Speaker 1: He's night side with Dan Ray on WBZ Foston's radio.
Speaker 2: All Right, we have had a pretty interesting seventy two
Speaker 2: or so hours since we last were together on Friday night.
Speaker 2: Most of us when we left on Friday night were
Speaker 2: counting the days down to when President Trump was going
Speaker 2: to finish two weeks of contemplation. He had said it
Speaker 2: would take two weeks for him to figure out exactly what.
Speaker 2: Up to two weeks, he said, Up to two weeks.
Speaker 2: That would have taken us to about the fourth of July,
Speaker 2: interestingly enough, and then Saturday night word broke that there
Speaker 2: had been an attack by US military Air Force against
Speaker 2: these three installations in Iran, and the President spoke on
Speaker 2: about ten o'clock. So just to refresh your recollection, let's
Speaker 2: go to cut one.
Speaker 3: A please robe that these strikes were a spectacular military success.
Speaker 3: Iran's key nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and
Speaker 3: totally obliterated around the bully of the Middle East must
Speaker 3: now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would
Speaker 3: be far greater and a lot easier.
Speaker 2: The President went on in his speech. This is a
Speaker 2: second cut from the speech. Cut number two. Please rob.
Speaker 3: For forty years, Iran has been saying death to America,
Speaker 3: death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing
Speaker 3: off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs,
Speaker 3: that was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people,
Speaker 3: and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around
Speaker 3: the world have died as a direct result of their hate.
Speaker 3: In particular, so many were killed by their general Cassem Soleimani.
Speaker 3: I decided a long time ago that I would not.
Speaker 2: Let this happen. It will not continue.
Speaker 3: I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister, bb NET
Speaker 3: and Yahoo. We worked as a team like perhaps no
Speaker 3: team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long
Speaker 3: way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.
Speaker 2: So there were a lot of questions over the weekend
Speaker 2: as to how much damage those bunker busting bombs were
Speaker 2: able to do to these facilities, the three facilities, which
Speaker 2: well two of them were hit by bunker busting bombs
Speaker 2: and the third was hit by a lot of missiles
Speaker 2: from the US submarine. And over the weekend, I've seen
Speaker 2: the pattern before that Donald Trump said things were obliterated,
Speaker 2: and particularly on CNN, there was a lot of skepticism. Now,
Speaker 2: Democrats seem to forget that it wasn't too long ago
Speaker 2: that there was a Democratic presidential candidate who you might remember,
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton. But back in two thousand and eight, this
Speaker 2: is what Hillary Clinton had to say about attacking Iran.
Speaker 2: Cut one to oh three, rob.
Speaker 4: And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm
Speaker 4: the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development
Speaker 4: they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the
Speaker 4: next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching
Speaker 4: an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally
Speaker 4: obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say that Those
Speaker 4: people who run around need to understand that, because that
Speaker 4: perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish,
Speaker 4: and tragic.
Speaker 2: That was the same same verb that President Trump used,
Speaker 2: what's seventeen years later, obliterate. Well, anyway, today Iran did
Speaker 2: fire some missiles at a US airbase, a US base
Speaker 2: in the Middle East. Apparently the Iranians fired fourteen missiles
Speaker 2: I believe it was the number, and only one got through.
Speaker 2: No one was injured. And now President Trump has released
Speaker 2: this statement. I hope it's true. It's let me read
Speaker 2: it to you. This president released this about six oh
Speaker 2: two this evening as the Yes six oh two June
Speaker 2: twenty third, congratulations to everyone. It has been fully agreed
Speaker 2: by and between Israel and Iran that there will be
Speaker 2: a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now, well,
Speaker 2: that would be midnight our time, when Israel and Iran
Speaker 2: have wound out and completed their in progress final missions
Speaker 2: for twelve hours, at which point the war will be
Speaker 2: considered officially ended. Iran will start the ceasefire, and upon
Speaker 2: the twelfth hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and upon
Speaker 2: the twentieth twenty fourth hour, an official end to the
Speaker 2: twelve day war will be saluted by the world. Now
Speaker 2: this is sort of interesting because I think what he's saying,
Speaker 2: it's a little unclear, is that at midnight tonight Iran
Speaker 2: will stand down, and during that time I guess Israel
Speaker 2: will have an opportunity to attack Iran if I'm reading
Speaker 2: this correctly, and then at noon tomorrow Israel will stop.
