0:01

It's night time with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Easy Boston's Radio. All

0:10

right, welcome back, everybody. My name is Dan Ray, and we

0:14

are moving right along here to our eleven o'clock hour, and this hour we're

0:22

going to change topics. And I must begin the hour by telling you that

0:29

we've had very little well, we've had no luck with the Robert Kennedy campaign,

0:34

the RFK Junior campaign. However, I cannot allow my frustrations with the

0:42

campaign to cloud my judgment professionally. And next Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy

0:50

Jr. Says that he intends to name his running mate. Now there's no

1:00

convention, there will be a convention. Obviously, Donald Trump will name his

1:03

running mate, whoever that might be. I'm sure Joe Biden, assuming that

1:07

both of them they are the presumptive nominees, and assuming that there's no major

1:14

problem that were to develop in terms of health issues, they will each name

1:19

in their vice presidential running mate, and I'm sure it will be Kamala Harris.

1:26

I don't think Joe Biden is in a position where he can drop his

1:29

current vice president of four years, although he might like to. Kennedy,

1:34

on the other hand, has the ability to pretty much name anyone he wants.

1:38

We've all seen the various rumors. There have been rumors out there that

1:44

he might name the former governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, a former professional

1:49

wrestler but also was elected governor of Minnesota. There's been some suggestions that he

1:55

might name Aaron Rodgers, quarterback of the New York Jets. Rogers, of

2:01

course, was injured in the fourth play of last year, but he's rehabbed

2:06

and conceivably, we're told, could have played in late December or as the

2:10

Jets season wound down, but he should be ready to play next fall.

2:14

I don't see how you can be a quarterback for the New York Jets and

2:17

also be running for vice president, but who knows, and there are others.

2:23

And what I'd like to do is ask you about the Kennedy campaign.

2:30

Do you take it seriously? Number one? Number two? Are you interested

2:34

in who RFK Jr. Will name as his running mate? Do you want

2:38

to give us your guests? I mean, if there's anyone here who actually

2:45

guesses correctly a name that maybe none of us have thought of. I mean,

2:51

it would seem to me that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Needs to

2:53

name someone who has some glamor. I think I'm sure there are a thousand

3:01

people who would accept the nomination, particularly people who have worked within the Democratic

3:07

Party in the venues for the Democratic parties, just to say that they were

3:10

his running mate. I think he has to do better than just the former,

3:19

you know, get out the vote director in Montana for the Democratic Party.

3:23

You know, someone who we have never heard of. So I think

3:25

it will have to be someone who has some you know, some visibility,

3:31

some name recognition. It would be great if it was an elected official.

3:37

I mean if hypothetically he were to name there was a congressman from Minnesota,

3:42

Dean Phillips, that was running against Joe Biden. Now Phillips has said that

3:46

he supported Biden, but he needed to have a choice within the Democratic Party.

3:52

That was the genesis of his campaign. I don't think he would be

3:57

he would accept that nomination. There are others out there. I mean Mary

4:00

Ann Williamson who ran would Rob Robert F. Kennedy Junior picked Jill Stein,

4:06

a Green Party candidate of a couple of cycles. I think she's actually running

4:11

on her own. So I just want to open it up and see who

4:15

you would suggest. Would he be wise to pick a Republican? I mean,

4:18

how about this, and this will never happen. How about if Robert

4:23

F. Kennedy Jr. Was able to name and and that person would accept,

4:29

and that person would be Mike Pence, the former vice president of the

4:33

United States under President Trump. Think about that. He has a variety of

4:42

options here when you think about it. He could go in any direction he

4:48

wants. But this will be the defining moment of his campaign. If he

4:54

picked someone who is considered to be I don't know, you know, off

5:01

the general political reservation, I think that will hurt him. I'm trying to

5:09

think of someone who he might pick that would I think he has to find

5:15

someone who's a free spirit and a free thinker with some name recognition. I

5:19

mean Oprah Winfrey, for example. If you really want to think about possible

5:27

names, I'm just going to throw it out there and invite you to recommend

5:33

someone and we'll keep track of it. And if for some reason, I

5:38

mean, if you pick Aaron Rodgers, the Jets quarterback, or Jesse Ventura,

5:42

that's really not going to count because those are the names and there's some

5:45

speculation He's making then announcement in Oakland, California, near the University of California

