1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's News Radio.

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much, Al Griffin. As we head

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: into our fourth and final hour. Interesting, I thought that

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: there would have been more people interested in talking to

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: my guest last hour. He handled himself quite well, and

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: my suspicion is that that might not be as controversial

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: a move as originally it appeared to be. We'll have

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: to see how that we will follow along that. Now,

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: I want to talk about something that not all of

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: us are going to face, but many of us might

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: face in the days and weeks ahead. So I think

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: all of you know. The government shutdown is now, I

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: guess in its thirty seventh day, longer shutdown in the

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: history of government shutdowns. We've had several in recent years.

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: And I'm not so much interested in the power politics

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: of it, because frankly, I don't think my audience is

17
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: interested in the politics of it. It obviously is impacting

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people in a lot of ways, people

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: who are in need of snap funds. It appears that

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: it's now, if I'm not mistaken, it is November the sixth,

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: So we're now six months into November, and there are

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: probably many people now who have no money on their

23
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: SNAP card, which means they, in theory, unless they have

24
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: saved some money somewhere or earned some money somewhere, that

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: they do not have money to get out and purchase

26
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: the necessities of life. And in this case, we're talking

27
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: about food, and we have talked about that, but now

28
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: there's an entire another group of people who are going

29
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: to be affected. Not only is it SNAP recipients, not

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: only is it federal employees who members of the military

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: who may not be receiving their paychecks, but now the

32
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 2: traveling public, people who rely on getting from point A

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: to point B and use airlines. As of today, there

34
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: have been cutbacks at airports around the country and every

35
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: day apparently those cutbacks will increase by about one percent

36
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: four percent today, one percent tomorrow, another one percent on Friday,

37
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: another one percent Saturday Sunday. Until next week, ten percent

38
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: of the regularly scheduled airline flights will be off the board.

39
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: They each of the major airlines and the minor airlines

40
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: are going to have to cancel air travel. So that

41
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: presents a dilemma, a big dilemma if you are someone

42
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: who is planning to go somewhere in the next I

43
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: don't know, you know, the next month or so. I

44
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: don't know how long the shutdown is going to continue.

45
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm wondering if

46
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: already people are changing plans. I watched a couple of

47
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: the newscasts tonight, as they do every night, and there

48
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: was a fellow who was heading to the football game

49
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: this weekend. The Patriots are playing in Florida, and he

50
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: purchased tickets. He's going to go down and watch the

51
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have added on Sunday.

52
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: He's concerned about how does he get back here. Well,

53
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: I guess you can always rent a car and drive

54
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: from Florida. But that's pretty inconvenient, would you say, because

55
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: not only are you going to roll up the expenses

56
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: of ready the car, but I don't think anyone's going

57
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: to drive all the way from Florida to Boston or

58
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: New England without spending a night or two at hotels

59
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: along the way, which will increase. Then you got to

60
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: call in sick out of work. I mean, most employers

61
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: should underst I'd love to know from you if you

62
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: are are thinking about this or are you just saying yourself,

63
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: guess what, It's not going to affect me because at Thanksgiving,

64
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about you. Because

65
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: at Thanksgiving you're going to go to your family's gathering spot,

66
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: which is twenty miles from your house, of thirty miles

67
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: from your house to getting your cry on your drive

68
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: in the morning. But what if you had planned to

69
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: fly halfway across the country to Minneapolis, or to Texas,

70
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: or to any other point in between and spent Thanksgiving. Now,

71
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: this indecision and this crisis, which has maybe not affected

72
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: you in any way, shape or form, now has the

73
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: potential to impact you. So I want to open up

74
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: lines and give people an opportunity and if you want

75
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: to weigh in as to how this should be resolved.

76
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: You have politicians who most of them are still getting paid,

77
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: so they're not feeling the crunch, and that has been

78
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: mentioned by several callers to me and also by several emailers.

79
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: They are not impacted adversely by this. Now I assume

80
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: that yeah, they fly back and forth to their home districts,

81
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: but many of them may live within an automobile rides

82
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: distance of Washington, not all of them. Obviously, many of

83
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: them might say, look, we're going to stay here in

84
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: Washington and wait it out. There are some political leaders

85
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: elected officials who have said they're not accepting their paychecks

86
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: most What that means is they're putting them in a

87
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: trust account so that when the matter gets resolved, they

88
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: then will get their money. I don't think anyone is

89
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: losing paychecks or losing funds who are elected officials. So

90
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: whole bunch of issues here, and I would love to

91
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: talk to people who now find themselves saying, Okay, it

92
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: is November. We're about one hour away for less than

93
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: an hour away from November seventh. Thanksgiving is late this month,

94
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: which is I guess a good thing at this point

95
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: because Thanksgiving is three weeks from today. And if you're

96
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: going to travel home for Thanksgiving, well you don't travel

97
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: primarily on Thanksgiving. So you have twenty one days to

98
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: twenty one days from right now twenty beginning tomorrow, the

99
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 2: family gather, your family gathers for Thanksgiving. Oh, you go

100
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: back and you meet your college friends or whatever you do.

