It's Night Side with Dan Ray on delig Bzy, Boston's news radio. It has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as vice president to our President Joe Biden. Joe's legacy of accomplishment over his entire career and over the past three and a half years is unmatched in modern history. In one term, think about it, in one term as president, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who served two terms in office.

And I know we are all deeply, deeply grateful for his continuing service to our nation. That is Kamala Harris, your new presidential candidates for the Democratic Party, Welcome back to This is Night Side. Gary tankwa for Dan Ray and joining us right now from Texas, the biggest Kamala Harris fan that I know. Let's go to Tomas Boston Heremage, welcome to the program. Tell

us your feelings on that comment. Well, I'm laughing. You've probably heard it all the way from Texas, but no, I'm not Kamala Harris. Yes, they know, Tommage, they know it's it's called sarcasm. They know you're right. Uh, We're living in interesting times. And you can say that what is dawning on me is Uh. The Democratic Party obviously thinks they can get away with insulting the intelligence of the American people, Uh, with almost everything they say. Uh, for them to pretend that she is

a mainstream candidate, which she's not. Her voting record in the Senate as a liberal was worse than Bernie Sanders. And to think that she's had a distinguished record as vice president when in fact she's done nothing except the outspoken advocate on abortion issues. To pretend that she was not designated as the borders are as a means of trying to cover up the fact that she did a horrible job and trying to deal with the border, to pretend that she hasn't been

part of the cover up. Yeah, let's know, I hear you. Let's stop. Let's break some of this down a little bit. I want to start with the border. And obviously you're in Texas and it's more of a concern to you than than up here, unless you know, you happen to be in the Cape, and you end up with some people who have been misplaced, and these poor folks don't know where they're doing or where they need to live. But like, when has the border ever been great?

Well, Donald Trump was making progress on the border and the wall was working, and you look at the numbers, I mean at the time he was shot. You just have to look at the charts and see what the border record was during his presidency compared to the surge of illegal aliens during Biden's presidency, and it's night and day. Yeah. But also though, Tomadge, aren't we talking about a time when families were being separated, parents separated from

children. I mean, there was some inhumane stuff going on. Well, there's never going to be a process involving dealing with mass quantities of illegal aliens all at once without having to impose some rather harsh measures in order to try to enforce border security. The question is which is more important protecting the family situation of illegal aliens or protecting the health and safety and welfare of legal American citizens who are damaged by the entry of mass quantities of illegal aliens. Are

damaged. I've damaged. They're damaged in the in the workforce in terms of the surge of illegal aliens to take jobs away from American people. They're damaged in terms of these people who come over in many instances have committed crimes. This is serious damage. This is a serious issue. Okay, Now, now hang on a minute. They're not hanging present. There are people,

there are people who are also in this country that will commit crimes. I think it's also unfair to stereotype any illegal alien or someone who comes in this country looking for a better life that they're a criminal. And then the other argument that I've heard, I didn't say that. No, I didn't. You're putting words in my method. I'm not going to let you do that. I said, these people come across illegally. Some of them commit crimes. Now, if you want to twist that to something I didn't say,

go ahead and do it all right. Some when you say okay, can you give me a number? Doubt about that. Can you give me a number? Nobody has the numbership because they're so vast and and and the mass qualities of millions, we don't have those numbers. Shit, Gary, And you know that, Actually I don't. I thought that Maybe you did. I mean, if you're gonna say some, I mean your ballparker, you may have a number. Okay, Now in regard to you, will I

will you will to hear from people. You will hear from people. You will hear from people in the restaurant industry and the service industry that that will say American citizens don't want to work in this area, they don't want to work in particular areas, they can't fill the jobs, and the jobs will only be filled by illegal aliens. What do you say to that, I say, it's long as we have laws that are supposed to protect the border,

then those laws should be enforced. If they're not going to be enforced, they should not be the laws. We are a country of laws. Democrats keep talking about rule of law and so forth, and do they ignore the laws regarding protecting our borders and border security. So you can talk about people doing other things that are obviously in clear violation of the law and think you're making a good point, and I'm going to disagree with you. Okay,

