After Donald Trump secured a return trip to the White House, there are many Americans who are considering leaving the U.S. to live and work elsewhere. While fully changing your citizenship to another country can be tempting, it can be complicated. There is now an easier and more affordable option and that's a digital nomad visa, a way to live in a foreign country for a brief period if you prove income through remote work. Dan asked "Are there any circumstances that would cause you to relocate? And if so, where?"

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's night.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Une Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
By the way, this is going to be the last
call for Paul. Paul a week ago. Last night, you
were the closest predictor of the number of electoral votes
that the winning presidential candidate would achieve. And we now
have made two or three shoutouts for you. So I'm
(00:28):
going to do one more and tomorrow night we will
pick the second closest winner. UH, and so you will.
You will not get the prize that if you call tonight.
Let's just call Rob uh and you you picked Donald
Trump with three hundred and fifteen electoral votes. You were
(00:50):
off by three. I'd like to get the the night
Side tope bag to you, but I'm not going to
keep uh. If that was just the one time only,
you're gonna you happen to listen to us. And he
made a lucky guest, so be it. But we'll give
you another one more night. If if someone knows Paul
in South Boston as a regular nights I caller, I
(01:12):
don't know that he is, but if he is, he
needs to call Rob and let him know who he is,
and we'll we'll get him the dope back. Simple as
that congratulations, Paul. I think waiting in the wings will
be Pelvis from Middleton. Paul was three votes away, Pelvis
(01:33):
was five votes away. So Pelvis, we may be calling
your name tomorrow night. All right, we are talking about
the election. We're talking about some people who are quite
upset with it, some of the stars from Hollywood, some
of whom have threatened to leave. Now tomorrow, I guess
just before lunchtime, former President Trump meets with current President
(01:59):
by at the White House. I think it's going to
be interesting whether or not it's a friendly meeting. I
hope it will be, and who knows. The way it's
set up, maybe President Biden will invite him to have lunch.
I don't know, we'll see. My hat's off to Joe
Biden for holding this meeting. He did not have the
benefit of a meeting with Donald Trump in twenty twenty.
(02:21):
So we're at least getting back to some sense of
normalcy or normality, whichever word you'd like to use in
the meantime, getting your reaction to what's been transpiring. And
let me go to David san Antonio. Dave, welcome, you
are back here on nightside. Go ahead, sir, Hi David.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Good evening, Dan, Are you hearing me?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well, you always ask me that question and my answer
is always the same. I hear you.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Fine, Good, that's great. I just remembered a long time
ago you told me to call you when I want
to discuss the vik Ramaswami again.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Please don't, please, don't kill my audience. But go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, I I mean I.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Was You know, if you want to mention that he's
going to be involved in the administration, that's great, But
I certainly don't want to devote a lot of time
and effort to, you know, someone in the there's a
lot of people to talk about. What do you want
to say?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Go ahead, Well, you said you would admit you was wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well tell me what I was wrong about? Did I
did I tell you that that he was going to
win the presidency? Or what? What? Did what did I
tell you?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You told me that I told you that he was
going to be very important in the administration. He said,
he's hardly known at all, And don't you know? And
and well he hardly know.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
How How well did he do in the in the primary?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Not very well?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Not very well? Yeah, And when was our conversation? If
I could ask if you I mean, I remember.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The Iowa before Iowa.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Okay, so so before Iowa. Let's see how long did
it take before he dropped out?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He dropped out after Iowa?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, okay, so I think I was right in that point.
But if he gets a position in the administration, he's
a smart guy, Dave, He's a smart, very smart guy,
self made business man. I'll give you all that credit,
But I think that the conversation we had was how
well he was going to do? At least that's my
recollection of it. Did you think he was going to
win the nomination?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, I thought he was going to get the vice presidency.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Okay, well I didn't, so I'll take I'll take the
win on that there. But well we were Do you
know do.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You know who I predict me?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Do you know who I predicted? You listen a lot.
You know I said it would be the vice president.
Do you know who it was it was? I said
on this air And people will tell you that that
this was This was probably I'm guessing a long about June.
(04:57):
I could have to go back and look at but
Rob will tell you I said it would be jd Vance.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Well, there you're going and the reason I thought.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That, the reason I thought that was Vance has an
incredible story of survival. He came a really difficult situation.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
JD. Vance has had three last names in his life.
Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I just you know, he had a very difficult life.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, his first name was Bowman, Okay, so his dad's
Bowman bow m a n and then his mom married
another guy. And I can look it up for you
if you want, but it's something that the average person
doesn't realize. As matter of fact, I'm going to do
it for you because you're a you're a good caller
right now. I was done to find that out. He
(05:43):
was not born JD. Vance, Okay, And it is indicative
of what a difficult life, you know, he had. He's
only forty years old. Went to Ohio State. He was
born James Donald Bowman August second of nineteen eighty four, okay,
(06:06):
and then his mom married. He was born in Middleton, Ohio,
to his mom, who was a Vance, and Donald Ray Bowman,
who died in twenty twenty three. His parents divorced and
who's a toddler. After Bowman was adopted by his mother's
(06:27):
third husband, Bob Hammill. His mother changed his name to
James David Hammill to remove the father's name while using
his uncle name to preserve the nickname j D. And
then and then she married I guess she married someone
(06:48):
who she then gave him her family name, which was JD. Vance.
So this is a guy who's had three last names,
born into object poverty. Yeah, so that's you know, I mean,
give him credit, its credit is due. It's I kind
of imagine. I you know, I don't know what your
background is, but that's a pretty non traditional background. To be.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Sure, I've only had one last name in my life.
I've had two first names. I've had two first names.
I had to tell you. I was given a Jewish
name first, but they wouldn't let me take it to
the Catholic church. So I got the name David.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You got to be named after a saint, I guess,
if I'm not mistaken, was named after Daniel in the
lions Den.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And at first, at first my mother named me Falk
f Alk it was the last name of a Jewish
family Inschwitz. That guy didn't make it out, and out
of sympathy, she gave me that as a first name.
And when she went to baptize me as Catholic because
my dad became Catholic also, and you know, they wouldn't
(07:56):
let me be named f Alk Falk, so I took
the name David.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I think they've loosened up a little bit on that
now recently. David. Always great to you, you voice my
friend again.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I just called to tell you something that you Cary.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Let me tell you something, Okay. If I if Alex
Jones is the next White House Press Secretary, I will
fly to San Antonio, Texas, and I will genuine flect
in front of you. He is a nut job. You
know who's going to be the next White House Press secretary.
The woman who is the press secretary on the campaign,
(08:32):
Carolyn Levitt, who's from New Hampshire. Young woman. She ran
for Congress in New Hampshire in twenty twenty two. She
had the Republican nomination and she lost to Congressman Papace
in New Hampshire. Take that one to the bank. Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
They were also talking about Laura Lomer.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well whatever, I don't know who Laura Lomer is, but
I'll you know again, j D. This guy Jones, I mean,
he's anathema. He has done more damage to people here
in New England with his lies about what happened. He's
he's a huge, He's a he's a he's a he
(09:15):
is a he is a guy who has made blood
money and he's lost that blood money now. Thank God
to the parents. Gotta go, Dave, do me a favor.
I don't want to ever hear his name. Pass your
lips again. That's how deeply I feel about that. Okay,
thanks Dave, talking good night.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
A man.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Look, I I allow all points of view, but that
guy is is lower than he is. He is a snake. Okay,
he's a snake and he has gotten everything that he deserves.
