The post-election fallout from Donald Trump’s victory has Democrats continuing to point the finger at each other...While last week Congressman Seth Moulton gained criticism for saying the party needs to shift their approach when it comes to identity politics, this week Senator Bernie Sanders is the latest to garner attention for his comments saying the Democrat Party lost the election because they lost touch with the working class.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nice size.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm doing Bodon's news radio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Well, I think that most of you know that the
presidential election is completed and that the president President Donald Trump,
has won, and he's won with three hundred and eleven.
Let me double check that, just to make sure we're correct.
Here real quickly, excuse me, three hundred and twelve Electoral
(00:30):
College votes. Now, we had a contest a week ago
tonight at this very hour, and we had a lot
of people. We had over twenty two people call in
(00:52):
making their predictions. There was one caller from San Diego
who said it'd be won by Kamala Harris. She picked
three seventy one. Not to be outdone, a caller from
Leminster predicted three hundred and seventy for Donald Trump. They
(01:14):
were both off. Again. The qualification was you had to
first of all pick who was going to win correctly,
and then whoever got closest, so the closest correct prediction
of the winner, So all of the Harris predictions were
out the window. Terry and Harwich she had three twenty
(01:36):
five for Harris, Walter and Peevety had two ninety two,
and on and on it went. Matt had Harris to ninety.
As I said, Lola out in San Diego had Harris
three twenty one, Rick and Doverhead Harris to ninety three.
So all of those were limited, so we went to
(01:57):
the Trump numbers, Trump with three twelve. The number that
was the closest was Paul, who was the second caller
in the eleven o'clock hour. So Paul, if you're listening,
you picked Donald Trump with three hundred and fifteen, and
(02:19):
you are the winner and you will receive the first
night Side tote bag from our friends at College Hype.
What you have to do is call in, identify yourself
to Rob and get your address and a phone number,
(02:41):
and we will get that tote bag out there still
I think being printed. If you're interested, you can go
to Nightside on demand dot com if you want to
purchase any Christmas gear, holiday gear for family members, for yourself.
There's all sorts of items there on night Side on
Demand no excuse me, on nights Side gear dot com
(03:01):
Nightside and Demand. You can listen to our prior podcast.
So Paul from South Boston will give you a big
round of applause as the winner from the Digital School
School audience. Everybody's standing here applauding you, Paul, Congratulations, you
will get the first in the line Night Side tote bag. Now,
(03:21):
if someone knows Paul from South Boston and he happens
not to be listening, when I'm gonna do, Paul, is
I'm gonna mention this two or three nights, and if
we don't hear from you, we then will pick a
second winner. Okay, So if for some reason you are
no longer listening to the Night Side oftentimes, I was
able to say when we would announce the winner, but
(03:43):
it is being announced tonight. We'll announce it the next
couple of eleven o'clocks, and then I'll make a decision
that we will move past you, Paul, and we'll find
whoever else was closest. And I'll have to do some
investigation here to see if anybody else was closest than you.
(04:06):
You were at three point fifteen. You were off by
only three. There's one person here who's off by only
five Telvis from you even won Pelvis. But if Paul
doesn't take his prize, Pelvis, you keep listening at eleven
o'clock and you might win the prize anyway. I also
(04:29):
want to bring up the day. In the House, you know,
the Senate, the Republicans have carried the Senate. I think
there's still one Senate race which is undecided, and that
is in Arizona, and that's probably going to go to
the Democrats. So the Republicans will pick up four seats,
the Democrats will have lost four seats. The Republicans will
(04:50):
have a fifty three to forty seven majority in the Senate.
And then in the House. The best numbers I can
find are in the New York the Republicans have won
two hundred and fourteen seats, the Democrats two h five.
There are sixteen undecided seats in the House. In order
to have a majority, you have to have to eighteen.
(05:14):
According to the New York Times, of those sixteen undecided races,
right now, the Republicans will carry eight and the Democrats
will carry eight. Now, that could flip a little bit,
but I think that the Times is pretty right in
the money here, and that means the Republicans with this projection,
will will hold the House. They'll increase their numbers a
(05:35):
little bit. They will get to two twenty two and
the Democrats will be at two thirteen. So the Republicans
will have a working majority a little bigger than what
they had in the last session of the session that
is now concluding. So that brings you up to date.
We'll keep you posted on all of that, I promise.
And again, if Paul is listening, Paul, you have a
(05:59):
tote bag, but you got to claim it and you
got to prove to us that you were the Paul
who called, which is why I'm not mentioning the community
that you represent. Paul anyway, I just want to make
sure that there was another Paul who would take your
tote back. Now, last hour tonight, here's what I want
(06:19):
to do tonight. I want to give you an opportunity
to tell me what should the Democrats do. The Democrats
are in a little bit of disarray now they've lost
the Senate, they've lost the White House. This has been
a tough it's been a tough election for the Democrats. Okay,
(06:39):
we know that Seth Moulton made some comments late last
week that the Democrats have to get their priorities rearranged.
Bernie Sanders has said on a different topic. So the
question that I'm going to ask you is, if you're
a Democratic political consultant, where did the Democrats go wrong?
(07:01):
Vice President Harris had over a billion dollars to spend
on this race. Donald Trump had about four hundred million dollars. Normally,
when you're out spend two to one in a race,
you lose. Donald Trump won every swing state, every swing state,
all seven of them, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and
(07:24):
of course the Blue Wall of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
So I don't care if you're a Republican, you're a Democrat,
particularly if you're Democrat. What would you like to see
your party do? How do you turn this around? Uh,
there's a congressional election two years from now on a
presidential election in twenty twenty eight. We'll open up the
phone lines. What should the Democrats do? Six one, seven, two, five,
(07:46):
four ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten
thirty talking politics for the rest of the night from
the perspective of the Democratic Party. What advice would you
give them? And some of you might give some really
friendly advice even though you're a Republican. What did they
do wrong? What do they have to do right? Going forward?
Coming back on night Side. Now, back to Dan ray
line from the Window World.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Night Side Studios on w b Z News Radio.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
All right, there's a lot of soul searching in the
Democratic Party. Let me see what Gary says. Gary, Gary,
I'm not gonna make you way. What should the Democrats do? Gary?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Well, try up the Democrats in so many words, embrace
Trump to likability. Let's just hope Trump just does that
go back to being Trump and being putting people down
and being in trunk because I am a Trump fan,
and let's face the facts, just be likable, be likable,
and if Trump happens to just be out, I can't
(08:46):
say I wish the president would stop going out. We're
trying to support him and so forth.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Do you agree, well, I think he has.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
An opportunity now, very off, very rarely do you really
get a second chance, said anything. Either you get fired
from a job or you get dumped by a girlfriend
or a boyfriend or whatever. And it's tough to get
a second chance, you know, if you if you think
you make a mistake. Same way with professional athletes. Very
rarely does a professional athlete get a chance to get
(09:18):
that second chance, that second opportunity. Uh, he's got a
second opportunity. The biggest opportunity anyone could have being president
of the United States. Let's see who he picks, Let's
see what policy he imposes, and and and we'll go
from there. He's he's got, He's going to have the Senate.
(09:38):
He's going to have the House, I think, although again
it's not official yet, but I think it's getting pretty
close to official. In the House. He's coming in. He's
going to put the revenge tour away. I hope he
doesn't do that. I think that that all the federal
prosecutions against him are going away. I think that that
he will probably get at worse to slapping the wrist
(10:01):
from the judge, Judge One Mershon to New York. Who's
going to put the president of the United States in jail?
