" All right let's be honest okay. If we're going to start this this new day dawning in America let's start with -- let's not that's not you know play around the truth here. How many total minutes of the Celtics game did you watch last night while much Comcast sports that -- so it's on the TV in the corner I'd do -- the post game stuff so it's -- and -- eight. I think Illinois -- and Aikman that's I might have seen. Five told moment actual live action got blown you know date him tense second it would hit the ball I go back and forth they'd they'd get a commercial and I all of its Monica's at one point I I angle over. I see on our test rain this long three. And they you know crap he's got -- battery this morning I saw basically needed for the all act if -- fifty with all the rest of the night. I may -- five. -- I just the ratings -- the -- the game -- to -- something so it was it was an alternative I guess so I -- And heart better idea that. Better -- would have expected hardcourt -- hardcore NBA I was gonna say I try to acknowledged that weakens the value or watching election and I rarely seriously it's a bit more going on the world and at a basketball game although it was a fine win for the boys and were happy that. Become bounced back from the awful performance in Indiana in and look very -- so biden's. Some watching all the young like your body where now might sound and channel channel -- what was your mainstay. I think it's more of NBC and anybody but I've really literally at the and at one point I'm watching CNN is 9:40 am thinking of DC well I am on the hologram whoever the that guy is it is holograms -- it's pretty cool prince -- to acknowledge my headache all I mean Jesus so I'm thinking 940 last Campbell brown and John -- standing in front of one of those you know. Maps that you touch and they light up -- and all that stuff and Campbell brown says to John king she said make a case. War. John McCain winning this election he said. Okay it's Alvis and he starts to gutsy wins this when he -- that's when this income taxes on this one and he's he's going to win this one given this. He said Allen can't in good conscience give him Washington Oregon and California because he's not going to win those he's given all of the he says it's gotta like 240. And it looks at Cameron says what if you're on the west I want -- go. All ball where at 940 last night John king at CNN is saying. It's all over Pennsylvania. Was half -- or and then Ohio it was. Oh absolutely. Everybody knew it I mean you know he hit some half hearted attempt. To make the case except you're just I mean. In hotel I've heard that the Democrats won Ohio before that happened last year it -- area although as the bogus examples. I've heard of reply a Democrats on Florida before -- arm over 2000 so there's. Until I saw the old guy up on -- John McCain that was. I wasn't. You know. I still wasn't sure how's that. Well I I I half joking -- you enhanced series yesterday when I said. By the time the polls close on the west coast you're -- now well on -- and you knew at 940 you know but but they were waiting for the the -- at 11 o'clock yeah for everybody -- okay. -- They couldn't it all in it was actually kind of funny. CNN was was actually behind everybody I think there or they were really slow or cautious is probably better term given argument -- exhibit some of these previous elections people got burned it just didn't. It's the foolish declaring the election decline in Florida gored the last time with Ohio and journalists -- the bowlers like thank. I think. At CNN anyway that's why -- muscle might always aired on the side they would weight behind most spine I'd I'd flip NBC or CBS you know. And and the electoral count would be like you know went 79 to seven something. Minute it's -- and it it would be you know 125. To forty it and it's okay -- haven't caught up yet they will. You almost think that some idiots in and it's in the back with a TV monitor like your. Comcast sports -- it. Cannot depend -- the seats aisles without. I almost wonder what their what their doing it was an historic day in America and and even though the guy that I voted for did not win. I can look at things at least you know. Legitimately enough to say across the world if you see in the world reaction because of course you know now it's. It's been in April on -- but there. See the reaction around the world. You know to the fact that America has actually lack in African American candidate there now president elect. It has changed our our image in the world that not mean that amount to a hill of -- it may be good for about a week but the image of the United States has changed -- lot of people's --"
" It was a it was a blowout a lot of people thought it would -- early like Q dale you're right. It's still improbable and solve many ways in so many ways mean in my lifetime dale. The only two Democrats to win a national election like this work southern Democrats white southern Democrats who could play the metal and build themselves as middle centers for God's sakes booklet and started. You know all the right wing of the Democratic Party that democratic leadership council whatever that he did at that point. So both the only Democrats we've known to win this election. This guy. It'll left Winger met his record will see how he governs what can't get more far the last year he -- himself as a centrist that's not his record so far so little left Winger he's an African American and just look at the history of the -- a lot of African American politicians look at the history of African Americans in statewide elections which is basically what this is this the series of fifty. Statewide elections how many black governors. Are there how many black senators. Our it is like congressman for specific districts. But the number of African Americans when statewide elections ought to mop the number all find it. But it's small it's small. So you've got a left wing African American as it happens to be Hussein. Don't tell me that helps him."
