WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.919 It's nice, Boss Radio. 2 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:09.279 Jason. We ran up against the clock. My guess is 3 00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:12.320 Jason Greenberg, and I am not going to hold him 4 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.279 into this hour. I just want to give you, Jason, 5 00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.640 an opportunity to wrap up your remarks. Those two, those 6 00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.719 two collegs, just blew me away. I mean, in terms 7 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.879 of irrational people. I mean, I'm sure they're good people, 8 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.800 but they just see the world really differently. How do 9 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.960 you deal with someone like that who wants to deny 10 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.840 reality or to rationalize reality. 11 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.679 Well, I BELI you know it's I've been dealing with 12 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:42.079 it a lot for the past year, most relevantly, and 13 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.520 I think all one can do is to approach it, 14 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.960 not from emotion, but try to reason with people and 15 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:55.840 try to reach a shared understanding first and try to 16 00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.960 work from there. I think achieving that you know, that 17 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.880 first step of the understanding is probably the most difficult 18 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.879 part of it. And and I understand there's a lot 19 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.719 of pain on all sides as as concerns this conflict, 20 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.319 but I think that you know, some some key facts 21 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:20.400 have been obfuscated or misconstrued and are being touted as 22 00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:24.719 as the truth with regard to what happened on October 23 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:30.000 seven first, and how it's rares responded. Second, you know, 24 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.159 I think that we're looking at a war without a 25 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:38.840 historical precedent, and I can't find a real corollary where 26 00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:44.480 one where one country is fighting against a group that 27 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:52.200 uses the population to shield itself and hides amongst the population, 28 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.000 and that's where you have to fight against. It's not 29 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.120 like we're not like Israe's fighting a country or a military. 30 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.040 They're they're in an organized terrorist group. 31 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:04.519 And if. 32 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.120 You know, for people like me, I have direct eyes 33 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:15.159 to it, you know, I've suffered loss and so many others. 34 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.919 And that's a point that's I think really important to 35 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.080 make is that you know, the circles that have been 36 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:26.039 affected by this are thousands and thousands, twelve, thirteen and 37 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.479 fifty or so people being killed as a results of 38 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.919 the October seventh attacks. There are so many others who 39 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.199 do have to deal with this just as it is 40 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:42.840 on the other side. But it is it's just a 41 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.759 tough situation. But the same thing is true today as 42 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:53.000 October eighth. The war in Gaza would end pretty swiftly 43 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.240 if the hostages got released, Israel wouldn't really had too 44 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.879 much reason left wouldn't be able to stand that many 45 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.560 that much more justification to keep going after Hamas if 46 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.039 they let go of the hostages. And what that says 47 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:11.280 to me is that Hamas doesn't care about the Palestinian people. 48 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:11.960 People. 49 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.159 Let your callers care more about the Palestinian people than 50 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:20.000 Famas ever will they only see them as instruments, as tools, as. 51 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:22.280 Useful idiots. 52 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.000 And that's a real tragedy, is that people are dying, 53 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.319 and I don't know how many more people, how many 54 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.080 more Palestinians need to die before those fathers and mothers 55 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.439 and sons and daughters who have lost their families stand 56 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:37.840 up and say no more. 57 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:38.680 We won't be. 58 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.400 We won't be used by you, we won't be a 59 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.800 party to terror, that we won't be caught in the 60 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.599 middle of this every time. 61 00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:53.520 But I think, I think that in defense of the 62 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.719 Palestinian people, they're being held captive by people who have 63 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.520 some pretty heavy duty military weapons. I don't know that 64 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.479 I would have the courage as a Palestinian in Hamas 65 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.919 or rather in Gaza, to stand up and say, hey, 66 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.000 you guys got to get out of here. I mean, 67 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.000 they got elected and I think it was two thousand 68 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.839 and six. They haven't had an election since they are 69 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.600 ruined by the point of a gun. The only people 70 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.079 that's going to take Hamas out is the IDF, and 71 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.040 that will eventually free the Palestinian people. I'm looking at 72 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.120 adjust a little bit differently. I don't I don't expect 73 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.519 the Palestinian people to stand up, but I do expect 74 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.639 the Palestinian people to understand that what the IDEF is 75 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.800 doing here is totally necessary, not only to keep the 76 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.800 State of Israel alive and functioning, but also also to 77 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.399 ultimately free the Palestinians of this terrorist group that is 78 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.839 using them as human human shields. 