Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBS Coustin's new
radio or.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're going to change our focus just a little bit here,
and I want to get more of you involved in
the conversation. I think as I've watched President Trump in
the last few months engage in so many circumstances.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
As a matter of.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Fact, some of them I've approved of. Some of them
I have disapproved of, but which is my right as
simply not a talk show host, but as an American citizen.
I think that there are things that he's done which
were well, which were very well, and we can talk
about those, but I think you know how I feel.
At the same time, he has engaged in a lot
(00:51):
of initiatives which I'll say are unprecedented. That's a relatively
neutral word, unprecedented. So for example, if you think about
the tariffs which were announced on Liberation Day on April second,
I think they originally had its scheduled April first, it
(01:13):
was April second, and there was a lot of adverse
reaction from the stock market. The stock market took a
huge hit, huge hit immediately. It was down about twenty percent,
which is close to getting a market to the point
of a bear market. But it came back. It came back.
It took two or three or four weeks to come
(01:34):
back fully, but it came back. In the meantime, he
got involved in these conversations with Iran and they didn't
go very well, and he seemed to have some patience,
and then he gave him a couple of deadlines. Those
deadlines passed, and then he sent the American self bombers
over to wipe out their nuclear program by hitting the
(01:56):
mountains where all of that fissionable materials were buried deep
under rocks. And there was a lot of adverse reaction
to that initially, but guess what, I think that worked
out pretty well now.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Conversely, there's there's a lot of controversy going on with
the not the border.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think virtually everybody has looked at what he has
done in terms of tightening the border and has said
they agree. I even watched an interview with the Governor
of Illinois today in which he seemed to agree on
on that. The tightening of the border, the reassertion of
our control over our southern and I assume our northern border.
(02:38):
But uh, the the ice surge has generated a lot
of controversy. There have been, uh, you know, some pretty
ugly incidents that we have seen. We've we've watched the
ice officers do what they feel they have to do
(03:01):
in certain cities.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's got it's gotten just downright ugly.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And you take all of these activities and then you
add into that the idea of blowing the drug boats
out of the water.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Now, do I think the drug boats? Yeah? I do.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I think when you've got a high speed boat making
its way towards the United States from the Caribbean, it's
it's not a family out enjoying their their their high
speed boat. Uh, It's it's drug runners. And I accept
that our Defense Department officials have figured out uh and uh,
(03:38):
And I accept what what's being done. You engage yourself
in that sort of activity, you take some chances. We
now have US naval power pretty much heading towards Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I don't know what that means. Is there something Alan
Manuel Noriega going on?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
But with all of this activity, the conversation about buying Greenland,
the conversation about rebuilding gaza and casinos on the Mediterranean Gaza,
what's going on at the White House right now? People
are very upset about that. They were very upset about
(04:19):
the Fourth of July parade and the military in Washington,
which cost a lot of money. They were upset the
fact that there was American military hardware going down streets
in Washington, d C. With a concern that that military
hardware would damage the infrastructure of the nation's capital. Look,
(04:41):
I'm sure there are things that he's done that you
have questioned. But my question to you tonight is this.
Nothing seems to stick on Donald Trump. Is it that
he's moving so fast one from one thing to the next.
You had the big No King's rallies last weekend. People
(05:05):
turned out. I think they said they were twenty five
hundred demonstrations nationwide. I don't doubt that, but I don't
know that that changes the politics of it. My question
is pretty simple. If you agree with me that, oh, sure,
amongst those who didn't vote for him and those who
(05:28):
didn't vote for him in twenty sixteen, and those that
voted for Democrats. And I didn't vote for him in
twenty sixteen, twenty twenty or twenty four I've said that before,
but I didn't vote for the Democrat either, And I
guess I'm Switzerland and all of this, but I want
to hear from you. Is he a teflon president? Meaning
(05:53):
that virtually anything that he has done so far, nothing
has really.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Stuck to him. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There's nothing that he has done that the middle of America,
the people who made him president, the people who voted
him in in the seven swing states, because that's what
decided the election.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
There's no indication that they have turned on him. Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
He enjoys their support. He is, He's available, he's accessible.
Is it just that he has the vigor that his
predecessor didn't have?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
What?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What is the secret sauce for Donald Trump? And I
and I mean that that.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I asked that question honestly.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Uh? Is it his accessibility? I mean it seems like
he's holding a news conference every other day, or or
at least some sort of a gaggle.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
He's speaking from behind the oval, from behind the desk
at the White House, in the in the Oval office,
or he's in the Cabinet room. So that's my question
to you. Uh, is he a teflon president? Can he
get away? I don't think he can get away with everything,
(07:10):
but he's got away with everything so far, unlike his term,
his first term, no democrat is saying we're going to
impeach him. He was asked today about whether or not
he needed congressional approval to take action against Venezuela. He
(07:31):
gave an answer which you couldn't pin him down, but
basically says, I don't think so, but we'll see. But
there's no Democrat that I know of who's suggesting that
he'd be impeached. Maybe the Democrats have learned that lesson.
Maybe he's done nothing which rises that, so gonna open
it up. I don't care if you're a supporter or
(07:52):
if you're a critic, you've got to agree that there's nothing.
There's nothing that the devil Democrats have have have raised
which is stuck to Donald Trump. He is a teflon
president at this point. He may not always be, but
as of now, nothing has stuck. Six one, seven, two, five,
(08:15):
four thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty
New callers always welcome, regular callers, come on back. We'll
be back on Nightside right after this.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
All right, so the questions pretty simple.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't again, most of the questions I ask my audience,
there's no right or wrong answer.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It's your opinion that's important.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
As I have said on many of our podcasts, UH,
and our our pregames and our post games. This program
is not the Dan Ray Show. This program is Night
Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
You're the sh show. I'm simply the host.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Six one, seven, two, four, ten thirty. There's a one
line open. It's right there picking up and we'll get
you on. Edward is in Braintree. Edward, welcome, how are you.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I'm doing all right?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Thank you for taking my call. I kind of an
itching to answer this question from my experience, but.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, you know, here's the deal. I thought of this
today and I got to be honest with you. If
you can, I just take you into confidence for a
moment here. Doing this show, I try to come up
with different topics or different questions under different topics.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
This is one I thought about today, Edward, to be
honest with you. Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
And there was an Edward from Braintree who used to
be a regular caller.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
That's not you, right, I'm not sure you're not sure?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well no, he he prided himself as a regular hot caller,
so your last name doesn't begin with the letter T.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
It does because your last the letter T.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
No, it does not.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Good, that's a different guy. Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The point is if it was, I'd say, welcome back.
Have you called before?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I think I have called him the past?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay, great, Well, you know, UH, be a more frequent
So the idea is that when I do this show
I watched during the day different you know TV shows,
and there's a panel of like eight people or I
and they're on for an hour, uh, and they have
sixteen producers. I'm one one host with rob answering the
(10:35):
phones at night and Marita during the day. So it's
tough to come up with novel questions. And this is
what I have never thought of before it hit me today.
So you're gonna tell me the answer. Is he a
Teflon president at this point, which could be a good
or a bad thing.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
By the way, from what I understand it as this
is always doing my own research in my experience, is
that there's a military occupancy in it continuity of government,
so that allows all the portions of the government to
just function for essential purposes. And the whole concept of
(11:13):
switching to the goldback currency in the digital crypto that
is all part of a massive wealth transfer, and they're
literally shifting the way the banking system works globally, which
is bound to cause a lot of disruption. So what
the military has done has done a lot of different
(11:34):
operations working with FEMA to h with the natural disasters.
