1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray w BZY, Boston's new radio. 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: All Right, it is now after ten o'clock, ten o seven. 3 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 2: My name is Dan Ray, and we are basically doing 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: our post mortem on a very tough night for the 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 2: Republican Party. I know my good friend Scott Brown called 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: in last night and thought that the results in Virginia 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: and New Jersey and New York were of little relevance. 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: And he may be right in terms of New Hampshire, 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: but I do think that there is relevance from all 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: of these elections. Last night, and we're going to talk 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: about the national elections. We talked about Massachusetts, where everything 12 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 2: happened as you would expect. All the Democrats who people 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 2: complained about for years were returned to office. But that's 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: the way it works in Massachusetts. The results in Virginia 15 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: and New Jersey are the ones that I'm sure the 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: Republicans are looking at tonight, and they just took They 17 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: just took a whooping last night. It's as simple as that. 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: I know. 19 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 2: The President today had a meeting with Senators and there 20 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: were some remarks that he made about last night, which 21 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 2: I will share with you, but I want to prefer 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 2: to get to phone callers. So the more callers get, 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: the happier. I am always on a topic like this, 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: I'd like to know what you think. I mean. A 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 2: year ago, Donald Trump swept to victory. It wasn't, as 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: he said, a mandate, but he did win all of 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: the seven toss up states, the Pennsylvania's and the Michigans 28 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: and the Arizonas of the states that really matter because 29 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: those are the states that decide the elections. Everybody knows 30 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: that Texas will vote Republican, in California will vote Democratic. 31 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: We understand that. But these other states, and and they 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: change every year, but the states. Georgia was one of 33 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: the states last year. So what I want to do 34 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: is let's let's roll with some callers and then I 35 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: want want to hear from some of the victorious Democrats. 36 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: I also want to hear from the president.

The guy in New Jersey who many 54 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: thought had the best chance to actually pick up a win. 55 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: In New Jersey, Donald Trump had nearly two million votes. 56 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: He had one million, nine hundred and sixty eight two 57 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen.

They had a thing on today on bed 107 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 4: because that's what I listened. 108 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: To all day. 109 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 4: I don't have TV. I cut out the cable bill 110 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 4: because it got so expensive to save a little money. 111 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: What were you paying for cable up in New Hampshire. 112 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: If I could ask you, when you got one hundred 113 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 4: and seventy five. 114 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: It's more expensive in Massachusetts. 115 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: Be yeah, I'm sure it is.

So I cut 118 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 4: my hand out, hey before I do it. 119 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 2: Okay, If if you've got a place in Florida, you 120 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: spend some time down there in the winter time, I 121 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: bet you. 122 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I do. I just haven't gone down yet. 123 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: Good for you. 124 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: I enjoyed this time of year. 125 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: This is a beautiful time of year, there's no question. 126 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 2: But unfortunately this time of year comes up and ends abruptly, 127 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: and that's all. 128 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 4: Yeah it does. Yeah, Well, I got a quick question 129 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 4: for you. What happened with ment night? 130 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 2: I unfortunately think that the Our Revolution people hung on 131 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: by the skin of their teeth, and really if Yeah, 132 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: the folks who we had interviewed here did very well. 133 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: But the incumbents, as often happens, a lot of people 134 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: go to the polls and they'll vote for the incumbent. 135 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: But I suspect that there was a pretty strong message 136 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: sent in Medford last night, and right now there's a 137 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: lot of people who have been they're now aware of 138 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: what the Our Revolution people want to do. They want 139 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 2: to change the character of Medford, and I suspect they're 140 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: going to have a tougher time accomplishing what they wanted 141 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: to accomplish because now it's out there in the public 142 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: for all to see. 143 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. I know my parents had a house and met that. 144 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: I grew up in Metie, so that's why I was curious. 145 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely absolutely, Well, look enjoy your time when you're 146 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: in Florida. I hope you'll take a time some night 147 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: or many nights to listen to us and give us 148 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: a call from Florida. 149 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 4: Okay, take thanks, Dave, Yeah, bye bye, all. 150 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: Right, talk to you soon. Good night. Six one seven, two, five, 151 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: four ten thirty triple eight nine two nine ten thirty 152 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: or six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. We're 153 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: going to take a break when we have some lines 154 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: open field, free to join the conversation. I do want 155 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: to talk about national elections. The Republicans took a thumping 156 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: last night, and the question is this an anomaly, is 157 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: this an aberration? Or or has Donald Trump's charm used 158 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: air quote with that worn off? Uh? And will he'll 159 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 2: never be in the ballot again, He will not run 160 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: for re election for a third term. Uh. And he 161 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: obviously was able to pull a lot of people to 162 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: the polls. As I just explained in Virginia and New 163 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: Jersey that were no shows yesterday. If those folks had 164 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: gone to the polls, they might have won two Republican races. 165 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: But no, they might have had two Republicans governors. It 166 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: will not work out that way for sure. Matter As 167 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: a matter of fact, all of the the folks who 168 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: voted for Donald Trump would have had to have gone 169 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: to the polls to get Cindarelli across the finish line, 170 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: and the same number would have been almost They all 171 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: would have had to have voted to get Winsome Earl 172 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: Sears across the finish line. So again, every election is 173 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: a little different.