Speaker 2: So Iran stops at midnight, Israel has twelve hours and
Speaker 2: I guess again a little confusing here because he then
Speaker 2: goes on to say during each cease fire on the
Speaker 2: other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the assumption
Speaker 2: that everything works as it should, which it will. I
Speaker 2: would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on
Speaker 2: having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should
Speaker 2: be called the twelve day War. Israel was involved in
Speaker 2: a six day war many years ago. This is a
Speaker 2: war that could have gone on for years and destroyed
Speaker 2: the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will.
Speaker 2: God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East,
Speaker 2: God bless the United States of America, and God bless
Speaker 2: the world. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States
Speaker 2: of America. Now it's a little unclear to me here,
Speaker 2: but it said that Iran we'll start the cease fire,
Speaker 2: and upon the twelfth hour, Israel will start the cease fire.
Speaker 2: So I could construe that to say Israel will have
Speaker 2: twelve hours from midnight to noon to do what they
Speaker 2: would like to try to do. I don't it's a
Speaker 2: little unclear to me. It's a little unclear to me. Officially,
Speaker 2: Iran will start the cease fire again, he said, approximately
Speaker 2: six hours, which would be midnight our time here in
Speaker 2: the East coast. So we'll have to see how it
Speaker 2: works out. My questions then are pretty simple and pretty straightforward.
Speaker 2: What was your reaction when you heard on Saturday night
Speaker 2: or Sunday morning, if you were out partying on Saturday night,
Speaker 2: what was your reaction to the unilateral action that the
Speaker 2: US took. You're a lot of Democrat today who went
Speaker 2: after Donald Trump. If if the president is right, and
Speaker 2: I will try to during my break here at double
Speaker 2: check with some additional uh information as to whether or
Speaker 2: not I have read that correctly, uh and if there
Speaker 2: are any late developments uh. And I know some of
Speaker 2: you will be watching for me let me know. So
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about it for two hours. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe Donald Trump did the right thing here, big gamble.
Speaker 2: If one of those planes ever had been shot down
Speaker 2: or crashed, imagine what the response would have been. So
Speaker 2: six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. I'm wondering if there are any people who
Speaker 2: are out there, you know, certainly not our Democratic elected
Speaker 2: leaders in Massachusetts, but if there are any people out
Speaker 2: there who particularly don't like Donald Trump, but are willing
Speaker 2: to say, hey, this gamble might have worked, or even
Speaker 2: might say whether this gamble works or not. He did
Speaker 2: the right thing. I talked to a friend on Saturday
Speaker 2: night and I said he was concerned that this might
Speaker 2: initiate a nuclear war. I said, on the contrary, my opinion,
Speaker 2: this takes and prevents another player from walking on to
Speaker 2: the nuclear states. There are nine countries around the world
Speaker 2: that have some level of nuclear weapons. We can go
Speaker 2: through all of that anyway. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 2: ten thirty or six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
Speaker 2: This is a huge story. This if if he'll never
Speaker 2: win the Nobel Peace Prize, but if this were to
Speaker 2: lead to peace in the Middle East, I don't know
Speaker 2: how how the people who present the Nobel Peace Prize
Speaker 2: would ever be able to handle this. We'll be back
Speaker 2: on Night's side. Let's get the conversation going. Coming right back.
Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z, Boston's
Speaker 1: news radio.
Speaker 2: Well, just checking there. It has been again no indication
Speaker 2: that the problems have developed. There has been some suggestion.
Speaker 2: I'm reading from a New York Times article here, which
Speaker 2: just has cleared the wire twenty three wires. Twenty three
Speaker 2: minutes ago, a group of New York Times reporters Finares Fasihi,
Speaker 2: Jonathan Swan, Ronan Bergman, Aaron Boxerman, and Adam Rasband. President
Speaker 2: trust Trump said on social media Monday that Israel and
Speaker 2: Iran had agreed on a ceasefire. Hours later, Aroun's Foreign
Speaker 2: Minister of US Are Geeche suggested a cease fire was possible,
Speaker 2: but said there was no agreement as of now. He
Speaker 2: had around, would be willing to lay down arms if
Speaker 2: Israel star and illegal it's illegal aggression against the Iranian people.
Speaker 2: By four am in Tehran. I think it's four am
Speaker 2: in Tehran at this point. Actually it's probably after four am.
