1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>He's Nightside with Dan Ray on WBZ, Cooston's radio.

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Really cooling off here. Let me tell you, uh ninety

3
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 2>degrees it at ten oh seven on Elite You Night.

4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 2>That's that's one for the record books. I guess my

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.239
<v Speaker 2>name's Dan Ray. I'm the host of Nightside. We've heard

6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>every Monday through Friday night right here on WBZ, and

7
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>we will continue to follow that global partner story. I

8
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 2>hope the governor has a sense of fairness to at

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>least review what the Board of Transportation Commissioners of Transportation

10
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 2>whenever they're called did. That is a big, big decision

11
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 2>because when you think about a thirty five year contract,

12
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 2>if my math is correct, thirty five years will take

13
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 2>us to the year twenty sixty. That's that's that's a

14
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>long time. Hence twenty sixty and whatever decision is made

15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 2>this year, we'll have implications for many years to come.

16
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>And so we're going to open up a conversation here

17
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>about this moving target, which is the Iran Israel controversy.

18
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Last night, I think I told you that I thought

19
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot of confusion in the statement that

20
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>the President had put President Trump had put on Trump

21
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>on truth, social and I'm not going to go over

22
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 2>it in great length. But it wasn't a simultaneous cease fire.

23
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't one of these things that on the at

24
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, at the eleventh minute,

25
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the fighting will stop. No, it was. It was officially

26
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>he wrote, Iran will start the cease fire, and upon

27
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the twelfth hour, Israel will start the cease fire, and

28
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>upon the twenty fourth hour, an official end to the

29
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>twelve day war will be saluted by the world. Well,

30
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the question that was open was if Iran is starting

31
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>the ceasefire last night at midnight, and Israel was going

32
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>to start the ceasefire twelve hours later. That gave Israel

33
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 2>really twelve hours to do whatever they wanted, and I

34
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>think Israel started to do that as Israel has wont

35
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>to do. And then of course Iran responded. And this morning,

36
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>as the President was leaving for this NATO meeting in

37
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Europe in the Netherlands where he is tonight, the President

38
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>was pretty upset. So let's go to cut twenty two. Rob.

39
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>This was a frustrated President Trump. He's going to have

40
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot to be frustrated about here. As we talked

41
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>this evening. But this was President Trump leaving the White

42
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 2>House this morning, frustrated that the ceasefire, which he had

43
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>in his mind I'm sure maneuvered and had basically created,

44
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 2>had fallen apart by six o'clock. Well by early morning.

45
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Cut twenty two, please, rub.

46
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 3>I think violated it.

47
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that.

48
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn't range

49
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 3>people back.

50
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't like the.

51
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Fact that Israel went out this morning at all. And

52
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to see if I can stop it.

53
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you mean that, Rode, we need to see it.

54
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I do.

55
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 3>They violated, but Israel violated it too.

56
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So that was early this morning, and then he

57
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 2>got his language got a little salty as a matter

58
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>of fact. And I hope that Marina has cleaned this

59
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>language up. I believe she has. This is cut number

60
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty one. Rob.

61
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 3>What we have, we basically have to countries that have

62
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 3>been fighting so long and so hard that they don't

63
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 3>know what the they're doing. Do you understand that I'm

64
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 3>not happy that Israel's going out now? There was one

65
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 3>rocket that I guess was fired overboard. It was after

66
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 3>the time I met and admits it's target and now

67
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Israel's going out. These guys got to calm down ridiculously.

68
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Now, later today there was apparently a leak or

69
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>two because I watched CNN, and I also watched ABC

70
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Nightly News, No, the ABC World News Tonight. They have

71
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>different names for there, they have different titles Nightly News,

72
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>World News Tonight, the World, et cetera. And there was

73
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>a great deal of reporting tonight that perhaps the President

74
00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 2>who used the word obliterated on Saturday Saturday evening might

75
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>have been a little premature, because now there's questions about

76
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>are there any Iranian centrifuges left, how much of this

77
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>enriched uranium is available, how much of it was destroyed,

78
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>And there were some leaks today which suggested that the

79
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 2>success or the obliteration of the three sites perhaps is

80
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 2>not as complete as the President felt. Now. From where

81
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm sitting, and I'm not an expert in this, and

82
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>probably neither of you, but that's okay, we're going to