I don't think so. I don't think so. Right, So
he won, he won big as they would.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Say he won Bigley, That's funny. One thing I do
the one thing I do want to say is this
is uh Trump as far as I'm concerned, I hope. Well,
let's trace the facts. Dan, I'm sixty one years of age,
and when I reached forty and I was working two
jobs from the age of twenty five to the age
(10:33):
of fifty to the last ten years. I just worked
a regular job. I did it for twenty five years,
working sixty to eighty hours a week. What I'm getting
at is we're not all getting younger, and that includes
you too. And what I'm trying to say is that Trump,
you know, if you don't have to be in front
of the microphone, give it to vance, you know, because
(10:54):
we want the man to be healthy and be there
for the next four years because any time someone could
pass away and die. And I mean that about Donald Trump,
myself and you, and don't hug the microphone because right now,
as you know, Dan, the stock markets out of control.
I didn't even mention it, neither did you. And that's
another reason why Donald Trump needs to be the president.
(11:15):
The investors are investing back into the United States.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well again, the opportunity here is great for him. He
has again the opportunity to be remembered as a different
sort of president. If he had lost to Vice President Harris,
he would have had to have just gone away. He
now may have another Supreme Court appointment or two to make,
who knows. So I hope again, as I don't care
(11:43):
who would have won, I hope the president succeeds now
and when he makes mistakes, I'll criticize him. I didn't
think he could win. I've already said that. I've publicly
admitted I was wrong on his ability to get I
thought after January sixth, there's no way this guy's ever
going to be re elected president. But guess what, wrong
he's been re elected president. I want him to succeed
(12:04):
because if he succeeds, the country succeeds. I feel this.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I was wrong too. I didn't think he was gonna win.
And the last thing I can say to you, Dan
is this, I hope I had a conversation with you
instead of yelling at you.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Okay, you don't have to yell at me. I like conversations. Man,
beg you ll thanks, doctor, lady, good night. All right,
let's I'm gonna get to some more calls here, I
promise the only line, well we just lost, Well Gary
has cleared WHATMP that just got filled? If you want
to call and get on six one, seven, nine, three. Uh,
(12:40):
this is over the weekend. Some comments that I thought
were interesting. Uh, this is Bernie Sanders. Now Bernie would
like to take the party to the left. Okay, he
would like to go pretty hardcore left. So this is
Bernie Cut two. Please, Rob cut to Bernie Sanders over
(13:00):
the weekend.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Working people in this country are extremely angry. They have
a right to be angry. In the richest country in
the history of the world. Today, the people on top
are doing phenomenally well, while sixty percent of Americans are
living paycheck to paycheck and millions of families worried that
(13:25):
their kids are actually going to have a lower standard
of living than they do.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well, He's not incorrect on that his solution would be socialism.
Nancy Pelosi, who was part of the coup that took
Joe Biden out literally last July, had this to say
about Bernie Sanders. Although I think down deep, Nancy's probably
(13:51):
other than herself. She probably would would is a socialist underneath.
She likes her she likes her lifestyle. Cut number three, Rob.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Hey, Bernie Sanders has not won. Let me, with all
due respect, and I have a great deal of respect
for him for what he stands for, but I don't
respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the
working class family.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Well, Nancy Pelosi started to say, Bernie Sanders hasn't won.
Bernie Sanders actually would have won the twenty sixteen president
Democratic presidential nomination, except they took it away. They took
it away from him. So let be also, well, here's
(14:37):
Whoopy Goldberg, astude political analyst that she is. This was
her rent after the election results became a parent. This
is cut thirteen.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Whoopy Goldberg, Let's talk about the real stuff. Your pocketbook's bad,
not because the Bidens did anything, not because the.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Economy is.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Your grocery bills are what they are. Is because the
folks that own the groceries are pigs.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
But no one not olculated that.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, that's what I'm That's what I'm saying, is that
let's talk about the reasons why stuff gas is high,
not because the Bidens didn't try to help, but because
the folks who control that decided I want more money.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Now. That is from one of the richest people on
the face of the earth, who reportedly paid a lot
of money for doing an interview with Vice President Harris.
Kind of interesting, kind of interesting. We're going to try
to do a little bit more research on that. And
then you have well, Congressman Seth Moulten, who I agree
(15:47):
with made some comments about trans athletes competing in girls
sports at high school and college level. Girls and boys
do compete against each other when they're you know, starting
off playing soccer and kindergarten first grade soccer. But when
(16:08):
boys get a little stronger, I don't think you want
them playing field hockey or volleyball because the strength can
become a can become an attribute. This is Seth Moulton
who's in hot water for suggesting that maybe the Democrats
need to look at these issues cut eighteen.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Please Rob, look, I was just speaking authentically as a
dad about one of many issues where I think we're
just out of touch with the majority of voters, and
I stand by my position. You know, maybe I didn't
get all the words exactly right, but the point is
that the backlash I've received proves my point that we
can't even have these discussions as a party. I mean,
(16:51):
the chairman of the Master's this Democratic Party wouldn't even
return my phone call. And we've got to be able
to have these debates. But instead we have a wing
of our party that shames us, that tries to cancel
people who even bring up these difficult topics, and frankly
shame's voters. This is the same group of people who
told us to defund the police, who told us that
there wasn't a problem at the southern border, who told
(17:13):
us that inflation was transient, whatever that means, and who
told us that Biden was just fine. And they're out
of touch with voters. If we just listened to voters
on all of these issues, they were telling us the truth.
So we've got to be willing to have these debates.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, and I think that's the debate. And that's what
I want to hear from you tonight is what did
the Democrats need to do to write the Ship of State?
And by the way, apparently Congressman Moulton did miss a
phone call with the party chair here in Massachusetts, and
they will talk at some point. There's some city councilor
up in Salem, I think's first term city councilor said
(17:51):
that Seth Moulton should resign. I don't think that's going
to happen, and I think that Seth Moulton has made
a lot of sense. We hope to have Seth Moulton
on before the week is out. Uh, And maybe you
can take some maybe we'll give you some opportunity to
talk with them on the phone. We'll have to see
how that works out. Let's get back to the calls.
Let me go next to George and Bridgewater. George, next
on Nice. I appreciate you holding on all right ahead, George.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Oh, you're very welcome. I think the most important thing
Dan is the Democrat Party has to move to the center.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I think that's what Seth Molton is saying. A little
bit Bernie is going to take him in an opposite direction,
but that's what So you agree with Molten on some
of these issues or.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
No, absolutely, you know they need this. Well, I can
go a little bit further. They need to stop talking
about DEI and racism and you know, transgenders are you know,
they're good people. But I don't know how many votes
they're going to get. Just come right out and say
(18:57):
that no problem. Will try and senda, but we uh,
you know, we don't like transenders uh competing in uh
woman's sports.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
There's a lot of point. That was the point that
that Moulton was making. The other thing too, is that
you have uh there was a big push where you know,
you know, unisex bathrooms in high schools and things like that,
you know, I mean, that's that's very cutting edge, and
that that hurt the might have helped the Democratic Party
in some areas of the country, but it hurt the
(19:33):
Democratic Party in you know, other areas of the country.
And it's a big country out there. And now it's
not like the old days where a politician could go
to one state and say one thing and go to
another and say it, although they still try to do that.
But now when they say something dumb, uh in New York,
it's played everywhere, And they say something dumb in Mississippi,
(19:56):
it's played everywhere, or something that's that's that's duplicit. Yeah,
I think the Democratic Party has has kind of got
out of touch. And the irony is that on a
lot of those issues. Look at uh, more Latino voters
voted for Donald Trump than any Republican even though Donald
Trump is talking about potentially deporting a lot of people
(20:19):
from the Southern hemisphere.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Black men voted more for Donald Trump, likew Now, Harris
still won amongst black voters, right, but George Boyce didn't
appeal to black voters. Mitt Romney didn't appeal to black voters.
John McCain didn't appeal to black voters. Donald Trump, you know,
(20:44):
it's it's some to some people, it's mystifying, but the
results are the results.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
And then Kamala Harris and any other Democrat that wants
to run definitely should have her boss under the bus.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Oh when she felt that he was well, I don't
know that she could do that. Let me get it.
I just got to play one more SoundBite for you.
