You're so objective, Sam, 12 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:42.719 And we've got a lot, we got a lot of 13 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.560 work to do here on Nightside on WBZ with Sam 14 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.079 Medler joining us, who is an Emmy Award winning producer 15 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.920 and political junkie. So where do you want to begin. 16 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.840 Let's beget we let's catch up, shall we? Let's catch up? 17 00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.000 Yeah? Uh? 18 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:00.479 Your thoughts are the election? 19 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:10.640 Uh? Inevitable? I was. I was surprised surprised at at 20 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:18.079 just how thoroughly Uh he defeated her, right, I mean 21 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.000 I really I thought it was going to be so 22 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.079 much closer and then there would be a lot of complaints. Uh. 23 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.519 I didn't think he would win the popular vote, right yeah, and. 24 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.159 He did not by not by the margin they are 25 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.159 saying he won by. But I mean because on all 26 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.319 the political shows are saying landslide, landslide, landslide, you know, 27 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.640 but there was a mandate, there was a man. That's 28 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.079 not really the case. But he won it. 29 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:50.760 Yes, he did. He did, and I was surprised about 30 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:58.480 that because, I mean, he certainly didn't against Hillary. And 31 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.879 it's fun because people talk about election denial, but there 32 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.520 were plenty of folks on the left side of the 33 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.280 aisle who said that that was you know, it's it's 34 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.199 the stupid Uh electoral college is the only reason he won. 35 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.280 And it's like that's that's you know, the way we've 36 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:27.000 elected presidents at the beginning of presidential elections, Right yeah, 37 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.800 I mean, he only won because and it's like, guys, 38 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.400 come on, And also, I mean, listen this. These are 39 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.560 the same people who said that al Gore really won 40 00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.120 and and George Bush didn't win, when in in fact, 41 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.800 every recount showed that George W. Bush had beaten al Gore. 42 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.759 But uh yeah, I mean, uh, I think that many 43 00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:04.319 progressives are in shock and a reeling from this because 44 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.280 I think a lot is made of this. It's the 45 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.080 end of democracy talk. 46 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.199 Well, and that's just ridiculous, you know to me, I 47 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.840 mean yeah, like, oh my god, the drama. And I 48 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:27.479 just feel that the Democrats lost touch where you you 49 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:32.199 have you're paying Oprah all this money, or you're paying 50 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.039 Hollywood all this money. And I didn't. I didn't think 51 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.520 that the Democrats were paying for that. I thought that 52 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.319 was just okay, well, Oprah, I'm doing this out of 53 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.479 the goodness of my heart or whoever it was. You're 54 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.919 paying three million dollars to put on these you know, 55 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.280 these these shows, these big performances, And I thought, okay, well, 56 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.599 Hollywood's liberal and they're doing this out of the goodness 57 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.439 of their heart. And they weren't. I mean, so it's 58 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.680 like the Democrats have become the Republican party I knew 59 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.199 was a king. They've become the elite I don't need, 60 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.080 you know, people don't agree pony telling everybody what's going on. 61 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.919 It's very odd. It's weird too, to be very very 62 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:23.079 odd to see how how certain policies or yeah, certain 63 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.240 thoughts of you know, one party morph depending on who's 64 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.879 in office. Right, I mean, you've got Democrats, who I mean, 65 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.759 it's a party of anti war forever right, and and 66 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:43.040 they're cheering on the Ukraine right and Republicans on on 67 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.360 the other side saying we shouldn't put any money there. 68 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.199 I mean, that's that is a swap. That is a 69 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.360 bizarre swap. 70 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.279 And it is oh absolutely yeah, you know, and it's 71 00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.879 and and all when they when when you bring out 72 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.399 the hollywoody lead, people are sitting there who want jobs 73 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.040 and or who are worried about the economy or what's 74 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.279 going to happen here. Yeah, you get smoked, especially you 75 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.839 take a look at the minority vote. Sam that I 76 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.800 where you had Latinos, you had African Americans. They were like, 77 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:21.480 I don't relate to this. 78 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.199 Well, that's because if you listen to Sam Houstin on 79 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.879 the view, that's because they're all misogynists. I mean, I 80 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:38.519 had never heard a more racist anti Latino comment than 81 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.319 I did when I heard Sunny hostin the Super Progressive 82 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.480 talk about how it's misogyny that is the reason why 83 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:53.040 Latinos voted for Trump. And you know, she just keeps 84 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.439 making the case of why people voted for him. The 85 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.519 people that are saying don't have Thanksgiving. I mean, there's 86 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.199 there are there are shrinks around the country saying don't 87 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.079 have Thanksgiving with family members that upset you because of 88 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.160 who they voted for. It's like, are you kidding me? 89 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.639 I know, it's crazy. 