101
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: You don't have you have about eighteen days here. When

102
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: you think about it, If you've made reservations and you

103
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: have airfare already, airline tickets. Will the plane that you

104
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: have booked will that fly or not? Ten percent of

105
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: the planes apparently until the government maybe more if the

106
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: government shut down continues longer, Might it be more. I

107
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: don't know. I think it's going to be very interesting

108
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: when this, assuming that the shutdown doesn't happen quickly, and

109
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any indication that it is that

110
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: it's imminent. I'd love to know what you think and

111
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: what your plans are. Do you have contingency plans or

112
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: do you say to yourself, you know what, I don't

113
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: get home. I don't get home. Six one, seven, two, five, four,

114
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: ten thirty. Those lines are full. The only line I

115
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: have open right now is six one, seven, nine, three,

116
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: one ten thirty. Jump on board. Let's have a conversation

117
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: and and not everyone's going to be affected by this,

118
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: but a lot more people are going to feel the

119
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: brunt of the problem in the next few days, assuming

120
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: this continues. Back on nights, side phone calls coming up next,

121
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: and let's fill the lines and let's have a let's

122
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: have a good conversation on this, because if the politicians

123
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: can't figure it out. Maybe we can figure it out.

124
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: Probably not, but let's give it a try back on

125
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: Nightside after.

126
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: This, It's night Side with Dan Ray on w Boston's

127
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: news radio.

128
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: Okay, the only lines open are six one, seven, nine thirty,

129
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: so don't bruise your knuckles or your fingers by trying

130
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: to dial six one, seven, two, five, four to ten thirty.

131
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: Those are full. Let me start it off with my

132
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: friend David from San Francisco. David, welcome back to Nightside.

133
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: How are you well?

134
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: Don't you that bad?

135
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: Dan?

136
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: I don't particularly fly, but I noticed that San Francisco's

137
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 5: on the list, but Silicon Valley is not. And since

138
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: Trump is really invested in crypto, so let's bet that

139
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 5: Peter Thiel and Project twenty twenty five are going to.

140
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: Be Before you go off here, let me just let me,

141
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: let me try to I want to have a conversation

142
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: with you, David. Okay, San Francisco is listed because of

143
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: the airport SFO right, that's yeah, that's San Francisco. So

144
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: people who work in Silicon Valley, what airports did they

145
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: fly out of? I assume it's San Francisco.

146
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: Santa Clara, Santa Clara how many?

147
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: How many? And again, I've flown in and out of

148
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: San Francisco many times. I'm familiar with San Francisco. How

149
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: many flights do you get from, say Santa Clara directed

150
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: to New York or Boston.

151
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 5: I couldn't tell you.

152
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: Probably not many, is the point. So what I'm saying

153
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: is if I don't think, I know, you're trying to

154
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: make a reach here and you're somehow trying to figure out.

155
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: But look, your Boston is on the list. Every major

156
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: airport in the country's on the list. Reagan National is

157
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: on the list, b b W I, Baltimore, Philadelphia, all

158
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: the New York airports, Houston, Miami, Dallas. I mean, if

159
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna cut back flights, you don't go to John

160
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: Wayne International Airport in Ontario, California, Dario, California and say, well,

161
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: you have to cut back five percent of your flights

162
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: because they probably don't have that many flights.

163
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 5: But it's pretty clear that you know, since the government

164
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 5: it's shutdown is based upon the Epstein files, Donald Trump is.

165
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: The government shutdown is not based upon the Epstein files.

166
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: I mean, let's be realistic, David, which group of senators

167
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: are voting to open the government, and which group of

168
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: senators generally have been voting to keep the government closed?

169
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 5: Well, which congresswoman is not being sworn in?

170
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's my question for us that I'll answer yours.

171
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: Which group of US senators, the Republicans or Democrats, have

172
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: voted fourteen times to open the government and which group

173
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: have voted fourteen times to keep the government closed? Because

174
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: I would think, well, I think you Democrats, you're spinning it.

175
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 6: Dan.

176
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 5: Isn't this about the DOGE cuts? And that if they

177
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 5: agree to open the government, it's just has to do with.

