Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nice.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
All right, hour number four coming up here on a
Thursday night. By the way, tomorrow night, we will have
as a special guest at ten o'clock tomorrow night, former
Boston Police commissioner, former New York Police commissioner, and former
chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, Bill Bratton. And
(00:27):
Bratton is in Boston for a meeting of police chiefs
from around the country, and we're going to talk with
him about not only presidential security, but also what he
knows about efforts by foreign power is specifically Iran to
(00:47):
assassinate American political leaders of both Democratic and Republican of
past administrations. So there's a lot going on. We're entering
the final stretch. We're within twenty days of November fifth,
and one of the things that I'm concerned about is
that there is an acceptance of whatever the results of
(01:11):
the election are on November fifth, because as a country,
I don't think we can go through the trauma and
all of which was involved after twenty twenty. So I'm
hoping for a decisive campaign on whichever candidate wins, that
it is a clear and convincing win, so that yeah,
(01:34):
there'll be some people on each side who will not
accept the results. But I think it's important for us
to get past this situation and restore our faith in
our systems. So I want to talk about last night.
Did any of you see the interview that Vice President
Harris did on Fox. I thought that that was a
(01:59):
brilliant strike, a brilliant effort by her campaign to go
on to Fox because she has not done many interviews
with any She hasn't done much with the major networks ABC,
NBC and CBS, which I think would be probably a
lot friendly. Oh, she's been on the View, I guess.
(02:22):
And she did Howard Stern, and she was on with
Stephen Colbert, and I'm sure at some point she'll be
on with Jimmy Kimmel. She was on with Charlemagne de God.
She was on with a couple of podcasts. One was
with a couple of I think x NBA players, and
I think that they have a podcast which talks about
(02:44):
lifestyle and all of that. So she decided to accept that.
I'm sure this was negotiated with with Fox, and Brett
Bear was her interviewer, And of all the people on Fox,
I think Brett Behar is the fairest, So I think
(03:06):
that that was an opportunity. But I thought her performance
last night was abysmal, And if you disagree with me,
feel free to bring me back off the edge here.
I thought she was unresponsive to questions. I thought that
she tried to fill a buster. And I want to
(03:26):
play a couple of sound bites and get your reaction
to them. I assume you probably have seen them, but
I got to play the longer versions. So nothing well,
no one can accuse us of being out of contact.
So this is cut number one. The question here is
that deals with sort of the right track wrong track question,
(03:49):
and the statistic that is quoted by the Fox host
is that seventy percent of Americans say the country is
on the wrong track. And let's see how this question
goes for the Vice president cut number one, Please.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Rob, people tell the country is on the wrong track.
They say the country is on the wrong track. If
it's on the wrong track, that track follows three and
a half years of you being vice president and President
Biden being president. That is what they're saying, seventy nine
percent of them. Why are they saying that? If you're
turning the page, you've been in office for three and a.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Half years, and Donald Trump has been running for office,
but you've been the person home on office a lot.
And I both know what I'm talking about. You and
I both know what I'm actually what are you talking about?
What I'm talking about is that over the last decade,
people have the power. But listen.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, it's like, tell us what you're talking about. Don't
make us guess, so we could they continue to this conversation.
This has cut one a This is an extension of
that that that issue, this conver station.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Over the last decade. It is clear to me and
certainly the Republicans who are on stage with me, the
former chief of staff to the President Donald Trump, former
defense secretaries, national security advisor, and his vice president one,
that he is unfit to serve, that he is unstable,
(05:21):
that he is dangerous, and that people are exhausted with
someone who professes to be a leader who spends full
time demeaning and engaging in personal grievances and it being
about him instead for the American people. People aren't tired
of that.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Now. Again, I thought that she was given opportunity to
say what she wanted to say, But I don't know
she's responsive to the responsive to the questions. Will finish
up this segment of questions with cut one B, which
is again the continuation of that portion of the conversation
about if the country's on the wrong track, what are
(06:03):
you attorney?
Speaker 6 (06:03):
The page from that's the case.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Why is half the country supporting him? Why is he
beating you in a lot of swing states. Why if
he's as bad as you say that half of this
country is now supporting this person who could be the
forty seventh president of the United States.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Why is that happening? This is an election for president
of the United States. It's not supposed to be easy,
I know, but it's not supposed to be It is
not supposed to be misguided. Are they stupid that I
would never say that about the American people? And in fact,
if you listen to Donald Trump, if you watch any
(06:39):
of his rallies, he's the one who tends to demean
and belittle and diminish the American people. He's the one
who talks about an enemy within, an enemy within, talking
about the American people, suggesting he would turn the American
military on the American people.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
It's a lot about Donald Trump, and I'm not sure.
Maybe that's the best card she can play, but I'm
not sure. Okay, so let's go to This is the question,
which again is an interesting question about when did the
vice president realize that maybe President Biden had faltered. That's
(07:25):
a reasonable question. I think this is three A. Please
rob me ask.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You this interviewers, that Joe Biden was on his game
that ran around circles on his staff, when did you
first notice that President Biden's mental faculties appeared diminished?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Joe Biden. I have watched in from the Oval office
to the situation room, and he has the judgment and
the experiment and experienced to do exactly what he has
done and making very important decisions on behalf of the
American people. Joe Biden is not on ballot.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Again, the answer is not response to the question got
three B.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I understand Donald Trump, Donald Trump, but he talked about
it and Donald.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Trump George said within a few minutes of talking to
President Biden at a fundraiser that he thought this was
not the same Joe Biden that we saw on.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
The debate stage is on the ballot.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I understand you met with him at least once a
week for three and a half years, you didn't have
any concerns.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I think the American people have a concern about Donald Trump,
which is why the people who know him best, including
leaders of our national security community, have all spoken out.
Even people who worked for him in the Oval Office,
worked with him in the situation room, and have said
he is unfit and dangerous and should never be president
(08:59):
of the United State. It's again, including his former vice president,
which is why the job was open for him to
choose another running mate.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Okay, last cut in this area, Cut number four.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has
released into the country over the last three and a
half years.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration because
I agree with you. It is a topic of discussion
that people want to rightly have. And you know what
I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, but you're just a number.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Do you think it's one million, three million?
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Brett.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Let's just get to the point, Okay. The point is
that we have a broken immigration system that needs to
be repaired.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So your Homeland Security secretary said that eighty five percent
of apprehension.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'm not finished.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
We have a refreshment of six million people have been
released into the country, and let me just finish and
I'll get you the question.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I promise you I was beginning to answer, and.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Okay, all right, when I get back, I will I
will play for you what I considered to be the
two worst responses that Vice President Harris issued last night,
and this was one that really bothered me. Maybe it
bothers you. The only lines of the ropean right now
(10:28):
six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. Both of
those are full six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty.
If you saw the interview with Vice President Harris, it
was obviously a challenging interview, but I think it was
a professional interview, and I think that the Vice President
(10:49):
didn't help her standing. I don't think she helped her
standing with Fox viewers. I get that, but there's a
lot of independence who I think I think deserved more
from the Vice President yesterday. We'll take a break. I
got two more sound bites to play and then we're well,
we're going to go right to phones for the route
(11:09):
for the balance of the House. So if you want
a weigh in, now's the time to call. Take a
quick break. Coming back on night Side.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
All right, here is the final two questions that I
think the Vice President failed miserably on, to put it kindly, okay,
questions about Americans who were killed and a request for
an apology. She dutifully evades the why not apologize? Why
(11:51):
she's going to talk about sympathy and how much she cares,
which is fine, But why not say I'm really sorry,
I'm really so, and I apologize to that family, and
if our decisions had anything to do with a sequence
of events that led to the loss of your loved ones,
(12:11):
you have my deepest apologies. That's the answer, in my opinion.
We'll see. Let's go to cut number five. Rob Cut five.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Back to the original premise. Joscelyn Hungary, Rachel Morin, Lacln Riley.
