Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's night time with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you Boston's radio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
We are talking about the election results around the country.
We still have to get the election results for you
from Boston, which I think is important. We know that
Michelle wou was running in effect well running unopposed. Tonight,
it appears that with where we got third of the
vote counted, she's got ninety percent. There were twenty two
(00:29):
hundred writing votes so far twenty she has only twenty
two thousand. It's going to be a really low voter
turnout in Boston amongst the city councilors at large. If
you're interested in that, it looks as if erin Murphy
my top the ticket. That's an interesting development. Ruzie Louis
(00:49):
Louis June is a second, Julia Mahea is third, Henry
Santana fourth. They would be the four at large members
unless Frank Baker can close a twenty vote gap here.
He's the only one who seems to have a chance
to break into the top four, but as some time
(01:10):
goes on, he's going to run out of places to
pick up vote. So we'll keep you in touch in Boston.
No surprises amongst the incumbent demo the incumbent city councilors,
and in the in the race to succeed Tanya Fernandez.
It is a kind of close race at this point.
We'll hold off on that one between Reverend Miniyard Culpeper
(01:35):
and Sayid coach Ahmed. That's it's it's still too close
to call. So anyway, let's get back to we were
going to finish up with Tom from Medway. Didn't want
to short change him. Tom, I got you back as
I promised, you go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Wells, as in any of these elections, it's the economy.
The economy, the economy. The economy has been horrible, seems
to be getting worse. I don't know how anybody, you know, seriously,
I don't know how anybody could be thinking about voting
for a Republican when it's become clear that they're going
to do exactly as Trump tells them to do.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Well, let me let me ask you a couple of questions. Tom,
Okay again, my job here is to is to probe
comments that people make. Okay, what are you paying for
gas these days? For gasoline?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, hold on a minute, though, what does what would
that matter? If I don't have a job to go to.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well again, you know, if if you get hit by
a train tomorrow won't matter either. By the way, but
what well I'm saying with unemployment ridingb do me a
favorite tom if you want, I'll give you thirty seconds.
You can make a speech you.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Want to do that, that would probably be easier.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Sure, give you thirty seconds. Go ahead, you got thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I just wanted to. I was basically just going to say,
with with such a bad economy, with people hurting, and
to be giving forty billion dollars of taxpayer money to
bail out Venezuela, what is that about?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
People shouldn't have consequences, and I think that people have
woken up to that now. Thank you, have a good night.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yep, you did it in twenty two seconds. By the way,
no money was given to Venezuela. The only thing that
Trump has been doing to Venezuela is blowing their drug
boats out of the water. The forty million dollars that
you were talking about was given to Argentina. So it's
always good, you know, to know what you're talking about.
But feel free to call back. We'll have another good conversation.
(03:25):
Let me go to Gregory in Dorchester. Greg and Dorchester,
how are you tonight?
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Hey, Yeah, thank you for saving it. Frank cal You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Thank you for calling in.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Yeah, you gave me the news. I think when the
news I wanted about house to that large and sorry
to see my friend Bakery didn't make it. Frank, good friends.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, it's only about the numbers that I have out
of For some reason, the city of Boston has become
very slow in their numbers. Greg is so so ninety
four of two out of seventy five precincts. That's about
a third thirty four percent.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Baker is in fifth place, which doesn't work for him.
But Aaron Murphy has uh looks like she might top
the at large ballot, which which would be a feather
in her hat. You know, I got to tell you
I had talked to Frank Baker in July and I said, gee, Frank,
any night you want to come on the show, just
give me a call. He never called. So yeah, well,
(04:23):
I mean it's it's only an opportunity to h you
can buy they can buy radio advertising, or they could
come on as a guest. That I did like Frank
and I said, call me, you know whatever, you and
never never heard back from him. So I didn't want
to chase him. And if he if he doesn't make it,
a few votes here, a few votes they might have
helped him.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So just just a thought.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I tried to stay I try to stay away from
the city city council races because whenever you have one,
then you got to get two more and three and so.
But I know Frank, he's a very decent guy, and
he wanted he wanted to get back into office. And
who knows, depending upon what precincts out, he.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Might never get out.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Maybe you know, yeah he.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Might if he got some some good strongholds of his,
you know, Dorchester, in places like that, he might be five.
We'll say, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, yeah, Okay about the lecture itself about the Democrats
winning and uh, well, let's through the inflation though.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I mean Trump did say, you know when he on
that you would take inflation down the cost of living,
And then I said, god damn, you go to the
store today or you would try to get a small
shoulder or anything, or a piece of steak. He can't
afford it.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, Well, we're going in different grocery stores. I
think I go to market basket. And what the reason
I asked Tom about the price of gasoline? What are
you paying for gas?
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Greg? Are you still driving?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I don't drive.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, okay, you know, Okay, Well that's good you're not
driving that gas prices are down to abound three dollars. Okay,
those are very important. Uh, it's a very important price
of gas. You can talk to me, talk to me
about the price of this or the price of that,
but gasoline, whether it's diesel or whatever, that's what runs
(06:20):
the economy. And so everything that you and I buy
in a store gets transported there by a truck.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And so gas prices are down. That's a good thing.
There's no roaring inflation at this point. Inflation under Biden
was way up. Uh. When when Trump went into office,
they were saying, well, the price of eggs are incredible
and well, and they were the price of eggs are
now coming back down in the right direction. So you know,
again you have to be careful. And there's there's a
(06:48):
bunch of things, Greg, that I'm not buying in stores.
I used to love Pepperidge Farm, Chocolate.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Chica, the mac basket, to Davas's and then mew and
in the store and they can afford share, they pay
their their their help away, little more, little way more
than that stop shop and the sour markets of the places.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well again, I hope market Basket doesn't change with the
with the shift away from mister Dels. But look, that's
that's where I'll be in the next couple of days.
And I know what I want to buy there. I
know what I can get on the break there, and
then I remind there.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
To be honest, it's close to me, but there isn't
any move around there retail.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I hear you. I hear you. Well, Greg, you hang
in there, buddy, Okay. Yeah, it's always darkest.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Before I have some of it.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I had a bad summer.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You help.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I'm sorry you did what I had.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
A bad bad somewhere. I know you probably heard about it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I am aware of it. I chatted with our with
a mutual friend of ours, and you lost your son
this summer, and yeah, tell you how much I heard that.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, when you were from the University of certainly massive
from Harbor.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Oh God, well, Frank, he was blessed to have had
you as a dad and you were blessed to have
had him as a sod.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yeah right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And hopefully we believe that that you'll see him again,
if you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Yeah, all right, thank you, great, thank you, Ny.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Pleasure, good night, six seven, two, four, ten thirty. We're
gonna go next. I want to go to to Dan
up in Hampton, New Hampshire. Dan, you were next on
the nightside. Your thoughts on what went on tonight around
the country and a couple of really important states.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Well, Dan, I don't believe the biggest story of the
night has has happened yet. The biggest story is going
to be California with they're gonna go forth sev yes
on redistrict and that's and that's gonna be the story
of tonight.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, those polls are just closing out there, so maybe
we'll get a little result on that. I don't know
what the I got to look up the California aggressional delegation.
That's a pretty gerrymandard state right now. And if you
if you move you know, communities that are Democratic into
(09:13):
some district and you're going to pick up a Democratic seat,
you might then have the other other reaction. It's awfully
tough to to do it successfully. Let me put it
like that. You know, there's it's not as if you
can create voters. You have to take a town which
(09:36):
is overwhelmingly Democratic, moving into a state that is a
type Republican district, but then you've moved some voters out
of a different state, different state. There are there are
forty three Democrats and nine Republicans in the House, so
the most seats the Democrats can pick up are nine.