I'm looking 226 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 5: at the way he conducted his campaign. 227 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: Why let me ask you this. If I could Rachel 228 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: Why did hundreds of rabbis in uh in New York 229 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 2: warn people not to vote for this guy. 230 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 5: Is that that that's a very very different fraction and 231 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 5: that they're not starving. Believe me, they have plenty of money. Okay, 232 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 5: that group right there. 233 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 2: Jewish people money? Is that what you said? 234 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 5: But the thing is, I feel that, Rachel. I'm sure 235 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 5: they have money. I'm sure they do, just they're just 236 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 5: not like living off of snap benefits. And I feel 237 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 5: very verdly for people. But you know, it also was 238 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 5: a wonderful wake up call to everybody to make them 239 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 5: appreciate government and government services. I don't mind paying my taxes. 240 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,359 Speaker 5: I'm happily to pay them, and I donate to charvities 241 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 5: as well, because that's what we were supposed to do. 242 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 5: We're supposed to help a fellow human being as decent people. 243 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 5: You know, I believe in God. I always raised Catholic. 244 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 5: I'm married to a Jewish man and he's very liberal. 245 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 5: I could never marry anyone conservative, forget that. 246 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: So I don't think any conservative probably would want to 247 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: marry you, Rachel, either, which is good. I mean, you 248 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: don't want to marry somebody who. 249 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 5: Was always probably Oh my god. I mean, come on, 250 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 5: to be honest, we have to be on the same page. 251 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 5: It doesn't make sense. People don't even date people, but 252 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 5: it makes people really Let me just say this aside 253 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 5: from that, let people realize the importance of god government 254 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 5: and what Democrat states do. We pay more money into 255 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 5: the federal government the East and the West coast. Okay, 256 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 5: we get criticized the most, but yet we're supporting everybody 257 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 5: in between, which includes those Red states and everybody that's 258 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 5: you know, crying and they love Trump. 259 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: Well, a lot of a lot of the people in 260 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: the Red States. 261 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 5: If we go always more into the tax revenue, then 262 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 5: we people don't understand that. 263 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: So I want I want you to know that. Just 264 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: I'm giving you your first warning. Okay, you're not wearing 265 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: a bathing suit, right, I don't want to plank you 266 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: unless they have to. 267 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: You have done that before. 268 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: And there's a lot of surprise. There's a lot of 269 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: people in the flyover country who don't make a lot 270 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: of money. They're called farmers, uh, and they're people who 271 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: work with their hands, who feed the United States and 272 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: feed the world. And those of us in the east 273 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: to the West coast, we tend to look down on 274 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: them a little bit. A lot of us have great 275 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: jobs here on the East Coast and the West Coast, 276 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: and we should pay more money because we make more money. 277 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: I very much believe in a graduated income tax, but 278 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: I don't look down on people who work with their 279 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: hands and provide me and my family with the food 280 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: that we eat at our table every ding. 281 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 5: Got I am making assumptions. I'm not saying anything like that. 282 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 5: I've never said that about anybody for at their presision. 283 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 5: But the reason I was bringing up how much money 284 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 5: that the Democrat states pay into the system is that 285 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 5: when Trump says that he wants to cut federal dollars 286 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 5: to our states, all the Democrat governors should say, do 287 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 5: not give any more federal money to the US treasury. 288 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 5: If he wants to pull back in, we can too, 289 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 5: and they should start doing that. That's what my point was. 290 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: Okay, well, well, I think that's a really dumb point, Rachel. 291 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: I think that's one of the dumbest points I've heard 292 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: in a while, because if if Blue states were to 293 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: withhold money from the federal government and what you call, 294 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: in effect the start of a civil war, but beyond 295 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: that by withholding money from the federal government, the federal 296 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: government would not be able to help people with on 297 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: SNAP and other programs like that they couldn't provide for 298 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: the military. 299 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 5: It makes people realize how important Democrat states are and 300 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 5: how important like the university, they how much people like 301 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 5: a Hobbit. They're brilliant, but they're not shrewd, and they're 302 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 5: not clover, and they're not outspoken like me. And I 303 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 5: wrote a letter to the president of Hobbit, and I said, 304 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 5: do not do any more interviews, please. You're too passive. 305 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 5: You're too damn passive. 306 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: I think Rachel, the president of Harvard, probably could learn 307 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 2: a lot from you. 308 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 5: Uh you know, I said, I load a lot more 309 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 5: than that, But I don't want him to do anymore. 310 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 2: And Rachel, what sort of work did you do?

