(00:00):
Magnificant accomplishment. He's the one memberon the ballot who has been elected in

(00:05):
Massachusetts. There are three candidates onthe ballot. I've had John Deeton on
a couple of times. This isIan's second time with us here on Night
Side. And there's a third candidatewho we're checking out to make sure that
they are a legitimate candidate and thatthey really have some status and some backing.
So with that, Ian, let'sdo this. Will take a break.

(00:27):
I got to take a break atfifteen anyway, and let's get to
some phone calls and see what peoplehave to say. Fair enough, great,
for good. Thanks. My guestis Ian kan He is a republic
How old are you? Ian?By the way, you're everyone's a young
man to me these days. Howold are you? Oh, that's flattering.
I'm forty one. Forty one,Well I consider that to be to

(00:49):
be a young person. You're muchyounger than Elizabeth Warren, that is for
sure, and you're younger than meas well. We'll continue our conversation and
get the phone calls for Ian Kaneright after the break here on Nightside.
It is Flag Day in Massachusetts,a very patriotic day for Ian to come
back on and UH and talk abouthis candidacy to become the Republican nominee to

(01:11):
face Elizabeth Warren, who I guesswill be their Democratic nominee. There's no
not much competition for her, orfor any incumbent within their own party once
they've been elected. A couple oftimes back on Nightside right after this.
Now back to Dan ray Line fromthe Window World Nightside Studios on w b
Z News Radio. My guess isIan Kane. He is one of the

(01:36):
three Republicans running qualified secured sufficient signatures. He is as I my last question
to you before we go to phonecalls, how you feel your campaign is
going at this point? Are youpicking up more, picking up some steam?
Yeah, no, for sure.I mean this is a marathon.
I guess, let's run like asprint, and so I mean it's state

(01:59):
wide race and around meeting uh,local people on the ground at their Republican
town committees, which has been greatgetting to new you know, more of
the the GOP officials, the committeepeople, and I mean this is again,
this is this is where I comefrom. This is local politics everywhere.
So if you're not showing up atthese things, to meet people,

(02:20):
then you're not doing the thing.So, you know, just this week
alone, I was, you know, out in Charlton, up in Saugust,
out in Brookline, down in theHarwich board today. Uh. You
know, so we're running all overthe place meeting people where they are trying
to understand what's on their minds,and you know we're connecting well. I
think, you know, people againare looking for change and they like,
uh, the opportunity to support someonethat has uh you know, served people

(02:46):
before, uh in an elected capacity, that has demonstrated successes in in those
roles and uh, you know,bring some youth, energy, vitality and
innovation to uh this space that canreally seek to become a collaborative partner at
the federal government level. When youwere in Harwich Port today is there's a

(03:06):
great breakfast at lunch place there calledRuggies. I don't know if you had
a chance to stop by there,but it's a great, great place.
Next time you're in Harwich Port,we got Reggie Reginald in Brockton. Reginald,
you are first this hour with IanCaine, a Republican candidate for Senate
here in Massachusetts. Welcome Reginald.Hey, Dan, thanks for having me

(03:27):
on a long time listener, firsttime call of I got a question for
you to give you a lot.Okay, what's your question? Go right
ahead, Reginald Smith to Kane.As far as I'm aware, you still
don't express any regret for endorsing ourgovernor more Heally, who quite frankly,
in my opinion, is destroying ourstate. I got a simple question for

(03:52):
you, Ian, which policies Achilleswere better than Jeff Steele's. I mean,
I challenge you Ian just to namea few here. So I think
I just was talking about h youknow, going to people where they are,
and we got this question last timewe're on uh talking about you know,
supporting mar Hilly and uh, youknow, aligning interest. It's proximity,

(04:15):
it's working collaboratively with people despite theirpolitical affiliations. I didn't see Jeff
deal and Quincy, you know weyou know in Quincy benefited from many relationships
with governors, including Charlie Baker inthe past, that connect directly to the
executive office and work with the citycouncil in order to bring resources. Mister
Ken, I don't know me favor. I'm not going to cut you off,