He's nothing but a phony. He's a The words that
(10:05):
come to mind I cannot use on the radio. We'll
be back on night side. Feel free join the conversation.
My blood pressure will be down by time I come back.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World,
Nice Sight Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Back to the phones, would go. Let me go to
Bill and le Sington. Bill, bring me back to reality.
How are your Bill?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Bill? I'm yeah, I'm doing well. How are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Very happy to talk with you. I just I have
strong feelings about that guy who who harassed and the
new Town parents.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Can Yes, it's a new day. We could all breathe freely. Now.
I've never I'm fifty years old. I've never seen an
election in my lifetime create so much stress amongst people
with one side or the other.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Yeah, and I can, yeah, I can be I can
understand that. And I'll tell you why. I mean, there
were a lot of people in the Trump camp who
were convinced, either they convinced themselves or they were convinced
that the twenty twenty election was stolen. And I think
that that this election gave lie to that. Donald Trump
(11:22):
ran a better campaign than the vice pop Yes, uh,
and the issues were better for him. He you know again,
he he had a lot of mistakes in the first
in his first administration. If he if he repeats those mistakes,
then then he'll suffer a similar consequence he has. You
don't often get a chance at that level, a second opportunity,
(11:46):
do you know what I'm saying, Well or not?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
And there's only one in history where that's ever occurred.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Again, and most people don't know much about growth Cleveland,
and they know less about Benjamin Harrison, the guy that
beat him the first time, I mean Benjamin Hair and again,
you know, to be.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Honest, for you when you just said that name, that
was the first time I can remember hearing it, like,
you know, but he's undred percent. But I do believe
he's setting himself up with success. He's putting right out
of the right places. And I would rather pay a
(12:26):
dollar eighty eight a gallon for gas in three eighty
eight or four eighty eight in the right down the line.
And I just you know, I just feel that America
made the right choice in the America spoken volumes.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I mean again, he you know, he succeeded in twenty
twenty four where he failed in twenty twenty. Uh And
I'm not in any I don't even want to talk
about the twenty twenty election because it's been literated. I
think he made a huge mistake bring those people together
in Washington on January sixth, with the language have stopped
(13:03):
to steal and all of that is great.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I will tell you. I did chuckle a little bit
when I saw the results from DC and it was
Kamilla Harris like ninety six.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yeah, no, I understand that, and I led up. I
think when Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale forty nine to
one in nineteen eighty four. Mondale did carry his own
home state of Minnesota, and he carried the District of
Columbia when Nixon beat McGovern And remember we had the
(13:39):
bumper strips up here. Don't blame me, I'm from millions. Yes, Massachusetts,
he also won the District of Columbia. I just think
that there's a lot of people in the District of
Columbia who are Democrat. As a solidly Democratic district, they
do get three members in Congress, although they do not vote.
(14:01):
They're not voting members of Congress. There are three representatives
of the District of Columbia, which is probably why the
District of Columbia never should become a state, by the way,
because it's a small little area. It was designed to
be a non state because that.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Was Nona exactly. And all of a sudden, I think
a lot of people are breather of a better breath
ofrea today than they were last week.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Well, some people are. There's a lot of people who
are very disappointed on the other side, and a lot
of people on the other side. And by the way,
we've talked about Seth Molton. I hope to have him
on either Tomorrow night or Thursday night. He's he now
is sort of the skunk at the garden party for
the Democrats because he raised some issues that he thinks
the party should talk about. And it's one of these
(14:47):
things where the party is is not learning from their
mistakes and they're saying, well, you shouldn't even raise that issue.
And look, that's an issue that probably helped Trump. Trump
use that issue. Do you know that Harris had a
billion dollars in.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, that she spent in weeks and weeks she raised
a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, yeah, and it was almost as if they had
so much money. I'm still trying to track down, uh,
and I really don't want to go there. But but
there's been some talk that some of the entertainers that
appeared and endorsed her they were paid for their adherence.
Now I understand that maybe in their head they're going
to say, well, I'm gonna go endorse the candidacy, but
(15:30):
but I'm also going to say sing some songs. I
want to find that out when when all of those
filings are made, because if any of those entertainers took
money from the campaign.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's the lot. I have a lot of
friends of mine right now, Dan, that are saying Robert
de Niro was dead. To me, I'll love a watching
of a movie he's never been in. He chose to make,
he chose to make some serious statements.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
He was he was pretty vituperative. I mean, but he
obviously feels that way. He's he lives in a country
where where you have the right to say that, and
he has the ability to say that, and and he
he will not miss a meal by having said it,
you know. So it's let's sell it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's the United States. You have freedom of speech, and
thank god we have that. You bet than we maintained that.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You bet. Your your a voice of sanity. I'm the
voice of reason, but your a voice of sanity. Thank you, man.
I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Call you are you are the voice of reason. Dan,
always a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Thanks, Thanks buddy, Touch you soon. Let's go to Joe
in waitmouth, Joe, there's no nice I appreciate you calling in.
Get you in here before the newscast at the bottom
of the hour.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Absolutely, thank you for pritiiculing my call. I'll be quick.
I I don't what's that?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
What's that you're talk in the background. You sound like
you're riding in a in a horse drawn carriage for
a moment.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Sorry, that's my directionals in my truck. Okay, I shut
them off for you. I'm I won't be sorry to
see anybody leaves that doesn't think that they need to
be here anymore. Trump is and I think maybe we
(17:21):
could solve the housing crisis also if that happens.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Very very good point, very good point. I mean, some
of the celebrities who are threatening to leave or have
threatened to leave, they live in big, big houses. Maybe
we could turn them into public housing or something.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And and.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Absolutely we need to, you know, think about other things.
And it just does I mean, it doesn't make a
lot of people happy that mister Trump is president elect,
but it gives us the thought that we have four
years to figure out that of all the people in
(18:07):
this country, we've got to be able to find at
least two people that are qualified to run for president.
This was just awful.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, well, I mean, look, we'll see what happens. He
did not have a great first term, particularly after COVID hit.
Now that's an unexpected surprise, so you give give him
a little bit of flexibility there. He did some really
dumb things and and I know f be upset that
(18:39):
I would say that he you know, some of the
phone calls that he made. I just don't want to
go all there. I'm willing to wipe this slight clean.
Let's see who he appoints. I thought that he made
an appointment today which I think was a good one,
and that was Mike Huckabee as the ambassador to Israel.
(19:03):
How could he happens to be Christian? But I think
that he would be well received in Israel. He's been
a big supporter of Israel as I am. I think
that's a good appointment.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Yes, that that sounded good to me when I heard that.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Also, Yeah, let's see what Let's see what happens. I
know that the Democrats are putting some pressure on Justice.
So Tamayor, who's only seventy years of age, which is
you know, in terms of Supreme Court justice, is fairly young.
She's been there for a while, but there are some
Democrats that want to get her out so that this
(19:39):
Congress can President Biden would have a chance to nominate it.
I think that's wrong. I think that's wrong. The pressure
was being brought brought to bear on her. You know,
let's see how it all plays out here. I was
happy to see that Senator Schumer today relented and allowed
the Senator elect from Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, to participate in
(20:03):
the uh the first day for new senators in Washington,
the orientation session. I thought that was a good thing. Look,
let's let's see how how this evolves. I mean, Donald
Trump has has a second chance to make a first impression.
(20:27):
You bet you at that level, you'd be like if
you want to have an interview for a new job,
and you during the interview you throw up on your shoes.