They are young women who were brutally assaulted and killed
by some of the men who were released at the
beginning of the administration, well before a negotiated bipartisan bill.
Former President Clinton actually referred to Lake and Riley Sunday
campaigning for You and Georgia, saying, if those men had
(12:43):
been properly vetted, Lake and Riley probably would not have
been killed. So if it wouldn't have happened, this is
well before any negotiation. This is well before Donald Trump
got involved in the politics. This is a specific policy
decision by your administration to release these men into the country.
So what I'm saying to you, do you owe those
family really? I think an apology?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Let me just say, first of all, those are tragic cases.
There's no question about that. There's no question about that.
And I can't imagine the pain that the families of
those victims have experienced.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
No apology. Five B five be The conversation continues, and I.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Will let one of the mothers talk about it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Take a listen.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Because of the Biden Harris administration open border policies catch
and release, they were enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program.
This meant that they were released into the United States.
It was not even a full three weeks later that
they would take my daughter, Jocelyn Nungery's life. I believe
the Biden Harris administration open border policies are responsible for
(13:53):
the death of my daughter.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
That's the early days.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
So do you owe them an apologies?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I'll tell you that I am so sorry for her loss.
I'm so sorry for her loss, sincerely, But let's talk
about what is happening right now with an individual who
does not want to participate in solutions. Let's talk about
that as well. In all fairness, I told you I
(14:21):
feel awful, But.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
No apology, no apology? Why not, Madam Vice President? Why not?
She was trained to pivot from the question, always wants
to pivot. So now I want to get your reaction.
Some of you may felt that she did very well,
and she was in the lions den and she did
as well as she could. I don't share that point
(14:47):
of view, but I'd love to hear of yours if
you have that point of view. Mark and Gambridge. Mark
going to start us off this hour. First of all,
did you get a chance to watch that interview?
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I did.
Speaker 10 (14:57):
Dad.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
How you doing good evening, Ben, good evening.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh we're doing great, We're doing great. Thanks for calling in.
So what'd you think?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
I watched the debate on my phone, But I did
have I was standing job like you said, Kamala was
bobbing and weaving.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah yeah, and I I just don't know what they
expected for questions. All of the questions were predictable.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Yeah, you're right, I mean apology. I mean, I think
she should apologize to the family because all this happening
on her administration, her watch.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
By the way, that the woman who they who they utilized, uh,
that was a little twelve year old girl who.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Was murder Oh God, in Houston.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
In Houston, and those those illegals were arrested and are
facing murder charges. There are two guys from Venezuela. I
just don't know. I think the American people would have
said thank you. I mean, just obviously she's never going
to get the votes of that mother. I get that.
(16:08):
But she could have said, look, if there was anything
that we did or we failed to do that somehow
directly indirectly led to the murder of your daughter, you
have my personal apologies. That would have shut the Fox
guy down. But I didn't want to go there.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Didn't want to go there. I agree with you, Dan,
I agree with you, and also that I wanted to
say so. They did the interview with let Me See
and Channel with CBS.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I'm a Stephen Colbert where they drank a beer. You know,
I mean, you know, it's like, yeah, I I don't
know I mean, you know what, why not why not
sit down with some people from ABC, from NBC, from CBS. Uh.
And now I guess she used the one of sixty
(16:57):
minutes interview. Fine, let's see what let's see what sixty
men in it springs and and let's see if sixty minutes.
Lets her avoid answering questions and always bring it back
to I'm running against the bad Orange man.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
I agree with you, Dan. What I'm saying, Man, thank
you for taking my call again.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You know rock you welcome keep calling the show. Thank
you much, Yes, thank you soon you too. Let me
go to Dan and Hampton, New Hampshire. Dan, welcome you
in next time Nightside. You get a chance to watch
that interview or portions of it, I.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Did, Dan, But you were on the air. So are
you even aware of the way Fox presented that interview?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Well, I watched. No, the interview was done. It was
what's called alive to tape. And having been in the business,
I do know that the interview began at about five
point fifteen. I think it went about twenty five minutes.
Speaker 11 (17:54):
Okay, I want to get Okay, Dan, Fine, but.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
What I'm saying I did what I watched this, Dan,
to answer your question, I just want to make sure
whatever you throw hit me with. Whatever you got to
hit me with your best shot. I watched it because
it played at six o'clock, and it played unedited. It
was not lot. It was it had been done live
from five point fifteen to like twenty to twenty minutes
(18:17):
of six, and then they just turned it around and
played it as a as a taped live interview.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
But go ahead, okay.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
My impression was it was supposed to be on at
eight o'clock, So that's what That's what I turned it on. No,
I know, they take one sound bite she makes and
then they go back to the studio and they got
Trump Junior talking about what she's saying. Yeah, and they
continue to do that. You know, I turned it off
and discuss and decided to listen to you for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
No thank you, no thanks.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I thought of that.
Speaker 11 (18:48):
I thought she more I thought she more than held
her own. She said she was sorry, she said she
felt terrible. What happened. You don't know. I don't know.
Nobody knows that. Mother's convinced that it was a mistake
that Biden and Harris made this kind of thing has
been happening, that's been happening long before they were around,
(19:12):
So you know, it could have just wellness.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
In fairness, Dan, and I'm not looking. I really don't
want to debate you on this, but I will say
that they were about I think it was some figures
like ninety or so executive orders that Trump had implemented
that on the first day in office to buy the
Harris administration changed, and that the number of people coming
(19:35):
over the border increased dramatically. The estimates are I was
about eight point three million people so far. But here's
my question to you, Okay, and I suspect you're going
to give me an honest answer. Should have she just
looked in the camera and said to that mother, who
I'm sure is not going to support our campaign. I
want you to know. I want her to know that
(19:57):
she has my personal, heartfelt apology. There's nothing I can
say that will make her feel better. But why would
she not look in the camera and apologize to the moment.
Speaker 11 (20:08):
I kind of feel that that's exactly what she did.
I mean, is the word sorry no longer considered an apology.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Well, well, I'll give you an example. Let me let
me try to let me try to explain it, and
then you tell me why you and I live next
door to each other. Okay, And I back out of
my driveway one day and I bump in, I hit
your car and I do some damage to the car,
and you walk out the door and you look at
me say what the hell happened here? And I say,
(20:38):
oh G, I'm really sorry I hit your car? Now?
Is that okay? Or should I say, look, Dan, I apologize.
I didn't know you had parked the car there. It's
my fault, totally. I apologize, which would you prefer to hear.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
The ladder? However, that's all.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So we're talking about me up in your car, which
is probably covered by insurance, compared to a mom who
lost a twelve year old daughter who was viciously raped
and murdered allegedly by two people who should never have
been in this country.
Speaker 11 (21:12):
But again, you can't say that was her fault. She
can't sit there and take fault for something that may
not have been her fault at all. It's all she
could do is say how sorry she was, And she
said it. I thought very well.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
She could say if a plane crash just tomorrow and
a hundred people die in a plane crash. I could say,
I'm terribly sorry that that happened, but she had no
responsibility with the plane crash. But if they had not
loosened the border, I think that's what the mother was
looking for. But we could disagree to we get agree
to disagree. I understand your position. You feel that saying
(21:52):
sorry was adequate, Okay.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
And one other things quick Trump Trump being asked today
by a farmer supporter if he would take responsible some
responsibility for January sixth, he called it a day of love.
I'd love to see don Trump. I'd love to see
Donald Trump sit down for a half hour of somebody
(22:17):
like Nicole Wallace, got a feeling he do a lot.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
He sat down in fairness to Trump. And again, I
think that statement is a stupid, absurd statement. Okay, this
this no other way I could describe that. Uh, it
was not a day of love at all. It was
not a day of love at all. Okay. But yeah,
but that's not the first stupid or absurd statement Donald
Trump is made. As you know, he sat down.