5:49

at Berkeley, which is where Rogers played college football before he started his career

5:55

with the Packers. So there you have it. I'm just throwing it out

6:01

there. I know that my audience is a pretty sharp audience. Politically,

6:06

I'd love to have you described to me. Give me a description of what

6:12

you would like to see. Would you like to make sure it's a Republican

6:15

Would you might like to make sure that it's someone who is an elected official

6:18

already, who has the gravitas of an election, maybe at a congressional level

6:25

or a Senate level. I don't think there are too many senators in either

6:29

party, but who knows. I mean John Fetterman from Pennsylvania. He certainly

6:35

marches at the beat of a different drummer. Angus King from Maine. I

6:40

don't know if if there is a personal relationship that RFK Junior has with any

6:45

of these folks. So we're just going to open up the line six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, nine

6:50

three one ten thirty. Let's play a little political bingo here, and let's

6:55

see if we can come up with the name. Okay, we'll take a

6:58

quick break, coming right back here at Night's and I've got a couple of

7:01

lines open. I've got some callers waiting, but I want you to participate.

7:05

Let's have some fun coming back on Nightside Night Side with Dan Ray.

7:13

I'm Boston's news Radio. All right, let's go to the phone. It's

7:18

gonna go. Start off with Eugene. Eugene, who do you think Robert

7:21

F. Kennedy Junior should pick his his running mate? Or give us a

7:25

description of who that ideal candidate would be. Well, let me ask you.

7:31

First of all, are you anywhere near a mirror. I have a

7:38

mirror in the room. Yes, I do, But I would suggest look

7:44

at look it into that mirror. That's who I would suggest. Think about

7:48

it. Multiple years of experienced weekdays dealing with people across the country, various

7:58

subjects, and attorney experience. Also, Hey, if he picks you,

8:05

I'll vote for you. Wow, boy, I'll tell you that that's that

8:09

is an honor. That's an honor. I don't think I would be his

8:15

choice, but I think he has better choices. But Eugene, I'm absolutely

8:18

honored by your your your endorsement. But I think that that he will find

8:28

someone else in my opinion. In my opinion, I'll nominate you. How's

8:35

that okay? I will I will promote you to everyone, every lawyer.

8:43

Well, I appreciate that. I really do, I really really do.

8:48

Uh. I don't think we'll get a second here, a second to the

8:54

domination. Thank you so much. Okay, Oh, thank you, thank

9:01

You're welcome and we all right, we will talk again. Thanks, thank

9:07

you so much, talk soon, Okay, have a great have a great

9:11

night. Okay, thanks right bye bye, h Okay, Eugene, I

9:16

did not expect that one. Oh, let's go to Dan in New Hampshire.

9:22

Dan, you were next on nightside. Who do you think of Stan Well? First of all, you know, if you would talk to me

9:28

forty four years ago, back to the main Caucus, I would have told

9:33

you that he was going to be the one. He had everything, he

9:39

was smart, he was charming, he had the charisma, he he had

9:45

it all. And I remember saying at that time, he's going to be

9:48

the one. He's gonna he's gonna run probably for Congress in New York,

9:52

and then he's going to take his father's Senate seat in New York and probably

9:58

stay for at least one full term. And I really thought he was going

10:05

to be the one that would be president. But none of that ever happened.

10:11

And you know, it's really it's a joke right now. The only

10:16

thing that worries about me. I don't think he's going to take any votes

10:20

away from Trump. And I don't know Vice President Tom Brady, maybe Gronk.

