Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray. I'm telling you easy Boston
Speaker 1: News Radio.
Speaker 2: And the Celtics move on. What great news for all
Speaker 2: the Celtics fans. My name is Dan Ray, and this
Speaker 2: is Nightside. We're talking about issues tonight, including the first
Speaker 2: one hundred days of the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: How do you think it's gone?
Speaker 2: Last hour, we talked about some of the changes in
Speaker 2: that are taking place at Harvard under pressure from the
Speaker 2: Trump administration. Uh, and we've had really two very good
Speaker 2: hours on that. So we're going to keep rolling on this,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to bring back i Leen from Wallfam
Speaker 2: who was asking the question I guess, which is really
Speaker 2: a fundamental question of how is it that a lot
Speaker 2: of these private universities are receiving funds in the first place?
Speaker 2: I think that's what you're asking Eileen.
Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, definitely. Well, I think what happens is out there,
Speaker 4: and I worked in one of those Latin in IH
Speaker 4: funded labs, and let's just say they weren't as sufficient
Speaker 4: as what they could be.
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right, and you're probably being honest
Speaker 2: about that. But what happens is, over time, government always grows,
Speaker 2: government gets bigger, very rarely is anything ever eliminated from government.
Speaker 2: And as a matter of fact, the rule of thumb
Speaker 2: is that if you are a program that is funded
Speaker 2: and towards the end of the year you look and
Speaker 2: oh my god, you have actually money left over in
Speaker 2: the in your account, you spend that as quickly as
Speaker 2: you can. Because if you are being funded with let's say,
Speaker 2: I don't know, just pick a number, fifty billion dollars
Speaker 2: and you've got ten billion dollars left over in your account,
Speaker 2: it's possible that they might try to cut your money
Speaker 2: next year.
Speaker 3: So it just government grows like tops.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's true, and I think that's what what
Speaker 2: Doge and what Musk have tried to do. But I
Speaker 2: don't think they've done it effectively. I don't think they've
Speaker 2: done it efficiently. And I think that Musk standing up
Speaker 2: on stage with some sort of a power saw was
Speaker 2: just exactly the image that the Democrats.
Speaker 3: Were looking for.
Speaker 2: It was almost as if he wanted to submarine, uh no,
Speaker 2: undermine everything that he had tried to accomplish. You know,
Speaker 2: I look at, for example, I look at the election
Speaker 2: that was that was announced yesterday last night in Canada.
Speaker 2: The Mark Kearney, the new Prime Minister of Canada. He
Speaker 2: didn't win that election. Donald Trump handed it to him
Speaker 2: on a silver platter. I mean, all the crazy talk
Speaker 2: will make go make connect Canada the fifty first state.
Speaker 2: And they probably were eleven people up there who said
Speaker 2: that's a good idea, yeah, and all the the other
Speaker 2: people said no, way, heck no, and they've decided I'm
Speaker 2: not going to vote for some of the Trump whites.
Speaker 2: He basically helped to elect the guy last night. I don't
Speaker 2: understand Trump sometimes, I really don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well nobody.
Speaker 3: Does, so, Yeah, I guess that's a problem.
Speaker 1: That's all.
Speaker 4: That's a whole alarsia itself.
Speaker 3: But it's your it's your congress, Congress.
Speaker 4: Basically, it's irresponsible, well irresponsible.
Speaker 2: We keep responding, you keep sending back to Congress the
Speaker 2: same people for the most part, and you're going to
Speaker 2: get the same results.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, uh, but.
Speaker 2: We don't really we love our we love our own congressman.
Speaker 2: There are some congressmen who I really like and I
Speaker 2: think that they're doing a great job. There's there's probably
Speaker 2: no congressman who I agree with totally, but but there
Speaker 2: are some who are just I think insane. Look at
Speaker 2: this guy out in Detroit who now wants to file
Speaker 2: articles of impeachment against Trump. How do that work out
Speaker 2: the first time? Democrats?
Speaker 3: Huh? How many people want to get on that train?
Speaker 6: Like me?
Speaker 4: It's just hate. It's just hate, hate, and more hate.
Speaker 4: So it's it's you can't. It's almost impossible to abate it.
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right. I think you're probably right.
Speaker 2: I leave this always, thank you so much for calling.
Speaker 4: I think one quick comment on on Harvard yep. If
Speaker 4: they there's so much propaganda and misinformation, be as fewed
Speaker 4: out there, okay, I mean the facts are totally different.
Speaker 4: What's being said. Give is the not the oppressor, not
Speaker 4: the imperialist iranist. They've taken over Syria, two or three
Speaker 4: different countries.
Speaker 2: I think that it is. There was a report today.
Speaker 2: There was a report today. If you listened in the
Speaker 2: ten o'clock hour, I was reading from the report.
Speaker 3: There's a New York.
Speaker 2: Times article tomorrow that basically Harvard promises changes. This is
Speaker 2: the New York Times. It will be in tomorrow's paper.
Speaker 2: It cleared at three fifty seven this afternoon by Enomena,
Speaker 2: Heart of Callis and Vimal Patel, Harvard promises changes after
Speaker 2: reports on anti Semitism and Islamophobia, and they found that
Speaker 2: there was a lot on that campus. These two reports
Speaker 2: were disgraceful, and as a result, Harvard's president has says
Speaker 2: Harvard cannot and will not abide bigotry. This was a brutal,
Speaker 2: brutal assessment by the people who Harvard hired.
