.559
<v Speaker 3>in charge of finances more than you know the congressional people.

343
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Right. And what I'm saying is, but if you look

344
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.759
<v Speaker 2>at these poll numbers from the University of New Hampshire Pole,

345
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>which has came out last week, Heally's got a potential

346
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.799
<v Speaker 2>problem here. I mean, if I'm if I'm Healey's campaign manager,

347
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at these numbers and say, WHOA, I don't

348
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:10.480
<v Speaker 2>like what I see here, And maybe that maybe voters

349
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.799
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts republican and independence primarily Democrats are going to

350
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.799
<v Speaker 2>pretty much stay in line, as this poll indicates. But

351
00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:31.640
<v Speaker 2>even even overall amongst Democratic voters, there's there's a there's

352
00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 2>eleven percent of Democratic voters, which is not a lot,

353
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:39.480
<v Speaker 2>but eleven percent of Democratic voters who say Governor Healy

354
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:42.039
<v Speaker 2>does not deserve to be elected. That's a number, and

355
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.079
<v Speaker 2>forty seven percent of independence, which is a big number,

356
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.799
<v Speaker 2>certainly amongst Republicans. It's eighty three percent. You take those

357
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.960
<v Speaker 2>numbers today, and that is a If those numbers were

358
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.559
<v Speaker 2>to hold or to get worse, she would not be reelected.

359
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.880
<v Speaker 3>I understand what you're doing, and I agree with you.

360
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:09.000
<v Speaker 3>She's she's following the whims of her heart and the people, yep,

361
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 3>and just doing whatever she wants to do and snubbing

362
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 3>her nose at the federal government. All right, look what

363
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.839
<v Speaker 3>this ants did to Martha's vineyard or Nantucket wherever he

364
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:25.480
<v Speaker 3>sent that plane at Martha's vineyard, Wake up Massachusetts.

365
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Martha's video on the Dame Martha's Vineyard, welcomed those immigrants

366
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>for about great for thirty six hours, and they put

367
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>them on a bus to the Cape, you know, which

368
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.640
<v Speaker 2>was I thought disgraceful at the time, But that's I

369
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:43.519
<v Speaker 2>tend to see things a little differently sometimes, Steve, thank you,

370
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>thank you for your call. Always great here from Worcester.

371
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.319
<v Speaker 3>Thank you much, thank you very much. Thank you.

372
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>Dan okay six one seven, two, five four ten thirty

373
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:51.640
<v Speaker 2>if you want to get in or six one seven

374
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.839
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. Let me go to Greg

375
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>in Dorchester. Greg, welcome back. How are you, sir?

376
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 5>Hey Ken, thanks for taking away Carl.

377
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 2>You're welcome. Did you have a good dorchesterday on Sunday?

378
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.160
<v Speaker 5>I didn't even go to it. I used to go

379
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 5>years ago. With things to change, I mean the younger crowd.

380
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:11.319
<v Speaker 2>And that's okay, that's wrong with that.

381
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.319
<v Speaker 5>So and I live on the other side of them,

382
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:16.480
<v Speaker 5>not too far from college hype there, I'm up her

383
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 5>own crocodile.

384
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Are exactly where that is. I'd had my friend jacked

385
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 2>already on the other night.

386
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, great guy, great guy.

387
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 2>So what do you what do you think? I know

388
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.519
<v Speaker 2>you probably haven't read this poll, but I've tried to

389
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 2>give you. It's always tough to talk numbers, but just

390
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:34.839
<v Speaker 2>give you a sense that there's a lot in this poll.

391
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.960
<v Speaker 2>If I were mar Heally, I'd be a little concerned

392
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:39.559
<v Speaker 2>about these.

393
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:42.799
<v Speaker 5>Numbers, and be concerned, and I'd be happy. I'd be

394
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:43.720
<v Speaker 5>happy to see her go.

395
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Really. Yeah, have you voted for her before? No? Okay,

396
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:55.119
<v Speaker 2>so you're not you're not going to cost her a vote.