178
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: David. I'm not going to let you hijack the show. Okay.

179
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: This is when David calls, and I always go out

180
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: of my way to try to allow him to say

181
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: whatever he wants to say. He's going to somehow related

182
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: to the Epstein files. If it was related to the

183
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: Epstein files, David, you moron, The Democrats would be voting

184
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: to open the government yesterday, last week, a month ago.

185
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: It's the Republicans who are voting to open the government.

186
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: It's the Democrats who are voting to close the government.

187
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 2: It's the Democrats who are not willing to sit down

188
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: and have this conversation. They want the Republicans to agree

189
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: that they will concede on all the points that the

190
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: Democrats want in order just to have the negotiation. David,

191
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: you know, this was probably one of you worst phone calls.

192
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you've never been a good caller to this show.

193
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: I always try to treat you with respect and give

194
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 2: you an opportunity. But your act is wearing thin. It's

195
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: as simple as that, let me go next to that

196
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: line has now been filled, David. I got a better

197
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 2: caller who's stepping in for you. But that's okay. We're

00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: gonna go to gonna go to Will on Long Island. Will.

00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: Listen, Dan, you start you're starting to sound like me

201
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: a little bit there. But I can understand you losing

202
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 4: your temper with someone like that. I mean, listen, what

203
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: I'm losing my temper with.

204
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: You know, what I'm losing my temper with is that

205
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: Rob doesn't have his finger on the plank as soon

206
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: as this guy is on.

207
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 4: You know, I got We've heard him, Paul. I've heard

208
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 4: him call many times over the years, and he really

209
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: has not just a biased opinion, just a superficial idiotic

210
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: opinion like people. You know, when you say all opinions

211
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: are equals, they're not all equals.

212
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: No, I don't say that. All I say I try

213
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: to respect as best, all welcome you're all opinions because

214
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: because that's the way I try to run this show,

215
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: will uh. And there are sometimes when you and I disagree,

216
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: but you always stay within, you stay on within the

217
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: rails of the road, you know.

218
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 7: Dan, I can be.

219
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: I am.

220
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,119
Speaker 4: I am obviously a little bit more you know, extreme

221
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: than you, It's obvious. And you are much nicer and kinder.

222
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: And like I said, you like Charlie kirk socratic method.

223
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: I listen to guys like that, and I'm like your

224
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: own narrative here that nobody's talking about. Nobody, not even

225
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: their side, is saying that this chuckdown is related to

226
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 4: the steam files. They're saying that they want to fund healthcare,

227
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 4: and the Republicans are saying, we don't want to give

228
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: you money to pay for legal immigrants, and we know

229
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: what goes.

230
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: There and what and what the Democrats are saying essentially,

231
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: and the Republicans have not gotten this message out. What

232
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: the Democrats are saying is we will vote to open

233
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: the government and we will negotiate with you. But before

234
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: we vote to open the government, there's three or four

235
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: things here that you have to commit to, right, which.

236
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: Is basically you're holding us hostage.

237
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 3: We understand what a shutdown is.

238
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 4: It's amazing how many times when the Republicans did it,

239
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: you know, they always but it's the Republican just opened

240
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: the governments and this and that, and now that they're

241
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: doing it, it's somehow still they would blame the Republicans

242
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: even though you had a clean appropriations. But he could

243
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: have voted on and you guys could have been arguing

244
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: this until the twenty second and you could have had

245
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: all your debates in front of the whole country to watch,

246
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 4: and you could have said how important healthcare is, and

247
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: you could have and you could have fought it out

248
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: and possibly had another extension to find a way to

249
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: fund the government and keep fighting about it. But no,

250
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: you didn't, and it would have been funded.

251
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: And I'd love to get you a take on this,

252
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: because I think what the president.

253
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm being.

254
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: Very affective, I'm being very effective.

255
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on for a second. I want to get that,

256
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: but I want to ask you one question. I think

257
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: President Trump is wrong when he's telling these senators to

258
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: blow up the filibuster. I think that the filibuster rule

259
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: UH should remain. It was Harry Reid that blew it

260
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: up dealing with federal judges a long time ago. That

261
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: was a yeah, we have this in order to have

262
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: some balance. If the Republicans can't get sixty senators, I

263
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: guess they have Fetterman. I don't know if I think

264
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: I've heard that Durbin was thinking about going over and

265
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: Schumer summoned him to his office. And you know, there

266
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: should be some Democrats who would be reasonable and say, look,

267
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: let's let's let's get this. What do you want. I

268
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: want to see the people who are are are on

269
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: the Snap benefits program. I want to see them get

270
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: the money. I don't want fraud, but I want people

271
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: who are in need to get their money because that's

272
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: part my part of my taxes go for that. And

273
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: I don't want a bunch of Democrats. I don't want

274
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Warren and Marky basically preventing my money going to help

275
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: people who need help.