Speaker 4: Can say, they can say they won't at all, but
Speaker 4: all of this time, being a school of education, higher education,
Speaker 4: shouldn't they have made an effort to say, to set
Speaker 4: the stat straight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but deren Claudine Gay as the president of Harvard,
Speaker 2: who didn't who couldn't even define or or identify anti semitism.
Speaker 2: She's a brilliant scholar, and she was the president of Harvard,
Speaker 2: and she was decimated.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, she's not brilliant if she can't see the audius.
Speaker 2: Well, she was the president of Harvard. I would think
Speaker 2: that most people, in order to become president of Harvard
Speaker 2: would be would be you would consider them brilliant. She
Speaker 2: couldn't define or recognize anti semitism. She's no longer the
Speaker 2: president of Harvard.
Speaker 3: She was destroyed at that congressional hearing in December twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three. She disgraced herself.
Speaker 2: She disgraced herself as she disgraced your university.
Speaker 7: But definitely, But I mean.
Speaker 4: They haven't done anything to dissuade misinformation.
Speaker 3: Good augh.
Speaker 2: I think you've made that point now three times, and
Speaker 2: I think it was equally valid. The third time is
Speaker 2: the first two times. Thank you, Eileen. I appreciate your call.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Bye bye.
Speaker 3: We'll take a quick.
Speaker 2: Break six one seven, six, one seven, two, five, four
Speaker 2: ten thirty six one seven, nine three, one, ten thirty.
Speaker 3: What sort of a gride would you give Donald Trump?
Speaker 3: One hundred days?
Speaker 2: That's the hypothetical market when the honeymoon ends. Donald Trump
Speaker 2: never had a honeymoon with the mainstream media, There's no
Speaker 2: doubt about that. What sort of a grade would you
Speaker 2: give him? Has he done anything well in your opinion?
Speaker 2: Has he done anything wrong in your opinion? We'll be
Speaker 2: back on Nightside joined the conversation after this.
Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w b
Speaker 1: Z Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: By the way, the Democrats are just pathetic at this
Speaker 2: point in terms of politics.
Speaker 3: So you have this is Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 2: Talking about Trump intimidating judges. Roll please play cut three,
Speaker 2: please please.
Speaker 8: They're trying to intimidate judges. This is not the first
Speaker 8: time or the second they've said they want to impeach judges.
Speaker 8: They said they're going to go after judges who don't
Speaker 8: agree with them. That is so against the constitution. What Trump,
Speaker 8: Beyondy and the whole Justice Department are trying to do
Speaker 8: is push the judge, threaten that judge, so the judge
Speaker 8: is no longer impartial.
Speaker 9: It is outrageous.
Speaker 8: You cannot have a democracy without an independent judiciary, and
Speaker 8: they're trying to clip the wings of that independence.
Speaker 3: Now there is Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 2: He is a man of integrity and he is concerned
Speaker 2: about the intimidation of judges.
Speaker 3: He's the leader.
Speaker 2: He's a fearless leader of the Democratic Party, a man
Speaker 2: to be admired and who has integrity. Is cut This
Speaker 2: is Chuck Schumer just a couple of years ago, threatening
Speaker 2: Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. But this wasn't trying to
Speaker 2: intimidate the judge. This was trying to simply, I'm sure
Speaker 2: in Chuck Schumer's mind, show them the proper way. Cut
Speaker 2: three a rob.
Speaker 3: They're taking away fundamental rights. I want to tell you,
Speaker 3: gor Zutz.
Speaker 8: I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind.
Speaker 3: And you will pay the price.
Speaker 8: You won't know what's hit you you go forward with
Speaker 8: this awful decisions.
Speaker 2: Now, some would some would interpret that as a threat.
Speaker 2: I certainly wouldn't, and don't. I would think that any
Speaker 2: reasonable person would just say that Chuck Schumann wasn't trying
Speaker 2: to intimidate judges.
Speaker 10: There was he No, he was just trying to explain
Speaker 10: to them, you know, in a calm manner, recognizing, of course,
Speaker 10: calling them, you know, by just their last names, which
Speaker 10: is which judges love.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have some judge who is, you know,
Speaker 2: Judge so and so. They love to be called Smitty
Speaker 2: or whatever their last name is, Kavanaugh or Gossig. What
Speaker 2: a phony bologney Chuck Schumer is. And he's part of
Speaker 2: the reason the Democrats can't win. And that's part of
Speaker 2: the reason why I think AOC is going to take
Speaker 2: him out. The guy is a fraud. He's been a
Speaker 2: fraud for the last ten years. Let's keep rolling here.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go with you getting me worked up. Let's
Speaker 2: go to Hey, Matt, welcome back.
Speaker 11: How are you hey?
Speaker 12: Then, good to hear from you.
Speaker 7: Sorry to catch you on the twenty seventh, thought I
Speaker 7: had an emergency.
Speaker 6: Come up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you missed a great day. We had a great,
Speaker 2: great afternoon over there. We talked about a little bit
Speaker 2: last night. Go right ahead, Matt, you.
