A week from tonight, on Monday night, November tenth, 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 2: we will have our annual college admissions panel. It will 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: run from We'll start at eight o'clock. Normally runs a 19 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: couple of hours. So this is an opportunity for any 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 2: college bound student, any high school student, any parent, any grandparent, 21 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: any relative to ask any questions about the college admissions 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: process to families who are for the first time trying 23 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 2: to find the right college for their high school student. 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: And again this search really starts seriously when they're freshmen 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: in high school. I know it's three or four years away, 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: but they have tests that come up that they have 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: to be ready for. They also have to learn about 28 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: different colleges and find the one that will fit their lifestyle. 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: Some kids want to live in the city, want to 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: go to a big, big city school. Others want to 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: be out in the suburbs somewhere, want to be in 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: a more rural area. We have all sorts of colleges 33 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: here in New England and of course around the country. 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: And you can talk with Bill Fitzimmons and who who's 35 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: at Harvard. Bill has done this with us. This will 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: be his nineteenth year, just an extraordinary run for him 37 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: here on night Side. As you know, we are talking 38 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: about the admissions process. We're not getting into any of 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: the politics that has kind of swirled around Harvard for 40 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: the last few years. And we'll also talk with the 41 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: director of admissions from Boston College. We started off with 42 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: John Mahoney many years ago and we now have John successor, 43 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: who does a great job with us as well. So 44 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: everything is set for next Monday night beginning at eight o'clock, 45 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: and I would encourage all of you to reach out 46 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: to your to your to your family, and to your 47 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: particularly young people. And this is an opportunity for someone 48 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: who is young to actually talk to the head of 49 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: Harvard's admissions office, Bill fitz Simmons, has been there for 50 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: my god, how many years, forty years maybe at least, 51 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: or Grant Gosling who represents Boston College and he has 52 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: been with us now for four or five years. They're experienced, 53 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: and you don't have to you don't have if you're 54 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: not interested in going to Harvard of Boston College. You 55 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: can ask them the questions that they will tell. They 56 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: will give you secrets and give you insights that you 57 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: could get from very very few people in this country. 58 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: And that's why the College Admissions Panel is, to my 59 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: way of thinking, one of the most important that one 60 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: of the most important couple of hours of radio we 61 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: do every year. So having put that aside, I want 62 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: to talk about an event last night that caught my 63 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: eye and I thought it was really good and it 64 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: was interesting. I have some observations on it. I hope 65 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: you do as well. The former lead anchor at that point, 66 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: the solo anchor, Nora O'Donnell of the CBS Evening News. 67 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: Uh. 68 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: It is now co anchored by a couple of people 69 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: who I think are going to be replaced fairly soon. 70 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: There's a lot going on with CBS. They were just bought. 71 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: The CBS has undergone a tremendous transition. The new head 72 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: of the CBS News division is a woman named Barry Weiss, 73 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: who actually is an outspoken conservative. And it was really 74 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: interesting knowing that the leadership of CBS News I'm talking 75 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: about the network now has changed and probably will change 76 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: more in the next few weeks, in the next few months. 77 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: Nora O'Donnell sat down with President Donald Trump, and I thought, 78 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 2: apparently it was a ninety minute interview and they ended 79 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: up doing whatever it was thirty minutes per air. But 80 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: I thought it was a very fair presentation. I thought 81 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: that she asked really tough questions, and I thought that 82 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: he snapped back with really good answers. They both were 83 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: on the top of their game. In my opinion. He 84 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: as a president who has done some things that have 85 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: caused controversy. They talked about the mayoral race in New York, 86 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: which is Donald Trump's hometown, a city that he has 87 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 2: never won in his three presidential elections, in a city 88 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 2: that tomorrow may vote into office for the first time 89 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: in avout socialist. But that will have to see what 90 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: the results are tomorrow. Night talked about he was challenged 91 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: on whether or not he was involved in any of 92 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: the indictments of Comy Bolton or New York Attorney General 93 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: Letitia James. This was sort of the tone of it. 94 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: O'Donnell had good questions and the President had really good answers. 