1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: It's night with Dan Ray.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you Boston's radio.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: And for those of you who are Seattle Mariners fans,

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: realize that the Mariners are the only team in Major

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: League Baseball that has never played in a World Series.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Oh so close. They lose four to three. All right,

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: we're going to continue talking about retail thefts in Boston,

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: but unless we light these lines up, I have a

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: different topic we're going to get to. So let me

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: finish up with John, who was a holdover caller from

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: last hour. John, you had another point you wanted to make.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Go right ahead.

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it. Dan, And this I'm looking for

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: your legal expertise on this question. Now, residence in business.

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: Sometimes a business don't business, don't own the property, but

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: somebody's paying that property tax. Isn't part of that property

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 3: tax supposed to be protection from the government that we're

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: paying taxes to.

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: And protection from the government.

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm sorry that the government is supposed to

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: protect the business.

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: Well, the government, No, it's not quite that clear. What

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: the idea is that part of your property taxes which

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: you pay to the city here in Massachusetts, uh, would

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: be to support the police department and also to support

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: the fire department and right all of that, But but

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: you could still have a fire. I mean if if

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: the fire department chose not to show up and said, well,

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: we think they have property. No, that's never going to happen,

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: and the police department might not get there in time

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: to apprehend the thieves. Blood.

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: But isn't the city obligator to do everything in its

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: power to prevent these crimes.

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: Such, Well, it's not everything in their power. They're supposed

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: to provide police protection, but they can't stop every crime.

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: The problem is they coddle the criminals and instead of saying, look,

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: you and three other people just went in and you

38
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: stole you know, twenty seven one hundred dollars in total,

39
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: or four thousand dollars in total. This was a conspiracy.

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: We're going to charge each of you with the stealing

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: the four thousand dollars. Know. What they try to do

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: is they'll say, wow, that person only had you know,

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: one point two you know on one point two thousand dollars,

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: and we don't prosecute for that, so we're not going

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: to prosecute that. It's they have basically watered down criminal

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: law to the point where it almost encourages thieves if

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm someone who's a professional thief or someone

48
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: who's inclined to become a thief, And they say to me,

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: always a second, if i steal less than twelve hundred,

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be arrested. I'm not going to

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: be prosecuted, Thank you very much. Rachel rawlins, Oh yeah,

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: I may not do it because because or you might

53
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: not do it because you have a higher moral code

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: and you understand that by stealing from someone else, that's

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: that's wrong morally wrong. And in addition, even if you

56
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: steal or someone steals from a company and the company

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: has insurance for it, their insurance rates are going to

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: go up. Just like if you have a bunch of

59
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: car accidents, your automobile insurance rates will go up. Uh.

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: But but you can't pass along as a driver your

61
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: increased automobile insurance rates. But the company is going to

62
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: pass on the additional rates that they now have to

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: pay next year to their customers. So everybody suffers.

64
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: And I think l A, they finally got rid of

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: their soft arm crime.

66
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Da Garson whatever his name was.

67
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: He remember they showed two girls were arrested and they realize, uh, oh,

68
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: they don't play around anymore. They caught up. The whole

69
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: conversation was caught on video, and you can hear one

70
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: of them say westcrew, basically paraphrase Westcrew. These new people

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: don't play around anymore.

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I hear you. I totally that one. And the prosecutor

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: out there is I think it is a pretty good prosecutor.

74
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: From what I can understand. He came out against giving

75
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: some form of pardon or clemency to the Menendez brothers,

76
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: the two who killed their parents many many, many years ago.

77
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about the case to know the

78
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: ins and outs of it, so I don't want to

79
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: offer an opinion. But he looked at it, and he

80
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: came back and concluded that the Melenda's brothers needed to

81
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: stay in prison. So thank you very much, Thank you

82
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: very much. I appreciate it. John, keep calling the show,

83
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: all right, let me get one more in here. If

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: you want to talk about these retail thefts in Boston

85
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: and what can be done other than probably getting new

86
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: public officials, but what can be done in the short term,

87
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: feel free. Let me go to Dwayne in New Hampshire.

88
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Dwayne you are next on Nightsager, right.

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: Ahead, say Dan, can you I can hear you perfectly.

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: Like your next door a right one of the best

91
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: audios of the night.

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Oh listen, I can tell you a million stories.