" I don't -- had any effect at all. It positively horn while we wouldn't have a positive effect I don't get it any negative effect -- the fight so do you a year ago you're going to have a left wing liberal black those things I think different I don't his middle name I don't I I think people just sick. You know -- that was convenient timing beauty in him he didn't have a choice in what his name was."
" Didn't help my opinion W it all those things you don't hesitate -- People forget that take on the entire democratic. Party establishment. Vote the Democratic Party was behind the house of Clinton and that was the established. Candidate at the time when the primaries in the caucuses started -- Hillary had a lot more money probably she certainly had the backing of the party. So this -- had to take on all of that up and then to win a national election I mean. That is improbable -- he was favorite going -- but it by giving you all those conditions a year before he'd say I'm. I'm smoking -- which I apparently."
" Now doing message is that the small amount let the bottom line and and the thing that ultimately was the final nail in John McCain's coffin. Woods was the complete implosion of the financial system here a month or so ago. And and the fact that because George Bush is the president when it happens it's his ball. Now people who look a little deeper into it -- that's ludicrous. And we just reelected the guy primarily responsible for what happened here a month or so ago because in Massachusetts we don't have brains we just go wherever were told ago. You cannot make a case -- right and and he's not my district so I didn't get to vote against them. You can't make an argument for re electing Barney Frank it can't be -- Other than the fact voted for -- For John Kerry I district either. I don't think we don't have brains I think were pretty smart in the statewide the great place -- what you choose to live here tell me why someone would would re elected. Who was. May be more responsible for what happened here a month or so -- any other person on the -- I think for anyone to claim that he was more responsible I think Tyson is primarily response is up sort is just category -- was George -- was it George Bush's fault well. The government deserves a -- what -- George Bush's as the George Bush is up alt rock Obama that's the horse he wrote the last month. No what this is George Bush's fault and John McCain voted with George Bush at a time this is their fault I'm going to."
" Exit I think I think Walsh was mostly to blame I -- yeah there was government pushes the about these bad mortgages and Barney Frank was a part of that -- not a body was the primary -- mover and -- there was no government -- push or government law that asked Walter to leverage itself thirty -- and -- sort of bad -- to -- and then. At that leverage themselves debt to ask it's thirty to one -- the law and that I understand what was it George Bush's ball. Which is what a rock has been telling you well since it happened and it's -- fault -- but it's just sort of the way it works I mean that is why I understand. My point is. If if rocket's gonna tell you it's -- ball. It's just as valid for me to say it's Barney Frank's fault in here in Massachusetts that doesn't matter of fine both the wrong fine I'll grant you that no problem. It is amazing though how. The negativity he's George Bush that the that negative rating and that's what this thing was about all his salute all just that about Obama is true. But I think any Democrat would one this year I really do I mean local rating yesterday I -- on one of the networks was like 71%. The highest since the great -- I mean. This doric negative negative numbers and John McCain couldn't get out from -- and you know what's amazing. That wasn't really a scandal that wasn't. There was no that the the stock market crash for the stock market crashed at the end of Reagan and didn't have these sort of numbers. There was no scandal like Michael ethics -- Clinton got impeached and his negatives were much better. Then that George Bush is our right now there was no major scandal. -- or what drag down a lot of people but it wasn't. It reached Vietnam levels of discontent idea okay so there was. There was just an intense dislike of George Bush and what he did the last eight years organic. Dis like and disapproval. Of what -- I did for eight years no major scandal no huge world war conflict and that. Remarkably George Bush was that bad without the benefit of any of those major events to be that widely reviled. I mean it's remarkable when you think about it."
" Here's what I when I wonder about today and I woke up this morning and it was the first spot when -- You know I went to bed late last night knowing with a president elect was is everybody else that bought my first up this morning was. What does this mean not just to meet the -- to everybody what does -- mean what happens now. You've got a democratic controlled house democratic controlled although not filibuster proof senate -- missed by four. What does that mean what is that what changes those."
" And that things aren't done their recounting Al franken staying in Minnesota which is really 800 I think there recounting and that's the one if if -- One of the guys as CNN. Republican strategists that if we get the -- lunatic like Al franken we've got realistic. Which tend to agree with them on that one. That got Alaska the convicted. Olivo even want I think I I don't know -- been declare or not but he's ahead he's going to win."
" It's unbelievable immediately it would be like if you the double B I Lewis -- know what I agree completed it would be as an. If -- write in campaign for Dianne Wilkerson I'd seen him are you mean the same thing with Ted Stephens as Diane Welker and except he has been convicted yet he Ted Stevens -- and picked it."