95 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 2: So let's start off with cut number three. This was 96 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: again CBS. She's now, I guess like a special correspondent, 97 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: and last night was on sixty minutes cut number three. 98 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: Please Rob James call Mey John Bolton, Letitia James were 99 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 4: all recently indicted. There's a pattern to these names. They're 100 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 4: all public figures who have publicly denounced you. Is it 101 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 4: political retribute? 102 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 5: No one you know who got indicted the man you're 103 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 5: looking at. I got indicted and I was innocent. And 104 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 5: here I am because I was able to beat all 105 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 5: of the nonsense that was thrown at me. And yet 106 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 5: when you go after a dirty cop like call me 107 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 5: or a guy like Bolton, who I hear has I 108 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 5: don't know anything about it. I hear he took records 109 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 5: all over the place. 110 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 2: Who knows. 111 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 5: Leticia James is a terrible, dishonest person in my opinion. 112 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: No punches being pulled, either in the questions or or 113 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: the answer. O'Donnell followed up with what you would expect, 114 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: a good tough question. Cut three A rob. 115 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 4: Did you instruct the Department of Justice to go I'm 116 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 4: not in any way, shape or form. 117 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 5: No, you don't have to instruct them because they were 118 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 5: so dirty, they were so crooked, they were so corrupt 119 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 5: that the honest people we have, Pam Bondi's doing a 120 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 5: very good job, Cash Mattel's doing a very good job. 121 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 5: The honest people that we have go after them automatically. 122 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: And one other follow up question again same topic, but 123 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: she didn't she asked good follow up questions were phrase well, 124 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 2: and she allowed him the courtesy of giving his answers 125 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: whether she was satisfied the answers or not. This was 126 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 2: three B rob, Please. 127 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: Is this retribution? 128 00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 6: Now? 129 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: What's the opposite? I think I've been very mild mannered. 130 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 5: You're looking at a man who was indicted many times, 131 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 5: and I had to beat the rap. Otherwise I couldn't 132 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 5: have run for president. They tried to get me not 133 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 5: to run for president by going after me and by 134 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 5: indicting me. 135 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: Again. I thought, I thought that she, as a journalist, 136 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: did a good job asking there were no softball questions, 137 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: and I thought that the President did a good job 138 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: in snapping back at her. And I don't know how 139 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: many of you watched it last night on sixty minutes. 140 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: I think it's a show that you need to watch. 141 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 2: But that's your decision. Maybe some of you was, well, 142 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: it's on after the football game. It was on after 143 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 2: the Bill's Chiefs game, so it was delayed a little bit. 144 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: Then the President was asked about some other topics, and 145 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: we'll get to those. I just want to I want 146 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 2: to hear your reaction to what happened last night. I 147 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: also would like to hear what some of you are 148 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: thinking about tomorrow. This time tomorrow night, we will know. 149 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 2: I assume who the next governor of Virginia is, and 150 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: who the next governor of New Jersey is, and who 151 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: the next mayor of New York is, And if any 152 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: of you would like to comment, on those races, Let's 153 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: make this a little bit of a political hour. A 154 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: year from today, November third, twenty twenty six, is the 155 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: mid term election, the all important midterm election, but tomorrow 156 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: may provide us some insight as to what people at 157 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: least in two states are thinking about Donald Trump and 158 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: what people in New York are thinking about their future. 159 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 2: Six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, nine, 160 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: three one ten thirty. Let's have a little bit of 161 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 2: fun with this, whatever your point is. If you I 162 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 2: believe that that I was scoring last night as really 163 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 2: good journalism, uh and and good reaction, Donald Trump was 164 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: on his feet. I could not see Joe Biden a 165 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 2: year ago being subjected to a series of questions, legitimate 166 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: questions that Nora O'Donnell confronted President Trump with. There's no 167 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: way that Joe Biden ever would have been in that situation. 