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Is why he's avoiding all That's why he's avoiding all
these interviews and saying that you know the media is
all against me. See I can't do sixty minutes for
CBS is against me. This one's against me, that one's
against me. Give me a break. This man is totally unhinged,
and if you're going to vote for him, I don't.
I don't think you are. But I know a lot
(23:07):
of your listeners are. You're crazy and this country is
going to be in for a world of heart. I
guess that's you. Let me say what I want to say, Dan,
I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's what my show is all about. Thanks, Dan, appreciate you.
Cal have a good one to take a break with.
At the bottom of the hour. If you agree with Dan,
feel free. If you agree with Mark, feel free. We'll
be back on Nightside right after these few messages.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You're on Nightside with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Let's go back to the Phone's going to talk with
Xavier in Dorchester. Xavier, welcome to Nightside. Thanks for calling in.
Bring Xavier up for me. For some reason, mouse isn't
working here, rob.
Speaker 13 (23:55):
Hi, Xavier, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I think I'm second time, all right, Exavier, welcome back.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Yes, I just want to say one I want to
say a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
By the way, I missed, did you say first time
calling the second time?
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Second time?
Speaker 12 (24:13):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Okay? I I was afraid that I may be misunderstood. YEA, well,
welcome back. You can right ahead.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I was going to say one.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
One question, do Trump ever answer? Two? The interview was
not an interview, It was interrogation.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
I worked in a law enforcement It was an interrogation.
Speaker 13 (24:36):
It was the interview.
Speaker 10 (24:37):
Three. I thought she handled it very well and stuck
to her as they want to say her talking point
two fours. Then you do, then you don't, Then you do.
Speaker 13 (24:52):
Damn you don't.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Of course you're talking to like a bull Connor.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
And you old enough.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
Nobody say bull Connor.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
You old enough.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I have no idea where you're going to go with that.
I know who bull Connor was. You try there be
the bull Connor. You you know Connor.
Speaker 13 (25:10):
Did not not not you.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
I said my fault exam was bull Connor. Simple Dan
you are? I said, you are old enough to know
who bull Connor was.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Yeah, he was a racist sheriff who's sick uh German
shepherd dogs and civil rights marchers. So what does he
got to do with this? Conversation.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
That was an interrogation, interview.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I get, I understand that point. I disagree with that.
I'm a I'm a professional broadcaster, and I think that
Bear conducted himself very well. And I thought that the
Vice President missed opportunities after opportunities after opportunities to clarify
her positions.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
This probably where you and I. That's where you and
I respectfully disagree.
Speaker 14 (26:01):
That that's why people, you folks like you, joined the
That's that is why I invite Midnight.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, thank you very much for the conversation. It was
really delightful. Thank you, Exavier. Okay, that's fine. You know,
if if you don't have a conversation, that's fine, just
tell me. I'll give you, you know, whatever amount of
time you want, Will in Long Island, will your next
on Night Side?
Speaker 13 (26:28):
Oh man, Xavier. You know what if Bill car Bull
Carter was a Democrat, you'd probably vote for him, right
he was.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Bull Connor was a Democrat, by the way, it was Connor,
not Carter. Bull Connor was a Democrat.
Speaker 13 (26:41):
Ad just like just like Governor Wallace.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Got the Governor Maddocks and and Lester Pickaxe handle, Governor
Maddox of Georgia.
Speaker 13 (26:52):
Yeah, they're all Democrats in front stood in front of
the University of Alabama with the state police now to
allow black people in the university. And then in nineteen
eighty got eighty percent of the vote. So you know,
Donald Trump really shouldn't worry about certain demographics because some
demographics are a monolith and won't get any of his votes.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Anyway, I could step back to the interview.
Speaker 13 (27:14):
Let's go back to the interview. Brett Baar did what
Donald Trump should have done. Okay, Brett Behaar simply, you know,
ask the questions that and like to your Coola's last point,
she stuck to her talking points. That's not what an
interview is. An interview is you ask questions and they
(27:34):
answered them. And that's exactly what she was trying to do.
Stand on a soapbox. Right from the beginning of the interview,
he said, how many illegals do you think got in
by your estimate? I mean, we have all types of estimates.
She wouldn't answer that question. She even said to him
at one point, I'm trying to answer your question. You know, listen,
you were a prosecutor. Okay, you know what pointed questions
are I asked you a very pointed question. You're not
(27:55):
trying to answer my question. You're trying to stand on
your soapbox. Okay. I will say Dan and Cambridge made
a good point that she probably handled that interview better
than Donald Trump would handle an interview in a hostile
environment like that. I think that she I kind of
believe she did as well as she could have done
(28:16):
in an interview where he was not going to let go,
let her pivot and not answer questions. He kept trying
to bring her back to answer the question, so that
entire interview she was kind of exposed to the people
that already know who she is, you know, and the
other people. I think we're boiling down to the point
(28:37):
here with Kamala Harris where you're going to vote for
her because you know you hate Trump more than you
love your country. That's what I believed, just like the
other about.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But I will say this, I didn't hear much joy
in that interview in Chicago at the convention, it was
all about joy. There was no joy in that interview.
It was you know, again, they should have she should
have expected the questions. And my question is, why would
you not apologize if if one of the US military
(29:11):
personnel who were sadly and unnecessarily killed in Kabul because
of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, if someone of them
said they want an apology, what is do we elect
political leaders or do we elect kings and queens here
(29:33):
who do not have to give an apology to any
of US serfs. That's what it's like to me.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
Not only did she not give an apology. Actually, in
your analogy before you said, you know, I'm sorry for
hitting your car, and then you give a different type
of apology, she didn't even do that. The correct analogy
for that would be like she would have pulled out
and said sorry, there's damage to your car. It didn't
even agreed that she hit the car. I mean, she
just literally and you know what, here's another thing. You know,
(30:00):
when he asked her and she kept trying to go
to well, you know, Donald Trump killed the bill or whatever. Listen,
we had four times as many illegal immigrants across the border,
and this last year of your administration that we did
compared to Trump's last year of his administration. If you
literally did nothing except stuck with what Trump did, there'd
be a seventy five percent decrease in the amount of
(30:21):
illegal crossings right there, without any bill or anything, not
to mention all the money that was tied to that
bill for the Ukraine and lots of other things that
you were trying to do in that bill, like aet
one point eight million illegals in every year before any
of those things would kick in to stop all of
this overrun at the border. Now, me and you disagree
on why they do this, but if you put it
(30:42):
in terms you know, I know that you don't believe
as much as I do about changing the voted demographic.
But if you put it in terms of this, then
if you say at the end of all of this,
all of these illegal crossings, if at the end of
this you're going to say, we want amnesty, what comes
with amnesty? Citizenship? What comes with citizenship? Voting? Okay, it
(31:02):
all boils down to that. At the end of the day.
They're playing the long game. They're smart, they're smarter than
us in a lot of ways, and that's what they're
trying to do right now. You see the DOJ right
now suing to put non citizens back on the voter
roles in Virginia. I mean, this is a thing that's happening.
I know it's not many probably won't swing an election,
but they're actually doing that, and I know that it's
(31:24):
because it's against you know, one of the laws that
we passed for voter registration. I was too close to
November fifth.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
To do that.
Speaker 13 (31:30):
But you're talking about non citizens being taken off the voting.
The other question beyond.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Our start today was I forget what where it was,
what community was, But basically they want to pass a
piece of legislature which says that non citizens cannot be
elected to office. There are a lot of communities now
where non citizens can vote in local elections, city elections
before election.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
You know, my favorite part was my favorite part was
when she kept, you know, when finally, you know, she
kept saying, turn the page, turn the page. You would
have thought that when Trump was up there, that you
would have thought he was the one that was in
the White House for the past three and a half years.
So Brett Bair finally brought up you keep saying turn
the page, but turn the page on what And she
kept going into Trump's riding them back to Trump. She goes,
you know what I'm saying, we both know what I'm saying.