10:26

Well that's a couple. I mean, you know, those are two

10:30

guys who have the time. I mean, I don't know what their politics

10:33

are. Belichick, come on, you can't go through the entire Patriot roster

10:39

here. Well, Larry Bird, you know it's I don't think any real

10:50

serious politician would excite like you mentioned Mike Pence. And I don't really think

10:58

Mike Pence would would want to run with Bobby Junior or anybody else. I

11:03

mean, no, I understand that, and I'm sure that that Pence would

11:07

think, hey, look, been there, done that. I'm not going

11:11

to you know, further complicate my you know, my history if you will.

11:18

I mean, obviously Mike Penn said he's not going to vote for Donald

11:22

Trump. This would be an ultimate way in which he could probably get back at Donald Trump, because I would think that that he would, you know,

11:28

Kennedy will will take some voters from Joe Biden. I think there are

11:31

Democratic voters out there who might say, hey, you know, go for

11:35

Bobby Kennedy. But I still think he's got to find somebody, hopefully someone

11:43

who maybe we haven't thought of, but someone who has. I'm I just

11:50

I'm trying to think who it would be. I'm trying to I got a

11:58

couple of in my mind. I'm going to put out there that that I

12:01

think are potentially dark horse candidates. Okay, okay, and I will I

12:11

will just I'm going to hold off. I want to see if anyone else

12:18

is thinking like me. Is what I'm trying to you know, possibly Mitt

12:22

or why would seriously, why would Mitt Romney when you think about it,

12:31

why would Mitt Romney even consider it? I mean, Mitt Romney's a United

12:35

States Senator. I think that that is retiring. He is retiring. You're

12:43

you're correct, but it would still to me, it would. I think

12:48

it's a little far off the reservation now maybe Okay, And again, I

12:52

don't I don't want to prejudice other people's minds here. Okay, maybe maybe

12:58

uh uh Liz Cheney would would have it in her soul to want to impact

13:07

uh the Trump adversely. Yeah, you know, because yes, exactly and

13:16

exactly for the reason you just said, so, I would not be surprised

13:20

if he does go with her. Well, I'm going to claim her as

13:24

one of my nominees potential. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that

13:28

somebody it makes sense, that's all. I'm not saying that I'm a fan

13:33

of or whatever. Just would make sense. But you know, it is

13:37

a way. She obviously does not want to see uh Trump again, and

13:45

this would be a way for her. Yeah, I could see her her

13:52

doing that. Okay, I'm going to give you one other name and then

13:56

I'm gonna then I'm going to shut up. Okay, Okay, I'm serious.

14:01

Okay, uh there is one that is that I think is possible and

14:09

and I think you might agree with me. Okay, I gave you Liz

14:13

Cheney as a Republican, a former congresswoman, and here is my Democrat.

14:20

If I had to I'm talking now, if if I'm going to prognosticate,

14:24

I think I know what you're going to say, but what do you think

14:26

I'm going to say, aoc no, no, no, no, no,

14:31

okay, no, I think she's too entrenched in the Democratic Party.

14:35

Yeah, here's one. You're right, you're right, all right, here's

14:39

one. And I think you're going to say, I wish I had thought

14:41

of that. Bettel O'Rourke, the former congressman from Texas who's a Democrat,

14:50

happens to be a pretty close admirer of the Kennedy family. As you know.

14:56

Rhan for Senate against Ted Cruz and lost. I don't think he has

15:01

much of a future in Texas politics because I think Texas is becoming more and

15:07

more a red state. But he's a younger guy, a bit of a

15:13

maverick. I don't think that's a bad If I had to, if I

15:18

had to put one up on the board that I was serious about, that

15:22

might be my choice. That might be my guess, is what I'm saying.

15:26

Yeah, once again, that makes sense to me too. Damn.

15:31

Yeah. All right, So we got too. I'm gonna I'm gonna you

15:35

get Cheney and I got o'rour So we'll see what happens. Okay, okay,

15:39

okay, Thanks Dan, in New Hampshire. Appreciate it very much.

15:43

Let's keep rolling here. Where are we gonna go next? With this is

15:46

kind of a game we're playing here, but I think it's fun. Lola

15:50

in Watertown normally from San Diego. Hi, Lola, how are you today?