83
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>talk about it. From where I'm sitting, I don't see

84
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>either how you're going to figure out who how much

85
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.759
<v Speaker 2>damage was done. These sites are hundreds of feet underground

86
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>where all of the paraphernalia was that was at these

87
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>three sides. And my understanding is that if the damage

88
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 2>was done that these bunker bombs do. I don't know

89
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>how anyone can even get down to where the bombs detonated,

90
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 2>at least as quickly. If anybody could get down there,

91
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I assume it probably would be MASAD agents, but I

92
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 2>don't think that they can actually accurately calculate. When the

93
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 2>President talked about the sites being obliterated, I think he

94
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 2>was speaking, you know, the same way that a football

95
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>coach might speak after they win a game. I mean,

96
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the President is always engages in overstatement. Everything is the

97
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 2>most amazing, it's the greatest that's never happened before, and

98
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 2>this is Golden Age and all of that sort of language.

99
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think it's helpful. I think that the

100
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 2>President should have been more restrained in his remarks, but

101
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't. So now the question is when will we

102
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>get the true assessments and what do you think? Well,

103
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:31.759
<v Speaker 2>they will say so, and then if this ceasefire doesn't hold,

104
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>what happens next? So there's more questions than answers tonight.

105
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to open up the phone lines

106
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and give everyone an opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas.

107
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that this attack was the correct thing, the

108
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>correct action to take. As a matter of fact, some

109
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Democrats have called for the impeachment of President Trump. I

110
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 2>don't think that that is even within the realm of possibility,

111
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>particularly in view of the number of attacks that Democratic

112
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>presidents have participated in, you know again, over the years.

113
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 2>And I think if there ever was an attack which

114
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 2>was important and justified, this would be it, in my opinion. Now,

115
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>John Fetterman, the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, was very clear

116
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 2>in his comment today or late yesterday talking and of

117
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>course his vote holds much more weight than that of AOC.

118
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>But this is what Fetterman had to say. Cut sixteen.

119
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Please Rob.

120
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Alexandrio Cosio Cortez says the president shouldn't be impeached because

121
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:52.720
<v Speaker 5>he's impulsive.

122
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of that?

123
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, I mean, of course no, she knows that,

124
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I know it. We all know what. That's not going anywhere.

125
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 6>And you know, he's been impeached twice and now he

126
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 6>still our president as well now too, so it's not

127
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 6>going anywhere. And I don't think that's helpful and I

128
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 6>think if you throw that term around, that actually diminishes

129
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 6>what the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for.

130
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>All Right, So bottom line is the Democrats, understandably are

131
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 2>going to try to make their political points. I think

132
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>it's a mistake for the national Democrats to make this.

133
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I watched CNN today and their poster suggested that the

134
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 2>vast majority of American people were opposed to what the

135
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 2>President did. Now, I believe those numbers will turn around.

136
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:49.919
<v Speaker 2>And here's why. I believe that if Iran had not

137
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 2>suffered a very serious setback. And I don't know how

138
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>many centrifugias are left, I don't know how much enriched

139
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 2>plutonium is left, if any, I don't know where it's gone.

140
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know any of this. The only thing that

141
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 2>I can allude to is the fact that Iran is

142
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.639
<v Speaker 2>now willing to engage in a cease fire, and it's

143
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 2>apparently been holding for a little over twelve hours. And

144
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 2>assuming it does the fact that they would just be

145
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>willing to engage in this cease fire with Israel, who

146
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>they have intended and have said that they would like

147
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.159
<v Speaker 2>to wipe off the face of the earth. That says

148
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 2>more to me than anything. I would assume the Iranian

149
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 2>leaders have some idea, a pretty good idea right now,

150
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 2>of what damage was inflicted on these three nuclear sites

151
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and what impact whatever that damage is, will have on

152
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>their efforts to get their nuclear operation back up and

153
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 2>running if they can. I don't know that they can.

154
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Maybe you do. Six seven four ten

155
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. I

156
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>don't think any of these network journalists who are talking

157
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.320
<v Speaker 2>about what sources are telling me this. Sources are telling

158
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 2>me that they may have sources, but they never tell

159
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.519
<v Speaker 2>you who the sources are, and in art many cases

160
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>they're dead wrong and they have a history of being wrong.