That's why you're either seeing a lot of something or
you're not seeing a lot of something because delegations of
authority occurred where you're not really seeing on the mainstream
media what's really going on behind it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
So Edward, hold on here for a second. You're taking
me down a totally different path asking a question of
is this president a teflon president? Meaning it just seems
that that nothing sticks. Rob mentioned the Epstein files. I
don't think the Epstein files have stuck yet, so I'm
not sure you'll go down a different.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
A different So everything's already been done, essentially, is what
I'm everything we're seeing. We're seeing a replay of things
that have already been done in the simplest way, and
I would urge people to do their research and look
into things. At the end of the day, it's a.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Clear Edward, I'm unclear, and if I'm unclear. I think
my audience might be unclear. I'll put it as simply
as I can. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Obviously,
Crypto is something that people are still trying to figure out.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Whether it's good or.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
You, I guess, have an opinion on it. I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I don't know how that relates to Donald Trump possibly
doing something in Venezuela or Donald Trump UH telling Ice
to go out and uh and find people arrest them.
All the controversies that have swirled around Donald Trump relate
that to what we're talking about, if you can.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Essentially, it's to stop the flow of the money. If
you cut it at the source, which is the cartels,
the people, traffic, and that whole nine yards. You cut
off the source and it's not gonna make its way
up to the top of the chain at it's simplest.
And like I said, he's switching the whole global financial system.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Okay, so do you have the way?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So do you think that what he's doing with these
cartels and even now suggesting that he might hit the
cartels on the ground in Venezuela, is that a good
thing in your mind?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Or a bad thing?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
And I would me personally. I'm gonna say it's a
good thing.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
There.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
You could say whatever you want to go, Edward, whatever
you want here. Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So now if it's a good thing, if it's a
good thing, do you think that people are going to say, hey.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
This, this is the this is the backbreaker.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I mean, with all the stuff that he's done, some
of which you almost think he trolls people.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Uh, he seems.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
At this point to be a teflon president that that
nothing has stuck on him.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I see what you're saying, him kind of being a troll.
And I think that's part of it. Is he's kind
of purposely bouncing, bouncing all over the place. Okay, I
think it's kind of part It's all part of the act,
if you will. But most of it will act the plan.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I mean, maybe it's more of a plan. Maybe it's
a strategy.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
You flood the zone, you know, just as a football team. Yeah,
football team comes out and says we're gonna yeah. Okay,
I think we're kind of talking past each other. Edward,
I really tried. Feel free to call call again. I
I just would like to get back to is he teflon?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Is there anything that he could do, you know, short
of I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It just seems to know.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Thank you very much, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
For real, Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate you thinking.
Have a great night. Good night.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Let me go next to Bill and Danvers. Bill, I'm asking,
is Donald Trump a teflon president?
Speaker 8 (15:25):
No, I you know, I don't think so. But he
does believe in a robust and I think he learned
this from the first term. A robust offense is the
best defense. And he has a list of goals he
spent a few years. I heard he has those little
sticky papers, you know, the little ones you write notes on.
He had a wall of them, and those were things
that he was going to accomplish, and he's doing one
(15:47):
at a time, and he kind of has a.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I'm a sticky paper guy too, by the way.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Yeah. But uh, and also the opposition, they don't particularly
help themselves because you know, they come out, I mean,
they're all offended about you know, the East wing of
the White House. Right, it's a historical thing. But a
few years ago, Uh, they couldn't wait to rip down
statues all over the country.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Interesting, I haven't I haven't heard that analogy that's what
my callers are, that you guys are the best callers.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Yeah, And you know, I think nowadays right when you
know you have a little time to read and I
hit in the middle of the day and between customers
or I'm at the gym now, and I think people
are more informed than you think. And when they see that,
they and they watch these guys and like, I'm here
now and I can read the unneath, like CNN and stuff.
I can almost tell you. And actually I listened to
your broadcast the news. I know you don't hear in
(16:39):
between breaks, and they're saying, well, but the inflation is
of three percent and stuff. Well, the stock market wouldn't
have rallied today the way they had said the news report,
because it came in hotter than normal. It only increased.
And the reason that market rallied is because more than
likely we're gonna have an interest rate if the inflation
had went up the way the new reporter had said
(17:01):
it that I had heard just a few breaks ago
when I first came into the gym, the market wouldn't
have rallied. But you have to watch that stuff because well.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm not in the business of second guessing the reporters
and WBZ.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Okay, I was actually shocked when I heard it. They're
pretty good. You know, they're in the middle a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And you know, the point I wanted to make to you,
Bill is that I do a talk show. I have
a wide opportunity to express my opinion, to raise issues,
to invite callers, and I give callers a wide swath
to say what they o.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
No, you do like they like the guy ahead of
me that you were very pacib with him. I was
kind of lost myself, to be.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Honest, I was hoping he was going to bring it
together at the end. But that's okay. He'll call again sometimes.
But the point let me finish if I could. The
point that I'm trying to make is, you know, the
fact that he's a teflon president.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Which is my theory here.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay, maybe that's a good thing, maybe that's a bad thing.
It's it's people can look at it different ways. People
who like Donald Trump may say, hey, they've thrown everything
at him but the kitchen sink and nothing stuck. Others
might say it bounces off because he's moving too quickly
(18:26):
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The bottom line is he's an interesting president. There was
a comment that he made the other day which did
offend me, to be honest with you, And I don't
know if you heard this comment.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
He's supposed he was upset.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
With new Gingrich because New Gingridge said that he was
the third greatest president behind Lincoln in Washington.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And President Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Was offended that that gingridg would put up Washington and
Lincoln ahead of him.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Did you hear that comment?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (18:56):
No, I didn't, But he could have said. I don't
know if he don't said joke, or maybe he'd you know,
behind closed doors, hey new you know it was only
or whatever. So I don't know about that. I mean,
I mean, I mean you have to say, you know,
Washington got everything started and held it together and Lincoln
saved it. So you know, you gotta put those two guys.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
That's a tough bar to beat, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
But I just want to say, yeah, when you had,
when you have time. The Venezuelan thing. If you dig
a little deeper, there's an islands called Margarita up there.
It used to be a beautiful place, but that's a
training ground. Now you got Hesbaal and Hamas. Then okay,
spend some time and look into that. That's why he's anxious.
We're in a hemisphere.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, here's the deal. If that's true, that's that's the
first I've heard of it. What's your source. I'm not
challenging you. I'm asking you.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
You know, I heard and read something about a year
or two ago, and I couldn't tell you. And then
I heard something again recently, and he does have ties
with those guys.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Guy challenging in Bill, I'm asking.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
What's I don't know? I didn't I've read a few
a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And then okay, let me tell you this.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Okay, Gospel was decimated, okay, and Hamas is in rough shape.
They're on the ropes. I can't imagine any if I
was a Hesbala fighter or a Hamas fighter, I would
love to be on an island off the coast of Zeuela.
But I don't think that the commanders would be thrilled
(20:33):
with me. What did you say? The island was called Margharita.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
It was a great little tourist place. It was almost
something like a rubric because you know, Venezuela is very close.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, I'll tell you what. I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But guess what, I really I really read a lot.
I really do read a lot, and I read from
a lot of places. What you're telling me is news
to me.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And I'll get to the bottom of it for you, Okay,
I promise I will.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Yeah, And if I find anything, I'll send it to you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Well, that's always helpful. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And again, you know, there's a lot of wacky right
wing news sources out there that that uh, it's a
big charade, the real news or right wing news or
whatever it is. And they're as bad as the left
wing newspeople.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You know one thing I learned as a journalist, You trust,
but verify. You trust, but verify. That's what Ronald Reagan said,
you trust, but verify.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I got to run. Bill. I love you calls, you
know that, man. You're a great caller. You thanks, talk soon.