Speaker 2: It's probably I'm guessing here, it's probably six am. And
Speaker 2: Israeli military spokesman declined to comment, and as that deadline approach,
Speaker 2: Israel was continuing to strike Iran with missiles in one
Speaker 2: of the most intense barages of the war. Mister Trump's
Speaker 2: assertion came hours after Iran launched missiles at l Udan
Speaker 2: Airbase and Cutter, the largest American military installation in the
Speaker 2: Middle East, retaliating for US strikes on Irani and nuclear sites,
Speaker 2: though giving fore warning to limit the damage. Vice President
Speaker 2: jad E Vance said soon after that mister Trump's post
Speaker 2: that the war appeared to be effectively over and there
Speaker 2: was now an opportunity to restart real peace process. Mister
Speaker 2: Trump's language was characteristically less cautious. It has been fully
Speaker 2: agreed by in between Israel and Iran that there will
Speaker 2: be a complete and total ceasefire, the president rode in
Speaker 2: social media. I read that to you as well. Three Democrats,
Speaker 2: three diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy,
Speaker 2: said that top Katari officials had intervened in behalf of
Speaker 2: the Trump administration and persuaded around to agree to an
Speaker 2: American CEI's fire proposal after being told Israel had signed on.
Speaker 2: So we'll see. The proof will be when this time passes.
Speaker 2: Let's go next to Jack is a Newton. Jack is
Speaker 2: going to start us off. Jack is no fan of
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. There's no question about that. Hey Jack, how
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Jack Porter from Newton. Well, I think it took
Speaker 5: everybody by surprise, but maybe that was part of his rules,
Speaker 5: to fool people and not you know they I'll tell
Speaker 5: people what he was going to do. It's kind of
Speaker 5: interesting that both the left, or at least the moderate
Speaker 5: left on the right, unlike Guyza, have been united on
Speaker 5: this except for you know, Elizabeth Warren and saying that
Speaker 5: you know, they had to bound and then we have
Speaker 5: to destroy that.
Speaker 2: Well you would you, Jack, You you wouldn't put Elizabeth
Speaker 2: Warren as as a member of the moderate left anyway.
Speaker 5: I mean said the left and the right, not the
Speaker 5: extreme left. Elizabeth Warren is not not the moderate left
Speaker 5: just another word for liberals.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that your Congressman Cha Claus has
Speaker 2: been been very good on this issue recently, and I
Speaker 2: think I saw a statement from him today. Uh. I
Speaker 2: didn't perceive that that statement was particularly critical of the
Speaker 2: action that was taken, if I if I heard it
Speaker 2: correctly in its entirety.
Speaker 5: Well, that's what I'm saying, is just an issue that
Speaker 5: unlike Gaza, it seems like the left and the right, Uh,
Speaker 5: I agree that it is not to be done. And
Speaker 5: then now we moved Thomas.
Speaker 2: Then so what what is your what what do you
Speaker 2: think that? I mean? You know, maybe Iran feels at
Speaker 2: this point that all of the proxies have been eliminated
Speaker 2: or or diminished. Uh. They obviously know better than most
Speaker 2: what damage was inflicted on Saturday. You know, Saturday, Saturday night.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this as maybe maybe they're they're hurting
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 5: Well, I think the the leadership is worried that this
Speaker 5: could destabilize the country and and lead to the overthrow
Speaker 5: of the moms and bring it back to what we
Speaker 5: we had hope for it to kind of a more
Speaker 5: secular ran The people don't want ther moms, they don't
Speaker 5: want harmonies, So maybe this was a way to to
Speaker 5: stop that possibility. But Trump is smart not to uh,
Speaker 5: to have gone over a regime change, not to support
Speaker 5: a regime change, and he hopes that that will happen
Speaker 5: naturally or unnaturally by itself, which I think it could.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't had much luck. I mean when the
Speaker 2: when the Obama administration took Kadaffi out, remember was it
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton? You know, we came, we saw he died. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know that didn't work out great, and uh, certainly
Speaker 2: Iraq didn't work out great. So maybe ironically Donald Trump
Speaker 2: has has done what had to be done here and
Speaker 2: got the message across that that we're serious and that
Speaker 2: they're not going to get a nuclear weapon, which I
Speaker 2: think is actually a positive result for the world. We
Speaker 2: don't need more countries with nuclear weapons. We get nine
Speaker 2: of them already that have nuclear weapons.