79 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.879 Sure, I actually you know I wanted to if you 80 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.800 don't mind just one comming on one other things, and 81 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.800 it actually relates to something you discussing a couple of 82 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.879 weeks ago, and that was, well, what if you show 83 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.800 everybody the horrific footage from that day? What if I 84 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.079 show the show the pictures that I'm privy to would 85 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.839 that Would that change people's minds? And you know, when 86 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.319 when I think that callers like who came or who 87 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.480 we spoke to this evening, uh, you know, they represent 88 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.879 a large group of people who believe certain things, and honestly, 89 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.879 I don't think it would make much difference. Maybe it did, 90 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.000 maybe it would have, you know, sixty seventy years ago, 91 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.680 I don't believe so today. I think that, you know, 92 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.959 and I don't mean to overgeneralize, but in a generation 93 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.519 where you know, first person shooter games or you know, 94 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.600 the most played video games in the world, seeing gruesome 95 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.680 and gruciam death is not People are dissensitized to that already, 96 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:50.959 and I think it would only spark more conspiracy conspiracy theories, 97 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.560 which would only serve to muddy the waters in terms 98 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.759 of what actually did happen and take the focus off 99 00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.240 of what happened. But you know, again, for all those 100 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:04.360 people who are crying what Israel is doing, it does 101 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.399 confound me to think, where is it? Where in the calculus? 102 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.040 Here is the fact that Tomas is still holding these hostages. 103 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.160 My cousin is one of these hostages, you know. And 104 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.879 if they let the hostages go, they made they made 105 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.959 that point. Okay, they were able to penetrate, they were 106 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.000 able to take captives. They sent a message if they 107 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:29.720 let them go, this will end very fast. That is 108 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.639 that's I don't please argue with that in the next hour. 109 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.040 Anybody tell me how that's not going to be true. 110 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.680 Israel has taken. 111 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.399 Jason Miley response to that is, let's assume the hostage 112 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.839 they released all the hostages tomorrow, which would be wonderful, Okay, 113 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.240 And let's assume that all the hostages that we believe 114 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.199 are still alive are still alive. And I'm not sure 115 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.480 that's true, but let's just let's assume they're all alive. 116 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.160 The numbers who who were taking and not being accounted for, 117 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.720 don't you think Amas, if if Israel back off now, 118 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.959 Hamas will do it again, Hespala would do it again. 119 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.959 This this is I think this is a moment in 120 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:14.839 time when Israel has the ability to to really maybe 121 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.439 put these people out of their misery. I mean when 122 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.160 I say that has Belah, Hamas and maybe even Iran, 123 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.879 I mean you know today they were they were cautioning 124 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:33.600 net and Yahoo not to go after Iran. Look, is 125 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.839 it better to go after Iran now before they have 126 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.120 a nuclear bomb? But then do we wait until they 127 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.240 get a nuclear bomb and then then beg them not 128 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:42.759 to use it? 129 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.160 Well, obviously we don't want that, but I think that 130 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.560 you know, if anybody questions, well, why did you take 131 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.519 out a bunch of a couple of thousand psible UH operators, 132 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.240 their pagers and their walkie talkies, and why have we 133 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.879 done this? You know what? What is Israel really trying 134 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.319 to do? If you ask me, You're trying to force 135 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.000 Iran into a point where it has to do something 136 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.040 overtly on its own because its vassals are no longer 137 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:10.800 available to do it for it. So in some sense 138 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.680 we're already heading toward that because you take out the 139 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.439 legs and Iran's going to have to do something one 140 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.800 way or another. It's not being provoked by Israel. It's 141 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.560 simply trying to stop it at the source. 142 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.240 Right. But what I'm saying, but I'm not sure if 143 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.759 we're saying the same thing here, is that I don't 144 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.000 want Iran to have a bomb because they. 145 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.919 Would attach you to what I agree. 