397
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 5>That's sorry. I couldn't vote for her.

398
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.359
<v Speaker 2>For what about what about Marky Senator Markey?

399
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 5>He should have signed.

400
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you want him out before twenty twenty six?

401
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.440
<v Speaker 5>Oah, yeah, I think Kennedy will come up. And I

402
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:15.880
<v Speaker 5>think here, I've been their own politicians for a long

403
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 5>time and that year and Mary Walls is getting kendebitch

404
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:23.279
<v Speaker 5>and he might rule against Macre, either him or Charlie Baker.

405
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Baker's going to give up. Baker's making

406
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>eleven million dollars as I understand it with the NCAA,

407
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:30.799
<v Speaker 2>and I think.

408
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.599
<v Speaker 5>That Dnnie Walsh is making big money too, but he's not.

409
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Making he's making supposed he's supposed he making three which

410
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.799
<v Speaker 2>is big money, don't get me wrong, but it's it's

411
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>that's about a quarter of the eleven that Bakers make.

412
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:45.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

413
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.680
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't the political thing there About a month ago

414
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.400
<v Speaker 5>a fundraiser I won't mention the name, friend, friend of yours, okay,

415
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:57.400
<v Speaker 5>And I was talking to that guy close to Marie Walsh,

416
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:00.359
<v Speaker 5>and he told me he was getting kind of witchy.

417
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.160
<v Speaker 5>He's like he'd like to try something else.

418
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I think, well, you know the thing about money wa

419
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 2>wash is one. He's a lot younger than people think,

420
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 2>meaning he was mayor for a long time. Yeah, but

421
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 2>he's in his early fifties if I'm correct here.

422
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.240
<v Speaker 5>Okay, that's right, you're right.

423
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and uh and sometimes uh, people in their early

424
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:25.079
<v Speaker 2>fifties say, you know what, I've done this long enough.

425
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think it's tough to walk away.

426
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:30.319
<v Speaker 2>I think he likes the job that he has. I

427
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:30.759
<v Speaker 2>don't think.

428
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. I know him for a long time.

429
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm a friend that I remember when he was dying. Oh,

430
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:39.240
<v Speaker 5>I know, he had leukemi and I used to visit

431
00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:42.400
<v Speaker 5>him in the hospital. He used to speak peace and them.

432
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.680
<v Speaker 5>Hospital foods is terrible, but he was very sick. Yeah,

433
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 5>and he's a great, great grind. The family, the family,

434
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:51.319
<v Speaker 5>a great, great family altogether.

435
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 2>No, I came. I came to like Mayor Walls a lot,

436
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:58.119
<v Speaker 2>and he's.

437
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:00.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, mat he should should. I was to guard the shirt,

438
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:05.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean miss Ricardo. All of them crowded like I

439
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:07.359
<v Speaker 5>think Mary Walsh had a story and the goal there

440
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:09.720
<v Speaker 5>a couple of weeks ago. Got the trouble with the

441
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:12.920
<v Speaker 5>Democrats is they didn't have a they didn't have a message,

442
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:14.319
<v Speaker 5>and they don't have a message.

443
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, I'm looking back on that race and

444
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying to myself, how was it that Harris the

445
00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:27.920
<v Speaker 2>vice president picked the guy from Minnesota who turned out

446
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.759
<v Speaker 2>to be a buffet? Yeah? Matter of fact, he Oh,

447
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:35.640
<v Speaker 2>if I can find this here real quickly, I want

448
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I want to play this for you because you'll get

449
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>a kick out of this. Rob. There's one sound bite

450
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to find here real quickly, and Rob, if

451
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:51.720
<v Speaker 2>you can pull cut number sixteen, this is a hysterical

452
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:54.759
<v Speaker 2>sound by This is Tim Walls. I want to know

453
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:56.759
<v Speaker 2>how the people of Minnesota. And by the way, I've

454
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:02.480
<v Speaker 2>spoken recently with some Democrats who just saying the same thing.

