1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray. I'm going Boston's d Radio.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: Well before we get to our eleven o'clock hour, I

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: want to send out a very special happy birthday to

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: a longtime Nightside listener who celebrates a very special birthday tomorrow,

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: Dot Harrigan in Medford. Tomorrow, October thirty first, will be

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Dot's birthday. It's one of those birthday out you never

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: tell a lady's age, so I'm not going to do

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: that to her, but you just I got to tell

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: you it's a very special milestone she is reaching tomorrow.

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: She's one of our best callers and our best listeners.

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: I think most of you know Dot from Medford over

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: the years, but she is She's someone who always has

13
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: a very strong opinion, whether she agrees with me or not.

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: But she's delightful as a caller and delightful as a person.

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 2: So Dot, I hope you'll listen tonight. If you get

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: a chance to just call in. I won't put you

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: on the air, but just let my producers know that

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: you heard this greeting. I kept it in the back

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: of my mind and we talked about the importance of

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: October thirty first to you and I just couldn't let

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: the night go by without wishing you a very happy birthday.

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: And I hope some of the people who our mutual

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: friends are also listening at this point as well. Now

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: here's what I'm not sure what you folks want to

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: do tonight. It is a horrific rainy night here in

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: New England. And if any of you want to call

27
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: in and tell me how bad the weather is where

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: you are, if you're driving, please be careful, okay, if

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: you're out there, it's pretty easy to hydra plane on

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: a night like tonight. I just was listening to the

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: rain outside and where I am it's coming down really

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: in buckets. I heard one of the weather forecasters tonight said,

33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: but we could get, you know, a couple of inches

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: of rain. That's a lot of rain in a relatively

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: short period of time. So when we talk about that,

36
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: the other thing which I wanted to mention is the

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: last couple of days. Bill Gates, the brilliant founder of

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: Microsoft or co founder of Microsoft, who has spent billions

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: of dollars of his own money to raise the alarm

40
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: about the dangers of climate change. According to The New

41
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: York Times, to a piece by David Gellis in Yesterday's

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: New York Times is now pushing back against what he

43
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: calls a doomsday outlook and appears to have shifted his

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: stance on the risks posted by a warming planet. He

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: released a lengthy memo on Tuesday, according to David Gellis

46
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: in The New York Times yesterday, and he sought to

47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: tamp down the alarmism that Gates said many people use

48
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: to describe the effects of rising temperatures. We have talked

49
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: about climate change on this program for periodically for many years,

50
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: and I must admit to you, I'm not convinced either way. Okay,

51
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I do know this.

52
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: The Earth has been around five billion years, and it

53
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: has gone through cold cycles and warm cycles. It is

54
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: probably today it has more human beings on the Earth

55
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: than ever before. And human beings do generate activity, and

56
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: we know that fossil fuels also generate activity. But in

57
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: my opinion, my opinion, we will survive as planet Earth.

58
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: Gates has called for redirecting efforts away from climate change

59
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: alarm okay, because he now feels that perhaps the problem

60
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: is not as acute as he thought it. Was, and

61
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: he's saying that the efforts on Earth should be redirected

62
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: toward improving lives in the developing world. Now, I got

63
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: to tell you, when I went to Catholic grammar school,

64
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: deep into the last century, they were always passing around

65
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: a little cardboard box in Catholic Grammar school to donate

66
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: to the Indian missions or donate to the African missions.

67
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: And those of us were pulling nickels and dimes out

68
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: of our pockets and doing what we could. And this

69
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: was the nuns, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. So

70
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: it seems to me like Bill Gates now has wasted

71
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: a lot of money, a lot of money on climate change.

72
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: Climate is always changing. We know that Bill Gates and

73
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: I are fairly close in age, maybe a year or

74
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: two younger. I'm not exactly sure of his age, but

75
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: he must remember time in Newsweek magazine articles in the

76
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: nineteen seventies that talked about the coming ice age. Those

77
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: were articles in the New York in the Newsweek and

78
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: Time magazine, which were very important weekly magazines back in

79
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: the day. They were as important as any other major outlet.

