WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.839 He's night side with Dan Ray on WBZ Foston's radio. 2 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:12.519 All Right, we have had a pretty interesting seventy two 3 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.519 or so hours since we last were together on Friday night. 4 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.600 Most of us when we left on Friday night were 5 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:26.199 counting the days down to when President Trump was going 6 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:31.039 to finish two weeks of contemplation. He had said it 7 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.560 would take two weeks for him to figure out exactly what. 8 00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:36.159 Up to two weeks, he said, Up to two weeks. 9 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.560 That would have taken us to about the fourth of July, 10 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:48.880 interestingly enough, and then Saturday night word broke that there 11 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:55.759 had been an attack by US military Air Force against 12 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:02.920 these three installations in Iran, and the President spoke on 13 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.359 about ten o'clock. So just to refresh your recollection, let's 14 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:08.400 go to cut one. 15 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:17.200 A please robe that these strikes were a spectacular military success. 16 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.680 Iran's key nuclear and Richmond facilities have been completely and 17 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:26.560 totally obliterated around the bully of the Middle East must 18 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.120 now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would 19 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.599 be far greater and a lot easier. 20 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:38.000 The President went on in his speech. This is a 21 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.280 second cut from the speech. Cut number two. Please rob. 22 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.599 For forty years, Iran has been saying death to America, 23 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.840 death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing 24 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.359 off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs, 25 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.319 that was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people, 26 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.560 and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around 27 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.400 the world have died as a direct result of their hate. 28 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:09.360 In particular, so many were killed by their general Cassem Soleimani. 29 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.240 I decided a long time ago that I would not. 30 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.639 Let this happen. It will not continue. 31 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.879 I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister, bb NET 32 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.319 and Yahoo. We worked as a team like perhaps no 33 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.000 team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long 34 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.719 way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. 35 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.879 So there were a lot of questions over the weekend 36 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:44.479 as to how much damage those bunker busting bombs were 37 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:50.319 able to do to these facilities, the three facilities, which 38 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.240 well two of them were hit by bunker busting bombs 39 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.479 and the third was hit by a lot of missiles 40 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:05.599 from the US submarine. And over the weekend, I've seen 41 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.879 the pattern before that Donald Trump said things were obliterated, 42 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:15.439 and particularly on CNN, there was a lot of skepticism. Now, 43 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.840 Democrats seem to forget that it wasn't too long ago 44 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:26.159 that there was a Democratic presidential candidate who you might remember, 45 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.919 Hillary Clinton. But back in two thousand and eight, this 46 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.319 is what Hillary Clinton had to say about attacking Iran. 47 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.240 Cut one to oh three, rob. 48 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.479 And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm 49 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.319 the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development 50 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.879 they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the 51 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.240 next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching 52 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.960 an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally 53 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.960 obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say that Those 54 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.319 people who run around need to understand that, because that 55 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:07.400 perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish, 56 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:07.960 and tragic. 57 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.680 That was the same same verb that President Trump used, 58 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:23.480 what's seventeen years later, obliterate. Well, anyway, today Iran did 59 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.839 fire some missiles at a US airbase, a US base 60 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:37.519 in the Middle East. Apparently the Iranians fired fourteen missiles 61 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.920 I believe it was the number, and only one got through. 