168 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: And if there was ever a clear difference between Donald 169 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 2: Trump and Joe Biden, it existed. I mean, there's a 170 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: lot of differences. Nobody could keep up with what he 171 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 2: does in terms of his schedule six seven, two, five, 172 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty. 173 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: Coming right back on a Monday night here on NIGHTSID. 174 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 2: We got a full week in front of us. It'll 175 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 2: be a big nights one night, we will follow all 176 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: the We'll have the late numbers. Uh. There's some interesting 177 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: city council races in Boston that are going on. We 178 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: can already announce that mayor will be re elected tomorrow 179 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: night before any votes have been cassed. I wish that 180 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: Josh Kraft had remained in the race. I wish that 181 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: people gave him more of a chance. But it is done, 182 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: and he gave it his best shot. He presented himself 183 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: more people should have responded, in my opinion, back on Nightside, 184 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: right after these messages. 185 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's 186 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: news radio. 187 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 2: Okay, I can't imagine that none of you saw the 188 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: sixty minutes piece last night. If you're not watching sixty minutes, 189 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 2: I don't understand that. Whether you agree with how the 190 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: stories are presented, I thought last night, and I am 191 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: not I was never the biggest fan of noh O'Donnell's objectivity, 192 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: but I thought she did a good job last night. 193 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: And if you agree, would love to hear from you. 194 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: If you agree, I'd even be more anxious there for 195 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: you to Bill and Danvers. Bill, did you get a 196 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: chance to watch that interview last night in sixty minutes? 197 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't know he was going to be on, 198 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 7: and I was finishing. 199 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 6: Dinner someplace and was on the TV and then they 200 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 6: switched over there in the football. So I made it 201 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 6: a point when today it was quiet at work and 202 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 6: I had the laptop and I was caught up, and 203 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 6: I went back to watch it, and uh, I usually 204 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 6: you don't watch sixty minutes. I'm really not that impressed 205 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 6: with see you know their record, but I mean i'd say, 206 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 6: I say it was a B minus for sixty minutes. 207 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 6: I thought it was fairly solid to kind of contrige, 208 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 6: you know what I mean. Jeeves, it wasn't bad, you know, 209 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 6: and you. 210 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: Know he made point. Well, well, here's my question. I 211 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: don't think that. Uh, I know you're a Trump guy, Okay, 212 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: so I'm I'm I'm speaking everything that that you say, 213 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 2: you know, through that filter, which is fine. I thought 214 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: that the president looked very much in control, very much 215 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: in command last night. He had facts and he had 216 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: arguments lined up. There was no hesitation. I thought he 217 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: looked as good as I've seen him in any interview setting. 218 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: And I think that he rose to the occasion. I 219 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: thought her questions were good. I thought they were straightforward. 220 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: They weren't got your questions and I and and she 221 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 2: allowed him to answer. I thought it was a good 222 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 2: performance for both of them. If you're a Nora o'donnelld Fan, 223 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: and I'm not necessarily a Nora o'donnald Fan, I thought 224 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: she did a good job. 225 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 7: It might have been even better, but it was a 226 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 7: little bit longer. 227 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 6: I might have wanted to see a little bit more, 228 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 6: to give him a little more, because he didn't. 229 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 7: I mean, it did get rolland and he squeezed a lot. 230 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 6: In and but I would like to have seen him 231 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 6: talk a little bit about the energy and what he's 232 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 6: done in that department. He did talk a little bit 233 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 6: about about the power plant AI and she was looking. 234 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: You know, she's a news person, okay, so so she 235 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: she she started, well, I mean, I don't this sequence, 236 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: but she wanted to talk about the mayor or race 237 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: in New York. He was more than willing to rise 238 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: to that occasion. She talked with him about ice and 239 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 2: challenged him a little bit let me let me just play. 240 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: Let me get your reaction to a couple here. Okay, 241 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: this was This was him being asked about Mamdani. The 242 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: guy's a thirty four year old socialist born in Uganda 243 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: who was about maybe to become the next mayor of 244 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: New York. So let me just play this. This is 245 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: in long, it's only seventeen seconds. I want to get 246 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: your reaction to what how she asked the question and 247 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: his response to it cut. 248 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: Number one Rob Zorhan Mandani, thirty four year old democratic socialist. 