146 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.799 Okay, And this may be a moment in time where 147 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.399 they have to take out the leadership of Iran because 148 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.679 it's been Look, it's been forty five years if you 149 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.799 go back to the Ayatola arriving in Iran, in Iran, 150 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.639 and that has worsened the you know, his arrival in 151 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.320 Iran basically plunged Iran into darkness, darkness now for forty 152 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.000 four years, forty five years, and I don't think it's 153 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.799 going to get any better. Jason. I wish you, you know, 154 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.919 godspeed and safe travels to Israel. And we're going to 155 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.159 continue this conversation. But I'd love to have you come 156 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.919 back upon your return, if that would be possible. 157 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.240 Just reach out to and it's been my my my pleasure. 158 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.879 Right by, gotcha, Thank you for your courage, Thank you 159 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.279 very much. We're going to take a break, Okay, I 160 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.240 want to hear from you.

I 189 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:55.720 couldn't believe those callers. 190 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.840 Go right ahead, Tom, Yeah, Tristan reminds me of what 191 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.759 during my college age years. I didn't go to college, however, 192 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.840 I had friends that used to take me to Noam 193 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.159 Chomsky and Howard Zinn lectures and then we'd have roundtable discussions. 194 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.840 And that asked me the more on what I thought. 195 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:19.159 I said, Number one, howards In feels guilty that he 196 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:23.000 dropped bombs over Dresden. I'm sorry, but the German people 197 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:27.600 got what they deserved. And as far as I'm concerned, 198 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.679 the difference between the Jews over in Israel, the IDF, 199 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:36.480 which also has Arabs and non Jews serving in that army. 200 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.039 They stand in front of the citizens of Israel and 201 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.200 will take a bullet for them. The cowards, I repeat, 202 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:52.559 the Islamic cowards of Hamas and Hezbollah stand behind men, 203 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:57.799 women and children that are Palestinians. That's the difference between 204 00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.399 the two. It's not hard to figure out. You don't 205 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:06.080 need a master's degree to figure this out in sociology, okay. 206 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:13.399 And for years the Jews have been trying to put 207 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:17.399 out an olive branch to the Palestinians. Look, we have 208 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.759 an ancestry in this land called Israel. It is mentioned 209 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.559 in your Holy Book at least two dozen times, written 210 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.600 by I don't know if the prophet Mohammed whomever. It's 211 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.559 in the Qur'an, the land of Israel, in the Jews 212 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.240 and at some point they just have to learn, you 213 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.440 know something, we need to love our children more than 214 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.639 we hate the Jews. And I think it was Golden 215 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.360 myy Air who said that. But no, the IDF, the 216 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.440 IDF has to do what has to be done. It 217 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.080 is a necessary evil. I hate to say it, but 218 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.639 there has to be a winner and a loser in 219 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.200 this war. If they don't, it is just going It's 220 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.639 just going to be like a wound that just festers 221 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:08.879 and festers, infesters. And what your previous caller said, and 222 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:13.000 you with regards to Iran, god forbid if they ever 223 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:18.399 detonate a nuclear weapon, because they have made it perfectly clear, 224 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.720 they will wipe Israel off the face of the earth. 225 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:27.000 And if that is what you wipe, liberal progresses in 226 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:31.320 Greater Boston want be careful what you wish for. Iran's 227 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.759 not going to launch a weapon or into our country. 228 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:38.120 They know that suicide, but they certainly will launch it 229 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.399 into Israel. No ifs answer butts. 230 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.919 And for the well. The other to me is that 231 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:48.159 the people who run Iran, you know, after I had 232 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:53.240 Toola Homoni arrived there, it's a theocracy. So all of 233 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:58.039 my progressive liberal friends, and I don't have many at 234 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:02.480 this point. But yeah, they're appalled. They're appalled that in 235 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.320 this country there's not an absolute separation of church at state. 236 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.799 They're appalled that churches get some sort of a tax break. 237 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.200 They're appalled that maybe poor parents might want to send 238 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.960 their kids to a charter school that may God forbid, 239 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.120 have some sort of a religious veneer to it. But 240 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:22.600 they're not appalled the fact that Iran is a theocracy 241 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:27.039 and is very close, if not already has the ability 242 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.519 to produce an atomic bomb. And they're nutjobs who are 243 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.480 running that country, who believe that if they were to 244 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.519 drop the big one in Israel, even if they got killed, 245 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:41.080 they would be going to Nirvana and the virgins would 246 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.240 be awaiting them. I mean, that's what they really believe. 247 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.519 Yeah, And and Maya Angelou said it best. When somebody 248 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.759 tells you who they are, believe them. Yes, she was 249 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.080 a very wise woman. And they have made it clear 250 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.559 since nineteen seven nine, Death to America, death to Israel. 