93
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: Been in retail for over thirty eight years. Not enough

94
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 4: time to tell you everything that I've seen over my lifetime.

95
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: But this is something that can't be stopped unless we

96
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: start prosecuting. For Back in the day, you know, five

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: ten dollars.

98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: We used to prosecute.

99
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: Nowadays they you have your local police department. They don't

100
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 4: want to want you to call them if it's not

101
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: a prosecuting like level of one thousand dollars more. And

102
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: I know summer twelve, but twenty years ago I ran

103
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: a big retail store and it was one point two

104
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: percent shrinkage out of a retail store.

105
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: But that that's a nice word, that's a nice euphemism

106
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: meaning nothing shrank. One point two percent of the merchandise

107
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: disappeared because of theft.

108
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: And that's one store in this company, and it had

109
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: in store security. So all these things these folks are

110
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: saying are great. I love your idea, there's too much

111
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: risk surrounded by it and it's just there's just nothing

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: is going to stop it unless they start prosecuting. And

113
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: they yeah, and and they don't have enough police force.

114
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 4: And they were saying earlier to go back and and

115
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 4: go to be bothered by these small little crimes when

116
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: there's so much other crime going on.

117
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Well, that's part of it.

118
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: And at the same time, that's kind of what you're

119
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 4: dealing with.

120
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but these small little crimes on a small store

121
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: can put that store out of business. If you're you

122
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: said that you were running a big store of some sort,

123
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: don't have to tell us which one it was. But

124
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: if a big store loses one point two percent of

125
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: their merchandise, that's tough. But the big store might be

126
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: able to make up that loss or you know that

127
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: shrink into using that euphemism. But if you're a mom

128
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: and pop store and you have a bodego somewhere, and

129
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: I hope I'm pronouncing that that we're properly a small

130
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: variety store, uh A, in a relatively poor area. You're

131
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: providing a vital service to people in that community. And

132
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: if that service goes away, that community is going to

133
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: suffer consequences.

134
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely will.

135
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: But there's no focus. There's no focus on that. The

136
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: politicians could talk about. Well, you know, these are young kids.

137
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: We're not talking about some kid who gets caught smoking

138
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: a joint, you know, behind the football bleachers in high school.

139
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: We're not talking about cracking down and treating that kid

140
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: as some sort of big time drug dealer. We're not

141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: talking about a kid a couple of kids who have

142
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: a six pack behind behind. You know, whatever, uh you

143
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: could show, you can show. The criminal justice system has

144
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: always shown mercy to individuals first time offenders. But when

145
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: you basically say you can you can steal up to

146
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars and you're going to be immune from prosecution,

147
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: that's insane. That's not this leadership.

148
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: And the last the last retail store I worked for

149
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 4: before I retired, was it was you did not approach people.

150
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: They can walk out with whatever they wanted. You could

151
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: not do anything, you couldn't stop them, and it was

152
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: it was a it's a free for all. And that's

153
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 4: the mentality out there right now, and it's a shame.

154
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: But the pop stores.

155
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: They have to do something different from them because they're

156
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 4: not going to steal twelve hundred bucks from a small

157
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 4: mom and pop store.

158
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: No, but they can. They can steal fifty fifty bucks

159
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: this day, twenty bucks the next.

160
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 4: Day, and they can lead them dry you bet you.

161
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Hey, Dwayne, have you called from New Hampshire before or no?

162
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: Is this your first time calling?

163
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: I have dan, I'm sorry. I wish I could say

164
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: it was my first.

165
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, thank you very much, thank you

166
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: very much. I appreciate it. I hope you'll continue to call.

167
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: It was great call. Thank you.

168
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: I have a great night, great topic.

169
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break. Thank you, sir.

170
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: Good night. We'll take a quick break here and I'll

171
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: tell you what I'm going to give you about five

172
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: minutes if you want to continue this conversation. It's been

173
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: really inspiring because people really have responded to this, which

174
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate because it is not easy, uh, coming up

175
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: with ideas and subjects that people want to talk about.

176
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to read at some point tonight an interesting

177
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: comment from a listener. I'm not going to identify him,

178
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: but I will read that before the hour is up.

179
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: So if you want to continue to talk about that,

180
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: what are we going to do with these people who

181
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: basically are robbing stores? Blind. You saw the video over

182
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: the weekend, people running into a small Lulu Lemon store.