And it's probably when you realize that in California it's
(09:58):
a forty three to nine split. That means that's that's
the Democrats already control eighty percent of the seats.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You know, I don't know that they can that they
that they have the numbers to do much more. That
they've done a real good job. Jerremandy California already.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Well, I'm gonna say this, Stan, it shouldn't be done
at all. You're right, go by it should go by
the sense of every ten years, and that's how it
should go. The Trump But Trump's out of this. He
did it in Texas. Gavin Newsom said, we gotta fight
fire with fire, and that's why I'm doing it.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Well, that's fine. Again, Texas has been an overwhelmingly Republican state.
They have the same problem. They might think that they're
going to pick up states, they might diss seats. Again,
what I'm saying is, you have so many voters that
tend to be Democratic and so many tend to be Republican.
In a fear state, you should have a representation of
(11:02):
some sort. We're pretty gerry mandard in Massachusetts when you
think about it. Have you looked at our districts in Massachusetts.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
I would imagine outside of the four ninety five card
of if you get on the mass Spike and I've
been out in that area, and I believe most of
that area is Republican. But it's a population and I
could be wrong. That's my opinion from what I've seen.
So I think that's where you have your Republicans is
(11:31):
out there. Am I not right?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
No? You have Republicans in the center of the state,
Worcester County and also down on the Cape, and we
have we have nine House seats. They're all Democrats. And
that's it is.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It is Massachusetts and under saying that, but but it's
not as if if if if let us say right now,
in Massachusetts, the Democrats, I think of about thirty two
percent registered Democratic, there's about eight or so percent that
are that are registered Republican.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And then there's a large swath of independent voters people
who are not either.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
New Hampshire as well.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, yeah, well New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a tougher
state to Jerryman because there's only two districts.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
No, you can't know. I'm talking about more people registered
as independent than Republican Democrats.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, and again, over time we'll say and if if
any party, whether it's Republicans in Texas or Democrats in California,
abuse the process and people understand that they're playing games
that can go back to haunt the Republicans in Texas
and the Democrats in California.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Ironically, well no, because the Democrats wouldn't have done it
if Trump didn't start it. Dan, I'm saying that's the fact.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What I'm saying to you is that whoever does it, Okay,
two wrongs don't make a right. You and I both
know that our mothers told us that. All I'm saying
is that if you understand what I'm saying, if you
have your voters in the state, and you start to
move some of your voters into another district to pick
(13:19):
up that district because your voters. You then have moved
some of your voters out of a district, and if
you don't do it properly, it can backfire, is what
I'm trying to say to you. That's all I'm trying about.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
I totally agree, Dan, I'm just saying that's going to
be the big story of the night, I think. And
one other thing I'd like to say. You mentioned the
short attention span of the public, which is true, and
I said this back in January. I've been saying it
all along. I'm saying Trump is going to let things
bottom out this year. He's going to blame it all
(13:52):
on Biden and the Democrats, and then things will get
a little better next year. I mean, when I went
to the store today my Thanksgiving turkey, sixteen pound butter ball,
it was ninety one bucks. You know that's and that
was at the market basket up here.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
So you're paying okay, I was just trying to understand.
So you're paying about five dollars a pound?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Is that how the math would work out there? Or
six five and a half dollars a pound.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Oh I'm terrible at math.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
But yeah, Well, what would have you paid a year
ago for the same turkey? Is what I'm asking here,
because I don't It.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Was sixty bucks, So it's thirty bucks more than I
paid last year.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well again, those those those issues will have an impact. Again.
I take what you tell me as being exactly true.
I don't imagine you're trying to mislead me.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
I believe what you tell me.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
But what I can tell you is that there was
gas prices. Gas prices is something everybody who drives a
car can understand. What do you pay for gas? The
last time you filled up?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
It was fifty bucks to fill up my car last time?
You know what? I didn't even but I do go
to We have one station here in Hampton.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
How would you pay a gallon? How much you do that?
Speaker 7 (15:07):
It is full service, it's a little over three bucks.
I believe it was fifty bucks, but I filled up
my car again.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I don't care how big you are. I don't care
how much it costs you. You may be down to
fumes and you may have a twenty gallon tank in
your car, a gas tank in your car. If I
was at Victory Gas, which is on which I tell
people all the time, is on Route nine westbound just
over one twenty eight. Now you're up in Hampton, so
you're not going to drive down here, but I will
(15:37):
pay two. I think I paid two dollars and eighty
three cents on Sunday and I filled up on Sunday. Okay,
Oh no.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I don't think I paid under three bucks in a
long time.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
To him, well guess what, you hang on there and
you will be paying under three bucks in the next
three months, in the next to or few months.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Okay, Well, I want to say, I do go to
the one station town that has full service, because I
I that's job, you know, and people don't even remember
where guys to come out.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And yeah, well I, well.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
I pay a little more for that.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
But yeah again, Dan, Victory Gas where I go is
full service. Uh yeah, I paid two eighty three. The
guy who runs it is a great guy. Gary keeps
the price low and he does a great volume and
he's not looking to uh to take advantage of people.
He's consistently the lowest price in the Western in the
(16:28):
Western suburbs that I have found, and he's right on
Route nine. He could charge a lot more if he
wanted to, but he's a good guy and as a businessman,
he understands he has a good flow of customers. Anyway,
if you're ever in the area of Newton or Wellesley,
check out Victory Victory Patriot Gas. Excuse me, Patriot Patriot
Gas right on Route nine, very close to one eight Gold.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Okay, Gary, Gary, Okay, I will I'm going to do that, Harriet.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I'm going to not Harry Gary with a G.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Okay, I gotcha, gear right, Gray?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
All right, thanks Dad, talk to you, sir, Thank you?
All right? Good night, Rob. Why are you break here?
Have I do? I O kick? Take a quick break
back on Nightside after this we went too long? Go
ahead night Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
I'm Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Bounts it back. I gonna go to Carl in New York. Hey, Carl,
welcome to night Side. How are you, sir?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Nice to hear your voice again.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
We're over here sitting and listening to you actually on
the radio tonight.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
How about that? Where about to New York?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Are you?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I am about twenty miles north of Albany.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Okay, you're up by the Adirondacks, right, Are you getting
up to it? Yeah, classet and all of that. No quite,
not quite but not quite, but up in that area Saratoga.
Are you in Saratoga? Uh?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, close to Saratoga.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
All right, So what's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I think people have a very short memory when it
comes to the Democrats. I'm sixty five and I watch
them people sell my father's job to Mexico for five
dollars an hour, a very good paying job at a
forward plant. Okay, yep. The last generation or so of
our kids are miseducated and unskilled because they put in
that no child left behind and they just teach to
(18:19):
a test. The teachers aren't allowed to teach the kids
what they really need to know.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I have taught people people don't understand how the government runs.
I'm with you totally on all of everything you've said.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yeah, I was an East to ten years older and
you know nothing about nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah. Well, because if you taught that in public schools,
someone would object to it and say, you know that,
I mean, we shouldn't teach about Pearl Harbor because obviously
we were at fault that the Japanese attacked us, and
it would be unfair for us to teach about Pearl Harbor.
We shouldn't teach about nine to eleven because we were
(19:05):
horrible to Middle Eastern countries. We allowed the Shah to
take over in Iran. That's what they really believe, you
know that, right?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Oh yeah, that's what I'm That's what I'm saying. I
have to constantly tutor these kids just to keep them
up the grade level because they're not teaching them correctly
in school, and things that they should know about they
don't know about because they're not getting taught.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah. However, however, that makes that makes a wonderful potential
group of voters for Jorham in New York because they're
all going to get free buses. Everybody's going to have
a free car. They'll be free rent. We wanted to
pay anything for rent. And you just go down the
grocery store and you pick what you want. It's all free.
(19:49):
It's for me.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I had another thing. People call them and complain about
grocery prices. Trump thought that lowering the gas prices and
lown energy cross going to get prices down. These corporations
are not taking a hit in their pop and low
end their prices. They're not taking a hit in their
in their pocket. And then you got all these multinationals
like uh, all these it is German Trader Joe's is
(20:14):
owned by the brother of the person who owns all these.
You got Stopping Chop and Hannaford, which are Swiss companies.
White people aren't out in front of these grocery stores protesting.