Speaker 7: Were all right, all right, Well, I appreciate it. Well,
Speaker 7: you know, listening to Chucky, you know, shoon, you know,
Speaker 7: it sounded I hate to say it, but it sounded
Speaker 7: like almost like one of the speeches from the nineteen
Speaker 7: thirty sees just yelling and hollering, and you know, it's
Speaker 7: degrading to you know, any judge at any point he's
Speaker 7: trying to make. It's not a point of my call,
Speaker 7: but just to even say that, and you know, look
Speaker 7: how it ended up there. Now I'm the Supreme Court,
Speaker 7: and in my opinion, rightfully so well Leaf for a
Speaker 7: Kavanaugh is Judge Kavanaugh.
Speaker 2: Kevin gorses with Supreme Court justice He held he held
Speaker 2: a rally on the steps of the US Supreme Court
Speaker 2: to do exactly what he said shouldn't be done, to
Speaker 2: threaten the independence of the judiciary because they had issued
Speaker 2: some rulings that he didn't agree with.
Speaker 3: That's the total hypocrisy of it. Trump is just a
Speaker 3: different type of He's Trump is living rent.
Speaker 2: Free in the heads of a lot of these people.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm going to run for a third term.
Speaker 2: He's not going to run for third term. This Supreme
Speaker 2: Court would knock him down nine to nothing. Running for
Speaker 2: a third term absolutely never gonna happen. But he's going
Speaker 2: to toy with their minds, in my opinion, and live
Speaker 2: rent free in their heads. Go ahead, Did you want
Speaker 2: to talk about the first time of days what he's doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well ahead.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean absolutely, And you know that half half
Speaker 7: the issue here and is half.
Speaker 6: The issue is exactly what you just said, is.
Speaker 7: That President Trump has done a lot of good things
Speaker 7: in the first hundred days, but because of the media
Speaker 7: and because of how everything's distorted, nothing can be recognized.
Speaker 7: You know, the terrofts have. This is where I'm gonna
Speaker 7: say a little bit about him that has not been perfect.
Speaker 7: He has not held completely to all the you know,
Speaker 7: he's delayed somewhat. China put a hole on some of them,
Speaker 7: and Canada, and that's where I wish he would have
Speaker 7: been stronger on sticking to when he said he was
Speaker 7: going to do it and actually do it and.
Speaker 12: Keep to it.
Speaker 7: But it has seen although the GDP had gone down
Speaker 7: a very small percentage over one hundred days, which I
Speaker 7: would call a residual of maybe Joe Biden, But I
Speaker 7: would think Donald Trump is so many issues that go
Speaker 7: up against him. Miss Harvard thing is despicable, and he's
Speaker 7: handily He's always been a servant supporter of you know,
Speaker 7: Jewish people, and you know, with what's happened there and
Speaker 7: with what's happened just around the world. He's never given
Speaker 7: a chance, Donald Trump, except by the people who support him.
Speaker 7: So I'll give him an eighty eight, an eighty eighty
Speaker 7: FID that of one hundred of support. I think it's
Speaker 7: a couple of things he could have done better, But.
Speaker 2: I think he's been sort of a whirling derviship activity.
Speaker 2: He's his own worst enemy in many respects. He needs
Speaker 2: to be more disciplined. It's like an athlete, you know,
Speaker 2: a politician is very much like an athlete. An athlete
Speaker 2: can be a great athlete, but if they're not disciplined,
Speaker 2: that that lack of discipline will kill their game. It's
Speaker 2: as simple as that. I don't care you know what
Speaker 2: sport you're talking about. You got to be disciplined and
Speaker 2: you have to you know, whatever the sport is, you've
Speaker 2: got to be part of the team. He's actually the
Speaker 2: leader of the team. But he's out there going after Canada.
Speaker 2: We're going to take off agreement. Those were not the
Speaker 2: reasons people voted him into office.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: They were interested in the border. He's done that. They're
Speaker 2: they're interested in getting some control of government spending. That
Speaker 2: jury is still out on that. In my opinion, they
Speaker 2: were hoping that he could somehow bring it into the
Speaker 2: hostilities uh in the Middle East and and into the
Speaker 2: hostilities in Ukraine. He's working on those. Let's see if
Speaker 2: he can.
Speaker 7: Hasn't given it, you know, I would just say him
Speaker 7: by saying no, really, that's just how it's what you're
Speaker 7: saying is absolutely correct. But he is his worst enemy.
Speaker 7: But he's also being given hate by his worst enemies. Literally,
Speaker 7: you know, he's not per accur He.
Speaker 3: Gives his worst enemies ammo.
Speaker 2: You know, he would be like, I mean, if we
Speaker 2: were in with another country and we said to the
Speaker 2: other country, hey, do you need some fighter jets? We
Speaker 2: have some extra fighter jets. It would make the would
Speaker 2: make our competition. We're gonna send you fifty fighter jets. Okay,
Speaker 2: they're easy to fly, they're great. And what about some
Speaker 2: some you know, some aircraft carriers. Do you need a
Speaker 2: couple of aircraft carriers?
Speaker 3: Yeh, sure, no problem.
Speaker 2: You don't do that if you're gonna if you're gonna
Speaker 2: fight with the enemy, you fight to win.