183
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Those are not big stores on Newberry Street, there are

184
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: a thousand square foot stores. If they're that and they

185
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: just go in broad daylight, doesn't matter. They scoop as

186
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: many items with hangars off the rack as possible, and

187
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: they book it for the door, and nobody stops them

188
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: and they're never caught. And I just think that, Hey,

189
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: why are those stores paying real estate taxes in Boston?

190
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: If that's the lack of response they get not only

191
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: from the police department, but from prosecutors. It's the rank

192
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: and file officers, It's the people who are setting policies.

193
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: Six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven,

194
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: nine three, ten thirty. This is a very quick break,

195
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: so down quickly. We'll be right back. You're on Night

196
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Side with Dan Ray on WBZY, Boston's news radio. Okay,

197
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: back we go. Let me get to Matt real quickly. Here, Matt,

198
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: got you up next, Go right ahead.

199
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 5: Matt Day, Dan Hydron, hope you had a good weekend, had.

200
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: A great weekend. What's your take on all of this? Matt?

201
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: You know, I see all over a lot of these

202
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 5: stop and hits where people are running, as you mentioned

203
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: in the video, and just break windows, grab a bunch

204
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 5: of high merchandise items in some places and run right

205
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: back out.

206
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: Yep.

207
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 5: And that you see these bodegas, these mom and pop

208
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 5: shops that people will not because it won't be the

209
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 5: same level of merchandise, but will really hit you know

210
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 5: where it's most thoughtful, and that's for the communities they

211
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: have are served by these you know, mom and pop shops,

212
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 5: and you know they are just long term Excuse me,

213
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: they are just long term shops for serving the community.

214
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 5: And in the ends of the law, it's both going

215
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 5: to be the same until when you find out that man,

216
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 5: I tell you value of the item. These things are

217
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 5: always going to happen everywhere, you know, having a way

218
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: to purtail it. Just don't see if there's anybody occurred

219
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 5: to happen.

220
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not exactly sure the point you're trying to make,

221
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: but I think the I think the point I'm hearing

222
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, is that, yeah, that when

223
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: you have a small mom and pop store, I call

224
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: it a variety store, a padago, whatever, bodego, a market

225
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: in a community on the corner store, and they provide

226
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: when someone needs to get some medication or you know,

227
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: just a bottle of aspirin or a bottle of adveil,

228
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: or a half a gallon of milk or whatever it is.

229
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: You're a loaf of bread. Those stores run on a

230
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: very tight or thin margin. They're not making a million dollars, okay.

231
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: These are people who are literally Sometimes it's family members

232
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: who are who are providing support for their own family.

233
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: They get on, they go out of business, and then

234
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: when they go out of business, then the politician can say, well,

235
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: we are a food desert here. There's nobody that's available here.

236
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: How come they're on supermarkets here? Well that's tragic, that's

237
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: absolutely tragic.

238
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 5: That's the coin I am trying to make. The main

239
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 5: point too, is that the law if you're stealing a

240
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 5: ten dollar bar of candy one of these places, there

241
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: are one hundred dollars of food from these local shops

242
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: or versus like a Lulu money, you steal something for

243
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 5: one hundred, the law is not going to look at

244
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 5: it in between what once a corporate and to see

245
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 5: it's there, right.

246
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: But I think they have to look at it and say,

247
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: look It doesn't matter if it's a moment pop store

248
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: or if it's corporation. They they're providing a service to

249
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: the community, whether it's again food or clothes or whatever.

250
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: And these people need protection. And you when you have

251
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: politicians come in and say we're not going to prosecute

252
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: people if they seal less than twelve hundred dollars, well,

253
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: guess what. There's a certain percentage of people in our

254
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: society who are inclined to steal. And if you're basically

255
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: giving them license to steal, which is crazy, as simple

256
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: as that. Hey, Matt, I appreciate you called good points

257
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: you made. Thank you as always. We will talk soon, okay,

258
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: thank you, sure, all right, thank you. Right back at you.

259
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Let me get David new Hampshire.

260
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 5: Dave.

261
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: I want to get you in here before the news

262
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the ar Go right ahead, Dave.

263
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: Hey, how you doing, Dan.