They'll protest all sorts of craziness and things that are
all the way on the other side of the world,
but something that affects them. I just spent one hundred
(20:35):
need tonight and got nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, I hear you, I hear you.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I'm saying it's it's frustrating to me. I'm sixty five.
I remember the sixties and the seventies when the good
jobs were still around and people could afford vacations. And
you know what I mean, I had money, We never
lacked for anything. Those are such thing as food banks
and food pantries. Back then, they need them and there
should be no need for it now with the richest
country in the world, tell these people to stop spending
(21:03):
our money on bs. Well, what.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Surprised me about this snap story? We have seven million
people in Massachusetts. You're close to Massachusetts in eastern New York,
north of Albany. I didn't realize about one point two
I think it was. The number was one point two
million people in Massachusetts are on food assistance. Snap. That's
all we.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Should well again because a lot of it not counting
the immigrants, so I'm not telling anything about them right now,
but just the regular US citizens. We have raised a
generation of miseducated, unskilled workers. You cannot and this has
kept our wages down. You cannot afford to rap my
(21:51):
My niece has three children. Her husband makes like thirty
an hour, which is a good job, and they're barely
making it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Well.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Thirty thirty dollars an hour. Help me out on this
if I'm wrong, But thirty dollars an hour, he's going
to make about twelve thousand dollars a year, right, thirty?
No excuse me, no, no, no, no, no, no, my mistakes.
He's making twelve hundred a week, which works out to
about sixty five thousand dollars a year. What's he do?
(22:23):
What sort of work does he do?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
He works in a in a garbage to energy plant.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, does his wife work, No.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
No, she has a special needs style that gets in
trouble at school a lot, so she has to be
home in order to go get her. But his rent
is almost two thousand dollars, So that's almost two weeks
for it to pay just for rent the utilities here
in New York with National Grid, which is a whole
other subject I could get into or outrageous a month,
(22:53):
they're paying three four hundred dollars a month in the
winter for heat, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Plus they're going to do We're going to do a
lot on that this winter, I promise you that.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
And you know, well we call them national greed.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
There was ahead of National Grid here in Massachusetts. So
I dealt with a lot and she was really great
to deal with. And I'm going to try to get
back to some of these people and just you know,
get them on the air and talk to them and
explain to them that the other another.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
By the way, don't forget this card another there are
another multi national which we need to go against in
this country. We go after these people. You want to
do business in our country, lower your fricking paces.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, you know, you had the North American Free Trade
Alliance Free Trade Agreement, I should say that put together.
I hated that when it happened, and I think it's
been a disaster, and Trump is trying to turn that around,
so we'll see.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
I was actually at the protest against SNAPA in Washington, UC.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Good for you, Good, good for you. I was working
in television at the time, so I was not able
to engage in those sorts of activities. But I'm able
to talk about them now and just talk about them historically,
uh and honestly and tell you what I think, and
people have a chance to call up and disagree with me. Carl,
I wish you would call more often. You've been a
(24:31):
great car.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I know I call you once in a while.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Well, do me a favor. You reach a lot of
people tonight, Carl. Okay, And there's a lot of people
out there who are who are who are shaking their
head and agreeing with you. They hear me every night,
but I need to hear a wider variety of voices,
so please combine more often. I'm asking you to do that.
I mean that seriously, because there there's probably a thousand
(24:56):
people right now who are listening to you and having
the exact same thoughts as you, and until they heard
you tonight, they probably thought they were the only one
who thought like that. You've thrown out some really good ideas,
and I hope people are listening carefully, and I know
they are. You've You've done this country in immense good
by calling this program tonight.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
And all right, we'll talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I hope you talk to me more frequently and more often.
Thank you much, Thanks so much, Carl, have a great night.
I'm being a little redundant there, but I'm trying to
emphasize this that those of you who a lot of
people sit around in their homes at night and they
think to themselves that they're the only person who believes
something that's not true. We'll be back on Nightside. I
have gone a little bit longer than I should. Hear,
(25:42):
Carl was a really good caller. I only have one
line six one, seven, nine, three thirty call now. I
definitely will get you in before midnight. I have a
bunch of folks waiting. We're going to get to everybody.
Stay in the line. Coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
You're on Nightside with Dan Ray News Radio.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Just looking at some more of these results around the country. Uh,
and New New Jersey is is an interesting case. This
gentleman from New Jersey whose whose name is uh Ciderelli.
I actually he actually got less votes uh this this
(26:26):
time that he did four years ago. I just think
that the Republicans this, if this is not a very
clear wake up call to the Republicans, then they are
that they're they're missing the bells. Let's go to phones,
going to go to Connor and hang them. I'm sorry, folks,
I have I've tarried too long with some of my listeners.
(26:46):
Go right up from my corner's corner. You're next nights,
I go right ahead, A Hi.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Dan.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
So obviously, the former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away today,
and you know, I think the guy was a real patriot,
really loved his country. I mean, there's a lot of
very very complicated choices he had to make, and you know,
unusual circumstances. But regardless of all that, I was wondering
(27:14):
what your take is on Donald Trump neglecting to make
any comments about his passing. And you know, he even
like went out of his way to state that they
were only lowering the flags because it was US policy.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, I think I think there's some bad blood there.
I was not a fan of Cheney. I will tell
you that honestly. I think that that he was somebody
who was inaccessible to the media. I had one experience
with him in New Hampshire in ninety six, which was
not pleasant. I think that he was he was not
(27:55):
somebody who you know, I like people, whether they Democrats
or Republicans. There were a lot of Democrats and Republicans
who I might disagree with, but I always thought about, well,
how do I feel about that person politically and when
I was covering them as a reporter, and how do
I feel about them personally? So there were people who
(28:18):
I disagreed with pers politically, but when I met them,
they were charming, and it made it easier to be
fear as a reporter to someone if you at least
like them personally. Cheney was someone who toyed with the
idea of running for president in nineteen ninety six, and
(28:39):
he was at an event in New Hampshire and we
just wanted to get him for like a minute or two,
just to ask him a couple of brief questions, as
we do with all of these candidates when they go
through New Hampshire. And I mean, he was just arrogant.
Now I am not happy to see him pass. I
feel badly for his family, but he was He was
(29:03):
a Darth Vader sort of character. I don't know what
made him tick. To be really honest with you, I've
had Don Rumsfeld on my show, who was a charming guy,
and he apparently was a close friend to Chaney, but
they were The vibe I got from Chaney was a
very different different than I got from Don Rumsfeld, although
I think that they both philosophically were joined at the hip.
(29:25):
And therefore I think that President Trump makes he diminishes
his stature by not saying, look, we lost an American
who happened to be a member of the same party
that I was. But but I disagreed with him, but
his service to the country needs to be honored. That's
I agree with you totally on that. But I will
(29:47):
also add that I think Cheney kind of came across
as a grumpy old person when he was in his
thirties and chief of staff of the White House.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Right, Yeah, No, I I completely understand that. I think
he did kind of like to lean into that caricature
of himself. But you know, I have some very liberal
friends you know today who are talking about how he's
like a sociopathic, blood thirsty, warmongerer, et cetera, all that
(30:19):
kind of stuff. And I'm wondering, you know, outside of the.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
You know, personal like.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Finding him not a personable guy and just kind of arrogant,
you don't think he was actually like twistedly corrupt in
evil like some people make him out.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I don't. I think he made and and I think
that he made a lot of the policy in the
administration of Bush forty three. And a lot of those
policy mistakes might have been things that I would have
approved of at the time, but they turned out to
be a tactical errors. We we fought the war on Terror,
(30:59):
we spent twenty years, and we ended up with the
ridiculous withdrawal, and everybody who had their fingerprints on that,
Republicans and Democrats alike, you know, they didn't make right
They didn't make effective decisions, is all I'm saying. And
whether they were blinded by hatred for what had happened,
I get that. I'm not saying that I would have
(31:20):
done anything different. But in look, I looked back World
War Two. It took this country a little more than
three and a half years to finish World War Two,
to fight in Europe, to fight in Africa, and to
fight in China, Bournman, India after having been devastated by
Pearl Harbor. It took us twenty years to extricate ourselves
(31:44):
from the Middle East, and a lot of good people
lost their lives along the way. And it wasn't the
military that failed us. It was the politicians, Democrats and
Republicans who failed us.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
Yeah, no, I mean, I definitely understand that. I think
when you're not going up against nation states, though, when
you're going up against these insurgent groups that you know,
they what was the phrase that the Taliban or maybe
Al Kaid would say, like they have the clocks, we
have the time, as in, you know, whatever technological advance
(32:20):
the well.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
The Taliban can retreat into the hills and we couldn't
find them. And yeah, well, again, I'm not here to
diminish Dick Cheney or to diminish his his contribution to
the country. But I and I think Donald Trump made
a mistake today. I agree with you but at the
same time, Janney was not a character, and it's had
(32:44):
nothing to do with his party. In my opinion, it
had everything to do with his own demeanor. Uh. You know,
Jimmy Carter was a failed president, but he was beloved
for what he did post presidency. And you know, yeah,
so that's all. Thank you for raising is an issue
because it's an important issue to raise on a day
(33:05):
of many important issues. Carna, thank you much for the call.