(32:14):
He goes, no, you know what I'm talking about, and
he goes, no, I have no.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Idea what she was trying to talk about. Hey, Will,
I hate to do this to you, man, what are
you talking? I got pack lines and you just got
six minutes because you're a great college. Thank you.
Speaker 13 (32:26):
Thanks, all right, good night, All right.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Let's keep rolling here. We are gonna say good night
to Will. Take a quick break. Yeah, let me let's
get to the commercial and we'll try to get everybody in.
Jim Giggs, Joe and Paul back on Nightside.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Okay, here we are with crunch time. Let's get everybody
gigs and Wymouth gigs next to the Nightside.
Speaker 12 (32:52):
Go right ahead, Hey Darren, Hey darn you're no follo'carter. Uh. Anyway, Dan,
I wanted to respond to Kamala's interview with pet Bear.
I thought she showed, uh, you know, how really unsure
(33:18):
she was about, you know, what the issues really are
for the American people.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Questions didn't want to answer.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
But I thought I've seen her in a few interviews
with like Stephen Colbert and.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
That's not an interview, that's a that's a comedy. Well,
he'd like to think it's it's.
Speaker 12 (33:38):
Funny comedy where she wasn't toss these softball questions and
she I didn't think she could really answer anything. He was.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Well, the highlight of the Stephen Colbert interview was they
each had a Miller beer. Good luck with that.
Speaker 12 (33:53):
Yeah. Yes, I think she's had enough beers and blunts,
you know, over the last four years. And I just
think she showed who that she's really unprepared to deal with, uh,
you know, the issues of you know, the American consumers.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
How you know people used to deal with Giggs. I
got gigs. I appreciate your call. Keep calling. I'm just
were calling late and I'm trying to get everybody in Okay.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
Thanks, okay, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Thank you, sir. Have a good one. Paul Paul in
South Boston. Paul next on nights.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Go right ahead, Hi, Dan, it's been a while.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Right ahead, Paul, you're next.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Oh Dan, I just I'll make it real quick. But
I just find to say I watched that whole interview,
and you have to remember Brett also had to interrupt
her because he couldn't let her rham bel on for like,
you know, for like five minutes and you'd only get
four questions in for the for the twenty interviewed and and.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's a conversation. It's it's not like it's not like,
let me ask you the first question, what what's your
favorite color? And and she talks for five minutes. Okay,
that's good, thank you very much. If you were a tree,
what type of tree would you be? Oh, you'd be
an elm tree. That's interesting. Why would you be? You know?
I mean that's you know, that's the sort of stuff
that she gets with Howard Stern and with uh Stephen Colbert,
(35:17):
Who's how does Stephen Colbert stay on television? I mean,
it's the most there's no humor in that show.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
How does the view stay on the air?
Speaker 12 (35:25):
You ever watched it?
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Five minutes in the morning.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
The hate that if you feel the brain cells dying,
and it's a horrible feeling when you realize your brain
cells are dying. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Can I just say one more thing? Dan another caller
that the other call and I don't like to comment
on other callers, but when he said he looked at
it as an interrogation. Brett Blead did not give her
an intelligen you know, interrogation. He interviewed her and he
did pretty well.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
He has no idea what an interrogation is, thankfully, and.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
He actually said if you actually look at he said,
he said he enjoyed interviewer, and I hope that he
would day he could interview her again. But she was
fairly combative with him too. Sometimes in that interview, she yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
She was going to steal a standard ground, but at
the same time he gave her and he asked her
an honest question, Okay, how many people have crossed the border.
What do you think now? She could have said to him,
we think it's about a million and a half or
she could have said we recognize it's eight and a
half million, or whatever she wanted to say, and then
(36:27):
you go on from there.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
And the one last thing, Dan, all she did was
blame Trump for everything. Her and Biden took no responsibility
for anything. She blamed Trump and actually blamed them for I.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Would say that the majority of votes that the vice
president will win on November fifth, the primary motivation of
those voters, the vast majority of them were voting not
for her but against Donald Trump. They'll all count, don't
get me wrong, But it'll be interesting to find out
if people are going to vote for her again as
Donald Trump. Most people who are vote going to vote
(37:03):
for Trump are going to vote for Trump. They won't
be voting against Harris. They're voting for Trump. It's really
an election, but much more about Donald Trump than it
is about Harris or Trump or Trump.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
Hey, Dann, I'm glad we got to talk again. I
hope he would talk soon again.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Well, you know, it's all up to you. Remember six
months thirty. Have a great night.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Thank you. All right.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Let me go next to Jim in Missouri. Jim next
on Nice, I.
Speaker 15 (37:29):
Welcome, damn, thank you.
Speaker 12 (37:31):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
I'm doing great, Jim.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
Okay, I'll be brief.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Well, I didn't. I did not listener to or watch
the whole interview because I felt like this is kind
of how it would turn out. But one thing that
I would like to have seen, uh as uh uh
what Roger Ebert would have said. One missed opportunity I
felt was the breadbear. After he repeated the same question
(37:59):
a couple of times, I thought he could have pivoted
and presented her with the answer to the questions she
had that she had given preview to the same question
because I heard her say at one point that she
thought Joe was going to do just fine. And what
I would have said was, given the.
Speaker 15 (38:17):
Current situation, would you now admit that you were wrong
about whether or not he's doing just fine? And I
would go question by question. I would have done the
same thing on every question instead of just asking her
the same question over and over again.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Well, yeah, when you're in those situations, and I've been
in those situations, you're trying to elicit some information. I
don't think there were any gotcha questions there. I don't
think there was any questions about you won no delegates,
you didn't stand in the primary or anything. And it
was just it was just pretty good question. I thought
(38:53):
he developed good questions.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
And we had a good question. He had good questions,
But well, you had good questions. But I would like
to have seen him pivot and just let her, let her,
let her off the hook. But then she's walking away
from the hook, she walks through some things that she
you know, if she doesn't want to give a new answer,
then let her just go with her previously. She's because
she's on the record already.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I got you, I got you to thank you much,
interesting point, thank you. Last of the night, Gary got Gary.
Speaker 8 (39:23):
I'll just make it fast. Obviously it was a disgrace.
Everybody's got to vote for Trump. You can't be voted
for this woman. It's crazy. Uh, Dan, I used to
live in the Merwick Valley and now I'm in Woo.
But I just want to bring you attention tomorrow night
for a show. You might want to look on the
front page. Some guy uh working for the United Way
embezzled seven million dollars.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
That's that's not a show. That's what that's what. It's
called the criminal indictment. That's a criminal indictment. That's not
a show. We're going to have Bill Bratton on Tomorrow night. Uh,
and we're also going to have someone who's going to
talk about dreams and your interpretation of those two.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
So the last one is tomorrow night. The last hour.
You go to songs, but you're in good mood rock
and roll or in tears, you go to song. I
guarantee you that.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Don't ever become a radio show producer. Gary okay with
stick with the day job. Talk to you later. Have
a good one. We're done for the night. How much time, Rob,
thirty seconds? Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect to all the callers
except Joe in Boston. I think we're screaming at a
friend of his and would have gotten a bad word
in the radio. Thank you other than Joe and Boston. Joe,
don't bother to call back. A'll end as always, Rob,
(40:33):
Thank you, Maria, thank you. All dogs, all cats, all
pets go to heaven. That's my pal Charlie ray Is,
who passed fourteen years ago in February. That's where all
your pets are who have passed. They loved you and
you love them, and I do believe you're going to
see them again. And I hope to see all of
you again tomorrow night and nights that I'll see you
in about two minutes. That on Facebook on Dan Ray
(40:54):
Nightside with Dan Ray on Facebook, and we'll do our
postgame presentation. Have a great Friday, everyone here. It comes
to the weekend pretty soon.