You're so nervous. The next time you get a second
chance to goin and you're very composed and you handle it. Well,
good for you. So let's see what happens. That's that's all.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Well, we we just have to give everybody a chance,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah. I mean, Joe I said through for four years,
Joe Biden was my president because we all have one president.
And there were a lot of my my listeners who
are upset about that. But I think every American and
there'll be there'll be people on the other side of
Donald Trump's not my president. That's not what this country
is supposed to be about. We're democracy. The majority of
(21:15):
people have voted. Now if President Trump makes mistakes.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Oh absolutely, that's we only have one president. You have
to respect the office. You don't have to respect the
person in the office.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah. And and I hope that that that judge down
in New York one merchand does the right thing and
says this case is over, because that stuff should not be.
I don't want that stuff hanging over his head. That
was a political prosecution in the first place, in my opinion, and.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
I think that's a pretty widely held opinion.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Let's see what happens.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Let's see what happens.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Joe, great to talk with you. I enjoy the conversation.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Dan. All Right, have a good nay, have.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
A safe trip home. Good night. We'll take a quick
break eleven thirty here at the bottom of the hour.
I've got a bunch of calls and I'm gonna be
talking with uh Laurie and Idaho. Always a pleasure. Bill
in Pennsylvania, Alex and Joeann and Waltham and I have
one one line open and it is this six coming
(22:26):
right back on night Side.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Okay, let's get back to the phone. It's gonna go
to Laurie Idaho. Laurie, welcome back. How are you?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I'm good, No snow yet, Thank you very much. So
I'm going to start out with just a little bit
of humor. Maybe you're was it? Was it Paul the
Bay guy? Maybe he's already even snagged by Biden for
a position in the station. All right, I mean, and uh,
excuse me, Trump for a position administration.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I don't know. Maybe, I mean he hit the he
hit the he was three three electoral votes away, so
you got to give the guy some credit. But I
don't know where he is. Dope, Bak's going to go
to someone else. I'm going to give it. IM going
to send that out to you. No, we'll we'll get
it to whoever it was second closest, unfortunately for Paul.
(23:21):
So what do you think about?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
What?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
How's the lunch going? How is the meeting at the
White House going to go tomorrow? In your opinion? I
think this before you know.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Well, So here's my thing with experience with people with dementia.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
They have no guile.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So as far as Biden goes, it's going to be fine.
Up well, and then I'm not being and then I'm
not being demeaning. At any point, it's going to be fine.
He's going to be genuine to the point he can be,
and I think it's going to go okay, And so
it because that's well, he's also a career politician. That's
in his blood.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh absolutely, no, no, no. But my question is it
supposedly is the meeting is before lunch? What do you
think the chances are we should put this on some
sort of a betting website that that Biden turns herund
and says, hey, Donald is great to see you. Come on,
let's have lunch. I mean, I don't think lunch is
on the schedule. I think the meeting is scheduled, but
(24:18):
I don't know that lunch is on the schedule. So
the question will.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Be, well, I think that depends how much Jill is involved.
Did you see the suit she wore when she went
to vote yes?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It was a very red suit carry.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yes, And somehow Biden got to get to Kamala hervy
to any of them wanted to, and so I think
she's a little bit on the revenge to her. So
I think it will go quite well, and I think
it will be quite charitable. And he may say for
lunch if Biden wants, I mean, I if Trump wants to.
But yeah, I don't know. Well, I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Going to be.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Don't think it'll be what.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I don't think it'll be acrimonious by any means.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Oh no, no, no, it was going to be acrimonious,
would be first of all, Uh, there's no reason that
that the president.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, exactly, I mean so.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
And and by the way, you got to give Biden credit.
He was not extended the courtesy by Donald Trump. Obviously
the circumstances were quite different.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Does he remember that though.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I suspect he probably does. To be honest with you,
I mean, I know what you're saying, but I think
that probably sticks in his mind. We'll we'll see. I'm
I'm gonna be fascinated by it, what they say. And
obviously they'll do the the the walk in the room,
sit down in the two chairs, shake the hands, How
(25:42):
are you, how are you? Thank you? For the invitation,
thank you for coming, and then the what the what
the White House the Biden pressed me, thank you, thank you,
time to be lieve, let's go. And of course they
will be shouting questions. You'll hear the the the barking
dogs of the White House media, and they'll be failing questions,
so that neither President Biden or former President Trump will
(26:05):
even hear what was being asked. I think it's yeah,
but it's great that that, unlike other countries around the world,
we have something like that tomorrow. I mean that seriously.
I don't I don't want to, you know, get you know,
romantic over it, but I think there's something very nice
(26:27):
about that and reassuring. I wish it had happened four
years ago, but it will happen tomorrow. So let's see.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Well, and before you're I mean cod and codin COVID.
COVID screwed us up so many years ago that everybody
screwed up, even Trump was from I think Medica Agency
was taking and everything else.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
I think it's going to be longer than just a handshake.
I think Biden will get into it and be into
the the pomp and circumstance unless his wife doesn't let him.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
What I'm saying is that, you know, Joe Biden will
be sitting there. The cameras will be turned off. They'll
show pictures of Donald Trump. Maybe he greets him at
the front door, Maybe he doesn't. Maybe I don't know.
It's just to be interesting how the protocol will play out.
I'm looking to see the protocol. Does he greet him
at the front door, do they walk down the corridor together?
I assume it will be in that meeting room where
(27:16):
normally the president receives guests. Does and again, if it
is a thing where Donald Trump walks into the room
and President Biden is there, stands up and says welcome
back or whatever he says, you know that. That'll go
for about ten seconds, some platitudes back and forth, and
then the White House media first people will okay, cameras off,
(27:42):
thank you very much, thank you very much, and then
we'll hear from them later. We'll hear from Trump later
he meets apparently he's gonna meet with the Republican members
of Congress up at the Capitol before he goes to
the White House. So it's one of those great days
we can look as Americans and say, hey, this ended peacefully.
(28:03):
I mean it really is.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Will be more friendly because Jill is going to make
him be more friendly because he's really ticked off at
the people who put him out of office. That's my
my girls for politics thing. I'm thinking that he's going
to be more friendly because she's gonna make him to
be more friendly. She's really ticked off.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Well, well do you know that missus Trump Malania is
not going to the White.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
House with their I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, and she and she's upset that they when they
rated Mari Lago that apparently they they trifled with some
of her personal items.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
If you get my drift, I don't even want to go.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
No, no, no, they supposedly the complaint. The complaint was
that they went and they searched the private.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Quarters her personal her personal residence there exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah. Yeah, so that's that's that's the side story.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I I think I think Jill Biden has more more
control over Joe Biden in this thing. She's gonna she's
gonna be happy if he's like friendly and great and
wonderful to the Donald coming in because she is so
mad at what the Papa Masters did.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Well, I think, I think again, we still need to
get the story of who was behind the plan to
move Joe out of the out of the.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Nomination out of them, we don't know, but she's probably
pretty ticket whoever you're gonna mind, I think.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
She's can be friendly to Trump.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
So okay, thanks Laurie, it's always your thanks.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Let me go to bill and Pennsylvania Billia next on
NIGHTSID welcome.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Oh thanks, man, Hey, I just want to give you
a rundown what I'm hearing down here in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
The first big news was that the Democrat vote coming
out of Philadelphia around the area of Philadosia was down
about twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I've heard that.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
The second information that's coming out is that this is
one of the I think basically the first election okay,
that the Menna Nights and the they okay, had an
effect on the vote, on the popular vote, which is
really something when you think about rural Pennsylvania. Yeah, you know,
it's always been It's always been Philadelphia, Allentown and Pittsburgh
(30:13):
and then the rest of the state. Well, yes, if
rural Pennsylvania Okay, is getting involved in these in these elections?