Good night.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We'll be right back on Nightside one line six, one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It's night Side with Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
All right, Bill and Davers.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
There is a Margharita island off the coast of Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
It is part of Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
It is a beautiful island, I try to find any
connection between that island and Hespola or Hamas. People are
still going to this island for vacations. Okay, here's something
from trip Advisor Marguerite Island all you must know before
(22:13):
you go. It offics Caribbean beaches, windsurfing, golf, and scuba.
So I don't think that Hespola or Hamas are training
on this island.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
There was a lot of articles in the years twenty
nineteen twenty twenty of Hespola did have a presence in
a relationship with back in the day President Hugo Chavez.
I have pictures of him here at a rally for
(22:51):
two thousand and six with Sheikh Hassan Nosrala, who was
the head of Hespola. He was taken out by the
in an air attack in September of twenty twenty four,
and Ugo Jabs is long gone too. I don't think
(23:12):
I'm satisfied, having done my thorough sarch here that Hamas
and Hespola do not have fighters on that island. But
maybe they might have been a time where they were
thinking of it. Tony is in Malden, Tony next on
night Side.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Is it going by?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
You're doing tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I'm doing great, Tony. What's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So I was trying to catch you on the snap
question because it's a lot more. Oh great, great. So
here's my theory on this. Now, I understand where you
come from. What're using the budget. I think it's great
to think outside the box and say, okay, you haven't
used that emergency fund that's there. But the problem that
I see personally with multiple people is the people that
(23:55):
are taking advantage of that SNAP. The food stamps program
now now they there's more people taking advantage of it
than there are people that actually need it. And I'm
all for helping everybody, and the people that do need it,
I think they should get it. I see people posting
videos how they're upset because they have to do. They said, oh,
maybe you can give community service and we'll give you
(24:18):
X amount of dollars. Now I know multiple people that
have multiple kids. So what they do is they pop
out kids. I shouldn't say like that, but have kids,
more kids, more kids, and then every kid that they have,
they're getting all this money, four or five grand food stamps.
Now go back to the cookies like yourself. You do
it out because you know, it's not a smart thing
(24:39):
to be putting that in your budget if you can't
afford it, So you're doing without. I'm doing without. The
rest of the world is working wi our asses off
to to make money to make this, you know, make
the world go around, make the world better.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
No, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'm with you here generally, by the way, I can
afford the four dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Oh yeah, I know you.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
However, it runs against my rain for me to spend
money on something that I know should be costed maybe
three p forty nine.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
But put that out point.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, I'm with you totally on this.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But what I'm saying is I don't want to see
the politicians here in Massachusetts, who are all Democratic, using
poor people for leverage in a fight with the Republicans
over you know, the.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Shot, just get up a hand. I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And what I'm saying is, we have eight point eight billion,
at least eight point probably closer than nine billion, the
way the market has been going the last year or so,
in the.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Rainy Day Fund. We could take care of every person.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
In Massachusetts who was on snap legitimately or illegitimately, and
we wouldn't even put a hot put a dent into
that rainy day fund.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
And I want to throw that out there so that
some reporters maybe are smart enough to ask Governor Healy,
or the Senate or the House Speaker Mariano, or or
the Senate.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
The President Karen spoke up, why why why are we
not taking care of our people here? The other ones
who are crying crocodile tears. That's all I'm saying, Tony,
I get you.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
So now I see what you're saying. What in regards
to use it as a leverage perspective, I do fel they.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Want to use it as leverage.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
They want to use the suffering of poor people as leverage. Okay,
I don't want to see anybody who's poor and who
has kids and needs food used as leverage by anyone,
Republicans or Democrats.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I don't think anybody wants to see that for the
people that really need.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
It, I think, right, right, right, And look, do I
think that this fraud do?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I sure there is, and it's up to us those
programs that But that's the secondary argument right now, because
I just think it's important. I really do. I feel
that it is in my soul.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I agree with you. I just feel like that solution
would be an awesome solution if could be regulated the
proper way. But knowing what I see with people around
and how many people I see take advantage of it.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That's I hear you. I'm happy that I could go
back and accommodate that question.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I thank you.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I wish you would call during the nine because that
would have been. Yeah, best call us in the nine.
But do me a favor more, call more.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Often, first time. First time gets you on the clause.
I'm loving it.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Thanks, Tony, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Touch back in again. You have a great night, art
looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Thanks very much. Let me know what you call it again. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Let's keep rolling here. We're going to get everybody in.
Diane and Bill Rick and Diane next on night Side.
Welcome back.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Hi, how are you?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I'm doing great?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And how are you a rear appearance, but I'm delighted
to have you with us tonight.
Speaker 10 (27:53):
Yes, I'm still surviving survivors anyway with mister President Donald Trump. Yes, well,
years ago, growing up in New York, he was always
called teflon down, so that name has been with.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
Him for a long time.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
I left New York in nineteen eighty eight and he
was called that, well speaking as well, was it was he?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Let me ask you this was he called that? Or
was this some like mafiosa guys called that?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
No? No, no, no no.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
He was called because of Atlantic City and everything and
all the bankrupt seeds and you know, makeing millions again.
So they always said, like, you know, yeah, it wasn't.
It wasn't Godi Teflon, You know it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
I worked for those guys.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well Gotti was John, so it would have been Teflon John.
Speaker 10 (28:47):
Yeah, yeah, well it it came to be today.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
It came to be today.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I was talking with Marita and I was saying that
some politicians, everything they do, it's like belcrow, It sticks
on them. And all of a sudden, I said, he's
with him. It's like deaflong. He's like deathlong. You know,
the stuff you spray on your on your frying pier
when you want to not had the eight stick.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
In the morning.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
Right, But you know what, I think it is too one.
What was it nine years ago?
Speaker 12 (29:17):
He came down that escalator and the bashing started, so
then they were saying he was going to do all
this stuff and ruin the country, and he did four
years and he didn't ruin the country.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
You know, things are pretty good back then. And then
four years just passed and wide open borders, and you know,
the bashing continued, and you know, they tried to shoot him,
they tried everything, they tried to indict them.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Were they day?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
What would you say they? As far as we know,
I'm just being very careful what we say here. Do
you say they some kid who was twenty years old
in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
I don't think he was a day. I think it
was a heat.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And the nut jogged down in Florida who was sitting
out there and had a pretty heavy duty weapon.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
He also was a he. There's no suggestion that I
know of.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
There's certainly a question that haven't been answered, questions haven't
been answered, but no suggestion we know of that there
was any more than a than a messed up.
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Twenty years right exactly. But but I'm sure they all
prayed it, you know. Well, I don't know anyway.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
They are again if they prayed it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
But I will say this, I think that some of
the language that the left has thrown around on people
that they're fascist and they're racist because they disagree on
an issue. Yeah, I think that that has we got
to calm We got to calm the conversation down. And
what I'm trying to do that on night side, to
be really honest with you.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Okay, So yeah, so they well I'm saying they like,
I don't mean Democrats or anything. The people you know
that have dashed him and everything all these years and
said he's going to sell world War three and actually
he's he's stopping wars.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
They went, they went from accusing him that if he
gets if he's elected, we'll be in World War three.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
But then the next narrative was he's Putin's best friend.
So you can't have.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
That both ways.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You can't be ready to nuke Russia and still be
Putin's best friend.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And I don't think he's either of them. I think
he's he's as who's.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Trying to who's trying to move Putin in a way. Now,
they may come a point in time where he's gonna
have to get tougher, but I think so far he's
negotiated it pretty well.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Again, it was.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Biden who in twenty twenty two, after Russia had master
troops on the border of Ukraine, Biden said one word,
don't that through the fear of God?