It's nice.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
All right, hour number four coming up here on a
Thursday night. By the way, tomorrow night, we will have
as a special guest at ten o'clock tomorrow night, former
Boston Police commissioner, former New York Police commissioner, and former
chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, Bill Bratton. And
(00:27):
Bratton is in Boston for a meeting of police chiefs
from around the country, and we're going to talk with
him about not only presidential security, but also what he
knows about efforts by foreign power is specifically Iran to
(00:47):
assassinate American political leaders of both Democratic and Republican of
past administrations. So there's a lot going on. We're entering
the final stretch. We're within twenty days of November fifth,
and one of the things that I'm concerned about is
that there is an acceptance of whatever the results of
(01:11):
the election are on November fifth, because as a country,
I don't think we can go through the trauma and
all of which was involved after twenty twenty. So I'm
hoping for a decisive campaign on whichever candidate wins, that
it is a clear and convincing win, so that yeah,
(01:34):
there'll be some people on each side who will not
accept the results. But I think it's important for us
to get past this situation and restore our faith in
our systems. So I want to talk about last night.
Did any of you see the interview that Vice President
Harris did on Fox. I thought that that was a
(01:59):
brilliant strike, a brilliant effort by her campaign to go
on to Fox because she has not done many interviews
with any She hasn't done much with the major networks ABC,
NBC and CBS, which I think would be probably a
lot friendly. Oh, she's been on the View, I guess.
(02:22):
And she did Howard Stern, and she was on with
Stephen Colbert, and I'm sure at some point she'll be
on with Jimmy Kimmel. She was on with Charlemagne de God.
She was on with a couple of podcasts. One was
with a couple of I think x NBA players, and
I think that they have a podcast which talks about
(02:44):
lifestyle and all of that. So she decided to accept that.
I'm sure this was negotiated with with Fox, and Brett
Bear was her interviewer, And of all the people on Fox,
I think Brett Behar is the fairest, So I think
(03:06):
that that was an opportunity. But I thought her performance
last night was abysmal, And if you disagree with me,
feel free to bring me back off the edge here.
I thought she was unresponsive to questions. I thought that
she tried to fill a buster. And I want to
(03:26):
play a couple of sound bites and get your reaction
to them. I assume you probably have seen them, but
I got to play the longer versions. So nothing well,
no one can accuse us of being out of contact.
So this is cut number one. The question here is
that deals with sort of the right track wrong track question,
(03:49):
and the statistic that is quoted by the Fox host
is that seventy percent of Americans say the country is
on the wrong track. And let's see how this question
goes for the Vice president cut number one, Please.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Rob, people tell the country is on the wrong track.
They say the country is on the wrong track. If
it's on the wrong track, that track follows three and
a half years of you being vice president and President
Biden being president. That is what they're saying, seventy nine
percent of them. Why are they saying that? If you're
turning the page, you've been in office for three and a.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Half years, and Donald Trump has been running for office,
but you've been the person home on office a lot.
And I both know what I'm talking about. You and
I both know what I'm actually what are you talking about?
What I'm talking about is that over the last decade,
people have the power. But listen.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, it's like, tell us what you're talking about. Don't
make us guess, so we could they continue to this conversation.
This has cut one a This is an extension of
that that that issue, this conver station.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Over the last decade. It is clear to me and
certainly the Republicans who are on stage with me, the
former chief of staff to the President Donald Trump, former
defense secretaries, national security advisor, and his vice president one,
that he is unfit to serve, that he is unstable,
(05:21):
that he is dangerous, and that people are exhausted with
someone who professes to be a leader who spends full
time demeaning and engaging in personal grievances and it being
about him instead for the American people. People aren't tired
of that.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Now. Again, I thought that she was given opportunity to
say what she wanted to say, But I don't know
she's responsive to the responsive to the questions. Will finish
up this segment of questions with cut one B, which
is again the continuation of that portion of the conversation
about if the country's on the wrong track, what are
(06:03):
you attorney?
Speaker 6 (06:03):
The page from that's the case.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Why is half the country supporting him? Why is he
beating you in a lot of swing states. Why if
he's as bad as you say that half of this
country is now supporting this person who could be the
forty seventh president of the United States.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Why is that happening? This is an election for president
of the United States. It's not supposed to be easy,
I know, but it's not supposed to be It is
not supposed to be misguided. Are they stupid that I
would never say that about the American people? And in fact,
if you listen to Donald Trump, if you watch any
(06:39):
of his rallies, he's the one who tends to demean
and belittle and diminish the American people. He's the one
who talks about an enemy within, an enemy within, talking
about the American people, suggesting he would turn the American
military on the American people.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
It's a lot about Donald Trump, and I'm not sure.
Maybe that's the best card she can play, but I'm
not sure. Okay, so let's go to This is the question,
which again is an interesting question about when did the
vice president realize that maybe President Biden had faltered. That's
(07:25):
a reasonable question. I think this is three A. Please
rob me ask.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You this interviewers, that Joe Biden was on his game
that ran around circles on his staff, when did you
first notice that President Biden's mental faculties appeared diminished?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Joe Biden. I have watched in from the Oval office
to the situation room, and he has the judgment and
the experiment and experienced to do exactly what he has
done and making very important decisions on behalf of the
American people. Joe Biden is not on ballot.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Again, the answer is not response to the question got
three B.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I understand Donald Trump, Donald Trump, but he talked about
it and Donald.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Trump George said within a few minutes of talking to
President Biden at a fundraiser that he thought this was
not the same Joe Biden that we saw on.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
The debate stage is on the ballot.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I understand you met with him at least once a
week for three and a half years, you didn't have
any concerns.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
I think the American people have a concern about Donald Trump,
which is why the people who know him best, including
leaders of our national security community, have all spoken out.
Even people who worked for him in the Oval Office,
worked with him in the situation room, and have said
he is unfit and dangerous and should never be president
(08:59):
of the United State. It's again, including his former vice president,
which is why the job was open for him to
choose another running mate.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Okay, last cut in this area, Cut number four.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
How many illegal immigrants would you estimate your administration has
released into the country over the last three and a
half years.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of immigration because
I agree with you. It is a topic of discussion
that people want to rightly have. And you know what
I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, but you're just a number.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Do you think it's one million, three million?
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Brett.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Let's just get to the point, Okay. The point is
that we have a broken immigration system that needs to
be repaired.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So your Homeland Security secretary said that eighty five percent
of apprehension.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'm not finished.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
We have a refreshment of six million people have been
released into the country, and let me just finish and
I'll get you the question.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
I promise you I was beginning to answer, and.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Okay, all right, when I get back, I will I
will play for you what I considered to be the
two worst responses that Vice President Harris issued last night,
and this was one that really bothered me. Maybe it
bothers you. The only lines of the ropean right now
(10:28):
six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. Both of
those are full six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty.
If you saw the interview with Vice President Harris, it
was obviously a challenging interview, but I think it was
a professional interview, and I think that the Vice President
(10:49):
didn't help her standing. I don't think she helped her
standing with Fox viewers. I get that, but there's a
lot of independence who I think I think deserved more
from the Vice President yesterday. We'll take a break. I
got two more sound bites to play and then we're well,
we're going to go right to phones for the route
(11:09):
for the balance of the House. So if you want
a weigh in, now's the time to call. Take a
quick break. Coming back on night Side.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
All right, here is the final two questions that I
think the Vice President failed miserably on, to put it kindly, okay,
questions about Americans who were killed and a request for
an apology. She dutifully evades the why not apologize? Why
(11:51):
she's going to talk about sympathy and how much she cares,
which is fine, But why not say I'm really sorry,
I'm really so, and I apologize to that family, and
if our decisions had anything to do with a sequence
of events that led to the loss of your loved ones,
(12:11):
you have my deepest apologies. That's the answer, in my opinion.
We'll see. Let's go to cut number five. Rob Cut five.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Back to the original premise. Joscelyn Hungary, Rachel Morin, Lacln Riley.
