1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: It's nice eyes. I'm telling you easy Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Where we are living in an interesting time. Obviously, later

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: on tonight we're going to talk about the latest on

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: what is going on or not going on over in

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: the Middle East. The President has made some comments today

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: which I think had an impact on the stock market.

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: On the one hand, you hope that what he's suggesting

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: is correct, that the Iranians have decided or someone in

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: Iran has decided that it would better it is better

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: to talk than not to talk, and to make some progress.

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: But before we get to that, and I suspect we'll

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: get to that at ten o'clock, I want to talk

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: about what's going on at the airport. There are about

14
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: a about fifty thousand TSA workers. Now, those of you

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: who have flown by plane at some point, and I

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: assume most of you have. Some of you have never flown,

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: I get it, but most of you have, and most

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: of us do. You interact with the DSA workers very quickly.

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: You move through the lines, and sometimes you get there

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: and there's really hardly a ligne. Sometimes there's a little

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: bit of a line, but it can be a pain

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: in the neck. You got to in many cases take

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: your shoes off. You got to make sure that there's

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: nothing that you're wearing that has metals. So if you

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: have a belt with a metal buckle, that has to

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: go off. Got to put all your money in a

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: bin and that has to go. But it's all for security,

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: and no matter how inconvenient it is, as long as

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: they are checking everyone makes me feel a little more

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: confident that the plane that I'm about to get on

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: will be safe and we will get to our destination

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: in a timely fashion. Now, I don't want to talk

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: about that accident in New York last night, but it

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: was brutal to watch that on tonight's evening news casts

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: to realize that the pilots on the plane they had

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: really no idea what was going to hit them or

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: what they were going to hit. More precisely, the two pilots,

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: the pilot and co pilot, died. There was one flight

39
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: attendant who was actually found alive on the tarmac in

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: her still buckled into her seat from the plane. But

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: I want to talk about if anyone out there has

42
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: gone through TSA security in the last few weeks. They've

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: been working now since the middle of February, I believe

44
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: is the time the fifty thousand strong have been working

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: without without a paycheck. That's just wrong, just absolutely wrong,

46
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: because when you think about it, these folks they haven't

47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: had a paycheck for five weeks. I guess they the

48
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: last paycheck they got was the middle of February. Now,

49
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: they're not highly paid. My understanding is, and I've seen

50
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: different reports and if someone is out there is a

51
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: it's a TSA worker and wants to confirm this for me.

52
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: They make about forty thousand dollars a year, which you

53
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: know by today's standards. When you consider that they are

54
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: the people who are charged with making sure that all

55
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: of us are screened and we get on an airplane

56
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: so that the plane is safe, and they're supposed to

57
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: look at luggage, they're supposed to observe our demeanor as

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: we go through the screening process, and a lot of

59
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: people get a little up tight about that. I get that,

60
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: but the tremendous responsibility when you think about it, I

61
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: mean literally they hold life and death decisions if they

62
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: miss something and that person gets through, and they have

63
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: some designs on the plane that they want to do

64
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: something crazy, whether it's like light their shoe on fire,

65
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: or spill some of any you know, they could they

66
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: could put a chemical. I mean this. I'm not going

67
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: to go into all the things that could be done,

68
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: but I think all of you realize that they're there

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: to protect you. Now they maybe they may not know,

70
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: come out of the the best charm schools in America.

71
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: And when they tell you got to go back through,

72
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: they don't you know, they do this one hundred times,

73
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: two hundred, three hundred times a day. They're not waiters,

74
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: they're not waitresses, and they expect you and me to

75
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: follow the directions. And even if they don't say it

76
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: with a smile, excuse me, but would you mind going

77
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 2: back through that metal detector? If it's not too much

78
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: of an inconvenience. That's not how they say it. They'll

79
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: tell you, okay, stop right there, you got to go

80
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: back through. What do you have in your pockets or whatever?

81
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: That's okay. I don't care about that, and I hope

82
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: you don't care either. But at this point, I have

83
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: a proposal, and that is, as long as the TSA

84
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: workers aren't being paid, and you can blame it on

85
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: the Republicans, you can blame it on the Democrats. I

86
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: blame it a plague on all their houses. As far

87
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: as I'm concerned, as long as a substantial core of

88
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: government workers are working, working, and not being paid, then

89
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: Congress also should not be paid. Every member of the

90
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: five hundred and thirty eight members of Congress should not

91
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: get a paycheck because they don't care. They don't care.