276
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: Well, listen, let's face it, a lot of the people

277
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: that are on Snap Benefits of voting Democrat and they're

278
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 4: literally hurting their own constituents by trying to make a

279
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: political stance.

280
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 6: Right.

281
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: So it was also Catharine Clark up here was a congresswoman.

282
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: She's number three. She said, well, a lot of people

283
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: have are feeling pain, but that's the only leverage we have.

284
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: That's what Clark, a congress woman from Massachusetts, number three

285
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: in the leadership change, said, go ahead.

286
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 6: Will right.

287
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 4: Imagine a Republican said that what they'd be saying. And

288
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: not only that, A lot of federal employees of which

289
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: my wife is one, and she's furloughed and has a

290
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: very nice government job, okay, a very important government job, okay,

291
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: and it's furloughed. So our family is hurt in that area.

292
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 4: And on top of that, I'm leaving for Columbia Sunday morning. Okay,

293
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: I'm leaving at a JFK airport Sunday morning. Now, I'm

294
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: not as worried about getting there. If you don't get

295
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: me there, fine, I'm more worried about being stuck.

296
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: There, you know what I mean.

297
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: I'm more worried about being stuck in South America with

298
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: a president that is fighting with our president. Our president

299
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: wants to bomb this guy, and I'm going to be stuck.

300
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 4: And and Columbia, South America.

301
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: Hold on, I thought he wants to bomb Venezuela. Does

302
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: he want to bomb Colombia too?

303
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

304
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 4: No, But but Venezuela and in Colombia, which were always

305
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 4: at odds with each other, now they're falling in the

306
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: same camp and supporting the same people. And the president

307
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: Gustavo Patro has been coming out saying some horrible things

308
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 4: about Donald Trump.

309
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 7: And you know how Donald Trump is.

310
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: He doesn't let little third world dictators say horrible things

311
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 4: about him.

312
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 5: Right.

313
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 4: He made this I literally send his plane, Remember when

314
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 4: he made him send He made this guy, Gustavo Patro,

315
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 4: send his plane, his own plane to come pick up

316
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 4: the illegal Colombians that he had here to send them home.

317
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 4: The guy literally sent his presidential plane to get them.

318
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: Okay, And I think the president of Globby was trying

319
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: to make a statement there. That was my interpretation of it.

320
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 4: But maybe and listen, if you know anything about the politics,

321
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 4: you know it's not a very safe place for me

322
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 4: to be in. It's certainly not a safe place for

323
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 4: me to be stuck down there and not knowing if

324
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: I'm being able to get home because the Democrats.

325
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: To ask you a question. And again, if I'm asking

326
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: a question that you can't answer, fine, are you going

327
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: down there for pleasure of business? I assume business.

328
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 4: I always go and have you know, I do visit

329
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: a lot of things and see things. I speak Spanish fluently.

330
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 4: I do a lot of things when I'm there. I

331
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: own property there. I'm going mostly for business, but I

332
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: am going with my family. I'm going with my children.

333
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 4: I'm visiting family. I'm going to be in a scary,

334
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 4: possible place. And you know, this place was a safe place.

335
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: It's less safe with him as president, and with all

336
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 4: of this going on. And then when you're doing business there,

337
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: there's a reason why I have to get there and

338
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 4: get it done because a lot of people like me,

339
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 4: Americans that have money in this country, Europetans that have

340
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 4: money in this country. We're looking to lee because if

341
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 4: he gets elected again, we won't believe the integrity of

342
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 4: their elections. With how poorly he's doing, we're not going

343
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 4: to believe it, especially if he gets the Maduro style election.

344
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I wish you. I wish you was safe trip.

345
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: I certainly would think about maybe delaying the trip. I

346
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 2: don't think this. I've been wrong before. I think this

347
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: government shutdown has gone on way too long, and I

348
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 2: would hope that some Democratic senators would come to their senses.

349
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: I wish Joe Manchin was still in the Senate. I

350
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: think he would be back to back.

351
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: With I wish Joe Manchin was the president. To tell

352
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: you the truth, if I was going to vote for

353
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 4: a Democrat, it would have been a Joe Mansion style Democrat.

354
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 4: I wish that some of them would come back to

355
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: the party, which is why I hate the fact that

356
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: they leave. Somebody needs to fix this party. We can't

357
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 4: have med Manny's running around leading the Democrat Party because

358
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: then we'll just wind up with just a crazy party

359
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 4: and just one other party. We can't have that anymore.