Speaker 5: He might he might win the Nodill Price. The Nobel
Speaker 5: Prize has gone to people who were the most peaceful
Speaker 5: well whatever, like a thought and being, and Para's got it.
Speaker 5: So it's uh, it's quite possible he might get the
Speaker 5: Noldill Price.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I don't think Arafat every should have received
Speaker 2: the Nobel Peace Prize. Uh. And but I think that
Speaker 2: shows more of a bias towards towards the West, uh
Speaker 2: and towards Israel. I think that's evidence evidence of I
Speaker 2: would perceive that as anti Semitism. On behalf of the
Speaker 2: folks who give out the Nobel Peace Prize, Yes, sir
Speaker 2: era fact, no Nobel Peace Prize. How many people did
Speaker 2: he personally killed? The people?
Speaker 5: I've been nominated for the Nobel Piece Prize.
Speaker 2: Everybody can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I could.
Speaker 2: I would have nominated you, Jack, if you had nominated me.
Speaker 2: It's a joke in many respects.
Speaker 5: I nominate you for some for the one hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty most notable Bostonians from Boston Bagusan nominated.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Jack, that's very very appreciative. But but
Speaker 2: you won't see that.
Speaker 5: Nominate you for a Peace Prize and you'll.
Speaker 2: You got it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like people that you will get nominated, and it's
Speaker 5: very litical. I don't know for both, you know, either
Speaker 5: of us will get it going.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's like the people pay one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: or whatever it is, or one thousand dollars to have
Speaker 2: your name on the on a presidential ballot in New Hampshire,
Speaker 2: so when your obituary is written, they can always say,
Speaker 2: you know, Joe Smith candidate for president in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: or in twenty sixty or whatever. That's that's that's a
Speaker 2: scam that that New Hampshire has been running on people
Speaker 2: for a long time. You get eleven votes and you rent,
Speaker 2: you can say legitimately you rent for president. Hey, Jack,
Speaker 2: thank you much. I got the news. I gotta get
Speaker 2: to thanks buddy for starting us off. I appreciate it
Speaker 2: all right. I will remind you we have two phone
Speaker 2: numbers here at WBZ. Not only can you call the
Speaker 2: number that Jack just vacated six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 2: ten thirty, but there's also six one, seven, nine, three,
Speaker 2: one ten thirty. We got open lines here. I kind
Speaker 2: of imagine my audience is not interested in weighing in
Speaker 2: on this Donald Trump. The Democrats are all upset. Some
Speaker 2: of the Democrats are all upset with them. Is this
Speaker 2: an impeachable offense? No, I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 2: think so. President Obama and other presidents before him, including
Speaker 2: I believe President Biden actually has also done the things.
Speaker 2: Who were they going to? Who did they want Congress
Speaker 2: to be made aware of this? Did they want to
Speaker 2: tell elon Oma or AOC that we were sending stealth
Speaker 2: bombers to Iran? I don't think that would have been
Speaker 2: a good idea. We'd be back on Night's side. Join
Speaker 2: the conversation six months seven two, five, four to ten thirty.
Speaker 2: Six month seven nine three, ten thirty.
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
Speaker 1: news radio.
Speaker 2: All right, we're talking about the activity of the weekend.
Speaker 2: We're going to go next to Jeff Is in Chelsea. Jeff,
Speaker 2: your thoughts on what transpired over the weekend and what
Speaker 2: appears to be transpiring tonight.
Speaker 6: Oh, thanks you very much, Dan, Well, Dan, I am
Speaker 6: definitely for what Trump did. Ireanne cannot have a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 6: so this had to be done. But my main concern
Speaker 6: is the blowback, the retaliation by Iran in particular, but
Speaker 6: also communists and other Muslim countries with the sleeper cells
Speaker 6: that are already inside this country, and what could happen
Speaker 6: down the road attacks on the homeland. For instance, a
Speaker 6: long time ago, there was an article, there was a
Speaker 6: news story about this guy named Alexi sub who was
Speaker 6: with Hezbollah and he was taking surbillance photograph to the
Speaker 6: Prudential building, Fenway Park, Saniel Hall. And that was a
Speaker 6: long time ago and that was on the news.