15:54

I'm good. Dan. So here's my This woman as a Democrat and

16:02

her name is Nicole Shanahan. This was posted in the New York Post on

16:08

March sixteenth. RSK Junior to name wealthy attorney Nicole Shanahan is running mate and

16:17

pres rudge. Okay, so that's Hanahan. That's h A n A h

16:22

16:33

So they're describing her as California attorney, an entrepreneur. There there was.

16:41

This is the word that's out. That's going to be his running mate,

16:44

according to a report coming from Meditate Meditate reported Saturday. Does that med

16:52

Mediate? Is that mediator? Meditator? I think it's me, sorry Mediate,

16:56

It says the pair of line on numerous issues, including his commendation of

17:02

vaccines and she can help funnel money into Kennedy's long short bid and get him

17:08

on the ballot in all fifty states, Sources close to the campaign to the

17:12

outlet. So she was married to some or she is married to some rich

17:21

guy that's into Let me see if I can find the Google was once married

17:26

to Google co founder Sturdy Bread funded Kennedy's pricey Super Bowl campaign commercials. So

17:38

that's the funnel of money. Huh. And she's a woman, and she's

17:44

a Democrat, So that's why that's my tib. And I know somebody on

17:52

the West coast that is in his inner circle. Yeah. And I asked

17:57

her if she heard of She's says I know of her, but I haven't

18:02

met her, so she didn't deny it. I says, do you know

18:07

18:11

And I want to know if I get a round trip ticket to come

18:17

your hands. Has Tom Brady or the Gronk? I want to think he

18:55

needs a woman. It needs to be a woman and a man. Well

19:00

19:04

We will see. I went, I went to Seaport but lunch the other

19:11

day, my friend took me and he took me to this plate place.

19:18

I'm trying to get the name of it here Dollar. I think it is

19:26

19:33

It said TB twelve. And I said to him. He goes,

19:37

19:41

go, yeah, TB twelve. So I don't know that. I don't

19:45

know that Tom Brady's riding around the town with a plate that say TV twelve.

20:04

the big a celebration for him. Okay, well that's good to know.

20:14

20:17

ago. All right, we're gonna get us back to our FK junior.

20:21

20:26

talk to you, Dan take here, all right, thanks LOLd to talk

20:41

to you soon. Okay, here it comes the news at the bottom of

20:45

the hour. We'll be back. Your prediction as to who you would think

20:48

our FK Junior will pick next Tuesday. It's wide open. It's a wide

20:53

open field. Back on Nightside after this night Side was Dan Ray ONBZ,

21:02

Boston's news radio. All right, we got full lines here, let's keep

21:07

rolling. This is a fun game. Glenn and Brighton nig Glenn, Howard,

21:10

did you get my voicemail today? I hope yeah, No, that was okay, we're good, good, good, good, All right,

21:15

Glenn, I was worried. There, go right ahead. So who are

21:18

you going to pick? Who's going to be your dark horse here? Well,

21:22

as I was trying to tell your producer, rub I know this is

21:26

off a little off the cuff, but says he if he's got a thing

21:30

for athletes. There was a soccer player. I don't know if it's back

21:36

in twenty ten. I don't know if it was a revolutionary. His name

21:41

was Taylor Twelman, t wl m a n yest him the good player.

21:48

Yeah, well, if he's kinda First of all, he doesn't have a

21:51

snowballs chance in hell of winning. But if he's going to try to get traction, I think a cool sounding like Vice President Twelman that has a cool

22:03

Again, I have no idea about what his politics are, but let me

22:06

tell you if you if you pick it, as I say, I've eliminated

22:11

Rogers and Ventura because that's what everybody would be guessing. And I'm assuming that

22:18

I want someone to come up with a name that we haven't thought of.