360
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: We need two solid parties. I need to be able

361
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 4: vote Democrat again. I feel like I'm forced into a camp.

362
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: I don't belonging, Like I'm gonna tribe. I do not

363
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 4: belong in all right, Dan, take any man. Thank you

364
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: call you when I get back, hopefully up safe.

365
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, do me a favor. Please do call me when

366
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: you get back, and if if you're able to call

00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: ill you're able to call it from there. If you

368
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 2: run into problems, you know, give me a call and

369
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: I can always try to reach out.

370
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 4: I'll get you on the phone. Is they call Trump

371
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: and tell him that I love him and I voted

372
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: for him, Maybe he'll come save me if he knows

373
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: that I like him, if I have a problem.

374
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: Because that would be the way I would go to

375
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: get you out of here. If that's okay? Will all right?

376
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: Take anyway? I have people. I have people six one seven, two, five,

377
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.

378
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 2: There'll always be people who would be willing to go

379
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: down and pull you out. Uh. I want to know,

380
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: is this disrupting your plans? I kind imagine anyone who's

381
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: facing a decision as difficult as will and Long Island.

382
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: But maybe you are six one seven, two, five, four

383
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty

384
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: if you have travel plans, What are you doing? What

385
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: adjustments are you making? I guess some of the airlines

386
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: are telling people get backup tickets on another flight. That's insane.

387
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: That's absolutely insane. This is not the way this country

388
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: should be functioning. Who do you blame. Feel free to

389
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 2: bring it on coming back on nightside. I'm more interested

390
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: in your stories those of you who have plans. I

391
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: mean this. You know, you make plans and you're gonna

392
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: meet with family, and now you don't know if you

393
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: can get back home. Join the conversation back after this.

394
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: With Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news Radio.

395
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: Just a couple of programming notes real quickly here. Tomorrow

396
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 2: night at nine o'clock, we're going to take on the

397
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 2: issue of what President Trump is doing with the Venezuelan

398
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: drug boats. We have a college professor who's coming in

399
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: who is studying that, and we will talk him at

400
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: nine o'clock. And then tomorrow night we will talk with

401
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: a woman who we had earlier this week. Her name

402
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: is doctor Chloe Carmichael, and she has written a book

403
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: that we talked about earlier this week, Why Free Speech Matters.

404
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: And of course we'll have our twentieth hour tomorrow night.

405
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: Not exactly sure what we'll talk about, we'll try to

406
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: do something interesting and fun. And in addition, I will

407
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 2: remind you that on Monday night at eight o'clock, we

408
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: will have two incredible admissions deans. The Dean at Harvard

409
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: with us for the nineteenth year we've done this college

410
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: admissions panel show. If you have anyone in your family

411
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: on the cusp of applying to colleges, whether you're a

412
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: grandparent or a parent, it's a son or a daughter,

413
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: or a gr grandson, granddaughter, niece, nephew, they should be listening.

414
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 2: You should be to Bill Fitzsimmons, the longtime dean of

415
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: admissions at Harvard, and Grant Goslin, the dean of Admissions.

416
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: And again the titles are a little bit different. I'll

417
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: have the titles for you at Boston College. Again, such

418
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 2: important information and they they do it at the busiest

419
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: time of the year. It's a real honor to have

420
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 2: the two of them on the air with me on

421
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: Monday ninety eight o'clock. So that is uh, that is

422
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: appointment Radio. It's as simple as that. Let's get back

423
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: to the calls. Let me go to Bill and Danvers.

424
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: Bill you are next one night, said welcome.

425
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 7: Yes, Dan, I think, uh, you know, I know they

426
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 7: have these these call outs, you know, and Duffy's managing

427
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 7: and I think the best they can by, you know,

428
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 7: doing this thing with the airspace to try to be proactive,

429
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 7: you know, safety wise, you know, of course, I think

430
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 7: that's the point. But uh, and I think.

431
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: Overall the trends, I think you're doing a very.

432
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 7: Good job compared to the guy that was there before.

433
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 8: But if they just did I don't know if you

434
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 8: called the blue flu or whatever, but if they did

435
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 8: the airports around Washington, d C. And that would really

436
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 8: affect the politicians in the staffs too, So that would

437
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 8: really maybe this thing would end a lot quicker, you know,

438
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 8: and they'll let them start feeling it, you know.

439
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I understand that. And I'm sure that the

440
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: average person those airports are going to be impacted BWY

441
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: in Baltimore, Washington, Baltimore Washington International, as well as Reagan Airport.