80
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: They probably were read by more people than the New

81
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: York Times, of the Boston Globe, of the Miami Hera,

82
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: of the La Times. And I think it takes a

83
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: big man in this case, Bill Gates. I'm not saying

84
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: he's changing his position, but modifying his position. And all

85
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: of the people like AOC and Bernie Sanders and Al

86
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: Gore and Greta Tundberg who basically have been telling us

87
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: for years and years and years that if this doesn't happen.

88
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: I was reading the Boston Globe today they were talking

89
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: about how that this flooding on More Boulevard. Well, I'll

90
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 2: bet you there's been flooding on Morrissey Boulevard for a

91
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: long time. I had said to all of you a

92
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: long time ago that when the smartest president in the

93
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: history of the United States bought a sea level eighteen

94
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: acre plot on Martha's vineyard shortly after he left the

95
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: White House, I always felt that if Barack Obama would

96
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: do that, and he probably had as good of information

97
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: as anybody as a former president of the United States,

98
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: that the threat of the earth literally collapsing, as some

99
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 2: of the alarmists used to say, is not is not real.

100
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: So bottom line is we need to monitor this. I

101
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: commend Bill Gates, even though he's saying I'm not you know,

102
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: saying that it's not a problem, but it will not

103
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: lead to humanities to eyes in Bill Gates's uh, this decision.

104
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: If you want to talk about that, that would be great.

105
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: Six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one

106
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: seven nine three nine no no no no, six point

107
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: seven nine three, one ten thirty. Too many numbers will join.

108
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: We will rejoin the conversation after the break. I have

109
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: Phil in Everett, Judy, and Bellingham, and I'd love to

110
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: hear from you on this or any other topic. I'm

111
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: even willing to go open lines here for the balance

112
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: of the night if you want to talk about climate

113
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: change and Bill Bill Gates's The problem I have sometimes

114
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: is I read too much during the day and I

115
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: see these articles that other people maybe haven't seen. So

116
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm at a little bit of an advantage and I'm

117
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: trying to share breaking information and all of that with you,

118
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: but I know that sometimes you're hesitant to call because

119

266
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: I get home. That's why I don't call during earlier hours.

267
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: I usually get home at about twenty minutes of eleven.

268
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: I didn't get home until about five minutes of eleven

269
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 4: from work because of the rain and New Hampshire. I

270
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 4: didn't realize, but a lot of the smaller towns don't

271
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 4: have street lights, so it's very dark up here and

272
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: the leaves are terrible. So I just I take my time.

273
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: But I've been driving for a very long time. I

274
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: know to take my time.

275
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: So just active. When you leave work, normally, how long

276
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: is it take you to get home?

277
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: About a half no hour. So I usually leave work

278
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: somewhere between ten ten and ten twenty today I think

279
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: I was walking out the door at about ten twenty ten. Yeah,

280
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: about ten twenty.

281
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so normally normally you said I did ten minutes

282
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: to get home. How long tonight?

283
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty five? But it was it was eleven something.

284
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: But you know, you come in, you take a jacket off,

285
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 4: you say hi to the cat.

286
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: Okay, So I.

287
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 4: Looked at my watch. It was eleven something. But and

288
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: the other thing I wanted to tell you is Bill

289
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: Gates is seventy years old. I looked it up. He

290
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 4: was born October twenty eighth, nineteen fifty five.

291
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I kind of figured it. I should have

292
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: known that. As a matter of fact, I think I

293
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: had read an article that it was as his on

294
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: his seventieth birthday. But it was kind of a surprising piece.

295
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: If you read the piece in the New York Times,

296
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: he is, you know, sort of backing down from you know,

297
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: some of the things that were said by him and

298
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 2: others that you know, if we don't do this by

299
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: the year twenty fifteen, this lake will dry up with

300
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: this glacier will milt and I am a firm believer

301
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: that that we go in cycle and that the climate

302
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: is always changing.

303
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: But I think it is.