161
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 2>So why should you trust them when they say, oh,

162
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 2>two sources have told us, Does it matter to me?

163
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 2>Look at what people do, not what they say, and

164
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 2>look at what the Iranian government has done in the

165
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty four to forty eight hours after the attack. That

166
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 2>tells me more than any anonymous source. Join the conversation.

167
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 2>We got a lot to talk about. This is an

168
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 2>important subject. Six one, seven, two, five, four to ten

169
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty got a couple of lines there, and I got

170
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.320
<v Speaker 2>one line of six one seven nine, three, one, ten thirty.

171
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's get it going right after the break here on Nightside.

172
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray, Boston's news radio.

173
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the phones. Let me go to Jeff

174
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>in Waltham. Jeff, you first, this hour a Night's Side.

175
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Your take on this developing story, Go ahead, Jeff, Oh.

176
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Okay, My take is this, Dan, I think it's absolutely

177
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:23.960
<v Speaker 4>imperative for world survival that Iranian nuclearization be prevented.

178
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't agree with you more on that couldn't create.

179
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 4>That based on their actions and their rhetoric. Okay, now

180
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 4>of the regime.

181
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 7>Ye.

182
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Secondly, I think from what you said, and I haven't

183
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 4>followed the full story year concerning the ceasefire, but if

184
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 4>the seats fire did not begin at the same time

185
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 4>for both sides, Uh, that strikes me. It's a quite

186
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 4>unsound proposition.

187
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.759
<v Speaker 2>And I talked about that last night.

188
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 7>When I mean that is that because.

189
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 4>Obviously when that happens, one side is vulnerable very unfairly.

190
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 4>And I think, uh, whoever proposed those terms, and I

191
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.360
<v Speaker 4>don't know who it was, UH, have demonstrated a major

192
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 4>lack of foresight because a ceasefire should always begin at

193
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 4>the same time for both parties. Otherwise it's not a ceasefire,

194
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 4>and one party is the thing is sitting duck. Okay,

195
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 4>so that's unsound.

196
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Those terms. Those terms were articulated by President Trump when

197
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.120
<v Speaker 2>he last night about six o two pm. I'm holding

198
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.320
<v Speaker 2>his statement in my hands in which he wrote and

199
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>I was confused by it, and it could be that

200
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.360
<v Speaker 2>everybody was confused by it. But you're right, a ceasefire

201
00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>should be a mutual agree.

202
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Uh, if we have.

203
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>That's correct.

204
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:04.919
<v Speaker 5>You got it.

205
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

206
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.039
<v Speaker 4>I am very gratified, very gratified to have it.

207
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I appreciate your call as well, and thank you

208
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>for your support of Israel. Jeff, by the way, you

209
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.919
<v Speaker 2>had called me privately about a month ago about an

210
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>individual who was under indictment, and I saw that there

211
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>was a I believe, either a guilty plea or yes

212
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>there was Okay. I tried to call you about you,

213
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:32.080
<v Speaker 2>congratulate you. I hope that part of that settlement or

214
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>that guilty plea was for uh you, you to be

215
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.519
<v Speaker 2>get the money back that was reimmersed.

216
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.559
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's yet to come. Maybe I'll contact you privately

217
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:47.399
<v Speaker 4>about that matter.

218
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for you. I tried to call you.

219
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.519
<v Speaker 4>And thank you so much for your concern about it,

220
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 4>and thank you for the airtime tonight.

221
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thanks Jeff, talk to you soon. Good night. That's

222
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.679
<v Speaker 2>a great night. Let me go next to Mike and Beverly. Mike,

223
00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you next on nightside.

224
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 7>Go ahead, Hey, Dan, can you hear me?

225
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:05.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, Mike you always ask me can you hear me?

226
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 2>And I've never had problems hearing you, So.

227
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.679
<v Speaker 5>You can just get right one time he did. Dan.

228
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:14.120
<v Speaker 7>That's why I just make it sure, you know, But

229
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 7>I just always making sure anyway. First off, can you

230
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.279
<v Speaker 7>stop watching the left wing media channels please?

231
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.519
<v Speaker 2>First of all, just so you know, I when when

232
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I UH eat during the day, I eat a balanced diet.

233
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about you, but there are some people

234
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>who just eat popcorn and pepsi or something like that.