All right, that's a big, big deal here in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Well, let me ask you this. I saw I saw
a piece last week that said the Trump campaign actually,
you know, campaigned and they went and they asked the
Amish and the Mennonites to vote. I don't know the
difference between the Amish and the Mennonites, but obviously they
are they they use horse and buggy. They don't use cars,
and there's all sorts of you know, electrical appliances that
(30:47):
they don't use. But have they in prior elections? Have
they not got involved? Is this the first election that
they voted in mass.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Or Well they're they're trying to figure that out. But anyways,
you know it so for those people, uh, it depends
on what their bishop tells them.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Dan. If their bishop says, you know, you guys should
go out and vote, that will vote.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay. Well the reason the reason I say that is
I'm assuming that unless they applied for votes by mail
and they mailed the ballots in that on election day,
they should. Those people, the Mennonites in the Amish, you know,
dress in very distinctive fashion. You think that they would
have seen people walking in and out of voting locations.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Well, I don't need Yeah, they're putting it together now,
but that's what we're hearing now. I think what really
turned everybody. There's a lot of people who are sitting
on the fence, even up to the last couple of days.
And what I think what really that those ads that
we saw Kamala Okay in her own words saying about
(31:56):
the you know trans if you're in jail and your
trans you should get we should pay for your sex change.
That that was a big one. And the other one
was people people down here, Okay are watching before the
you know, way back when, watching how bad Joe was,
and they and the Democrats keep saying, oh, he's sharp
(32:16):
as attacks. So that had a big effect. And I
just think that what's gonna be interesting for me is
when Donald takes his hand off the Bible and I
think maybe right there at the podium, okay and his
he's going to pardon himself and his family and mostly
will be most of the Jay six inmates.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
And did you're talking about uh Trump?
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Yeah, I thought talking about Trump pardons.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I think that would be huge. No, first of all,
first of all, I think most of the he certainly,
I think most of the federal charges are going to
be dropped. I think that those those charges will go away.
He will not have to pardon himself on those, and
I think that Judge Marshawn is smart. He will vacate
the the guilty verdict. The only case that still might
(33:07):
be open is the Atlantic case, and that one is
the weakest of them all. In my opinion, I hope
that he does not pardon the j six defendants because
I think that is some of the maybe cases where
there was a misapplication of justice, but people who smashed
(33:29):
windows at the Capitol, that's way over the top. Bill.
I mean, that would be a huge mistake, a huge mistake.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
I'm gonna Yeah, in the past, he said he's going
to do it, so I think he's gonna do it,
and I think he's gonna. I think he's going to
give himself a pardon and his family a pardon, because
remember they were going after both of his sons and
and uh and all that all that uh stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
The Trump well, he has four years to give himself
a pardon if he wants to number one and number
two whatever that his sons might have been investigated on
the statute of limitations might expire in the meantime, So
we'll see, well, ye know, we'll we'll we'll see. I
will remember it. And if he does it that way,
I want you to call and take a victory leap.
I got to run here because they got a bunch
(34:14):
of calls behind us, and I got to give everybody
a shot.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Thanks than you need you.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. We'll take a
quick break, joe In, Alex and Kristen. We will get
you in. I promise gonna be a little bit tighter
on time, but we'll get you in.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
And if anybody else wants to try, give it a shot.
Six one seven, six one seven. I have two lines open,
one on each of those numbers. Give it a shot.
If you get in, great. If you don't, that's your problem,
not mine. Coming back on night.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Side now bent to Dan Ray Mine from the window
World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Okay, let's run the table here as we say, Alex
and Millis Alex next all nights.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
I go ahead, Hey, good eating, Dn, think uh, the
meaning will go pretty cordial. I wanted to say one thing.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
I ran.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
I ran into our neighbor that lives on the other side,
and she commented me on on my on my signs
on my lawn. Although you said, I wish I had
done that, but I was afraid of my neighbors. So
till this day, people still you know, we're not We're
not as united as you would think. Uh, you know,
(35:26):
they hold they hold the crude. I don't know if
that's gonna last, but uh, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Well I think it's gonna I think there would be
some people who will never forgive. I don't know what's
wrong with your radio there, but need to turn that
radio down.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Okay, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Think tells people that you're in the radio down right.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
I'm in the bad with me at the firmas sorry
about that. You what it was the furness kicking on
opened before.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
We just got a bad kndation, Alice, And I'm sorry,
I have no idea where you're calling from. But try
it again another time. Okay, thanks, Alex, appreciate it. Uh look, look, look, folks,
they're trying to run a radio show here so that
people can hear what's going on. And Rob, what was
the problem with that? Phone call. Yep, no problem. They
(36:20):
go to joe In and in Waltham joe In next
on nights. I sorry, Alex, was just it was indecipherable
what you were saying. Go ahead, joe In.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
Good to hear you, great.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Joe In, go right ahead. What's your take on all
of this?
Speaker 8 (36:36):
Well, as far as these movie stars and singers, will
anyone even notice if they leave the country?
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Oh? I suspect some of them have a pretty high
level notoriety. I mean, I think that if Barber starts
saying word to leave, people would notice that. I don't
think people would particularly.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yeah, but would they care?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
No, I don't think so. But I mean I think that, Gee,
if Barbara Sid wanted to make a great and exit
as she said and moved to is what she told
the CBS Late nine show show host. I forget his name.
I actually repressed his name in my mind. No, I
don't know. I mean that we'll have to see these
(37:18):
these threats have been made before. So far nobody has
left the best pology if there is.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
No, I think of them already have places in Europe
and you know.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
No, but I'm talking about giving I'm talking about giving
up your citizenship. I'm not talking about like absenting yourself
for six months and going to uhha A, Aruba and
spending six months in Aruba. I'm talking about actually saying, hey,
I I I'm leaving. I'm so disgusted as an American.
I'm I'm I'm surrendering my citizenship and I'm going to
(37:52):
become a citizen of another country if if they'll have me.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
I don't know, and I have to tell you. At
two in the morning on election night, when Trump and
the family came out and they played, you know, proud
to be an American, I brushed out crying.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well, I know, I.
Speaker 8 (38:14):
Just well, I just it was like all that tension
and pressure of four years was released, and I finally,
unlike Americans, get it. I was so proud that American
people saw what was going on with the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
It's a fifty to fifty election, and the Republicans can't
sit back in their laurels. The Republicans have to do
a good job.
Speaker 8 (38:46):
You'll, yeah, I know, but he did get more than
you know, he got the majority, more than a good majority.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
You know, he got fifty two fifty point two percent.
At this point of the popular vote, fifty two, right precisely.
Now he did better in terms of the electoral college,
and that's that's that's important as well, Joanne, I hate
to quimp you here, but I got Christine in Deim.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
I'd like to give her about find Okay.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Call more often when I miss hearing from you. Thank you,
good night, Christine. Gonna, Well, how much time we got here, Rob?
What are we looking at it? Two minutes? Okay, I
got a minute for you, Christine, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Okay. I think I think today it's going to be
a chilly reception at the White House.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Oh you think it's going to be a little frosty
huh Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I don't think they'll shake hands, are all? I really don't.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Oh they will, I'll bet you uh an ice cream cone?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, I'll shake.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
They will have look the one whoever off is it? Look?
