WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.960 It's night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's video. 2 00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.439 All right, thank you, Dan Watkins. We have been following 3 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.320 here on nights, I particularly in the eleven o'clock hour 4 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:18.800 for the last few nights, the fallout and the reaction 5 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.320 to the US attack last Saturday night on the three 6 00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.920 nuclear sites in Iran. And as I'm sure most of 7 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.759 you know, there was an initial report at least part 8 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:38.079 of which was leaked to, amongst others, I guess CNN 9 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.520 and the New York Times and maybe a couple of 10 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:48.479 the network's mainstream networks, which said that maybe the bombing 11 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.000 by the B fifty twos with these bunker busting bombs 12 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.280 did not achieve or was not as successful as President 13 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.640 trumpet declared on Saturday night that the US had obliterated 14 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.959 the three sites, two of the sites written by the 15 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.640 bunker busting bombs, and one of the sites was hit 16 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:13.719 by about thirty Tomahawk missiles fired from from U S submarines. 17 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.159 Well today, Uh, and again there's a there's this back 18 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:25.359 and forth. Uh. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 19 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.680 whose name is General Dan Kin C A I n E. 20 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.760 He has the nickname of Raisin Kane which I'm sure 21 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.799 many of our people realized that. I have no idea 22 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.400 what the derivation of that is, but it sort of 23 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.599 was something that that people would have talked about. Well, 24 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.680 that guy, that guy who's raised Raises Caine meaning could 25 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.760 be could be used both as a compliment and also 26 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.400 as a criticism. But apparently this general the new US 27 00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:03.319 it was, uh, he's the Joint chiefs of Staff and 28 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.599 he's a US Air Force general, so he's a chairman 29 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.280 of the Joint chiefs of Staff and the US Air 30 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:13.520 Force general is respected, well respected. So he had a 31 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.719 news conference today and it was early and I want 32 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.159 to play a little bit of that, and we're going 33 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.080 to start off with cut twenty two, in which he 34 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:30.560 details with a great deal of specicific specificity as to 35 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.639 what went into this attack. Cut twenty two. 36 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.639 Rub Now, let me next move to a walk through 37 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:42.960 of the GBU fifty seven Massive Ordnance Penetrator weapon and 38 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.960 share a little bit about the planners who did this 39 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.919 and their work on the weapon. First, let me set 40 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.000 the stage for you. There's an organization in the US 41 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.280 called the Defense Threat Reduction Agency DITTRA. DITTRA does a 42 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.800 lot of things for our nation, but Ditra is the 43 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.759 world's leading expert on deeply buried underground targets. In two 44 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.800 thousand and nine, a Defense Threat Reduction Agency officer was 45 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.680 brought into a vault at an undisclosed location and briefed 46 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.560 on something going on in Iran for security purposes, I'm 47 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.120 not going to share his name. He was shown some 48 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.919 photos and some highly classified intelligence of what looked like 49 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.840 a major construction project in the mountains of Iran. He 50 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.360 was tasked to study this facility, work with the intelligence 51 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.840 community to understand it, and he was soon joined by 52 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:40.000 an additional teammate. 53 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.800 Okay, so basically what Kana saying here is that they 54 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.960 became aware of what around was doing in two thousand 55 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.639 and nine, and they put some eyeballs on it. Okay, 56 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.400 twenty two A please rob. 57 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.840 For more than fifteen years, this officer and his teammate 58 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.560 lived and breathed this single target four dough, a critical 59 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:10.840 element of Iran's covert nuclear weapons program. He studied the geology, 60 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.360 He watched the Iranians dig it out. He watched the construction, 61 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:19.040 the weather, the discard material, the geology, the construction materials, 62 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.360 where the materials came from. He looked at the vent shaft, 63 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.920 the exhaust shaft, the electrical systems, the environmental control systems, 64 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.519 every nook, every crater, every piece of equipment going in 65 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.839 and every piece of equipment going out. They literally dreamed 66 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.040 about this target at night when they slept, They thought 67 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.040 about it driving back and forth to work. And they 68 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.879 knew from the very first days what this was for. 69 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:47.959 You do not build a. 70 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:53.480 Multi layered underground bunker complex with centrifuges and other equipment 71 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.879 in a mountain for any peaceful. 