235
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 2>I try to eat fruits and vegetables and greens and

236
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 2>uh lots of water. And I also do the same thing.

237
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 2>When I consume news, I believe it or not believe it.

238
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I read the New York Times, I read the Boston Globe,

239
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>I read the Boston Herald, I read the Wall Street Journal.

240
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I watch ABC, NBC, and CB. I watch some Fox

241
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and I watch some CNN, and I watch Bloomberg. So

242
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>I have a responsibility to you and to everyone in

243
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>this audience to present a balanced point of view, and

244
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 2>in addition to that, give everyone an opportunity to say

245
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.600
<v Speaker 2>whatever they want. And what you might think is a

246
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 2>biased channel. That's your opinion. But I want to make

247
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>sure that I can respond to anything anyone throws at me,

248
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.080
<v Speaker 2>because I'm sitting up here and I got tens of

249
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.519
<v Speaker 2>thousands of listeners and a lot of them out They

250
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>would like to see me be wrong or make a mistake, Mike,

251
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 2>But I come into the program as prepared as I

252
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>can possibly be. Does it mean I don't make mistakes.

253
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely not. But I try to minimize those mistakes, and

254
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 2>part of doing that is to have a balanced diet

255
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 2>and also a balanced understanding points of view of what's

256
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 2>going on in the world. I know I've given you

257
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.559
<v Speaker 2>a long answer, but I think you get it.

258
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 7>Go ahead, Yes, anyway, as the bombing goes, it's Santa.

259
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 7>So what I understand Israel has people on the ground already.

260
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 7>I just kind of take a little time for the

261
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.359
<v Speaker 7>bombers to go through that. They guess they have some

262
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 7>people over in Iran. They gotta go through that. I

263
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 7>don't know how that works, or nobody's probably going to

264
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 7>go through there physically. They'll probably do it on.

265
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Biden into this. We've talked about that. Here's what Here's

266
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:27.119
<v Speaker 2>what Israel does. Israel has people on the ground in

267
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I run most agents who either are Iranian or appeared

268
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to be Iranian and speak uh fluent Farsi, so therefore

269
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 2>they can blend in. They may have people within the

270
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.319
<v Speaker 2>higher structure of the military. I listened to a phone

271
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>call today that someone sent me of an Iranian general

272
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>being threatened by an Israeli operative, and it was it

273
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.920
<v Speaker 2>was in Israeli or Farsi, and I didn't understand that,

274
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.119
<v Speaker 2>but I read the subtitles and basic they were telling

275
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.160
<v Speaker 2>this Iriti in general, you have twelve hours to live.

276
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.880
<v Speaker 2>If you want to make a statement, a public statement,

277
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>that you are disassociating yourself in the regime, you will

278
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>be spared, and your wife will be spared, and your

279
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.640
<v Speaker 2>family will be spared, even though you don't deserve to

280
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 2>be spared. And you could tell that this Iranian general

281
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 2>just with the tone of the voices, he was taking

282
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>this pretty seriously. You don't want to mess with the Israelis.

283
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 2>They know what they're doing here.

284
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 7>And yet you know, the whole you know, the phone

285
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.160
<v Speaker 7>blow up thing was you know a few months ago,

286
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.799
<v Speaker 7>ARTHA was pretty much outside of the box, very creative,

287
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:43.720
<v Speaker 7>all that sort of stuff wiped out.

288
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.839
<v Speaker 2>They wiped out Hezbollah's leadership in a matter of twenty

289
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.200
<v Speaker 2>four hours. And the first thing they did was they

290
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.119
<v Speaker 2>hit cell phones and then they the second round was

291
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.599
<v Speaker 2>the walkie talkies, which Hesbola would have distributed to their members.

292
00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:59.400
<v Speaker 2>So they're pretty.

293
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.000
<v Speaker 7>Gonna go, well, I support it very much and needs

294
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 7>to be done.

295
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker 5>You know, the whole.

296
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.480
<v Speaker 7>Uh Trump brahm AOC thing, you know, out of their mind,

297
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 7>have peachment, you know, I mean that's the first time

298
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 7>they go to and you know, I want something else. Earlier, Uh,

299
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.200
<v Speaker 7>somebody else had done the same thing Trump has done.