I think those shake hands. I do remember, uh Kamala
Harris and President Trump, President like Trump shook hands after
their debate, or actually before their debate, if you remember,
she kind of went over to Yeah, so I think
they'll shake. I think they'll shake. I think it'll be
(40:12):
friendlier than people realize. In my opinion, we'll see. Okay,
well I'm if if it's really chilly, I am going
to give you all the credit in the world.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
Okay, okay, all right, thanks Christine, all.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
Right, talk to you soon.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
And share.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Okay. I don't think she's gonna go. Thanks Christine, talk
to you soon. We're done for the night. I am
set up to go on Facebook Live Nights Out with
Dan Ray immediately after the show. I'm going to be
there pronto. I want to thank Rob Brooks, want to
thank Marita, want to thank the callers, especially all the listeners.
I'll remind you as always, all dogs, all cats, all
(40:59):
pets go to heap and that's what my pal Charlie
Ray is, who passed fourteen years ago in February. That's
where all your pets are who would pass. They loved
you and you love them. I do believe you'll see
them again. Hope to see again tomorrow night on Nightside.
We will have reaction to the Trump Biden meeting tomorrow
at the White House tomorrow night. I promise, thank you everybody.
See you on Facebook in about ten seconds,
It's night.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Une Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
By the way, this is going to be the last
call for Paul. Paul a week ago. Last night, you
were the closest predictor of the number of electoral votes
that the winning presidential candidate would achieve. And we now
have made two or three shoutouts for you. So I'm
(00:28):
going to do one more and tomorrow night we will
pick the second closest winner. UH, and so you will.
You will not get the prize that if you call tonight.
Let's just call Rob uh and you you picked Donald
Trump with three hundred and fifteen electoral votes. You were
(00:50):
off by three. I'd like to get the the night
Side tope bag to you, but I'm not going to
keep uh. If that was just the one time only,
you're gonna you happen to listen to us. And he
made a lucky guest, so be it. But we'll give
you another one more night. If if someone knows Paul
in South Boston as a regular nights I caller, I
(01:12):
don't know that he is, but if he is, he
needs to call Rob and let him know who he is,
and we'll we'll get him the dope back. Simple as
that congratulations, Paul. I think waiting in the wings will
be Pelvis from Middleton. Paul was three votes away, Pelvis
(01:33):
was five votes away. So Pelvis, we may be calling
your name tomorrow night. All right, we are talking about
the election. We're talking about some people who are quite
upset with it, some of the stars from Hollywood, some
of whom have threatened to leave. Now tomorrow, I guess
just before lunchtime, former President Trump meets with current President
(01:59):
by at the White House. I think it's going to
be interesting whether or not it's a friendly meeting. I
hope it will be, and who knows. The way it's
set up, maybe President Biden will invite him to have lunch.
I don't know, we'll see. My hat's off to Joe
Biden for holding this meeting. He did not have the
benefit of a meeting with Donald Trump in twenty twenty.
(02:21):
So we're at least getting back to some sense of
normalcy or normality, whichever word you'd like to use in
the meantime, getting your reaction to what's been transpiring. And
let me go to David san Antonio. Dave, welcome, you
are back here on nightside. Go ahead, sir, Hi David.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Good evening, Dan, Are you hearing me?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Well, you always ask me that question and my answer
is always the same. I hear you.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Fine, Good, that's great. I just remembered a long time
ago you told me to call you when I want
to discuss the vik Ramaswami again.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Please don't, please, don't kill my audience. But go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, I I mean I.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Was You know, if you want to mention that he's
going to be involved in the administration, that's great, But
I certainly don't want to devote a lot of time
and effort to, you know, someone in the there's a
lot of people to talk about. What do you want
to say?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Go ahead, Well, you said you would admit you was wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well tell me what I was wrong about? Did I
did I tell you that that he was going to
win the presidency? Or what? What? Did what did I
tell you?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You told me that I told you that he was
going to be very important in the administration. He said,
he's hardly known at all, And don't you know? And
and well he hardly know.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
How How well did he do in the in the primary?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Not very well?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Not very well? Yeah, And when was our conversation? If
I could ask if you I mean, I remember.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
The Iowa before Iowa.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Okay, so so before Iowa. Let's see how long did
it take before he dropped out?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He dropped out after Iowa?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, okay, so I think I was right in that point.
But if he gets a position in the administration, he's
a smart guy, Dave, He's a smart, very smart guy,
self made business man. I'll give you all that credit,
But I think that the conversation we had was how
well he was going to do? At least that's my
recollection of it. Did you think he was going to
win the nomination?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, I thought he was going to get the vice presidency.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Okay, well I didn't, so I'll take I'll take the
win on that there. But well we were Do you
know do.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You know who I predict me?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Do you know who I predicted? You listen a lot.
You know I said it would be the vice president.
Do you know who it was it was? I said
on this air And people will tell you that that
this was This was probably I'm guessing a long about June.
(04:57):
I could have to go back and look at but
Rob will tell you I said it would be jd Vance.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Well, there you're going and the reason I thought.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That, the reason I thought that was Vance has an
incredible story of survival. He came a really difficult situation.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
JD. Vance has had three last names in his life.
Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I just you know, he had a very difficult life.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, his first name was Bowman, Okay, so his dad's
Bowman bow m a n and then his mom married
another guy. And I can look it up for you
if you want, but it's something that the average person
doesn't realize. As matter of fact, I'm going to do
it for you because you're a you're a good caller
right now. I was done to find that out. He
(05:43):
was not born JD. Vance, Okay, And it is indicative
of what a difficult life, you know, he had. He's
only forty years old. Went to Ohio State. He was
born James Donald Bowman August second of nineteen eighty four, okay,
(06:06):
and then his mom married. He was born in Middleton, Ohio,
to his mom, who was a Vance, and Donald Ray Bowman,
who died in twenty twenty three. His parents divorced and
who's a toddler. After Bowman was adopted by his mother's
(06:27):
third husband, Bob Hammill. His mother changed his name to
James David Hammill to remove the father's name while using
his uncle name to preserve the nickname j D. And
then and then she married I guess she married someone
(06:48):
who she then gave him her family name, which was JD. Vance.
So this is a guy who's had three last names,
born into object poverty. Yeah, so that's you know, I mean,
give him credit, its credit is due. It's I kind
of imagine. I you know, I don't know what your
background is, but that's a pretty non traditional background. To be.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Sure, I've only had one last name in my life.
I've had two first names. I've had two first names.
I had to tell you. I was given a Jewish
name first, but they wouldn't let me take it to
the Catholic church. So I got the name David.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You got to be named after a saint, I guess,
if I'm not mistaken, was named after Daniel in the
lions Den.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And at first, at first my mother named me Falk
f Alk it was the last name of a Jewish
family Inschwitz. That guy didn't make it out, and out
of sympathy, she gave me that as a first name.
And when she went to baptize me as Catholic because
my dad became Catholic also, and you know, they wouldn't
(07:56):
let me be named f Alk Falk, so I took
the name David.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I think they've loosened up a little bit on that
now recently. David. Always great to you, you voice my
friend again.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I just called to tell you something that you Cary.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Let me tell you something, Okay. If I if Alex
Jones is the next White House Press Secretary, I will
fly to San Antonio, Texas, and I will genuine flect
in front of you. He is a nut job. You
know who's going to be the next White House Press secretary.