(04:38):
I don't do that to my college. So hold on, let him
finish his comment and then you canhave a follow up. No problem,
go ahead, Well what's what what'swhat's your point, Reginald? You know,
I mean what you know, JeffDeal wasn't elected, so mar Hilly
is now the governor. And youknow, there's a situation that people are
very much paying attention to that startsat the federal government level. That's the

(04:59):
problem in the This is a problemwith the migrant situation and illegal immigration and
the need for comprehensive immigration reform thatElizabeth Warren has done nothing about. Okay,
And this is a bipart is anissue in Congress that has not been
solved over a long period of time. And now us in Massachusetts are facing
this physical and financial burden of peopleand cost that's going to cost the supwards

(05:21):
of three billion over two to threeyears. Right. So yes, that's
a huge problem. But that startsat the federal level, okay. And
then in what this role really needsis a good partner that can bring robust
federal state partnerships to alleviate these problems. So I know that there are people
working on the state level who aretrying to repeal the right to Shelter law

(05:43):
so that residents and citizens of theUnited States, residents of Massachusetts and citizens
of the United States can have preferentialtreatment for shelters. And you know,
that's a big hurdle to overcome andcertainly something that I support. So you
know, I'm certainly focused on howcan we legitimate amendment to this law.
I mean, you know, Ithink it's a magnet for people coming here,

(06:04):
God love them. If I wasone of the migrants, I'd want
to come here as well. ButI think it's an imposition on poor people
in Massachusetts because they get the shortend of the stick. Reginald. You
had a follow up question. Goahead, Dan, I'm not sold here.
I mean what I'm hearing out ofmister Kane here is that proximity is
more important than policies. I mean, we have a we have an immigrant

(06:26):
crisis in the state. I mean, they're flooding our state here, all
right, And I just I don'tthink mister caneill answered my question here.
Dan, Okay, Well, youknow, I I you you asked the
question, he gave you an answer. We've got to leave it at that.
But the question, he answered,not too happy, Dan, not
too happy? Well, you knowI don't. I hope you enjoy your

(06:48):
weekend, right, and I'll thankyou for call. Reginald. Thank you
very much for your call. Let'skeep rolling here. Okay, who's up
next? Russell? Isn't Debtim Russell? You're next on NIGHTSAGA right ahead?
Hey, dan Ian, you saidyou supported the far leftist Michelle Wie for
mayor of Boston because she promised tokeep some bridge closed. Now, aside

(07:11):
from her tricking you on that issueand backtracking, I want to know what
is more important to you a bridgeor mayor Wou's hamdpaigning to defund the police
and supporting disgraced attorney Rachel Rollins.You will not prosecute agenda. What's more
important? Bridges are people? Youreally just set me up here, because

(07:33):
I mean in a positive way.So, first of all, I'm glad
you listened to the last show.Thanks for calling in again. You know
that was the reason I supported Michellewill because of the people that I represent
in Quinty who were vocal about aparticular issue that we decided to support.
So Scheru, you've got all thedetails that's great. So at the same
time, oh, I'm full,I'm full b back to the blue right.

(07:56):
I took that about months ago duringthis campaign. Unlike my opponent John
d who sues local law enforcement becausehe was arrested in Rhode Island and that's
all public information you can look up. You know, if that's despicable,
How can you represent yourself as acandidate for US Senate when you sue local
law enforcement? Where does that putyou with law enforcement and your support for

(08:18):
them? Ian, you didn't answerthe question which is more important ridges or
people. I mean, this isn'tthe mayor isn't a one issue person.
They stand for the believe I justsaid I believe. I just said support
both of those things, which arethe issues that matter to the people that

(08:39):
I represent in Quinty, which Iwould do at the US Senate. And
then I also support law enforcement.So if Michelle Woo's not supporting law enforcement,
then I'm you know, that's that'sher problem. But I support law
enforcement. Ian, you can't haveyour cake and eat it too either.
I think you asked a couple of, you know, good questions, but
I got to keep rolling here,Okay, I got a lot of people

(09:01):
on the lines appreciate you taking thetime to call. Let's go next to
Donna in Arlington. Donna, youwere next on, I said, with
Ian Kane, Republican candidate for Senatehere in Massachusetts. Go ahead, Donna,
Hi Dan, Hi, Ian.I'm in Arlington, and Happy Flag
Day to everybody. It's one ofmy favorite holidays. I have a I