Have you called me before? Is this your first time?
Speaker 9 (33:12):
I have called before? Yeah, a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
It's been a while, but give me a favorite call
more often. You were a challenging call, and I appreciate
challenging calls.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Thanks Card, Thank you, Dan, Thanks you.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Great night. We'll get to everyone, Jean, bj and Bernie
and we got room at six one seven, two four,
ten thirty for one and maybe one at six one seven.
Back on the night Side.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
The Boston City Council at Large elections seems to be over.
It looked as if the four incumbents uh Russy, Louis, Jean,
Aaron Murphy, Julia Mahea and Henry Santana have been re elected.
The gap between Santana and Frank Baker, who is fifth
right now, is about eight thousand votes, and that's a
(34:03):
lot of votes to make up. With a few votes
that are out there and no surprises in the city
council races, the incumbents all survived. As far as I
can tell, California looks as if you has voters by
about a sixty to forty margin have authorized the legislature
(34:24):
to redistrict away. Let's get going here and try to
get everybody in going to try to get as quick
as we can here. Let's go next to BJ and
act in BJ next on nights I go right.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Ahead, Yes, Dan, I called a few nights ago, and
you're only able to give me fifteen seconds because it
was at the end of your program.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Go right ahead, you gotta go fifteen seconds. Now, go
right ahead.
Speaker 11 (34:50):
I figure I called back.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Now.
Speaker 11 (34:51):
I tell you that the comment I made a few
nights ago you said was interest and I said that
cities and states in that are being federally defunded shouldn't
have to pay federal taxes.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
It's an interesting comment, not gonna happen, But that's Okay,
I mean, how are you gonna how are you gonna
make that happen?
Speaker 11 (35:17):
They obviously Congress would have to pass.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, Congress is gonna pass. So so they're gonna say, okay,
no taxes for any states that's this funded, so that defunded.
I guess every state would be defunded in some respect.
That means we'd get would have Congress is gonna vote
out taxes. I don't think so, but but they should
give it a shot. If you want make a suggestion,
(35:41):
who's your congressman out there and act? Then? Do you know?
Is probably I'm.
Speaker 11 (35:46):
Guessing senator one of the senators says Warren.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well, you got Warren and Market and the two senators.
I'm saying, how uh you know? Budgetary bills start in
the House. So whoever you're dougressmanns make that suggestion. But
that's not gonna happen. BJ. I mean, the government's not
gonna put itself out of business.
Speaker 11 (36:07):
Yeah, I imagine you're.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Probably right about that.
Speaker 11 (36:12):
One of the little hid that that you should know?
Did you know that? I actually this is what I
had heard.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I don't know the accuracy of that are.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Not Yeah, let's go it out there anyway.
Speaker 11 (36:24):
It turns out that it turns out that the Japanese
reason for Pearl Harbor is because one of our ships
had accidentally death charged the Japanese submarine.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, I had never heard that, but I'm certainly glad
to hear some An unfounded rumor is always welcome. It'll
be something people will talk about tomorrow. I know the
history of World War two pretty well. I've never heard
that theory. Who did you hear that from? BJ? Let
me ask you what par did you hear what? And
(37:00):
what drinking establishment was that offered to you? Seriously, come on,
don't you think we know about that? One? BJ? Thank
you much. I got two more. I'm going to try
to sneak in here. Okay, thank you much, Gene, And ever, Gene,
I only got a minute for you. I'm sorry you've
been waiting to go right ahead?
Speaker 12 (37:17):
All right? So, uh, okay, we can't afford food stamps
for people, but we are going to put in their planning,
to put in an early retirement incentive for state employees,
to pay them twenty thousand or ten thousand to leave.
And the other thing is it's in the news. You
can read about it and The Hell had a big
article too, you can google it. There was a press
(37:39):
release today saying that people who use heat pumps are
going to start getting a decreased rate of electric bills.
Isn't that nice?
Speaker 3 (37:46):
People who have I missed that gene people.
Speaker 12 (37:49):
Who have people are using heat pumps to heat their
homes instead of gas are going to get a lowered
rate on their electric bills starting November first through April thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Yeah, I'll look for that one in the Herald tomorrow.
That that's an interesting one too.
Speaker 12 (38:05):
I think the heat one is the press release in
the Governor's office. You can look it up in the
mass dot CoV the press office. And also, why are
we not paying air traffic controllers? Why are we not
paying federal workers? Why are they just with the magic
wand wanting to get rid of all federal workers? And
this is all wrong? This is what part of the
(38:25):
problem is.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Who's who's getting rid of the federal workers.
Speaker 12 (38:32):
Washington? Well, Donald Donald Trump doesn't want the federal workers.
He hasn't treated them very well some of them, and
they're not all I.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Do think we need. I do think we need air
traffic controllers. I would say that there may be some
federal workers that could be let go. Jobs could be
taken on me, but I think that we need the
air traffic controllers. Gine, I got to get one more
in here before the night.
Speaker 12 (38:55):
I have a good night.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Thank you, thank you very much. Have good suggestions, Joe Lynn, Joe,
you're gonna wrap the hour for us, Go ahead, Joe.
Speaker 8 (39:02):
Thank you very much. Dan. I'm disappointed in Month Month
whatever his name is, mont Tommy. I don't even know
if I'll vote again because if he is a true socialist,
it's going to be problems. So we just have to
hope and pray.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
I guess well, he's not going to have an impact
here in Massachusetts. He was elected tonight as the mayor
of New York. I think it will be a really
interesting social experiment for everybody who lives in New York.
I'm glad Yorky free that, and you're probably glad you
don't live in New York. And if anything, I think
(39:36):
he might become the face of the Democratic Party and
that might not help the governor.
Speaker 8 (39:42):
And what's her name wu I wish she had I
wish she was opposed, but she's apparently going to be
elected again, Well, no, Heally more Heally, Well, hey, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Heally will be opposed. Heally is up for election next year,
so she has She won't stand for election until November
twenty twenty six, and there are three Republicans running against her,
and she may have She's had some personnel problems with
the cocaine guy out in western Massachusetts. There's a lot
of issues that are swirling around more Heally, She's lost
(40:17):
a lot of cabinet members, etc. That mass Pak Pike deal.
We got lots to talk about, but not right now.
Jokecause I'm running out of time. Thank you man, talk
to you soon. Have a great night. Done for the night.
Everybody want to thank everyone who called, Whether you agreed
with me or not. I enjoyed talking to people who
agree or disagree. That's what makes this show different. I
will be on Facebook at nightside with Dan Ray in
(40:40):
just a moment. I'll thank Rob, I'll thank Marieder, I'll
thank everyone, and I will end as always, all dogs,
all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's what my
Charlie Ray is, who passed fifteen years ago in February.