72 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.839 Purpose twenty two BA. Please. 73 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.160 They weren't able to discuss this with their family, their wives, 74 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.600 their kids, their friends, but they just kept grinding it out. 75 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.480 And along the way they realized we did not have 76 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.959 a weapon that could adequately strike and kill this target. 77 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.160 So they began a journey to work with industry and 78 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.920 other tacticians to develop the GBU fifty seven. They tested 79 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.120 it over and over again, tried different options, tried more. 80 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.720 After that, they accomplished hundreds of test shots and dropped 81 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:38.040 many full scale weapons against extremely realistic targets for a 82 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:42.639 single purpose, kill this target at the time and place 83 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.319 of our nation's choosing. 84 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.639 This guy's pretty good. This is you're listening to General 85 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:54.160 Dan Kan. His nickname is Raisin Can twenty two c ROB. 86 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.399 And then, on a day in June of twenty twenty five, 87 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.639 more than fifteen years after they started their life's work, 88 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.800 the phone rang and the President of the United States 89 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.720 ordered the B two force that you've supported to go 90 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.240 strike and kill this target. Yesterday. I had the incredible 91 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.360 honor and privilege of spending time with these two Defense 92 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:19.279 Threat Reduction Agency officers who've given so much. One of 93 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.279 them said, quote, I can't even get my head around this. 94 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.560 My heart is so filled with the pride of being 95 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.240 a part of this team. I am so honored to 96 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.079 be a part of this. To you both, thank you, 97 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:37.120 and thank you to your families. Operation Midnight Hammer was 98 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.000 the culmination of those fifteen years of incredible work. The 99 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.079 air crews, the tanker crews, the weapons crews that built 100 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.560 the weapons, the load crews that loaded it. 101 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.000 Cut twenty three, please run. 102 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.879 One last story about people. When the crews went to 103 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.040 work on Friday, they kissed their loved ones goodbye, not 104 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.199 knowing when or if they'd be home. Late on Saturday night, 105 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:08.040 their families became aware of what was happening and on 106 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.720 Sunday when those jets return from white Men, their families 107 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:17.000 were there, flags flying and tears flowing. I have chills 108 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.439 literally talking about this. The jets rejoined into a formation 109 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.920 of four airplanes, followed by a formation of three, and 110 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.160 came up overhead white Men, proudly in the traffic pattern, 111 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:33.120 pitching out to land right over the base and landing 112 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:37.720 to the incredible cheers of their families who sacrifice and 113 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:42.160 serve right alongside their family members. Like I said, there 114 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.720 were a lot of flags and a lot of tears. 115 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.319 Now that guy is a leader. He finishes up with 116 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:55.399 an explanation of how these bunker busting bombs work. Listen 117 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:55.720 to this. 118 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.920 Unlike a normal surface bomb, I don't see an impact 119 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.800 crater because they're designed to deeply bury and then function. 120 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.040 I know there's been a lot of questions about that. 121 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.079 All six weapons at each vent at four DOH went 122 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.480 exactly where they were intended to go. A bomb has 123 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:23.439 three effects that causes damage, blast, fragmentation, and overpressure. In 124 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.879 this case, the primary kill mechanism in the mission space 125 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.600 was a mix of overpressure and blast, ripping through the 126 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.679 open tunnels and destroying critical hardware. The majority of the 127 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:39.120 damage we assessed, based on our extensive modeling, was a 128 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.960 blast layer combined with the impulse extending from the shock. 