Speaker 3: And this whole thing with Greenland and.
Speaker 2: With Canada, we're gonna make the fifty first state. What's
Speaker 2: he smoking?
Speaker 7: Does he really think about not the right not the
Speaker 7: right stuff?
Speaker 2: And well, you know, talk about making Cuba the fifty
Speaker 2: first state. Maybe and you might have a chance at that.
Speaker 3: Okay, but no, But Kenny.
Speaker 7: You know, I think he's doing okay, you know, I
Speaker 7: just would say that he does. Add Am, you know, look,
Speaker 7: he's done this for a very long time. I'm used
Speaker 7: to this with Donald Trump. He says whatever comes to
Speaker 7: his mind, and he does not care. But in the end,
Speaker 7: when I see good results, I can understand that he's
Speaker 7: not going to be the most politically get himself politically correct.
Speaker 2: I got you, I got you, Okay, Thanks Matt, appreciate
Speaker 2: you have a great night.
Speaker 3: Right, Thanks Matt. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Ken and Walton. Hey, Ken, welcome, get
Speaker 2: you in here before the news at the bottom of
Speaker 2: the hour.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Ken, oh Dan.
Speaker 6: You know, I wish Schumer had apologized for his remarks
Speaker 6: but and admonished himself stronger. But he did come up
Speaker 6: the next day he said he regretted the words he used.
Speaker 6: He said they didn't come out as I intended. And
Speaker 6: then he said I shouldn't have used the words I did,
Speaker 6: but in no way was.
Speaker 9: I making a threat.
Speaker 6: Well make a threat, and he should.
Speaker 13: Have said I apologized.
Speaker 12: I don't, but at least at least.
Speaker 6: He you know, sort of apologize.
Speaker 2: I just think it takes away for him to have
Speaker 2: any sort of high ground on that particular issue. Now
Speaker 2: you know, you've given up your high ground. That's all
Speaker 2: because it's almost as if the politicians of today don't
Speaker 2: realize that the statements they make are memorialized.
Speaker 3: We have audio tapes.
Speaker 2: Right if we were back in the in the in
Speaker 2: the nineteen twenties as opposed to the twenty twenties, I mean,
Speaker 2: Calvin Coolidge or you know, could have said anything he
Speaker 2: wanted to.
Speaker 3: You know, well, I never said that the newspaper.
Speaker 2: Men wrote it down wrong, you know, but they got
Speaker 2: to do it now they got people at tape.
Speaker 6: What I mean, he says so many things, he's and
Speaker 6: he got too emotional and he blew it. It was
Speaker 6: it was bad.
Speaker 3: What else is going on?
Speaker 6: I did, That's not why I wanted So I think,
Speaker 6: you know, I do think Trump is the worst president
Speaker 6: of my lifetime for many reasons. I do. I I
Speaker 6: want to hit the retribution angle, like the suing of
Speaker 6: Paramount and ABC News.
Speaker 3: You know him way clear he sued Stephano, right, is
Speaker 3: that the lawsuit?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I believe that.
Speaker 9: Settlement sement they did they did, Okay.
Speaker 3: So they were wrong or they wouldn't have paid the settlement.
Speaker 6: Well, I think they're trying. I think there's a part
Speaker 6: of them that's trying to by another network or something,
Speaker 6: not a network, but other entities when they want, and
Speaker 6: Trump has to approve it or his FCC has to.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, do you do you think the national
Speaker 3: media has treated Trump fairly?
Speaker 6: Well? I do because I think Trump's outrageous. So and
Speaker 6: if I could just go one more place.
Speaker 2: Because I was, let me just ask you a question, yep, Sure,
Speaker 2: if the Philadelphia Eagles had decided that they were not
Speaker 2: going to visit the White House because they didn't like
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's politics. As I think they won the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl I guess it was was a twenty eighteen or
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen they beat remember they beat the Patriots in Minneapolis,
Speaker 2: the game that the defensive back Butler was sat down
Speaker 2: and they didn't go to the White House.
Speaker 3: It was a huge story, huge.
Speaker 6: Story that they take back what I said, actually, because
Speaker 6: because there are instances where, particularly when I was bringing
Speaker 6: Trump's first term, i was living in DC and I'm
Speaker 6: reading the Washington Post and I'm reading, you know, same
Speaker 6: thing as the Globe, and I'm saying, boy, this really
Speaker 6: should be in the editorial page. Right, they were just
Speaker 6: taking shots of Trump. But I didn't.
Speaker 2: I read the Globe and if the if the Eagles
Speaker 2: had boy, the Eagles showed up. There was a great
Speaker 2: picture I saw. I assume it was probably on Fox
Speaker 2: or CNNs this morning, and it showed all the players
Speaker 2: behind him and it looked like the entire Eagles team.
Speaker 2: I guess he had played golf with Barkley, the big
Speaker 2: running back whatever, And uh, well, if you're going to
Speaker 2: do the story five years ago that they didn't go
Speaker 2: and now they have gone. That's a classic journalist's story
Speaker 2: of you know, things have changed. It doesn't mean that
Speaker 2: he's a nicer person than he was back then, but
Speaker 2: certainly he's more palatable to this group of football players.