If you're a Democrat 343 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: and you want to take a victory lap without insulting, 344 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: you know, the middle of the country, that's fine too. 345 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 2: We back at Nightside right after this. 346 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. 347 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: Next up is my friend Harvey Silverglade. Harvey, Rachel's a 348 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: tough act to follow, but I'm sure you can handle it. Hi, Harvey, 349 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: how are you tonize? 350 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 3: Brian? Let me take on both of his hobbarts. 351 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 2: Sure. 352 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: Trump. The reason the Republicans are such a drubbing is 353 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 3: because the American people thought that they elected a president. 354 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 3: They have learned that they have elected an emperor. They 355 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: don't like it. It's that simple. 356 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a little hyperbolic, and I normally 357 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 2: would not accuse you of being hyperbolic. But he is 358 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 2: somebody who is a different breeder president, and I agree 359 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 2: with you that he needs to and I don't think 360 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: he will change his act. Look, you've you have been 361 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: involved in a legal dispute with him, Uh, and you've 362 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: sat across the table from him many years ago, and 363 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 2: he hasn't changed much, and I don't think he's going 364 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: to change much between now and three years from now, 365 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 2: whenever he leaves the White House. He he has trolled people. 366 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 2: He has engaged in offensive memes which are totally unnecessary 367 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: and beneath the dignity of the office, you know, putting 368 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: a sombreros on the leaders of the Democrats in Congress. 369 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 2: So there's there's no question that. 370 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 3: Dan, Yeah, Dan, despite the emroument's clothes of the Constitution, 371 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: he is profited by the estimates of between four and 372 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: seven billion dollars from the presidency. 373 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know how people arrive at that number, Harvey, 374 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 2: if you've looked at it, I respect you immensely, But 375 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. I know that there was some suggestions 376 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 2: that that because there were people lodged at some of 377 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: his hotels in Washington, or he've got a couple of 378 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: hotels in Washington, I guess. But and I know that 379 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: he's selling stuff on the internet. I know that he's 380 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: selling Trump watches and all of that. I don't know 381 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: that that is covered by the emoluments Clause. 382 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 3: And his sons haven't done badly either. 383 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 2: No, that's correct. But also his son in law probably 384 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: was instrumental as anyone in the Abraham Accords, which I 385 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: truly do have believed have led to the possibility I 386 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: emphasized the possibility of peace in the Middle East, which 387 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: for many years none of us ever believed was even 388 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: remotely possible. 389 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 3: Well, I agree about Jared Kushner, but we're not talking 390 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 3: about Jared Kushner. We're talking about what I'm saying. 391 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 2: He's married to one, he's married to a daughter, so 392 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: he's a son in law. Give me that, give me 393 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: that that ability. I don't know that the sons of 394 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 2: any have done anything illegal to profit. 395 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: I didn't. No, No, I think it's I think it's 396 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: unconstitutional for the president who have gotten so much money. Ever, 397 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: his son's is something else. But it does stink, and 398 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 3: he has made a fortune off of the presidency. 399 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: Okay, But my question is that I. 400 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 3: Think I think people don't like it. 401 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot about his character and his 402 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 2: demeanor that people don't like. I'm with you there, But 403 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: my question is, when you say four to six billion 404 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: dollars or whatever you said, I don't know how that 405 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: anyone arrives at that figure. I know that he's been 406 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 2: selling Trump watches, and I know that he had some 407 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 2: uh he's got some crypto site out there, but I 408 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 2: don't know that that's what the emoluments clause directs. I 409 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: believe that the emoluments Clause is directed at a president 410 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: receiving gifts from foreign foreign governments. 411 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 3: Well, he's done that as well. 412 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, again, the argument, for example would 413 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 2: be the airplane from the United Arab Emirates. Okay, but 414 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: I don't know that he has taken possession of that plane. 415 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 2: Understand that's going to the Defense Department. Am I incorrect 416 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: on that? 417 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're correct on that. 418 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out where someone comes up with 419 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: with the figure. My understanding is that he donates his salary. 