455
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I am, why did did Harris not pick Governor Shapiro

456
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:10.279
<v Speaker 2>of Pennsylvania who was a very a competent and accomplished

457
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>governor in a really important state. This is Tim Waltz

458
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:19.359
<v Speaker 2>in South Carolina at a Democratic convention. They save the

459
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.920
<v Speaker 2>road to the White House. The Democratic Party runs through

460
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:25.839
<v Speaker 2>South Carolina. Just listen to this guy. I want to

461
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.200
<v Speaker 2>get your reaction in just one minute. Greg, Just listen

462
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 2>to what he has to say this is Walts sixteen.

463
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.559
<v Speaker 6>Rubb I called Donald Trump a wanna be dictator.

464
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>It's because he is. It's because he is.

465
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh, the governor's being mean, and the governor's speaking out

466
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:50.160
<v Speaker 6>on that. Well, maybe it's time for us to be

467
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.359
<v Speaker 6>a little meaner. Maybe it's time for us to be

468
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 6>a little more fierce, because we have to ferociously push

469
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.480
<v Speaker 6>back on this. And again, I'll speak to my teacher

470
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.160
<v Speaker 6>colleagues in here. The thing that bothers a teacher more

471
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 6>than anything is to watch a bully, to watch this bully.

472
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 2>And to stop it.

473
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:13.720
<v Speaker 6>And when it's a child, you talk to him and

474
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.640
<v Speaker 6>you tell them why bullying is wrong. But when it's adult,

475
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.319
<v Speaker 6>like Donald Trump, you bully the out of him. Back,

476
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 6>you push back, You make sure they know it's not there.

477
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Because at heart, at heart, this is a weak, cruel

478
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:31.559
<v Speaker 2>man that takes.

479
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 6>It out and punches down on people.

480
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

481
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:37.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh, she take it.

482
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.519
<v Speaker 5>She'd take a different the Black River near Mallows Bliss.

483
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 2>I gotta tell you if the Democrats are crazy enough

484
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to endure us to have him on the ticket again. Uh,

485
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:50.200
<v Speaker 2>he was, he was.

486
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 5>I think he's mistake they made down Rick's Tim Kane

487
00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:00.680
<v Speaker 5>was this was the I.

488
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Came from Virginia, but he wasn't. Maybe he didn't add

489
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 2>much to the ticket nothing, that's a thing. Yeah, But

490
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I think Governor Shapiro would have been a much better choice.

491
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.359
<v Speaker 5>He definitely would. He would have probably carried Pennsylvania for him.

492
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.640
<v Speaker 2>About that, yeah, you know, And I think that he

493
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 2>was much more sophistical. Waltz comes across like just to me,

494
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.000
<v Speaker 2>he's like a goober. I mean, he was, He's a phony.

495
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.920
<v Speaker 2>He's a guy that wanted to let people think he

496
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:30.359
<v Speaker 2>was a pheasant hunter and he couldn't load a shotgun

497
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and uh, and then that he really wasn't a football coach.

498
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 5>I just you know, I mean the way I look

499
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:39.519
<v Speaker 5>at a lot of people who are with me. I

500
00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:44.519
<v Speaker 5>don't like the politics, no more a religion. But Donald

501
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 5>Trump now fairness, he will, he will, he will fair

502
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.200
<v Speaker 5>and square. The people in the United States voted for him,

503
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 5>and they voted for him, and I think he's doing

504
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:56.160
<v Speaker 5>a good job.

505
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Well.

506
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I think that poll suggests that maybe his uh, I

507
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.440
<v Speaker 2>think he's had a I think he had some shaking

508
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:06.240
<v Speaker 2>time in early April, but I think that these he

509
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 2>settled it down. We'll see, we'll see, I'll criticize him

510
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>when they do something wrong. Greg, you can count on that. Thanks,

511

<v Speaker 5>Uh.

530
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe a year from now we'll say, hey, that was

531
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.559
<v Speaker 2>a harbinger of things to come. And I first heard

532
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:18.279
<v Speaker 2>about it all night so let me go to Bill

533
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 2>in Pennsylvania. Hey, Bill, welcome back. COI buddy, how you doing.