264
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. You take on all of this.

265
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, you've been in the hotels where you hang

266
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: up your clothes and you can't take the hangers off

267
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 6: the pipe. Yeah, you have to see that. Yeah, why

268
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 6: don't they do that that way? They can't, Yes, yank

269
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 6: the whole thing. They end up yanking nothing.

270
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: Well, they can. They can. They can take the clothes

271
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: off the hanger. I mean if when you when you

272
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: hang up a shirt in a hot and a hanger

273
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: like that, I think it's an interesting idea. They certainly

274
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: can't sweep up twenty hangers, but they could. They could

275
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: take a pull shirts, pants, whatever they it would be.

276
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: It probably would be an investment. If I were the

277
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: owner of Lulu Lemon, then I say, well, that's a

278
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: pretty good that's going to minimize what they can do

279
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: in one fell Swamp. But yeah, but it's not going

280
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: to prevent them from coming in and doing what they

281
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: want to do, which is basically rip people off.

282
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 6: And the other the other idea I was second. You

283
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 6: know how you and the old shoe stores like we

284
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 6: used to go in. My mother would take me in

285
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: and the salesman would pitch your for shoes, what size

286
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 6: you wear. He'd go in the back room and take

287
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 6: the shoes out, not like you go to Bob's store

288
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 6: or something and the sneakers all over the place. Yeah,

289
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 6: there's only one sample out there. Like you go in

290
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 6: the Macy's, there's a sample out there, usually only one shoe.

291
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 6: So you can't steal the sample.

292
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: No, right, Well, it's a serious problem, and I think

293
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: that we need to treat it more seriously. We've had

294
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: some really good suggestions tonight, and I am happy about it.

295
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: I am happy about it, and yours is a good

296
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: one as well. And I didn't think that we'd get

297
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: two and a half hours out of this topic. But

298
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: there's a sense out there that people are outraged, and

299
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm outraged about it as well, and I hope, I

300
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: hope someone does something about it. And I think they

301
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: got to write immediately make announcements from district attorney's offices

302
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: that if you come into this district and you shoplift,

303
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: you'll be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

304
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: And the full extent of the law doesn't have a

305
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: limit on how much you can you can shoplift. You

306
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: shoplift anything, We're coming after you.

307
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, all right, all right, beg you, Dave, Okay,

308
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: take care.

309
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: Thank you for your call. Appreciate it very much. Okay,

310
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try one more here before the break, and

311
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: then we will break for news. Tom and Norton, go

312
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: right ahead, Tom, You're next on Night Side.

313
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan, thanks for having me on. And I do

314
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 2: feel bad for anybody that's running a small business than

315
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: continuing gets wiped out like that. Well, yeah, just just

316
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: too soft. And nobody's afraid of going to jail because

317
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: nobody goes to jail when they catch people doing this

318
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: fashion grab stuff. What if they were to you know,

319
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: suspend their driver's licenses, just really inconvenience these people to

320
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: the point where they don't want to do it, or

321
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: perhaps if they're in any type of government assistance situation

322
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: that you that you deny them their further assistance if

323
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 2: they're not playing by the rule should.

324
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: Be Yeah, I think those I think those are positive ideas.

325
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that I talked about

326
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: last week, which is kind of similar to what you're suggesting.

327
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, these kids who were doing the street meetups

328
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: and they're taking over intersections and they're driving cars wildly,

329
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: which is dangerous for them and also for other people.

330
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: The group that lit the police car on fire here

331
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: in Boston a couple of weeks ago, and the two

332
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: kids from Rhode Island are facing charges of that. You're

333
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: familiar with that stuff, right.

334
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: They would make watch some roadway highway accident.

335
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: Well, here's what I think. I think that if someone

336
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: is arrested, uh in one of those street meetups, that

337
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: if the governor was really serious about her cracking down

338
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: on that. Just as if you are using your car

339
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: to transport and sell drugs, they can confiscate your car

340
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: because it would used in the in the in the

341
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: in the criminal activity selling drugs, or if they.

342
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: Said a lot of money side up in their car.