129 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.679 Imagine what this looks like six times over. 130 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:56.240 And if you don't believe General dan Kin, which I do, 131 00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.240 let's listen to Cut thirteen. This gentleman is the Iranian 132 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:08.399 Foreign Ministry spokesperson s mile Baki. Cut thirteen, Rob. 133 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.240 Can you tell us I'm going to insist on this 134 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:11.440 a little bit more? 135 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:17.240 What remains operational today as far as Iran's nuclear program. 136 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.600 I have nothing to add on this matter because it's 137 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:25.080 a matter of technical issue or Atomic Energy Organization and 138 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:30.360 other relevant agencies are working on that. But yes, our 139 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:36.759 nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure, because 140 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.080 it has come on the repeated attacks by Israeli An 141 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.200 American aggressors. 142 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.039 So I said last night, and I said Monday night, 143 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:54.120 do not listen to what Iran says, watch what they do. 144 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.480 I'm listening to what this guy said. That is an 145 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.879 absolute admission that perhaps Donald Trump was right when he 146 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:07.519 said these facilities were obliterated. I still don't know that, 147 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.320 but it sounds to me when you pair the explanation 148 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.799 from General Kine, which was pretty impressive with what this 149 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.639 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson now confirms, and the fact that, 150 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.639 as I said Monday night, don't listen to what they say, 151 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.639 watch what they do. For them to be in a 152 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.039 ceasefire now for I'm guessing it's about seventy two hours 153 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.080 or so, tells me more than I need to know. 154 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:44.879 I think this mission was an extraordinary success, and just 155 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:51.159 as the mission that President Obama authorized to eliminate Osama 156 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:56.440 bin Laden was extraordinarily dangerous and an extraordinary success. As 157 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.840 I said a couple of weeks ago, imagine the decisions, 158 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:04.919 the monumental decisions that any president of the United States 159 00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:10.480 Democratic Republican has to make, knowing that nothing is guaranteed, 160 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.200 but hoping for complete success. I'd love to get your 161 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:21.200 reaction to what has transpired in the last seventy two hours. 162 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.120 I think that General Kine is a remarkable leader. Just 163 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.840 the way in which he presented himself, we are blessed 164 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.840 to have him as the Joint as the Chairman of 165 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.159 the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Coming back on Night's side, 166 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:42.240 three sixty one seven, I got some lines open here 167 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.480 six one, seven, two, five four to ten thirty or 168 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.840 six one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. I would 169 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.120 like to see these lines light up. If you disagree 170 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.600 and you still have doubts, then you think that CNN 171 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.600 was right in terms of what they rep for two 172 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:06.960 days straight, uh, leaving me and probably all of you 173 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.519 to believe that this mission was not a success based 174 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:15.519 upon some information that was leaked and it only could 175 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:18.639 have been leaked by someone who had a very high 176 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.399 security clearance, which is sad when you think about it. 177 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.600 It's really sad that someone decided to leak a security 178 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.919 who had a security clearance, decided to leak information for 179 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:46.279 political purposes. Uh, it's it's extraordinary. Sixty six seven. Let's 180 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:47.919 be honest, give me a call. 181 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:54.440 It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. 182 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.480 All right, let's go to the phones. I'm looking for 183 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.840 full lines, folks. Seven two, five, four, ten thirty, six 184 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.960 point seven nine three one ten thirty. If you are 185 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:11.360 not proud as an American to listen to the presentation 186 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:18.399 of General Dan Raisin Kane, I felt many of you 187 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.600 perhaps did not hear his presentation today, and I wanted 188 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.279 to make sure that it was played tonight because I 189 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.320 think it is pretty emphatic. And everything that I've learned 190 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.159 about this guy is that he is a military officer. 191 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:40.120 He is he does not have a political stripe. The 192 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:45.200 only stripes that the stars on his shoulder speak for himself. 193 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.159 And by the way, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman confirms 194 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:53.879 our nuclear inter installations have been badly damaged because of 195 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.279 repeated attacks. Okay, let's go to Gary and Wilburn. Gary, 196 00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:58.919 you and you are first up this hour and nights. 