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And them didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And look at it.
Speaker 10 (31:52):
We're still here, you know, three years later in the war.
Well we're not at war. But you know what I mean, Well,
I mean anyway old people, but I feel people are
not listening to all the chatter anymore, and they're looking
at what he's doing, and that's why things aren't sticking
like that.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Now.
Speaker 10 (32:10):
It's the Epstein file, you know, like years ago he
kicked Epstein out of him al ago because him hitting
on somebody's daughter, you know, so like it's like, come on, guys, like,
let's just move on and fix this masking.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Well it's there.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It's almost like from a medical point of view, someone
is immunized.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
You know, you have it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, you catch some measles or something, and that the
very fact that you that you caught the measles, you're.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Now immunized going forward.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I don't know, just the thought, Diane, I gotta let
you get to work and I gotta get to a
commercial break.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Okay, thank you so.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
Much, as all Yes, and have a great night and
talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Thanks Diane, looking forward to it. Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Okay, all right, we're gonna take quick break back on
night Side right after this. I'm gonna get Gareth in.
I've got George and I got Jim. Gonna start in
that or are going to go Gareth, George and Jim
and if you want to try, I'll try to get
you in. And then next hour we're gonna ask you
about your favorite type of pizza, your favorite pizza place.
Let's have some fun and coming back on the twentieth hour,
(33:15):
but we still have some conversation left on. Is Donald
Trump a Teflon president?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Okay, back we go. Let me go to Gareth in Dorchester. Gareth,
thank you for your patience. Next on Nightside.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yes, how are you Dan, I'm doing great, Gareth, hope
you're doing well.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Yes, I'm doing fun. It's so many things that you've
been talking about tonight. First I would say, yes, our
president is teflon a last up to date he has
been Yeah, I've seen him, you know with you know,
I'm old enough to know, you know, he's done a
lot of things that I would say were unethical and
(33:58):
some would say illegal, but hasn't stuck. And so you
know my thoughts, he must have a fairy godmother, like
you know, taking care of him, because you know, and
I think you could attest. I've never seen someone escape
so many close calls, you know, like going on there,
most definitely, most definitely. And then and then one of
(34:21):
your callers was talking about the SNAP program. And you know,
I got some advice before I ran for office. It
was an oxygenarian from Roxbury named Mother Hurd, and she
said to me, she said, Gareth never oppose seizing feeding people,
always support feeding hungry people. And I took her advice,
(34:43):
and I think that's great advice. You don't throw away
the baby with the bath order because I know, you know,
there's always gonna be some fraud abuse in whatever happens,
but you don't. You don't destroy your program, or you
don't punish people on a program because there are a
few bad apples.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I agree with you, And we have an eight point
eight billion dollar rainy day fund. And if this may
not be a rainy day for you and me because
we're not impacted directly, but it will be a rainy
day for poor people. And I think the Democratic politicians
who run Massachusetts need to open up that rainy day
fund and take care of hungry people in Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
If the federal government, if it was only that issue, Dan,
I would agree with you. But you know the Feds
are holding back transportation dollars. You know they're holding back
education dollars. You know, so.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
We could fight all those issues, Gareth. What I'm saying
is for us to say, because we need more transportation dollars,
because we need more education dollars, because we need more
dollars for roads or sewers or whatever, people are gonna
be hungry.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Not my Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
No, No, I definitely understand your sentiment.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I have a bunch, I got a bunch of folks here.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Will you go ahead, You can be quick, but I
want you to I was.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
Just I would just say that the Democrats, I believe
they they are not going to vote on the CR
because they don't trust the Republican leadership and our president.
Because you know, if they would just go ahead and
pass the CR and then negotiate, they feel that the
republic Republicans are and tell them to go get last.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So that's why they're if the Republicans do that, well, no,
they they don't want to do it. We will disagree
on that one. But I got other callers I got
to get to. All right, did you get that point in?
I know you and I respect you. You know that
from your time in public service, and I wish they
were more Democrats like you in elected office in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Gareth.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
Oh, you're so kind and I appreciate your journalism.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
See you later, talk to you soon. Good night.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Okay, I'm gonna try to get everybody in here. I'm
gonna try. I'm gonna try George and Fitchburgh. George, I
got room for you and at least one more. Jimmy
Kansas City waits go ahead, George.
Speaker 11 (37:05):
Oh, thank you. I was sociating to all this and
what's going on. I got a Newsweek thing that says
that the President Donald Trump has twenty million dollars twenty
billion and this crypto currency thing that he started and
(37:27):
it's going across the country.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Now, yeah, he didn't start.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
He didn't start crypto currency. But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
He's got he's got his own crypto deal here at
the start that he put out. I think it opened
up around forty and it's now down to around eighteen.
So that has been a loser for the people who
invested in that.
Speaker 11 (37:49):
Yeah, they're still operating, sucking in the money. Well, anyway,
as far as that goes, it's a problem. And in
Massachusetts that we have it shouldn't be between Republicans or Democrats.
We need to fund the people that need to be supported.
(38:15):
And that's one thing I thought for this country. I
came back, I found out that things that got separated.
I got people booed me and everything. And that's the
way I when. So that's the way it is.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Well, thank you for your service, and thank you for
your phone call. I do appreciate it. I'm just going
to try to get one more in here, George.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
Okay, thank you, Dan, it's been not good to you.
Great again.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Thank you very much. Okay, talk to you soon. Let
me go to Jim in Kansas City. Jim, you gotta
be quick for me, buddy.
Speaker 13 (38:46):
Go ahead, Hi, Dan, I'll be very quick for you.
I am too infuriated to talk to you right now
about being hung up on and put to the back
of the line and wait on hold. For forty five minutes.
So there you go. That was quick by.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Okay, you were not at the back of the line, Jim,
but that's okay. I hope you you don't feel that way. Actually,
John is at the back of the line.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Go ahead, John, and got about a minute for here,
Go ahead, John.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (39:12):
Just a couple of things.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
The Dems were upset that John Trump spent two hundred
million on the ballroom and it's private money, by the way,
but they had no problem when Joe Biden left eighty
five billion dollars eighty five billion dollars with the military
equipment in Afghanistan and mar Healey's talking about the Snap program,
mass Pike scandal, Dan just the past few months, they
left a billion dollars on the table. Masters is going
(39:35):
to lose a billion dollars in that contract. And then
with this host government.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Oh yeah, John, I was all over that story, and
we will know you a great to be on that story.
And I thank you for raising that point.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
Exactly. And I don't want I don't think America chef
has been one point five or one point seven twillion
dollars for healthcare for illegals that our citizens at some
point the grievous. We need to Massachussetts.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Then, oh absolutely, I had Diana and Dosaugli.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
As a matter of fact, we will have that hour
with her from earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
She was with us.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Uh, it was on Tuesday night. We will play if
you miss that, we have a replay of that on
Sunday night at eleven. Best of Nightside, John, I got
to run for now. Thank you man. You gotta call earlier. Buddy,
you were the last caller because you called in last.
When we get back, your favorite pizza or your favorite
pizza place. My producer Marita said this would be a
(40:34):
great topic. Let's hope she's right. Coming back on Nightside,
We're good. This is National Pizza Month. I might even
be National Pizza Day. It's timely coming back on Nightside,
It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBS Coustin's new
radio or.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're going to change our focus just a little bit here,
and I want to get more of you involved in
the conversation. I think as I've watched President Trump in
the last few months engage in so many circumstances.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
As a matter of.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Fact, some of them I've approved of. Some of them
I have disapproved of, but which is my right as
simply not a talk show host, but as an American citizen.