62 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:48.000 No one was injured. And now President Trump has released 63 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.600 this statement. I hope it's true. It's let me read 64 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.040 it to you. This president released this about six oh 65 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.399 two this evening as the Yes six oh two June 66 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.639 twenty third, congratulations to everyone. It has been fully agreed 67 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.120 by and between Israel and Iran that there will be 68 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:14.639 a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now, well, 69 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.720 that would be midnight our time, when Israel and Iran 70 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.439 have wound out and completed their in progress final missions 71 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.680 for twelve hours, at which point the war will be 72 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:30.480 considered officially ended. Iran will start the ceasefire, and upon 73 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.920 the twelfth hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and upon 74 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.439 the twentieth twenty fourth hour, an official end to the 75 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:39.759 twelve day war will be saluted by the world. Now 76 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.399 this is sort of interesting because I think what he's saying, 77 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.560 it's a little unclear, is that at midnight tonight Iran 78 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.639 will stand down, and during that time I guess Israel 79 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.360 will have an opportunity to attack Iran if I'm reading 80 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:05.519 this correctly, and then at noon tomorrow Israel will stop. 81 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:12.279 So Iran stops at midnight, Israel has twelve hours and 82 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:19.800 I guess again a little confusing here because he then 83 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.680 goes on to say during each cease fire on the 84 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.800 other side will remain peaceful and respectful on the assumption 85 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.560 that everything works as it should, which it will. I 86 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.279 would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on 87 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.800 having the stamina, courage, and intelligence to end what should 88 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.120 be called the twelve day War. Israel was involved in 89 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.279 a six day war many years ago. This is a 90 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.519 war that could have gone on for years and destroyed 91 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.600 the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will. 92 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.839 God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, 93 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.279 God bless the United States of America, and God bless 94 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.360 the world. Donald J. Trump, President of the United States 95 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.759 of America. Now it's a little unclear to me here, 96 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:03.399 but it said that Iran we'll start the cease fire, 97 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:09.360 and upon the twelfth hour, Israel will start the cease fire. 98 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.600 So I could construe that to say Israel will have 99 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.600 twelve hours from midnight to noon to do what they 100 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.160 would like to try to do. I don't it's a 101 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.360 little unclear to me. It's a little unclear to me. Officially, 102 00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.519 Iran will start the cease fire again, he said, approximately 103 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.279 six hours, which would be midnight our time here in 104 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.160 the East coast. So we'll have to see how it 105 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.600 works out. My questions then are pretty simple and pretty straightforward. 106 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:48.279 What was your reaction when you heard on Saturday night 107 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:52.600 or Sunday morning, if you were out partying on Saturday night, 108 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:57.720 what was your reaction to the unilateral action that the 109 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.879 US took. You're a lot of Democrat today who went 110 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:07.959 after Donald Trump. If if the president is right, and 111 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.399 I will try to during my break here at double 112 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:17.079 check with some additional uh information as to whether or 113 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.399 not I have read that correctly, uh and if there 114 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.519 are any late developments uh. And I know some of 115 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.920 you will be watching for me let me know. So 116 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.360 we're going to talk about it for two hours. Maybe 117 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:36.240 maybe Donald Trump did the right thing here, big gamble. 118 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.320 If one of those planes ever had been shot down 119 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:42.840 or crashed, imagine what the response would have been. So 120 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.679 six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, 121 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.919 ten thirty. I'm wondering if there are any people who 122 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:57.399 are out there, you know, certainly not our Democratic elected 123 00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.840 leaders in Massachusetts, but if there are any people out 124 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.840 there who particularly don't like Donald Trump, but are willing 125 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:08.279 to say, hey, this gamble might have worked, or even 126 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.759 might say whether this gamble works or not. He did 127 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.399 the right thing. I talked to a friend on Saturday 128 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.000 night and I said he was concerned that this might 129 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.360 initiate a nuclear war. I said, on the contrary, my opinion, 130 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:28.960 this takes and prevents another player from walking on to 131 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.320 the nuclear states. There are nine countries around the world 132 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.399 that have some level of nuclear weapons. We can go 133 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.480 through all of that anyway. Six one, seven, two, five, four, 134 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.720 ten thirty or six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. 135 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.559 This is a huge story. This if if he'll never 136 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.480 win the Nobel Peace Prize, but if this were to 137 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.720 lead to peace in the Middle East, I don't know 138 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.320 how how the people who present the Nobel Peace Prize 139 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.840 would ever be able to handle this. We'll be back 140 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.960 on Night's side. Let's get the conversation going. Coming right back. 141 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.440 Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z, Boston's 142 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:08.360 news radio. 143 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:14.399 Well, just checking there. It has been again no indication 144 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:19.159 that the problems have developed. There has been some suggestion. 