that's fine. That's fine. So when it comes to actually we're going to take a break because now we know how you, We're going to continue the discussion about Harris. And also I want to find out where you stand between these two candidates. Talmas. Harris is going to join us or is joining us? Right now, presidential historian and as you can tell, he is from Texas, but we like him anyways. I'm kidding. How much

is back right after this on WBC's Nightside. Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio, Gary Tegwave for Dant time, Tom Much Boston joining us here, presidential historian, political commentator and no fan of Kamala Harris as we know, and that's one other reasons why he's here. So let me ask you this, Tummack. You mentioned

her voting record when she was in Congress. If she does win the presidency because of Congress, do you feel she will have very little power or will not have the ability to invoke what you feel is a far left philosophy. Well, she'd be president of the United States and therefore the head of the executive branch. Yeah, we all know in recent years the power of executive orders, which has gotten totally out of control under both Presidents Trump and Biden

and their predecessors. So it doesn't depend entirely on Congress. Presidents do unilateral things all the time. Many they're challenged in court. Sometimes they're struck down as being outside the power of executive orders. But don't think she's powerless and that Congress has control over what she does, because we've seen that's not true. Well, especially with the way the court is leading now the Supreme Court, it would be more difficult for her to invoke some of that power,

wouldn't it. Well, the number of cases that get to the United States Supreme Court involving the abuse of executive power in any given year might be two or three or four. If she's signing dozens, if not hundreds, of executive orders that are at odds with congressional law and laws in place, some of those are going to stay in effect. We don't have enough court pipeline

to address abuses in excessive executive orders. That's been a problem for some time, and it will certainly still be a problem in the coming four years. Now we don't know. Well, you just mentioned her political leanings in her voting record, but a legitimate concern about Vice President Harris becoming the president of the United States is her lack of international experience right where vice president will be involved with some of that, but for mostly they're a figureheader, they're upfront

person. Then they go to things that the president does not deem as important to attend or something they can't make because their kid has a birthday or something. But it is a concern about international affairs. Your thoughts on that. Definitely concerned about international affairs. I mean, obviously, the president of the United States is a commander in chief. We're living in an extraordinarily dangerous world.

There's reason to think that with people like Putin in the head of China and North Korea and Iran at large and growing stronger every day, who knows what is going to happen in the next four years. We better have a strong commander in chief who understands international affairs, who understands the use of military power. And Kama Harris has absolutely no experience in that area. But it's not just her lack of uh knowledge and experience in foreign affairs. She wants

to buy her own statements publicly. She wants to abolish private insurance. She wants to help here well, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. She backed that, She backed down on that, She backed down on that. She it was a takesy backsey. She I understand she said it, and I disagree with it. I'm with you on that. I disagree with it, but she kind of backpedaled on that, and that's not going to happen. You, you and I, But that's not going to happen. She has no

chance. She has no chance with that. But that's fine. Continue. I just wanted to set the record straight on that. Uh, I'll take your word for it tonight, I'll double check that. I know they've been showing that that clip quite a bit on you have, but yeah, I know they're And she still I assume she still wants to ban fracking. She still wants to eliminate gas cars. You talk about an impact on American industries. She favors reparations for slavery that's coming up on two hundred years ago.

Uh, she's uh uh So these are some of the domestic issues. But getting back I want to get back to incause some of those issues I don't think are going to come up anyways. Go ahead, and by the way, looking to I understand about the few I understand about the economy. I get it. You're in Texas oil gas. There has to be a transition, but we do have to transit. We do have to transition away from fossil fuels at some point well, we have to do it fruently. We

have to do it in a way that doesn't destroy American industry. I agree with that, and lose millions of jobs. I agree with that too. It has to be done so that you can Why do you think, why do you think so many people are moving from California to Texas because politicians like Kamala Harrison Gavin Newsom. Do you realize that in the year twenty fifty, as it stands now, there's going to be more people in Texas than in

New York and California combined. Why is that? Because those people don't know how to government, They don't understand the will of the people, and they're driving people away. I don't know if you in Boston are aware of that,

but that's what's going on. Back to the international issues, Okay, anybody thinks she could be commander in chief, in charge of America's place in the world, a woman with no experience whatsoever, no demonstration of strength of any kind during her four years except to be an advocate for abortion, and they think she's ready to lead our armed forces in an increasingly dangerous world.