This is the former communications director. His name is Jamal Simmons,
and he had this to count to say over the weekend,
which is laughable. I want to see what you think
about it. Rob Cuts seventeen. Please.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Joe Biden's been a phenomenal president. He's lived up to
so many of the promises he's made. As one promise
left that he could fulfill being a transitional figure, he
could resign the presidency in the next thirty days. Make
Kamala Harris the president of the United States. Will give
it absolved, being able to from having to oversee the
January sixth transition right of her own defeat, and it
(21:48):
would make sure that it would dominate the news at
a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency
and doing things that the public we want to see.
Is the time. This is the moment for us to
change the entire perspective of how democratic. And this is
now jumped from an internet name to a Sunday morning show.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
They're laughing at this guy. I mean, this guy actually
believed that. What do you if Joe Biden thought about
doing that? And he whispered to Jill tonight, Jill, I'm
thinking about resigning the president so Vice President Harris can
become president for a couple of months. What do you
think she would hit him with a lamp, horror, a
frying pan.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
You know, in the fifties, sixty seventies, you've I think
maybe they still use that. You've heard the expression that
children ought to be seen and not heard. I think,
and yeah, in defence of Kamala Harris, vice presidents are
to be not seen and not heard. I don't ever
(22:56):
remember what during Reagan Reagan's administration, I never once remember
George Bush ever getting in front of the mic until
the eight after seven years, I think Reagan said all right,
go you.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Know I was with I must there was and there
was there were plane hijackings in Europe that Yeah, the
summer of eighty five, and yeah, I was in Germany.
I was sent to Germany because there was a plane
that had been hijacked and there was an American who
had been killed on the plane, and George Bush came
(23:32):
and met the plane and we were there literally ten
feet away from George Bush, who then was Vice President
Bush Ronald Reagan didn't go. That was the plane where
I remember there was there was some really bad stuff
that summer where there was a fellow named Leon not
in that era where Leon Klinghoffer, a gentleman from New
York who was in a wheelchair was thrown over. Yeah, radicals,
(23:55):
plane hijackings, and yeah, so well George Bush didn't play
a major role because they they're they're the secondary figure,
no doubt about that. So okay, so you don't think
that that Joe Biden is going to elevate Kamala Harris,
Kamala Harris to the to the presidency.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
I just know this is great. You know, they actually
really hate each other, especially uh Biden. I know you
just can't stand there.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But I'll tell you who I think.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Is probably more upset than Joe, and that's Jill. I
think Jill like living in the White House.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Oh yeah, I agree with you on that, Georgia, gotta
let you run. I'm glad they just need to move
to the center. That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Okay, okay, generally, I think you're right on that, but
I'm not sure they're going to do it. Thanks, George,
talk to you soon. All right. George has left. So
we got one line at six one seven four ten thirty.
But if you really want to get through easily six
one seven nine three one ten thirty. Why people don't
write that number down is beyond me. Two lines at
six one seven nine three one ten thirty. What should
(25:04):
the Democrats do? They need some help? I believe that.
I'm not sure if Trump did this on the level
he I think the Democrats now are twenty million in
the in the hole, if I'm not mistaken. Twenty million
dollars in the hole. Uh uh. And Trump has said
(25:24):
he might help them out, man.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I don't even think they take his money. But pretty
he trolled them six one seven, six one seven nine.
I got Paul to get Luciana coming right back and
get some room for you. If you want to get
on board now, call later. You won't make it coming
back on Night Side. It's Night Side with Dan Ray
(25:49):
Boston's news radio. Back to the phones, we go, gonna
go to Luciano in Pennsylvania. Luciana, what should the Democrats
do to get back in the game?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
All right, I'll tell you, humbly speaking, I'm a Republican
Latino and I'm amazing glad that the Latino vote forty
six percent of Latinos, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and Cubans
supported Donald Trump, and black males supported him over twenty
(26:24):
six percent. And it was also the conservative evangelical Catholic,
Baptist Methodist Lutherans that came out and forced to support
the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So now my question, Luziano, is what should the Democrats
do to get back in the game.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I don't want them to get back in the game.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I want them to continue losing.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Dan, I'm being perfectly truthful.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
And honest to you.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I don't want them to get.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Out of the state.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Okay, So what should they dem Crats due to keep
to keep losing? What do they need to do to
keep losing?
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Luciano, keep on promoting the woke agenda, keep on increasing
our thirty six trillion dollars debt and keep on promoting
all phases of abortion.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
All right, fair enough, Louiana.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
Dan.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
By the way, Dan, did any Republicans from Massachusetts supported
the National Republicans? Did any Republicans on from Massachusetts became
win over Democrats? That's my important question to you, please.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You're talking about members in Congress. Is that your question?
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Congress to senators? Did they vote Indian?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Hold on, let me, you asked the questions. Legitimate question,
I'll give you legitimately.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Get excited forgive me, no problem, no problem.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We have two US Senators. Elizabeth Warren stood for re
election and she defeated a Republican challenger who ran a
very respectable race. But Massachusetts a very democratic status, you know,
probably them along with Rhode Island and New York. In
(28:12):
New York, the Republicans did did fine in a number
of congressional races. And we have nine members of the
House of Representatives, all of whom were Democrats, and all
of whom were re elected. So we are an overwhelming name.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Oh no, that's terrible, Dan. Well, thank you, Dan.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Thanks very much. That's not what the people of Massachusetts think.
Thank you, Luciano horrible. Yeah, okay, don't lose any sleep
over it, Luciana. Okay. Paul is in Plymouth. Paul, you
were next on NISIK.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Go right ahead, Dave, Anna, and thank you for your service.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Wasn't wasn't much, but thank you very much and happy veterans.
Stay to you as well, my friend.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Go right ahead, Thank you, And I just want you
were talking about George course a little while. George Bush Sr.
I had the honor of of Coast Guard four on
four or five six, becoming Coast Guard two as we
shuttled him across Boston Harbor back in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Experience.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, yeah, But based on that, I think what you know,
George Bush Senior was very ecumenical, should I say. I
mean they were able to work across the aisle with
the Democrats and uh and the Democrats back then likewise,
and I think they've got to get back to that,
(29:37):
and you've got to get back to that same sense
of you know, of morality that was going on with
the greatest generation. They respected those things and uh, you know,
and that's that's what's got to happen. I think what
happened with the Democratic Party going on from since the
(29:58):
nineteen sixties when they hit the came around and they just,
you know, they just started bringing their brand of anti
morality to the country and that's what's going on, and
so they've got to turn things around. Maybe this is
a wake up call for them to realize that, you know,
you just can't go way out into left field.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Well, let me ask you, what do you think about
Seth Moulton's comments on transgender sports activity. Uh, and the
the backlash that he received from some of the Democratic
Party who and what he said was that they're putting
Democrats to a purity test. I mean, this is going
(30:41):
to be an interesting set of circumstances for the Democrats.
I mean, you know, if Donald Trump now is president,
has the opportunity if let's say, some of the things
that he's promised, he actually implements and the economy gets better. Uh,
and if maybe the world trouble spots settled down a
(31:02):
little bit. I have no idea what's going to happen,
but if all of a sudden things go in his direction,
that's going to be good for the Republicans and the Democrats.
I think that they have to look at their agenda
and and realize that they're out of step with the
with the country right now. You know, Harris had over
(31:22):
a billion dollars to spend on this campaign. Trump had
a lot of free publicity, but he had he had
half that money to spend in the campaign. And generally,
when you get out spent two to one, you're going
to lose on a big campaign like this.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Well, I think Seth Boulton is right, and and you know,
the majority of Americans just don't buy into all this
far left agenda that the Democrats have have tried to
put forth. And so I think, uh, I think what's
(31:59):
happening is just seeing a realignment of the Democrat party itself,
you know, or Democrat voters. They're moving saying, hey, why
not for all this file left stuff? You know, I mean,
you've got to really look at your your ancestors, what
tod they believe in? Do you think? You know, I'm
(32:20):
sure my grandmother never would have supported you know, this
file and we learned from our ancestors, and so you know,
I mean that's and my grandmother, god Rest the soul,
was a die hard Democrat.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
So well though, I mean, you know, the question would
have to be asked if President Kennedy were alive today.