22:21

And again I've thrown out Betto o' rourke. You remember him, Robert Robert

22:26

Francis o' rourke, correct, uh, And then I gave to Dan Well

22:33

Dan in New Hampshire took Tom Brady and Gronk. I also gave him Liz

22:37

Cheney because I came up with Liz Cheney. Oh god, well, just

22:42

you know, I mean, who would He's gonna he wants to make a

22:47

splash here, okay. I mean he's got to come up with someone that

22:52

not only has some as they'd like to say, gravitas, some some substance,

22:56

but also someone who is to I mean, he could come up with

23:00

I don't know, he come up with a former general. That's that's possible.

23:07

You could, you could do that, you know, but I you

23:11

know, I like lowis prediction. Nicole Shanahan. I've never heard of her

23:17

before, but it's no, I haven't either, But that's okay. And

23:21

Irish ass. That's a good name. Yeah, I guess that's a wonderful

23:26

name. But I don't know. It's it's the It's gonna be a lot

23:30

of speculation about who it might be. So let's uh, let's see,

23:36

let's hold our fire and see what see what we come up with, you know, I mean there's gotta be some someone's gonna it'll probably have to leak.

23:45

To be honest with you, I mean, you know, but I

23:49

remember when Dan Quayle was picked Ross Perrot's running mate. No one's gonna remember

23:55

him, James. Yes, good for you, Good for you? Yes,

24:00

I remember who am I? And why am I here? I shot

24:02

beer out of my nose. I was laughing so hard. Yes, yes, yes, the guy. This guy was pretty former POW during the Vietnam

24:11

War. Okay, passed away, so he's not eligibly. He passed away

24:15

in two thousand and five, so he's not gonna be chosen. But that

24:22

would be one something like that, a military person. How about General Mark

24:26

Milly? I don't know they would That would be some that would make an

24:33

impact, but I guess it will happen. We'll have to say. So

24:37

I got you down for Taylor twelve and Soccer Style. I never would have

24:41

predicted that one, Glenn, and that's maybe what he's gotta do. I'm

24:44

trying to get a coffee mug from it. All right, thanks, Glenn,

24:48

We'll talk to somebody. Talk to you thinking night. I gotta keep

24:52

rolling here. I'm having fun with this. I am, at least Bob

24:56

and Weymouth Bobby. Next time, I said, who's r F K. Junior're gonna pick for his vice president? What's your guess? Well, I'm

25:02

going to tell I'm going to tell you who's not. I'm not going to pick Dan Ray. Okay. I don't want to pick you for a losing

25:10

team, So we're gonna let that go get Okay, Okay, I'm going

25:14

to second. I'm going to put a second on the Cole Shanahan, the

25:17

attorney really and the reason I'm going to do that. She's a very independent

25:22

woman. She's bought and Soul company. She's a multi millionaire in her own

25:27

right. She already gave four million to Kennedy's campaign. Plus she's buddy buddy

25:33

with the Lan Musk. And also, I did not know until you mentioned

25:41

that. I must tell you, I did not know who Nicole Shanahan was.

25:47

I'm going to google her right now. You and Lola have have opened

25:51

my eyes to someone. Here. Let's see what what we we have on

25:55

her. You go right ahead, I'm listening. Oh oh, and also

26:00

she's fighting by with Eleon Moss. You know, she's got all the powerful

26:04

people who were there out they're gonna if she runs more money's gonna come in

26:11

into the campaign, so he's gonna pick her a gap. Uh, there's

26:14

no doubt about it. And she's threat eight years old, she's a practice,

26:18

she's female, she's uh, she's got all the qualifications you'd want.

26:26

Uh. And that's what you're right. She was born in nineteen eighty five.

26:30

She's an an entrepreneur and attorney political donor based in the San Francisco Bay

26:34

area. He's going to make the announcement in Oakland, so that could be

26:38

possible that Hey, the know, you guys might have hit it clean here.