Speaker 2: And it's not covered. That's the stuff that's so obvious. Anyway,
Speaker 2: go ahead, I started to do down a path.
Speaker 3: I want to hear what you want to say.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not a problem. So I wanted to talk. The
Speaker 6: worst example I think of Trump's performance in the retribution
Speaker 6: area is just let me tell you who Chris Krebs was.
Speaker 6: He was the director of cybersecurity under a homeland security
Speaker 6: for Trump. It was part of the team, part of
Speaker 6: the team that did the analysis on whether what the
Speaker 6: fraud was in twenty twenty election. He came out and
Speaker 6: said it was the most you know, secure election ever,
Speaker 6: that kind of thing. Frump fired him, and now within
Speaker 6: this past month, he has signed an executive order directing
Speaker 6: Pam Bondi to investigate him for activities. That's all. But
Speaker 6: I remember in the news reports, that's all he has said,
Speaker 6: and he called him a wise guy and a fraud
Speaker 6: and there's just no evidence that Chris Frebb did anything.
Speaker 6: You know, he's just a government guy who you know.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2: Familiar with Krebs, but I was trying to stay out
Speaker 2: of the rabbit hole with Donna because she wanted to
Speaker 2: bring the name up and all of that. I look,
Speaker 2: I think that he has issued too many executive orders.
Speaker 2: I think that he has spent too.
Speaker 3: Much time worrying about Greenland.
Speaker 2: I think that the only thing that is legitimate, in
Speaker 2: my mind is his concern about the Panama Canal, which
Speaker 2: the Carter administration sold the Panama Canal to Panama for
Speaker 2: a dollar. China now has has set up installations at
Speaker 2: I believe at least one end of the Panama Canal.
Speaker 3: We've got to worry about that.
Speaker 2: That's where his focus, you know, to put Vance and
Speaker 2: his wife on a plane to go to to a
Speaker 2: US military base and green What purpose is served by that?
Speaker 3: I just think it's it's your wasting time. You know.
Speaker 3: It's like, are you a sports fan?
Speaker 6: I am?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I mean I if I had a pitcher in
Speaker 2: the mound who's facing the number nine batter, and all
Speaker 2: he's going to do is throw three fastballs down the middle.
Speaker 2: This guy won't even see the pitch and he'll strike out.
Speaker 2: And so he throws the first two pass fastballs down
Speaker 2: the middle, and then he says, well, let me try
Speaker 2: my knuckleball or my curveball or a slider or whatever.
Speaker 2: And he gets the guy to three and two, and
Speaker 2: then he just throws the third one down the middle
Speaker 2: and strikes the guy out. What he's done is he's
Speaker 2: wasted three pitches. Okay, I want my president to be efficient,
Speaker 2: and I want the pitcher on my baseball team to
Speaker 2: be efficient. You know, That's all I'm trying to say. Then,
Speaker 2: you know, I think you understand that. But you talk
Speaker 2: to the Trump people, and any criticism is considered being disloyal.
Speaker 13: Right right?
Speaker 14: Ye?
Speaker 6: And I yeah, yeah. And you know there was a
Speaker 6: lot of complaints about Joe Biden direct you know, directing
Speaker 6: Garland to investigate Trump, which the White House always denied, right.
Speaker 3: En on top of his game to remember that.
Speaker 6: Sure, but yeah, but take the right Yeah. No, I
Speaker 6: mean Trump literally signed an investigat executive order directing Pam
Speaker 6: Bondi to investigate crebs. So I think that's right up
Speaker 6: there with that. That gets in my head. I know
Speaker 6: he's not going to come after me. But stuff like that, I.
Speaker 2: Think, let's see, let's see, let him waste time, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's lack of discipline.
Speaker 3: That's that's the picture.
Speaker 2: Who's who's who's wasting three three pitches to try to
Speaker 2: get the number nine guy out who couldn't hit his fastball?
Speaker 3: You know, if he was up there with the tennis.
Speaker 2: Racket anyway, Ken as always, I appreciate it. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of my Trump listeners who have said they don't
Speaker 2: want to talk to me anymore. But that's fine. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call him as I see him, Okay. And
Speaker 2: I think that Mark Carney last night, the new Prime
Speaker 2: Minister of Canada, in his opening remark, should have said
Speaker 2: simply thank you, Donald Trump.
Speaker 6: That's a great point. I think that's you know what, Dan,
Speaker 6: I'm always smarter at midnight than I was at eight
Speaker 6: listening to your show.
Speaker 2: I really sported with callers like you because you got
Speaker 2: you not a challenge and raise issues. And I know
Speaker 2: more about Chris Krebbs. Now there used to be an
Speaker 2: NBA player played for the Lakers a long time ago.
Speaker 2: I think his name was Jim Crebbs, probably not related.
Speaker 2: And we cannot forget. Maybe Krebs of the Adobe Gillis show.
Speaker 2: They may have been related, who knows.
Speaker 6: Oh, you know, I'm embarrassed to tell you I remember that.
Speaker 3: That's okay. I figured.
Speaker 13: I do remember my.
Speaker 6: Mother not letting me watch that show, and I do.
Speaker 3: Thanks. Thanks arrived, you.
Speaker 6: Know, yeah, thanks, thanks for okay.