(09:26):
had another question, but now I'mgoing to ask another question. She just
brought up. You brought up CharlieBaker's name, and it just reminded me
that I've heard you say before thatsomething along the lines that you're like a
Baker Republican, and yet I happento know that you gave as much money

(09:50):
as possible, the maximum amount Iguess to Charlie Baker's opponent, Setie Warren.
Now, well, you know,I don't know if that's some kind
of new way to support Charlie Bakeror be a Charlie Baker Republican, but
giving a whole lot of money tohis opponent to defeat him. I don't

(10:11):
understand that kind of logic. Idon't understand how you call yourself a Republican
at all. Honestly, when allyou do is is support Democrats, it
seems, and give money to democrats. You know, why don't you run
as a Democrat? That's my otherquestion. How are you Charlie Baker Republican

(10:31):
when you try to defeat him?And why don't you run as a Democrat?
Thanks for the question, don Soat that time, I was a
registered Democrat. I think, youknow, we talked about it on the
show before, and you know,it's so interesting. I keep getting these
calls and we did this last timewhere you know, I'm the Democrat blah
blah blah. You know, it'slike John Deaton is a Democrat as well.

(10:56):
John Deaton was a Democrat up untillast year twenty twenty three in his
home state of Rhode Island. Soit's you know, I don't know if
people are doing this research, butyou know, this is the person who's
moved into our state, who isnot a Massachusetts resident, not from here,
has been a registered Democrat all hislife. I start my voting life
as a Republican. I'm a Republicanfrom eighteenth through college. I'm unenrolled and

(11:18):
independent the majority of my life.And you know that's the type of person
that you want to represent you,you know, it's someone that can work
collaboratively with people despite their political affiliation, because that's how you build partnerships,
and that's how you get things done, and that's how you bring resources home
to people in the state that Ithat I seek to represent. You know,

(11:39):
I think people toss this term arounda lot, that Charlie Baker,
but I hear the other guy sayingit all the time too, So I
don't even know what that means anymore, because we can't all be the same.
So what I'm saying right now asa Republican is that, you know,
Massachusetts folks, residents are looking,you know, for balance. Things
are out of control. All thepositions are held by Democrats and the majority
and the state legislation and in theexecutive office. People are looking for pragmatism,

(12:03):
practicality, and people that are actuallygoing to do the job. In
the US Senate right now, again, Elizabeth Warrene is not doing that,
and it's demonstrated. So you know, despite whatever your feelings are, Donna,
and I'm sorry you feel that way, I'd love to get to know
you a little bit more so thatyou know, we can have a real
conversation about this instead of just politicalcontributions, which my opponent has only given
to you know, Democrats in hislife in Rhode Island and his home state.

(12:26):
So you know, I appreciate thequestion, but I don't I don't
know what a Charlie Baker Republican isanymore. All Right, Donna, I'm
up with my newscast. Three threetough callers to start it off. We'll
take a quick break. Thank you, Donna. If you call, appreciate
it. We're going to go tothe news. My guest is Ian Kine
uh Ian. I'm sure there's somesupporters out. We got a bunch of

(12:46):
calls coming in. Let's see whatothers have to say. Six one,
seven, two, ten thirty.All the lines is now full, so
that is writ it down and whenthe calls drop off, that's the number
to call. Six one, seventhirty. Again, I ask you,
if you're gonna ask tough questions atthe same time you can be polite.
I feel free to join the conversation. Coming back on Nightside Night Side with

(13:09):
Dan Ray. I'm telling you besBoston's news Radio. All right, Ian,
let's keep rolling here. Okay,let's go someone once said that,
you know, politics is hardball.Well, we got some hardball going in.
Let's go to Wayne and rossly Dale. Wayne, you're next on Nightside,
Go right ahead, Hey, Hawaii, Dann, great program as always,
my friend. You ahead, andhello, Ian, how are you

(13:33):
tonight? I'm well Wayne, howare you doing? Oh that's good.
I'm glad to hear soy and Istill have a lot of concerns, okay,
And the last time we talked,I I didn't hear a direct answer
from you. I appreciate a directresponse. It would be so kind.
And I'm not going to talk aboutwooar Heally. But I'm slamming my head
against the wall listening to what you'resaying about mar Healey. But I'm not

(13:54):
going to go there, you know. And I'm an engaged citizen, never
miss an election, and so Ido my research in my homework. And
so I called up the Quinsy Clerk'soffice, the city clerk's office there in
the city. Very nice people inthat office. I asked them some questions
about the candidates and they told mematter public record, okay, that you
voted in the Democrat Party presidential primaryin both twenty sixteen and in twenty twenty.