I don't see how anybody could resec conclusion, did they feel that way about Trump when he was first elected or did you feel that way about Trump because he was untested. The good news about Trump is in this election, we knows he had four years at the HELM and for the most part in international affairs, he did a good job. With her, she's been vice president

and done nothing to demonstrate she knows anything about international affairs. So the choice for American voters as far as international affairs, do you want somebody who's actually done it for four years with largely good results, or do you want somebody who's never done it at all and think that somehow they're going to step up and work miracles. Now, the problem you have is, while you're right, those are facts, do American voters care? I hope Americans care about

national security? Backup, that's not the question. I get what you said. Well, no, no, it's not my question. Hold on a minute. You're right international affairs, no experience with international affairs, agreed, And therefore, how can she protect national security? The voters thinking about and my answer to your question one more time is yes, they care, because

we care about national security. And if you're going to maintain national security, you have to have a president who is going to be effective as commander in chief. Well, would I vote? They care a lot about that. I think the voters vite. I think the voters care about who they like, and I don't think an enters into their mind at all. I think the American voter. Basically, it's a popularity contest. You and I can agree to disagree. Oh, I think the American vote. You know,

American voters care about their pocketbook. They care about inflation, they care about their wages going down, They care about an invasion of from the border. They care about a dangerous world. They aren't carrying. For now, in the first three days of the honeymoon, she's trying to establish some likability credibility. But as these facts become clear and clear between now and November, they're going to care about national security. They're going to care about their economic condition.

That's what impacts them directly, not who wins the popularity contest Tomage. For the last three years, the economy under this administration has been terrific. Have you forgotten that inflation was the highest in twenty twenty two that it had been in forty years. Yeah, there was a spike. Have you sad that I have not forgotten it. There was a spike, but over the last couple of years it's been great and it came down and we all know,

we've talked about this before. The economy is cyclical. You can't you listen. Clinton balanced the budget. Okay, so fine, I mean, what exactly did what did exactly did Trump do that affected the economy? And I'm asking you what did he do that made the economy so great when he was in power. Well, for one thing, he imposed the tax cuts that really benefited people at three hundred thousand dollars and the little guy didn't get

the benefit. People think that's your opinion. I disagree with it, okay, because I don't. I don't. I don't think it trickled that as much as people think. Well, you can think what you want. And all I know is who has When you talk about trickle down people who is supporting Trump? We're working class the people who used to support Democrats are now solidly behind Trump. If they're not getting any trickle down a fan effect,

why are they all in mass supporting Trump? Because Trump feels like an outsider. They feel like an outsider because as moderates they've been left behind by the Democrats, which is an issue. That's an issue. But no, people don't even know. You think people don't even know their economic condition. You don't think people know that they were better off under a Trump economy than they were under Biden economy. Economy, do you think that Biden has a thirty

seven percent of approval rating because people feel great about the Biden economy? How can you eat facts? No, I don't. I think they had. He had a thirty seven percent approval rating because people thought he was too old. That's what I think. I mean, you talk about a guy in Trump. You could talk about a guy in Trump who misspeaks constantly, who who lies? Who does? And they all do? But who lies? He talks out of is you know what? He doesn't deal with facts.

But people just feel that he's out for the little guy and that's why they follow his lead. That's why the people don't. You say people vote with that pocketbook. I disagree. I think people vote with it's a popularity context. I think they like the color of their hair. I think they're like like the way they talk to them. I think the way That's what I think. Right, You said that four minutes ago, and I said,

I respectfully disagree with you. I think they vote their pocketbook. I think they vote about whether this person is going to be a capable commander in chief and protect the United States or not. I think that's when they when you enter that voting, they're not thinking about the color of their hair, or the color of the skin or anything else. They're thinking about am I going

to be better off with this person or that person? And they're going to make that choice knowing that Trump's got all kinds of horrible issues and a record that has lots of wars all over it. Harris has her political record. They're gonna have to make that decision. But in my opinion, you're not going to disagree. I think they're gonna figure out am I gonna be better off economically under Trump or Harris? No, I'm not gonna be safer under

Trump or Harris. I think those are going to be the outcome determinants that will be the first and foremost in voters' minds. All Right, I'm gonna throw something at Talmage next. I'm gonna see if he knows what Bratt means. That's coming up next here on wbz's night Side Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z, Boston's news radio. Okay, back here on WBZ, Gary Tangwain for Dan Ray and knight Side Tomach Boston is joining us here.