The woman who is the press secretary on the campaign,
(08:32):
Carolyn Levitt, who's from New Hampshire. Young woman. She ran
for Congress in New Hampshire in twenty twenty two. She
had the Republican nomination and she lost to Congressman Papace
in New Hampshire. Take that one to the bank. Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
They were also talking about Laura Lomer.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well whatever, I don't know who Laura Lomer is, but
I'll you know again, j D. This guy Jones, I mean,
he's anathema. He has done more damage to people here
in New England with his lies about what happened. He's
he's a huge, He's a he's a he's a he
(09:15):
is a he is a guy who has made blood
money and he's lost that blood money now. Thank God
to the parents. Gotta go, Dave, do me a favor.
I don't want to ever hear his name. Pass your
lips again. That's how deeply I feel about that. Okay,
thanks Dave, talking good night.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
A man.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Look, I I allow all points of view, but that
guy is is lower than he is. He is a snake. Okay,
he's a snake and he has gotten everything that he deserves.
He's nothing but a phony. He's a The words that
(10:05):
come to mind I cannot use on the radio. We'll
be back on night side. Feel free join the conversation.
My blood pressure will be down by time I come back.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World,

strong feelings about that guy who who harassed and the
new Town parents.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Can Yes, it's a new day. We could all breathe freely. Now.
I've never I'm fifty years old. I've never seen an
election in my lifetime create so much stress amongst people
with one side or the other.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Yeah, and I can, yeah, I can be I can
understand that. And I'll tell you why. I mean, there
were a lot of people in the Trump camp who
were convinced, either they convinced themselves or they were convinced
that the twenty twenty election was stolen. And I think
that that this election gave lie to that. Donald Trump
(11:22):
ran a better campaign than the vice pop Yes, uh,
and the issues were better for him. He you know again,
he he had a lot of mistakes in the first
in his first administration. If he if he repeats those mistakes,
then then he'll suffer a similar consequence he has. You
don't often get a chance at that level, a second opportunity,
(11:46):
do you know what I'm saying, Well or not?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
And there's only one in history where that's ever occurred.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Again, and most people don't know much about growth Cleveland,
and they know less about Benjamin Harrison, the guy that
beat him the first time, I mean Benjamin Hair and again,
you know, to be.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Honest, for you when you just said that name, that
was the first time I can remember hearing it, like,
you know, but he's undred percent. But I do believe
he's setting himself up with success. He's putting right out
of the right places. And I would rather pay a
(12:26):
dollar eighty eight a gallon for gas in three eighty
eight or four eighty eight in the right down the line.
And I just you know, I just feel that America
made the right choice in the America spoken volumes.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I mean again, he you know, he succeeded in twenty
twenty four where he failed in twenty twenty. Uh And
I'm not in any I don't even want to talk
about the twenty twenty election because it's been literated. I
think he made a huge mistake bring those people together
in Washington on January sixth, with the language have stopped
(13:03):
to steal and all of that is great.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I will tell you. I did chuckle a little bit
when I saw the results from DC and it was
Kamilla Harris like ninety six.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yeah, no, I understand that, and I led up. I
think when Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale forty nine to
one in nineteen eighty four. Mondale did carry his own
home state of Minnesota, and he carried the District of
Columbia when Nixon beat McGovern And remember we had the
(13:39):
bumper strips up here. Don't blame me, I'm from millions. Yes, Massachusetts,
he also won the District of Columbia. I just think
that there's a lot of people in the District of
Columbia who are Democrat. As a solidly Democratic district, they
do get three members in Congress, although they do not vote.
(14:01):
They're not voting members of Congress. There are three representatives
of the District of Columbia, which is probably why the
District of Columbia never should become a state, by the way,
because it's a small little area. It was designed to
be a non state because that.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Was Nona exactly. And all of a sudden, I think
a lot of people are breather of a better breath
ofrea today than they were last week.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Well, some people are. There's a lot of people who
are very disappointed on the other side, and a lot
of people on the other side. And by the way,
we've talked about Seth Molton. I hope to have him
on either Tomorrow night or Thursday night. He's he now
is sort of the skunk at the garden party for
the Democrats because he raised some issues that he thinks
the party should talk about. And it's one of these
(14:47):
things where the party is is not learning from their
mistakes and they're saying, well, you shouldn't even raise that issue.
And look, that's an issue that probably helped Trump. Trump
use that issue. Do you know that Harris had a
billion dollars in.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, that she spent in weeks and weeks she raised
a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, yeah, and it was almost as if they had
so much money. I'm still trying to track down, uh,
and I really don't want to go there. But but
there's been some talk that some of the entertainers that
appeared and endorsed her they were paid for their adherence.
Now I understand that maybe in their head they're going
to say, well, I'm gonna go endorse the candidacy, but
(15:30):
but I'm also going to say sing some songs. I
want to find that out when when all of those
filings are made, because if any of those entertainers took
money from the campaign.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, yeah, that's the lot. I have a lot of
friends of mine right now, Dan, that are saying Robert
de Niro was dead. To me, I'll love a watching
of a movie he's never been in. He chose to make,
he chose to make some serious statements.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
He was he was pretty vituperative. I mean, but he
obviously feels that way. He's he lives in a country
where where you have the right to say that, and
he has the ability to say that, and and he
he will not miss a meal by having said it,
you know. So it's let's sell it.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's the United States. You have freedom of speech, and
thank god we have that. You bet than we maintained that.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
You bet. Your your a voice of sanity. I'm the
voice of reason, but your a voice of sanity. Thank you, man.
I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Call you are you are the voice of reason. Dan,
always a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Thanks, Thanks buddy, Touch you soon. Let's go to Joe
in waitmouth, Joe, there's no nice I appreciate you calling in.
Get you in here before the newscast at the bottom
of the hour.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Absolutely, thank you for pritiiculing my call. I'll be quick.
I I don't what's that?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
What's that you're talk in the background. You sound like
you're riding in a in a horse drawn carriage for
a moment.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Sorry, that's my directionals in my truck. Okay, I shut
them off for you. I'm I won't be sorry to
see anybody leaves that doesn't think that they need to
be here anymore. Trump is and I think maybe we
(17:21):
could solve the housing crisis also if that happens.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Very very good point, very good point. I mean, some
of the celebrities who are threatening to leave or have
threatened to leave, they live in big, big houses. Maybe
we could turn them into public housing or something.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And and.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Absolutely we need to, you know, think about other things.
And it just does I mean, it doesn't make a
lot of people happy that mister Trump is president elect,
but it gives us the thought that we have four
years to figure out that of all the people in
(18:07):
this country, we've got to be able to find at
least two people that are qualified to run for president.
This was just awful.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, well, I mean, look, we'll see what happens. He
did not have a great first term, particularly after COVID hit.
Now that's an unexpected surprise, so you give give him
a little bit of flexibility there. He did some really
dumb things and and I know f be upset that
(18:39):
I would say that he you know, some of the
phone calls that he made. I just don't want to
go all there. I'm willing to wipe this slight clean.
Let's see who he appoints. I thought that he made
an appointment today which I think was a good one,
and that was Mike Huckabee as the ambassador to Israel.
(19:03):
How could he happens to be Christian? But I think
that he would be well received in Israel. He's been
a big supporter of Israel as I am. I think
that's a good appointment.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Yes, that that sounded good to me when I heard that.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Also, Yeah, let's see what Let's see what happens. I
know that the Democrats are putting some pressure on Justice.
So Tamayor, who's only seventy years of age, which is
you know, in terms of Supreme Court justice, is fairly young.