420 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: And again I'm not defending him, Harvey. I agree with you. 421 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: His style and his demeanor is it's not He's not 422 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan, you know, I mean, And that's where where 423 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 2: I think his greatest failing Ronald Reagan could could turn 424 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: a phrase and make people smile. This guy is always 425 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: seems to be angry. 426 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: Well, you've got an explanation for why you know, people 427 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 3: have lived with him for long enough, and that's the 428 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: reason the Democrats and the Democrats are nothing to write 429 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 3: home about either. 430 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you might. I mean, I guess you could argue, 431 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 2: and I'd be interested in your reaction to this. Is 432 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: that the doge cuts as well as now the government shutdown, 433 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 2: has an adversely a greater impact negative impact on people 434 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: who live in Virginia because many of them worked for 435 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: the federal government than in any other state. But that 436 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,239 Speaker 2: would not explain the drubbing that the Republicans received in 437 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 2: both New Jersey and in Virginia. The thing that's interesting 438 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: is that he actually won about six hundred thousand more 439 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 2: votes in both Virginia and New Jersey than than the 440 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 2: Republicans won last night. So there's a significant number of 441 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 2: Americans who vote for Donald Trump and choose to stay 442 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: home when he's not on the ballot, and that's a 443 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: real problem for the Republican Party. 444 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 3: Well, you're assuming that Donald Trump is popp doing. 445 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 2: Now, Well, I think he's popular with his base and 446 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 2: he's never going to stand for re election in that 447 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 2: the whole thing he was trolling, and I think people 448 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 2: were upset about that. No one wants to see someone 449 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: running for well being elected twice to the presidency. He's 450 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 2: not going to do that, in my opinion. He can't 451 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: do it constitutionally. And he's admitted on the plane the 452 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: other day, so he will never be on the ballot again. 453 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: And the Republicans better worry about that because they I 454 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 2: don't know who else they have that can turn out 455 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 2: a vote like he could. 456 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 3: Now, can I take many, yes? 457 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 2: Please please do. 458 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: First of all, I do think he's an entire time 459 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: things that he said previously, and he was elected mayor 460 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 3: in the most Jewish city in the country. 461 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: Well now, but let me ask you that I don't 462 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: know what is the Jewish percentage in New York City. 463 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,479 Speaker 2: I don't know what that number is, but it's not fifty. 464 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 2: He got fifty percent of the vote, so he got 465 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: a lot of non Jewish votes as well. 466 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: Right, I think that people are in for a big 467 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 3: shock he is now. He wants to have free bus 468 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 3: fairs and free this and free that. 469 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 2: He's a socialist, no doubt, self admitted socialist. 470 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 3: What right self v playing socialist. What he is going 471 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 3: to do is drive all of the high owners and 472 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 3: there are many in New York City, all of those 473 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 3: high owners places like Florida, and there's going to be 474 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 3: a financial crisis in New York. He is not going 475 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 3: to have the money for all of this. 476 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: Well, the other thing to Harvey that's interesting is that 477 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,479 Speaker 2: at his rally last night, apparently normally when people are 478 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: excited about someone being elected in America, they'll yell USA, 479 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 2: or you know, they'll chant USA. The group last night 480 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 2: was chanting d Essay, Democratic Socialists of America, Yeah, and 481 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: the other. And I know that you're not a huge 482 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: sports fan, because I think in all the times we've 483 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: been together, we never talk sports. But there's a lot 484 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 2: of sports fans and great sports teams in New York 485 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: with great histories in all four major sports. A lot 486 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 2: of the professional athletes who would go to New York 487 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 2: because of the salaries that could be paid are now 488 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: going to look at what they'll be paying in taxes. 489 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: And I think that a lot of the New York 490 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: sports teams are going to be behind the eight ball 491 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: in attracting the top talent in football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. 492 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 3: Yep, this is going to be a disaster. 