I mean his policies back in the in the early
nineteen sixties. He cut taxes, he was concerned about one
of the big issues of the nineteen sixty campaign with
the islands of Quimoy and matt Sue, which the Chinese
(32:58):
government had occupied, and that that believe you know, no
one remembers that, but that was a big issue in
the nineteen sixty campaign, these two islands off the coast
of China, which the nationalist Chinese wanted to hold and
what they would call back then the Red Chinese took over.
So you know, I don't know, if you know, maybe
(33:20):
John Kennedy would have evolved if he had lived that long.
But you look at his politics, his political stances, and
he was pretty conservative compared to the Democrats of today.
Paul loved you call me, and I really did. I
appreciate you taking the time.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Okay, no problem, Dan, and I have a good night.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Come on back more often. I need I need folks
like you, real rational callers. Thank you appreciate it. We'll
take a quick break. I now have well, I got
I got dot and I got Jeff coming up, which
is great. You guys are all set if you'd like
to get in. This is the six one seven, two,
four ten thirty six one. I can't make it an
easier for you six two, five four ten thirty. My
(34:02):
question is, and I'd love to hear from some Democrats too. Okay,
I know Luciana was not a Democrat. His don't take
his advice, or maybe you do, Day, I don't know.
I'd like to hear from some Democrats who want to
comment on what Seth Moulton had to say. We will
hopefully have Seth Moulton either Wednesday or Thursday night on
the show. I think I think it's an important conversation.
(34:23):
We'll take a quick break, coming right back. Lines open
at six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty. We'll
get as many and as we can. The only ones
guaranteed right now are Dot and Jeff coming back on
Nightside Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window
World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio. Okay, let's
get everyone in. Dot in Medford, Dodd, what advice would
(34:46):
you have for the Democrats.
Speaker 12 (34:48):
Well, first of all, the only Democrat at vote far
right now.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Is Seth Moulton.
Speaker 12 (34:53):
He's the only one with any good idea. Yeah, and
if Trump was smat hid Hi him to run the
trans problem. So anyway, my my.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Thing is, I don't know that Seth would accept that.
Speaker 12 (35:09):
Well I don't know.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
He might.
Speaker 12 (35:10):
He might, you never know. But but the billion dollar payola,
the big supporters like Oprah and Bayonce, they all got
a million bucks to walk on stage.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to track that down.
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Oh yeah, it was just on. It was just on.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
I'm trying to track it down to be sure.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Well it's true.
Speaker 12 (35:39):
Well, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Just saying that that when I track it down, I will.
I will track it down. Okay, that's just And then
just because I hear it on some cable station doesn't
doesn't necessarily for me. Mean, it's true. That's all I'm
telling you.
Speaker 12 (35:51):
Okay, But anyway, and I'm wondering, Oprah got a million bucks,
can you believe it?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Well, I have heard that, and I don't know if.
First of all, I want to I want to again,
but whatever, I'm not trying to dispute you. I'm just
telling you I have not seen at a good proof.
Speaker 12 (36:13):
From my she always twenty million. I know that vendors,
her lowly vendors are not getting paid. But the but
the people like Springsteen, they all got the big payoll.
I mean it's disgraceful.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Okay, So you would tell them to stop doing that?
Speaker 12 (36:32):
Well, of course, I mean, I mean, if you're supporters,
wouldn't they give a little an hour of free time?
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I would think so I always assumed, I got to
be honest with it. I always assumed those conferences were free.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
And I couldn't imagine me.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Well, I'm just telling you that's what I thought that
if I mean that, if you're a big superstar and
you're going to do a concert for someone, No, do
I think that the superstar had to pay for the arena,
had to pay for all of that. No? No, But
I would think that the superstar would donate their you know.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Happen.
Speaker 12 (37:05):
And that's why she's in the red now.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
No, I got that? All right, all right, you soon
have a great night. Good night. Jeff is in Whitman.
Jeff a suggestion for the Democrat.
Speaker 13 (37:18):
Jeffe listen to the exit polls. People said immigration and
the economy all the way back to the fighting going
in office and killing the Keystone pipeline killed all those
people of lovely good. So you gotta stop doing that.
You need to stop having people get crushed for your agendas.
(37:39):
That's the big thing I think you will. The next
thing would be stop stop perpetuating the lies. I mean,
Trump got elected, AOC is out there going He's gonna
come arrest me.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
That's a crock of crap.
Speaker 13 (37:51):
If he didn't kill arrest Hillary. You think he's gonna
go after AOC.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
You think he's gonna go after Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 13 (38:00):
He's not.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
No.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I mean, let's see what happens. But I don't know.
You know, obviously, I don't think he's going to go
arrest those people. Do I think he's going to deport
some of the real bad illegals that are here. Yes,
absolutely do I think he's gonna deport twenty million people.
I don't. I don't. I don't think it's possible. But
(38:23):
I think when you have a list of people that
was released by the Biden Justice Department of people who
were here, I think there's thirteen thousand, including a few
hundred who are convicted of murder, and but thirteen thousand
serious criminals. You got the Venza whale and gangs. Who
are you know where? Martha Raddit said, well, it's only
a few apartment buildings. Oh, a few apartment buildings, Martha
(38:47):
and Jdvinn said, think what you're saying. Just think of
what you just said. It's almost funny if it wasn't
so sad.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
And the other thing is stop polarizing the decision making.
Take look at under Obama. Remember in New Bedford and
Fall River getting cleared out and you had kids that
were left without parents for weeks and months. Stop polarizing it.
It's the same decision.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 13 (39:14):
Two cents, Thank you, Jeff.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
It's more than worth. Was a good call, worth much
more than two cents to me, Thanks Jeff, appreciate it.
How are I going to go to Peg? And pepperl Peg?
You might wrap the hour for us might wrap the show? Welcome,
Thanks for getting in out of the wire.
Speaker 5 (39:29):
Hi Dan, how are you tonight?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I'm doing fine?
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Peg?
Speaker 3 (39:32):
How are you? I hope you're doing well.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
I'm good. I'm good. You ask what the Democrats need
to help their party? Remember a time, and it wasn't
that long ago, when children would talk about Democrats and Republicans,
and they'd say things like the Democrats always help people
and the Republicans just want to get rich. And now
(39:58):
fifty years later it's turned around and it's become bizarre too.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Yeah, it's it's interesting when when you look at the
support that Trump had, President President elect Trump had from
the the the groups that have never supported a Republican
in any numbers before. I mean, everyone talked about George
Bush is going to retract votes, Mitt Romney's. They none
of them did. The only one that's done it is
(40:25):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
And but there's a reason, you know, I mean, we
all we all have our own perspective on what that
reason is.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
But they tell you what I think that can I
tell you what I think the reason is?
Speaker 11 (40:39):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Please, if I'm if I'm.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
If I'm a black family and I live in a
in a neighborhood that's being beset by crime, I don't
like that. I mean, no one likes their neighborhood. And
I think that finally that the some people have just said,
let's give the Republicans a chance.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
We've had enough.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
We've had enough. It's time that we take back our country,
you know, my mother used to say, charity begins at home.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yep, you know was a wise woman. Peg. I got
you in. I know that you're a late call, but
I got you in and now I'm up against it,
so I gotta let you run. Thank you, So good night,
you too, Thanks everybody who called, Thanks everyone who listened
back tomorrow night. Nice job Rob, good job Marita. My
name's Dan Ray. This is nice out. I will be
on Facebook at night side with Dan Ray in a
(41:28):
couple of minutes. All dogs, all cats, all pets go
to heaven. That's what my pal Charlie Ray is, who
passed fourteen years ago to February. That's why your pets
are who were passed. They loved you and you love them.
I do believe you'll see them again. See again tomorrow night.