Political commentator, presidential historian. Okay, Tomadge, Let's let's play a little game here. Do you think one of the things I am disappointed in h is the fact that there's not gonna be a true Democratic invention. I hate I hate the TV show on both sides. I hate it. I think you should take the money. I think the Republicans and Democrats, if you know who the nominee is, I think you could. You should cancel it. You should take the money, and you should donate it or use

it for better purposes. I hate it. Like the Trump thing, everybody knew it was Trump, it was a TV show. We didn't need to go through all that. Same thing with the Democrats. I mean, if it's gonna be Harris, it's going to be Harris. Why bother with the dog and pony stuff? And you know I'm in the minority of that.

But what happened? What do you think do you think the Democrats should have waited, had a convention and had Shapiro or Mark Kelly or Bursher run against her and try to try to get another candidate in there, well, it

certainly would have made the process a lot more interesting. But when Biden immediately after saying he was pulling out of the race, you know, ten minutes later saying and I want to endorse Kama Harris, and then all the other leading Democrats thus far the section of Barack Obama fell into line and supported her, And they got on the phones and got the chairman of all fifty state delegations within twenty four hours to say they were behind her, and all the

delegates more than two thirds committed to her in a space of twenty four hours. It was all over. Yeah, I know, I think that's I think that sucks. Well. Yeah, and particularly you know throughout you know, the buzzword in this campaign from the Biden and Democratic is the word democracy. Trump is a threat to democracy. How they can act like they've acted in a democratic fashion when Harris has not gotten one vote, has not gotten

one delegate, and yet here she's going to be her party's nominee. Yeah, I just I totally disagreed with it. And I thought there was a chance. I thought there was a chance, even though Biden came out an indoorstir. I said, well, let's just wait and see what happens here, because there was talk of some of these other candidates. And then the money, I said, as soon as the money starts coming in, not

the money she inherited, because I didn't buy into all that stuff. Because what everybody, all the talking hands were saying, well, it's very difficult to transfer the money to Joel. Nothing's difficult. Okay, we have seen too many firsts. We have seen too many things happen that people say couldn't happen. A reality show host became president, right, it happened before with an actor in Reagan. But at least Reagan had some political experience being governor

of California and being head of the Actors' Union. But I mean, as Trump became president, I said, anything can happen. They said, oh, we have to make a decision right away for Harris, because we only have one hundred days of the convention. The news cycle is twenty seconds. It doesn't matter. It's the shorter the better because there's less opportunity for her to screw up. Okay, or for anybody to screw up for that matter. So I think it sucks. I wish there was a convention. I

wish we had some debate. I wish we had some other candidates. I think they hurt themselves quite frankly, I really do. You might've got some moderates to come to the Democratic Party if they had gone through that process. Even if she did come out on top. But as soon as the money went to her, as soon as the new money, the new money went to her, thee hundred million that came in from new donors. I think it was on Sunday night. I was watching I Go, It's over,

She's there. So that's my feeling on that. I thought it would the base and the Democratic Party forever in twentieth and twenty first century has been in large part African Americans and other minorities, and all these people who were so called potential challengers, they'd all got their eyes on twenty twenty eight, and they knew that it would be political suicide if all the tea leaves showed that

Harris basically headed right. Well, I mean this, but Toma, you know, it's probably a deal they made with Biden, right like Biden says, I'll step down if you if she stays, right, That's what I think happened. We don't know, that's my gus. You know. I think it's like, you know, because he finally, he finally bails because if he stayed, he was gonna get smoked. I just think no doubt.