92
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: Now I know that this is all tied up in

93
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: homeland security. Well, the irony is homely in security, and

94
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: ICE are getting paid BSA who is only there to

95
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: protect everybody. They are the ones who are getting the

96
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: proverbial short end of the stick. So I just want

97
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: to open up the lines and give you a chance

98
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: to join the conversation. If you have been through a

99
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: TSA checkpoint in the last few weeks, I hope that

100
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: you've been extra polite, and I hope that maybe those

101
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: of you who are going to be going through TSA

102
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: checkpoints tomorrow or later this week or next week will

103
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: offer a kind word to the TSA employees, because again,

104
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: none of them are making, you know, millions of dollars

105
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: as our sports heroes are making, and none of them

106
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: are making the well, the two hundred thousand dollars or

107
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: so that members of Congress are making. They're living on

108
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars a year and living really in many

109
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: cases from paycheck to paycheck. Working in big cities, big

110
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: city airports again, whether it's Logan Airport, whether it's JFK,

111
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: Laguardie and Newark, Reagan International, Atlanta, Phoenix, Saint Louis, Chicago,

112
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, San Francisco, they're living in urban areas where

113
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 2: it's living is not cheap and easy. It's as simple

114
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: as that. So I'd like to get some support for

115
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: the TSA workers, And I also would like to know

116
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: what you think about my idea that as soon as

117
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: any organized group of federal employees are being asked to

118
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: work and not be paid automatically, automatically the pay of

119
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: all members of Congress, all one hundred US Senators and

120
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: all four hundred all four hundred and thirty, there's thirty

121
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: eight members. It's four and thirty five members elected members.

122
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: Then you have the three members from from the District

123
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: of Columbia six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty

124
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: six one seven nine three one ten thirty. Tell me

125
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: that if that rule was in effect, these people would

126
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: still be working without pay. Absolutely not. Congress would have

127
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: figured it out. The Republicans and the Democrats, and I say,

128
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: a pot on on all their houses, a plague, go

129
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: to all their houses six one, seven, two, five, four,

130
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.

131
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: Let's light it up here, and let's have a little

132
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: support for the TSA workers because they are still out

133
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: there trying to stay alert and protect you and me.

134
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: When we walk onto an airplane, from the time the

135
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: plane takes off until the plying the plane lands safely,

136
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: they are protecting us and we should respect them. Coming

137
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: back on night Side, if.

138
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.

139
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: All right, So as I say you can tell me

140
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: who you blame, I'll tell you I think I blame

141
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: them all. I blame the Democrats and the Republicans. They're

142
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: playing games with other people's lives. A good reason to vote.

143
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: Vote a lot of them out of office. If you

144
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: have a chance. Let me go to Jamie and Nashall

145
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. Jamie first up tonight, talking about I'm

146
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: unpaid TSA agents. Hi, Jamie, how are you?

147
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: Hi?

148
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: Dan?

149
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: Nice to talk with you again. I just got back

150
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 4: from school, so it was a good time to call.

151
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: I just want to call because I worked for the

152
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: TSA as a TSO officer previously. It was a part

153
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: part time job and the only reason I gave it

154
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 4: up is Kyler was interfering with my good paying job.

155
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 4: So I kind of had to make a decision to

156
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: give it up. But I just started giving a little

157
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 4: insight maybe on the job.

158
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: Sure.

159
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 4: Also, I just traveled yesterday, so I got out of

160
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: San Diego. These people, these people aren't paid that well

161
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: when they were when they were put in place. It's

162
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: an excellent organization, but they were not put on the

163
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: government pay scale. They're not on the you know, the

164
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: G five, G six pay scale like every other practically

165
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: government employee. They put them on a separate and they

166
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: don't they don't take comparable pay with other government eployees.

167
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: If my understanding, Jamie, you know this better than me,

168
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: But my understanding is that the regular full time TSA employees,

169
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: and again I don't know if it fluctuates from city

170
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: to city, I'm making about forty thousand a year.