They are young women who were brutally assaulted and killed
by some of the men who were released at the
beginning of the administration, well before a negotiated bipartisan bill.
Former President Clinton actually referred to Lake and Riley Sunday
campaigning for You and Georgia, saying, if those men had
(12:43):
been properly vetted, Lake and Riley probably would not have
been killed. So if it wouldn't have happened, this is
well before any negotiation. This is well before Donald Trump
got involved in the politics. This is a specific policy
decision by your administration to release these men into the country.
So what I'm saying to you, do you owe those
family really? I think an apology?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Let me just say, first of all, those are tragic cases.
There's no question about that. There's no question about that.
And I can't imagine the pain that the families of
those victims have experienced.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
No apology. Five B five be The conversation continues, and I.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Will let one of the mothers talk about it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Take a listen.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Because of the Biden Harris administration open border policies catch
and release, they were enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program.
This meant that they were released into the United States.
It was not even a full three weeks later that
they would take my daughter, Jocelyn Nungery's life. I believe
the Biden Harris administration open border policies are responsible for
(13:53):
the death of my daughter.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
That's the early days.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
So do you owe them an apologies?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
I'll tell you that I am so sorry for her loss.
I'm so sorry for her loss, sincerely, But let's talk
about what is happening right now with an individual who
does not want to participate in solutions. Let's talk about
that as well. In all fairness, I told you I
(14:21):
feel awful, But.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
No apology, no apology? Why not, Madam Vice President? Why not?
She was trained to pivot from the question, always wants
to pivot. So now I want to get your reaction.
Some of you may felt that she did very well,
and she was in the lions den and she did
as well as she could. I don't share that point
(14:47):
of view, but I'd love to hear of yours if
you have that point of view. Mark and Gambridge. Mark
going to start us off this hour. First of all,
did you get a chance to watch that interview?
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I did.
Speaker 10 (14:57):
Dad.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
How you doing good evening, Ben, good evening.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh we're doing great, We're doing great. Thanks for calling in.
So what'd you think?
Speaker 7 (15:05):
I watched the debate on my phone, But I did
have I was standing job like you said, Kamala was
bobbing and weaving.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah yeah, and I I just don't know what they
expected for questions. All of the questions were predictable.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Yeah, you're right, I mean apology. I mean, I think
she should apologize to the family because all this happening
on her administration, her watch.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
By the way, that the woman who they who they utilized, uh,
that was a little twelve year old girl who.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
Was murder Oh God, in Houston.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
In Houston, and those those illegals were arrested and are
facing murder charges. There are two guys from Venezuela. I
just don't know. I think the American people would have
said thank you. I mean, just obviously she's never going
to get the votes of that mother. I get that.
(16:08):
But she could have said, look, if there was anything
that we did or we failed to do that somehow
directly indirectly led to the murder of your daughter, you
have my personal apologies. That would have shut the Fox
guy down. But I didn't want to go there.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
Didn't want to go there. I agree with you, Dan,
I agree with you, and also that I wanted to
say so. They did the interview with let Me See
and Channel with CBS.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I'm a Stephen Colbert where they drank a beer. You know,
I mean, you know, it's like, yeah, I I don't
know I mean, you know what, why not why not
sit down with some people from ABC, from NBC, from CBS. Uh.
And now I guess she used the one of sixty
(16:57):
minutes interview. Fine, let's see what let's see what sixty
men in it springs and and let's see if sixty minutes.
Lets her avoid answering questions and always bring it back
to I'm running against the bad Orange man.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
I agree with you, Dan. What I'm saying, Man, thank
you for taking my call again.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You know rock you welcome keep calling the show. Thank
you much, Yes, thank you soon you too. Let me
go to Dan and Hampton, New Hampshire. Dan, welcome you
in next time Nightside. You get a chance to watch
that interview or portions of it, I.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Did, Dan, But you were on the air. So are
you even aware of the way Fox presented that interview?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Well, I watched. No, the interview was done. It was
what's called alive to tape. And having been in the business,
I do know that the interview began at about five
point fifteen. I think it went about twenty five minutes.
Speaker 11 (17:54):
Okay, I want to get Okay, Dan, Fine, but.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
What I'm saying I did what I watched this, Dan,
to answer your question, I just want to make sure
whatever you throw hit me with. Whatever you got to
hit me with your best shot. I watched it because
it played at six o'clock, and it played unedited. It
was not lot. It was it had been done live
from five point fifteen to like twenty to twenty minutes
(18:17):
of six, and then they just turned it around and
played it as a as a taped live interview.
Speaker 12 (18:23):
But go ahead, okay.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
My impression was it was supposed to be on at
eight o'clock, So that's what That's what I turned it on. No,
I know, they take one sound bite she makes and
then they go back to the studio and they got
Trump Junior talking about what she's saying. Yeah, and they
continue to do that. You know, I turned it off
and discuss and decided to listen to you for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
No thank you, no thanks.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I thought of that.
Speaker 11 (18:48):
I thought she more I thought she more than held
her own. She said she was sorry, she said she
felt terrible. What happened. You don't know. I don't know.
Nobody knows that. Mother's convinced that it was a mistake
that Biden and Harris made this kind of thing has
been happening, that's been happening long before they were around,
(19:12):
So you know, it could have just wellness.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
In fairness, Dan, and I'm not looking. I really don't
want to debate you on this, but I will say
that they were about I think it was some figures
like ninety or so executive orders that Trump had implemented
that on the first day in office to buy the
Harris administration changed, and that the number of people coming
(19:35):
over the border increased dramatically. The estimates are I was
about eight point three million people so far. But here's
my question to you, Okay, and I suspect you're going
to give me an honest answer. Should have she just
looked in the camera and said to that mother, who
I'm sure is not going to support our campaign. I
want you to know. I want her to know that
(19:57):
she has my personal, heartfelt apology. There's nothing I can
say that will make her feel better. But why would
she not look in the camera and apologize to the moment.
Speaker 11 (20:08):
I kind of feel that that's exactly what she did.
I mean, is the word sorry no longer considered an apology.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Well, well, I'll give you an example. Let me let
me try to let me try to explain it, and
then you tell me why you and I live next
door to each other. Okay, And I back out of
my driveway one day and I bump in, I hit
your car and I do some damage to the car,
and you walk out the door and you look at
me say what the hell happened here? And I say,
(20:38):
oh G, I'm really sorry I hit your car? Now?
Is that okay? Or should I say, look, Dan, I apologize.
I didn't know you had parked the car there. It's
my fault, totally. I apologize, which would you prefer to hear.
Speaker 11 (20:55):
The ladder? However, that's all.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So we're talking about me up in your car, which
is probably covered by insurance, compared to a mom who
lost a twelve year old daughter who was viciously raped
and murdered allegedly by two people who should never have
been in this country.
Speaker 11 (21:12):
But again, you can't say that was her fault. She
can't sit there and take fault for something that may
not have been her fault at all. It's all she
could do is say how sorry she was, And she
said it. I thought very well.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
She could say if a plane crash just tomorrow and
a hundred people die in a plane crash. I could say,
I'm terribly sorry that that happened, but she had no
responsibility with the plane crash. But if they had not
loosened the border, I think that's what the mother was
looking for. But we could disagree to we get agree
to disagree. I understand your position. You feel that saying
(21:52):
sorry was adequate, Okay.
Speaker 11 (21:57):
And one other things quick Trump Trump being asked today
by a farmer supporter if he would take responsible some
responsibility for January sixth, he called it a day of love.
I'd love to see don Trump. I'd love to see
Donald Trump sit down for a half hour of somebody
(22:17):
like Nicole Wallace, got a feeling he do a lot.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
He sat down in fairness to Trump. And again, I
think that statement is a stupid, absurd statement. Okay, this
this no other way I could describe that. Uh, it
was not a day of love at all. It was
not a day of love at all. Okay. But yeah,
but that's not the first stupid or absurd statement Donald
Trump is made. As you know, he sat down.