I mean, I you know, and I'm a registered Democrat. I think he was going to well, hell, cloon, he's the biggest Democrat alive. I mean he knew it too, but I think he was just gonna get okay. So yeah, Tomach, how do you think do you think Trump makes a mistake? Does he screw up? Does he say something? Does he do something? Because really, if you look at the numbers now, all he has to do is shut up. I don't know. The new numbers in the last two days seem to think it's going to be

a horse race down to the wire. And do I think He's going to make mistakes between here and November? Yes? Do I think Harris is going to make mistakes between here in November? Yes? And then will they all set each other? I don't know. Uh, every election in the last couple of decades, it all boils down to the swing states, and so who Harry Pictures or vice presidential running mate? Do you think a guy?

Do you think you have to go with your pause of Pennsylvania? I think right now, if I had to bet on somebody, that's who I'd bet on. Do you think the Jewish thing matters? I mean, my god, I hope it does. Well. It didn't matter. It didn't matter for Joe Lieberman, It's not going to matter for Shapiro. I mean, you know, people are asking me, does it matter if it's a woman or a man? Doesn't matter if it's as you are, a gentile.

I think Americans want competence. They want somebody who they think will do a good job. And I think that's what's hopefully and I truly believe is what makes people vote the way they do. They truly think they're voting for the person who will do the best job. And whether a person's Jewish or gentile, black or white or brown or Asian or anything else, who is the most capable person, in my opinion, to be able to handle the most difficult and challenging job in the world. Right, do you know what a

brat is. I've seen brat it's some term that's being used in music, and here it is here, it is here, it is here. It is A brat is authentic, confident, a little messy. They like to party, may say some stupid things at times, and they're care free. So the brats, if you will, seem to be endorsing Kamala. Now, these brats may be eighteen to twenty two or eighteen to twenty one years old. They could possibly vote. So here's my question. Will the TikTok

generation? Will they have an impact on this election? I doubt it. I don't think those people who are of that mindset are thinking much about politics. I think they're thinking about being carefree and cool and wearing the right clothes and eating at the right restaurant. So, Tomage, what if it's cool to vote for Kamala? Since I don't know anything about that particular mindset and generation. You have kids? Do you have kids? Do you have kids?

I have a son who's thirty six and a daughter who's thirty three. Yeah, okay, so yeah you wouldn't I have teenagers. I have a nineteen year old and a twenty twenty two year old. And I'm telling you I think it's insane. Okay, I think it's in I think it's insane. It could have an impact because I do think they'll think it's cool to vote fa Kamala, and I think that people that had no intention of voting and no intention of paying it, intention of paying attention. Will Is it

going to be enough? I don't know. I don't know. I mean there will be people who feel that way, but how many people there are and whether it's enough to impact the election. I think what's more likely to impact the election is how many votes Robert F. Kennedy gets well. I agree with that, and that's a good point. We talked about that early. We had a pollster on from Suffolk. He's very good, by the

way, Dave Pelly Logos. Check it out tomorrow. We'll have it up on the up on iHeart Yeah nights Oh thank you, Rob Knightside on demand dot com. I was gonna say iHeart but Nightside on demand dot com. If you go to that, he was very good and and you know, uh, Kennedy's that's he's a factor. He's a big The independent vote is a big time factor for the Democrats, and I seem to think it's going to hurt the Democratic candidate more than that will hurt Trump. Oh yeah,

no, no, no, it will. It will. That's why Trump was buddying up to him. Yeah, there's no doubt it will. Because the Democrats are trying to separate themselves from Hell. The Kennedy's are trying to separate themselves from him. Tom, what You've been a great guest. You're always be very entertaining. I appreciate your thoughts, and we'll do it again.

Do you have anything you would like to promote. No, I just encourage people to stay tuned and try to discern the facts amidst all the hoopla, and try to focus on who is best suited to leave the country the next four years, both domestically and abroad an increasingly dangerous world and and and and every day is important and and there's so much spind going on there everywhere

on both sides that it's a real challenge to reach sound conclusions. And the only way you're going to do that is by paying close attention to both sides. Uh and And on the one hand, it makes for a very interesting year. I can't there's never been a year that seems like it had you know, an assassination attempt and a president on the verge of his convention with drumming. We've never had any of this, you know, back to back to back. Oh, it's crazy. It's We've had a pandemic. We've