534
00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:27.799
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing. I'm doing good, Dan, Yeah, I uh, I

535
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 4>listened to you all the time because a lot of

536
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:32.440
<v Speaker 4>a lot of real news. Okay, I can get from

537
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker 4>w b Z and I can't get from any of

538
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.119
<v Speaker 4>these other legacy medias. That's for sure. That poll, that

539
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:42.480
<v Speaker 4>poll is is uh we uh down here in Pennsylvania.

540
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:46.359
<v Speaker 4>I get a feeling that it's the same thing that

541
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 4>that Trump has gone up maybe a point or two.

542
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:53.119
<v Speaker 4>I think there's there's my My theory is this, Dan,

543
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 4>that across the board. Okay, people have got to look

544
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.559
<v Speaker 4>at the bull faith lies that we've been told that

545
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, I mean, it's just one after the next,

546
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:06.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, and the ones that the ones that really,

547
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:10.519
<v Speaker 4>uh I think have changed people's opinions was the border

548
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.119
<v Speaker 4>is closed. That's one of them. Okay. The other the

549
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:17.679
<v Speaker 4>other one is he's sharp as attack. That's another one.

550
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 4>And I think that uh, you know, all along the

551
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 4>way Trump said what he was gonna do, and now

552
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:26.480
<v Speaker 4>he's in there. Okay, I can say I got a

553
00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:28.679
<v Speaker 4>buddy in Philly. I got a buddy in Pittsburgh. And

554
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.480
<v Speaker 4>both of them the same thing. One's one's uh, real Democrat,

555
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:34.679
<v Speaker 4>the other one's kind of uh he dropped out of

556
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:37.119
<v Speaker 4>Democrat party and he calls himself an independent.

557
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.920
<v Speaker 5>But you know what they like.

558
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 4>They like law and order. And when they see uh,

559
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 4>these uh real criminals being rounded up and kick the

560
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 4>hell out of here, Okay, that goes down well with them,

561
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:53.039
<v Speaker 4>and it and and the women, okay, really like it.

562
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:57.719
<v Speaker 2>So I think that well, I think I think the

563
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.119
<v Speaker 2>point you make it is an interesting point, and and

564
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 2>let me just just echo a little bit of it.

565
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that when the administration keeps their focus on

566
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 2>MS thirteen, Trende de Agua, the Venezuelan gang and people

567
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 2>who have been convicted or have been charged with, you know,

568
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:26.599
<v Speaker 2>sex trafficking child, you know, pedophilia, there's a lot of

569
00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:30.559
<v Speaker 2>these crimes that are pretty bizarre, okay. And they saw

570
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the crimes last fall when the NFL football players were

571
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:39.199
<v Speaker 2>playing and their homes were being broken into and they

572
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:42.599
<v Speaker 2>were arrest made in those cases. I mean, there are

573
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:46.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people who were victimized by crime, never

574
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:49.320
<v Speaker 2>mind the people who have lost their lives. And I

575
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.840
<v Speaker 2>think that and I think that the Trump administration to

576
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:59.920
<v Speaker 2>be critical sometimes they it's like, let the aten U

577
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.039
<v Speaker 2>could deal with the aten year old kid. This kid's

578
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:04.519
<v Speaker 2>an eighteen year old kid going to Milford High School.

579
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:08.079
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing in his background that suggests that he's a

580
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:12.880
<v Speaker 2>gangbanger or anything like that. The toughs University student. I'm

581
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 2>sure you saw the video many times of the woman

582
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:18.639
<v Speaker 2>who was arrested. She wrote a stupid editorial in a

583
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:23.079
<v Speaker 2>stupid college newspaper and I read it, and believe me,

584
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.400
<v Speaker 2>there's nobody who's more pro Israel in the media in

585
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Boston than I'd like to think I am. And tomorrow night.