442
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure Dallas at the same time, it could. There's

443
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: no reason this should be going on, in my opinion now,

444
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: I think the Democrats have messaged this better than the Republicans,

445
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people assume it's the Republicans.

446
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: It's not. And I also think it has to do

447
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: with a lot of people just don't understand what the

448
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: filibuster and cloture mean and why the Republicans who have

449
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: fifty three Senators. In order to force the issue to

450
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: a vote on the floor, they have to get seven Democrats,

451
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 2: and they're not even close at this point. The Democrats

452
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: are voting to keep the government closed. The Republicans are

453
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: voting uniformly.

454
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 9: They yeah, Angus, King and Maine, and they had some

455
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 9: other one too, I don't know, maybe the one from Nevada,

456
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 9: I think of them.

457
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: I think Senator Rosen maybe was mentioned. Well, what happens.

458
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: It's almost like a little bit of a shell game.

459
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 2: Fetterman clearly wants to open the government, and I say,

460
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 2: hats off to John Fetterman. Rand Paul apparently is the

461
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: one Republican who's off the Republicans reservation. So you don't

462
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: have fifty three, you only have fifty two. But yeah,

463
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't understand it. It seems to me

464
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 2: that we are such a bitterly divided nation. Hey, bottom

465
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: line is Trump was elected president, and whether you like

466
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: him or not, he is your president. I didn't particularly

467
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: like Joe Biden, but Joe Biden was my president for

468
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: four long years, simple as that. But there are people

469
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: on the other side at this point deny in their

470
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: mind that they're in a fantasy land. Okay, if you

471
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: live in New York, I don't care who you are.

472
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: Mamdani is the mayor elect of New York. Deal with it.

473
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: Deal with it, okay, same way. I just think that

474
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: I just think we as a country don't realize how

475
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: lucky we are that we have elections. There are people

476
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 2: around the world where people are being slaughtered because of

477
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: their religion, and we see what goes on in the

478
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: Middle East. There there's a lot of real greedy people

479
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: in this country. And I'm not talking about greedy money wise. Necessarily,

480
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: there are successful people, and some of those successful people

481
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: are greedy, and they probably want more money than anyone

482
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: has a right to. Witness what's going on with Elon.

483
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 4: Musk and I do fly like probably three maybe some

484
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 4: years for a time. In fact, I'm going to go

485
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: to Columbia the end of January twenty sixth.

486
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: I'll believing, well, you can, you can get up with

487
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: Will from Long Island. If Will doesn't get out of there,

488
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 2: you can you can bring down some.

489
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: Well you know, buddies of mine, and said, he sure

490
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: you want to go. And I've been sort of playing

491
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 4: for a year. Usually I usually end of January I mean,

492
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 4: I've been in panama A Costa Rica before, I've been

493
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: the Dominican several times. I've even gone out to Hawaii.

494
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: But you know, Columbia has been on the list, you know,

495
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 4: and I wanted to go now because you know, like

496
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: he said that president, he could get elected, and who

497
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 4: knows after that what happens could turn into Venezuela. It'd

498
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 4: be terrible because it's it's made such a comeback from

499
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 4: the nineties. Dan, you know what I mean, And uh,

500
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 4: it'd be terrible to go backwards. But look at New York.

501
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 4: They're going to stay.

502
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 2: They're going safe. That's all I hear. Don't want to

503
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: lose you as a listener.

504
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, So well if I get stuck down there,

505
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 4: if I could listen on the because I get it

506
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 4: through the internet, they get down there, give.

507
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: Me a call again if you if you need, if

508
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: you need to get out like I got people.

509
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, sounds good Dan, All right, thanks Bill.

510
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: Ha great. Now, I'm only joking when I say that,

511
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: so please don't take me at my word here. But uh,

512
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: there were ways to get people out. Believe that they were. Look,

513
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: they got people out of Afghanistan. I mean, under even

514
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: worse circumstances, you might have to pay for though, realize

515
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 2: that it might might be a puppy run.

516
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: Wow.

517
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 4: Hey, yeah, that's the way it is down there. Anytime

518
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: I travel to carry a certain I carry a backup wall,

519
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: and then I carry a thing of fire, and I

520
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: wish talk to everybody. I first went down one time.

521
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna name the country, but the guys were

522
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: all there, the police or the military. Guys. My Spanish

523
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: isn't bad. I talked to him. I gave him twenty

524
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 4: bucks a piece and bottom lunch, and they escorted.

525
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: Me, how about that?

526
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: Huh?