249 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: He's the non socialist communist. He's far worse. 250 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 4: Than some people have compared him to a left wing 251 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 4: version of you, charismatic breaking the old rules. What do 252 00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 4: you think about that? 253 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 5: Well, I think I'm a much better looking person than him, right, 254 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 5: you know. 255 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: I mean I thought it was I thought it was 256 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: a uh it was. It was entertaining, and I thought 257 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: that they both came across as as fairly normal human beings. 258 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 6: Yeah no, I mean for sixty minutes, you know it 259 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 6: was it was definitely uh. 260 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 8: You know good. 261 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 6: And you know he did he did put the jab in. 262 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 6: He did put the jab in the you know, he 263 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 6: goes not there you know, I don't know if you 264 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 6: want to hear this, but you know, uh, I don't 265 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 6: want he got on was was the sixty million or 266 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 6: whatever the case was. You know, he had to get 267 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 6: that into you know. 268 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: But yeah, well no, that that probably was why she 269 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: was she was in Well again, I'm just looking at 270 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: it as a journalist here, and I think that that 271 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: he he acquitted himself very well last night. Uh and 272 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: she asked him tough questions, but asked him questions in 273 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: a response us away. And I think that the lesson 274 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: I took from it was imagine if Joe Biden had won, 275 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 2: or if Kamala Harrison had won. I think the tone 276 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: of the interview would have been decidedly different. And he 277 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: doesn't he doesn't mess around. I mean, the one thing 278 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: that about him is what you see is what you get. 279 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 2: That might be his greatest strength, it might be his 280 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: greatest fault. 281 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 6: Well, to be honest with you, I think it's worked 282 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 6: more forum than that too, because the least you know, 283 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 6: you know where he stands, and uh, well yeah that's uh, 284 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 6: you know what he you know, what he has to 285 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 6: do is he really has to address the nation about 286 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 6: this this shutdown and put some chots up like Ross 287 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 6: pro used to and explain to people because people don't 288 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 6: really know you need sixty boats and we don't think 289 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 6: suffects anymore, you know. 290 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: And uh and I totally agree with you on that one. 291 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: But here's the other thing, Bill. The problem is that 292 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 2: there are a lot of people in our country, and 293 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 2: I'm going to say this, I'm going to get in 294 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: trouble for it, who do not have a clue. They 295 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: do not have a clue. There are people who are 296 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 2: going to vote for Mamdani tomorrow who have no clue 297 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: about what this is going to mean for New York City. 298 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: New York City will not survive as we know it 299 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 2: if this guy is elected mayor of New York. 300 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 6: Well, unfortunately, they're going to find out the. 301 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 7: Hardway. 302 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 6: And it's a shame, you know what I mean. I 303 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 6: go to New York once in a while, just you know, 304 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 6: it's close by. Am I leave in the morning, I 305 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 6: stay one night, I do a few things, and over 306 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 6: the years I've seen there. I took the helicopter up 307 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 6: over you know, Lower Manhattan and went over on the 308 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 6: Statue of Liberty. Great views and you know it's expensive city, 309 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 6: but I've had cousins come in and I'll meet him 310 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 6: in New York and we'll do something. We'll go to 311 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 6: Little Lialy. I took him to Yankee Stadium this year. 312 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 6: I guess the tickets. I was down in the Bronx 313 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 6: with him. And but you know the way it's gonna go. 314 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,959 Speaker 6: I mean, you're gonna be the morale the police departed. 315 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 6: I could just see total do that. I mean, I mean, 316 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 6: it's gonna be nineteen seventies of steroids. It's a shame. 