90 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.720 I mean, this is this is I'm telling you it's 91 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.600 I mean, they just don't learn, they don't know how. 92 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.439 I mean if you looked at the map, right, and 93 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.319 it was a sea of red, and there was blue 94 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.519 in the upper right, northeast right, and blue out in 95 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.680 the west. And these are people and I think the 96 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.759 Northeast far more than the West because I think that 97 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.480 I think we're a little hippie dippy here, right, But 98 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:54.120 you have this arrogant Northeast snobbery where they think they're 99 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.839 smarter than other people around the country. They don't know 100 00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:59.639 other people around the country, but they know that. They 101 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.480 just know that they're smarter. They're voting against their own interests, 102 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.959 they say, because what, you know, what's better for them. 103 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:14.439 I know people speaking of Coamo's ground game, right, which 104 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:19.439 was a farce. But I know people that from New 105 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:25.800 York that went down to Georgia to knock on doors 106 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.240 for Kamala because that's what every Southerner wants a New 107 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.560 Yorker knocking them on, a knocking on their door tell 108 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:40.439 him who to vote for. I mean, that's that's just nuts. 109 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.920 And they were posting the whole time, posting the whole time. 110 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.839 If somebody said this, and uh oh gosh, I think 111 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:57.000 it might have been Jordan Peterson, who's a famous psychiatrist 112 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:03.480 and and conservative guy from from who said the greatest 113 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:13.800 disguise for narcissism is concern. Right, these people who say 114 00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:19.399 how much they care about everyone, and they, you know, 115 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.720 every time they blow a fart, they have to post 116 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:30.560 about it on Facebook, right, because they're so proud of themselves, right, 117 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.799 and they they keep posting about how they went down 118 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.240 and knocked on these doors. And you know, aren't we great? 119 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.879 You know, and we're part of the team, guys, We're 120 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.919 part of the right team, and we're on the right 121 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:47.840 side of history. And it's gross. It's gross, you know, 122 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:48.279 you think. 123 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:53.120 I think back to Obama's first inauguration, I believe, yep, 124 00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:00.159 and I just remember the background was like a Roman in. 125 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.200 Yeah, well that was that was actually before that was 126 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:09.440 during the can that was during his candidacy. He staged 127 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:16.600 he was brilliant at staging you know, these messianic. 128 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:21.360 Right, right, yea, and that just seemed like the beginning 129 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:25.279 of showtime for the Democrats. Yeah, you know, but he 130 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:26.120 could pull it off. 131 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.480 He could pull it off. Although I will tell you 132 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.919 I think that this, I do think that he is 133 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:43.159 fairly responsible for the schism in the country of I 134 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.720 won't talk to the other side, I won't deal with 135 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.799 the other side. Because when he became president, he had 136 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:57.320 a super majority and you know, both houses, and it's 137 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.960 what what Donald will have pretty soon, right, He's going 138 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:08.840 to have a supermajority. And he just pushed through laws. 139 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:15.519 He said, elections have consequences, and you know, he didn't 140 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:21.639 get a single Republican vote on anything, right, And Pepe 141 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.039 had twenty thirty years right, because this was a this 142 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.639 was a guy who could cross the aisle work with 143 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.000 the other side. Before that, by the way, I mean, 144 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.919 Reagan did it. He and Tip O'Neil managed to, you know, 145 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.879 talk and deal. I mean, these were presidents who always 146 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.159 it was part of the you have to deal with 147 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:54.679 people you don't like. I mean, that's that's life. And 148 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.000 Obama didn't really do it. Although he was not great. 