On nights i'd see on Facebook and a couple of
minutes of a great Tuesday everyone,
It's nice size.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm doing Bodon's news radio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Well, I think that most of you know that the
presidential election is completed and that the president President Donald Trump,
has won, and he's won with three hundred and eleven.
Let me double check that, just to make sure we're correct.
Here real quickly, excuse me, three hundred and twelve Electoral
(00:30):
College votes. Now, we had a contest a week ago
tonight at this very hour, and we had a lot
of people. We had over twenty two people call in
(00:52):
making their predictions. There was one caller from San Diego
who said it'd be won by Kamala Harris. She picked
three seventy one. Not to be outdone, a caller from
Leminster predicted three hundred and seventy for Donald Trump. They
(01:14):
were both off. Again. The qualification was you had to
first of all pick who was going to win correctly,
and then whoever got closest, so the closest correct prediction
of the winner, So all of the Harris predictions were
out the window. Terry and Harwich she had three twenty
(01:36):
five for Harris, Walter and Peevety had two ninety two,
and on and on it went. Matt had Harris to ninety.
As I said, Lola out in San Diego had Harris
three twenty one, Rick and Doverhead Harris to ninety three.
So all of those were limited, so we went to
(01:57):
the Trump numbers, Trump with three twelve. The number that
was the closest was Paul, who was the second caller
in the eleven o'clock hour. So Paul, if you're listening,
you picked Donald Trump with three hundred and fifteen, and
(02:19):
you are the winner and you will receive the first
night Side tote bag from our friends at College Hype.
What you have to do is call in, identify yourself
to Rob and get your address and a phone number,
(02:41):
and we will get that tote bag out there still
I think being printed. If you're interested, you can go
to Nightside on demand dot com if you want to
purchase any Christmas gear, holiday gear for family members, for yourself.
There's all sorts of items there on night Side on
Demand no excuse me, on nights Side gear dot com
(03:01):
Nightside and Demand. You can listen to our prior podcast.
So Paul from South Boston will give you a big
round of applause as the winner from the Digital School
School audience. Everybody's standing here applauding you, Paul, Congratulations, you
will get the first in the line Night Side tote bag. Now,
(03:21):
if someone knows Paul from South Boston and he happens
not to be listening, when I'm gonna do, Paul, is
I'm gonna mention this two or three nights, and if
we don't hear from you, we then will pick a
second winner. Okay, So if for some reason you are
no longer listening to the Night Side oftentimes, I was
able to say when we would announce the winner, but
(03:43):
it is being announced tonight. We'll announce it the next
couple of eleven o'clocks, and then I'll make a decision
that we will move past you, Paul, and we'll find
whoever else was closest. And I'll have to do some
investigation here to see if anybody else was closest than you.
(04:06):
You were at three point fifteen. You were off by
only three. There's one person here who's off by only
five Telvis from you even won Pelvis. But if Paul
doesn't take his prize, Pelvis, you keep listening at eleven
o'clock and you might win the prize anyway. I also
(04:29):
want to bring up the day. In the House, you know,
the Senate, the Republicans have carried the Senate. I think
there's still one Senate race which is undecided, and that
is in Arizona, and that's probably going to go to
the Democrats. So the Republicans will pick up four seats,
the Democrats will have lost four seats. The Republicans will
(04:50):
have a fifty three to forty seven majority in the Senate.
And then in the House. The best numbers I can
find are in the New York the Republicans have won
two hundred and fourteen seats, the Democrats two h five.
There are sixteen undecided seats in the House. In order
to have a majority, you have to have to eighteen.
(05:14):
According to the New York Times, of those sixteen undecided races,
right now, the Republicans will carry eight and the Democrats
will carry eight. Now, that could flip a little bit,
but I think that the Times is pretty right in
the money here, and that means the Republicans with this projection,
will will hold the House. They'll increase their numbers a
(05:35):
little bit. They will get to two twenty two and
the Democrats will be at two thirteen. So the Republicans
will have a working majority a little bigger than what
they had in the last session of the session that
is now concluding. So that brings you up to date.
We'll keep you posted on all of that, I promise.
And again, if Paul is listening, Paul, you have a
(05:59):
tote bag, but you got to claim it and you
got to prove to us that you were the Paul
who called, which is why I'm not mentioning the community
that you represent. Paul anyway, I just want to make
sure that there was another Paul who would take your
tote back. Now, last hour tonight, here's what I want
(06:19):
to do tonight. I want to give you an opportunity
to tell me what should the Democrats do. The Democrats
are in a little bit of disarray now they've lost
the Senate, they've lost the White House. This has been
a tough it's been a tough election for the Democrats. Okay,
(06:39):
we know that Seth Moulton made some comments late last
week that the Democrats have to get their priorities rearranged.
Bernie Sanders has said on a different topic. So the
question that I'm going to ask you is, if you're
a Democratic political consultant, where did the Democrats go wrong?
(07:01):
Vice President Harris had over a billion dollars to spend
on this race. Donald Trump had about four hundred million dollars. Normally,
when you're out spend two to one in a race,
you lose. Donald Trump won every swing state, every swing state,
all seven of them, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and
(07:24):
of course the Blue Wall of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
So I don't care if you're a Republican, you're a Democrat,
particularly if you're Democrat. What would you like to see
your party do? How do you turn this around? Uh,
there's a congressional election two years from now on a
presidential election in twenty twenty eight. We'll open up the
phone lines. What should the Democrats do? Six one, seven, two, five,
(07:46):
four ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten
thirty talking politics for the rest of the night from
the perspective of the Democratic Party. What advice would you
give them? And some of you might give some really
friendly advice even though you're a Republican. What did they
do wrong? What do they have to do right? Going forward?
Coming back on night Side. Now, back to Dan ray
line from the Window World.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Night Side Studios on w b Z News Radio.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
All right, there's a lot of soul searching in the
Democratic Party. Let me see what Gary says. Gary, Gary,
I'm not gonna make you way. What should the Democrats do? Gary?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Well, try up the Democrats in so many words, embrace
Trump to likability. Let's just hope Trump just does that
go back to being Trump and being putting people down
and being in trunk because I am a Trump fan,
and let's face the facts, just be likable, be likable,
and if Trump happens to just be out, I can't
(08:46):
say I wish the president would stop going out. We're
trying to support him and so forth.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Do you agree, well, I think he has.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
An opportunity now, very off, very rarely do you really
get a second chance, said anything. Either you get fired
from a job or you get dumped by a girlfriend
or a boyfriend or whatever. And it's tough to get
a second chance, you know, if you if you think
you make a mistake. Same way with professional athletes. Very
rarely does a professional athlete get a chance to get
(09:18):
that second chance, that second opportunity. Uh, he's got a
second opportunity. The biggest opportunity anyone could have being president
of the United States. Let's see who he picks, Let's
see what policy he imposes, and and and we'll go
from there. He's he's got, He's going to have the Senate.
(09:38):
He's going to have the House, I think, although again
it's not official yet, but I think it's getting pretty
close to official. In the House. He's coming in. He's
going to put the revenge tour away. I hope he
doesn't do that. I think that that all the federal
prosecutions against him are going away. I think that that
he will probably get at worse to slapping the wrist
(10:01):
from the judge, Judge One Mershon to New York. Who's
going to put the president of the United States in jail?
I don't think so. I don't think so. Right, So
he won, he won big as they would.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Say he won Bigley, That's funny. One thing I do
the one thing I do want to say is this
is uh Trump as far as I'm concerned, I hope. Well,
let's trace the facts. Dan, I'm sixty one years of age,
and when I reached forty and I was working two
jobs from the age of twenty five to the age
(10:33):
of fifty to the last ten years. I just worked
a regular job. I did it for twenty five years,
working sixty to eighty hours a week. What I'm getting
at is we're not all getting younger, and that includes
you too. And what I'm trying to say is that Trump,
you know, if you don't have to be in front
of the microphone, give it to vance, you know, because
(10:54):
we want the man to be healthy and be there
for the next four years because any time someone could
pass away and die. And I mean that about Donald Trump,
myself and you, and don't hug the microphone because right now,
as you know, Dan, the stock markets out of control.