304
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: But I also think that it takes a lot of

305
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: courage for someone like him, who has sort of staked

306
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: out a position to admit, Hey, I might have over

307
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: I might have overstated a little bit, I think is

308
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: what he was really saying.

309
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: So, oh, I definitely want to read that article, because

310
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: you're right. I mean, he's been stating that climate change,

311
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: climate change, climate change for so long. To hear him

312
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 4: say that, Well, the funny thing about it.

313
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: You got you got to I have to give Gates

314
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: on Bill Gates the credit. I don't know that he

315
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: ever made any money on that. I think that he's

316
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: spent a lot of money and has contributed a lot

317
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: of money to causes. Yeah. But but I think, for example,

318
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: Al Gore, uh, I think really has has in his

319
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: post presidency lived as the you know, the climate climate

320
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: change warrior, if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, he so, yeah,

321
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: so I we'll say. I mean, I hope Gates is right.

322
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I've listened to all of these,

323
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 2: these you know, cataclysmic predictions, and we seem to have

324
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: gone by. There were predictions made around the turn of

325
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: the century that if we didn't get our act in

326
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: order within twenty five years or twenty or fifteen or

327
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: ten years, and none of those things seemed to come true.

328
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: So one of them.

329
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

330
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: So that's that's my thought on it.

331
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: And I agree with you. I remember listening about we're

332
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 4: going to have another ice age again. I'm only I'm

333
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 4: a couple of years younger than you, but not by

334
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: a lot. I remember those you know, the I say.

335
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: I was in law school at the time, back in

336
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: the mid seventies, and it was you were reading that stuff,

337
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: and it was like, oh my god, you know where

338
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: we are sitting right now. You know, millions of years

339
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: ago we would be under a glacier. That's that's what

340
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: New England was. I think that's why many of the

341
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: rock formations, and I have friends of mine in the

342
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: scientific community who do not did not want to express

343
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 2: their point of view on this because they would have

344
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: been you know, they would have been battered from pillar

345
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: to post. They would have been made fun of. I

346
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: mean it was like, you read all these things that

347
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: I never understood ninety seven percent of scientists. Well, first

348
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: of all, who's the ninety seven percent? Who's the scientist?

349
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: So I was I have a healthy skepticism towards just

350
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: about everything, including this. Hey Peg, great to hear your voice.

351
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm so happy that you got home safe and sound,

352
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: and please continue to listen to onside and thanks for

Speaker 4: I will calcolate it. Dan, have a good evening.

355
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: All right. We're going to take news here and I

356
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 2: got Will in Long Island, I get Gary and nor

357
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 2: the bridge. I got some roof for you. We can

358
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: go open lines here. We can talk about if you're

359
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: out driving around how bad it is. In your neck

360
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: of the woods, thank God. However bad it is in

361
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: your neck of the woods within the sound of my voice,

362
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: is not nearly as bad as it was in Jamaica,

363
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: Haiti and the Dominican Republican particularly Jamaica, looks like that

364
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: island nation has really taken a tremendous hit and cardios.

365
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I have been to Jamaica. It's a beautiful island.

366
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 2: A lot of poverty. Wealth, yes, but a lot of poverty.

367
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: And you have to feel for those folks down there.

368
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: Join the conversation here. We can also go open lines.

369
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: You can talk about anything you want. We dealt with

370
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: two issues earlier tonight. If you want to follow up

371
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 2: on what we talked about with Mike Dian about these

372
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: new traffic signals, I think they're confusing traffic signals. I

373
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: think they're going to cause more accidents than they prevent.

374
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: We talked with Andrew Hale, a professor of law Northeast

375
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: University Law School, and you talked to raising children and

376
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: raising them safely and raising them showing them that they

377
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 2: can take a little bit of risk, but introducing them

378
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: to risk and responsibility at the same time. We'll take

379
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: a break it's it's the eleven thirty news on the button.

380
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 2: Coming back on night Side six one seven, two five

Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm Bzy Boston's news radio for.

385
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,440

Speaker 2: nine three one ten thirty. Let me go next to

387
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: Gary in Northbridge, Massachusetts. Hey, Gary, welcome next on Nightside.