149 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.399 It you know, his own side. He hated retail politics. 150 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.080 He wasn't like Clinton. Clinton loved the meeting. Clinton would 151 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.919 have anybody in his in his office and they would 152 00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.159 have to pull him out because he would take too 153 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:22.440 much time schmoozing. And uh. But but Obama hates it and. 154 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.360 So well, Obama was more of an elitist than Clinton, 155 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:27.919 much more so. 156 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:28.240 Yeah. 157 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.159 I mean, anytime you have a president of going for 158 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.159 a run in the morning, right in the middle of 159 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.679 the run, I mean, that's a relatable. 160 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.919 Load, so funny, so funny. Well, I mean and and 161 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:49.679 and I I think uh, Clinton uh was uh, you know, 162 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:54.720 other than his dalliances, which were fairly disgusting. You know, 163 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.120 Donald's not the only one. 164 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.399 Oh no, they I mean, look, you can go back 165 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.399 to the Kennedy I mean, people expected, They just expected. 166 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.759 And it's like, fine, I don't care. What are you 167 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.240 gonna do from my pocketbook, Sam, I want to continue 168 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.000 on this. I want to get into the women vote. 169 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:09.720 Uh. 170 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:16.639 And also Donald is coming out firing with some promises. 171 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.480 That's all coming up and next with Sam Metler on WBZ. 172 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:20.720 Now. 173 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.759 Back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World night 174 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:28.399 Side Studios on WBZ News video talking. 175 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.279 About Gary Tank wing for Dan ray tonight Sam Metler 176 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:36.960 joining us man about town award winning producer and also, 177 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.600 I just love his mind.

I mean tariffs, right, Oh, 196 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.360 first of all, not conservative whatsoever? Right?

No one comes in the country illegally from Canada. 206 00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.759 I mean it's a handful. It's like ten people. 207 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.240 Seriously, you know, like that. 208 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.799 It's like what Pierre's coming in from Montreal. I mean, 209 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.080 what the hell? So when he says Canada, I kind 210 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.039 of laugh. Mexico immigrant, we got a problem. I get that. 211 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:23.320 But when he talks about Canada, I'm like it, seriously, 212 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.320 the numbers are nothing from Canada. 213 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.639 Yeah, that's that's it. That's a little silly. It's he 214 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:38.120 in wanting instead of making America, instead of you know, 215 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:44.159 wanting to make America more competitive, he wants to punish 216 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:50.200 other countries and punish consumers who buy from other countries. Right, 217 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.720 I mean, these are these are countries like China with 218 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:58.639 slave labor and they can afford to pay you know, 219 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.039 nothing to people, right, I mean, you can't compete with 220 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:09.759 a country that you know is willing to ruin its 221 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:17.240 own people too to make a buck. It's it's fairly disgusting. 222 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:24.000 And way when anybody you had Lebron defending China, I 223 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.759 mean that was about his own pocketbook, but I mean China. 224 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.559 They they talk about Trump being Hitler. That was the 225 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.919 other hyperbole. You're right, there's Hitler's only hit There's no 226 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:39.679 other Hitler, right right, Trump ain't Hitler. The closest thing 227 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:44.440 to it. You know are the other places in the world, 228 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.759 like China, North Korea and and of course, I mean 229 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:55.279 these are places you know where you there's there's no freedom, 230 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:59.240 you know which I mean you you saw these kids 231 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.679 from Columbia.

Uh. 238 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.080 This was this is the sort of the insanity of 239 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:40.519 the the intersectional left that believes that Israel's a white 240 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:46.399 country and Palestine is our people of color when the 241 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.240 majority of Israel are people of color. They look just 242 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:54.480 like the Palestine's I mean, if you if you put them, 243 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.159 you know, aside from their clothing, they look exactly alike. 244 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.919 So it's not about racism and and and that's that's 245 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.000 why people voted. Women voted, men voted, Latinos voted. They 246 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:15.680 were just so tired of a being told that they 247 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:21.319 were racist if they voted for him, Right, I mean, 248 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:28.559 let's let's let's racist or ignoring racism or you know, 249 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:33.119 or stupid what have Well, that's the that's a people going. 250 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.440 That's really to me.