197 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.879 I appreciate you calling in Gary, Go right ahead. 198 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.879 Yeah, Dan, I haven't been calling for a long time 199 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.879 because I've had my own troubles in my life with 200 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:10.159 my physical weight, because I'm very big. What was I 201 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:14.000 going to say? I suppiled everything that Trump does, because 202 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.759 let's face it, he's a genius as far as I'm concerned, 203 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:19.799 and just to be on your side when he puts 204 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.960 people down and so forth, let's face the fact. You know, McCain, 205 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.919 he's just a jerk. When I do have one question 206 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.840 for him, I'm troubled by. And of course, Dan is 207 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.320 the man. Is it true that Vladimir Putin offered his 208 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.799 assistance to go after Iran with the United States? 209 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.600 No partners. 210 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.879 No. No. As a matter of fact, I think that 211 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.960 President Trump had a phone call with Putin earlier this week, 212 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:51.559 and at some point Putin said to the president was 213 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:55.960 reported that he could not help us on Iran because 214 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:58.440 he has a relationship with Iran. As a matter of fact, 215 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:04.039 he he met and received members of the Iranian government 216 00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:11.519 in Moscow earlier, I believe, after the bombing of Saturday night, 217 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:15.440 and apparently President Trump said to him, no, but you 218 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.320 can help me with Russia Ukraine. So I think that, 219 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.919 you know, if Trump is smart, and I believe he's smart. 220 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.679 I believe at different times he's uncouth and all of that, 221 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.679 but I do believe that he's smart, and I think 222 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:34.000 that what he's trying to do now is maybe, in 223 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:39.600 my opinion, basically take the momentum that he might have 224 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.960 now because of the success of the raids. And that 225 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.799 was that was a tough call. That was not an 226 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:51.840 easy call. That was you know, if again any president, 227 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.120 as I said, I will link this to the call 228 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.919 that President Obama made. You know, he had those two 229 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:01.279 helicopters go in to Pakistan to get to get Osama 230 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:07.399 bin Laden, and one of the helicopters crashed, as you recall. 231 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.200 So you've got to give both of these individuals credit 232 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:16.120 for their courage. And I assume they did their due 233 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:20.919 diligence on these to these two raids. But I assume 234 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.440 that now there may be some outreach from Saudi Arabia 235 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:30.440 to Israel. Let's get the Abraham Accords, Let's get more 236 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.799 people signing on to them, Let's let's get peace finally 237 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.879 in the in the Middle East, at least for a while. 238 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.320 You know, who knows what happens tomorrow. But the fact 239 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.360 that they haven't fired rockets at each other for three days, 240 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:48.720 that's pretty positive. I think A. 241 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.440 Couple more questions I want to ask you, is this 242 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.919 when you hear about all the Arabic country said, oh 243 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.320 my god, we all stand together. Oh and then once 244 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.320 the United States something like what they just did, every 245 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.600 Arabic country is back, And when I said, Hi, Donald, 246 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.759 how you doing well? 247 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:10.319 I think that that's that's an observation. I don't know 248 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.680 that the Arabic countries, by the way, as you describe them, 249 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.839 friends with Iran. Iran is and has for forty five 250 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:26.880 years been a country that's an outlaw nation. It's it's 251 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:31.839 not it's a it's a bad government. It's a bad government, 252 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.599 just like North Korea is a bad government as bad 253 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.720 as Putin is. And he's very bad. We had and 254 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:43.039 of course it's it's indefensible what he's done to Ukraine indefensible. 255 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:50.960 But we somehow have to get him to stop doing 256 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.720 what he's doing in Ukraine without pushing him to the 257 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.200 point where he does something really crazy. I mean, we're 258 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.599 dealing with people who are I don't know. I'm sure 259 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.440 that there were psychological theories here, but some of these 260 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.279 people have to be I mean the people the Mullas, 261 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.720 I think they are theocrats that they don't care if 262 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.480 they ever got that bomb. I think that nuclear bomb, 263 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.519 they would have thrown it in on Israel and they 264 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.559 would have they would have they would have accepted and 265 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:20.319 welcomed death. 