(14:18):
Not thrilled about that. So weknow you're supported. Let's first all
see let's first of all see ifyour research is true. There Wayne,
okay Ian if you want to commenton that field, all right, I'd
like to finish my question Dan ifoh you will. And you know,
Wayne, if you listen to myshow, I don't cut people off.
I gave you a chance. You'vebeen a very civil Wayne. I appreciate
that's a question. Go ahead,Go ahead, Wayne, I got to

(14:39):
ask you a question, man.So at what point, you know,
can I earn a badge to getinto the party, to be accepted by
you if you give us a directanswer. That's a start. Hold on
for second, guys, Wait asecond, No, I wasn't a Republican
then, Wayne, and so,and help you out if I could.

(15:03):
Yeah, he asked a direct question, and I don't think there's you know,
if it's a public record, great. I give him a direct answer,
and then let's let's let's continue.You know, give him a shot.
He's claiming you you chose a Democraticballot and in twenty sixteen, in
the primary, twenty sixteen and twentytwenty, I don't know what difference that
really makes. But what does thatmatter? Yeah? What is if you

(15:26):
found the record, then it's recordand it is So what does it matter?
Okay? So Wayne, so matters? Acknowledge you steff what he did?
Go ahead, Dan, God thingis it matters? Exponentially? You're
running at a Republican in the Republicanprimary. And if it turns out that
in twenty sixteen or twenty you votedfor Bernie Sanders Ian, Oh when when

(15:48):
I think even worse than that?Is this? Even worse than that?
Is this? At least I havea voting history. My opponent in this
Republican race has actually only voted threeelections since two thousand and four. Three.
Okay, So don't don't you knowtell me because I actually exert my
right to vote, that I'm doinga bad thing. Uh. It talked
to the person that wants to serveyou that actually doesn't vote. That's a

(16:11):
problem. Wait. But by theway, if I can ask a question,
Wayne, how do you know hevoted for Brunie Sanders. He could
have voted for anybody in the Democraticsize anyone. Dan. I know you're
listening, but I'm not. Dranslistening, I said, if, but
if you realize he didn't say whohe voted for, whether it was Hillary
and could Wayne, I could havevoted you in. I could have I
could have written you in. Butthe point is is that I vote,

(16:33):
go vote. Wait, I don't, Wayne, opponent does not vote.
Not vote Wayne. Wayne. Holdon, guys for a second. He
has a right to vote for whomeverhe wants in the privacy the ballot.
Absolutely, okay, if I justwant to make clear I misunder I misunderstood
what you said. That that's myfault. But I don't think that all

(16:53):
he is. He answered your questionthat he voted in the Democratic primary,
but uh, it's up between inhim who and himself as to whether he
wrote my name in your name inor voted for whomever. So let's move
on. Do you have another questionfor him? I'm just saying you're running
as a Republican. It's very importantwith the candidates there. I just we

(17:18):
just want to know who you votedfor, whether it was Hillary, Bernie,
whoever it was. Please a directanswer, so Republican, I don't.
I don't think he's obligated to dothat, but but gorit it go
right ahead, that's your obligation.That's fine. No, I'm not.
I respect people's rights to privacy whenthey vote. And again the point,
the important point here is I vote. Okay. John Beaton does not vote.