That's where all your pets are who were passed. They
loved you and you love them. I do believe you'll
see them again, to see again Inmorre night. Have a
great Wednesday, every one. I'll be on night Side Facebook
with Dan Ray and just a couple of Minich
It's night time with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you Boston's radio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
We are talking about the election results around the country.
We still have to get the election results for you
from Boston, which I think is important. We know that
Michelle wou was running in effect well running unopposed. Tonight,
it appears that with where we got third of the
vote counted, she's got ninety percent. There were twenty two
(00:29):
hundred writing votes so far twenty she has only twenty
two thousand. It's going to be a really low voter
turnout in Boston amongst the city councilors at large. If
you're interested in that, it looks as if erin Murphy
my top the ticket. That's an interesting development. Ruzie Louis
(00:49):
Louis June is a second, Julia Mahea is third, Henry
Santana fourth. They would be the four at large members
unless Frank Baker can close a twenty vote gap here.
He's the only one who seems to have a chance
to break into the top four, but as some time
(01:10):
goes on, he's going to run out of places to
pick up vote. So we'll keep you in touch in Boston.
No surprises amongst the incumbent demo the incumbent city councilors,
and in the in the race to succeed Tanya Fernandez.
It is a kind of close race at this point.
We'll hold off on that one between Reverend Miniyard Culpeper
(01:35):
and Sayid coach Ahmed. That's it's it's still too close
to call. So anyway, let's get back to we were
going to finish up with Tom from Medway. Didn't want
to short change him. Tom, I got you back as
I promised, you go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Wells, as in any of these elections, it's the economy.
The economy, the economy. The economy has been horrible, seems
to be getting worse. I don't know how anybody, you know, seriously,
I don't know how anybody could be thinking about voting
for a Republican when it's become clear that they're going
to do exactly as Trump tells them to do.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Well, let me let me ask you a couple of questions. Tom,
Okay again, my job here is to is to probe
comments that people make. Okay, what are you paying for
gas these days? For gasoline?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, hold on a minute, though, what does what would
that matter? If I don't have a job to go to.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well again, you know, if if you get hit by
a train tomorrow won't matter either. By the way, but
what well I'm saying with unemployment ridingb do me a
favorite tom if you want, I'll give you thirty seconds.
You can make a speech you.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Want to do that, that would probably be easier.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Sure, give you thirty seconds. Go ahead, you got thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I just wanted to. I was basically just going to say,
with with such a bad economy, with people hurting, and
to be giving forty billion dollars of taxpayer money to
bail out Venezuela, what is that about?
Speaker 5 (02:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
People shouldn't have consequences, and I think that people have
woken up to that now. Thank you, have a good night.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yep, you did it in twenty two seconds. By the way,
no money was given to Venezuela. The only thing that
Trump has been doing to Venezuela is blowing their drug
boats out of the water. The forty million dollars that
you were talking about was given to Argentina. So it's
always good, you know, to know what you're talking about.
But feel free to call back. We'll have another good conversation.
(03:25):
Let me go to Gregory in Dorchester. Greg and Dorchester,
how are you tonight?
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Hey, Yeah, thank you for saving it. Frank cal You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Thank you for calling in.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Yeah, you gave me the news. I think when the
news I wanted about house to that large and sorry
to see my friend Bakery didn't make it. Frank, good friends.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, it's only about the numbers that I have out
of For some reason, the city of Boston has become
very slow in their numbers. Greg is so so ninety
four of two out of seventy five precincts. That's about
a third thirty four percent.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Baker is in fifth place, which doesn't work for him.
But Aaron Murphy has uh looks like she might top
the at large ballot, which which would be a feather
in her hat. You know, I got to tell you
I had talked to Frank Baker in July and I said, gee, Frank,
any night you want to come on the show, just
give me a call. He never called. So yeah, well,
(04:23):
I mean it's it's only an opportunity to h you
can buy they can buy radio advertising, or they could
come on as a guest. That I did like Frank
and I said, call me, you know whatever, you and
never never heard back from him. So I didn't want
to chase him. And if he if he doesn't make it,
a few votes here, a few votes they might have
helped him.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So just just a thought.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I tried to stay I try to stay away from
the city city council races because whenever you have one,
then you got to get two more and three and so.
But I know Frank, he's a very decent guy, and
he wanted he wanted to get back into office. And
who knows, depending upon what precincts out, he.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Might never get out.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Maybe you know, yeah he.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Might if he got some some good strongholds of his,
you know, Dorchester, in places like that, he might be five.
We'll say, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, yeah, Okay about the lecture itself about the Democrats
winning and uh, well, let's through the inflation though.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I mean Trump did say, you know when he on
that you would take inflation down the cost of living,
And then I said, god damn, you go to the
store today or you would try to get a small
shoulder or anything, or a piece of steak. He can't
afford it.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, Well, we're going in different grocery stores. I
think I go to market basket. And what the reason
I asked Tom about the price of gasoline? What are
you paying for gas?
Speaker 7 (05:55):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Greg? Are you still driving?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I don't drive.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, okay, you know, Okay, Well that's good you're not
driving that gas prices are down to abound three dollars. Okay,
those are very important. Uh, it's a very important price
of gas. You can talk to me, talk to me
about the price of this or the price of that,
but gasoline, whether it's diesel or whatever, that's what runs
(06:20):
the economy. And so everything that you and I buy
in a store gets transported there by a truck.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And so gas prices are down. That's a good thing.
There's no roaring inflation at this point. Inflation under Biden
was way up. Uh. When when Trump went into office,
they were saying, well, the price of eggs are incredible
and well, and they were the price of eggs are
now coming back down in the right direction. So you know,
again you have to be careful. And there's there's a
(06:48):
bunch of things, Greg, that I'm not buying in stores.
I used to love Pepperidge Farm, Chocolate.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Chica, the mac basket, to Davas's and then mew and
in the store and they can afford share, they pay
their their their help away, little more, little way more
than that stop shop and the sour markets of the places.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well again, I hope market Basket doesn't change with the
with the shift away from mister Dels. But look, that's
that's where I'll be in the next couple of days.
And I know what I want to buy there. I
know what I can get on the break there, and
then I remind there.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
To be honest, it's close to me, but there isn't
any move around there retail.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I hear you. I hear you. Well, Greg, you hang
in there, buddy, Okay. Yeah, it's always darkest.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Before I have some of it.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I had a bad summer.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
You help.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I'm sorry you did what I had.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
A bad bad somewhere. I know you probably heard about it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I am aware of it. I chatted with our with
a mutual friend of ours, and you lost your son
this summer, and yeah, tell you how much I heard that.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Yeah, when you were from the University of certainly massive
from Harbor.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Oh God, well, Frank, he was blessed to have had
you as a dad and you were blessed to have
had him as a sod.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yeah right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
And hopefully we believe that that you'll see him again,
if you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Yeah, all right, thank you, great, thank you, Ny.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Pleasure, good night, six seven, two, four, ten thirty. We're
gonna go next. I want to go to to Dan
up in Hampton, New Hampshire. Dan, you were next on
the nightside. Your thoughts on what went on tonight around
the country and a couple of really important states.
Speaker 7 (08:34):
Well, Dan, I don't believe the biggest story of the
night has has happened yet. The biggest story is going
to be California with they're gonna go forth sev yes
on redistrict and that's and that's gonna be the story
of tonight.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, those polls are just closing out there, so maybe
we'll get a little result on that. I don't know
what the I got to look up the California aggressional delegation.
That's a pretty gerrymandard state right now. And if you
if you move you know, communities that are Democratic into
(09:13):
some district and you're going to pick up a Democratic seat,
you might then have the other other reaction. It's awfully
tough to to do it successfully. Let me put it
like that. You know, there's it's not as if you
can create voters. You have to take a town which
(09:36):
is overwhelmingly Democratic, moving into a state that is a
type Republican district, but then you've moved some voters out
of a different state, different state. There are there are
forty three Democrats and nine Republicans in the House, so
the most seats the Democrats can pick up are nine.