Speaker 2: The only line open is six one seven nine three
Speaker 2: one ten thirty. Everything else is full. Six one seven
Speaker 2: nine three one ten thirty. We're coming right back on
Speaker 2: night Side.
Speaker 9: It's night Side with Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep rolling here.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go next to Ron and Bob Rather Bob
Speaker 2: in Raynham, Massachusetts. Hey, Bob, what sort of a grade
Speaker 2: would you give Donald Trump for his first hundred days?
Speaker 5: M First of all, can I thank you for the
Speaker 5: event on Sunday. It was a great time.
Speaker 3: And I enjoy meeting you there, Bob.
Speaker 5: It was a pleasure meeting you right.
Speaker 2: Back at you, man, I really mean that seriously, And
Speaker 2: I met so many people that that morning and early afternoon.
Speaker 2: It was It was fabulous. It was so much fun,
Speaker 2: and I'm so glad you made it. And now I
Speaker 2: can put a face and I feel like I really
Speaker 2: know you before you're sort of that voice from Raindom,
Speaker 2: but now.
Speaker 3: It's a guy I know from Raydom. So excellent. So
Speaker 3: what what's what sort of a grade would you give
Speaker 3: President Trump?
Speaker 2: Or is there want to talk about what you think
Speaker 2: he did has done well or what he has not
Speaker 2: done well.
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 5: Like you like you had mentioned, you know, some of
Speaker 5: the nonsense has to go as far as like you know,
Speaker 5: Canada being the fifty first state, and I mean that
Speaker 5: that just that just takes away all the all the sincere,
Speaker 5: good things that he he has because of course his
Speaker 5: enemies are gonna rab on that and say, see he's
Speaker 5: a dictator, he wants to take over the world, blah
Speaker 5: blah blah. Like you said, he's his own worst enemy.
Speaker 5: He gives them ammunition.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and.
Speaker 2: It's like I know that he he likes you know,
Speaker 2: worldwide wrestling, and he likes the fights that he goes
Speaker 2: to and all of that, and that's all show. And
Speaker 2: it's like, you're the president of the United States, be
Speaker 2: serious if you really want to try to do something
Speaker 2: with Canada, you know, deal with them, you know, don't
Speaker 2: don't denigrate. I wasn't a fan of Justin Trudeau, but
Speaker 2: you know, don't call him governor. He's the Prime Minister
Speaker 2: and he more than I want someone calling the president
Speaker 2: of the United States.
Speaker 3: And I don't care who the president is.
Speaker 2: I care who the president is, but I want him
Speaker 2: him or her when when we do get a female
Speaker 2: president to be given the respect of the office. And
Speaker 2: I just think he needs to extend the respect of
Speaker 2: the office.
Speaker 3: To the other countries as well. So I just think
Speaker 3: that he's spending his political capital, he's wasting his political
Speaker 3: capital unnecessarily.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with that. But on the other hand,
Speaker 5: you know your previous caller, you know, calling him the
Speaker 5: worst president ever after following Joe Biden, I mean, is comical.
Speaker 5: I mean when when you think about it, uh, how much.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's that's Ken. That's Ken's opinion. So
Speaker 2: it's tough to But I might disagree with I'm not.
Speaker 2: I don't think Donald Trump so far, the first hundred
Speaker 2: days is the worst president ever. I thought he had
Speaker 2: a fairly successful first term in office, and COVID came
Speaker 2: along and cut his legs off from underneath him.
Speaker 5: Well, well he did. And and also but I mean
Speaker 5: to to just squash any people that believe that. I mean,
Speaker 5: how much American blood does Joe Biden have on his
Speaker 5: hands as opposed to President Trump. President Trump, as far
Speaker 5: as I'm concerned, has no American blood on his hands.
Speaker 6: And the I mean.
Speaker 2: You're talking you're talking about you're talking about what happened
Speaker 2: at the airport in Kabul when we lost thirteen members.
Speaker 5: Well, that's that's one of many. I mean, what about
Speaker 5: all of the fentanyl debts, And.
Speaker 3: That's a great point.
Speaker 5: Wasn't even that, you know, the lake and Riley's and
Speaker 5: all the stuff that could have happened didn't allow you know,
Speaker 5: the invasion of our nation. I mean that that guy
Speaker 5: was the worst in stage.
Speaker 2: But I think and again I'm not sure we're not
Speaker 2: going to change Ken's opinion, but I think that's strong
Speaker 2: evidence that you've just produced. Look the invasion and the
Speaker 2: open borders. Those were open borders all along. You saw
Speaker 2: the video of people streaming across the border. The media
Speaker 2: didn't cover that if they ignored it as if it
Speaker 2: wasn't happening. They flew airplanes full of people into the country.
Speaker 2: If you're going to bring people into the country, bring
Speaker 2: them in legally, fly them into a US military. Let's
Speaker 2: assume you're going to say, okay, haities and crisis, and
Speaker 2: we're going to bring five hundred people or whatever a
Speaker 2: thousand people in from Haiti and fly them to the
Speaker 2: US military base, put them up in the US military base,
Speaker 2: find out who they are, find out what their background is,
Speaker 2: and then slowly but surely put them on a path
Speaker 2: to citizenship. I don't have a problem with that, okay,
Speaker 2: but but you just don't fly them in and release
Speaker 2: them and without knowing who they are.
Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, I have I have two hotels within five
Speaker 5: miles of my house loaded with these people. And I
Speaker 5: mean they're out here. I mean I'm in a pretty
Speaker 5: nice community here, and they're out here begging for money
Speaker 5: on the side of the road. We never had that before.
Speaker 5: I didn't vote for that. I don't want that in
Speaker 5: my community. I mean, and you know, we have you know,
Speaker 5: of course, young children and whatever, and like, you know,
Speaker 5: we have to explain all the stuff to these I mean,
Speaker 5: we didn't ask for any of this. And yet now
Speaker 5: and they they snuck these people in in the dead
Speaker 5: and night while we were sleeping, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 5: these hotels will fill with these people. But now that
Speaker 5: we want to get them out, it's like this big deal.
Speaker 5: Oh we have to have uh you know, due process
Speaker 5: process individuals.
Speaker 2: Did you did you hear my conversation earlier tonight with
Speaker 2: Dan from San Francisco. No, it was at ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: It was a pretty spirited conversation. Is exactly what you're
Speaker 2: talking about. Exactly what you're talking about, you know, Bob
Speaker 2: all great points. Again, thanks for your kind comments on Sunday.
Speaker 2: I really appreciate everyone who showed up. It was a
Speaker 2: great event, and we'll do something else at something Bo
Speaker 2: in the not too distant future.
Speaker 6: Thanks my friend, Thank you, Bye, Bob, talk.
Speaker 3: To you soon. Good night. Sixty.
Speaker 2: I got a couple of lines there, and I got
Speaker 2: a couple at six, one, seven, nine, ten thirty. I
Speaker 2: want to hear your grade for the first hundred days
Speaker 2: of the Trump administration. We're going to do this only tonight,
Speaker 2: no sense of going back to it tomorrow. You can
Speaker 2: tell me something that you like, you can tell me
Speaker 2: something that you don't like, or give me an overall grade.
Speaker 3: A, B, C, D, E or F.
Speaker 2: You're more than welcome to light it up right now.
Speaker 2: I got some open lines. Let's go dive away. Coming
Speaker 2: back on Nightside right after.
Speaker 9: This, It's night Side with Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go to Rick and Bill. Rick and hey, Rick,
Speaker 3: welcome back. How are you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 14: Thanks for the Rolli's it was a it was a
Speaker 14: great you know event.
Speaker 3: Enjoyed meeting you. And it's always great to be able
Speaker 3: to put a face with a with a voice.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 14: No, And the Winnakers are truly consummate pros. They're just
Speaker 14: incredible musicians, old fashioned jazz. Both sounded like like Satchmo.
Speaker 2: Including the white including the white handkerchief for napkin.
Speaker 14: Yeah, they're old, they're all they're old school guys, but
Speaker 14: they did a great job. It was so nice to
Speaker 14: hear these legendary guys. But what I wanted to say
Speaker 14: is I'd give I'd give Trump's administration a B minus.
Speaker 14: And I'm being a little generous. I don't know if
Speaker 14: I want to give him a C plus, but I'll
Speaker 14: give him a B minus. And that's about it. And
Speaker 14: I'll just expound you. And Bob said it well from Raynham.
Speaker 14: I don't have to repeat any of that. Greenland is ridiculous.
Speaker 14: They should shut up about taking Greenland over. He's treating
Speaker 14: it as if it's a comedy here, like you said,
Speaker 14: a wrestling match. It's just it's it's reality. It's not,
Speaker 14: it's not. He's a Hollywood guy. He's you know, he's
Speaker 14: he's an iconic guy for forty I remember hearing about
Speaker 14: Donald Trump about forty five years ago or so, late seventies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I.
Speaker 14: Want to get I'll ask you what what you feel.
Speaker 14: But the girl from tuffs her go writing an OPAD,
Speaker 14: big deal. Let her go help the girl with the
Speaker 14: brain cancer instead of deporting the parents. You know, give
Speaker 14: that guy from Connecticut and Delaware due process. If he's
Speaker 14: not an MS thirteen, he might be, but give him
Speaker 14: due process, show a little bit of don't go be blanket.
Speaker 14: Don't blanket it and be across the board.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go get the real bad guys.
Speaker 2: I think the guy from Maryland has enough in his
Speaker 2: background to get him out of here. But if you
Speaker 2: want to bring him back and make a show of it,
Speaker 2: bring him back, but have the goods on him. And
Speaker 2: you know, if some judge wants to say leave him here, fine,
Speaker 2: leave him here, But I'd rather bring him back. Hit
Speaker 2: him with your best evidence. Apparently he got stopped by
Speaker 2: the Tennessee State Police several years ago with about nine
Speaker 2: people in his car, which they think was trafficking. He's
Speaker 2: got domestic abuse charges from his wife. He's here illegally.
Speaker 2: This guy's he's got some you know, I think he's
Speaker 2: a gang member. But let him prove it. Let him
Speaker 2: prove it. I'm okay with that, simple as that.
Speaker 14: Rick, I think he is too. The Delaware police back
Speaker 14: in twenty eighteen or nineteen, they bleeped out or they
Speaker 14: blacked out the name of the officer that brought him in.