I didn't even mention it, neither did you. And that's
another reason why Donald Trump needs to be the president.
(11:15):
The investors are investing back into the United States.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well again, the opportunity here is great for him. He
has again the opportunity to be remembered as a different
sort of president. If he had lost to Vice President Harris,
he would have had to have just gone away. He
now may have another Supreme Court appointment or two to make,
who knows. So I hope again, as I don't care
(11:43):
who would have won, I hope the president succeeds now
and when he makes mistakes, I'll criticize him. I didn't
think he could win. I've already said that. I've publicly
admitted I was wrong on his ability to get I
thought after January sixth, there's no way this guy's ever
going to be re elected president. But guess what, wrong
he's been re elected president. I want him to succeed
(12:04):
because if he succeeds, the country succeeds. I feel this.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I was wrong too. I didn't think he was gonna win.
And the last thing I can say to you, Dan
is this, I hope I had a conversation with you
instead of yelling at you.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Okay, you don't have to yell at me. I like conversations. Man,
beg you ll thanks, doctor, lady, good night. All right,
let's I'm gonna get to some more calls here, I
promise the only line, well we just lost, Well Gary
has cleared WHATMP that just got filled? If you want
to call and get on six one, seven, nine, three. Uh,
(12:40):
this is over the weekend. Some comments that I thought
were interesting. Uh, this is Bernie Sanders. Now Bernie would
like to take the party to the left. Okay, he
would like to go pretty hardcore left. So this is
Bernie Cut two. Please, Rob cut to Bernie Sanders over
(13:00):
the weekend.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Working people in this country are extremely angry. They have
a right to be angry. In the richest country in
the history of the world. Today, the people on top
are doing phenomenally well, while sixty percent of Americans are
living paycheck to paycheck and millions of families worried that
(13:25):
their kids are actually going to have a lower standard
of living than they do.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Well, He's not incorrect on that his solution would be socialism.
Nancy Pelosi, who was part of the coup that took
Joe Biden out literally last July, had this to say
about Bernie Sanders. Although I think down deep, Nancy's probably
(13:51):
other than herself. She probably would would is a socialist underneath.
She likes her she likes her lifestyle. Cut number three, Rob.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Hey, Bernie Sanders has not won. Let me, with all
due respect, and I have a great deal of respect
for him for what he stands for, but I don't
respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the
working class family.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Well, Nancy Pelosi started to say, Bernie Sanders hasn't won.
Bernie Sanders actually would have won the twenty sixteen president
Democratic presidential nomination, except they took it away. They took
it away from him. So let be also, well, here's
(14:37):
Whoopy Goldberg, astude political analyst that she is. This was
her rent after the election results became a parent. This
is cut thirteen.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Whoopy Goldberg, Let's talk about the real stuff. Your pocketbook's bad,
not because the Bidens did anything, not because the.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Economy is.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Your grocery bills are what they are. Is because the
folks that own the groceries are pigs.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
But no one not olculated that.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, that's what I'm That's what I'm saying, is that
let's talk about the reasons why stuff gas is high,
not because the Bidens didn't try to help, but because
the folks who control that decided I want more money.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Now. That is from one of the richest people on
the face of the earth, who reportedly paid a lot
of money for doing an interview with Vice President Harris.
Kind of interesting, kind of interesting. We're going to try
to do a little bit more research on that. And
then you have well, Congressman Seth Moulten, who I agree
(15:47):
with made some comments about trans athletes competing in girls
sports at high school and college level. Girls and boys
do compete against each other when they're you know, starting
off playing soccer and kindergarten first grade soccer. But when
(16:08):
boys get a little stronger, I don't think you want
them playing field hockey or volleyball because the strength can
become a can become an attribute. This is Seth Moulton
who's in hot water for suggesting that maybe the Democrats
need to look at these issues cut eighteen.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Please Rob, look, I was just speaking authentically as a
dad about one of many issues where I think we're
just out of touch with the majority of voters, and
I stand by my position. You know, maybe I didn't
get all the words exactly right, but the point is
that the backlash I've received proves my point that we
can't even have these discussions as a party. I mean,
(16:51):
the chairman of the Master's this Democratic Party wouldn't even
return my phone call. And we've got to be able
to have these debates. But instead we have a wing
of our party that shames us, that tries to cancel
people who even bring up these difficult topics, and frankly
shame's voters. This is the same group of people who
told us to defund the police, who told us that
there wasn't a problem at the southern border, who told
(17:13):
us that inflation was transient, whatever that means, and who
told us that Biden was just fine. And they're out
of touch with voters. If we just listened to voters
on all of these issues, they were telling us the truth.
So we've got to be willing to have these debates.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, and I think that's the debate. And that's what
I want to hear from you tonight is what did
the Democrats need to do to write the Ship of State?
And by the way, apparently Congressman Moulton did miss a
phone call with the party chair here in Massachusetts, and
they will talk at some point. There's some city councilor
up in Salem, I think's first term city councilor said
(17:51):
that Seth Moulton should resign. I don't think that's going
to happen, and I think that Seth Moulton has made
a lot of sense. We hope to have Seth Moulton
on before the week is out. Uh, And maybe you
can take some maybe we'll give you some opportunity to
talk with them on the phone. We'll have to see
how that works out. Let's get back to the calls.
Let me go next to George and Bridgewater. George, next
on Nice. I appreciate you holding on all right ahead, George.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Oh, you're very welcome. I think the most important thing
Dan is the Democrat Party has to move to the center.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I think that's what Seth Molton is saying. A little
bit Bernie is going to take him in an opposite direction,
but that's what So you agree with Molten on some
of these issues or.
Speaker 10 (18:33):
No, absolutely, you know they need this. Well, I can
go a little bit further. They need to stop talking
about DEI and racism and you know, transgenders are you know,
they're good people. But I don't know how many votes
they're going to get. Just come right out and say
(18:57):
that no problem. Will try and senda, but we uh,
you know, we don't like transenders uh competing in uh
woman's sports.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
There's a lot of point. That was the point that
that Moulton was making. The other thing too, is that
you have uh there was a big push where you know,
you know, unisex bathrooms in high schools and things like that,
you know, I mean, that's that's very cutting edge, and
that that hurt the might have helped the Democratic Party
in some areas of the country, but it hurt the
(19:33):
Democratic Party in you know, other areas of the country.
And it's a big country out there. And now it's
not like the old days where a politician could go
to one state and say one thing and go to
another and say it, although they still try to do that.
But now when they say something dumb, uh in New York,
it's played everywhere, And they say something dumb in Mississippi,
(19:56):
it's played everywhere, or something that's that's that's duplicit. Yeah,
I think the Democratic Party has has kind of got
out of touch. And the irony is that on a
lot of those issues. Look at uh, more Latino voters
voted for Donald Trump than any Republican even though Donald
Trump is talking about potentially deporting a lot of people
(20:19):
from the Southern hemisphere.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Black men voted more for Donald Trump, likew Now, Harris
still won amongst black voters, right, but George Boyce didn't
appeal to black voters. Mitt Romney didn't appeal to black voters.
John McCain didn't appeal to black voters. Donald Trump, you know,
(20:44):
it's it's some to some people, it's mystifying, but the
results are the results.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
And then Kamala Harris and any other Democrat that wants
to run definitely should have her boss under the bus.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Oh when she felt that he was well, I don't
know that she could do that. Let me get it.
I just got to play one more SoundBite for you.
This is the former communications director. His name is Jamal Simmons,
and he had this to count to say over the weekend,
which is laughable. I want to see what you think
about it. Rob Cuts seventeen. Please.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Joe Biden's been a phenomenal president. He's lived up to
so many of the promises he's made. As one promise
left that he could fulfill being a transitional figure, he
could resign the presidency in the next thirty days. Make
Kamala Harris the president of the United States. Will give
it absolved, being able to from having to oversee the
January sixth transition right of her own defeat, and it
(21:48):
would make sure that it would dominate the news at
a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency
and doing things that the public we want to see.