171
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's about right. They're starting out. There's you know,

172
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 4: it's quite a mix of people. You're younger people that

173
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 4: are actually using this as a stepping stone. A lot

174
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: of these people are also college educated and they're looking

175
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: to maybe go into border patrol, other government, you know,

176
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 4: law enforcement positions. They're using it. So people need to

177
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 4: know that these people are also well trained. When they

178
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 4: see people at the exits opening the exit doors, they're

179
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 4: not just open have the doors, they're actually monitoring that.

180
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: But those people are only there for half an hour.

181
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 4: Those officers get rotated out front, checking credentials, doing the

182
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: body scans, there doing the X rays. These people are

183
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: on the move. They're rotated constantly.

184
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: The very why, Jamie, why are they rotated? Is that

185
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: to break up the monotony or is it to make

186
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: sure that they learn to do different things.

187
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 4: It's a combination of both. It's to keep people engaged,

188
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: and it's also to make sure that everyone is cross

189
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 4: trained and can do the job. So if they need someone,

190
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: let's say that to run the X rays, maybe a

191
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 4: terminal e, they can take someone and move them up

192
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 4: there because they're qualified and the sense we go to

193
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: Atlanta for two weeks of specialized training and all their

194
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 4: equipment so I just let people know that these people

195
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: are actually well trained, they are underpaid, and they do

196
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: an important job. I mean everyone there takes their job seriously,

197
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 4: you know.

198
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I've never really talked to a TSA

199
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: agent unless at the airport you say hello or something

200
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: like that.

201
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

202
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do they tell you about people?

203
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: Who?

204
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: Do they train you or encourage you to observe people's demeanor?

205
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if someone's nervous or they look they look

206
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: a little shaky, are you supposed to give them a

207
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: little bit more attention or is you.

208
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: Know, it's it's more it's more of a we're doing protocol.

209
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: I mean there's specific.

210
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: Protocol we have to follow, gotcha, whether it be something

211
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: as simple as when we ever people put bags for

212
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: X ray, you know, there's certain protocols we follow. We

213
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: want people to kind of stay with their bags until

214
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: the X ray we send. That's why we send people

215
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: back sometimes because we need to get the bags in

216
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 4: the X ray before they come through. We want to

217
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 4: make sure that they're kind of line up. So it's

218
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: more following protocol. But sometimes it's also like I say,

219
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: at those those exits, we're trained to actually observe inside

220
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 4: and outside of security, looking for things that look out

221
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: of place. Also, we work very closely with the state

222
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 4: Logan and if there's any problems, we have a state

223
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: police officer there and under Tultics. I mean, we work

224
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: very closely with the law enforcement at Logan. I just

225
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: thought off of that. I know that I always, even

226
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: before I work with them, I always, oftentimes will thank

227
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: them for what they do. They do a hard job,

228
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: and they don't I.

229
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: Do as well. I tend to do that as well.

230
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: I mean to be honest with you. And as they say,

231
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: you can't expect them to have the great personality because

232
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: they're dealing with people all the time. It's not like

233
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: they're a waiter or a waitress at a restaurant. They

234
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: may handle you and observe you for thirty seconds and

235
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: there's another person coming right behind you, and then another person,

236
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 2: so they do an extraordinary job. Hey, Jamie, thanks so

237
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: much for calling, and thank you for having had that experience.

238

Speaker 2: Hope the weather and see Diego was good.

239
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: It was good. It was My daughter Carol went out there.

240
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 4: It was in the eighties every day and now I'm

Speaker 4: of me ourself.

Speaker 2: We have we have some oil listeners in San Diego,

245
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: and Lola being one of them. She always reminds me

246
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: how nice the weather is out there, which long about February.

247
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: I get a little upset with that. Thanks Jamie, we'll

248
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: talk again.

249
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,000

Speaker 2: How are you been traveling lately?

253
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: First time caller? I actually flew Boston to DPA last weekend.

254
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: There's a run and Claus from our from our studio

255
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: wad our Digital Studio audiences. So you flew from Boston to.

256
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: Boston to wear DCA to Washington last weekend.

257
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

258
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: And my son who actually works for SESSA, which is

259
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: part of Homeland Security, and is not getting paid either.

260
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 7: What what?

261
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: What?

262
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 7: What is?

263
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: Sister? You were answering my question as I asked him,

264
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: what is that? What's it called? Sister?