317 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 2: Well, I think it'd be worse than nineteen than the 318 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: nineteen seventies because most of the well to do I 319 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: think a lot of people are going to leave New 320 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 2: York if this guy. I mean, I know what the 321 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: taxes are in New York right now, and you just 322 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 2: can't give free steff away. I was talking with someone 323 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: today about the situation, and you know, he's the people 324 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: who were voting for him think it'll be free groceries, 325 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: it'll be free buses, it'll be free everything. Now, you 326 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 2: have to be a complete knucklehead if you think that 327 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 2: he is going to be able to provide you with 328 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: all that free stuff. I mean, it's just it's fantasy 329 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 2: land and people and they have done on people's goals, 330 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: and we will we will reap as we have sown 331 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: in New York City. 332 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 6: I think it may be closer. I don't think he 333 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 6: wins by ten. I think it has closed a little 334 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 6: bit because I think the people that were like fifty 335 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 6: and up or late forties that maybe know a little 336 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 6: better or actually getting to the polls. 337 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 7: I just think. 338 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 2: I think that the differences across the board, I'm telling you, 339 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 2: I really believe that, and people do not know what 340 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 2: they're voting for. We'll see what happens. The races that 341 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: I'm more interested in, frankly are New Jersey and Virginia 342 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 2: because I want to compare how the two Republicans in 343 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: New Jersey and Virginia do compare to how Donald Trump 344 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: did in twenty twenty four and if they have, if 345 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: they are doing better than he did, that will be 346 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 2: a great sign for the Republican Party. If they're doing 347 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 2: worse than he did, that would be an nightmare for 348 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: the Republican Party. But we'll see. 349 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 6: Woll I think I think New Jersey they got the 350 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 6: government workers mean goes in you know Fairfax aloud County 351 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 6: to turn out and just probably get a dwarm. We'll 352 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 6: see what happened. 353 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: Hey, Bill and Bank here.

I was kind of surprised 417 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 8: that with a new ownership of sixty minutes of that 418 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 8: that that channel, that organization that you know, it might 419 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 8: be a little tilted, but a good sign that maybe 420 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 8: who they won't be too much of a negative influence 421 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 8: and owning the station at station and I thought, I. 422 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: Guess we're in agreement, Frank. I thought that Nora O'Donnell 423 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: did a good interview. I thought that Donald Trump came 424 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 2: back at her respectfully and and there was a little 425 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: bit of fun in it, little humor. I thought, if 426 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 2: I was Trump's pr guy, I would say that he 427 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 2: had a great night. And if I were the CBS 428 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 2: I had a CBS I would say that Nora O'Donnell 429 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: acquitted herself as an viewer remarkably well. I just thought 430 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: it was good. Yes, sir, So, who who do you 431 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: think is gonna win these races tomorrow. 432 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 8: Problem, well, I'm open as a trifecta.

Do you do you 479 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: think Ran is closer to getting a bomb or further 480 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 2: away from getting a bomb as a result of the 481 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 2: the US military action. 482 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 3: I think it's the same, not the same. 483 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, Okay, let me ask you this. Do 484 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 2: you think it's a good idea or a bad idea 485 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 2: for the US military to wipe out the boats that 486 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 2: are allegedly bringing fentanyl and other killer drugs to America? 487 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 8: As long as you don't take us into a land 488 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 8: war our mind. But at the same time, if you 489 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 8: want to really take out some people, why don't we 490 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 8: take out the Mexican cartels. 491 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: Well they could be Mexico, they might be next, you 492 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 2: never know. 493 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 8: But that they should be first. Is the Mexican cartails 494 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 8: that are doing more damage to this country than than 495 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 8: the Venezuelans. 496 00:28:54,160 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: Okay, so, okay, last question in Mexico. Last question, last question. Okay. Now, 497 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: there's been a lot of controversy about who's getting arrested 498 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: and who's being deported. But but if President Trump is 499 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: getting rid of people who were here one illegally and 500 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 2: who have criminal records either from the country from which 501 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: they came or have criminal records in the US, is 502 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: that a good thing or a bad thing in your 503 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: in your mind. It's what. 504 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 8: You said. If they have a criminal record, not just 505 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 8: for being in a country illegally, but if they have 506 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 8: a criminal record, then we should be going after for. 507 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 2: Okay, so you're gonna give Trump a little credit on that. 508 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 2: Okay that I got more more concessions out of you 509 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: that I would have expected.

I forgot what. 521 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we don't elect Supreme Court justices in Massachusetts, 522 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 2: and we certainly don't elect federal justices.