She's been there for a while, but there are some
Democrats that want to get her out so that this
(19:39):
Congress can President Biden would have a chance to nominate it.
I think that's wrong. I think that's wrong. The pressure
was being brought brought to bear on her. You know,
let's see how it all plays out here. I was
happy to see that Senator Schumer today relented and allowed
the Senator elect from Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, to participate in
(20:03):
the uh the first day for new senators in Washington,
the orientation session. I thought that was a good thing. Look,
let's let's see how how this evolves. I mean, Donald
Trump has has a second chance to make a first impression.
(20:27):
You bet you at that level, you'd be like if
you want to have an interview for a new job,
and you during the interview you throw up on your shoes.
You're so nervous. The next time you get a second
chance to goin and you're very composed and you handle it. Well,
good for you. So let's see what happens. That's that's all.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Well, we we just have to give everybody a chance,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah. I mean, Joe I said through for four years,
Joe Biden was my president because we all have one president.
And there were a lot of my my listeners who
are upset about that. But I think every American and
there'll be there'll be people on the other side of
Donald Trump's not my president. That's not what this country
is supposed to be about. We're democracy. The majority of
(21:15):
people have voted. Now if President Trump makes mistakes.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Oh absolutely, that's we only have one president. You have
to respect the office. You don't have to respect the
person in the office.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah. And and I hope that that that judge down
in New York one merchand does the right thing and
says this case is over, because that stuff should not be.
I don't want that stuff hanging over his head. That
was a political prosecution in the first place, in my opinion, and.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
I think that's a pretty widely held opinion.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Let's see what happens.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
Let's see what happens.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Joe, great to talk with you. I enjoy the conversation.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 6 (22:01):
Dan. All Right, have a good nay, have.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
A safe trip home. Good night. We'll take a quick
break eleven thirty here at the bottom of the hour.
I've got a bunch of calls and I'm gonna be
talking with uh Laurie and Idaho. Always a pleasure. Bill
in Pennsylvania, Alex and Joeann and Waltham and I have
one one line open and it is this six coming
(22:26):
right back on night Side.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Okay, let's get back to the phone. It's gonna go
to Laurie Idaho. Laurie, welcome back. How are you?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I'm good, No snow yet, Thank you very much. So
I'm going to start out with just a little bit
of humor. Maybe you're was it? Was it Paul the
Bay guy? Maybe he's already even snagged by Biden for
a position in the station. All right, I mean, and uh,
excuse me, Trump for a position administration.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I don't know. Maybe, I mean he hit the he
hit the he was three three electoral votes away, so
you got to give the guy some credit. But I
don't know where he is. Dope, Bak's going to go
to someone else. I'm going to give it. IM going
to send that out to you. No, we'll we'll get
it to whoever it was second closest, unfortunately for Paul.
(23:21):
So what do you think about?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
What?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
How's the lunch going? How is the meeting at the
White House going to go tomorrow? In your opinion? I
think this before you know.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Well, So here's my thing with experience with people with dementia.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
They have no guile.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So as far as Biden goes, it's going to be fine.
Up well, and then I'm not being and then I'm
not being demeaning. At any point, it's going to be fine.
He's going to be genuine to the point he can be,
and I think it's going to go okay, And so
it because that's well, he's also a career politician. That's
in his blood.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh absolutely, no, no, no. But my question is it
supposedly is the meeting is before lunch? What do you
think the chances are we should put this on some
sort of a betting website that that Biden turns herund
and says, hey, Donald is great to see you. Come on,
let's have lunch. I mean, I don't think lunch is
on the schedule. I think the meeting is scheduled, but
(24:18):
I don't know that lunch is on the schedule. So
the question will.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Be, well, I think that depends how much Jill is involved.
Did you see the suit she wore when she went
to vote yes?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It was a very red suit carry.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yes, And somehow Biden got to get to Kamala hervy
to any of them wanted to, and so I think
she's a little bit on the revenge to her. So
I think it will go quite well, and I think
it will be quite charitable. And he may say for
lunch if Biden wants, I mean, I if Trump wants to.
But yeah, I don't know. Well, I don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Going to be.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Don't think it'll be what.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I don't think it'll be acrimonious by any means.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Oh no, no, no, it was going to be acrimonious,
would be first of all, Uh, there's no reason that
that the president.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, exactly, I mean so.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
And and by the way, you got to give Biden credit.
He was not extended the courtesy by Donald Trump. Obviously
the circumstances were quite different.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Does he remember that though.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I suspect he probably does. To be honest with you,
I mean, I know what you're saying, but I think
that probably sticks in his mind. We'll we'll see. I'm
I'm gonna be fascinated by it, what they say. And
obviously they'll do the the the walk in the room,
sit down in the two chairs, shake the hands, How
(25:42):
are you, how are you? Thank you? For the invitation,
thank you for coming, and then the what the what
the White House the Biden pressed me, thank you, thank you,
time to be lieve, let's go. And of course they
will be shouting questions. You'll hear the the the barking
dogs of the White House media, and they'll be failing questions,
so that neither President Biden or former President Trump will
(26:05):
even hear what was being asked. I think it's yeah,
but it's great that that, unlike other countries around the world,
we have something like that tomorrow. I mean that seriously.
I don't I don't want to, you know, get you know,
romantic over it, but I think there's something very nice
(26:27):
about that and reassuring. I wish it had happened four
years ago, but it will happen tomorrow. So let's see.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Well, and before you're I mean cod and codin COVID.
COVID screwed us up so many years ago that everybody
screwed up, even Trump was from I think Medica Agency
was taking and everything else.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
I think it's going to be longer than just a handshake.
I think Biden will get into it and be into
the the pomp and circumstance unless his wife doesn't let him.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
What I'm saying is that, you know, Joe Biden will
be sitting there. The cameras will be turned off. They'll
show pictures of Donald Trump. Maybe he greets him at
the front door, Maybe he doesn't. Maybe I don't know.
It's just to be interesting how the protocol will play out.
I'm looking to see the protocol. Does he greet him
at the front door, do they walk down the corridor together?
I assume it will be in that meeting room where
(27:16):
normally the president receives guests. Does and again, if it
is a thing where Donald Trump walks into the room
and President Biden is there, stands up and says welcome
back or whatever he says, you know that. That'll go
for about ten seconds, some platitudes back and forth, and
then the White House media first people will okay, cameras off,
(27:42):
thank you very much, thank you very much, and then
we'll hear from them later. We'll hear from Trump later
he meets apparently he's gonna meet with the Republican members
of Congress up at the Capitol before he goes to
the White House. So it's one of those great days
we can look as Americans and say, hey, this ended peacefully.