265
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 3: Is cyber You always get it wrong. Cyber security infrastructure administration? Okay, administration, right,

266
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: this is cybersecurity of Homeland Security.

267
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: Well, I hope he's being I hope he's being paid

268
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: more than forty thousand dollars a year because that's a

269
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: really important job.

270
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, well he's getting yeahs agents.

271
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 8: Where did he go.

272
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: Boston, Teresa? Where did your son go to school to

273
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: learn that, you know, that ability to to deal with cybersecurity?

274
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: Did he go to school? I assume he went to

275
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: school for that?

276
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yep. He went to Roger Williams.

277
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: Great School down in Rhode Island. Absolutely, yeah, sure, yeah.

278
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: So yeah. So but even the last time there was a.

279
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 5: Shutdown he was affected. So it's not the first time either.

280
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: So there are other organizations that are affected.

281
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: Well, well, thank you for mentioning that, we'll mention them

282
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: because that's pretty critical. I know that the number i've

283
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: seen is fifty thousand TSA agents. I'm assuming that the

284
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: SISA group a little bit more specialized that there's probably

285
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: not nearly that number.

286
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I don't think so.

287
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

288
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: And he works right in Washington.

289
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, just outside yep. Yeah.

290
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: And he's been doing it for how I mean, this

291
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: is the cutting head stuff.

292
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, about two or three.

293
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: Years, right out of school.

294
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, did he I No, he had another job in

295
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: he's in the Virginia area now, so he had another

296
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: job there and now he's doing this.

297
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: How how was your travel down and back pretty easy

298
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: or did you have long lines to deal with?

299
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 8: No?

300
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: No, no long lines in Boston or Washington. We have

301
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 3: TSA pre check, and the non TSA PreCheck line was

302
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit longer, but it wasn't you know.

303
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 3: I was nervous that there'd be the two hour await

304
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 3: and there was nothing like that.

305
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: Now, well, when you think about it, if they put

306
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 2: a lot of people in TSA pre check, then the

307
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: regular lines will get do get shorter. I've been in

308
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: situations where you had we have pre check and the

309
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: line could be a little longer. Most times it's not,

310
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 2: it's it's a convenience. But every once in a while

311
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 2: you know it is an anomaly and you look over

312
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: at the other line which is non pre check, and

313
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: they're shorter. It's a shorter line than you are, and

314
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: everybody treated you well.

315
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 8: No problems, oh grind, no problem at all.

316
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 3: And we joke the same thing that the so many

317
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: people have TSA PreCheck now that the other lines are

318
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 3: not that bad. But we went get blue and there's

319
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: never a problem there for us, so and that I

320
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: do agree with with. You know, other people in Washington

321
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: shouldn't be getting paid either until they can come to

322
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: an agreement.

323
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: So well, the the people who can solve it. I

324
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: don't want to see the military people not be paid,

325
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 2: but the people who can solve this problem are the

326
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: Republicans and the Democrats in Congress. And I don't care

327
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: who it is, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican,

328
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: a House member or a member of the Senate. The

329
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: moment that TSA stopped being paid, they should have been

330
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: stopped being paid, and the whole thing will be over

331
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: in a very short, very short order, in my opinion.

332
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: Do me a favorite congratulation, Well, thank you for tak

333
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 2: thank you for making it. I hope. I'm looking forward

334
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 2: to your second time call, your second time callinggu and

335
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 2: thank you to your son on behalf of everybody in

336
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: our audience for what he does. Because those cybersecurity threats

337
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: are only going to get worse and we got to

338
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: not we your son and his team have to keep

339
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: up with it. So they're doing a lot to protect us.

340
00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still working every day. We considered volunteering well, hopefully.

341
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: Last time, if I'm not mistake, President Trump paid some

342
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: bonuses to the TSA agents who didn't call in sick,

343
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: and I hope he does the same thing, and he

344
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: should also do it for the for the SISA organization

345
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: as well.

346
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Thank you so much last time.

347
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 7: But you know maybe, But it's okay.

348
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 3: The TSA bro workers get paid a lot less they do.

349
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 3: They have a thankless.

350
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 7: Job, so it's dealing with appreciate that work.

351
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 6: Well.

352
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: When you're dealing with the public, you're always going to

353
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: have a lot of nice people, but you're also going

354
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 2: to have a few nasty people and that can make

355
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: it tough. You have to Yeah, thanks again, we'll talk again.