Speaker 2: I remember that article. I remember it did forgot the
Speaker 2: guy's name, but yeah, there's been some of that. But
Speaker 2: guess what I mean. Either you're going to live in
Speaker 2: fear and do nothing, or do what the president did,
Speaker 2: take a dramatic action and it may have paid off.
Speaker 6: Yes, you are right, and like I said, I'm for
Speaker 6: what President Trump did. But also remember this our grid,
Speaker 6: electric power, gas and water. That's our that's the American
Speaker 6: glass jaw, and it's very easy to hit those places,
Speaker 6: either by cyber attack or physically. I remember I work security,
Speaker 6: I've been doing it for over twenty five years and
Speaker 6: a lot of your substations are only protected by a
Speaker 6: chain link fence and a padlock and chain.
Speaker 2: Don't give people any ideas, by the boy, But I
Speaker 2: know exactly what you say, and I totally agree with you.
Speaker 2: I am as concerned as you are. And it doesn't
Speaker 2: take a lot. But the problem is is now up
Speaker 2: to the local authorities. It's up also to people. You know.
Speaker 2: There was a period of time. I'm gonna say this now,
Speaker 2: and I know I'll get in trouble for this one,
Speaker 2: but that's fine. There was a period of time, Jeff
Speaker 2: where we were all told if you see something, say something.
Speaker 2: You know, if all of a sudden you're in an
Speaker 2: MBTA station and you see an unattended bag, you know,
Speaker 2: pointed out to the authorities, have somebody go and check
Speaker 2: it out. Why is there another, you know, attended bags
Speaker 2: sitting there. But then they became a problem where if
Speaker 2: you saw something and you said something about someone who
Speaker 2: looked I don't know, different, Middle Eastern or whatever, whatever
Speaker 2: the character was characteristic, they were people who were offended.
Speaker 2: You know, I happen to be Middle East. I'm not
Speaker 2: Middle Eastern, but someone could be Middle Eastern and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I don't know, they're walking up and
Speaker 2: down and maybe someone says, oh this that guy was
Speaker 2: looking suspicious as he was, you know, walking up and down.
Speaker 2: And then you you had blowback there where we all said,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say anything is I don't want to
Speaker 2: be characterized as a bad person. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I know exactly what you're saying. Dan, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna wrap up the call with this. I worked at
Speaker 6: the airport pre nine to eleven internal e and Dan,
Speaker 6: I'm telling you something. The reason why I believe not
Speaker 6: eleven happened. Part of it was apathy. Another part is
Speaker 6: rapid hackism, particularly with Massport. How we current did articles on.
Speaker 2: This a favor. Okay, you don't have to spend talking
Speaker 2: about other programs. You know, your experience is more important
Speaker 2: to me. And again the whole question of I think
Speaker 2: it was more than apathy. And look, the FBI remember this.
Speaker 2: The FBI interviewed the Boston bamber brothers and they gave him.
Speaker 2: They interviewed him they had tips from from internal sources
Speaker 2: in Russia and they said, oh, they're fine. So I mean,
Speaker 2: our law enforcement has to be on top of things. Okay,
Speaker 2: And whether it's Homeland Security or whether it's the FBI
Speaker 2: or atf whatever, there were people in advance at nine
Speaker 2: to eleven. There was that FBI agent. She was a
Speaker 2: woman who was assigned to the Minneapolis office. She found
Speaker 2: out that some of the people who eventually were the
Speaker 2: nine to eleven suspects went and were getting instructions on
Speaker 2: how to fly airplanes. They didn't want to know how
Speaker 2: to take off, they didn't know how to want to land.
Speaker 2: They just want to know how do we fly a
Speaker 2: plane once we get it up of the air. And yeah,
Speaker 2: she tried to She tried to tell her the authorities
Speaker 2: and the FBI we got to be concerned about this,
Speaker 2: and no one listened to her. How many lives will
Speaker 2: we just strike? Sing here out? Thanks Jeff, appreciate your call.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Kill that way, rob Let's keep
Speaker 2: rolling here. I'm gonna go next to Tim and Wilburn. Tim,
Speaker 2: you're next on nightside.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, Tim, Hi d'An tell you take of my call.
Speaker 8: You're welcome.
Speaker 7: What I have to say about dog Trump, don't you?
Speaker 9: And Nut?