I think that there are things that he's done which
were well, which were very well, and we can talk
about those, but I think you know how I feel.
At the same time, he has engaged in a lot
(00:51):
of initiatives which I'll say are unprecedented. That's a relatively
neutral word, unprecedented. So for example, if you think about
the tariffs which were announced on Liberation Day on April second,
I think they originally had its scheduled April first, it
(01:13):
was April second, and there was a lot of adverse
reaction from the stock market. The stock market took a
huge hit, huge hit immediately. It was down about twenty percent,
which is close to getting a market to the point
of a bear market. But it came back. It came back.
It took two or three or four weeks to come
(01:34):
back fully, but it came back. In the meantime, he
got involved in these conversations with Iran and they didn't
go very well, and he seemed to have some patience,
and then he gave him a couple of deadlines. Those
deadlines passed, and then he sent the American self bombers
over to wipe out their nuclear program by hitting the
(01:56):
mountains where all of that fissionable materials were buried deep
under rocks. And there was a lot of adverse reaction
to that initially, but guess what, I think that worked
out pretty well now.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Conversely, there's there's a lot of controversy going on with
the not the border.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think virtually everybody has looked at what he has
done in terms of tightening the border and has said
they agree. I even watched an interview with the Governor
of Illinois today in which he seemed to agree on
on that. The tightening of the border, the reassertion of
our control over our southern and I assume our northern border.
(02:38):
But uh, the the ice surge has generated a lot
of controversy. There have been, uh, you know, some pretty
ugly incidents that we have seen. We've we've watched the
ice officers do what they feel they have to do
(03:01):
in certain cities.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's got it's gotten just downright ugly.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And you take all of these activities and then you
add into that the idea of blowing the drug boats
out of the water.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Now, do I think the drug boats? Yeah? I do.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I think when you've got a high speed boat making
its way towards the United States from the Caribbean, it's
it's not a family out enjoying their their their high
speed boat. Uh, It's it's drug runners. And I accept
that our Defense Department officials have figured out uh and uh,
(03:38):
And I accept what what's being done. You engage yourself
in that sort of activity, you take some chances. We
now have US naval power pretty much heading towards Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I don't know what that means. Is there something Alan
Manuel Noriega going on?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
But with all of this activity, the conversation about buying Greenland,
the conversation about rebuilding gaza and casinos on the Mediterranean Gaza,
what's going on at the White House right now? People
are very upset about that. They were very upset about
(04:19):
the Fourth of July parade and the military in Washington,
which cost a lot of money. They were upset the
fact that there was American military hardware going down streets
in Washington, d C. With a concern that that military
hardware would damage the infrastructure of the nation's capital. Look,
(04:41):
I'm sure there are things that he's done that you
have questioned. But my question to you tonight is this.
Nothing seems to stick on Donald Trump. Is it that
he's moving so fast one from one thing to the next.
You had the big No King's rallies last weekend. People
(05:05):
turned out. I think they said they were twenty five
hundred demonstrations nationwide. I don't doubt that, but I don't
know that that changes the politics of it. My question
is pretty simple. If you agree with me that, oh, sure,
amongst those who didn't vote for him and those who
(05:28):
didn't vote for him in twenty sixteen, and those that
voted for Democrats. And I didn't vote for him in
twenty sixteen, twenty twenty or twenty four I've said that before,
but I didn't vote for the Democrat either, And I
guess I'm Switzerland and all of this, but I want
to hear from you. Is he a teflon president? Meaning
(05:53):
that virtually anything that he has done so far, nothing
has really.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Stuck to him. Nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There's nothing that he has done that the middle of America,
the people who made him president, the people who voted
him in in the seven swing states, because that's what
decided the election.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
There's no indication that they have turned on him. Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
He enjoys their support. He is, He's available, he's accessible.
Is it just that he has the vigor that his
predecessor didn't have?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
What?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What is the secret sauce for Donald Trump? And I
and I mean that that.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I asked that question honestly.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Uh? Is it his accessibility? I mean it seems like
he's holding a news conference every other day, or or
at least some sort of a gaggle.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
He's speaking from behind the oval, from behind the desk
at the White House, in the in the Oval office,
or he's in the Cabinet room. So that's my question
to you. Uh, is he a teflon president? Can he
get away? I don't think he can get away with everything,
(07:10):
but he's got away with everything so far, unlike his term,
his first term, no democrat is saying we're going to
impeach him. He was asked today about whether or not
he needed congressional approval to take action against Venezuela. He
(07:31):
gave an answer which you couldn't pin him down, but
basically says, I don't think so, but we'll see. But
there's no Democrat that I know of who's suggesting that
he'd be impeached. Maybe the Democrats have learned that lesson.
Maybe he's done nothing which rises that, so gonna open
it up. I don't care if you're a supporter or
(07:52):
if you're a critic, you've got to agree that there's nothing.
There's nothing that the devil Democrats have have have raised
which is stuck to Donald Trump. He is a teflon
president at this point. He may not always be, but
as of now, nothing has stuck. Six one, seven, two, five,
(08:15):
four thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty
New callers always welcome, regular callers, come on back. We'll
be back on Nightside right after this.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
All right, so the questions pretty simple.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't again, most of the questions I ask my audience,
there's no right or wrong answer.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It's your opinion that's important.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
As I have said on many of our podcasts, UH,
and our our pregames and our post games. This program
is not the Dan Ray Show. This program is Night
Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
You're the sh show. I'm simply the host.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Six one, seven, two, four, ten thirty. There's a one
line open. It's right there picking up and we'll get
you on. Edward is in Braintree. Edward, welcome, how are you.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I'm doing all right?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Thank you for taking my call. I kind of an
itching to answer this question from my experience, but.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, you know, here's the deal. I thought of this
today and I got to be honest with you. If
you can, I just take you into confidence for a
moment here. Doing this show, I try to come up
with different topics or different questions under different topics.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
This is one I thought about today, Edward, to be
honest with you. Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
And there was an Edward from Braintree who used to
be a regular caller.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
That's not you, right, I'm not sure you're not sure?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well no, he he prided himself as a regular hot caller,
so your last name doesn't begin with the letter T.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
It does because your last the letter T.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
No, it does not.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Good, that's a different guy. Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
The point is if it was, I'd say, welcome back.
Have you called before?
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I think I have called him the past?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay, great, Well, you know, UH, be a more frequent
So the idea is that when I do this show
I watched during the day different you know TV shows,
and there's a panel of like eight people or I
and they're on for an hour, uh, and they have
sixteen producers. I'm one one host with rob answering the
(10:35):
phones at night and Marita during the day. So it's
tough to come up with novel questions. And this is
what I have never thought of before it hit me today.
So you're gonna tell me the answer. Is he a
Teflon president at this point, which could be a good
or a bad thing.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
By the way, from what I understand it as this
is always doing my own research in my experience, is
that there's a military occupancy in it continuity of government,
so that allows all the portions of the government to
just function for essential purposes. And the whole concept of
(11:13):
switching to the goldback currency in the digital crypto that
is all part of a massive wealth transfer, and they're
literally shifting the way the banking system works globally, which
is bound to cause a lot of disruption. So what
the military has done has done a lot of different
(11:34):
operations working with FEMA to h with the natural disasters.