(28:03):
I mean it really is.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Will be more friendly because Jill is going to make
him be more friendly because he's really ticked off at
the people who put him out of office. That's my
my girls for politics thing. I'm thinking that he's going
to be more friendly because she's gonna make him to
be more friendly. She's really ticked off.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Well, well do you know that missus Trump Malania is
not going to the White.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
House with their I'm not surprised at all.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, and she and she's upset that they when they
rated Mari Lago that apparently they they trifled with some
of her personal items.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
If you get my drift, I don't even want to go.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
No, no, no, they supposedly the complaint. The complaint was
that they went and they searched the private.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Quarters her personal her personal residence there exactly.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah. Yeah, so that's that's that's the side story.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Now.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I I think I think Jill Biden has more more
control over Joe Biden in this thing. She's gonna she's
gonna be happy if he's like friendly and great and
wonderful to the Donald coming in because she is so
mad at what the Papa Masters did.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Well, I think, I think again, we still need to
get the story of who was behind the plan to
move Joe out of the out of the.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Nomination out of them, we don't know, but she's probably
pretty ticket whoever you're gonna mind, I think.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
She's can be friendly to Trump.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
So okay, thanks Laurie, it's always your thanks.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Let me go to bill and Pennsylvania Billia next on
NIGHTSID welcome.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Oh thanks, man, Hey, I just want to give you
a rundown what I'm hearing down here in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
The first big news was that the Democrat vote coming
out of Philadelphia around the area of Philadosia was down
about twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I've heard that.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
The second information that's coming out is that this is
one of the I think basically the first election okay,
that the Menna Nights and the they okay, had an
effect on the vote, on the popular vote, which is
really something when you think about rural Pennsylvania. Yeah, you know,
it's always been It's always been Philadelphia, Allentown and Pittsburgh
(30:13):
and then the rest of the state. Well, yes, if
rural Pennsylvania Okay, is getting involved in these in these elections?
All right, that's a big, big deal here in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Well, let me ask you this. I saw I saw
a piece last week that said the Trump campaign actually,
you know, campaigned and they went and they asked the
Amish and the Mennonites to vote. I don't know the
difference between the Amish and the Mennonites, but obviously they
are they they use horse and buggy. They don't use cars,
and there's all sorts of you know, electrical appliances that
(30:47):
they don't use. But have they in prior elections? Have
they not got involved? Is this the first election that
they voted in mass.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Or Well they're they're trying to figure that out. But anyways,
you know it so for those people, uh, it depends
on what their bishop tells them.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Dan. If their bishop says, you know, you guys should
go out and vote, that will vote.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay. Well the reason the reason I say that is
I'm assuming that unless they applied for votes by mail
and they mailed the ballots in that on election day,
they should. Those people, the Mennonites in the Amish, you know,
dress in very distinctive fashion. You think that they would
have seen people walking in and out of voting locations.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
Well, I don't need Yeah, they're putting it together now,
but that's what we're hearing now. I think what really
turned everybody. There's a lot of people who are sitting
on the fence, even up to the last couple of days.
And what I think what really that those ads that
we saw Kamala Okay in her own words saying about
(31:56):
the you know trans if you're in jail and your
trans you should get we should pay for your sex change.
That that was a big one. And the other one
was people people down here, Okay are watching before the
you know, way back when, watching how bad Joe was,
and they and the Democrats keep saying, oh, he's sharp
(32:16):
as attacks. So that had a big effect. And I
just think that what's gonna be interesting for me is
when Donald takes his hand off the Bible and I
think maybe right there at the podium, okay and his
he's going to pardon himself and his family and mostly
will be most of the Jay six inmates.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
And did you're talking about uh Trump?
Speaker 7 (32:44):
Yeah, I thought talking about Trump pardons.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
I think that would be huge. No, first of all,
first of all, I think most of the he certainly,
I think most of the federal charges are going to
be dropped. I think that those those charges will go away.
He will not have to pardon himself on those, and
I think that Judge Marshawn is smart. He will vacate
the the guilty verdict. The only case that still might
(33:07):
be open is the Atlantic case, and that one is
the weakest of them all. In my opinion, I hope
that he does not pardon the j six defendants because
I think that is some of the maybe cases where
there was a misapplication of justice, but people who smashed
(33:29):
windows at the Capitol, that's way over the top. Bill.
I mean, that would be a huge mistake, a huge mistake.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
I'm gonna Yeah, in the past, he said he's going
to do it, so I think he's gonna do it,
and I think he's gonna. I think he's going to
give himself a pardon and his family a pardon, because
remember they were going after both of his sons and
and uh and all that all that uh stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
The Trump well, he has four years to give himself
a pardon if he wants to number one and number
two whatever that his sons might have been investigated on
the statute of limitations might expire in the meantime, So
we'll see, well, ye know, we'll we'll we'll see. I
will remember it. And if he does it that way,
I want you to call and take a victory leap.
I got to run here because they got a bunch
(34:14):
of calls behind us, and I got to give everybody
a shot.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Thanks than you need you.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. We'll take a
quick break, joe In, Alex and Kristen. We will get
you in. I promise gonna be a little bit tighter

I ran into our neighbor that lives on the other side,
and she commented me on on my on my signs

done that, but I was afraid of my neighbors. So
till this day, people still you know, we're not We're
not as united as you would think. Uh, you know,
(35:26):
they hold they hold the crude. I don't know if
that's gonna last, but uh, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Well I think it's gonna I think there would be
some people who will never forgive. I don't know what's
wrong with your radio there, but need to turn that
radio down.
Speaker 7 (35:43):
Okay, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Think tells people that you're in the radio down right.
Speaker 7 (35:48):

Oh? I suspect some of them have a pretty high
level notoriety. I mean, I think that if Barber starts
saying word to leave, people would notice that. I don't
think people would particularly.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yeah, but would they care?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
No, I don't think so. But I mean I think that, Gee,
if Barbara Sid wanted to make a great and exit
as she said and moved to is what she told
the CBS Late nine show show host. I forget his name.
I actually repressed his name in my mind. No, I
don't know. I mean that we'll have to see these
(37:18):
these threats have been made before. So far nobody has
left the best pology if there is.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
No, I think of them already have places in Europe
and you know.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
No, but I'm talking about giving I'm talking about giving
up your citizenship. I'm not talking about like absenting yourself
for six months and going to uhha A, Aruba and
spending six months in Aruba. I'm talking about actually saying, hey,
I I I'm leaving. I'm so disgusted as an American.
I'm I'm I'm surrendering my citizenship and I'm going to
(37:52):
become a citizen of another country if if they'll have me.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
I don't know, and I have to tell you. At
two in the morning on election night, when Trump and
the family came out and they played, you know, proud
to be an American, I brushed out crying.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well, I know, I.
Speaker 8 (38:14):
Just well, I just it was like all that tension
and pressure of four years was released, and I finally,
unlike Americans, get it. I was so proud that American
people saw what was going on with the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
It's a fifty to fifty election, and the Republicans can't
sit back in their laurels. The Republicans have to do
a good job.
Speaker 8 (38:46):
You'll, yeah, I know, but he did get more than
you know, he got the majority, more than a good majority.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
You know, he got fifty two fifty point two percent.
At this point of the popular vote, fifty two, right precisely.
Now he did better in terms of the electoral college,
and that's that's that's important as well, Joanne, I hate
to quimp you here, but I got Christine in Deim.
Speaker 8 (39:16):
I'd like to give her about find Okay.

good night, Christine. Gonna, Well, how much time we got here, Rob?
What are we looking at it? Two minutes? Okay, I
got a minute for you, Christine, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (39:32):

a chilly reception at the White House.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Oh you think it's going to be a little frosty
huh Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
I don't think they'll shake hands, are all? I really don't.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Oh they will, I'll bet you uh an ice cream cone?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, I'll shake.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
They will have look the one whoever off is it? Look?
I think those shake hands. I do remember, uh Kamala
Harris and President Trump, President like Trump shook hands after
their debate, or actually before their debate, if you remember,
she kind of went over to Yeah, so I think
they'll shake. I think they'll shake. I think it'll be
(40:12):
friendlier than people realize. In my opinion, we'll see. Okay,
well I'm if if it's really chilly, I am going
to give you all the credit in the world.