Let me go to Jack in Westboro, Jack, 547 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,479 Speaker 2: you were next on nightside. Welcome. 548 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 9: All right, thank you, Dan. 549 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: How are you good? You want to take a shot 550 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: at our our contest tonight. 551 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 9: Well, I'll take a shot at it. Making that for 552 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 9: the New Jersey race. I think the Republican gentleman will 553 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 9: take that one. Yeah, yeah, okay, I think down in Virginia, 554 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 9: I think the Republicans well be the winner of that 555 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 9: race as well. 556 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: Okay, so that's two hours. Yeah, what about New York City? 557 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 9: Well, I'm thinking that Mandannie could end up taking that one. 558 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: Well that's what the poll show, that's for sure. So 559 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 2: there's so so you you got, uh, it's mone, it's 560 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: myn it's ma'am Donnie m A M d A N 561 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: I as as I understand it. So do you think 562 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: that's gonna help New York in the long run? 563 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 9: I don't think so. Personally, I don't think that would 564 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 9: be a good thing for the city of New York. 565 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. I just think it's amazing that that many people 566 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 2: in New York could decide that that's that's the direction 567 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 2: we want to go. But again, I think if you 568 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: have a population of people who don't understand economics one 569 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: oh one and you got some guys saying I'm going 570 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 2: to give you everything, and those people figured that, hey, 571 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: he's on TV, he must know what he's talking about. 572 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 9: Well, I think that's that's part of it there. You 573 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 9: might have hit it that, you know, it's he's holding 574 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 9: out a lot of offering that he's going to give 575 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 9: to people for quote unquote either free or very little, 576 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 9: and people will, you know, potentially jump on that. It's 577 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 9: but it's it's not always that easy, as you know, 578 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 9: right well, I. 579 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 2: Mean, I think it was Margaret Thatcher who once said 580 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 2: that the only problem with socialism and that eventually you 581 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: run out of other people's money. I think a good one. 582 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 2: I think that's what it's all about. That's for sure. Hey, Jack, 583 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 2: I appreciate your call. If you called before, is it's 584 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: your first time calling? 585 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 9: No, yeah, a long time, let's say your first time 586 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 9: college Dan. 587 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 2: Well, we got to keep your ron laws.

So uh you want to take 599 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 2: a shot at uh at these three races. There their 600 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 2: high profile races and they may be an indicator of 601 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 2: where the country is right now. 602 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 603 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 10: So I'm gonna go with Democratic in uh. 604 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: Virginia, Democrat in Virginia, Yeah. 605 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, Republican in New Jersey, Okay, and Mandami Yeah. 606 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 2: Again. I think that it's very very interesting. I guess 607 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 2: it's mem Donnie. That mom Donnie. I guess I was 608 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 2: corrected about the proper pronunc pronunciation of his name. Thirty 609 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 2: four year old guy born in Uganda. He has dual 610 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 2: citizenship and soon could be the mayor of New York. 611 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 10: Only nice part about it is the nice part about 612 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 10: it is Governor Holkel endorsed him, which really upset a 613 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 10: lot of people, which leads the door open for Alice 614 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 10: Stephonik to come in and be the candidate for the 615 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 10: Republican Party for the governor of New York and race 616 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 10: next year. 617 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: I guess the only one that is held out is 618 00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer. I believe that a Keem Jeffreys made a comment. 619 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 2: You know, President President, former President Bush was a former 620 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 2: President Obama, excuse him, was campaigning for the Democrats in 621 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 2: Virginia and New Jersey. Remember a year ago he was 622 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 2: lecturing black men to vote for Kamala Harris, particularly because 623 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 2: she was a black woman. So he just is campaigning 624 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,240 Speaker 2: now for the white woman in Virginia against a black, 625 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 2: black female Republican lieutenant governor. These guys are tough to 626 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 2: figure out. Yeah, it's a full time job sometimes, Bill. 627 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 10: Well, it is. But you know, it all goes back 628 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 10: to the best person for the job, not the. 629 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 2: Race or no question, no question. But I think I 630 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 2: think with Obama, the best person of the job always 631 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 2: has the the D behind their name. Bill. I appreciate 632 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 2: you calling anyone. We've got to get one more in here, 633 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 2: so we will talk soon.