586
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to get to it tonight, but I wanted

587
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:35.519
<v Speaker 2>to let that story percolate. What happened out in Bola,

588
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Colorado yesterday is appalling, is absolutely appalling, and we'll get

589
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:45.119
<v Speaker 2>to that. And when you combine out what happened to

590
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the two members of the Israeli embassy down in Washington

591
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:53.199
<v Speaker 2>last week, we shot to death. I mean, this stuff

592
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:57.480
<v Speaker 2>is just happening with too much frequency, and we as

593
00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:59.599
<v Speaker 2>a nation need to stand up to it, you know,

594
00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 2>we really do.

595
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:04.320
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, absolutely, And the other thing Dan that I

596
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.559
<v Speaker 4>think is really kind of percolating underneath is this Jake

597
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Tapper book. Now I'm not a big Jake Tapper fan,

598
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:13.840
<v Speaker 4>all right, but him and the guy from Axios that

599
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:18.039
<v Speaker 4>wrote this book. If you notice that hardly, you know,

600
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:21.159
<v Speaker 4>it's only getting publicized, and I mean it's only getting

601
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:26.079
<v Speaker 4>airtime certain places. But okay, when we find out that.

602
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:29.599
<v Speaker 4>And the other thing was what really you know, when

603
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:32.280
<v Speaker 4>he kept saying, well, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

604
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:34.360
<v Speaker 4>pardon my son Hunter, I'm not gonna do that.

605
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think he remembered saying what he said.

606
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.360
<v Speaker 2>But but beyond that, by the way, Uh, I'd love

607
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.639
<v Speaker 2>to get Tapper or his co author on and talk

608
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.559
<v Speaker 2>about it. Uh. You know, they all they have to

609
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:51.480
<v Speaker 2>do is give us a call and will and we

610
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:52.360
<v Speaker 2>will have them all.

611
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:56.000
<v Speaker 4>They should they they should, Yeah, no, they should. They

612
00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:58.719
<v Speaker 4>should come on w b Z and and uh And

613
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:00.559
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you got a lot of people out here

614
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:02.599
<v Speaker 4>would would like to hear what they had to say, and.

615
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:04.320
<v Speaker 2>We reach a lot of people, and we do it

616
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.800
<v Speaker 2>in depth. You know, if they go on a lot

617
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of it's like a thirty second sound bite. No, well,

618
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I would we would go into some some depth on it.

619
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.119
<v Speaker 2>That's for sure. Hey, Bill, I appreciate you all.

620
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.119
<v Speaker 4>And I think yep, and I think all these lies, okay,

621
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:19.119
<v Speaker 4>are hurting a Democrat party.

622
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Dan Well, I don't think they're helping him, that's for sure.

623
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:24.199
<v Speaker 2>And we'll have to see how it works out here

624
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:28.159
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts. Ending up, is Shapiro up for reelection next

625
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 2>year or no? Uh?

626
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.079
<v Speaker 4>Governor Well, I tell you, I know Fetterman's coming up

627
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:35.679
<v Speaker 4>for a re election next year, I believe.

628
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:41.480
<v Speaker 2>But the way spoke today in Boston, I think Fetterman

629
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:44.679
<v Speaker 2>has uh is more impressive than I initially thought. To

630
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, he was up here.

631
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:48.119
<v Speaker 4>He was really hurting, for certain when he first came

632
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:50.719
<v Speaker 4>on the scene. But I wouldn't be a bit surprised

633
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 4>if if McCormick doesn't convince him to do switch sides.

634
00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think that's going to happen. But McCormick

635
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.960
<v Speaker 2>and Fetterman spoke today at the Kennedy Institute here in Boston. Hey,

636
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I got a run, Bill, Thank you much. We'll talk

637
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:05.800
<v Speaker 2>to have a good one. Take it easy, Oh we

638
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.039
<v Speaker 2>come back. I want to talk about Ukraine and an

639
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:12.519
<v Speaker 2>amazing attack that they were able to execute on Russia,

640
00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and I hope you want to talk about that. We'll

641
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:17.840
<v Speaker 2>be back right after the eleven o'clock News