145 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.720 I'm reading from a New York Times article here, which 146 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:27.399 just has cleared the wire twenty three wires. Twenty three 147 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:34.120 minutes ago, a group of New York Times reporters Finares Fasihi, 148 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:41.600 Jonathan Swan, Ronan Bergman, Aaron Boxerman, and Adam Rasband. President 149 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.879 trust Trump said on social media Monday that Israel and 150 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:50.399 Iran had agreed on a ceasefire. Hours later, Aroun's Foreign 151 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:55.159 Minister of US Are Geeche suggested a cease fire was possible, 152 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.240 but said there was no agreement as of now. He 153 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.440 had around, would be willing to lay down arms if 154 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.200 Israel star and illegal it's illegal aggression against the Iranian people. 155 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.639 By four am in Tehran. I think it's four am 156 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.960 in Tehran at this point. Actually it's probably after four am. 157 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.559 It's probably I'm guessing here, it's probably six am. And 158 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.919 Israeli military spokesman declined to comment, and as that deadline approach, 159 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.639 Israel was continuing to strike Iran with missiles in one 160 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.679 of the most intense barages of the war. Mister Trump's 161 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:27.519 assertion came hours after Iran launched missiles at l Udan 162 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.559 Airbase and Cutter, the largest American military installation in the 163 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.159 Middle East, retaliating for US strikes on Irani and nuclear sites, 164 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.799 though giving fore warning to limit the damage. Vice President 165 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.240 jad E Vance said soon after that mister Trump's post 166 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.720 that the war appeared to be effectively over and there 167 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:49.000 was now an opportunity to restart real peace process. Mister 168 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:55.000 Trump's language was characteristically less cautious. It has been fully 169 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.639 agreed by in between Israel and Iran that there will 170 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.759 be a complete and total ceasefire, the president rode in 171 00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.000 social media. I read that to you as well. Three Democrats, 172 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.519 three diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy, 173 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.600 said that top Katari officials had intervened in behalf of 174 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.120 the Trump administration and persuaded around to agree to an 175 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:18.519 American CEI's fire proposal after being told Israel had signed on. 176 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:24.159 So we'll see. The proof will be when this time passes. 177 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.399 Let's go next to Jack is a Newton. Jack is 178 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.240 going to start us off. Jack is no fan of 179 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.639 Donald Trump. There's no question about that. Hey Jack, how 180 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.000 are you? 181 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:36.080 Yeah? Jack Porter from Newton. Well, I think it took 182 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.120 everybody by surprise, but maybe that was part of his rules, 183 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:45.480 to fool people and not you know they I'll tell 184 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:47.480 people what he was going to do. It's kind of 185 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.879 interesting that both the left, or at least the moderate 186 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.399 left on the right, unlike Guyza, have been united on 187 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.600 this except for you know, Elizabeth Warren and saying that 188 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.159 you know, they had to bound and then we have 189 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:02.080 to destroy that. 190 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.919 Well you would you, Jack, You you wouldn't put Elizabeth 191 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.240 Warren as as a member of the moderate left anyway. 192 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.240 I mean said the left and the right, not the 193 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.080 extreme left. Elizabeth Warren is not not the moderate left 194 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.559 just another word for liberals. 195 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.080 I mean, I think that your Congressman Cha Claus has 196 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.279 been been very good on this issue recently, and I 197 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:29.039 think I saw a statement from him today. Uh. I 198 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.320 didn't perceive that that statement was particularly critical of the 199 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:35.080 action that was taken, if I if I heard it 200 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:36.399 correctly in its entirety. 201 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.559 Well, that's what I'm saying, is just an issue that 202 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:44.080 unlike Gaza, it seems like the left and the right, Uh, 203 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.879 I agree that it is not to be done. And 204 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.440 then now we moved Thomas. 205 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.799 Then so what what is your what what do you 206 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:57.480 think that? I mean? You know, maybe Iran feels at 207 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.960 this point that all of the proxies have been eliminated 208 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:06.039 or or diminished. Uh. They obviously know better than most 209 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:15.600 what damage was inflicted on Saturday. You know, Saturday, Saturday night. 210 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.799 I'm looking at this as maybe maybe they're they're hurting 211 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.360 right now. 212 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.240 Well, I think the the leadership is worried that this 213 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.639 could destabilize the country and and lead to the overthrow 214 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.360 of the moms and bring it back to what we 215 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.159 we had hope for it to kind of a more 216 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:42.320 secular ran The people don't want ther moms, they don't 217 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:47.519 want harmonies, So maybe this was a way to to 218 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:52.480 stop that possibility. But Trump is smart not to uh, 219 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.679 to have gone over a regime change, not to support 220 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:58.399 a regime change, and he hopes that that will happen 221 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.320 naturally or unnaturally by itself, which I think it could. 