343
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: Exactly, basically, we're gonna confiscate the car. You're gonna lose

344
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: the right because your car is it is. Without your car,

345
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: you can't do these meetups, you can't get to the

346
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: meetups without the car, you can't drive in circles and

347
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: do donuts in the street, and so therefore you lose

348
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: your car. That will stop that immediately when a few

349
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: kids lose their cars, because kids that age, their car

350
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: is their lifeline. Without their car, they're sitting in home

351
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: but mom and dad every night.

352
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not gonna want especially if if they earn

353
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: their car with their own money, they're not gonna risk it.

354
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: Well even even if of it if they're using mom

355
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: and dad's car to have mom and dad lose their

356
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: car because they they gave the car, they allowed the child,

357
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: the kid, the the young person to use the car. Uh,

358
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: and that car was involved in the commission of a

359
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: crime and it's confiscated. I think we got to start

360
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: thinking outside the box here, you know, and I know

361
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: that the ACLU will come and say, where you're calling

362
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: confiscate someone's car. Well, if you can confiscate their car

363
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: because it was it was it was necessary, it was

364
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: used in drug dealing. You got to be able to

365
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: get from point A to point B. Why not?

366
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: This just the thought I want to get back to

367
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: smash and grab kids that a lot of these kids

368
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: are juvenile. You've got some fifteen year old kids out

369
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: there smash and grabbing. How about the put some heat

370
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: on the parents, you know, them responsible. If your dog

371
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: ran down the street and up the neighbor's kids, you're

372
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: on the hook for that. You're responsible.

373
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to be responsible. From a similar civil

374
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: point of view, there was the case said Michigan where

375
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: that kid went in and shot and killed some students

376
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: in Michigan and both of his parents were put in

377
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: jail because they did.

378
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: The handgun They left the gun line around the house.

379
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I don't know that you can. I

380
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: think by taking the car away and linking the car

381
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: to the crime and that being the rationale for taking

382
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: the car away, I think I think that's that's going

383
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: to cost some some concern within the family, just the thought,

384
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: just the thought, Hey Tom, I gotta let you run

385
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: because the minute of my newscast. Thanks for calling, Okay,

386
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it very much. Bottom line is, I thinks everyone

387
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: agrees tonight we have to do whatever we can do

388
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: to stop this. This this petty it's it's not petty crime,

389
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: but it's it's crime that anybody can engage in. I mean,

390
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: the the people who stole the diamonds and the heirlooms

391
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: from the Louver the other day, they had to really

392
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: work on that for a while. It doesn't take much

393
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: to go into a Lulu Lemon or somewhere like that,

394
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: and it should not take much for the justice system

395
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: to snap back at these kids when they're when they're

396
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: doing this at that level. I have wide open lines.

397
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: I'd love to continue on this. If not, I have

398
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: another topic I'm willing to go to, and I also

399
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: have a correspondent today which I have to read. But

Speaker 1: person on this program. Okay, we don't endorse the theft.

412
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,879

413
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: and I hope you'll join us in support of that

414
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: and either waking these politicians and these prosecutors up in there.

415
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: There's some really good ones in Massachusetts, but there's some

416
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: real losers as well. Let's wake them up and make

417
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: them get with the program. Our program back on night Side,

418
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: It's night Side with.

419
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 7: Boston's news Radio.

420
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: We have talked for two and a half hours tonight

421
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: about the groups of young people, and they do appear

422
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: to be young people on cameras who have been going

423
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: into some of the high end retail stores on Newberry

424
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: Street in Boston and around the city by the way,

425
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: elsewhere in the city as well. We had ed Flynn

426
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: with US City Councilor from nine to ten, Boston City Councilor,

427
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: and he made the point that you have these kids,

428
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: some of them are driving scooters, they have their quick mobility,

429
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: get in, get out, grab as much as you can.

430
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: And look, we've had a variety of top of ideas

431
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: tonight as to how maybe we can improve the security

432
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: in these stores. These kids. You saw the video again,

433
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: I keep using we're kids. They're not kids. They're these

434
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: young people, teenagers maybe early twenties. They know that there

435
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: are security cameras in the store. So the video has

436
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: been broadcast on all the Boston television stations, but it's

437
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: happening everywhere everywhere. So you have this pilferage not only

438
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: the outlandish actions of going into stores and just ripping

439
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: as much article, as many articles of clothing as you

440
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: can off the rack and just racing out out of

441
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: the store. So we've had we've covered that and you can.