527
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: Now you're talking. Now you're talking. You're making friends from

528
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: making friends? Simple? Is that? I gotta run. I gotta run,

529
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: Thanks Bill, Thank you soon. Where are we gonna go

530
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: next year? Let me get John in Boston in here, John,

531
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: want to get you in here before the break? Right ahead?

532
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: Thanks Dan. First of all, they guy David said that

533
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: you were spinning the question. He told you asked some

534
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: simple question here. It was the Democrats, the Republicans, they

535
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: will hold this up, very simple, Dan, Like you said,

536
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: fourteen times Republicans were voted to open up the government

537
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: and the Democrats voted against it, and before under Biden

538
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: they voted thirteen times to vote to keep it open.

539
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: So Chuck Schumer, the Senator who threatened Kavanaugh, which going

540
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: to reach the whirlwind well right now, parts and pots

541
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: boiling something.

542
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: Schumer. Schumer is looking older and more haggard, and with

543
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi now exiting stage left, I think Schumer should

544
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: be thinking about following because AOC is definitely going to

545
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: take him out next July. Next June when they have

546
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: the Senate primary in New York, put your money on

547
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 2: AOC as well.

548
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: And again Schumer has no respect in Jeffrey Sue for

549
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: the citizens of this country. This twenty until Wednesday before Thanksgiving,

550
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: we get to what that means. Basically, people they're preparing

551
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 3: for Thanksgiving now, the restaurants, hotels, and he's gonna hold

552
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: the country hostage. It's costing billions of dollars. I just

553
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: keep him logan the airport and I'm picking up someone Dan,

554
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: a friend, and it's the delays we're Unbelieva was costing

555
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: billions of dollars for him to hold hostes for one

556
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 3: point five trillion dollars for a health care for illegals.

557
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: Schuman's gonna hold the country hostage. The pot's boiling. Chuck,

558
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: we get two weeks, and you know what, there's forty

559
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: two million people right now that are on there wait

560
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 3: for that snap assistance. So when they don't get it,

561
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: there's gonna be forty two million people two weeks for now.

562
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: Dan really upset at Chuck Schumer and Jeffries. People need

563
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: to know it's the Democrats, Chuck Schumer the leader, and

564
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: Jeffries that's holding this up from you getting your assistance

565
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: because President Trump and the Republicans voted for you to

566
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: get it, and they keep voting it down. Be very

567
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: clear about that.

568
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: And and well, you know, technically, let's let's be accurate.

569
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: Let's President Trump has advocated, he hasn't, he doesn't have

570
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 2: a vote in this. He certainly would be willing to

571
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: sign what would have been willing to sign the continuing Resolution,

572
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: the clean continuing Resolution. But what the Democrats are saying,

573
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: we will vote to open the government if you agree

574
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: to A B, C and D and you know before

575
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: before we vote to open and then we'll have negotiations. Well,

576
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: if the Republicans agree to ABC and D, there's nothing

577
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: to negotiate. I mean, it's insane. And by the way,

578
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: the national news media is not presenting an accurate picture

579
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: to the American public. It's as simple as absolutely.

580
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 3: The lion Dan and the call before they were talking

581
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: about Venezuela and Columbia. You know, VENNISI Whela and Columbia

582
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: directly responsible for our citizens. One hundred thousand every year

583
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: died from obidoses, YEP and gang violence, gang violence and oberdopses.

584
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 3: Loose countries need to be held the honiblefore our citizens dying.

585
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: Yet, I'm with you totally, John, I'm with you totally. John,

Speaker 2: let's keep it playing. Don't be David from San Francisco,

599

Speaker 2: because David from San Francisco. Trump is living in David's

600
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: head free of charge. And I don't know what's going

601
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: on in David's head either. He's uh, he is. He's

602
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: a one note guy. And you know, I try to

603
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: treat him decently. I try to be polite to him.

604
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: I try to welcome him every time, and it always

00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 5: I don't I don't believe in them anymore. Well, I

618
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 5: think at this point you pick your favorite movie line.

619
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 5: This is like Clint Eastwood, you fail, Lucky Hunk, you

620
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 5: want to fly?

621
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one.

622
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 5: This makes I mean we have I mean what four

623
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 5: or five days ago Logan Airport we had uh, we

624
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 5: had a flight coming in almost smashed into a Cape

625
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 5: Air flight. I think the jet was one hundred and

626
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 5: twenty five feet off the ground.

627
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 4: I mean, who are who are.

628
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 5: We hiring for our air traffic controls these days? We

629
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 5: had another what this summer in a jet blue airplane

630
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 5: go off the runway of Logan.