That's why you're either seeing a lot of something or
you're not seeing a lot of something because delegations of
authority occurred where you're not really seeing on the mainstream
media what's really going on behind it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
So Edward, hold on here for a second. You're taking
me down a totally different path asking a question of
is this president a teflon president? Meaning it just seems
that that nothing sticks. Rob mentioned the Epstein files. I
don't think the Epstein files have stuck yet, so I'm
not sure you'll go down a different.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
A different So everything's already been done, essentially, is what
I'm everything we're seeing. We're seeing a replay of things
that have already been done in the simplest way, and
I would urge people to do their research and look
into things. At the end of the day, it's a.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Clear Edward, I'm unclear, and if I'm unclear. I think
my audience might be unclear. I'll put it as simply
as I can. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Obviously,
Crypto is something that people are still trying to figure out.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Whether it's good or.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
You, I guess, have an opinion on it. I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I don't know how that relates to Donald Trump possibly
doing something in Venezuela or Donald Trump UH telling Ice
to go out and uh and find people arrest them.
All the controversies that have swirled around Donald Trump relate
that to what we're talking about, if you can.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Essentially, it's to stop the flow of the money. If
you cut it at the source, which is the cartels,
the people, traffic, and that whole nine yards. You cut
off the source and it's not gonna make its way
up to the top of the chain at it's simplest.
And like I said, he's switching the whole global financial system.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Okay, so do you have the way?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So do you think that what he's doing with these
cartels and even now suggesting that he might hit the
cartels on the ground in Venezuela, is that a good
thing in your mind?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Or a bad thing?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
And I would me personally. I'm gonna say it's a
good thing.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
There.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
You could say whatever you want to go, Edward, whatever
you want here. Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So now if it's a good thing, if it's a
good thing, do you think that people are going to say, hey.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
This, this is the this is the backbreaker.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I mean, with all the stuff that he's done, some
of which you almost think he trolls people.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Uh, he seems.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
At this point to be a teflon president that that
nothing has stuck on him.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I see what you're saying, him kind of being a troll.
And I think that's part of it. Is he's kind
of purposely bouncing, bouncing all over the place. Okay, I
think it's kind of part It's all part of the act,
if you will. But most of it will act the plan.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I mean, maybe it's more of a plan. Maybe it's
a strategy.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
You flood the zone, you know, just as a football team. Yeah,
football team comes out and says we're gonna yeah. Okay,
I think we're kind of talking past each other. Edward,
I really tried. Feel free to call call again. I
I just would like to get back to is he teflon?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Is there anything that he could do, you know, short
of I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It just seems to know.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
Thank you very much, you know.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
For real, Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate you thinking.
Have a great night. Good night.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Let me go next to Bill and Danvers. Bill, I'm asking,
is Donald Trump a teflon president?
Speaker 8 (15:25):
No, I you know, I don't think so. But he
does believe in a robust and I think he learned
this from the first term. A robust offense is the
best defense. And he has a list of goals he
spent a few years. I heard he has those little
sticky papers, you know, the little ones you write notes on.
He had a wall of them, and those were things
that he was going to accomplish, and he's doing one
(15:47):
at a time, and he kind of has a.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
I'm a sticky paper guy too, by the way.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Yeah. But uh, and also the opposition, they don't particularly
help themselves because you know, they come out, I mean,
they're all offended about you know, the East wing of
the White House. Right, it's a historical thing. But a
few years ago, Uh, they couldn't wait to rip down
statues all over the country.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Interesting, I haven't I haven't heard that analogy that's what
my callers are, that you guys are the best callers.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
Yeah, And you know, I think nowadays right when you
know you have a little time to read and I
hit in the middle of the day and between customers
or I'm at the gym now, and I think people
are more informed than you think. And when they see that,
they and they watch these guys and like, I'm here
now and I can read the unneath, like CNN and stuff.
I can almost tell you. And actually I listened to
your broadcast the news. I know you don't hear in
(16:39):
between breaks, and they're saying, well, but the inflation is
of three percent and stuff. Well, the stock market wouldn't
have rallied today the way they had said the news report,
because it came in hotter than normal. It only increased.
And the reason that market rallied is because more than
likely we're gonna have an interest rate if the inflation
had went up the way the new reporter had said
(17:01):
it that I had heard just a few breaks ago
when I first came into the gym, the market wouldn't
have rallied. But you have to watch that stuff because well.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm not in the business of second guessing the reporters
and WBZ.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Okay, I was actually shocked when I heard it. They're
pretty good. You know, they're in the middle a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And you know, the point I wanted to make to you,
Bill is that I do a talk show. I have
a wide opportunity to express my opinion, to raise issues,
to invite callers, and I give callers a wide swath
to say what they o.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
No, you do like they like the guy ahead of
me that you were very pacib with him. I was
kind of lost myself, to be.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Honest, I was hoping he was going to bring it
together at the end. But that's okay. He'll call again sometimes.
But the point let me finish if I could. The
point that I'm trying to make is, you know, the
fact that he's a teflon president.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Which is my theory here.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Okay, maybe that's a good thing, maybe that's a bad thing.
It's it's people can look at it different ways. People
who like Donald Trump may say, hey, they've thrown everything
at him but the kitchen sink and nothing stuck. Others
might say it bounces off because he's moving too quickly
(18:26):
or whatever.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
The bottom line is he's an interesting president. There was
a comment that he made the other day which did
offend me, to be honest with you, And I don't
know if you heard this comment.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
He's supposed he was upset.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
With new Gingrich because New Gingridge said that he was
the third greatest president behind Lincoln in Washington.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And President Trump.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Was offended that that gingridg would put up Washington and
Lincoln ahead of him.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Did you hear that comment?
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (18:56):
No, I didn't, But he could have said. I don't
know if he don't said joke, or maybe he'd you know,
behind closed doors, hey new you know it was only
or whatever. So I don't know about that. I mean,
I mean, I mean you have to say, you know,
Washington got everything started and held it together and Lincoln
saved it. So you know, you gotta put those two guys.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
That's a tough bar to beat, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
But I just want to say, yeah, when you had,
when you have time. The Venezuelan thing. If you dig
a little deeper, there's an islands called Margarita up there.
It used to be a beautiful place, but that's a
training ground. Now you got Hesbaal and Hamas. Then okay,
spend some time and look into that. That's why he's anxious.
We're in a hemisphere.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, here's the deal. If that's true, that's that's the
first I've heard of it. What's your source. I'm not
challenging you. I'm asking you.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
You know, I heard and read something about a year
or two ago, and I couldn't tell you. And then
I heard something again recently, and he does have ties
with those guys.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Guy challenging in Bill, I'm asking.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
What's I don't know? I didn't I've read a few
a few years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And then okay, let me tell you this.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Okay, Gospel was decimated, okay, and Hamas is in rough shape.
They're on the ropes. I can't imagine any if I
was a Hesbala fighter or a Hamas fighter, I would
love to be on an island off the coast of Zeuela.
But I don't think that the commanders would be thrilled
(20:33):
with me. What did you say? The island was called Margharita.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
It was a great little tourist place. It was almost
something like a rubric because you know, Venezuela is very close.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, I'll tell you what. I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But guess what, I really I really read a lot.
I really do read a lot, and I read from
a lot of places. What you're telling me is news
to me.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And I'll get to the bottom of it for you, Okay,
I promise I will.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Yeah, And if I find anything, I'll send it to you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Well, that's always helpful. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And again, you know, there's a lot of wacky right
wing news sources out there that that uh, it's a
big charade, the real news or right wing news or
whatever it is. And they're as bad as the left
wing newspeople.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
You know one thing I learned as a journalist, You trust,
but verify. You trust, but verify. That's what Ronald Reagan said,
you trust, but verify.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
I got to run. Bill. I love you calls, you
know that, man. You're a great caller. You thanks, talk soon.