300
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 7>Six to seven of the president have done the same

301
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 7>thing He's done on different situations and never never again.

302
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I got it. You have to consider the source AOC

303
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 2>is the Marjorie Taylor Green of the Democratic Party. Okay, uh,

304
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 2>And so as crazy as you think AOC is, the

305
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Republicans had their crazies too, and the crazies don't help

306
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the people, the legitimate people within both parties elected officials

307
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.759
<v Speaker 2>who are trying to do what they considered to be

308
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the right thing. Mike, I heard you loud and clearly.

309
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I think you're you have the goods very much, Mike,

310
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:03.079
<v Speaker 2>take it easy. Six one seven two thirty, six, seven thirty.

00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Here's the newscast. We'll be back in just about three

312
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.480
<v Speaker 2>or four minutes. And we have a couple of open lines.

313
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Joined the conversation. Last night. I mentioned that we had

314
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 2>a paucity of female callers. We seem to have a

315
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 2>paucity of female callers on issues of war and peace. Ladies,

316
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.519
<v Speaker 2>do not be afraid, do not be shy your opinions

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.440
<v Speaker 2>You will have an opportunity to express whatever you want

320

<v Speaker 2>to say, whomever you support, whomever you respect. Feel free.

<v Speaker 2>We'll be back on nights Side after this.

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Back to the phones we go. We're gonna go to

324
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Steve and Air. Steve, you were next on Nightside. Welcome,

325
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Hey Dan, how are you I'm good, Steve. What's going on?

326
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 7>Well, I just wanted to chime in on everything.

327
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 8>So you know what's happening with Iran? Those guys Hezbola,

328
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 8>they've been doing all that for years and years, you know,

329
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.519
<v Speaker 8>and it's about time soon stepped up and did what

330
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:19.680
<v Speaker 8>it had to be done.

331
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.039
<v Speaker 7>You know.

332
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 8>Obama he tried doing, you know, eliminating some of those

333
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:29.039
<v Speaker 8>uh you know, all those scientists disappeared or whatever happened

334
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.000
<v Speaker 8>back then, but he paid them off, you know, he

335
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:37.480
<v Speaker 8>tried to buy the orients with money that it's not

336
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 8>gonna work. What worked is what what what Trump did,

337
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 8>and that's gonna.

338
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 7>Continue to work.

339
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.680
<v Speaker 8>And that's what wakes them guys up. And they'll they'll

340
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:50.359
<v Speaker 8>realize it, you know, eventually because now they're coward. But

341
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:54.079
<v Speaker 8>it could be employee too, They could do it play impossible,

342
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.799
<v Speaker 8>who knows. We don't know that, right, but we.

343
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:00.519
<v Speaker 2>All we can do is look at the acts. And

344
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:04.839
<v Speaker 2>it seems to me that if they were not impacted,

345
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>if they were not hurt, Uh, they wouldn't be engaging

346
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.599
<v Speaker 2>in this sort of ceasefire activity. Uh. They're they're they're hurt.

347
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 2>They're hurting right now. And maybe maybe Uh, this is

348
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.359
<v Speaker 2>a time in which they will come to the table

349
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:21.079
<v Speaker 2>with clean hands and some sort of a deal could

350
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:22.759
<v Speaker 2>be worked. I don't know. If not, they're going to

351
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 2>get hit again.

352
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't know. These guys don't have that.

353
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.680
<v Speaker 8>They have an agenda.

354
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Remember, Oh, I.

355
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Know that, I know that.

356
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 5>But it could be there.

357
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 2>It could be under the circumstances that like anything else.

358
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:43.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, if look if if you are under attack

359
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:48.400
<v Speaker 2>and you feel that that you are now outgunned, Uh,

360
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.640
<v Speaker 2>you could choose two things you could choose, I guess

361
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:58.279
<v Speaker 2>political suicide and or or you can try to salvage

362
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.960
<v Speaker 2>your situation. I think they're in a tough spot to

363
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.880
<v Speaker 2>be really honest with you.

364
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's that's a certain sure idea. Yeah, but I

365
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 8>agree with it. I like your analogy on the on

366
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:15.759
<v Speaker 8>the diet though, well, I agree with you. I agree

367
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.759
<v Speaker 8>with I'm the same way Dan, I watch it all.