222 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.200 Yeah, we haven't had much luck. I mean when the 223 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.200 when the Obama administration took Kadaffi out, remember was it 224 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.720 Hillary Clinton? You know, we came, we saw he died. Uh, 225 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.440 you know that didn't work out great, and uh, certainly 226 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.639 Iraq didn't work out great. So maybe ironically Donald Trump 227 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.120 has has done what had to be done here and 228 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.440 got the message across that that we're serious and that 229 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.240 they're not going to get a nuclear weapon, which I 230 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:36.240 think is actually a positive result for the world. We 231 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.000 don't need more countries with nuclear weapons. We get nine 232 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.519 of them already that have nuclear weapons. 233 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.960 He might he might win the Nodill Price. The Nobel 234 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.600 Prize has gone to people who were the most peaceful 235 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.639 well whatever, like a thought and being, and Para's got it. 236 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.000 So it's uh, it's quite possible he might get the 237 00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:57.759 Noldill Price. 238 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.720 Yeah. Well, I don't think Arafat every should have received 239 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.200 the Nobel Peace Prize. Uh. And but I think that 240 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.639 shows more of a bias towards towards the West, uh 241 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.360 and towards Israel. I think that's evidence evidence of I 242 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.799 would perceive that as anti Semitism. On behalf of the 243 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.080 folks who give out the Nobel Peace Prize, Yes, sir 244 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.000 era fact, no Nobel Peace Prize. How many people did 245 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.159 he personally killed? The people? 246 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.360 I've been nominated for the Nobel Piece Prize. 247 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.399 Everybody can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I could. 248 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.000 I would have nominated you, Jack, if you had nominated me. 249 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.120 It's a joke in many respects. 250 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.399 I nominate you for some for the one hundred and 251 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.200 fifty most notable Bostonians from Boston Bagusan nominated. 252 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.080 Well, thank you, Jack, that's very very appreciative. But but 253 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:50.960 you won't see that. 254 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.039 Nominate you for a Peace Prize and you'll. 255 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:55.919 You got it. 256 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.639 Yeah, like people that you will get nominated, and it's 257 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.720 very litical. I don't know for both, you know, either 258 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:03.639 of us will get it going. 259 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.920 No, no, no, that's like the people pay one hundred dollars 260 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.079 or whatever it is, or one thousand dollars to have 261 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:13.240 your name on the on a presidential ballot in New Hampshire, 262 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.160 so when your obituary is written, they can always say, 263 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.960 you know, Joe Smith candidate for president in twenty twenty 264 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.519 or in twenty sixty or whatever. That's that's that's a 265 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.960 scam that that New Hampshire has been running on people 266 00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:29.799 for a long time. You get eleven votes and you rent, 267 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.519 you can say legitimately you rent for president. Hey, Jack, 268 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:35.359 thank you much. I got the news. I gotta get 269 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.759 to thanks buddy for starting us off. I appreciate it 270 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.599 all right. I will remind you we have two phone 271 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.720 numbers here at WBZ. Not only can you call the 272 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:47.039 number that Jack just vacated six one, seven, two, five, four, 273 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.240 ten thirty, but there's also six one, seven, nine, three, 274 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.599 one ten thirty. We got open lines here. I kind 275 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.519 of imagine my audience is not interested in weighing in 276 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:01.599 on this Donald Trump. The Democrats are all upset. Some 277 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:03.759 of the Democrats are all upset with them. Is this 278 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.039 an impeachable offense? No, I don't think so. I don't 279 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:12.960 think so. President Obama and other presidents before him, including 280 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:17.519 I believe President Biden actually has also done the things. 281 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.319 Who were they going to? Who did they want Congress 282 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.680 to be made aware of this? Did they want to 283 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:30.720 tell elon Oma or AOC that we were sending stealth 284 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.200 bombers to Iran? I don't think that would have been 285 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.680 a good idea. We'd be back on Night's side. Join 286 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.400 the conversation six months seven two, five, four to ten thirty. 287 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:41.680 Six month seven nine three, ten thirty. 288 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.880 You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's 289 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.559 news radio. 