388
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 7: Hey Dan, I've known a long times with night Talkia.

389
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: Well that's not my fault. We're here for five nights

390
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: a week, four hours of night Gary. You're welcome any night,

391
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: go right ahead. What's on your mind tonight? What what

392
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: prompted another pick up that? What prompted you to pick

393
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: up the phone tonight?

394
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 7: Well, Bill Gates, first thing, if I may, Yes, I

395
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 7: think it's I think it's you know, it's big when

396
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 7: people admit that they're wrong.

397
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: I guess.

398
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 7: But I don't know what more proof people need than

399
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 7: decades of being told that within a decade the world

400
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 7: is gonna end, and it doesn't that they need to.

401
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 7: I think he's late to the game. I think he

402
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 7: just thinks she looks foolish at this point, and he does,

403
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 7: and they all do. I mean, look, eventually, the world,

404
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 7: the earth is going to say enough for you humans,

405
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 7: and it's going to shake us free long before I'm

406
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 7: sure it's gone. And and it is what it is,

407
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 7: but you know, I was. I really what prompted me

408
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 7: to call it the open line was the just the

409
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 7: the the whole thing, with the snap and with the

410
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 7: everybody's debating who should be on this program, who should

411
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 7: be on that program? And while I think it's a

412
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 7: great debate to have, I think that what's happening is

413
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 7: that we've lost sight that, let's say that that thirty

414
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 7: percent of the people that are on these programs shouldn't be.

415
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 7: They're abusing the government, you, me, and everybody else, is

416
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 7: what that means. I get it. But in a crisis situation,

417
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 7: you can't ignore the seventy percent that sit there. And

418
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 7: I think that both the Democrats and the Republicans are

419
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 7: doing just that they're so dug in in what they

420
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 7: want to do that they're forgetting that next Tuesday, Martha

421
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 7: that lives in anywhere Massachusetts is eighty six years old

422
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 7: and has no food coming, and they y here.

423
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: Look, Gary, I address this the other night. I'd love

424
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: to know what you think about it. First of all,

425
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: the Republicans have been voting to open the government, yeah,

426
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 2: and to end the shutdown. The Democrats have been voting

427
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: against it, and many of the Democrats have said, well,

428
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: the fact that people are suffering, that's our leverage here.

429
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: I was very critical of Governor Healey the other night.

430
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: We have eight point eight billion dollars in the Massachusetts

431
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: Rainy Day Fund. Okay. Now, it may not be a

432
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: rainy date on Saturday when SNAP benefits end, if they

433
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: do for you and me, but it's going to be

434
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: a real rainy day for people who lose the SNAP benefits.

435
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: And at a minimum, I think the governor made a mistake,

436
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: and there should have been an editorial in the Boston

437
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: Globe urging the governor to invade the eight point eight

438
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: billion dollars, which by the way, is much more than

439
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 2: we have ever had in a rainy day fund. And

440
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: if we have to spend a couple of hundred million

441
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: dollars of that, that's a fraction of that. Okay, it's

442
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: like two or three percent of it. She's moving some money.

443
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: I don't know what she's doing. I heard her the

444
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: other day asking people to send money to the United Way.

445
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: It's a great idea to send money to the United Way.

446
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: But she has eight point eight billion dollars. What are

447
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 2: we going to do with it? Folks? I mean, they

448
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: found they found money for people who would come here

449
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: illegally and had to be housed and fed. And there's

450
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: a lot of people on who were snap benefit, who

451
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: were snapped recipients. They happen to have hit a little

452
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 2: bump in the road. They may have contributed to the

453
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: common good for their entire lives and now they need

454
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: a little help, and we somehow are going to leave

455
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 2: them in a state of limbo as we approach this weekend.

456
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: I think it's immoral to do that to people.

457
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have to agree with you, And it's interesting.