266 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.839 Daniel smarter than maryor I do have this other question, 267 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.799 is this any country that has a nuclear bomb and 268 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:31.279 so forth? Is it a matter of our intelligence that 269 00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:36.400 we know within a matter of seconds that that what 270 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.839 they're about to do, where we have to go to 271 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.680 our own battle stations and make sure that weapon is 272 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:43.759 not shot at us? Can you explain this? 273 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.599 There are nine countries as I understand that who have 274 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.640 a nuclear weapon. Some of those countries you don't have 275 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:58.039 to worry about. Britain and France have nuclear weapons. Countries 276 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:01.079 that you have to worry about. Can stand in India 277 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.440 their nuclear weapons appointed at each other. Israel has a 278 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:10.039 nuclear weapon. I has the capacity. Obviously Russia and China 279 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:14.559 also have that capacity. We have that capacity. I believe 280 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.200 Brazil has a nuclear weapon, but I don't know that 281 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.599 they have they have the delivery system. I'm sure that 282 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.440 that we have people tonight somewhere running radar. We have 283 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.839 submarines in the water. We we we you know, we 284 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.759 we are. You know, we're probably more at risk from 285 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.559 some lone wolf actor with a suitcase nuke. When all 286 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:44.000 of those Soviet satellite so Soviet states broke up and 287 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.000 many of them they're there now that there's Russia and 288 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.119 the old Soviet Union, a lot of that weaponry is 289 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.400 unaccounted for. That's what scares me. I don't think Putin 290 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:58.039 is going to fire a weapon at US. I don't 291 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:01.400 think Gigiping's gonna fire a weapon us because they know 292 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:02.839 that we could destroy them as well. 293 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:08.319 So about North Korea, one of his name, Yeah, right. 294 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.400 Kim Jong wun. He's a nut job, but he also 295 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:16.440 likes his lifestyle, and he knows that if he fires 296 00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.519 a nuclear I'd be more concerned about him firing a 297 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.319 nuclear weapon either at South Korea or Japan. But he 298 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.920 knows if he does that his his his minutes are 299 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.480 numbered because we we got we got one that that 300 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.759 we would put on whatever building he was living in. So, 301 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.519 I mean, you know, we've lived with in the nuclear 302 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.200 rage for many many years, and hopefully we can live 303 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.160 for many more generations. But the one country that I 304 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:46.039 most worried about having a nuclear weapon was is and 305 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.839 was but still is Iran, and that has been removed 306 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.519 because of President Trump's decision on Saturday night, and I 307 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.359 think all of us that that has reduced. They should 308 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.000 take that nuke your countdown, Clark and move it back 309 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.680 a little bit, because I think now is less likely 310 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:06.880 that we're going to see a nuclear war in our 311 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.640 lifetime now that Iran has been newted. Thanks Gary. 312 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:16.839 Last question, okay O, I am't the story lately. What 313 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.000 is the president does of the eggs going for right now, 314 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:21.319 you can. 315 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:23.839 Get a dozen eggs for four ninety nine and probably 316 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:28.160 less than market basket. It's hasn't got hasn't gotten back 317 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:29.839 to where it used to be. I used to buy 318 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.880 him for buck ninety nine. It'll get Hopefully they'll get 319 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:35.559 back there. Thanks Garry, talk to you later. 320 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:36.799 By bye. 321 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.119 Take a very quick break. I got some open lines here, 322 00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:42.559 which is ridiculous. Six one seven, two thirty, six one seven, 323 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:46.079 nine thirty Joe and Laurie coming up and they get 324 00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:49.000 some room for you. Uh, how about a little a 325 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.319 little credit, a little credit to the men and women 326 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.880 in the military who executed this mission on Saturday night. 327 00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.079 And how about a little credit to this chief of staff. 