356
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: I hope you said, thank you very much. Have a

357
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: great night.

358
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: Thank you.

359
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 8: All right.

360
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: So there's one line at right there, six one seven

361
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: two five four ten thirty. The other lines of fold

362
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: who I won't even give that number, you can get

363
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: through with six one seven two five four ten thirty.

364
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 2: My name's Dan Ray. This is night Side, and we're

365
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: talking about the TSA circumstances, which I think is totally

366
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: unfair to TSA employees. They don't make a lot of

367
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: money and for them to go without a paycheck now

368
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: for I guess it's five weeks. That is absolutely inappropriate,

369
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 2: particularly when members of Congress are still pulling down their

370
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: much more substantial paychecks. We'll be back on Nightside right.

371
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: After this, Dan Ray on Boston's news radio role.

372
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: Gonna go to Rob in Boston. Hey, Rob, welcome next

373
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: to on Nightside Rob.

374
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 8: Go ahead, Dan, Dan.

375
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 9: You know these folks, the TSA folks, God bless them.

376
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 9: They are like first responders, you know, they they are there.

377
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 9: And and if you recall the Afghanistan checkpoint where we

378
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 9: lost that God forgive me, I don't remember her name,

379
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 9: but we lost thirteen Marines in I don't know how

380
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 9: many were at the checkpoint, but it.

381
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: Was it was called. It was called it was Abby

382
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: Gate at the airport in Afghanistan, Abby Gate. I remember

383
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: that day very very well. And there was a sniper

384
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: who had the guy, the bomber, the guy that was

385
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: going to set off the bomb, in his sight and

386
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: could have taken him out, but he couldn't get authorization

387
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: to shoot.

388
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 9: It is horrifying that these politicians can cast their check.

389
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 9: You're absolutely right. Before you brought it up, I was

390
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 9: gonna call in and mention that's what needs to be done.

391
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 9: Then you know, I went to pretty good high school

392
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 9: and I was actually a student rep for the day,

393
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 9: and they said how easy it is to get a

394
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 9: bill initiated and stuff like that. You didn't need some

395
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 9: clouds to get it through Congress. But anybody that doesn't

396
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 9: agree with it, although although they don't agree with anything,

397
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 9: that makes sense, but you're absolutely right. They should not

398
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 9: be getting paid. There should be like first responders.

399
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 5: They are, They are so vulnerable.

400
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 9: All it needs is one guy to show up. Would

401
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 9: would have would a vest full of dynamite or something,

402
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 9: and and and and goodbye the whole scene. And they're

403
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 9: holding the Democrats. I feel holding us all hostage here,

404
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 9: just trying to use us as leverage. It's so disgraceful

405
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 9: that that it's they need now.

406
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 8: I don't know what.

407
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 9: It's very easy to initiate a bill, and and this

408
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 9: bill should exist because they pull this stuff all the

409
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 9: time with everything, and and all they care about is money.

410
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 9: So let's make it about the money. You're not gonna

411
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 9: do your job. You don't get paid either. These other

412
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 9: people are doing their job and they're not getting paid.

413
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 9: They have no shame.

414
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: Well, I agree with you, and I think the problem

415
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: is you got to get Congress to pass that piece

416
00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: of legislation, which would would put them, uh under the

417
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: gun if there, if there was any any group of

418
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: federal employees not being paid. And Congress is not likely

419
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: to do that to themselves, but I I wish they would.

420
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 9: Maybe if it was on the ballot like our our

421
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 9: audit was, maybe we could force the handle a little bit.

422
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 9: But it's like even a public citizen can initiate a bill.

423
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 9: But there you go. We'll never get it through Congress

424
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 9: because this this is so done, in my opinion, corrupt

425
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 9: and greedy that people like Priscilla Presley there she's got

426
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 9: like a four million dollar house down in Math.

427
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 7: This is crazy.

428
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 9: The money they steal.

429
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: That that's that that is that is not Priscilla Presley,

430
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 2: that's Congress from But that's okay. Priscilla Presley was was

431
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: Elvis's daughter.

432
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 9: God forgive me exit.

433
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 5: There's no yeah, no, I get it.

434
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: Uh.