Speaker 14: But he was charged on something. They had him down
Speaker 14: as a gang member and with his code names and everything.
Speaker 14: So he probably is. But just just throw a little humility,
Speaker 14: bring him back, and then if he really is one,
Speaker 14: to port him or whatever you're got to do. It's
Speaker 14: two bad because he's got a family. Oh, he probably
Speaker 14: would never be involved in MS thirteen again after this,
Speaker 14: but again, but again.
Speaker 2: Guess what you here illegally and you didn't self deport.
Speaker 2: I think the smallest thing that Trump administration is doing
Speaker 2: that right now is telling people if you self deport,
Speaker 2: you might be able to come back legally at some
Speaker 2: point that's a.
Speaker 14: Bit and just the last thing I wanted to say
Speaker 14: was tariffs. If you're gonna talk big talk, stick with it.
Speaker 14: He's already going back will He's up on you. He's
Speaker 14: playing tough guy, and I swear half the world a
Speaker 14: lot of these countries want to test Donald Trump. Donald
Speaker 14: Trump said I'll have those wars ended in one two days,
Speaker 14: ran in Russia and Israel and he didn't. Then Israel's
Speaker 14: complex because my mons is horrible. But you know, he
Speaker 14: didn't do what he said he ought to just was
Speaker 14: his mouth and there's.
Speaker 2: A way that there's a way to say what he
Speaker 2: says without being in a situation where people can can
Speaker 2: call you on Its simple as that, Rick, I got
Speaker 2: to get to a couple more Thank you man, talk.
Speaker 3: Soon, Okay, great to see you again, Thank you, promise,
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I got Peg up in New Hampshire. Peg.
Speaker 3: Great to see you the other day as well. Thanks
Speaker 3: so much.
Speaker 12: It was great meeting you. How are you.
Speaker 2: I'm doing just great. What sort of a grade do
Speaker 2: you want to give President Trump's first hundred days?
Speaker 11: Well, on the border, I'd give him an a plus
Speaker 11: rode to thank you very much, absolutely, and that to me,
Speaker 11: in my mind, trickles down to other things. It trickles
Speaker 11: down to finances in this country. Yes, so you know,
Speaker 11: I mean hopefully you know, we'll see that in more
Speaker 11: services or less taxes something.
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully in reduction of our federal debt. That would
Speaker 2: be something that would be nice. Correct, Yeah, I like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, so our kids don't don't have to inherit
Speaker 2: our kids and grandkids, you.
Speaker 6: Know, so correct?
Speaker 11: And I have six, so.
Speaker 3: Well we just added a second.
Speaker 2: I met my second granddaughter, my second grandchild, my grand
Speaker 2: first granddaughter.
Speaker 11: Today, congratulations.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: She was born on Sunday night, so I quite a
Speaker 2: day Sunday between meeting all of.
Speaker 3: You and that the new granddaughter had arrived.
Speaker 2: And so she's in fine shape and got great pictures
Speaker 2: and uh just held it today the first time.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well I wanted some people to know about that. All right.
Speaker 12: Oh that's wonderful.
Speaker 11: That's wonderful.
Speaker 3: Thanks Peg.
Speaker 2: We will see you again, I know, okay, and I'm
Speaker 2: looking forward to we'll do it.
Speaker 3: We'll do another event like this. It's just I just
Speaker 3: like you, folks, I really do.
Speaker 11: But people, that was fun and I honestly I drove
Speaker 11: over one hundred miles that day and it was all good.
Speaker 5: I mean, that was an easy place to get to it.
Speaker 5: So absolutely we'll do it again.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Peg, We'll talk soon. Okay, keep calling the show.
Speaker 2: Steve is in the truck. Steve, where are you headed?
Speaker 12: Well? I am in New Jersey right now and I'm
Speaker 12: looking at the MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I'll be coming up from the George Washington Bridge not
Speaker 12: too long.
Speaker 3: So you're heading home?
Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, and I come back down tomorrow night.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: So give us a quick quick grade for President Trump's
Speaker 2: first hundred days.
Speaker 3: What do you give him?
Speaker 12: Well, I'm going a second, third, and fourth bob Rick
Speaker 12: and Peg, and I'll give him a A plus on
Speaker 12: the border and over overall grade of a B plus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I think I think that's that's pretty You're
Speaker 2: a little more generous than I am. I just think
Speaker 2: that he's wasting time telling us about Greenland. As they say,
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister of Canada, the newly elected Prime Minister
Speaker 2: of Canada, if he had been really smart, he should
Speaker 2: have just when he started, you know, his speech last night,
Speaker 2: Thank you Donald Trump.
Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah, Well, anyways, he he's doing he'll get better, hopefully,
Speaker 12: and yeah, his rash decisions, Yeah, they make us shake
Speaker 12: our head. But well, I'm so glad he's still living there,
Speaker 12: you know.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you know, I think better than what
Speaker 2: we had. That's that is for sure. At least he's
Speaker 2: he's able to put a sentence together. Steve's safe home tonight, Okay,
Speaker 2: get home safe.
Speaker 12: I will, thanks buddy, Thanks, yeah, thanks man.
Speaker 2: All right, gonna wrap it up here, Tim, you get
Speaker 2: the final word tonight. We got less than a minute left.