Is the time. This is the moment for us to
change the entire perspective of how democratic. And this is
now jumped from an internet name to a Sunday morning show.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
They're laughing at this guy. I mean, this guy actually
believed that. What do you if Joe Biden thought about
doing that? And he whispered to Jill tonight, Jill, I'm
thinking about resigning the president so Vice President Harris can
become president for a couple of months. What do you
think she would hit him with a lamp, horror, a
frying pan.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
You know, in the fifties, sixty seventies, you've I think
maybe they still use that. You've heard the expression that
children ought to be seen and not heard. I think,
and yeah, in defence of Kamala Harris, vice presidents are
to be not seen and not heard. I don't ever
(22:56):
remember what during Reagan Reagan's administration, I never once remember
George Bush ever getting in front of the mic until
the eight after seven years, I think Reagan said all right,
go you.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Know I was with I must there was and there
was there were plane hijackings in Europe that Yeah, the
summer of eighty five, and yeah, I was in Germany.
I was sent to Germany because there was a plane
that had been hijacked and there was an American who
had been killed on the plane, and George Bush came
(23:32):
and met the plane and we were there literally ten
feet away from George Bush, who then was Vice President
Bush Ronald Reagan didn't go. That was the plane where
I remember there was there was some really bad stuff
that summer where there was a fellow named Leon not
in that era where Leon Klinghoffer, a gentleman from New
York who was in a wheelchair was thrown over. Yeah, radicals,
(23:55):
plane hijackings, and yeah, so well George Bush didn't play
a major role because they they're they're the secondary figure,
no doubt about that. So okay, so you don't think
that that Joe Biden is going to elevate Kamala Harris,
Kamala Harris to the to the presidency.
Speaker 10 (24:13):
I just know this is great. You know, they actually
really hate each other, especially uh Biden. I know you
just can't stand there.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But I'll tell you who I think.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Is probably more upset than Joe, and that's Jill. I
think Jill like living in the White House.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Oh yeah, I agree with you on that, Georgia, gotta
let you run. I'm glad they just need to move
to the center. That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Okay, okay, generally, I think you're right on that, but
I'm not sure they're going to do it. Thanks, George,
talk to you soon. All right. George has left. So
we got one line at six one seven four ten thirty.
But if you really want to get through easily six
one seven nine three one ten thirty. Why people don't
write that number down is beyond me. Two lines at
six one seven nine three one ten thirty. What should
(25:04):
the Democrats do? They need some help? I believe that.
I'm not sure if Trump did this on the level
he I think the Democrats now are twenty million in
the in the hole, if I'm not mistaken. Twenty million
dollars in the hole. Uh uh. And Trump has said
(25:24):
he might help them out, man.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I don't even think they take his money. But pretty
he trolled them six one seven, six one seven nine.
I got Paul to get Luciana coming right back and
get some room for you. If you want to get
on board now, call later. You won't make it coming
back on Night Side. It's Night Side with Dan Ray
(25:49):
Boston's news radio. Back to the phones, we go, gonna
go to Luciano in Pennsylvania. Luciana, what should the Democrats
do to get back in the game?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
All right, I'll tell you, humbly speaking, I'm a Republican
Latino and I'm amazing glad that the Latino vote forty
six percent of Latinos, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and Cubans
supported Donald Trump, and black males supported him over twenty
(26:24):
six percent. And it was also the conservative evangelical Catholic,
Baptist Methodist Lutherans that came out and forced to support
the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
So now my question, Luziano, is what should the Democrats
do to get back in the game.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
I don't want them to get back in the game.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I want them to continue losing.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Dan, I'm being perfectly truthful.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
And honest to you.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I don't want them to get.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Out of the state.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Okay, So what should they dem Crats due to keep
to keep losing? What do they need to do to
keep losing?
Speaker 11 (27:03):
Luciano, keep on promoting the woke agenda, keep on increasing
our thirty six trillion dollars debt and keep on promoting
all phases of abortion.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
All right, fair enough, Louiana.
Speaker 11 (27:20):
Dan.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
By the way, Dan, did any Republicans from Massachusetts supported
the National Republicans? Did any Republicans on from Massachusetts became
win over Democrats? That's my important question to you, please.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You're talking about members in Congress. Is that your question?
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Congress to senators? Did they vote Indian?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Hold on, let me, you asked the questions. Legitimate question,
I'll give you legitimately.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Get excited forgive me, no problem, no problem.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We have two US Senators. Elizabeth Warren stood for re
election and she defeated a Republican challenger who ran a
very respectable race. But Massachusetts a very democratic status, you know,
probably them along with Rhode Island and New York. In
(28:12):
New York, the Republicans did did fine in a number
of congressional races. And we have nine members of the
House of Representatives, all of whom were Democrats, and all
of whom were re elected. So we are an overwhelming name.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Oh no, that's terrible, Dan. Well, thank you, Dan.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Thanks very much. That's not what the people of Massachusetts think.
Thank you, Luciano horrible. Yeah, okay, don't lose any sleep
over it, Luciana. Okay. Paul is in Plymouth. Paul, you
were next on NISIK.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Go right ahead, Dave, Anna, and thank you for your service.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Wasn't wasn't much, but thank you very much and happy veterans.
Stay to you as well, my friend.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Go right ahead, Thank you, And I just want you
were talking about George course a little while. George Bush Sr.
I had the honor of of Coast Guard four on
four or five six, becoming Coast Guard two as we
shuttled him across Boston Harbor back in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Experience.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, yeah, But based on that, I think what you know,
George Bush Senior was very ecumenical, should I say. I
mean they were able to work across the aisle with
the Democrats and uh and the Democrats back then likewise,
and I think they've got to get back to that,
(29:37):
and you've got to get back to that same sense
of you know, of morality that was going on with
the greatest generation. They respected those things and uh, you know,
and that's that's what's got to happen. I think what
happened with the Democratic Party going on from since the
(29:58):
nineteen sixties when they hit the came around and they just,
you know, they just started bringing their brand of anti
morality to the country and that's what's going on, and
so they've got to turn things around. Maybe this is
a wake up call for them to realize that, you know,
you just can't go way out into left field.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Well, let me ask you, what do you think about
Seth Moulton's comments on transgender sports activity. Uh, and the
the backlash that he received from some of the Democratic
Party who and what he said was that they're putting
Democrats to a purity test. I mean, this is going
(30:41):
to be an interesting set of circumstances for the Democrats.
I mean, you know, if Donald Trump now is president,
has the opportunity if let's say, some of the things
that he's promised, he actually implements and the economy gets better. Uh,
and if maybe the world trouble spots settled down a
(31:02):
little bit. I have no idea what's going to happen,
but if all of a sudden things go in his direction,
that's going to be good for the Republicans and the Democrats.
I think that they have to look at their agenda
and and realize that they're out of step with the
with the country right now. You know, Harris had over
(31:22):
a billion dollars to spend on this campaign. Trump had
a lot of free publicity, but he had he had
half that money to spend in the campaign. And generally,
when you get out spent two to one, you're going
to lose on a big campaign like this.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Well, I think Seth Boulton is right, and and you know,
the majority of Americans just don't buy into all this
far left agenda that the Democrats have have tried to
put forth. And so I think, uh, I think what's
(31:59):
happening is just seeing a realignment of the Democrat party itself,
you know, or Democrat voters. They're moving saying, hey, why
not for all this file left stuff? You know, I mean,
you've got to really look at your your ancestors, what
tod they believe in? Do you think? You know, I'm
(32:20):
sure my grandmother never would have supported you know, this
file and we learned from our ancestors, and so you know,
I mean that's and my grandmother, god Rest the soul,
was a die hard Democrat.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
So well though, I mean, you know, the question would
have to be asked if President Kennedy were alive today.