26:44

Hey damn, I grew up in Oakland, California. Yeah, Dan,

26:48

I wait, can I get a coffee cup? I'll even pay for the damn thing? Yeah. The easy way to get a coffee mind,

26:53

just go to nightsidegear dot com. Because if it's Shanahan, I got to

26:59

give it to Lola because she's she picked it first. Just you know what

27:03

the Nightside coffee mug costs. It's eighteen dollars with shipping. It's like twelve

27:08

dollars and six dollars for shipping. And it's a great coffee mug. I'm

27:14

telling you, Bob, just go to nightsidegear dot com or call up are

27:19

you good to the computer? Well, my son is oh. Or you

27:23

call college hype in if you you give Rob, you give Rob your number

27:30

and I'll call you tomorrow and I'll cook you up with college hype dot com.

27:34

Okay, oh, you know something, Dan, I can't say why

27:37

you can't afford to give away a second coffee cup. Here's the problem.

27:45

Everybody wants to get something, Okay, I mean yeah, yeah. By

27:51

the way, just so you know, the proceeds from the sale of the

27:53

coffee mug goes to the Shadow Fund, to which I contribute pretty heavily.

28:02

To be honest with you, that's the Shadow Fund. The Shadow Fund is

28:06

the charity of choice of Nightside. I donate all of my speaking fees and

28:11

make separate donation to the Shadow Fund. Of what that does is that's run

28:17

by a woman named Professor now of the Assistant Dean, Diane Sullivan at the

28:22

Massachusetts School of Law. That provides and every penny goes to provide veterinary care

28:29

for people who cannot afford to take their pets to a veterinarian. There's a

28:33

lot of folks out there who have a dog or a cat, or it

28:37

doesn't matter, a parent, a frog or whatever. And Professor Diane Sullivan,

28:45

who is a saint, she runs that along with a woman named Laura

28:48

Lucier, and every penny goes to help. They have helped thousands of people

28:55

who don't have the money to take their everything from surgeries down to just you

29:00

know well, visits for pets. If you want to check out the shadow

29:04

Funder. If anyone wants to check out the Shadow Fund, just go to

29:07

shadow Fund n E. For New England. There's another charity name said the

29:12

name shadow Fund, which is totally unrelated. In California. Just put shadowfundne

29:18

dot org, shadow fund dot org. I just I just throw it down,

29:22

okay, And if you have any trouble, I want you to hold

29:26

on. Rob will give you my direct of telephone number and you can call

29:33

me. I'll call you back. And as I say, I wish I

29:36

could give coffee mugs to everybody, to everything. And I don't want it.

29:40

You know what, I want to pay for it now that's going there. I don't want it for it. No. I appreciate that, I

29:45

really do, and I hope that maybe our conversationists. But By the way,

29:48

the coffee mug is the best looking coffee mug you will ever have in

29:52

your home. I'm telling you right now. Okay uh it's it's cobalt blue.

29:57

It's a dark blue with white lettering. Night side with Dan Ray.

30:03

There's the iyeart seal in the back. It's Donne by r pal Jack Darty

30:07

at College Hype in Dorchester. He makes no profit on this at all.

30:11

Any of the profit ghosts the Shadow Fund, and I love the charity.

30:17

I was. I was given an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the by

30:22

the Massachusetts School of Law. They're based in Andover. Diane Sullivan, who

30:26

have profiled on the show on many occasions, profiled her one night many years

30:32

ago. A few nights later, she got a twenty five thousand dollars check

30:37

anonymously from Boston law firm. Someone donated made the donation, didn't want anyone

30:44

to know about it. So, you know, we raise some money and

30:47

we help people, and I happen to love it because there's no administrative costs.

30:51

You know, you get these calls, you get these telephone solicitors,

30:55

would you like to contribute to the National Police Association and I'll ask them,

30:59

well, what are the straight of cost? Well, we give ten percent

31:02

actually to police departments, and the administrative cost of ninety percent. I mean

31:06

it's abstored. It's absurd. Yeah, all right, Bob, you got

31:10

it. I'm happy. Thanks Dan, Thank I'm happy too. I really

31:12

do appreciate it. Stay there, Rob will give you my direct line.