Good night.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We'll be right back on Nightside one line six, one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It's night Side with Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
All right, Bill and Davers.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
There is a Margharita island off the coast of Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
It is part of Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
It is a beautiful island, I try to find any
connection between that island and Hespola or Hamas. People are
still going to this island for vacations. Okay, here's something
from trip Advisor Marguerite Island all you must know before
(22:13):
you go. It offics Caribbean beaches, windsurfing, golf, and scuba.
So I don't think that Hespola or Hamas are training
on this island.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
There was a lot of articles in the years twenty
nineteen twenty twenty of Hespola did have a presence in
a relationship with back in the day President Hugo Chavez.
I have pictures of him here at a rally for
(22:51):
two thousand and six with Sheikh Hassan Nosrala, who was
the head of Hespola. He was taken out by the
in an air attack in September of twenty twenty four,
and Ugo Jabs is long gone too. I don't think
(23:12):
I'm satisfied, having done my thorough sarch here that Hamas
and Hespola do not have fighters on that island. But
maybe they might have been a time where they were
thinking of it. Tony is in Malden, Tony next on
night Side.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
Is it going by?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
You're doing tonight.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I'm doing great, Tony. What's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So I was trying to catch you on the snap
question because it's a lot more. Oh great, great. So
here's my theory on this. Now, I understand where you
come from. What're using the budget. I think it's great
to think outside the box and say, okay, you haven't
used that emergency fund that's there. But the problem that
I see personally with multiple people is the people that
(23:55):
are taking advantage of that SNAP. The food stamps program
now now they there's more people taking advantage of it
than there are people that actually need it. And I'm
all for helping everybody, and the people that do need it,
I think they should get it. I see people posting
videos how they're upset because they have to do. They said, oh,
maybe you can give community service and we'll give you
(24:18):
X amount of dollars. Now I know multiple people that
have multiple kids. So what they do is they pop
out kids. I shouldn't say like that, but have kids,
more kids, more kids, and then every kid that they have,
they're getting all this money, four or five grand food stamps.
Now go back to the cookies like yourself. You do
it out because you know, it's not a smart thing
(24:39):
to be putting that in your budget if you can't
afford it, So you're doing without. I'm doing without. The
rest of the world is working wi our asses off
to to make money to make this, you know, make
the world go around, make the world better.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
No, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'm with you here generally, by the way, I can
afford the four dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Oh yeah, I know you.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
However, it runs against my rain for me to spend
money on something that I know should be costed maybe
three p forty nine.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
But put that out point.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, I'm with you totally on this.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But what I'm saying is I don't want to see
the politicians here in Massachusetts, who are all Democratic, using
poor people for leverage in a fight with the Republicans
over you know, the.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Shot, just get up a hand. I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And what I'm saying is, we have eight point eight billion,
at least eight point probably closer than nine billion, the
way the market has been going the last year or so,
in the.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Rainy Day Fund. We could take care of every person.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
In Massachusetts who was on snap legitimately or illegitimately, and
we wouldn't even put a hot put a dent into
that rainy day fund.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
And I want to throw that out there so that
some reporters maybe are smart enough to ask Governor Healy,
or the Senate or the House Speaker Mariano, or or
the Senate.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
The President Karen spoke up, why why why are we
not taking care of our people here? The other ones
who are crying crocodile tears. That's all I'm saying, Tony,
I get you.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
So now I see what you're saying. What in regards
to use it as a leverage perspective, I do fel they.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Want to use it as leverage.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
They want to use the suffering of poor people as leverage. Okay,
I don't want to see anybody who's poor and who
has kids and needs food used as leverage by anyone,
Republicans or Democrats.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I don't think anybody wants to see that for the
people that really need.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
It, I think, right, right, right, And look, do I
think that this fraud do?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I sure there is, and it's up to us those
programs that But that's the secondary argument right now, because
I just think it's important. I really do. I feel
that it is in my soul.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I agree with you. I just feel like that solution
would be an awesome solution if could be regulated the
proper way. But knowing what I see with people around
and how many people I see take advantage of it.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That's I hear you. I'm happy that I could go
back and accommodate that question.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I thank you.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I wish you would call during the nine because that
would have been. Yeah, best call us in the nine.
But do me a favor more, call more.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Often, first time. First time gets you on the clause.
I'm loving it.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Thanks, Tony, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Touch back in again. You have a great night, art
looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Thanks very much. Let me know what you call it again. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Let's keep rolling here. We're going to get everybody in.
Diane and Bill Rick and Diane next on night Side.
Welcome back.
Speaker 10 (27:45):
Hi, how are you?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I'm doing great?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
And how are you a rear appearance, but I'm delighted
to have you with us tonight.
Speaker 10 (27:53):
Yes, I'm still surviving survivors anyway with mister President Donald Trump. Yes, well,
years ago, growing up in New York, he was always
called teflon down, so that name has been with.
Speaker 11 (28:08):
Him for a long time.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
I left New York in nineteen eighty eight and he
was called that, well speaking as well, was it was he?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Let me ask you this was he called that? Or
was this some like mafiosa guys called that?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
No? No, no, no no.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
He was called because of Atlantic City and everything and
all the bankrupt seeds and you know, makeing millions again.
So they always said, like, you know, yeah, it wasn't.
It wasn't Godi Teflon, You know it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
I worked for those guys.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Well Gotti was John, so it would have been Teflon John.
Speaker 10 (28:47):
Yeah, yeah, well it it came to be today.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
It came to be today.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I was talking with Marita and I was saying that
some politicians, everything they do, it's like belcrow, It sticks
on them. And all of a sudden, I said, he's
with him. It's like deaflong. He's like deathlong. You know,
the stuff you spray on your on your frying pier
when you want to not had the eight stick.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
In the morning.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
Right, But you know what, I think it is too one.
What was it nine years ago?
Speaker 12 (29:17):
He came down that escalator and the bashing started, so
then they were saying he was going to do all
this stuff and ruin the country, and he did four
years and he didn't ruin the country.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
You know, things are pretty good back then. And then
four years just passed and wide open borders, and you know,
the bashing continued, and you know, they tried to shoot him,
they tried everything, they tried to indict them.
Speaker 9 (29:43):
Were they day?
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
What would you say they? As far as we know,
I'm just being very careful what we say here. Do
you say they some kid who was twenty years old
in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
I don't think he was a day. I think it
was a heat.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And the nut jogged down in Florida who was sitting
out there and had a pretty heavy duty weapon.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
He also was a he. There's no suggestion that I
know of.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
There's certainly a question that haven't been answered, questions haven't
been answered, but no suggestion we know of that there
was any more than a than a messed up.
Speaker 10 (30:16):
Twenty years right exactly. But but I'm sure they all
prayed it, you know. Well, I don't know anyway.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
They are again if they prayed it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
But I will say this, I think that some of
the language that the left has thrown around on people
that they're fascist and they're racist because they disagree on
an issue. Yeah, I think that that has we got
to calm We got to calm the conversation down. And
what I'm trying to do that on night side, to
be really honest with you.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Okay, So yeah, so they well I'm saying they like,
I don't mean Democrats or anything. The people you know
that have dashed him and everything all these years and
said he's going to sell world War three and actually
he's he's stopping wars.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
They went, they went from accusing him that if he
gets if he's elected, we'll be in World War three.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
But then the next narrative was he's Putin's best friend.
So you can't have.
Speaker 10 (31:15):
That both ways.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You can't be ready to nuke Russia and still be
Putin's best friend.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
And I don't think he's either of them. I think
he's he's as who's.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Trying to who's trying to move Putin in a way. Now,
they may come a point in time where he's gonna
have to get tougher, but I think so far he's
negotiated it pretty well.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Again, it was.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Biden who in twenty twenty two, after Russia had master
troops on the border of Ukraine, Biden said one word,
don't that through the fear of God?