442
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: You can check it out on Night's Side on demand

443
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: tomorrow and listen to the nine and ten or the

444
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: first half hour of the eleven. What I want to

445
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: do is I want to share with you a bit

446
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: of a frustration that I had earlier today. So I'm

447
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: going to if I can find this note that I

448
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: was saying. Yeah, So I'm not going to ident if

449
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: that person will send me the note, but a person

450
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: sent me a note, and I'm just going to give

451
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: you a quick read on it. Okay, The individual writes,

452
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: Dear Dan, I've written before. I respect your knowledge and

453
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: a broad spectrum of current events. I don't think you

454
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: like Trump, but your ratings are dependent on engaging as

455
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: many listeners as possible. I understand this, but I turn

456
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: off the show when the conversation turns to Trump. Now,

457
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: the conversation is not turned to Trump tonight, but that's okay.

458
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: It's about you. By the way, I think we agree

459
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: on legal immigrants. He's against legal immigration. I'm strong but

460
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: for fear, crime enforcement, better health and medical research for illnesses,

461
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: and meaningful education. Okay, okay, so your show on Friday night.

462
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: Last Friday night, we did an hour and asked listeners

463
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: if they were optimistic about the future of the country. Well,

464
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: we really didn't ask it that way, but that's okay.

465
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: We asked people whether they were optimist or pessimists. I'm

466
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: doom and gloom over. I'm not doom and gloom over,

467
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: but I don't seem much to make me optimistic about either.

468
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: He goes on and tell me that Trump is cruel, evil,

469
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: severely unbalanced, narcissistic bully. He doesn't see much hope in Schuman,

470
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: Harris and the Democratic Party full of people soft on

471
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: crime and legal immigration, national that just to name a few.

472
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: I see masses voting against someone as they're voting for someone.

473
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: These are the choices we were given. This will only

474
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: continue to divide us as a country. Nothing too optimistic here.

475
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: So the guys like a total downer, Okay, So I

476
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: wrote him back. I thought I'd a fairly polite response.

477
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I said, Hi, mentioned his first name, give me a call,

478
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: gave my number, love to chat. I want pro Trump

479
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: and anti Trump callers. I love to explain to you,

480
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: as you've explained to me, how I reconcile conflict between

481
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Trump's policy, some of which are good, with some of

482
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: his policies and ramblings, which are not good at all.

483
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,239
Speaker 1: I sure wish that you would remain a listener and

484
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: become a more active caller. Tonight's side all the best,

485
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Dan Right, thank you for the reply. My friend writes,

486
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: I listen, but not when the conversation turns to Trump.

487
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: Cad't do it. I'm an old country conservative leaning moderate,

488
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: whatever the hell that means. Now he just launches on Trump.

489
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: I know politicians lie, but not like this guy in

490
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: his cabinet. I'm fearful his mouth will get us into

491
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: serious economic or god forbid, a real war. Guy hates Trump.

492
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a good, very good talker, but a pretty

493
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: good listener. I like many of your guests. Look, I

494
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 1: wasted my time answering that email today. I'd like to

495
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: know if you agree with me on that. I think

496
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: I wasted my time because I want the gentleman wrote

497
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: an email that I thought was heartfelt, and I responded,

498
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: I said, give me a call, we can discuss it.

499
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: I do want people who have different views on this program.

500
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: That's what I've wanted from the day we began this program.

501
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: So I'm going to finish up tonight. I'm going to

502
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: save my topic. We're going to talk tomorrow night about

503
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: the fact that gas prices are now below three dollars

504
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: a gallon across the country. Thank god gas prices are down.

505
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: I will talk about that tomorrow night. I can't give it.

506
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: If you'd like to comment on it, I have fifteen minutes,

507
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: and if you'd like to say, hey, I'm thankful that

508
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: gas prices are down. We have a lot of doom

509
00:28:54,960 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: and gloom, and I think my writer was kind of

510
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: a doom and gloom guy. My question is did I

511
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: waste my time responding his email today? It took me

512
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: probably five minutes. It was five minutes that I won't

513
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: get back. I was hoping he would have the courtesy

514
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: to give me a call. We can have a conversation.

515
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: That's what we do here on nights side. I don't

516
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: read emails. I read his denight to show you what

517
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: a despondent individual sounds like. Guess what you had two elections.