435
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: The by the way, the the woman that I think

436
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: you referred to, the Marine Corps sergeant who from Lawrence,

437
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: Massachusetts who died at Abbygate was Marine Corps sergeant Johanni

438
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: Rosario Pichardo. I just looked up her name and those

439
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 2: the names of those victims should always be on the

440
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: tips of our time.

441
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 9: I watch her funeral possession go by my house, Dad

442
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 9: and I stood out there with attention, and it's like,

443
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 9: you know, they this an out of prevention is worth

444
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 9: a lot of cure, and they're they're selling us down

445
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 9: the river, these Democrats. It's like with so they can

446
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 9: give the aliens on the illegals more money and more

447
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 9: beneficially and keep them vote. And it's not they They're

448
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 9: not fooling us anymore.

449
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: All right, Rob, Brob, I appreciate your passion, really do.

450
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 2: And the next time I talk, thanks Rob. You right, goodnight.

451
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: Let's keep rolling. You're gonna go from Bob and Rob

452
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: in Boston to Bob in Rhode Island. Bob and Rhode Island.

453
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 2: This is one that you and I might agree on.

454
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Bob.

455
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 10: I don't think so.

456
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: Oh, but that's okay, go right ahead.

457
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 10: Who the reason why the Democrats I'm not settled the

458
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 10: voting with the TSA people improved their funding because it's

459
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 10: all related to ice. The Democrats are not passing getting

460
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 10: the government shut down. That's Passe because, yeah, the Republicans.

461
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 4: Job, they don't want to rob hold On.

462
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: Hold on, We're gonna try to have a conversation. If

463
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: we don't, you know what happens. So what you're trying

464
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: to tell me is that the Democrats, in order to somehow,

465
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: uh straighten out their concerns with what Ice is doing,

466
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: Ice is still getting their salaries. They're gonna hold up agents.

467
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 9: Yeah in Ware, gonna kill people there too, like they

468
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 9: did in Minneapolis.

469
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 10: They're not praying, Well, what the hell is then?

470
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: Bob? I was trying really hard here to have a

471
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: conversation with you, and you know what. You know what

472
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: happens next, right do you? Guys? Thanks very much. I

473
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: was actually trying to have a rational conversation with him.

474
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 2: I got a couple of lines open. We've moved quickly.

475
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: Six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven,

476
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: nine three ten thirty Paul and Pennsylvania hate Paul. How

477
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: are you tonight? Welcome?

478
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dad, I actually take my call. I agree with

479
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 5: some of the callers. I think this is a disgraceful.

480
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 5: I think they should pay these people. These people are

481
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 5: going through a lot right now. They have families, these

482
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 5: men and women to do these jobs. And we're in

483
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 5: a conflict right now where they ran. And you know,

484
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 5: you think about the southern border, the Canadian border, or

485
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 5: the people even in the country, and you're thinking about

486
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 5: the people going through donlines at the airports or are

487
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 5: they waiting for something to happen so they get quitted?

488
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 5: Trump and say, gotcha.

489
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: I hope not. I mean I hope not, because obviously

490
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: when I get on an airplane, and when you get

491
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: on an airplane, you want to walk through that security,

492
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: make sure that you haven't brought anything with you, and

493
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: I want to make sure everybody else is clean as

494
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: a whistle too. That's what I'm concerned about. I want

495
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: to make sure, you.

496
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 5: Know, these people are stressed out enough the way it

497
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 5: is with there. They have very important jobs. And then

498
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 5: goes to the people on ice and all those people

499
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 5: in the DHS, they all have very important jobs. And

500
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 5: these people at the TSA, they I wouldn't be I

501
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 5: would be able to last that job for two minutes

502
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 5: what they go through. Yeah, and you know, we have

503
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: a lot of entitiled people from the playing they're jets

504
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 5: setting everywhere. They you know, then people even look at

505
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: them cross side. You know, they report them. All they

506
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,959
Speaker 5: people go through. Aren't a conflict right now? And then

507
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 5: people aren't being paid.

508
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 2: This is this is a shame they're not They're not

509
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: being paid a lot of money anywhere. I think that

510
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 2: I read somewhere that the average salary of a TSA

511
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: employee is like forty thousand dollars. Now, some of them

512
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: live in, you know, less expensive communities, but a lot

513
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: of them work at major airports. Whether it's New York, Boston, Philly, uh,

514
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: you know, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver.