Speaker 7: Now those guys know what they're doing. That general from
Speaker 7: myrin's got to be stopped. Linder was stopped and took
Speaker 7: a little time. They know what they're doing the second
Speaker 7: they get nuclear bombed, and I saw them right it Israel, no,
Speaker 7: no question about it. They know what they're doing. Yeah, no,
Speaker 7: look he's gotta be stopped.
Speaker 2: Well I don't, I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't care what. I don't care what the people
Speaker 7: on the college is upset about. I could cares. These
Speaker 7: people know what they're doing.
Speaker 2: Well, they have. It's like Pavlov's dog. You know that
Speaker 2: they're gonna react. They're gonna bring out their Palestinian flags
Speaker 2: and uh, they're gonna put in their cadifa the head dress,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna march up and down because you know, again,
Speaker 2: the funny thing about it is if those people lived
Speaker 2: in Iran, those young college students, and they had any
Speaker 2: sort of a social life that was different than what
Speaker 2: the Moullahs would would demand, you know, they find themselves
Speaker 2: in jail, but they're they're they're very happy to demonstrate what,
Speaker 2: in effect is in favor of Iran or in favor
Speaker 2: of the people who want to destroy Israel. That's what
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
Speaker 7: That's yeah, what the heck would I ran right, you
Speaker 7: know that's so you know they're they're after us, and anyway,
Speaker 7: I think, you know, I don't know if the Nobel
Speaker 7: Peace buys a juggernaut. I don't know that you're bub
Speaker 7: But I think Benjamin NETANYAHUO and Donald Trump, I don't
Speaker 7: know if they're gonna end this thing or not. There's
Speaker 7: been too much bloodshed. I don't even gonna start tonight
Speaker 7: on tomorrow. But I think those guys. But what is
Speaker 7: done Benjamin Netanyahu, when he's done to Israel, what he's
Speaker 7: put up with Holy Machael.
Speaker 8: I agree a guy.
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of his leadership. That was a
Speaker 2: horrific situation. Obviously, the Israeli intelligence services for one of
Speaker 2: the few times, failed to pick that problem developing up.
Speaker 2: You know, the Masade and those intelligent services have a
Speaker 2: lot of infiltration, they have infiltrated into Iran. A lot
Speaker 2: of the work that they do is a result of
Speaker 2: of the on the ground intelligent intelligence, human assets as
Speaker 2: we say. So, yeah, I agree with you, Benjamin etne
Speaker 2: who has been a very effective Prime Minister of Israel,
Speaker 2: and that's what he's concerned about. He's he wants to
Speaker 2: make sure his his country isn't annihilated. I think that's
Speaker 2: a pretty reasonable concern in my opinion.
Speaker 7: I guess it is. I guess it is. Anyhow, the
Speaker 7: vault of them might they know what they're doing. I
Speaker 7: think the world of the two. I got a question
Speaker 7: fa you. You were talking about you at a Molo
Speaker 7: station the other night.
Speaker 2: Yes, with your car?
Speaker 7: You have a Volvo?
Speaker 5: Yes, I do, all right.
Speaker 7: I think when I met you at the place in Westwoods,
Speaker 7: I think I saw you get out of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a Toyota. I have a Toyota. It's
Speaker 7: a two thousand. It's twenty five years old. It's wow.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 2: The but the you got your money's worth there, Tim,
Speaker 2: let me tell you got your money's worth their twenty
Speaker 2: five year old car.
Speaker 7: It's mint. It's mint. It's got one hundred and sixty
Speaker 7: thousand miles on. I changed you oil in the filter
Speaker 7: every seven thousand with a synthetic oil. My mechanics said,
Speaker 7: it's the more out of the cow the oil in
Speaker 7: the filter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, And I learned that lesson
Speaker 2: on Sunday night, Tim, So I will never find myself
Speaker 2: in that situation again, Tim, I got to get one
Speaker 2: more in here before the break, buddy, Thanks for your call.
Speaker 2: As always, we'll talk to you.
Speaker 7: Got the best show. You got the best show on
Speaker 7: the ear from the beginning of time.
Speaker 2: Thanks man, I appreciate it. You know that. Thank you

Speaker 9: and they're just saving face. They're gonna they're going to decide,
Speaker 9: knows how to fight, and he knows the immaturity of
Speaker 9: the Middle East. They're so I don't know, they're they're
Speaker 9: so they got to be you know, they can't lose face.