I mean his policies back in the in the early
nineteen sixties. He cut taxes, he was concerned about one
of the big issues of the nineteen sixty campaign with
the islands of Quimoy and matt Sue, which the Chinese
(32:58):
government had occupied, and that that believe you know, no
one remembers that, but that was a big issue in
the nineteen sixty campaign, these two islands off the coast
of China, which the nationalist Chinese wanted to hold and
what they would call back then the Red Chinese took over.
So you know, I don't know, if you know, maybe
(33:20):
John Kennedy would have evolved if he had lived that long.
But you look at his politics, his political stances, and
he was pretty conservative compared to the Democrats of today.
Paul loved you call me, and I really did. I
appreciate you taking the time.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Okay, no problem, Dan, and I have a good night.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Come on back more often. I need I need folks
like you, real rational callers. Thank you appreciate it. We'll
take a quick break. I now have well, I got
I got dot and I got Jeff coming up, which
is great. You guys are all set if you'd like
to get in. This is the six one seven, two,
four ten thirty six one. I can't make it an
easier for you six two, five four ten thirty. My
(34:02):
question is, and I'd love to hear from some Democrats too. Okay,
I know Luciana was not a Democrat. His don't take
his advice, or maybe you do, Day, I don't know.
I'd like to hear from some Democrats who want to
comment on what Seth Moulton had to say. We will
hopefully have Seth Moulton either Wednesday or Thursday night on
the show. I think I think it's an important conversation.
(34:23):
We'll take a quick break, coming right back. Lines open
at six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty. We'll
get as many and as we can. The only ones
guaranteed right now are Dot and Jeff coming back on
Nightside Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window
World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio. Okay, let's
get everyone in. Dot in Medford, Dodd, what advice would
(34:46):
you have for the Democrats.
Speaker 12 (34:48):
Well, first of all, the only Democrat at vote far
right now.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Is Seth Moulton.
Speaker 12 (34:53):
He's the only one with any good idea. Yeah, and
if Trump was smat hid Hi him to run the
trans problem. So anyway, my my.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Thing is, I don't know that Seth would accept that.
Speaker 12 (35:09):
Well I don't know.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
He might.
Speaker 12 (35:10):
He might, you never know. But but the billion dollar payola,
the big supporters like Oprah and Bayonce, they all got
a million bucks to walk on stage.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to track that down.
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Oh yeah, it was just on. It was just on.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
I'm trying to track it down to be sure.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Well it's true.
Speaker 12 (35:39):
Well, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Just saying that that when I track it down, I will.
I will track it down. Okay, that's just And then
just because I hear it on some cable station doesn't
doesn't necessarily for me. Mean, it's true. That's all I'm
telling you.
Speaker 12 (35:51):
Okay, But anyway, and I'm wondering, Oprah got a million bucks,
can you believe it?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Well, I have heard that, and I don't know if.
First of all, I want to I want to again,
but whatever, I'm not trying to dispute you. I'm just
telling you I have not seen at a good proof.
Speaker 12 (36:13):
From my she always twenty million. I know that vendors,
her lowly vendors are not getting paid. But the but
the people like Springsteen, they all got the big payoll.
I mean it's disgraceful.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Okay, So you would tell them to stop doing that?
Speaker 12 (36:32):
Well, of course, I mean, I mean, if you're supporters,
wouldn't they give a little an hour of free time?
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I would think so I always assumed, I got to
be honest with it. I always assumed those conferences were free.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
And I couldn't imagine me.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Well, I'm just telling you that's what I thought that
if I mean that, if you're a big superstar and
you're going to do a concert for someone, No, do
I think that the superstar had to pay for the arena,
had to pay for all of that. No? No, But
I would think that the superstar would donate their you know.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
Happen.
Speaker 12 (37:05):
And that's why she's in the red now.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
No, I got that? All right, all right, you soon
have a great night. Good night. Jeff is in Whitman.
Jeff a suggestion for the Democrat.
Speaker 13 (37:18):
Jeffe listen to the exit polls. People said immigration and
the economy all the way back to the fighting going
in office and killing the Keystone pipeline killed all those
people of lovely good. So you gotta stop doing that.
You need to stop having people get crushed for your agendas.
(37:39):
That's the big thing I think you will. The next
thing would be stop stop perpetuating the lies. I mean,
Trump got elected, AOC is out there going He's gonna
come arrest me.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
That's a crock of crap.
Speaker 13 (37:51):
If he didn't kill arrest Hillary. You think he's gonna
go after AOC.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
You think he's gonna go after Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 13 (38:00):
He's not.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
No.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I mean, let's see what happens. But I don't know.
You know, obviously, I don't think he's going to go
arrest those people. Do I think he's going to deport
some of the real bad illegals that are here. Yes,
absolutely do I think he's gonna deport twenty million people.
I don't. I don't. I don't think it's possible. But
(38:23):
I think when you have a list of people that
was released by the Biden Justice Department of people who
were here, I think there's thirteen thousand, including a few
hundred who are convicted of murder, and but thirteen thousand
serious criminals. You got the Venza whale and gangs. Who
are you know where? Martha Raddit said, well, it's only
a few apartment buildings. Oh, a few apartment buildings, Martha
(38:47):
and Jdvinn said, think what you're saying. Just think of
what you just said. It's almost funny if it wasn't
so sad.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
And the other thing is stop polarizing the decision making.
Take look at under Obama. Remember in New Bedford and
Fall River getting cleared out and you had kids that
were left without parents for weeks and months. Stop polarizing it.
It's the same decision.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 13 (39:14):
Two cents, Thank you, Jeff.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
It's more than worth. Was a good call, worth much
more than two cents to me, Thanks Jeff, appreciate it.
How are I going to go to Peg? And pepperl Peg?
You might wrap the hour for us might wrap the show? Welcome,
Thanks for getting in out of the wire.
Speaker 5 (39:29):
Hi Dan, how are you tonight?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
I'm doing fine?
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Peg?
Speaker 3 (39:32):
How are you? I hope you're doing well.
Speaker 5 (39:34):
I'm good. I'm good. You ask what the Democrats need
to help their party? Remember a time, and it wasn't
that long ago, when children would talk about Democrats and Republicans,
and they'd say things like the Democrats always help people
and the Republicans just want to get rich. And now
(39:58):
fifty years later it's turned around and it's become bizarre too.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Yeah, it's it's interesting when when you look at the
support that Trump had, President President elect Trump had from
the the the groups that have never supported a Republican
in any numbers before. I mean, everyone talked about George
Bush is going to retract votes, Mitt Romney's. They none
of them did. The only one that's done it is
(40:25):
Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
And but there's a reason, you know, I mean, we
all we all have our own perspective on what that
reason is.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
But they tell you what I think that can I
tell you what I think the reason is?
Speaker 11 (40:39):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (40:40):
Please, if I'm if I'm.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
If I'm a black family and I live in a
in a neighborhood that's being beset by crime, I don't
like that. I mean, no one likes their neighborhood. And
I think that finally that the some people have just said,
let's give the Republicans a chance.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
We've had enough.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
We've had enough. It's time that we take back our country,
you know, my mother used to say, charity begins at home.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yep, you know was a wise woman. Peg. I got
you in. I know that you're a late call, but
I got you in and now I'm up against it,
so I gotta let you run. Thank you, So good night,
you too, Thanks everybody who called, Thanks everyone who listened
back tomorrow night. Nice job Rob, good job Marita. My
name's Dan Ray. This is nice out. I will be
on Facebook at night side with Dan Ray in a
(41:28):
couple of minutes. All dogs, all cats, all pets go
to heaven. That's what my pal Charlie Ray is, who
passed fourteen years ago to February. That's why your pets
are who were passed. They loved you and you love them.
I do believe you'll see them again. See again tomorrow night.
On nights i'd see on Facebook and a couple of
minutes of a great Tuesday everyone,

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