" While all of what you say what happens next day and again -- this is I can't remember who said this last -- on CNN but it's right it's that's the Obama's take a lot of time now is these numbers have gone in his favor recently to start really studying the first couple years a Clinton because Clinton basically blow the first couple of years he had. Majorities in both houses he had that changed wave of momentum and he overreached. The health -- thing killed them remembered don't ask don't tell me that shaped a lot of people -- worked against him and at. Joyful elders that that goofy. A surgeon general you know he he did he over reached and two years later Republicans blew their doors out. So I think Obama he's looked at that. And he's got you know he's got both in -- and he's got all these Democrats that he's got to he's got to governed the -- of oh of his congress --"
" And and I guess the point ultimately that I was surrounding but not getting to discuss the Oakland has only god uses. He has it set up that basically anything he wants he's going to get. So that's not -- well basically that's what I he's gonna get whatever legislation he wants he's going to get throw that filibuster was and it's pretty serious now I. He's been telling us for 22 months. That he's going to be able to fix things while now it's it's almost like America's set okay. I call showing your cards but now he's got he's got the house he's got the Senate. He's got he's got the you know obviously the executive branch now -- now it's your turn okay go ahead and fix it to wonder what that means to us. I'll I'll take it back to the sports world in -- three and a half percent mourn your income taxes -- and and I was just -- to -- about -- few minutes -- believe it -- not. At the baseball general managers' meetings mate who are watching the presidential election results and they've already made plans. They are talking at the GMs meetings and I'm talking about baseball agents not general managers but the agents. Are saying that they're going to look at putting together contracts in which signing bonuses. Will be paid before January 1 of this year. And and run all of these contracts more bigger signing bonus lower average annual yield. But a bigger signing bonus before January 1 to avoid exactly what you just said. That tax rate is going to go up what."
" And they want to keep more of the money that they can -- that any money manager any tax attorneys can't tell you F. You happen have a capital gains -- who void in his clocked him at this very day no I don't have a lot now of anyone does. You've got to get that off the books before the new capital gains tax started states the same thing that's what everyone scrambles to deal that's. That's what happens that's what happens when those tax rates go up to what they were. Under Clinton but I I think they'll be a futile. Early indications you can tell if Obama going to be goofy lefty early or you can -- in this -- one thing that's important to our industry that's Fairness Doctrine or it could there be a more -- ironic -- stupid in the history of the English language than that so that they're trying to -- equal time for liberal news talkers on conservatives. News talk stations. Which would just kill a lot of conservative talk radio for obvious reasons because for whatever reason liberal talk radio doesn't work right knocked it -- it up. It does the president can't make money. Talking of the liberal on the radio you can make -- out of money. Ask all the folks at -- America how that worked out right exactly so it. Died so there's this year you had a there was a station. In framing and the at a Boston area station. No one lesson. Right sell. There's still this democratic push for this Fairness Doctrine for equal time which would kill that Obama has said he's opposed to it. If he starts to waiver on now don't say he's already waiver are part of mom both sides of that same thing if he if they try to push the Fairness Doctrine. It's a mistake it's an over reach and -- site are all okay they are going to try and overreached. This thing with -- I'm not up on this issue at all I -- I'm fairly ignorant about a by no generally the union voting issue and the union guardians of the voting in -- voting in person in that. How well how much opposition there is right to that in the small business community and if they try to push that through early you know you'll see early indications that he. Try and do does he do his version of the don't ask don't tell that he do these things early. And alienate a lot of people and set himself up for backlash in two years or does he -- this matter --"
" He's got a look at all the gay rights initiatives across the country and and basically unanimously everyone of them it looks like is going on down to defeat he's got to look at that and say you know what the country go in there. So if -- go in that direction. I'm going to have a whole lot of people who you know a little upset at me now he's already talking about more than one term. In his remarks last night he does that bother you none of my point is that his mentality PM I tried Jemison and three and happier don't know just the opposite. If -- already thinking about a second term in his remarks last night. Man -- be able to do this initially not in the first truck right not even in the first turn I heard that results on thinkin' he's the he's got to do what you're describe. He -- to that center -- already. Hasn't even taken the oath of office yet but is already thinking about the second term."