And it's probably when you realize that in California it's
(09:58):
a forty three to nine split. That means that's that's
the Democrats already control eighty percent of the seats.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You know, I don't know that they can that they
that they have the numbers to do much more. That
they've done a real good job. Jerremandy California already.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Well, I'm gonna say this, Stan, it shouldn't be done
at all. You're right, go by it should go by
the sense of every ten years, and that's how it
should go. The Trump But Trump's out of this. He
did it in Texas. Gavin Newsom said, we gotta fight
fire with fire, and that's why I'm doing it.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Well, that's fine. Again, Texas has been an overwhelmingly Republican state.
They have the same problem. They might think that they're
going to pick up states, they might diss seats. Again,
what I'm saying is, you have so many voters that
tend to be Democratic and so many tend to be Republican.
In a fear state, you should have a representation of
(11:02):
some sort. We're pretty gerry mandard in Massachusetts when you
think about it. Have you looked at our districts in Massachusetts.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
I would imagine outside of the four ninety five card
of if you get on the mass Spike and I've
been out in that area, and I believe most of
that area is Republican. But it's a population and I
could be wrong. That's my opinion from what I've seen.
So I think that's where you have your Republicans is
(11:31):
out there. Am I not right?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
No? You have Republicans in the center of the state,
Worcester County and also down on the Cape, and we
have we have nine House seats. They're all Democrats. And
that's it is.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It is Massachusetts and under saying that, but but it's
not as if if if if let us say right now,
in Massachusetts, the Democrats, I think of about thirty two
percent registered Democratic, there's about eight or so percent that
are that are registered Republican.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
And then there's a large swath of independent voters people
who are not either.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
New Hampshire as well.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, yeah, well New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a tougher
state to Jerryman because there's only two districts.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
No, you can't know. I'm talking about more people registered
as independent than Republican Democrats.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, and again, over time we'll say and if if
any party, whether it's Republicans in Texas or Democrats in California,
abuse the process and people understand that they're playing games
that can go back to haunt the Republicans in Texas
and the Democrats in California.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Ironically, well no, because the Democrats wouldn't have done it
if Trump didn't start it. Dan, I'm saying that's the fact.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
What I'm saying to you is that whoever does it, Okay,
two wrongs don't make a right. You and I both
know that our mothers told us that. All I'm saying
is that if you understand what I'm saying, if you
have your voters in the state, and you start to
move some of your voters into another district to pick
(13:19):
up that district because your voters. You then have moved
some of your voters out of a district, and if
you don't do it properly, it can backfire, is what
I'm trying to say to you. That's all I'm trying about.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
I totally agree, Dan, I'm just saying that's going to
be the big story of the night, I think. And
one other thing I'd like to say. You mentioned the
short attention span of the public, which is true, and
I said this back in January. I've been saying it
all along. I'm saying Trump is going to let things
bottom out this year. He's going to blame it all
(13:52):
on Biden and the Democrats, and then things will get
a little better next year. I mean, when I went
to the store today my Thanksgiving turkey, sixteen pound butter ball,
it was ninety one bucks. You know that's and that
was at the market basket up here.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
So you're paying okay, I was just trying to understand.
So you're paying about five dollars a pound?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Is that how the math would work out there? Or
six five and a half dollars a pound.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Oh I'm terrible at math.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
But yeah, Well, what would have you paid a year
ago for the same turkey? Is what I'm asking here,
because I don't It.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Was sixty bucks, So it's thirty bucks more than I
paid last year.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well again, those those those issues will have an impact. Again.
I take what you tell me as being exactly true.
I don't imagine you're trying to mislead me.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
I believe what you tell me.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
But what I can tell you is that there was
gas prices. Gas prices is something everybody who drives a
car can understand. What do you pay for gas? The
last time you filled up?
Speaker 7 (14:58):
It was fifty bucks to fill up my car last time?
You know what? I didn't even but I do go
to We have one station here in Hampton.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
How would you pay a gallon? How much you do that?
Speaker 7 (15:07):
It is full service, it's a little over three bucks.
I believe it was fifty bucks, but I filled up
my car again.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
I don't care how big you are. I don't care
how much it costs you. You may be down to
fumes and you may have a twenty gallon tank in
your car, a gas tank in your car. If I
was at Victory Gas, which is on which I tell
people all the time, is on Route nine westbound just
over one twenty eight. Now you're up in Hampton, so
you're not going to drive down here, but I will
(15:37):
pay two. I think I paid two dollars and eighty
three cents on Sunday and I filled up on Sunday. Okay,
Oh no.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
I don't think I paid under three bucks in a
long time.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
To him, well guess what, you hang on there and
you will be paying under three bucks in the next
three months, in the next to or few months.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
Okay, Well, I want to say, I do go to
the one station town that has full service, because I
I that's job, you know, and people don't even remember
where guys to come out.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And yeah, well I, well.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
I pay a little more for that.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
But yeah again, Dan, Victory Gas where I go is
full service. Uh yeah, I paid two eighty three. The
guy who runs it is a great guy. Gary keeps
the price low and he does a great volume and
he's not looking to uh to take advantage of people.
He's consistently the lowest price in the Western in the
(16:28):
Western suburbs that I have found, and he's right on
Route nine. He could charge a lot more if he
wanted to, but he's a good guy and as a businessman,
he understands he has a good flow of customers. Anyway,
if you're ever in the area of Newton or Wellesley,
check out Victory Victory Patriot Gas. Excuse me, Patriot Patriot
Gas right on Route nine, very close to one eight Gold.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Okay, Gary, Gary, Okay, I will I'm going to do that, Harriet.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
I'm going to not Harry Gary with a G.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Okay, I gotcha, gear right, Gray?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
All right, thanks Dad, talk to you, sir, Thank you?
All right? Good night, Rob. Why are you break here?
Have I do? I O kick? Take a quick break
back on Nightside after this we went too long? Go
ahead night Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
I'm Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Bounts it back. I gonna go to Carl in New York. Hey, Carl,
welcome to night Side. How are you, sir?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Nice to hear your voice again.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
Dan.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
We're over here sitting and listening to you actually on
the radio tonight.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
How about that? Where about to New York?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Are you?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I am about twenty miles north of Albany.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Okay, you're up by the Adirondacks, right, Are you getting
up to it? Yeah, classet and all of that. No quite,
not quite but not quite, but up in that area Saratoga.
Are you in Saratoga? Uh?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, close to Saratoga.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
All right, So what's on your mind tonight?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I think people have a very short memory when it
comes to the Democrats. I'm sixty five and I watch
them people sell my father's job to Mexico for five
dollars an hour, a very good paying job at a
forward plant. Okay, yep. The last generation or so of
our kids are miseducated and unskilled because they put in
that no child left behind and they just teach to
(18:19):
a test. The teachers aren't allowed to teach the kids
what they really need to know.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I have taught people people don't understand how the government runs.
I'm with you totally on all of everything you've said.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yeah, I was an East to ten years older and
you know nothing about nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah. Well, because if you taught that in public schools,
someone would object to it and say, you know that,
I mean, we shouldn't teach about Pearl Harbor because obviously
we were at fault that the Japanese attacked us, and
it would be unfair for us to teach about Pearl Harbor.
We shouldn't teach about nine to eleven because we were
(19:05):
horrible to Middle Eastern countries. We allowed the Shah to
take over in Iran. That's what they really believe, you
know that, right?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Oh yeah, that's what I'm That's what I'm saying. I
have to constantly tutor these kids just to keep them
up the grade level because they're not teaching them correctly
in school, and things that they should know about they
don't know about because they're not getting taught.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah. However, however, that makes that makes a wonderful potential
group of voters for Jorham in New York because they're
all going to get free buses. Everybody's going to have
a free car. They'll be free rent. We wanted to
pay anything for rent. And you just go down the
grocery store and you pick what you want. It's all free.