515
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: Those are all major cities where the cost of living

516
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: is is great. And forty thousand dollars is not going

517
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: to mean a lot. And that means you're not going

518
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: to be able to build up a bank account. You're

519
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: going to need all that forty thousand dollars to put

520
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: food on the table and to have a car to

521
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: get to work, and probably to pay your rent or

522
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: your mortgage. And when they now miss a couple of paychecks,

523
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: it's really going to cause them a lot of problems.

524
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: Why Congress is trying to link this to if they

525
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: got a problem with ice next time, that ICE comes

526
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: up for funding, make your fight about Ice. Don't penalize

527
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: TSA workers. I mean, it makes no sense to me whatsoever.

528
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: And I think what's going to happen is that the

529
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: Republicans probably are going to basically say, hey, we want

530
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: to run this bill through a reconciliation process, which means

531
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: they'll only need a majority and they won't have to

532
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: have sixty votes. They'll get it done that way. But

533
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: it just isn't fair. It's just not fair. And by

534
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: the way, the Democratic Party is the party that fell

535
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: in the past, used to be in favor of working

536
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: people and used to be concerned about if union, if

537
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: union employees were working, and what their working conditions were. Obviously,

538
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 2: this Democratic Party that you have in Washington right now,

539
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: at least in Congress, doesn't think too much, doesn't think

540
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: too highly of you know, you know, blue collar Americans

541
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: who work for a living in my in my opinion,

542
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: at least for what they've been doing.

543
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 5: And the interesting part about all this is, you know,

544
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 5: they have these policies and they're more concerned about people

545
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 5: that don't belong here than they are the American citizens.

546
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 5: That that's the really sad part about it.

547
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you saw the you saw the the case of

548
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: this woman in Chicago who was killed over the weekend

549
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: by this guy who came into the country illegally. I

550
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: was arrested a couple of times and never thrown out

551
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: of the country. Have you seen that?

552
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 5: And they said he has TV guy knows how much

553
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 5: you spread that around?

554
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 6: Oh?

555
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: I didn't see that.

556
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, they said he's he's being quarantined because he has tuberculosis. Wow,

557
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 5: was a hot mess. He was just walk around confront people.

558
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but he he came here illegally. Uh. And

559
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: he he ends up killing someone a loyal or no

560
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: university student.

561
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 8: Uh.

562
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: And and she was doing nothing. She's a freshman from

563
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: New York and she's walking on I guess the lake

564
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: front of Lake Michigan. Her name was Sheridan Gorman, eighteen

565
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: years old, and and she's shot to death by this

566
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: guy twenty five for no reason. She's strolling along the pier.

567
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: I guess it's at something called Toby Prince Beach. I'm

568
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: not as familiar with Chicago as I am, but this

569
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: is a girl who's a freshman in college. She's starting

570
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: her life and and and her life is going to

571
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: be taken away by some guy who shouldn't be here.

572
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 5: And now, you know, like I said, we're in a conflict,

573
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 5: and you know, you know, you know what kind of

574
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: financial religious fanatics from other cuntries are just wanting either

575
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 5: in our cuntry right now or want me across that border.

576
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 5: You have the tsay not being paid and concerning this

577
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 5: Save America Act, you know what that wasn't podcast or

578
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 5: I can't remember his name right now, but he even

579
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 5: said he said, when that pandemic was going on, if

580
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 5: you didn't have a car that showed your vaccinations, you

581
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 5: couldn't get the first base. And that I think, you know,

582
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 5: being able to you know, voting in America if you

583
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 5: can't show just an I d it says, you go

584
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 5: on here just that you know that thing with the vaccinations.

585
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 5: They went nuts over that. I think you know, I

586
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 5: still have what TSA being a crucive byte.

587
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: I still have my vaccine card so and probably a

588
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: lot of people do as well. Look, you go to

589
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 2: a Red Sox, fine too, go to a Red Sox

590
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: game and try to try to buy a beer at

591
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: a Red Sox game, or for that matter, of the

592
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: pirates for a Phillies game without a piece of identification

593
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: not going to happen, simple as that. Right, you could

594
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: be ninety one hundred years old and they're still going

595
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: to say, can I have an ID? It used to

596
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: be funny when I was in my twenties and you

597
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: go to buy a case of beer and then say

598
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: to you, well let's see some I D because you

599
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: look a little younger, and you say, oh, I'm really

600
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: twenty five. Well, still good to see an ID. But

601
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: can you imagine when you're ninety and you're sitting there

602
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: at a ball game and you want to have a

603
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: beer on a hot Sunday after Saturday afternoon, and we'll

604
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: go to see an ID. I left my ID at home. Well,

605
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: good luck, good luck with that.