458
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 7: I mean I'm a pretty conservative guy, you know, And

459
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 7: it's what's so interesting to me though. You talk about

460
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 7: like the Democrats have voted, the Republicans have voted to

461
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 7: open the government, the Democrats have not. But within that context,

462
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 7: we have to understand that the that the Republicans want

463
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 7: action y and the Democrats don't want action y. West right,

464
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 7: reopen it.

465
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: But but Gary, the Democrats are saying, Look, in order

466
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 2: for us to vote to to to reopen the government,

467
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: uh and continue a conversation, you've got to concede to

468
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: us on a B and C. Well, that's no way

469
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 2: to go about a conversation. I mean, if you and

470
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 2: I were having a disagreement and we weren't talking to

471
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: each other because you had a fence that was, you know,

472
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: two feet on my property, or I had a fence

473
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: that was two feet on your property as neighbors, and

474
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: and we weren't talking to each other, I wouldn't say you, look, Gary,

475
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: you have to admit to me that the fence, your

476
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: fence is in the wrong place and be prepared to

477
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: take your fence down or move your fence, and then

478
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you. You can't do it.

479
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 7: Well, it's but it's it's interesting, and I find myself

480
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 7: in odd waters, you know, trying. I'm not defending the Democrats,

481
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 7: but I don't think that they're the only I mean

482
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 7: I think that, don't forget the Republicans also do have

483
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 7: a this is the budget and it's a different budget

484
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 7: than what was there in existence, so they do want

485
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 7: change as well well. Yes, so they both want to

486
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 7: change something, and my point is this is not the

487
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 7: time to change anything. What they should do is they

488
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 7: should they should do what's right for the people and say, look,

489
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 7: we're going to keep everything just how it is right now,

490
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 7: Let's fund it for six months and debate it publicly

491
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 7: for six months and see where we can get.

492
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: Let's not let the Republicans were saying, let's have a clear,

493
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 2: clean extension for seven weeks and we will debate it.

494
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: That's what they wanted to do. Anyway, Well, I just dot.

495
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 7: Forget that they said. But they said that they would

496
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 7: have a discussion after they voted for what they wanted,

497
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 7: didn't they I mean, isn't that what they kind of said?

498
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: Is that what Trump said?

499
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 2: No, No, not at all. What they said is they

500
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: came up to September thirtieth, which was the end of

501
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: the fiscal year, okay, and they said, okay, let's have

502
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: what they call a continuing resolution, a clean cr uh,

503
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: and we will will continue the conversation. They walked themselves

504
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: up to the deadline, which was September thirtieth, and at

505
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: that point they can't do anything, okay, And I see

506
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: it pretty clearly but hey, let's see what happens. I

507
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: do feel and I don't understand Governor Healy why she's

508
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: letting eight point eight billion dollars of my tax money

509
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 2: and your tax money sit there and not be available

510
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: to put people's minds. It as simple as that. Hey, Gary,

511
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: you got to call more often. You used to be

512
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: a regular call or call more often.

513
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, man, you.

514
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: Soon, good night. Okay, let me do this here. I'm

515
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: going to go to Porky in Florida. Porky, you're next

516
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: on nightside.

517
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 8: Welcome, Well, good evening, Good evening, Pokey. Hey, yeah, I'm

518
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 8: with Trump on this one. He's called on the Republicans

519
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 8: to use the nuclear option to end this ridiculous shut down.

520
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 8: And that's what they should do.

521
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, what they mean by the nuclear option if I'm

522
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: if I'm incorrect, you can correct me. They have now

523
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: this sixty point You need sixty votes in the Senate

524
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: to basically end a filibuster. That's what the Democrats are doing. Uh,

525
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: and you know, there's good arguments to a minority in

526
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: the Senate should be able to hold things up a

527
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: little bit, not make it easy if if they end

528
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: this when the Republicans are in a minority. You know,

529
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: if you if you want straight up and down votes

530
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: majority rules, that's exactly what what ending the nuclear option

531
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: would be. The nuclear option is this sixty vote a

532
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: number that the Republicans have to get. And of course

533
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: they only have fifty three senators, so you got to

534
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: have some bipartisanship to end a filibuster. I think I'm

535
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: trying to explain it for people who don't understand that

536
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 2: maybe as well as you do, Porky, I hope you

537
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: understand what I'm saying.