(19:49):
It's for me.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I had another thing. People call them and complain about
grocery prices. Trump thought that lowering the gas prices and
lown energy cross going to get prices down. These corporations
are not taking a hit in their pop and low
end their prices. They're not taking a hit in their
in their pocket. And then you got all these multinationals
like uh, all these it is German Trader Joe's is
(20:14):
owned by the brother of the person who owns all these.
You got Stopping Chop and Hannaford, which are Swiss companies.
White people aren't out in front of these grocery stores protesting.
They'll protest all sorts of craziness and things that are
all the way on the other side of the world,
but something that affects them. I just spent one hundred
(20:35):
need tonight and got nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, I hear you, I hear you.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
I'm saying it's it's frustrating to me. I'm sixty five.
I remember the sixties and the seventies when the good
jobs were still around and people could afford vacations. And
you know what I mean, I had money, We never
lacked for anything. Those are such thing as food banks
and food pantries. Back then, they need them and there
should be no need for it now with the richest
country in the world, tell these people to stop spending
(21:03):
our money on bs. Well, what.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Surprised me about this snap story? We have seven million
people in Massachusetts. You're close to Massachusetts in eastern New York,
north of Albany. I didn't realize about one point two
I think it was. The number was one point two
million people in Massachusetts are on food assistance. Snap. That's
all we.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Should well again because a lot of it not counting
the immigrants, so I'm not telling anything about them right now,
but just the regular US citizens. We have raised a
generation of miseducated, unskilled workers. You cannot and this has
kept our wages down. You cannot afford to rap my
(21:51):
My niece has three children. Her husband makes like thirty
an hour, which is a good job, and they're barely
making it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Well.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Thirty thirty dollars an hour. Help me out on this
if I'm wrong, But thirty dollars an hour, he's going
to make about twelve thousand dollars a year, right, thirty?
No excuse me, no, no, no, no, no, no, my mistakes.
He's making twelve hundred a week, which works out to
about sixty five thousand dollars a year. What's he do?
(22:23):
What sort of work does he do?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
He works in a in a garbage to energy plant.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, does his wife work, No.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
No, she has a special needs style that gets in
trouble at school a lot, so she has to be
home in order to go get her. But his rent
is almost two thousand dollars, So that's almost two weeks
for it to pay just for rent the utilities here
in New York with National Grid, which is a whole
other subject I could get into or outrageous a month,
(22:53):
they're paying three four hundred dollars a month in the
winter for heat, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Plus they're going to do We're going to do a
lot on that this winter, I promise you that.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
And you know, well we call them national greed.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
There was ahead of National Grid here in Massachusetts. So
I dealt with a lot and she was really great
to deal with. And I'm going to try to get
back to some of these people and just you know,
get them on the air and talk to them and
explain to them that the other another.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
By the way, don't forget this card another there are
another multi national which we need to go against in
this country. We go after these people. You want to
do business in our country, lower your fricking paces.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well, you know, you had the North American Free Trade
Alliance Free Trade Agreement, I should say that put together.
I hated that when it happened, and I think it's
been a disaster, and Trump is trying to turn that around,
so we'll see.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
I was actually at the protest against SNAPA in Washington, UC.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Good for you, Good, good for you. I was working
in television at the time, so I was not able
to engage in those sorts of activities. But I'm able
to talk about them now and just talk about them historically,
uh and honestly and tell you what I think, and
people have a chance to call up and disagree with me. Carl,
I wish you would call more often. You've been a
(24:31):
great car.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I know I call you once in a while.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Well, do me a favor. You reach a lot of
people tonight, Carl. Okay, And there's a lot of people
out there who are who are who are shaking their
head and agreeing with you. They hear me every night,
but I need to hear a wider variety of voices,
so please combine more often. I'm asking you to do that.
I mean that seriously, because there there's probably a thousand
(24:56):
people right now who are listening to you and having
the exact same thoughts as you, and until they heard
you tonight, they probably thought they were the only one
who thought like that. You've thrown out some really good ideas,
and I hope people are listening carefully, and I know
they are. You've You've done this country in immense good
by calling this program tonight.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
And all right, we'll talk to you again.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I hope you talk to me more frequently and more often.
Thank you much, Thanks so much, Carl, have a great night.
I'm being a little redundant there, but I'm trying to
emphasize this that those of you who a lot of
people sit around in their homes at night and they
think to themselves that they're the only person who believes
something that's not true. We'll be back on Nightside. I
have gone a little bit longer than I should. Hear,
(25:42):
Carl was a really good caller. I only have one
line six one, seven, nine, three thirty call now. I
definitely will get you in before midnight. I have a
bunch of folks waiting. We're going to get to everybody.
Stay in the line. Coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
You're on Nightside with Dan Ray News Radio.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Just looking at some more of these results around the country. Uh,
and New New Jersey is is an interesting case. This
gentleman from New Jersey whose whose name is uh Ciderelli.
I actually he actually got less votes uh this this
(26:26):
time that he did four years ago. I just think
that the Republicans this, if this is not a very
clear wake up call to the Republicans, then they are
that they're they're missing the bells. Let's go to phones,
going to go to Connor and hang them. I'm sorry, folks,
I have I've tarried too long with some of my listeners.
(26:46):
Go right up from my corner's corner. You're next nights,
I go right ahead, A Hi.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Dan.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
So obviously, the former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away today,
and you know, I think the guy was a real patriot,
really loved his country. I mean, there's a lot of
very very complicated choices he had to make, and you know,
unusual circumstances. But regardless of all that, I was wondering
(27:14):
what your take is on Donald Trump neglecting to make
any comments about his passing. And you know, he even
like went out of his way to state that they
were only lowering the flags because it was US policy.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, I think I think there's some bad blood there.
I was not a fan of Cheney. I will tell
you that honestly. I think that that he was somebody
who was inaccessible to the media. I had one experience
with him in New Hampshire in ninety six, which was
not pleasant. I think that he was he was not
(27:55):
somebody who you know, I like people, whether they Democrats
or Republicans. There were a lot of Democrats and Republicans
who I might disagree with, but I always thought about, well,
how do I feel about that person politically and when
I was covering them as a reporter, and how do
I feel about them personally? So there were people who
(28:18):
I disagreed with pers politically, but when I met them,
they were charming, and it made it easier to be
fear as a reporter to someone if you at least
like them personally. Cheney was someone who toyed with the
idea of running for president in nineteen ninety six, and
(28:39):
he was at an event in New Hampshire and we
just wanted to get him for like a minute or two,
just to ask him a couple of brief questions, as
we do with all of these candidates when they go
through New Hampshire. And I mean, he was just arrogant.
Now I am not happy to see him pass. I
feel badly for his family, but he was He was
(29:03):
a Darth Vader sort of character. I don't know what
made him tick. To be really honest with you, I've
had Don Rumsfeld on my show, who was a charming guy,
and he apparently was a close friend to Chaney, but
they were The vibe I got from Chaney was a
very different different than I got from Don Rumsfeld, although
I think that they both philosophically were joined at the hip.