" There's no evidence to indicate that he will because his voting record never liberal. I just the reason I think he will dale is because I think he's smart and and we had this big discussion yesterday the experience in the qualifications he's not experienced. You can't argue that that's facts not opinion he's not experienced. What does that mean he's unqualified. Experiences. Part of what makes up qualified right so he doesn't have that. But -- other qualities that makes him qualified and I think he does he get it just from his campaign the dumbest before dale. Audience and people worker for a move that well and he -- axle -- into and it's for a little -- a wild night like that but again most of those people until you start out with Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton had the established democratic operatives and that apparatus she did. -- maybe some of come over obviously at this stage but he started from the ground with. The Internet stuff and the text and stuff and get out the ball moves his ground game was epic his early vote campaigns were epic until this guy. Figured it all out on the -- his worst it's not give him all the credit he was smart enough to surround himself with people who helped him figure out huge part and I up when your practice picking the right -- I have no argument about that okay why I was disappointed in McCain's. Choice for vice president -- So my point is. You probably knew he could do this we -- think I won North Carolina dale you want Virginia. Think of that. He won for you one Indiana couldn't caller -- the -- and what I mean. John -- alone that call I don't know overall left wing democratic black man middle name Hussein one Indiana and North Carolina now -- but the loss to North Carolina to you know how he did that. The ground game apparatus of of his campaign all right so an indication to me that. He's pretty smart he can do that I don't anybody ever questioned his talent if you can do that he has up I don't know bought the other guy was very smart I mean the guy who lost was very smart so it wasn't like I was I was at all while McCain's. Not a smart as Obama I can't vote for what they were all very bright brilliant people to say he's unqualified. You'd -- he's not experienced. But I think we've seen the perfect campaign mistakes did you make you want it one mistake. We told -- diploma -- guys spread the while that was the one time the words left his mouth and he said -- well. Other than that I don't know the guy missing a mistake talk about odd message well -- I day."
" Gotta be honest didn't and it was it was a landslide in the electoral vote and and all that but as we were saying yesterday. With the perfect storm. All raid in his favor. He should have killed. Whoever the Republican Party put up. He had everything going in his favor it's true he had an unpopular president an unpopular war. Up our financial system that imploded a month or so ago and you could tagged out on the president he had everything going for."
" He did Indiana. North Carolina Virginia. States that haven't gone blue in decades and decades and decades -- that. So he took the Helms. I mean think about that for a Matt Wright and you want to what the -- changed the last two elections in the congress. I mean. Total repudiation of George Bush and that administration what the Republicans of double last it is no other way to look at it. The Dempster controlled two years ago on the continued. Well most every historic big win in the mid term election. It's usually followed by a loss of seats by the the party that won the -- that -- some sort of way the natural -- that. Democrats had huge gains thirty plus I think in the house. You know six. History with -- that they lose a -- this time they did they gained fifteen saying with the Senate. I mean that's the story right there are just the complete. Utter rejection of George Bush and that administration."
" I am why not quite as far off to the right as my friend Jerry Kelly okay actually when it is all my son my -- the only one who's out there with. -- I do not believe this is the end of the earth as we know Dan you know I don't believe this is the beginning of the end times and all like people blowing at McCain's thing and the camp by the way. We couldn't have been class remains a league. Decent classy guy always liked about no problem with him as my president has party got the -- let the bowling the bowling you know what it is. It's like in you know this you've lived your whole life like on into a locker room after a tough loss and asking and aptly. You're probably going to hear something that if given a few moments to think they probably are gonna say. And those people that -- the -- with with. You know John McCain where that athlete who just lost you know the nineteenth game of the season of the New York Giants he's a class act he -- those people -- or like I just I I never take too seriously athletes in the immediate aftermath of the gut wrenching loss. So on eyes as much I didn't like the hero and it kinda give them a bit of a pass. I I I don't think it's the end of the of the earth. I just want to know what's going to happen now. Yeah I'm already hearing. Democratic. Leaders calling for a honeymoon period and extended honeymoon period I mean I'm listening to the today show this morning. And there was a black congressman and I apologize for not remembering his name I can and he's talking about what we need to give Barack Obama and extended honeymoon period. Not interested -- extended honeymoon period."
" It's day they have been hammering me for all this time about. This rates or in and how badly are off well I don't want to hear about money would want to hear about what we -- You tell honest this is the change we've been waiting for this is the sea change this is that we're gonna X. Well don't tell me. Next and the next terminal dale. It's 1030. On Wednesday the at -- act and I don't I don't think -- beginning of the guy practically not. Not my point at all my point is where we golf what does this mean for us. -- I'm not at all I don't know one of really. Getting razor razor community you know -- and say I've made more money than I did back and well -- make more money -- did back back that was in my twenties that's saying everybody's making more money -- lot of people may help a lot of money in the ninety's paying 39% not the issue. But that's going to you know that's ridiculous yet -- more --"
" In April few more -- if you make money -- him this past 617779850. Toll free 888. 525850. You've got to Verizon cellphone. It pound WEEI -- call for all of you guys. Culture I warned yesterday and be a major topic of discussion today but it will be going forward. Scott Boras hasn't take you don't talk to be about how much less you think one of my clients is going to be all about auto auto at all. Four years 52 at the party but a lot of money that's where will start and yet exactly."