538
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 8: Yes, I understand it, and I'm with Trump on this one.

539
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 8: He's calling on the Republican senators to end the nuclear option,

540
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 8: and it's a good idea. And for the governor of

541
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 8: Massachusetts to not use rainy day funds. There's no guarantee

542
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 8: that they're going to get that money back, Dan.

543
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: Right, but we have eight Well, first of all, I

544
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: think they will, but you're right, there is no guarantee.

545
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: But we have eight point eight billion dollars. We have

546
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: a budget in Massachusetts of sixty two billion dollars. We

547
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: have never had that much money in a rainy day

548
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: fund in Massachusetts in your lifetime. A my lifetime. And

549
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: it's going to be a rainy day for these people

550
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: who are you know, who may not get their their

551
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: snap benefits. You know, they're what used to be called

552
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: food stamps.

553
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 3: Hey, I was brought up Catholic.

554
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 8: I understand. I care about the needy and the poor,

555
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 8: you know, but if if the Senate does the right thing,

556
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 8: they can get a few Democrats to go along, and

557
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 8: this ridiculous American shutdown, I.

558
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: Agree, so Poky, you and I don't always agree, but

559
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm with you on this one, my friend.

Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. The weather up here is horrific tonight.

563
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: It's nothing like Jamaica, but it is pouring rain. And

564

Speaker 2: I hope that you're having a better night out of

573
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,239
Speaker 2: Marion Lexington. I got room for a couple more if

574
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: you want. Six one, seven, four thirty, six seven, nine, three, one,

575
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,440

577
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,440

Speaker 2: your mind. Be right back on night Side. Will start

579
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: us off.

580
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBS Boston's

581
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:46,840

582
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 2: All right, back we go. Let me go to Will

583
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: in Long Island. Will I got pack lines, you go

584
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: right ahead, lead us off for friend.

585
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 5: Okay, real quick, just just state really what the nuclear

586
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 5: option is in a real layman's type of term. It's

587
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 5: actually a procedure that allows you to avoid the three

588
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 5: fifths super majority needed to invoke cloture, which means to

589
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 5: be able to get past the filibuster. Right, That's why

590
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 5: they haven't been able to pass the yet.

591
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: Basically, by a majority vote, that Senate could eliminate.

592
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 5: This simple majority, simple majority, which is like a whole

593
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 5: convoluted thing they have to do. They have to bring

594
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 5: up a thing, and then a guy has to deny it,

595
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 5: and then it appeal and it's a whole nonsense thing,

596
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 5: but it avoids it and it allows you to pass

597
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 5: the appropriations Bill with a fifty one, which is like

598
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 5: something they don't like to do because obviously you want

599
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 5: to be able to have a filibuster when you have

600
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 5: a problem. We got to uh you know, Bill Gates,

601
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 5: I agree with you. I'm glad that he came to

602
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 5: his senses, you know. And I don't believe he was

603
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 5: like heavily invested in making money behind behind the whole

604
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 5: idea of uh I he distributed, He contributed his own line, right,

605
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 5: But I think and I you know, by no means

606
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 5: of my scientists. But you know, I like to research everything.

607
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 5: I go down like crazy rabbit holes. The founder of

608
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 5: the Weather Channel for years was saying that it's just

609
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 5: a made up thing. There are plenty of scientists like

610
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 5: you said that didn't want to come out because it

611
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 5: was like people coming out saying the world is round

612
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 5: when everybody said it's flat, You idiot, what are you stupid?

613
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 8: You know?

614
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, they were ahead of their time. There was a

615
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 5: lot of money involved, Okay. I mean if you look

616
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 5: at Al Gore since two thousand and eight, he was

617
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 5: invested in all types of carbon credits and all these

618
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 5: all the crazy things, and his investment management firm that

619
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 5: he was big in was behind all of this thing

620
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 5: looking for more government money. And you went, money poured

621
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 5: into these things which were making them rich. But what

622
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 5: kills me about that is that on the flip side

623
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 5: of that, in twenty thirteen, Al Gore his home in

624
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 5: Tennessee was assessed. It's ten thousand square foot home. Did

625
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 5: you know that it was using more electricity in one

626
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 5: year than your average family uses in twenty one years.