368
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.359
<v Speaker 8>I don't take it all in. I don't follve that

369
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.880
<v Speaker 8>opinion on that laft, right. I see the truth. That's

370
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:29.519
<v Speaker 8>you know, three things in this life that will not

371
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 8>remain hidden. Along the sun, the moon, and the truth.

372
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 8>They're always going to come out.

373
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:38.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, I I I understand. And the other thing too,

374
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 2>is that you know I had I had a guest

375
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 2>on the other night who I know. He is a

376
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.720
<v Speaker 2>really interesting analyst. His name is Tatsu Ikeda. He writes

377
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:57.480
<v Speaker 2>for Substack, and he did a very interesting analysis on

378
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the comparative strengths of the two countries Israel and Iran

379
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:11.039
<v Speaker 2>UH and he concluded that Iran had some some military superiority,

380
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.839
<v Speaker 2>both in terms of the size of the nation, the

381
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:19.480
<v Speaker 2>land mass, the population, its ability to produce relatively low

382
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 2>cost missiles and the missile and the the the dome.

383
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.559
<v Speaker 2>The iron dome missiles that the Israelis were using were

384
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.119
<v Speaker 2>fairly much more expensive. And so I had a couple

385
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:36.200
<v Speaker 2>of people who were upset that I would have him

386
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 2>on the air because they they felt that his analysis

387
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>was wrong. Well, there's such keyboard warriors and they's so

388
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 2>they're so courageous with the keyboard to send me an

389
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.279
<v Speaker 2>email which I'm the only person who sees it, which

390
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 2>means it has no impact. You know, if you disagree

391
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.240
<v Speaker 2>with the guest that I have, call up and take

392
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the guest on good luck. Matter of fact, Tatsu on

393
00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Sunday was the first analyst that I saw who had

394
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 2>the the the video of the video of the the

395
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the trucks that had lined up a few days beforehand,

396
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:25.799
<v Speaker 2>which may have removed some of the materials from the

397
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 2>from these three sites. And so he's oftentimes ahead of

398
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the game. I don't know what God removed. I don't

399
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:35.319
<v Speaker 2>know what was removed. Some people said it might have

400
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 2>been dirt they were bringing. But the point is, in

401
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>order to do my show well, I have to be

402
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>able to listen to a variety of points of view.

403
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.200
<v Speaker 2>It's as simple as that.

404
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:45.839
<v Speaker 5>That's what I do.

405
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.960
<v Speaker 8>That's why I thank you jo Man and Man.

406
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:53.279
<v Speaker 7>And I agree.

407
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:58.960
<v Speaker 8>Those guys over there, the masade, they're invented way deep

408
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:01.799
<v Speaker 8>inside there. They've been there for years. We know that

409
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 8>they are like the Russians years ago, when you know,

410
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.680
<v Speaker 8>all the Russians are here, living here and all that,

411
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.880
<v Speaker 8>and look what happened now the Iron Kirk fell, right,

412
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.960
<v Speaker 8>So now we deal with something different from intelligence point

413
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 8>of view to the pod, they definitely have a hold

414
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:19.960
<v Speaker 8>on them.

415
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 7>I know that. Look so and I.

416
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 8>Wish them well, I wish it all just to go away.

417
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:29.039
<v Speaker 8>I've run the GPS, you know, and not you know,

418
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.119
<v Speaker 8>why do they want to continue to have dominance of

419
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:35.240
<v Speaker 8>going back to you know, the thirteenth century.

420
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean, look there there's a lot of

421
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.920
<v Speaker 2>hate going on over there. We have all of these wars.

422
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.160
<v Speaker 2>We have Indian Pakistan and each other's throats. We've had

423
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>problems for decades. And in Ireland between the Catholics and

424
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 2>the Protestants, and all around the world. You have your

425
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:57.880
<v Speaker 2>situations going on in Africa right now between uh poor

426
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:02.359
<v Speaker 2>nations and poor groups within nations. Sadly, but and and

427
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 2>we have it in the Middle East. But guess what.

428
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:08.880
<v Speaker 2>The Middle East has economic opportunities that no other region

429
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.480
<v Speaker 2>in the world has. And if some people in Iran

430
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 2>open their eyes and realize what could happen if they

431
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.599
<v Speaker 2>were cooperative not only with not only with Israel, but

432
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>with Saudi Arabia. Iran is an enemy of Saudi Arabia.