(17:40):
He's voted in three elections since twothousand and four. Okay, So
that is not civic participation, thatis not engaging with politic You know that's
despicable. All right, gentlemen,let me let me cut it off.
Wayne, damn hey, I justone more thing. Let me know.
In the first fundraiser with Michelle lamarIs, I'll take the t I'll see
in two weeks. All right,Thanks, right, lad, I solve

(18:02):
them. Not happy, not good, have a good reach out. Next
up is Tommy and Plymouth. Tomyou're next on Night Side with Ian Kane,
Republican candidate for Senate here in Massachusetts. Go ahead, Tom, Hey,
thanks thinking my call, Dan,and you too. Ian. I
got a question for you. SoI know just the Quincy City Council considering
raising the mayor's salary by seventy ninepercent two hundred eighty five thousand dollars a

(18:26):
year. The same mayor, whoabout your campaign? That would make him
one of the highest paid mayors inAmerica, and you now support that considering
how many middle class families are strugglingwith inflation and high prices and everything.
They don't make close to two hundredeighty five thousand dollars a year. How
do you support that when pax payersare struggling beating up the mayor's salary like

(18:47):
that. I just don't understand.Okay, let's find it he does support
it, Go ahead, Yeah,No, I appreciate the question. And
I've had a lot of discussion withmy constituents on this, both in favor
and against it, and probably hadthe same number of conversations on both sides.
And so, you know, wewere presented with a study about,

(19:08):
uh this, about this potential salaryincrease. You know, we see salary
increases across the board, whether it'sthrough union negotiations for teachers, police,
and fire, or whether it's forthe you know, sort of director level
or commissioner level positions which went throughlast year. And so this is the
one that was put on our playthis year. I think the media did

(19:29):
a great job at a sensationalizing thisissue. You know, I think it
was really good catnip because it's somethingthat people can really grasp their mind around.
And I think what it becomes istwo things. Pardon Tom, Let
let him finish his speak his comment. Tom, I'm not gonna yeah,
because what happened. What happens hereis that you know, this becomes a
very emotional issue and so you know, there's two sides to it. One,

(19:52):
I think people put themselves in thein the place of this person that
they, you know, see makingpotentially more than them, so they might
have a problem with it. Andthen you know, on the other side,
they might not like this person personally. But at the end of the
day, this is about and forme and the decision making that I that
I took here is that this isabout an executive compensation package. And there
was a study presented. We lookedat a host of values and you know,

(20:15):
I think that there was their comparisonsmade to the roles of what are
talent managers and town administrators as wellas mayors across the country. And you
know, at the end of theday, this is a position that runs
the staff about two thousand people,runs a budget of four hundred and twenty
five million dollars, and the proposedsalary that came in for an executive at

(20:36):
that level with you know, managingwhat I just outlined, I don't think
is egregious, and so you know, that's that's the answer my question.
So you know, I think oftentimeswe take a lot of important votes.
All all the votes we take tothe City Council of are important, and
you know, I think most often, especially around budget time, I always
say when people start paying attention toparticular issues, I say, come back

(20:57):
more because you know, we needthat type of feedback because I think only
when issues are sensationalized do people payattention, which isn't necessarily the most productive
thing, but it's great to geteyes on the process because we want more
eyes and people involved. You know, we've we've made some substantial appropriations that
help Quincy usher. You know,we're helping Quincy move into the future,

(21:18):
huge infrastructure packages. There was ahuge four hundred and seventy five million dollar
pension obligation bond. That was themost important decision that I believe I made
on the City Council and I actuallyvoted against it because I thought it was
it wasn't appropriate at the time.And so you know, I think when
you put this into comparison. Youknow, it's a very important thing that

(21:40):
people can grass their mind around.But again, I just gave you all
the reasons, why do you supportit? Yeah, but I don't disagree
with it because it's more money thanI make, or because I don't like
the mayor. It's because it's it'staxpayer money, and it's your friend.
That's why it's concerning. It's notabout and I don't know how you can
tell middle class families to press thestate this is okay when no one else

(22:00):
gets anything like that. It's yourpolitical friend. That's my problem with it.
Okay. So yeah, and youknow what I think people, I
think actually the biggest problem with thiswas the process from the get go.
And so you know, at thenext meeting that we have, I'm introducing
an amendment to this so that wedon't go through this again. So it's
not just what is seemingly an arbitrarynumber that's thrown out, and you know,