Speaker 9: So I knew that was that was That's what that
Speaker 9: was I told my daughter says, you go to see
Speaker 9: a peace treaty in a near, very near future.
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's go, Dave. There's no sense of taking
Speaker 2: a victory lap until the pen is on the paper.
Speaker 9: Okay, I know I got every confidence in Donald As.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you do. I'm sure you do what I'm
Speaker 2: just I am always someone who will say to you, uh,
Speaker 2: it's it's better to be a little cautious here because
Speaker 2: you're dealing It isn't just Donald Trump. You're dealing with
Speaker 2: the folks in Iran who have been have a long history.
Speaker 2: I'm hopeful, but let's see. Let's see when when the
Speaker 2: ink drives in the paper. David As always appreciate you calling,
Speaker 2: my friend.
Speaker 9: We got what we got to pray for is the
Speaker 9: people I ran decide the.
Speaker 2: Way I would join you in that prayer. I would
Speaker 2: join you in that prayer. Thank you, my friend. Thanks Dave. Okay,
Speaker 2: have a great night. I would take a quick break
Speaker 2: couple of lines one at six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four ten thirty and one at six one seven, nine
Speaker 2: three one ten thirty. Try to move folks a little
Speaker 2: bit more quickly so I get to some more callers
Speaker 2: coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: All right, back to the phonems we go. Let's go
Speaker 2: to Ken in Waltham. Ken, you were next on Nightside.
Speaker 8: Welcome, Hey, Dan, Hey, I'm one of those mega anti
Speaker 8: trumpsters who is going to share your Tasha's optimism that
Speaker 8: this is the right move.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, there's nothing wrong with if a president
Speaker 2: does something that actually not only is good for the
Speaker 2: United States, but maybe good for the Middle East and
Speaker 2: may even be good for world peace. I mean, I
Speaker 2: don't see it downside. I will be be I don't
Speaker 2: want to give him all the credit in the world
Speaker 2: for for bringing this thing to a conclusion. Let's you know,
Speaker 2: and he said it's going to start at midnight. Let's see.
Speaker 8: Well you read his post or you know, they completely
Speaker 8: and totally obliterated, right. And then when General McCain was
Speaker 8: interviewed or asked, you know, he said, well, we have
Speaker 8: to do a you know, battle damage assessment.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Did you hear mysel in the world joice if this
Speaker 8: really is person?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Did you hear my sound bite from Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 2: She used She used the same word in two thousand
Speaker 2: and eight threatening obliteration.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and well one major you know, I think the
Speaker 8: Democrats are doing the wrong sort of the exact wrong thing,
Speaker 8: say as Dave from San Antonio, right, which you know
Speaker 8: he's totally pro trun you know, I think maybe taking
Speaker 8: too much credit too fast.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but when I heard a.
Speaker 8: Democrat today say, well, you know Trump, because Trump said
Speaker 8: he was going to take two weeks and he didn't.
Speaker 8: That Trump lied to the American people. Well, like he's
Speaker 8: supposed to give away his strategy. I mean, if Trump
Speaker 8: said the two weeks, I mean he hadn't. I thought
Speaker 8: for sure, given Trump's behavior, I thought for sure he
Speaker 8: was going to wait two weeks because he's been dinning
Speaker 8: with every country, right, every country I think has stood
Speaker 8: up to Trump, from Canada to Russia, to Greenland to Ukraine.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Right, And I was particularly after listening to your analysts
Speaker 8: last week who was saying that Israel's really in trouble
Speaker 8: because they just don't have the assets if Iran keeps
Speaker 8: hitting them.
Speaker 2: That Kada, by the way, was interesting. I had a
Speaker 2: couple of emails over the weekend which bothered me, and
Speaker 2: they were individuals who obviously, like I am, pretty pro Israel.
Speaker 2: How could you have on someone who views the world
Speaker 2: a little differently than we do or whatever, And it
Speaker 2: was like, have the guts to call the show. You're
Speaker 2: going to send me a nasty email because I had
Speaker 2: a guest on that you disagreed with. Call the show
Speaker 2: and make the points on the air, you know, I.
Speaker 8: Mean because because of the things he was saying, and
Speaker 8: because I really think Trump's been getting pushed around by
Speaker 8: other countries. I'm like saying the prayer, you know, Trump,
Speaker 8: please stand with Israel, show something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, yeah, you know, and then you.