251 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:06.200 That's not just you know. 252 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.159 And I canpigt Satan, yeah. 253 00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.440 Right, And you know, I'm not stupid. I can differentiate 254 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:18.039 between an Iranian person, Okay, who's come to America that's assimilated. 255 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.879 He used to have one of your callers, a guy 256 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.279 from Brookline who called him frequently. I can make that 257 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.240 determination to realize. 258 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:27.879 I know who you're talking about. Juliel used to be 259 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.840 a he worked at WBZ and I think you know 260 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.679 the story about Jaliel. Julia is a wonderful guy. Uh 261 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.159 And he wanted to get his mom out of Tehran 262 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.960 and I was able to And he will admit to 263 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.600 you that I was able through a political connection to 264 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.440 get her out of Iran. She could get to Istanbul, 265 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.159 but the embassy in Easton Bull wouldn't let her go further. 266 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.080 She got to Boston and he brought his mom to 267 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.000 meet me. Who was you know, thanking me and Farcie 268 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.720 and holding my hand. And a few months later I said, Julil, 269 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.120 how's your mom doing? Said she couldn't take the pace 270 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.639 and she went home, which broke my heart. True story true. 271 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.000 I swear to God. Jalil was on the front desk 272 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.240 at WBZ and he's nonsighted and one day he heard 273 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.120 me and he said, Dan, can I ask you a favor? 274 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.879 And I've did that. I swear to God. Tom I'm 275 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.200 telling you the truth. He will call in and confirm 276 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.559 the story. Yeah. 277 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:25.759 No. 278 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.080 And you know something like I say, I can you know, 279 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:33.799 I'm not stupid. I can make the difference between the 280 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.440 Persians of Iran, which most of them happened to be 281 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.840 Islamic by their faith, fair enough, but they're not willing 282 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.720 to commit suicide for a religious political objective. But unfortunately, 283 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.559 the theocracy in that country absolutely And you know the 284 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.720 one thing that really did bother me with President Obama. 285 00:16:55.159 --> 00:17:00.440 It's like Israel begged you not to do a deal 286 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:02.480 with them and. 287 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:05.519 The money what about the pedal life money that went 288 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:09.279 over that was sent over. Well, we don't have money 289 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.680 for people who have lost their homes in North Carolina, 290 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.119 but we had money to give to the Molahs in Iran. 291 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.920 Well, the thing was Biden did the same thing. But 292 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.480 the point being is that they freed up Iranian assets. Okay, 293 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.039 And in two thousand and nine when they had the 294 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.079 Green Revolution going on in Iran, what did Obama do 295 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.559 nothing to encourage them overthrowing the government. However, he encouraged 296 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.359 to overthrow the government in Libya as well as Egypt. 297 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.759 So to me, our roads lead back to Obama and 298 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.559 the other thing that I do want to rehash to 299 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.000 the Obama. 300 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.519 Field all Tom, I don't have any time for rehash. 301 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.640 We waited a long time. We've done seven but I 302 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:52.240 got the news at the bottom of the hour and 303 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.880 all right, here them tonight. Thank you so much for 304 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:01.359 a note of sanity tonight to my calls. We'll see 305 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:02.839 how we do on the other side of the news 306 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.319 here at eleven thirty. Thanks Tom, be well, thank you. 307 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.480 All right, we'll be back. The only line open is 308 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.440 six month seven. It just filled six months seven, two, five, four, 309 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.400 ten thirty. Write it down. We'll be back on night 310 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.319 Side on the other side. I'm going to try to 311 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.880 move calls a little bit more quickly. I'm gratified that 312 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.480 the lines are full here. If they're not full after 313 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.319 what you heard from those two callers in the ten 314 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.160 o'clock hour, then I guess you're not listening. Coming back 315 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.440 on Nightside, It's. 316 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.680 Night Side with Boston's News Radio. 317 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.440 Beg you, Dan Watkins. Just's go right to the phones. 318 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.200 Tina in Moonsocket, Rhode Island. Tina next first up this 319 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.160 half hour on Nightside. Go right ahead, Tina. 320 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.160 Oh yes, hi, Dan, I turned in late and when 321 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:50.759 I turned in I heard Russ's speaking. Now, the one 322 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:55.599 thing that Ruff said that I agreed with is that 323 00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:02.680 only God can establish the nation of Israel. And also 324 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:10.200 the Orthodox Jews also believe that according to the Bible. 