Speaker 11 (22:46):
Is why he's avoiding all That's why he's avoiding all
these interviews and saying that you know the media is
all against me. See I can't do sixty minutes for
CBS is against me. This one's against me, that one's
against me. Give me a break. This man is totally unhinged,
and if you're going to vote for him, I don't.
I don't think you are. But I know a lot
(23:07):
of your listeners are. You're crazy and this country is
going to be in for a world of heart. I
guess that's you. Let me say what I want to say, Dan,
I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's what my show is all about. Thanks, Dan, appreciate you.
Cal have a good one to take a break with.
At the bottom of the hour. If you agree with Dan,
feel free. If you agree with Mark, feel free. We'll
be back on Nightside right after these few messages.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You're on Nightside with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Let's go back to the Phone's going to talk with
Xavier in Dorchester. Xavier, welcome to Nightside. Thanks for calling in.
Bring Xavier up for me. For some reason, mouse isn't
working here, rob.
Speaker 13 (23:55):
Hi, Xavier, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I think I'm second time, all right, Exavier, welcome back.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Yes, I just want to say one I want to
say a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
By the way, I missed, did you say first time
calling the second time?
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Second time?
Speaker 12 (24:13):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Okay? I I was afraid that I may be misunderstood. YEA, well,
welcome back. You can right ahead.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I was going to say one.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
One question, do Trump ever answer? Two? The interview was
not an interview, It was interrogation.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
I worked in a law enforcement It was an interrogation.
Speaker 13 (24:36):
It was the interview.
Speaker 10 (24:37):
Three. I thought she handled it very well and stuck
to her as they want to say her talking point
two fours. Then you do, then you don't, Then you do.
Speaker 13 (24:52):
Damn you don't.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Of course you're talking to like a bull Connor.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
And you old enough.
Speaker 13 (24:56):
Nobody say bull Connor.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
You old enough.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I have no idea where you're going to go with that.
I know who bull Connor was. You try there be
the bull Connor. You you know Connor.
Speaker 13 (25:10):
Did not not not you.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
I said my fault exam was bull Connor. Simple Dan
you are? I said, you are old enough to know
who bull Connor was.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Yeah, he was a racist sheriff who's sick uh German
shepherd dogs and civil rights marchers. So what does he
got to do with this? Conversation.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
That was an interrogation, interview.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I get, I understand that point. I disagree with that.
I'm a I'm a professional broadcaster, and I think that
Bear conducted himself very well. And I thought that the
Vice President missed opportunities after opportunities after opportunities to clarify
her positions.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
This probably where you and I. That's where you and
I respectfully disagree.
Speaker 14 (26:01):
That that's why people, you folks like you, joined the
That's that is why I invite Midnight.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Well, thank you very much for the conversation. It was
really delightful. Thank you, Exavier. Okay, that's fine. You know,
if if you don't have a conversation, that's fine, just
tell me. I'll give you, you know, whatever amount of
time you want, Will in Long Island, will your next
on Night Side?
Speaker 13 (26:28):
Oh man, Xavier. You know what if Bill car Bull
Carter was a Democrat, you'd probably vote for him, right
he was.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Bull Connor was a Democrat, by the way, it was Connor,
not Carter. Bull Connor was a Democrat.
Speaker 13 (26:41):
Ad just like just like Governor Wallace.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Got the Governor Maddocks and and Lester Pickaxe handle, Governor
Maddox of Georgia.
Speaker 13 (26:52):
Yeah, they're all Democrats in front stood in front of
the University of Alabama with the state police now to
allow black people in the university. And then in nineteen
eighty got eighty percent of the vote. So you know,
Donald Trump really shouldn't worry about certain demographics because some
demographics are a monolith and won't get any of his votes.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Anyway, I could step back to the interview.
Speaker 13 (27:14):
Let's go back to the interview. Brett Baar did what
Donald Trump should have done. Okay, Brett Behaar simply, you know,
ask the questions that and like to your Coola's last point,
she stuck to her talking points. That's not what an
interview is. An interview is you ask questions and they
(27:34):
answered them. And that's exactly what she was trying to do.
Stand on a soapbox. Right from the beginning of the interview,
he said, how many illegals do you think got in
by your estimate? I mean, we have all types of estimates.
She wouldn't answer that question. She even said to him
at one point, I'm trying to answer your question. You know, listen,
you were a prosecutor. Okay, you know what pointed questions
are I asked you a very pointed question. You're not
(27:55):
trying to answer my question. You're trying to stand on
your soapbox. Okay. I will say Dan and Cambridge made
a good point that she probably handled that interview better
than Donald Trump would handle an interview in a hostile
environment like that. I think that she I kind of
believe she did as well as she could have done
(28:16):
in an interview where he was not going to let go,
let her pivot and not answer questions. He kept trying
to bring her back to answer the question, so that
entire interview she was kind of exposed to the people
that already know who she is, you know, and the
other people. I think we're boiling down to the point
(28:37):
here with Kamala Harris where you're going to vote for
her because you know you hate Trump more than you
love your country. That's what I believed, just like the
other about.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
But I will say this, I didn't hear much joy
in that interview in Chicago at the convention, it was
all about joy. There was no joy in that interview.
It was you know, again, they should have she should
have expected the questions. And my question is, why would
you not apologize if if one of the US military
(29:11):
personnel who were sadly and unnecessarily killed in Kabul because
of the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, if someone of them
said they want an apology, what is do we elect
political leaders or do we elect kings and queens here
(29:33):
who do not have to give an apology to any
of US serfs. That's what it's like to me.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
Not only did she not give an apology. Actually, in
your analogy before you said, you know, I'm sorry for
hitting your car, and then you give a different type
of apology, she didn't even do that. The correct analogy
for that would be like she would have pulled out
and said sorry, there's damage to your car. It didn't
even agreed that she hit the car. I mean, she
just literally and you know what, here's another thing. You know,
(30:00):
when he asked her and she kept trying to go
to well, you know, Donald Trump killed the bill or whatever. Listen,
we had four times as many illegal immigrants across the border,
and this last year of your administration that we did
compared to Trump's last year of his administration. If you
literally did nothing except stuck with what Trump did, there'd
be a seventy five percent decrease in the amount of
(30:21):
illegal crossings right there, without any bill or anything, not
to mention all the money that was tied to that
bill for the Ukraine and lots of other things that
you were trying to do in that bill, like aet
one point eight million illegals in every year before any
of those things would kick in to stop all of
this overrun at the border. Now, me and you disagree
on why they do this, but if you put it
(30:42):
in terms you know, I know that you don't believe
as much as I do about changing the voted demographic.
But if you put it in terms of this, then
if you say at the end of all of this,
all of these illegal crossings, if at the end of
this you're going to say, we want amnesty, what comes
with amnesty? Citizenship? What comes with citizenship? Voting? Okay, it
(31:02):
all boils down to that. At the end of the day.
They're playing the long game. They're smart, they're smarter than
us in a lot of ways, and that's what they're
trying to do right now. You see the DOJ right
now suing to put non citizens back on the voter
roles in Virginia. I mean, this is a thing that's happening.
I know it's not many probably won't swing an election,
but they're actually doing that, and I know that it's
(31:24):
because it's against you know, one of the laws that
we passed for voter registration. I was too close to
November fifth.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
To do that.
Speaker 13 (31:30):
But you're talking about non citizens being taken off the voting.
The other question beyond.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Our start today was I forget what where it was,
what community was, But basically they want to pass a
piece of legislature which says that non citizens cannot be
elected to office. There are a lot of communities now
where non citizens can vote in local elections, city elections
before election.
Speaker 13 (31:52):
You know, my favorite part was my favorite part was
when she kept, you know, when finally, you know, she
kept saying, turn the page, turn the page. You would
have thought that when Trump was up there, that you
would have thought he was the one that was in
the White House for the past three and a half years.