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And them didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And look at it.
Speaker 10 (31:52):
We're still here, you know, three years later in the war.
Well we're not at war. But you know what I mean, Well,
I mean anyway old people, but I feel people are
not listening to all the chatter anymore, and they're looking
at what he's doing, and that's why things aren't sticking
like that.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Now.
Speaker 10 (32:10):
It's the Epstein file, you know, like years ago he
kicked Epstein out of him al ago because him hitting
on somebody's daughter, you know, so like it's like, come on, guys, like,
let's just move on and fix this masking.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Well it's there.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It's almost like from a medical point of view, someone
is immunized.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
You know, you have it.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, you catch some measles or something, and that the
very fact that you that you caught the measles, you're.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Now immunized going forward.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I don't know, just the thought, Diane, I gotta let
you get to work and I gotta get to a
commercial break.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Okay, thank you so.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
Much, as all Yes, and have a great night and
talk to you soon.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Thanks Diane, looking forward to it. Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Okay, all right, we're gonna take quick break back on
night Side right after this. I'm gonna get Gareth in.
I've got George and I got Jim. Gonna start in
that or are going to go Gareth, George and Jim
and if you want to try, I'll try to get
you in. And then next hour we're gonna ask you
about your favorite type of pizza, your favorite pizza place.
Let's have some fun and coming back on the twentieth hour,
(33:15):
but we still have some conversation left on. Is Donald
Trump a Teflon president?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Okay, back we go. Let me go to Gareth in Dorchester. Gareth,
thank you for your patience. Next on Nightside.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yes, how are you Dan, I'm doing great, Gareth, hope
you're doing well.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
Yes, I'm doing fun. It's so many things that you've
been talking about tonight. First I would say, yes, our
president is teflon a last up to date he has
been Yeah, I've seen him, you know with you know,
I'm old enough to know, you know, he's done a
lot of things that I would say were unethical and
(33:58):
some would say illegal, but hasn't stuck. And so you
know my thoughts, he must have a fairy godmother, like
you know, taking care of him, because you know, and
I think you could attest. I've never seen someone escape
so many close calls, you know, like going on there,
most definitely, most definitely. And then and then one of
(34:21):
your callers was talking about the SNAP program. And you know,
I got some advice before I ran for office. It
was an oxygenarian from Roxbury named Mother Hurd, and she
said to me, she said, Gareth never oppose seizing feeding people,
always support feeding hungry people. And I took her advice,
(34:43):
and I think that's great advice. You don't throw away
the baby with the bath order because I know, you know,
there's always gonna be some fraud abuse in whatever happens,
but you don't. You don't destroy your program, or you
don't punish people on a program because there are a
few bad apples.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I agree with you, And we have an eight point
eight billion dollar rainy day fund. And if this may
not be a rainy day for you and me because
we're not impacted directly, but it will be a rainy
day for poor people. And I think the Democratic politicians
who run Massachusetts need to open up that rainy day
fund and take care of hungry people in Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
If the federal government, if it was only that issue, Dan,
I would agree with you. But you know the Feds
are holding back transportation dollars. You know they're holding back
education dollars. You know, so.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
We could fight all those issues, Gareth. What I'm saying
is for us to say, because we need more transportation dollars,
because we need more education dollars, because we need more
dollars for roads or sewers or whatever, people are gonna
be hungry.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Not my Massachusetts.
Speaker 9 (35:54):
No, No, I definitely understand your sentiment.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I have a bunch, I got a bunch of folks here.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Will you go ahead, You can be quick, but I
want you to I was.
Speaker 9 (36:06):
Just I would just say that the Democrats, I believe
they they are not going to vote on the CR
because they don't trust the Republican leadership and our president.
Because you know, if they would just go ahead and
pass the CR and then negotiate, they feel that the
republic Republicans are and tell them to go get last.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
So that's why they're if the Republicans do that, well, no,
they they don't want to do it. We will disagree
on that one. But I got other callers I got
to get to. All right, did you get that point in?
I know you and I respect you. You know that
from your time in public service, and I wish they
were more Democrats like you in elected office in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Gareth.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
Oh, you're so kind and I appreciate your journalism.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
See you later, talk to you soon. Good night.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Okay, I'm gonna try to get everybody in here. I'm
gonna try. I'm gonna try George and Fitchburgh. George, I
got room for you and at least one more. Jimmy
Kansas City waits go ahead, George.
Speaker 11 (37:05):
Oh, thank you. I was sociating to all this and
what's going on. I got a Newsweek thing that says
that the President Donald Trump has twenty million dollars twenty
billion and this crypto currency thing that he started and
(37:27):
it's going across the country.
Speaker 6 (37:29):
Now, yeah, he didn't start.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
He didn't start crypto currency. But that's okay.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
He's got he's got his own crypto deal here at
the start that he put out. I think it opened
up around forty and it's now down to around eighteen.
So that has been a loser for the people who
invested in that.
Speaker 11 (37:49):
Yeah, they're still operating, sucking in the money. Well, anyway,
as far as that goes, it's a problem. And in
Massachusetts that we have it shouldn't be between Republicans or Democrats.
We need to fund the people that need to be supported.
(38:15):
And that's one thing I thought for this country. I
came back, I found out that things that got separated.
I got people booed me and everything. And that's the
way I when. So that's the way it is.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Well, thank you for your service, and thank you for
your phone call. I do appreciate it. I'm just going
to try to get one more in here, George.
Speaker 11 (38:38):
Okay, thank you, Dan, it's been not good to you.
Great again.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Thank you very much. Okay, talk to you soon. Let
me go to Jim in Kansas City. Jim, you gotta
be quick for me, buddy.
Speaker 13 (38:46):
Go ahead, Hi, Dan, I'll be very quick for you.
I am too infuriated to talk to you right now
about being hung up on and put to the back
of the line and wait on hold. For forty five minutes.
So there you go. That was quick by.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Okay, you were not at the back of the line, Jim,
but that's okay. I hope you you don't feel that way. Actually,
John is at the back of the line.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
Go ahead, John, and got about a minute for here,
Go ahead, John.
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (39:12):
Just a couple of things.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
The Dems were upset that John Trump spent two hundred
million on the ballroom and it's private money, by the way,
but they had no problem when Joe Biden left eighty
five billion dollars eighty five billion dollars with the military
equipment in Afghanistan and mar Healey's talking about the Snap program,
mass Pike scandal, Dan just the past few months, they
left a billion dollars on the table. Masters is going
(39:35):
to lose a billion dollars in that contract. And then
with this host government.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Oh yeah, John, I was all over that story, and
we will know you a great to be on that story.
And I thank you for raising that point.
Speaker 6 (39:49):
Exactly. And I don't want I don't think America chef
has been one point five or one point seven twillion
dollars for healthcare for illegals that our citizens at some
point the grievous. We need to Massachussetts.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Then, oh absolutely, I had Diana and Dosaugli.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
As a matter of fact, we will have that hour
with her from earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
She was with us.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Uh, it was on Tuesday night. We will play if
you miss that, we have a replay of that on
Sunday night at eleven. Best of Nightside, John, I got
to run for now. Thank you man. You gotta call earlier. Buddy,
you were the last caller because you called in last.
When we get back, your favorite pizza or your favorite
pizza place. My producer Marita said this would be a
(40:34):
great topic. Let's hope she's right. Coming back on Nightside,
We're good. This is National Pizza Month. I might even
be National Pizza Day. It's timely coming back on Nightside,