31:15

If you have any problems, I'll help you work through it. Okay,

31:18

thanks, thank you. All right, gonna take quick break. I got

31:22

Steven Mansfield, I got barryon Norwell, I got Bill in Middleton, I

31:25

got Dan and Wilmington. We're going to get those guys in and we're going to get you into. If you want to dial, we'll just keep dialing

31:32

and get everybody in. I'm gonna move everybody quickly, give you a chance.

31:34

If anyone picks it, and it looks to me like maybe Lola has

31:38

hit it, I don't know. Uh. My suggestion is I'm picking out

31:42

of the blue Roberto Vette O'Rourke, former congressman from from from the Great State

31:48

of Texas, a Democrat down there, and I don't think as much of

31:52

a future as a Democrat in Texas. Back on Night Side, right,

31:56

after this, it's nice with Dan Ray on Boston's news Radio. Okay,

32:04

we're gonna get everybody in. I promise. Let's start it off with Bill

32:08

and Middleton. Bill, who would you advise? So who do you predict

32:13

what? Robert F. Kennedy R K Junior will pick us? So I

32:16

think Lola stole my thunder. It's it's probably gonna be in that Nicole Shanahan

32:22

if not Jesse Ventura, which is okay, I'll give you Jesse if you

32:27

want to. If you want to take Jesse Ventura, if you just said

32:30

I want to keep his I want to cover as much of the field as possible, Okay and available, I'll put him up with the boarder. I

32:37

know, no, but Jesse Ventura and some of his some of his outrageous

32:42

stuff has been you know, just that it's been outrageous, But some of

32:45

his conspiracy theories I fall in line with that. That's why as much the

32:50

Republican, as much of a Republican I am, I'm sort of a conservative

32:54

with a Republican lean because nine to eleven threw me for a complete loop,

33:00

and I'm one of those conspiracy theorists where I do not believe what we've been

33:05

fed on nine to eleven. I totally feel it was an inside job head

33:09

to toe, and I've done a ton of research on it. So my

33:14

question is like for you, like, I really like, you know,

33:16

I like all sides of how you you know, how you go about your

33:21

business, Like how do you carry yourself? You know, what do you

33:23

represent as your conservative or where are you at? Because I listened to you

33:30

plowing and all that, and I've just recently been tuning in a lot more

33:34

than I normally have, but like, how do you fall on your on

33:37

your end? Well, I consider myself to be a conservative. I'm kind

33:40

of a traditional sort of guy. I guess on some issue, right you

33:45

lean left? What's that? Do you lean right or do you lean right

33:50

left? Conservatives are considered that they did lean right. I mean, you

33:53

know, like my family, I have a brother who's a retired state police

34:00

tenant, a sister in law who's retired to state police officers. So I'm

34:02

very comfortable with the police community. I think that those folks are the thin

34:07

blue line. They protect all of our minds. Yep, you know, so we can have a longer conversation than night if you googled Nicole Shanahan.

34:15

She's had a pretty interesting life here. Hey, do me a favorite bill.

34:17

Call more often and we will. We'll get to know each other's politics

34:22

a little bit more. I think we'll probably be pretty close. Okay, Okay, yeah, sounds good. Thanks man. Talk to you soon.

34:28

Keep listening, keep rolling here. We are going next to Barry and Norwell.

34:32

Barry gonna push you a little bit on time here because we're getting a

34:35

little tight on time. Go ahead, very quick, I'll be quick. Thank you. She's a former congress person left the Democrat Party from Hawaii,

34:51

very very strong person, a veteran. Their name is Telsey Gabbert. Oh

34:55

sure, I think that's a good pick. I mean, that's one that

35:00

I don't know how how she gets along with with RFK Jr. But I

35:04

think she would be a very strong pick and the type of pick that would

35:08

that would help his campaign. To be honest with you, I think so.