(29:25):
And therefore I think that President Trump makes he diminishes
his stature by not saying, look, we lost an American
who happened to be a member of the same party
that I was. But but I disagreed with him, but
his service to the country needs to be honored. That's
I agree with you totally on that. But I will
(29:47):
also add that I think Cheney kind of came across
as a grumpy old person when he was in his
thirties and chief of staff of the White House.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
Right, Yeah, No, I I completely understand that. I think
he did kind of like to lean into that caricature
of himself. But you know, I have some very liberal
friends you know today who are talking about how he's
like a sociopathic, blood thirsty, warmongerer, et cetera, all that
(30:19):
kind of stuff. And I'm wondering, you know, outside of the.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
You know, personal like.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Finding him not a personable guy and just kind of arrogant,
you don't think he was actually like twistedly corrupt in
evil like some people make him out.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I don't. I think he made and and I think
that he made a lot of the policy in the
administration of Bush forty three. And a lot of those
policy mistakes might have been things that I would have
approved of at the time, but they turned out to
be a tactical errors. We we fought the war on Terror,
(30:59):
we spent twenty years, and we ended up with the
ridiculous withdrawal, and everybody who had their fingerprints on that,
Republicans and Democrats alike, you know, they didn't make right
They didn't make effective decisions, is all I'm saying. And
whether they were blinded by hatred for what had happened,
I get that. I'm not saying that I would have
(31:20):
done anything different. But in look, I looked back World
War Two. It took this country a little more than
three and a half years to finish World War Two,
to fight in Europe, to fight in Africa, and to
fight in China, Bournman, India after having been devastated by
Pearl Harbor. It took us twenty years to extricate ourselves
(31:44):
from the Middle East, and a lot of good people
lost their lives along the way. And it wasn't the
military that failed us. It was the politicians, Democrats and
Republicans who failed us.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
Yeah, no, I mean, I definitely understand that. I think
when you're not going up against nation states, though, when
you're going up against these insurgent groups that you know,
they what was the phrase that the Taliban or maybe
Al Kaid would say, like they have the clocks, we
have the time, as in, you know, whatever technological advance
(32:20):
the well.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
The Taliban can retreat into the hills and we couldn't
find them. And yeah, well, again, I'm not here to
diminish Dick Cheney or to diminish his his contribution to
the country. But I and I think Donald Trump made
a mistake today. I agree with you but at the
same time, Janney was not a character, and it's had
(32:44):
nothing to do with his party. In my opinion, it
had everything to do with his own demeanor. Uh. You know,
Jimmy Carter was a failed president, but he was beloved
for what he did post presidency. And you know, yeah,
so that's all. Thank you for raising is an issue
because it's an important issue to raise on a day
(33:05):
of many important issues. Carna, thank you much for the call.
Have you called me before? Is this your first time?
Speaker 9 (33:12):
I have called before? Yeah, a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
It's been a while, but give me a favorite call
more often. You were a challenging call, and I appreciate
challenging calls.
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Thanks Card, Thank you, Dan, Thanks you.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Great night. We'll get to everyone, Jean, bj and Bernie
and we got room at six one seven, two four,
ten thirty for one and maybe one at six one seven.
Back on the night Side.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
The Boston City Council at Large elections seems to be over.
It looked as if the four incumbents uh Russy, Louis, Jean,
Aaron Murphy, Julia Mahea and Henry Santana have been re elected.
The gap between Santana and Frank Baker, who is fifth
right now, is about eight thousand votes, and that's a
(34:03):
lot of votes to make up. With a few votes
that are out there and no surprises in the city
council races, the incumbents all survived. As far as I
can tell, California looks as if you has voters by
about a sixty to forty margin have authorized the legislature
(34:24):
to redistrict away. Let's get going here and try to
get everybody in going to try to get as quick
as we can here. Let's go next to BJ and
act in BJ next on nights I go right.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
Ahead, Yes, Dan, I called a few nights ago, and
you're only able to give me fifteen seconds because it
was at the end of your program.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Go right ahead, you gotta go fifteen seconds. Now, go
right ahead.
Speaker 11 (34:50):
I figure I called back.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Now.
Speaker 11 (34:51):
I tell you that the comment I made a few
nights ago you said was interest and I said that
cities and states in that are being federally defunded shouldn't
have to pay federal taxes.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
It's an interesting comment, not gonna happen, But that's Okay,
I mean, how are you gonna how are you gonna
make that happen?
Speaker 11 (35:17):
They obviously Congress would have to pass.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, Congress is gonna pass. So so they're gonna say, okay,
no taxes for any states that's this funded, so that defunded.
I guess every state would be defunded in some respect.
That means we'd get would have Congress is gonna vote
out taxes. I don't think so, but but they should
give it a shot. If you want make a suggestion,
(35:41):
who's your congressman out there and act? Then? Do you know?
Is probably I'm.
Speaker 11 (35:46):
Guessing senator one of the senators says Warren.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Well, you got Warren and Market and the two senators.
I'm saying, how uh you know? Budgetary bills start in
the House. So whoever you're dougressmanns make that suggestion. But
that's not gonna happen. BJ. I mean, the government's not
gonna put itself out of business.
Speaker 11 (36:07):
Yeah, I imagine you're.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Probably right about that.
Speaker 11 (36:12):
One of the little hid that that you should know?
Did you know that? I actually this is what I
had heard.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
I don't know the accuracy of that are.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Not Yeah, let's go it out there anyway.
Speaker 11 (36:24):
It turns out that it turns out that the Japanese
reason for Pearl Harbor is because one of our ships
had accidentally death charged the Japanese submarine.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, I had never heard that, but I'm certainly glad
to hear some An unfounded rumor is always welcome. It'll
be something people will talk about tomorrow. I know the
history of World War two pretty well. I've never heard
that theory. Who did you hear that from? BJ? Let
me ask you what par did you hear what? And
(37:00):
what drinking establishment was that offered to you? Seriously, come on,
don't you think we know about that? One? BJ? Thank
you much. I got two more. I'm going to try
to sneak in here. Okay, thank you much, Gene, And ever, Gene,
I only got a minute for you. I'm sorry you've
been waiting to go right ahead?
Speaker 12 (37:17):
All right? So, uh, okay, we can't afford food stamps
for people, but we are going to put in their planning,
to put in an early retirement incentive for state employees,
to pay them twenty thousand or ten thousand to leave.
And the other thing is it's in the news. You
can read about it and The Hell had a big
article too, you can google it. There was a press
(37:39):
release today saying that people who use heat pumps are
going to start getting a decreased rate of electric bills.
Isn't that nice?
Speaker 3 (37:46):
People who have I missed that gene people.
Speaker 12 (37:49):
Who have people are using heat pumps to heat their
homes instead of gas are going to get a lowered
rate on their electric bills starting November first through April thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Yeah, I'll look for that one in the Herald tomorrow.
That that's an interesting one too.
Speaker 12 (38:05):
I think the heat one is the press release in
the Governor's office. You can look it up in the
mass dot CoV the press office. And also, why are
we not paying air traffic controllers? Why are we not
paying federal workers? Why are they just with the magic
wand wanting to get rid of all federal workers? And
this is all wrong? This is what part of the
(38:25):
problem is.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Who's who's getting rid of the federal workers.
Speaker 12 (38:32):
Washington? Well, Donald Donald Trump doesn't want the federal workers.
He hasn't treated them very well some of them, and
they're not all I.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Do think we need. I do think we need air
traffic controllers. I would say that there may be some
federal workers that could be let go. Jobs could be
taken on me, but I think that we need the
air traffic controllers. Gine, I got to get one more
in here before the night.
Speaker 12 (38:55):
I have a good night.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Thank you, thank you very much. Have good suggestions, Joe Lynn, Joe,
you're gonna wrap the hour for us, Go ahead, Joe.
Speaker 8 (39:02):
Thank you very much. Dan. I'm disappointed in Month Month
whatever his name is, mont Tommy. I don't even know
if I'll vote again because if he is a true socialist,
it's going to be problems. So we just have to
hope and pray.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
I guess well, he's not going to have an impact
here in Massachusetts. He was elected tonight as the mayor
of New York. I think it will be a really
interesting social experiment for everybody who lives in New York.
I'm glad Yorky free that, and you're probably glad you
don't live in New York. And if anything, I think
(39:36):
he might become the face of the Democratic Party and
that might not help the governor.
Speaker 8 (39:42):
And what's her name wu I wish she had I
wish she was opposed, but she's apparently going to be
elected again, Well, no, Heally more Heally, Well, hey, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Heally will be opposed. Heally is up for election next year,
so she has She won't stand for election until November
twenty twenty six, and there are three Republicans running against her,
and she may have She's had some personnel problems with
the cocaine guy out in western Massachusetts. There's a lot
of issues that are swirling around more Heally, She's lost
(40:17):
a lot of cabinet members, etc. That mass Pak Pike deal.
We got lots to talk about, but not right now.