328 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:06.599 This chief an amazing, amazing individual, the Chairman of the 329 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:10.480 Joint Chiefs of Staff US Air Force, General Dan Kane. 330 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.200 I don't think anyone you know could have explained it 331 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.400 better than him. And if that doesn't make you proud 332 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:20.680 to me in America, I don't think you're an American. 333 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:23.279 I hate to put it like that, but give us 334 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.680 a call coming back six one seven two ten thirty 335 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.720 six one seven, nine, one ten thirty back. 336 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:34.240 On night Side, Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm w 337 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:36.880 BZ Boston's news radio. 338 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:38.759 Let's go to the call. It's gonna go to Joe 339 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:40.720 and Boston. Hey Joe, welcome back. How are you. 340 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:42.799 Good? 341 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.559 How are you Dan? 342 00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:48.880 I'm doing just great, Joe. What's your thought? 343 00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:54.680 I used to work for a company, the Recheon. Okay, sure, 344 00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.440 And what I want to tell you, I don't agree 345 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.279 with President Trump a lot of things. We're he's one 346 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:05.799 hundred percent right what he had to do. And also 347 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.759 other president's Democratic Republicans and Republican president that I'm to 348 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.599 say anything and when they excuse me, when they have to. 349 00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:20.160 You cannot let a country that ball file was something 350 00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:26.480 that dangerous that it will never happen. And again, the 351 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.599 world is the safer place because what happened. Uh. And 352 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:31.640 the people that don't don't believe it. 353 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:32.559 Uh. 354 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.880 You know, the war's not right, you know, killing is 355 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.119 not right. But you do have to take care of yourself, 356 00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:42.160 you know. And this country has to be taken care 357 00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:45.359 has to be taken care of protected. And the thing 358 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:47.759 is we had to do it. We're going to have 359 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.480 to do it in many years down the road with 360 00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:54.240 other people possibly. But what I'm trying to say is 361 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.160 the people that think that it's not right, you know, 362 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.839 protest against this, and that if they lived in Russia, 363 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:05.440 or if they lived in China or North Korea and 364 00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.960 they did that, they'd have a three cent bolt in 365 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:16.480 their head. Let everybody talk and hopefully everybody's civil about it. 366 00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.359 But when push comes to shoves, the reason why we're 367 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.960 here safe in this country is because of it, because 368 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:27.000 of the gentlemen, the pilots and all the servicemen and 369 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.839 the people behind it that make us safe. 370 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:31.839 That's pret Well, let me tell you something. I so 371 00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:34.319 appreciate Joe your call. I wish I heard from more 372 00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.319 people who felt that way. I watched the news tonight 373 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:40.640 and I saw those people demonstrating, Uh, you know, stop 374 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.400 attacking Iran. You know, if you really feel that way, 375 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:46.839 why don't you go over there and spend some vacation 376 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.160 time over there, you know, get to know the country 377 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.680 a little bit better. I mean, these are people who 378 00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:58.240 hate the United States of America. Uh, and if they 379 00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:03.240 they it's so frustrating. They have every right to protest. Okay, 380 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.039 I defend their right to protest, but but it would 381 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:09.039 be like I guess there were people out there who 382 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:11.960 would who would say, you know, leave Hitler alone. He says, 383 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.920 he's just a guy who's looking for a little bit 384 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:15.960 of extra real estate for his country. I don't know. 385 00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:19.079 That's uh, it's I look at him. I think to myself, 386 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.640 what is the world experience been? What have they had? 387 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:24.960 What are they aware of? What have they watched? Have 388 00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.720 they watched what this country went through? Have they watched 389 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.039 what happened to the Marines and the barracks in Beirut? 390 00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.160 What are they? What are they? I don't know. It's 391 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:35.599 very frustrating, but Joe, you said it better than I could. 392 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.799 And I so appreciate your call. 393 00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:40.200 Hey, thank you very much. 394 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.960 Daran, please call more often, Joe.