627
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 5: And these are the type of hypocrites that are out there,

628
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 5: but us a lot a lot of them.

629
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 2: Also, we're flying private jets to conferences around the world

630
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 2: decrying the use of private jets.

631
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 5: Right, there's no shortage of hypocrisy, Like you have uh

632
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 5: Bernie Sanders running around telling everybody and then he's flying

633
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 5: around the private jets talking about oligarchs. So you know,

634
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 5: I think when you when you look at things like that,

635
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 5: you really need to follow the money and see where

636
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: the probability is and what is the reasoning why people

637
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 5: would get behind things like this, and by the way, you.

638
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: Will just to make it, just to make it clear,

639
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 2: I want to be fair to Gates. Gates are saying

640
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 2: that the priority should shift. He's not saying. He's not

641
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: turning around and say that he was wrong on on climate. Yeah,

642
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: so he's he basically is is kind of pivoting away

643
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: from some of the language that he used. It's as

644
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: simple as that.

645
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, so right, But you know, I could finally appreciate

646
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 5: that that one thing that he believes right now at

647
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 5: this moment, you.

648
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: Know, finally I think he's reasonable. I think he's reasonable,

649
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: and he's not h he's not rejecting everything he said,

650
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 2: but he but as as the article says, Gates says

651
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: climate change will not lead to humanity's demise. And that's

652
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: the memoy. He wrote, Hey, I get a thanks, well, thanks,

653
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: don't be stranger. Thanks, Let's keep rolling here. We'll're gonna

654
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: go next, gonna go to Mary and Lexie. Did marry

655
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: you next time? Nightsager?

656
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 9: Right ahead, Yes, thank you for taking my call. So

657
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 9: my call is regarding Governor Heally and I have a

658
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 9: comment and a question regarding her.

659
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

660
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 9: First of the comment is I heard her talking today

661
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 9: when she made her press announcement, and she is accusing

662
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 9: Trump of having the ability to do something about the

663
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 9: snap problem, but he chooses not to. Well, isn't she

664
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 9: guilty of the same action because she herself could also

665
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 9: do something about it, as you have mentioned with that

666
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 9: Rainy Day fund, and she is choosing to do it.

667
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 2: I felt the same way when I heard her tonight

668
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: in the news. I couldn't agree with you more.

669
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I was brought up with two wrongs. Don't

670
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 9: make a right, and you can't control what somebody else

671
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 9: may or may not be doing, but you can control

672
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 9: what you're doing. So she should hold herself responsible regardless

673
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 9: how this problem started or who's at fault. She could

674
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 9: also do something about it, and then my question would

675
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 9: be to her, if I could ask her a question

676
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 9: would be She also asked for whoever would be able

677
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 9: to donate, contribute whatever, to please step up. I want

678
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 9: to know what she's doing personally, personally as just a resident,

679
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 9: as she's asking of us too.

680
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought that I heard something earlier

681
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: this week, and I want to be fair that she

682
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: had made a contribution. I'm not sure if they specified

683
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 2: how much. To be honest, I believe that there was some.

684
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: When she held that news conference, there was a reference

685
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: that she had made a contribution and called for others

686
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 2: to join her.

687
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 4: Mary, Well, then that's fair.

688
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 9: But still I feel she is the one who is

689
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 9: responsible for us, and she is just as guilty as

690
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 9: what she's accusing Trump.

691
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 7: Look to that one.

692
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: We're spot on there. Thanks Mary, keep calling. Thank you

693
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 2: so much.

694
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 9: I appreciate you.

699
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 10: was calling about. I agree with you and Governor Heay

700
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 10: should put aside her personal feelings for Donald Trump and

701
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 10: take care of the people in Massachusetts that she was

702
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 10: elected to do.