325 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:16.640 So how can I say this. I'm looking at it 326 00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:20.680 from a spiritual point of view. I think Israel is 327 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:25.880 going to win. But like President Netanyahu said, you know 328 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.240 those who are going to come after us, who's gonna 329 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:34.119 come after after them even harder. So even if Israel 330 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.599 wins and it's going to destroy everybody so they can 331 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.119 have peace, They're not going to have peace because they're 332 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:43.960 not doing it God's way. 333 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:46.640 And I want. 334 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.599 To say, well again, you know it's the word of 335 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.920 God and the Jewish Orthodox religion. 336 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.039 Well if if we if we, if we go by 337 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:58.759 the word of God here in America, that we we 338 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.079 can't have any gay or let's being people because the 339 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.920 Bible says, you know, men shall not lay down with 340 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.759 you know, all of that stuff. Look, yeah, I have 341 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.960 my own religious beliefs. I assume you have your own 342 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.720 religious beliefs. I don't want to impose my religious beliefs 343 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.559 on other people. I might try to say to other people. Gee, 344 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:19.519 this is what I believe in and invite you to 345 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.240 you to join me in that point of view. But 346 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:24.519 I don't know what your religion is. Dan. 347 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:28.640 I also think that a lot of the world Israel 348 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.359 is not a blessing right now to the world. And 349 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.319 I think a lot of people realize that what do 350 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:36.000 you mean by that? 351 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:38.680 What is meant? Tina? 352 00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:48.960 So in other words, President Netanyaho is living now his 353 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.279 quest his military campaign as if he was in the 354 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.319 Old Testament. This is not the Old Testament anymore. This 355 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.680 is the New Testament, and people to out. 356 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.000 Okay, So Tina, let me ask you this. Let me 357 00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.759 ask you this, Tina. Okay, a year ago today, you 358 00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:05.440 know what happened. 359 00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.480 Yes, yeah, I know. I know. 360 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.559 What should Israel have done in response to what happened 361 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.359 a year ago today? In your opinion? 362 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.160 Well, I think in my opinion, because they were so 363 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.079 grievously hurt and they had a great, big open wound, 364 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.920 they should have just really stop for more about their 365 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.519 battle plan. Because right now, from what I've been seeing 366 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.519 and reading, they are acting now out of their pain, 367 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.359 and that's why they want to destroy it. 368 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.880 That's an answer to my question. My question. My question 369 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:44.160 was pretty direct. What should have Israel done? In your opinion? 370 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.200 Should have they just said, Hey, it's been a bad day, 371 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.279 let's bury our dead by sundown, and let's let's try 372 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:54.440 to reach peace with these people who have just slaughtered us. 373 00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:56.559 Is that what you think? I don't think you would 374 00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:58.960 think that, But if that's what you think, feel free 375 00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.440 to tell me. 376 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:02.960 Well, I think they should have thought more. 377 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.519 And so what they thought? We've had a year. I'm 378 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.519 asking you what this is a year? What would have 379 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:10.920 you done after you thought? You know? What should have 380 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.640 Israel done? Just said, well, this is once again a problem, 381 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.480 but maybe we'll go to the United Nations and we'll 382 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.359 talk about it. Is that what we should what should 383 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.799 have we done? After after nine to eleven said, well, 384 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.039 those guys that flew the plane in, you know, they 385 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.839 probably don't like us, and they did what they thought 386 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:32.400 was right. Who are we to judge them? They killed 387 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.480 a couple, Well, they killed three thousand people, but you know, 388 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:38.279 we're a big country. We have thirty two million people, 389 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.279 three hundred and twenty million people here three thousands not alone. 390 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.200 What should have we done? What do you do? What 391 00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:46.559 do you do with with terrorists? What should have What? 392 00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.079 Didn't we learn what to do with Hitler? Didn't we 393 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.720 learn what to do with with with you know, killers 394 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.440 and terrorists. 395 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:01.400 Well, the more Israel continues to go on this campaign, 396 00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.440 they're probably gonna win, but they're even going to cause 397 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:13.599 more gehrtest more Moreno, you don't. 398 00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:17.000 I get it, Tina. I asked you the question three times. 399 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:18.440 I'm not going to ask it to you again, but 400 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.599 think about it. Call me back. 401 00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:23.640