(22:22):
people have problems. Will be aprocess. Will will introduce an independent
committee to do, you know,an assessment for the executive compensation package in
order to put some good process behindus. All. I appreciate the call.
Tom thank you very much. Wetake a quick break. My guest
is Ian Kin, Republican candidate forSenate here in Massachusetts, would like to
win the Republican nomination. The primaryis on September, third day after Labor

(22:47):
Day, and this couple of monthsaway, well a little more than a
couple of months away, but notmuch more. And the winner will be
on the ballot on November, onNovember the fifth when against the incumbent Democrat,
Elizabeth Warreng. We'll be back onnight Side. The only lines open
right now are six one seven.Back on night Side right after this.
Now back to Dan Ray live fromthe Window World night Side Studios on WBZ

(23:12):
News Radio. All right, let'skeep rolling. I'm going to go to
Rick in Quincy. Rick, welcometo night Side. Hey, how are
you, sir? Good? Thankyou Dan uh, first time, first
time, long time, So thanksfor the opportunity. Well, thank you
very much. Times with the presidentof the city council in which you live
and can't go right ahead, Yeah, so thank you for that. And

(23:33):
what the first? First off,let me just say that I've been a
lifelong Republican and I don't think I'veever voted Democratic in my entire voting life,
and so I think sometimes we havethis problem with them in the Republican
Party is that we have a litmustest right. We have to have the
perfect Republican vote right down the right, down the line and up for all
the issues, and that's how weend up with the warrant. Right.
So I've been able to uh,Like I said, I've been a lifelong

(23:57):
Quinby resident, and I've seen thiscity go some major, a major renaissance.
And I've seen Counsel Kane. Idon't know, I don't agree with
every all of his quality positions,but I've seen I've seen him work really
closely with the mayor of the cityand really made some tough decisions and you
know, really put this city inuh in a in a great position.

(24:18):
I mean, it's it's going throughsome fantastic growth. You've see property values
increases. It's an incredibly safe city. And I will tell you this,
I've seen. You know, I'drather be in a position that Quinsy is
in than a lot of these othersurrounding communities and Wooverurn or Handover or Braintree
where they're they're standing down the barrelof a nine million dollar deficit. And

(24:40):
that's because a lot of tough decisions, a lot of a lot of the
boats that Counsel Kane uh and workingwith the mayor has done. Now,
you know, that's that's my that'smy position on on the candidate. Now,
the question for the candidate is,you know, like I said,
he's he's mentioned and I've heard someof his position statements and his position papers

(25:00):
that you wouldn't have voted for theSenate immigration bill, of the border bill,
which you know, personally I agreewith I wouldn't have either. I
think it was it was a weakbill. But the question is, you
know, what we're at such akind of a touch tone issue, what
would be your kind of I guessremedy or your position or your your thoughts

(25:22):
on a replacement bill that would havepotentially, you know, addressed this issue.
Thanks Rick, I appreciate the question. Of course, this being the
most important issue affecting Massachusetts residents,and it connects to not only the southern
border, but the northern border.And you know, again, Elizabeth Warren,
her stance on this is do nothing. And at the same time,

(25:42):
my Republican opponent John Deaton said thathe would have signed on to the progressive
Senate Democrat open Border plan, youknow, and that would have caused permanent
mass migration of at least two millionmore legal immigrants per year. Okay,
So you know, in order toaddress this effectively, again, this comes
from the federal level. We needto address the legal immigration. We need
robust federal state partnerships. We mustenforce deportation laws and ensure that police can

(26:06):
properly report arrests, right, andwe need to prevent lee elimeriates from returning
to the streets. And you know, we just saw I think it was
Ohio that just approved the everify systems. We need to enhance those in order
to track the more you know,efficiently. You know, those are just
some of the top line things thatI think. And then of course working
down to the state level, helpingour state legislature to pass this change and

(26:29):
the right to shelter a lot.I think it's just sus Senator Durant who
just you know, sort of calledout to the governor that we need to
change this. And there are youknow, other folks as well who are
working towards us who have experienced thisin their own towns. You know kille
Junner down and Taunton has experienced thisbecause you've seen such an increase in the
in the cause of you know,to law enforcement that are that are draining
resources and the only hotel in theirtown. So you know these laws.