So Brett Bair finally brought up you keep saying turn
the page, but turn the page on what And she
kept going into Trump's riding them back to Trump. She goes,
you know what I'm saying, we both know what I'm saying.
(32:14):
He goes, no, you know what I'm talking about, and
he goes, no, I have no.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Idea what she was trying to talk about. Hey, Will,
I hate to do this to you, man, what are
you talking? I got pack lines and you just got
six minutes because you're a great college. Thank you.
Speaker 13 (32:26):
Thanks, all right, good night, All right.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Let's keep rolling here. We are gonna say good night
to Will. Take a quick break. Yeah, let me let's
get to the commercial and we'll try to get everybody in.
Jim Giggs, Joe and Paul back on Nightside.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Okay, here we are with crunch time. Let's get everybody
gigs and Wymouth gigs next to the Nightside.
Speaker 12 (32:52):
Go right ahead, Hey Darren, Hey darn you're no follo'carter. Uh. Anyway, Dan,
I wanted to respond to Kamala's interview with pet Bear.
I thought she showed, uh, you know, how really unsure
(33:18):
she was about, you know, what the issues really are
for the American people.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Questions didn't want to answer.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
But I thought I've seen her in a few interviews
with like Stephen Colbert and.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
That's not an interview, that's a that's a comedy. Well,
he'd like to think it's it's.
Speaker 12 (33:38):
Funny comedy where she wasn't toss these softball questions and
she I didn't think she could really answer anything. He was.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Well, the highlight of the Stephen Colbert interview was they
each had a Miller beer. Good luck with that.
Speaker 12 (33:53):
Yeah. Yes, I think she's had enough beers and blunts,
you know, over the last four years. And I just
think she showed who that she's really unprepared to deal with, uh,
you know, the issues of you know, the American consumers.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
How you know people used to deal with Giggs. I
got gigs. I appreciate your call. Keep calling. I'm just
were calling late and I'm trying to get everybody in Okay.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
Thanks, okay, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Thank you, sir. Have a good one. Paul Paul in
South Boston. Paul next on nights.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Go right ahead, Hi, Dan, it's been a while.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Right ahead, Paul, you're next.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Oh Dan, I just I'll make it real quick. But
I just find to say I watched that whole interview,
and you have to remember Brett also had to interrupt
her because he couldn't let her rham bel on for like,
you know, for like five minutes and you'd only get
four questions in for the for the twenty interviewed and and.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's a conversation. It's it's not like it's not like,
let me ask you the first question, what what's your
favorite color? And and she talks for five minutes. Okay,
that's good, thank you very much. If you were a tree,
what type of tree would you be? Oh, you'd be
an elm tree. That's interesting. Why would you be? You know?
I mean that's you know, that's the sort of stuff
that she gets with Howard Stern and with uh Stephen Colbert,
(35:17):
Who's how does Stephen Colbert stay on television? I mean,
it's the most there's no humor in that show.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
How does the view stay on the air?
Speaker 12 (35:25):
You ever watched it?
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Five minutes in the morning.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
The hate that if you feel the brain cells dying,
and it's a horrible feeling when you realize your brain
cells are dying. Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (35:36):
Can I just say one more thing? Dan another caller
that the other call and I don't like to comment
on other callers, but when he said he looked at
it as an interrogation. Brett Blead did not give her
an intelligen you know, interrogation. He interviewed her and he
did pretty well.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
He has no idea what an interrogation is, thankfully, and.
Speaker 6 (35:56):
He actually said if you actually look at he said,
he said he enjoyed interviewer, and I hope that he
would day he could interview her again. But she was
fairly combative with him too. Sometimes in that interview, she yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
She was going to steal a standard ground, but at
the same time he gave her and he asked her
an honest question, Okay, how many people have crossed the border.
What do you think now? She could have said to him,
we think it's about a million and a half or
she could have said we recognize it's eight and a
half million, or whatever she wanted to say, and then
(36:27):
you go on from there.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
And the one last thing, Dan, all she did was
blame Trump for everything. Her and Biden took no responsibility
for anything. She blamed Trump and actually blamed them for I.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Would say that the majority of votes that the vice
president will win on November fifth, the primary motivation of
those voters, the vast majority of them were voting not
for her but against Donald Trump. They'll all count, don't
get me wrong, But it'll be interesting to find out
if people are going to vote for her again as
Donald Trump. Most people who are vote going to vote
(37:03):
for Trump are going to vote for Trump. They won't
be voting against Harris. They're voting for Trump. It's really
an election, but much more about Donald Trump than it
is about Harris or Trump or Trump.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
Hey, Dann, I'm glad we got to talk again. I
hope he would talk soon again.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Well, you know, it's all up to you. Remember six
months thirty. Have a great night.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
Thank you. All right.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
Let me go next to Jim in Missouri. Jim next
on Nice, I.
Speaker 15 (37:29):
Welcome, damn, thank you.
Speaker 12 (37:31):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
I'm doing great, Jim.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
Okay, I'll be brief.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Well, I didn't. I did not listener to or watch
the whole interview because I felt like this is kind
of how it would turn out. But one thing that
I would like to have seen, uh as uh uh
what Roger Ebert would have said. One missed opportunity I
felt was the breadbear. After he repeated the same question
(37:59):
a couple of times, I thought he could have pivoted
and presented her with the answer to the questions she
had that she had given preview to the same question
because I heard her say at one point that she
thought Joe was going to do just fine. And what
I would have said was, given the.
Speaker 15 (38:17):
Current situation, would you now admit that you were wrong
about whether or not he's doing just fine? And I
would go question by question. I would have done the
same thing on every question instead of just asking her
the same question over and over again.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Well, yeah, when you're in those situations, and I've been
in those situations, you're trying to elicit some information. I
don't think there were any gotcha questions there. I don't
think there was any questions about you won no delegates,
you didn't stand in the primary or anything. And it
was just it was just pretty good question. I thought

he developed good questions.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
And we had a good question. He had good questions,
But well, you had good questions. But I would like
to have seen him pivot and just let her, let her,
let her off the hook. But then she's walking away
from the hook, she walks through some things that she
you know, if she doesn't want to give a new answer,
then let her just go with her previously. She's because
she's on the record already.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
I got you, I got you to thank you much,
interesting point, thank you. Last of the night, Gary got Gary.
Speaker 8 (39:23):

Everybody's got to vote for Trump. You can't be voted
for this woman. It's crazy. Uh, Dan, I used to
live in the Merwick Valley and now I'm in Woo.
But I just want to bring you attention tomorrow night
for a show. You might want to look on the
front page. Some guy uh working for the United Way
embezzled seven million dollars.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
That's that's not a show. That's what that's what. It's
called the criminal indictment. That's a criminal indictment. That's not
a show. We're going to have Bill Bratton on Tomorrow night. Uh,
and we're also going to have someone who's going to
talk about dreams and your interpretation of those two.
Speaker 8 (40:00):
So the last one is tomorrow night. The last hour.
You go to songs, but you're in good mood rock
and roll or in tears, you go to song. I
guarantee you that.

stick with the day job. Talk to you later. Have
a good one. We're done for the night. How much time, Rob,
thirty seconds? Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect to all the callers
except Joe in Boston. I think we're screaming at a
friend of his and would have gotten a bad word
in the radio. Thank you other than Joe and Boston. Joe,
don't bother to call back. A'll end as always, Rob,
(40:33):
Thank you, Maria, thank you. All dogs, all cats, all
pets go to heaven. That's my pal Charlie ray Is,
who passed fourteen years ago in February. That's where all
your pets are who have passed. They loved you and
you love them, and I do believe you're going to
see them again. And I hope to see all of
you again tomorrow night and nights that I'll see you
in about two minutes. That on Facebook on Dan Ray
(40:54):
Nightside with Dan Ray on Facebook, and we'll do our
postgame presentation. Have a great Friday, everyone here. It comes
to the weekend pretty soon.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