35:12

She's beautiful, and she's well spoken, and she's Hillary called her rooting

35:19

for Putin or Putin. Yeah, I know that that's that. That's all

35:22

a bunch of and it look there's not much that Hillary Clinton has said in

35:28

the last fifteen years, including some of her comments on BEng Ghazi. She

35:32

she was dead wrong on ben Ghazi, and it cost the lives of four

35:37

brave Americans including you know, but they very they very healthy. They don't

35:44

see her anymore, Kennedy, Do you think he has a chance. No,

35:50

I don't in all honesty, be guys, they think that Ross Bureau

35:52

won nineteen percent of the vote in nineteen ninety two but didn't carry one state

35:58

and got no electoral vot that's the problem, you know. So we'll see.

36:04

Well, he's got to get he's got to get on ballot status.

36:07

He claims he's going to get on all the all the states. Uh,

36:10

well, we'll see. I mean it. Look, it's a long way

36:13

to novel. You never know what might happen. So, uh, if you're if you happen to be an RFK guy, stick with you, guy,

36:20

and and give him some support. We're trying to get him to come on the show, and his press office is totally inadequate. They're inconfident I

36:28

would be for him fair enough. All right, thanks, Barry. I

36:31

gotta run get four more. I gotta get right okay, thanks, Sorry,

36:35

folks. A little bit of a little a little bit of a head, not a head goal ther little allergies. Steven Mansfield, Steve, you

36:40

got to be quick from me. Go ahead, Steve, Sure, I'll

36:44

be real quick here. He needs to pick somebody that's going to anger both

36:50

the right and the left. He has to get somebody who's going to come

36:53

down the middle, you know, because uh, you know, there are

36:58

certain Republicans that don't like Trump yep, and there are a bunch of Democrats

37:02

that think Biden's too old. And a person who drew a lot of attention

37:07

was Nicky Hamley. Well, yeah, I mean that would be if he

37:12

ever were able to pull that off. I don't know that. And again

37:16

that's your that's your your suggestion, that's your pick. We we may go

37:22

through a cult, right, but that would be for him. That would

37:27

be on a scale of zero to ten and eleven if you got Nicky Haley.

37:31

Yeah, all right, I can always hope. Thanks Steve. Appreciate

37:38

your call. Dan and Wilmington. Dan, we got to punch it up

37:42

here, go right ahead, Dan, Okay, thank you, Dan,

37:45

h Can you hear me all right? I can here? You find a

37:47

right head. Yeah, my first pick would be Franklin Graham. You only

37:52

get one pick. Okay, I'm living in it. Franklin Graham. That's

37:58

an interesting pick. Believe me, that's an interesting pick. Now, you

38:02

guys have come up with some really good ones tonight. Okay. That would

38:07

help him with the South because of the Bible Belt down there. I think the Franklin Graham, you know, would pick up a lot of votes.

38:13

I'm with you. I'm with you, all right. Dan. I'm gonna

38:15

let you run because I got a whole bunch of folks behind you. Okay, thanks you man, Thank you man. Appreciate it very much. Jeff

38:20

and Brewster. Jeff, I got two more. You gotta be quick for me, Jeff Conda, Lieza Rice. Yeah, I mean I don't think

38:29

Condy Rice would do that. I think she's much too much of a Republican.

38:34

But what an amazing choice that would be. That would that would knock

38:38

it out of the park too, great, great suggestions. Okay, here

38:42

we go, Glenn, and have Glenn get you in one more. Go

38:44

ahead, Glenn, Hi, Dan, how are you doing. I'll make it short and sweet for you. Bernie Sanders and I'm gonna hang up and

38:50

let you talk a great Bernie Sanders Okay, I don't think so. I

38:52

think Bernie's with with Biden. But guess what that would be also a home

38:58

run. He's got a lot of choices here, Okay, thanks Glenn.

39:01

Last of Midnight, Christine and dead and Christine. I'm dine and know who

39:06

you're gonna pick, but you gotta be quick for me. Okay, Wow,

39:13

you know something. I will be stunned if that is the choice.

39:19

But guess what a lot of these other choices have stunned me too. Thanks

39:22

39:27