606
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 5: Exploy yourself. This is all politics, and those TSY workers

607
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 5: are suffer over this Andy God for a bid. We're

608
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 5: a conflict right now. When I ran, and I just hope,

609
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 5: you know, I hope, I hope I'm wrong. But with

610
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: the other shoot drops, I guarantee you the Democrats will

611
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 5: all be put at the president. Hey gotcha? And this

612
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 5: isn't right.

Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm telling you BZ Boston's

640
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: News Radio.

641
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: We're talking about the fact that TSA agents en up

642
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: and paid since mid February, and that a lot of

643
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: people who are traveling by plane last week and this

644
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: weekend have been mightily inconvenienced. Tim and Ruber and hey Tim,

645
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: how are you buddy?

646
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 7: Oh good Dan, I just came in. You were talking

647
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 7: about Iran and I think the President gave him five

648
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 7: more days.

649
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to talk about that actually at eleven,

650
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: or rather at ten o'clock. Tim, we're talking this hour

651
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: about the TSA, the lines at the TSA checkpoints at

652
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 2: the airport, and the fact that the TSA agents who

653
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 2: make you know, maybe forty thousand dollars a year, then

654
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: they're not you know, paid very much, and they haven't

655
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: had a paycheck since the middle of February. How can

656
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: you live on that? And I just hope that we

657
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: can get more people a little bit more are concerned

658
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 2: about their plight, and I don't. I just think that

659
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: whenever some federal uh organization is not being paid, then

660
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 2: the members of Congress should not be paid as well.

661
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 2: And I think that would stop a lot of this foolishness.

662
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 8: Yeah.

663
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 7: And I talked to doctor sal and leant to see

664
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 7: him maya Jew and he's gonna take some X rays

665
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 7: to see if I can be a candidate for dental ENDPIRET.

666
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,399

Speaker 8: in the above.

691
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:28,040

00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 6: So oh so I just my wife and I we

00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 6: I have white airplanes.

696
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: No, it's it's a lot of hassle. I'll tell you.

697
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 2: I went to New York last last fall and went

698
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: by train, and it was it was a lot easier,

699
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: it was a lot more. Oh, I'm sure we're comfortable

700
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 2: as well. You know, it just was.

701
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 8: But I do have a question because I don't know

702
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 8: and I haven't heard.

703
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 6: Okay, if Congress gets off, it's whatever, it's tough and

704
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 6: well there, thank you. I was that that one didn't

705
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 6: come up in my mind. If they get get it

706
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 6: together and they they pass a bill, whatever, do the

707
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 6: TSA agents. Yep, get paid for back pay.

708
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely. As a matter of fact, last time President

709
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: Trump provided that last comment shotdown last fall, provided a

710
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars bonus check to a lot of these

711
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 2: folks who came in every day, never called in sick once.

712
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: As I understand it. Yeah, they'll definitely can get their

713
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: back pay. But still they got rent to pay, they

714
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 2: got groceries to buy. Oh, no one, no one's going

715
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: to look at them and say, hey, well we'll forgive

716
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: your rent or we'll pay your groceries for you for

717
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: this month. No, it's not fair, you know.

718
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 8: No, No, I understand, And that's the that was the

719
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 8: point I didn't know.

720
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 2: Well you know it now, and I'm glad you asked

721
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: the question. I should have made the point myself. Pete's

722
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: always so great to talk with you, and will right,

723
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: And it's.

724
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 6: Too bad I called a little early because I really

725
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 6: want to listen to what the next hour is going

726
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 6: to be. But I used up my call for the week.

727

733
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: be short term. This I want victory. I wanted to

734
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: get resolved, but I wanted to get resolved in our

735
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: terms and also terms which will benefit the State of

736
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 2: Israel and provide them with security they've never had for

737
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 2: the last five decades. Coming back on night, Shide
