OTR discusses looming ban on sheltering at Logan Airport

EFFECTIVE TUESDAY, MIGRANTS WILL BE BANNED FROM SLEEPING OVERNIGHT AT LOGAN AIRPORT. THEY’LL BE OFFERED A CHANCE TO GO TO THE STATES SAFETY NET SHELTERS, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT RECENTLY OPENED AT A FORMER CORRECTIONAL FACILITY IN NORFOLK. THE SITUATION AT LOGAN REALLY IS UGLY. SHOULD IT HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH SOONER? ADRIAN YEAH, PROBABLY. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THERE WASN’T A GOOD PLACE FOR THEM TO GO. AND HOPEFULLY NOW THERE ARE GOOD PLACES FOR THEM TO GO. WHAT DO YOU THINK, ROB? I MEAN, BECAUSE THERE WAS LITERALLY NO ROOM AT THE N OTHER PLACES. ADRIAN’S RIGHT. THEY DECIDED TO RIDE IT OUT AND TAKE THE PR HIT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO. WELL, GOVERNOR MAURA HEALEY, SHE SENT A TEAM TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER LAST MONTH. IT COST TAXPAYERS ABOUT $7,000. SHE WANTED TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT THAT MASSACHUSETTS IS FULL, AND THAT MIGRANTS SHOULD FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO GO. WHY DIDN’T SHE GO ROB? WELL, I THINK IF IT WAS A SERIOUS EFFORT, MORE THAN JUST A BIT OF A PR STUNT, EVEN THOUGH I THINK IT WAS JUST A BLIP AS A PR STUNT. AND THAT’S WHAT REPUBLICANS HAVE SAID. SHE SHE WOULD HAVE GONE. BUT I ACTUALLY THINK WHERE SHE WENT THIS WEEK TO THE WHITE HOUSE IS ACTUALLY THE RIGHT PLACE TO GO AND THROTTLED JOE BIDEN FOR THE POLICIES THAT THAT HE PUT IN PLACE TO ALLOW THE WAVE OF, OF IMMIGRANTS TO COME IN. SHE WASN’T STRONG ENOUGH AGAINST JOE BIDEN. THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT OFF THE TAP. NO, YOU SAID THE RIGHT PLACE TO GO IS THE WHITE HOUSE. I THINK THE RIGHT PLACE TO GO WOULD BE CAPITOL HILL, WHERE THE LEGISLATION THAT WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM DIED, BECAUSE IT’S A FAIR POINT, BECAUSE TRUMP WON. YEAH. NO. REPUBLICANS, REPUBLICANS EVENTUALLY, UM, THEY STOOD IN THE WAY, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. BUT I THINK EARLY ON IT WAS WAS BIDEN’S PROBLEM. REPUBLICANS DID CALL IT A PUBLICITY STUNT. DO YOU THINK IT WAS? YEAH. I MEAN, I DON’T THINK IT’S VERY EFFECTIVE. I ALSO DON’T THINK $7,000 IS A LOT OF MONEY EITHER, THOUGH, SO I’M NOT TOO DO YOU THINK IT ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING? DO YOU THINK IT GOT THE MESSAGE OUT THAT PEOPLE WILL STOP COMING? I DON’T THINK IT WILL STOP. ONE PERSON FOR COMING. ALL RIGHT, WELL, SINCE SUMMER REALLY IS HERE NOW, LET’S WRAP THINGS UP A BIT DIFFERENTLY. GIVE ME A POLITICIAN WHO HAS SOME SIZZLE RIGHT NOW, OR ONE WHO’S MORE OF A FIZZLE. ADRIAN, YOU FIRST. I’LL TELL YOU WHO’S GOT SOME SIZZLE. GRETCHEN WHITMER, HER MEMOIR JUST DROPPED THIS WEEK, AND SHE’S BEING TALKED ABOUT AS A POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR BIDEN ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. MICHELLE OBAMA, MICHELLE OBAMA HAS THE SIZZLE. SHE’S THE ONLY DEMOCRAT WHO CAN ONE PUSH OUT BIDEN. TWO BEAT TRUMP. SHE’S 5039, BEATING TRUMP MUCH BETTER THAN BIDEN. HER FAV UNFAV IS MILES AHEAD OF JOE BIDEN. SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN RESCUE THE DEMOCRATS. ALL RIGHT, THANKS FOR BEING HERE. HAPPY FOURTH. THANKS FOR MAKING US A PART OF