493 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: Well, that him being elected last night might have been 494 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: the one silver lining for the Republicans, I guess is 495 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 2: what I'm hearing you say. 496 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 3: But let me tell you what the problem was in 497 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 3: New York. Look at his opposition, the sexual harasser who 498 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: got driven out of the governorship of New York. It 499 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 3: was his main opposition. Well, his other opposition was the 500 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 3: perennial candidate Turwis Sliwar. 501 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, whose fame, whose game? Whose name? He gained his 502 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: fame as a member of the Guardian Angels when they 503 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: used to patrol the subways. Now Adams has had fallen 504 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 2: completely out of favor. He was the incumbent mayor. Well 505 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 2: he he had some issues, but compared to Cuomo's issues 506 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 2: some issues corruption, No, no, I get that. I get that. 507 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 2: It was like, you know, getting a couple of upgrades 508 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: on his airplane and all of that, and maybe there 509 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 2: was there were other things that I was unaware of. 510 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 2: But was Cuomo the answer. I don't know there was 511 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,959 Speaker 2: an answer, and I think that it was just this 512 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: guy's time and place.

Larry Glig used to shoot 530 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: people off the air. We can't do that, so we 531 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 2: plank people. But I hope I don't have to plank 532 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 2: anyone else to see a thing coming back on Night's side. 533 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 2: If you're a Republican, tell me what happened, And if 534 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: you're an honest Republican, you'll tell me you got whooped 535 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: last night. If you're a Democrat and you'd like to 536 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 2: take some credit or take a victory lap. Look, the 537 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: Democratic Party a week ago was in tough shape. Their 538 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 2: stock has risen in the last twenty four hours immensely, 539 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: forty eight hours, immensely. Coming back on Nightside. 540 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Boston's news radio. 541 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: Let's keep rolling and gonna go to John and Denim.

Yeah, 545 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 6: you asked her a simple question about anti semitical mark. 546 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: No, yep, that's it. 547 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, And did she answer your question? 548 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 2: No, of course not. 549 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: No. 550 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 6: Typical Democrats talk talk talk talk talk would not give 551 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 6: you a chance to say when you wanted. And she 552 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 6: she talks about the Democrats have plenty of money in 553 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 6: your answer to your president, this is your typical Democrat. Great, 554 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 6: right there, Well, I want to know what you think. 555 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: Let's let's leave it well, Rachel, and she's swimming. She's 556 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 2: swimming home to Lexington right now. So that's I don't think. 557 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 6: I wasn't surprised by anything. I was hoping a little different, 558 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 6: but I wasn't surprised by any of it. I think 559 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 6: is you might have touched on. I think a lot 560 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 6: of voters stayed home, and you know, throughout throughout the country, 561 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 6: and uh that I don't john that. 562 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: I don't understand. I don't understand unless people just don't 563 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 2: care and will allow government. I mean in Boston the 564 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: turnout was thirteen percent. 565 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 6: Yes, I think people just got to a point where 566 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 6: they think their votes don't matter anymore. That's all I 567 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 6: could come up with. I think you're not going to 568 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 6: make a difficult I think. 569 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 2: I think I think you're right. 570 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 6: I mean in this state, you know, if you I mean, 571 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 6: why do you're voting this state for a governor? I 572 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 6: mean when you know? Because when we don't, we don't, 573 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 6: we don't get the truth out. I think I said 574 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 6: this before that the Democrats have to allow the ignorance 575 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 6: and stupidity of the voter. Otherwise, if you talk about 576 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 6: facts straight fact, I saw it rick about all the 577 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 6: place You're talking about Trump, like when people criticize Trump 578 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 6: and prices, Yeah, do everything he was voted to do, 579 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,959 Speaker 6: and he said he was gonna do. I don't think 580 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 6: anybody surprised by what he's doing. 581 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: No, I mean I think that people probably are surprised 582 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: by the activity in the Caribbean against Venezuelan drug dealers. 583 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 2: But I think that's that is great if you can 584 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 2: blow up those boats and save the lives of hundreds 585 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 2: of Americans who were crazy enough at this point to 586 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 2: deal with any drug they could be laced with ventanyl Absolutely, yeah. 587 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 6: You just beat me to it. Just what to say? 588 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 6: Where would the outcry when we you know, our kids 589 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 6: were being killed by the drugs coming over here? Why 590 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 6: do the Democrats want to not believe in, you know, uh, 591 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 6: the rights of people? And I say, how do you 592 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 6: know there are the ones? Maybe they're intelligence perfect, they 593 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 6: know exactly who are they going after. 