518
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: You had two choices last last November. You voted either

519
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: for one or the other, or you voted against, and

520
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: therefore you voted for the other. Simple as that. Wake up,

521
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: grow up. I'm going to ask right now. I got

522
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes left. The new numbers from the Triple A

523
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: and from gas Buddy suggest gasoline prices have not been

524
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: as low in this country since two tho twenty one.

525
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: I celebrate that I drive a car. My car is

526
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: gasoline powered. Maybe I'm a neanderthal. Maybe you're in the

527
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: endothal give me a call if you If you disagree

528
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 1: and you're sad that gas prices are down, feel free

529
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: to give us a call either as well. Six one seven,

530
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: two five four ten thirty. That's one line six one

531
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: seven nine three one ten thirty. And also, did I

532
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: make a mistake? Should I answer emails like that in

533
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: the future? Because I only have so much time during

534
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: the day, I get phone calls from people all the time.

535
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: I would like your input on it. I really would

536
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: join us. We'll be back right after this. It's Night

537
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: Side with Dan Ray Boston's news Radio. All right, let's

538
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: keep rolling here. Let me go to Daryl and up

539
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: in Canada. Hey, Darryl, thank you for your tip on

540
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: that baseball card story the other night. We were able

541
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: to put it on Friday Night. I hope you heard it.

542
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 7: I heard the last end of it, but all I

543
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 7: heard was the clip and you know, basically I just

544
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 7: called Lefty the messaging.

545
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Well, no, you were very kind to point that out.

546
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: It turned out it was a story out of Providence,

547
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, and we were able to track it down.

548
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: And if you listen to Friday Nights nine o'clock hour,

549
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: you'll you'll hear it. It's a really interesting story as

550
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: you as you told us. The guy bought an old

551
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: trunk from the turn of the century, the turn of

552
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: the twenty twentieth century for seventy five dollars and paste

553
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: it on the inside of the cover of the trunk

554
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: were I don't know coase to one hundred and twenty

555
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: baseball cards from nineteen hundred around that and the glue

556
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: on the I thought that the glue on the baseball

557
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: cards would make the baseball cards worthless. I guess the

558
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: glue would drive up and they were able to take

559
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: the baseball cards off pretty easily, and some of them

560
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: are really valuable. So thank you for the tip. Daryl.

561
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 7: Hey, you're most welcome, and that might be a positive

562
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 7: for somebody else that there might be another trunk out

563
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 7: there well, for or.

564
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:12,000

565
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,640

00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 7: About tonight, Daryl, uh, I was calling in reference to

567
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,520

568
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 7: I would say, no, So, yeah, I'm surprised you didn't

610
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,400

00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 9: You might not, but you're not going to learn anything

620
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,279

621
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,520

622
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: answer more emails of emails that are negative. Then the

623
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: people will send me complimentary emails and I'll respond. I

624
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: try to thank you very much, keep listening, or something

625
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: like that. But when I try to write an email

626
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: in which I was hoping that this gentlemen would give

627
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: me a call, and I would say, look, we need

628

688
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,520

689
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 8: week when you had that lovely discussion with the lady

690
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:02,000

691
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 8: Israeli Palestinian situation.

692
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: Well, you know, James, she sent me a really long

693
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: email and she explained her set of circumstances to me.

694
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: I'm not going to read that because she disclosed some

695
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: private issues. She's forty year old woman, and she obviously

696
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: has had a different set of experiences maybe than you

697
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: and I. And I sent her an email today. I

698
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: actually sent it to her last night, and I hope

699
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: to hear back from her. I basically, she's dealing with

700
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: a tough circumstance which will remain between us, none of

701
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: us would would welcome. And I complimented her and I said,

702
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: thank you for trying to express yourself. I said, I

703
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: think we ended up talking past each other. I hope

704
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: she will call again and we'll have even a better conversation.

705
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, if you keep this up, you're almost becoming

706
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 8: a conservative congratulations.

707
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: I can think of myself as a conservative, James. I

708
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: think you know that. I mean, I get more critical,

709
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: I get criticism from both sides. But I think tomorrow

710
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: night we're going to talk about gas prices and President

711
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,439

712
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: at a four year long we'll talk about that tomorrow night.

713
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: I intended to talk about it tonight, but we just

714
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: we were too good on trying to get these district