631
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: More than more than a few near misses obviously last

632
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: January with the helicopter that uh, that was flying at

633
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: the wrong level and and and wiped out the plane

634
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: that took so many lives from Boston. I mean, we

635
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 2: forget about it. But that's like last January. I mean,

636
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: we have a short attention span here. And and you raised,

637
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: you raised great points, Patrick, I mean that that shot

638
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 2: of that plane, I mean, how can that happen? Up?

639
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: An engine falls off a plane? What are we talking about?

640
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: Somebody didn't you know we've had We've had planes, planes,

641
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: weren't properly de Ice. We've had human error. We have

642
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: to make sure that these planes are in top condition.

643
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: That plane spent I guess two or three months being

644
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: reconditioned before it flew up to Louisville. It was somewhere

645
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: in Dallas or Houston, somewhere in Texas for like three

646
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 2: or four months.

647
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 5: It just came I just I think it just came

648
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 5: back online and not told us so. But we don't

649
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 5: know what happened, so I don't want to speculate, but

650
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously the props in me in time to

651
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 5: this thing coming off, we know.

652
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: We know the result. That video was frightening. Patrick, I

653
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: got a couple more. I'm going to try to sneak in.

659
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 6: I won't be traveling, but I am affected by this

660
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: whole Washington circulation because I want to, uh, well, I'm

661
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 6: make a point blank. I'm a Snap recipient and I

662
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 6: had no money on my card. So I want to

663

00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 6: cordway to the thing. The manager of the store knew

00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you know, I've talked about that, and

673
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: she's refusing and and and she's complicit in this as well,

674
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: with the Democrats causing pain to people unnecessarily.

675
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,040

Speaker 2: help out people here, so keep in touch.

681
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 6: Okay, Thank you, Dan.

Speaker 2: Thanks Nick, talk to you so good night. I was

683
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 2: in market Basket today as well. Linda in Weymouth. Linda,

684
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: thanks for checking in. I got a minute or so

685
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: maybe two for you. Go right ahead.

686
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 10: Okay, Dan, how are you tonight?

687
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: Better? Tonight? We've had some spirited conversation, which is what

688
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 2: this show is all about.

689
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 10: And you have Yeah, I have so many.

690
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: People who understand what's going on, and then I have

691
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: someone like David from San Francisco who somehow tries to

692
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: hijack the show every time, and I'm polite to him,

693
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 2: and I'm beginning to lose my patience.

694
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 10: Go right ahead, Well, I am in total agreement with you.

695
00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 10: And we all know that it is a Democrat reason.

696
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,959
Speaker 10: The media really isn't telling the truth about it, and the.

697
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 2: Mainstream if you watch the nightly newscast, they don't even

698
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: touch this at all. And and and that is just

699
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: so unfair to everybody. And there are still people who

700
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: rely upon, you know, the the nightly news shows. The

701
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 2: only one that I can watch at this point is CBS,

702
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: not CBS's ABC toos. And even there, I feel that

703
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 2: so much of it is there's been a huge problem.

704
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: We'll tell you about that later. You won't believe who

705
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 2: died today. We'll show you the picture of the dead person.

706
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: And it's like everything is ts ts ts. They these network,

707
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 2: these network TV shows need to get their act together

708
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: and hopefully Barry Weiss at CBS is going to change

709
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: things with CBS in my opinion.

710
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, my my question to you is how long

711
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 10: can this actually go on? And shouldn't there be some

712
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 10: way that the president could step in and do something

713
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 10: about this.

714
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: The only thing they can do is break the filibuster.

715
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 2: If the Democrats won't participate, this should be laid at

716
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 2: the feet of the Democrats. They could break the philipbuster

717
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: and basically just on a majority vote in the Senate,

718
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: but that's a dangerous president for either party. The Democrats

719
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: did it with Harry Reid back a few years ago

720
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: dealing with federal judges. Linda, I got a run. I

721
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: know that you always call late, and I thank you

722
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: if you call and mentally not a problem. We got

723
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: you in. Thanks Linda, to talk to you soon, Rob Brooks.

724
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: Other than not getting the plank on time for David,

725
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: he did a great job tonight. I want to thank

726
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 2: everybody who called, those of you who listened. I will

727
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: be on nightside with Dan Ray in just a moment.

728
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 2: All dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's

729
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 2: my pal Charlie Rays, who passed fifteen years ago in February.

730
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: That's where all your pets are who have passed. They

731
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 2: loved you and you love them. I do believe you'll

732
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: see them again. David in San Francisco. I'm not sure

733
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 2: about have a great fraud. Hey everyone, see you tomorrow

734
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: night or nights out. I'll see you on Facebook. Nice hour,

735
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 2: Dan ran a couple of minutes