had a pandemic. We've had a president pull out. There's been an assassination on a president. It's crazy, it's insane. We've had a total breakdown by by the Secret Service. Oh my god. So you know that's their job and I blew it, and I mean the whole thing. Every day's an adventure. But there's a lot at stake here, and so as entertaining on the one hand as it is, people need to realize how incredibly important this is if we want the next four years to be the best that it

can be instead of the worst that it can be. Hey, I said, you're entertaining, not the topic. This is the difference I talked to. I know I still were going to let you go, but I have to get this in. I talked to a consultant on Generation Z from Ernst and Young and I said, and he talked about how their attitude is and these are my kids. I don't feel like working today. Or I can't be in at eight because I have a yoga class at eight and I don't

have to be until nine. Or I'm not going to work a six day or I'm not going to work a second job because people like me have spoiled our children. And I just think it's insane because when I first get into how about this, I can't there to meet with the head of Israel because

I got to speak to sorority in Indianapolis and make that decision. I mean, the same mindset that you just described is in place with Kamala Harris Well Or was that for political reasons because she didn't want to meet with Israel because of the protests that have been going on when it comes to whether it's Palestine or Israel. I mean, there's a lot, Come on, there's a lot more to that. It looked there was. The Massachusetts delegation didn't should

show up. They're here in Nan Yahoo because they don't want to get caught in the crossfires. They don't want to piss off anybody who's pro Palestinian. I mean, it's nuts, that's nuts. So I'm not going to totally buy into that. But my point is is I said to this consultant, I said, if this doesn't change, we're are thirty forty years from now. Because they say workaholics are bad, well, you know what, workaholics

is kind of how we got to be where we are. And if we become a country of people who are just sitting back and not doing the extra said, we'll be a second great country. That's my concern, the work ethic of America. That's my concern. That is definitely a legitimate concern. That one I'm worried about. Because I talked to a butt of mine the other day who's retired as a dentist. He said, maybe I worked too much. Maybe I go, Look, the reason you got two houses is

because you work too much. The reason you paid for your kids college educations and they don't have any debt is because you work too much. People don't get it. You know, if you want to get ahead, you have to work too much. Tomas'll talk to are in agreement. You and I are in agreement on thattage. All right, we'll talk to you later. Be good, all right. Tomas Boston joins us from Texas. Uh, My buddy sam Mitler's coming up at eleven o'clock. He is I should actually

should put Sam and Toma John together at some point. That would be very good because I think he just he's Sam's is a comedian. Uh. He is a political follower. He is a writer, a producer. He is an Emmy Award winner. Uh. And we'll try to laugh a little bit about what's going on coming up at eleven o'clock right here on WBZ Night Side. Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World night Side Studios on

WBZ News Radio. Okay, you're stuck with me, Gary Tank right here until midnight dance, Get the night off, six one, seven, ten thirty. Sam Metler, comedian, Emmy Award winning producer and writer Jones is coming up next. He's got I said to Rob, we should have put he in Talma John together. Let's see how that would have gone. Uh. Both very entertaining, I think, with different points of view by Sammy. Jones is kind of coming up at eleven o'clock right here on WBC.

All right, Christian peabty, Hi, Christian, what's up on anybody? Oh boy, good god? You got the time Lynn on your mind. You're on the night side, Okay, Gary, hopefully I'll be better than that previous call. I don't. It's a low act to follow. I'm sure you're already Yeah, right, I could speak. I'm not bugs Bunny. With Joe Biden, I agree and I disagree with you about Joe Biden. Where I disagree is I think he still has enough mojo, if you

will, to serve as president. Whether or not he could get re elected, I'm not sure. But I think the big challenge that he would have faced, and you mentioned it is where I agree with you his optics and image. And you know that's been a problem historically in American politics since the eighteen thirties. William Henry Harrison invented the whole log cabin campaign, right and yeah, And the whole thing about that was William Henry Harrison never grew up

in the word happened. His parents were wealthy Virginia. And yeah, I mean that's politics for you, right, you know, you know, I love it just reminds me of Bruce Springsteen when when Springsteen did the thing on Broadway and he wrote racing in the street, and he said, I wrote racing in his street. I didn't even have my license. Yeah, Johnny Cash wrote about all these being in prison. He was never in prison. Yeah, all, it's all a bunch of crap. Look, here's the