290 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.200 All right, we're talking about the activity of the weekend. 291 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.319 We're going to go next to Jeff Is in Chelsea. Jeff, 292 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.279 your thoughts on what transpired over the weekend and what 293 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.400 appears to be transpiring tonight. 294 00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:05.400 Oh, thanks you very much, Dan, Well, Dan, I am 295 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.559 definitely for what Trump did. Ireanne cannot have a nuclear weapon, 296 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.880 so this had to be done. But my main concern 297 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:16.920 is the blowback, the retaliation by Iran in particular, but 298 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.960 also communists and other Muslim countries with the sleeper cells 299 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.119 that are already inside this country, and what could happen 300 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:33.160 down the road attacks on the homeland. For instance, a 301 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.359 long time ago, there was an article, there was a 302 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:39.200 news story about this guy named Alexi sub who was 303 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.559 with Hezbollah and he was taking surbillance photograph to the 304 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:47.160 Prudential building, Fenway Park, Saniel Hall. And that was a 305 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:49.400 long time ago and that was on the news. 306 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.680 I remember that article. I remember it did forgot the 307 00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:56.160 guy's name, but yeah, there's been some of that. But 308 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:58.440 guess what I mean. Either you're going to live in 309 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:02.200 fear and do nothing, or do what the president did, 310 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:05.519 take a dramatic action and it may have paid off. 311 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.720 Yes, you are right, and like I said, I'm for 312 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:15.880 what President Trump did. But also remember this our grid, 313 00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:21.960 electric power, gas and water. That's our that's the American 314 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.559 glass jaw, and it's very easy to hit those places, 315 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.920 either by cyber attack or physically. I remember I work security, 316 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.599 I've been doing it for over twenty five years and 317 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.480 a lot of your substations are only protected by a 318 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:45.079 chain link fence and a padlock and chain. 319 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.400 Don't give people any ideas, by the boy, But I 320 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.119 know exactly what you say, and I totally agree with you. 321 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.119 I am as concerned as you are. And it doesn't 322 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.720 take a lot. But the problem is is now up 323 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:04.079 to the local authorities. It's up also to people. You know. 324 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.680 There was a period of time. I'm gonna say this now, 325 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.400 and I know I'll get in trouble for this one, 326 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.160 but that's fine. There was a period of time, Jeff 327 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.200 where we were all told if you see something, say something. 328 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.119 You know, if all of a sudden you're in an 329 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:22.759 MBTA station and you see an unattended bag, you know, 330 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.440 pointed out to the authorities, have somebody go and check 331 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.920 it out. Why is there another, you know, attended bags 332 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.559 sitting there. But then they became a problem where if 333 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:34.799 you saw something and you said something about someone who 334 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.039 looked I don't know, different, Middle Eastern or whatever, whatever 335 00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.680 the character was characteristic, they were people who were offended. 336 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:44.759 You know, I happen to be Middle East. I'm not 337 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.039 Middle Eastern, but someone could be Middle Eastern and all 338 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.400 of a sudden, I don't know, they're walking up and 339 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.519 down and maybe someone says, oh this that guy was 340 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.039 looking suspicious as he was, you know, walking up and down. 341 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.559 And then you you had blowback there where we all said, 342 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:01.519 I'm not gonna say anything is I don't want to 343 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:04.640 be characterized as a bad person. You know what I'm saying. 344 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:07.759 Oh no, I know exactly what you're saying. Dan, I'm 345 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.279 gonna wrap up the call with this. I worked at 346 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:14.519 the airport pre nine to eleven internal e and Dan, 347 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.960 I'm telling you something. The reason why I believe not 348 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.920 eleven happened. Part of it was apathy. Another part is 349 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:27.240 rapid hackism, particularly with Massport. How we current did articles on. 350 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:31.720 This a favor. Okay, you don't have to spend talking 351 00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:35.680 about other programs. You know, your experience is more important 352 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:38.759 to me. And again the whole question of I think 353 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.319 it was more than apathy. And look, the FBI remember this. 354 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.319 The FBI interviewed the Boston bamber brothers and they gave him. 355 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:53.119 They interviewed him they had tips from from internal sources 356 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.559 in Russia and they said, oh, they're fine. So I mean, 357 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:01.240 our law enforcement has to be on top of things. Okay, 358 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.640 And whether it's Homeland Security or whether it's the FBI 359 00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:11.359 or atf whatever, there were people in advance at nine 360 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:13.599 to eleven. There was that FBI agent. She was a 361 00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:17.079 woman who was assigned to the Minneapolis office.