Speaker 8: Know, be careful what you pray for, you know. Saturday,
Speaker 8: I'm like, holy you know.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And well the other
Speaker 2: thing too is that tatsu actually on Sunday sent out
Speaker 2: an email. He was the first person who showed the
Speaker 2: trucks lined up a few days ago out outside of
Speaker 2: four Dough, in which there's some speculation that some of
Speaker 2: the plutonium had been removed as supposedly I guess nine hundred.
Speaker 8: Killers from the those three sites.
Speaker 2: Well there was from one site, four Dough the name, yeah,
Speaker 2: the big site. But the point is that, you know,
Speaker 2: Tatsuo and I disagree, and we did disagree on the air,
Speaker 2: and we disagreed about Benjamin Netieau. And yet these these
Speaker 2: brave you know, keyboard emailers, they don't have the courage
Speaker 2: to call the show and uh and discuss it with
Speaker 2: Tatsu or whoever. I try to bring guests on from
Speaker 2: a different points of view. Uh. Just because they're a
Speaker 2: guest on my show doesn't mean that I think that
Speaker 2: they're the the oracle of Delphi. I mean I want
Speaker 2: different points of view on the show, including yours. So
Speaker 2: I agree with you, and I share your hope that
Speaker 2: this is something that that is going to become a
Speaker 2: real later on tonight it ceas.
Speaker 8: Five and I hope, I hope Channa's watching. Well, I
Speaker 8: know they're watching.
Speaker 2: Well, that would be another that would be another benefit
Speaker 2: from it. You know, hey, oh I I always say
Speaker 2: I'm rooty for the success of the United States of America,
Speaker 2: whether it's Joe Biden or Donald Trump or Barack Obama
Speaker 2: or George Bush or or whomever. Simple as that can.
Speaker 2: I want to get one more in here before the
Speaker 2: blank is going to let you run. I so appreciate you.
Speaker 2: I appreciate your thoughtfulness. You and I tend to disagree
Speaker 2: on a lot of things, but you're a gentleman and
Speaker 2: you bring good points to the table to my show,
Speaker 2: and I can't thank you enough for that. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Dan, You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Let me go to Wayne and Saugus. Wayne, you were
Speaker 2: next on night, say, I gotta wrap the hour force.
Speaker 10: Go right ahead, Wayne, Hey, Dann how you doing.
Speaker 2: I'm doing fine, do it fine? Watching very caiously, first
Speaker 2: time calling. Well, thank you for a digital studio audience.
Speaker 10: Go right ahead, You've got a great show.
Speaker 2: Let me thank you.
Speaker 10: I think that dog Dad, I appreciate.
Speaker 2: Are you and are you in Wayne? Are you in
Speaker 2: a car? You're breaking up on us a little bit?
Speaker 5: Here?
Speaker 2: Are you in a car? And no?
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, okay, well.
Speaker 2: Let's yeah again. That's no, that's fine. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: you go right ahead. I'm just trying to pay attention.
Speaker 10: Had some back and he really put his money outwards,
Speaker 10: you know he really did.
Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
Speaker 10: But this one I'm more than certain that to descend etages.
Speaker 10: It's finally felt that sure. Yes, but a good night.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Wayne. Next time you call, we'll
Speaker 2: have a better connection, So I'll look forward to your
Speaker 2: second call better. But I think I got the drift
Speaker 2: of what you had to say, and I think you're right.
Speaker 2: It's been a long time since nineteen seventy nine and
Speaker 2: all the US hostages who were held for four hundred
Speaker 2: and forty four days. Iran has been a nemesis of
Speaker 2: this country and a nemesis of freedom in the Middle
Speaker 2: East for almost five decades. And maybe there will be
Speaker 2: a change in leadership in that government. Won't be easy,
Speaker 2: that's for sure. All right, we're coming up here on
Speaker 2: the eleven o'clock newscast. If you're on the line, you're
Speaker 2: going to be pretty close to the top. I got
Speaker 2: some open lines, by the way, ladies, when we talked
Speaker 2: about this on whenever we talk about war and peace.
Speaker 2: For some reason, my women callers, who are strong callers,
Speaker 2: choose not to participate. I hope that all of you
Speaker 2: feel free to join this conversation tonight, because all points
Speaker 2: of view are more than welcome. I have lines at
Speaker 2: six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty and at
Speaker 2: six one, seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. Coming right
Speaker 2: back on night Side.