thing, here's the thing. Look, ye, Biden's a good man. And look, I have voted Republican, I have voted Democrat. I just don't I don't think Trump's a good man. If Trump was a Democrat, I wouldn't vote for him. I just don't think he's a good person, you know. I mean, that's it. If Nicky Haley was running, I'd look at Nicki Haley, I'd say, what's going on? I absolutely

would consider it. It's all optics right now. And unfortunately, because the news cycle is every twenty seconds and you're on camera all the time, the president has really become such a spokesperson and Joe can't get it done and he and that's it, Like, look, can he be alert enough to run the country. I don't know, but it doesn't look that way. Lynn, And that's the problem. All right, I gotta go a good call, buddy, guys. Let's go to Paul Innantasket. Paul, you're on

WBZ, Hey, what's going on? Then you do it. I'm good for what's on your mind? I got a couple of things. The first thing, that's straight in the country. You need term limits. You're gonna get that in, but everyone in this says we don't really need that, So you gotta get rid of all of them guys straight in the country. That's the first thing. Congress. Yeah, yeah, let's talk about that for a minute. I mean, I'm not against it, certainly not against

it. It just seems it takes so damn long when someone gets in there to make headway. So I guess the answer is, well, if you have term limits and you have to have a greater turnover, and then you would be able to I it sounds great, but I don't I don't know if it would work because it takes so damn long to get CREP done. Well. I think another great thing would be the president's you're run for maybe six years. Yeah, Paul, I gotta go. But that's not crazy.

The problem is is if they're like eighty one, you can't run for a six year term. But I'm not opposed to that because that's what everybody does do They govern to get reelected. That's what they do. That's not crazy. It's never gonna happen, but it's not crazy. All right, we're gonna make this one quick. Let's go to Mark and dry. Mark, you get about thirty seconds. What's on your mind? Mark? What's up killing? Thirty seconds? Thirty seconds? Good night? Okay, Mike

in Boston, make it quick. Oh he's gone too. Oh we're gonna do rapid fire. But let's see if we can get John in Boston. On John, make it quick. What's up Jerry Mortgages? If you bought the same house you bought four years ago, cross Street, the motors payment is double Kalala Harris. She paid the bonds for the people who rided the and the riots the black communities, uh three years ago. She paid the bonds and helped collet the defunding of the police for how did that help Black

America? That was black communities that were damaged? Doctor Function's a Democrat, funny gain to function research that killed a lot of Black Americas. Even Obama made gata function research illegal. How was that better for Black America? We get illegal immigrants, we got we got guys covered from terrorist countries into the city of Boston. We got measles. June thirtieth, there was the thing

here in Needles in terminally. How's that better for Boston? Gary? It's not even Bill Clinton said it's about the economy, Gary, It's about personality. Kamala Harris's bankrupt. Her record is bankrupt. I mean, John, you could you certainly have your opinion. I don't think she has a record. That's the problem. She's a vice president, she doesn't she doesn't have

any control. Oh yeah. She called for the defunding of cops. She said that, I'm personally and personally I'm against that, and personally I'm against that. So it's the less of two evils. Do you want a guy that was willing to overthrow the government or do you want her Sabbie who demanded taking vaccines Trumble? Was it Bien? It was Bien. He is the dictator, who's the one forcing people to take the vaccine. Well, I'm pro vaccination. I have to go. But I mean to me, I'm

pro vaccination. I'm sorry. I've had every vaccine. I've had every vaccination. I'm pro vaccination. But I disagree with defund defunding the police. I disagree with that. I'm not going to agree with everything she stands for, but I can't. Again, everybody thinks like I hate Republicans, I don't. I have voted on both sides of the Aisle. I just cannot vote for a man that sat there on January sixth while people were killed, while

these I gotta be careful people attacked our government. I'm sorry, I can't do it. Sam Mettler, California. There you goes from California. That's all you need to know. He's funny, he's political, he's one an Emmy. He's coming up after eleven right here on WBC