(26:52):
I guess again top to bottom federalfirst partnership at the state level. Great
Dan. The only thing I wouldjust add is, you know, like
I said, I've been to Quincymy entire life, and I've seen counselor
can't work. And the only wayI would describe him as he's in terms
of his decision making, in termsof both he takes. They're very thoughtful,

(27:14):
they're very reasonable, and like Isaid, some of these issues I
have disagreed with them on, butI've always found him to be reasonable,
thoughtful, and most importantly accessible.He's available and that's more than you can
say for the current for our currentsenator. So thank you. All right,
we appreciate you. Let's keep rollinghere. We're going to go next
to I'm going to try to getpeople in quickly here, So a quick
question. I got a bunch ofcalls. Let's keep rolling, Sarah and

(27:36):
Brainfree Sarah. Next on nice Igo ahead. Hey Dan, Hey Ann,
thanks for taking my call. Iappreciate we have a limited amount of
time. I've been listening for alittle while, Ian, and I've heard
you speak about John seating your opponent. I understand that you've been with the
Quincy cit account both for quite along time, and you certainly have a

(27:56):
relevant backstory. My question is,have you read John Deaton's book and are
you familiar with the backstory of howhe grew up and how he came to
be and in theory, what thatmeans to suffer and go to law school

(28:18):
and be in trouble. Let let'sget it. Let's get a quick answer
here, Sarah. If I can't, I yes, book, But did
you I have? Yeah? Andyou know there's some very concerning, uh,
you know, self phone admissions inthis autobiography. You know that really
cause concern. I understand the troubleupbringing that he's had. You know,

(28:44):
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.How that immediately translates into becoming a US
center. I'm not necessarily sure,but admitting to things like satatory rape and
drug use and potentially murdering someone,that's crazy. Uh, I'm necessarily proud

(29:04):
of So I don't in respect tothat qualification about it. But isn't it
more relatable than somebody that is comingup and sees what happens in the world
and is trying to do something differentlyand trying to do something differently than a
core politician. And the decision iswith all due respect that I think Ian's

(29:26):
running his campaign and obviously he feelshe's the most qualified candidate. And you
may differ, and but I thinkhe's answered your question to be honest with
you. Okay, I appreciate yourtime. Thank you very much. Thanks
sir. We're quickly running out oftime. Ian. How can folks get

(29:47):
in touch with you if they'd liketo support your campaign? Yeah? Absolutely.
You can check us out online.It's kine for us. That's c
A I N F O r USdot com. We've got you can sign
up instead of emails. We'd loveto talk to you again. We're running
around to all cities and towns gettingto make new friends and build supporter base.
So we're having a good time.If you want to get involved,

(30:10):
please reach out. All right,to the callers who were on the line,
I apologize, but we are flatout of time. What time do
we have? How much time left? Rom thirty seconds? Okay, so
we don't have time for more calls. Ian. Look, I appreciate a
lot of people who were critical,but I think come on a show like
this and handle the questions the wayyou handle themselves. Handle No, I

(30:32):
appreciate it. Listen, this isyou can't make everyone happy. I've learned
this in nine years. And youknow all you can do is continue.
No, really, but that's work. You can't make everyone happy, So
you do. You do the bestyou can with the role that you serve.
And you know that's what I do. And I appreciate everyone that calls,
and I appreciate you having me on. And I just know that you
know, we've got a great opportunityto take this seat back, the Massachusetts

(30:55):
seat for Massachusetts residents who with aperson actually understands what it's like to be
from here, in the needs ofthe people here. So you know,
we don't want to elect someone whohas moved from out of state, and
that's that could be Elizabeth Warrene,that could be John Deaton. You want
somebody who's committed here, who's notafraid to face the music. Thank you
very much. Fair enough Ian,Thank you very much. You faced an

(31:15):
orchestra tonight and you answered questions,and that's they say ninety percent of life
is showing up. You showed uptonight. Thank you very much. We
will be back right after the teno'clock news, and I'm going to ask
you to tell us about your dad. Father's Day is Sunday. I will
explain what we're going to try toaccomplish, and I hope many of you

(31:36):
will participate. My name's Dan Ray. This is Night's Side. We'll be
back right after the ten o'clock newshere on a steamy Friday night, very
steamy last hour back on nights outafter this