594 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 2: I don't know how many Venezuelans have a running around 595 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 2: in speed boats. I've looked at all of those those 596 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 2: boats that have been hit their high speedcraft, okay, and 597 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 2: they're not out for for an afternoon on the. 598 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 6: Water where we use Before Trump took over, when you 599 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 6: saw some of these stories about these kids who you know, 600 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 6: you know, granted, they think they're ordering something online and 601 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 6: next thing you know, they're dead, But there was never 602 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 6: an outcry because the Democrats were in charge and they 603 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 6: knew they were at fall for this and now Trump 604 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 6: is doing something about it, and why why why is 605 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 6: it so bad? I don't understand that. And again, not 606 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 6: to jump all over the place. I hear that Governor 607 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 6: California Newscum whatever his name is, talked about when he's 608 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 6: fort the lower prices and it didn't happen. It's like California, 609 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 6: of all places, you're gonna criticize somebody else five right now. 610 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that's that. That's fraught with irony, that's for sure. John. 611 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 2: I appreciate you your listening. I appreciate your calling, and 612 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: I appreciate your passion. And I'm want to hear more 613 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 2: people like you calling the program. I really mean that, Okay, 614 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,959 Speaker 2: we want people. I want people to get out and vote. 615 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: I don't I do you know, I know who I 616 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 2: might want to vote for. But it particularly in local elections, 617 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 2: your vote has a has a bigger value, a bigger 618 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 2: weight in a local election because there are fewer people 619 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 2: in your community than there are across the United States 620 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,800 Speaker 2: of America. So people who chose not to vote yesterday 621 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 2: in local elections made a huge mistake, in my opinion, 622 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 2: huge mistake. John. Appreciate you, Carl, Thank you much talk soon. Okay, 623 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 2: thank you. Let me go next to Tom and Dorchester. Tom, 624 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 2: if this is the Tom, I think it is had 625 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,439 Speaker 2: to be a disappointing night for you. 626 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 7: Little disappointing. But yeah, I don't know these elections and 627 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 7: I can't figure a lot. And heways, there's nors what 628 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 7: Hobby was talking about? Trump and Green. Trump's not popular. 629 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 7: I think he's the most popular human being on the planet, 630 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 7: and he's the most thought we learn this, kety, but 631 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 7: he's at least popular with the elite. 632 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 2: Well with Tom. His popularity rating in legitimate polls is down. Okay, 633 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 2: Now I don't know necessarily what it is. But he 634 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 2: he won an election a year ago. He won what 635 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 2: with like fifty one or a little less than fifty 636 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 2: one percent of the vote, And you know he talks 637 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 2: about it being a mandate. That's not a mandate. He 638 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 2: won a close election, and now he's he's alienating people 639 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 2: with his style. He's a little off putting, wouldn't you 640 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: say so? 641 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 7: No, not really parting with the elite. The elite had 642 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 7: this plan. I'm telling you that all. 643 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 2: Those people who voted in Virginia and New Jersey yesterday, 644 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure are not elites. 645 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 7: Tom, Well, they probably were on the vict somewhere. Well 646 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 7: what but they were probably had ad and there was 647 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 7: a lot of a lot of government workers want to 648 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 7: get my work. 649 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: There may have been an influence. There may have been 650 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: an influence. But what happened to all the Trump voters 651 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 2: in each of those elections? Donald Trump got six hundred 652 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 2: thousand more voters. Weren't those voters want enough to say, Okay, 653 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 2: if I voted for Trump and I think he's done 654 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 2: a good job, I now have to get a Republican. Uh. 655 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 2: They had a Republican governor, he had a great rating, 656 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 2: fifty popularity rating, and now it's going to have a Democrat. 657 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 2: They voted in Virginia for the attorney general who said 658 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 2: he wanted to put a bullet into the head of 659 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 2: the Republican House speaker. They you know, I mean, it's 660 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 2: it's insane. 661 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 7: You know, you're the word I love Donald Trump.