433
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:25.559
<v Speaker 2>They're an enemy of of the U a E there

434
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>are there, there were, an enemy of many of the states.

435
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 2>The only people that that Iran is friendly with is Hesbala.

436
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:35.480
<v Speaker 2>They've been wiped out Hamas. They're a bunch of terrorists,

437
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the hoodies who are firing weapons. And we can wipe

438
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.279
<v Speaker 2>them out tomorrow if we have to. They don't doubt.

439
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 8>Yes, absolutely, yeah they and that's why maybe they're waking up,

440
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:50.720
<v Speaker 8>you know, realize, uh, you know, we gotta do something that's.

441
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:53.240
<v Speaker 2>All right.

442
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 8>See, they're gonna get followed them. So let's hope. Let's

443
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:01.920
<v Speaker 8>hope we have a better world tomorrow then today. Ten

444
00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.240
<v Speaker 8>degrees for sure as I went through.

445
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:07.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, Steve talked to you on the call right now,

446
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.559
<v Speaker 2>all right, good night. I don't want to short change

447
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the next caller, So I'm going to take a quick

448
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:16.000
<v Speaker 2>break here a little earlier, Rob, if it's okay, a

449
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:18.319
<v Speaker 2>couple of minutes early. I got some open lines here,

450
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.319
<v Speaker 2>which on this topic is unacceptable. Six one, seven, two, five,

451
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.599
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty six one seven, nine three to one,

452
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:28.440
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty will get you on. I have open lines

453
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.880
<v Speaker 2>in both areas. Coming back on Nightside.

454
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>You're on Nightside with Dan Ray on w BZ, Boston's

455
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

456
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Alright, let me go to GEO and end over GEO.

457
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back next on Nightside. Thanks for calling in a

458
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 2>little earlier than you usually do.

459
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 7>Go ahead, Rio, Hello Dan.

460
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:51.720
<v Speaker 9>Uh the source of information is should go to the source.

461
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:57.960
<v Speaker 9>I did not read the papers of Israel yesterday or today,

462
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.039
<v Speaker 9>so I'm not informed in up to date. But the

463
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 9>best papers are the Times of Israel, Howrett's h A.

464
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:11.519
<v Speaker 9>R Etz I left out an r and the Jerusalem Posts.

465
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:16.680
<v Speaker 9>They usually have the real information and often it disagrees

466
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 9>with American newspapers dramatically. Now, as to the nuclear weapons,

467
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:29.920
<v Speaker 9>there's a group who was participating with Oppenheimer, and there

468
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 9>was a man named Edward Teller, and Teller spent his

469
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:39.119
<v Speaker 9>time visiting Oppenheimer and then going to Israel and talking

470
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:42.519
<v Speaker 9>to their scientists, and then going to Russia and talking

471
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:43.599
<v Speaker 9>to the Russian science.

472
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:48.480
<v Speaker 2>We're talking, by the way, we're talking at nineteen forties.

473
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:55.359
<v Speaker 9>Go ahead, yes, yes, So scientists are not like regular people.

474
00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.839
<v Speaker 9>Regular people have different things. Scientists are almost like a brotherhood.

475
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:04.200
<v Speaker 9>They're more interested in getting it right, and they're more

476
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:09.079
<v Speaker 9>interested in cooperating with other scientists than in cooperating with

477
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:14.000
<v Speaker 9>any particular country. So just how we invented, how we

478
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:19.039
<v Speaker 9>participated in inventing the nuclear weapon is the classic example

479
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 9>of that. Now, the Persian scientists in the two thousands,

480
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:31.319
<v Speaker 9>from two thousand and twenty ten, the Jet Propulsion Lab

481
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:35.799
<v Speaker 9>in California, which is our source of rocket technology, and

482
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:39.400
<v Speaker 9>they do other kinds of research as well. The chief

483
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:44.599
<v Speaker 9>scientist was an Iranian scientists, The head of the laboratory

484
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:50.880
<v Speaker 9>under Bush was an Iranian scientists, and other scientists working

485
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:54.920
<v Speaker 9>in California for ten years at the Jet Propulsion Lab.

486
00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:01.559
<v Speaker 9>Then they retired at any rate. Teller also spoke to

487
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:06.279
<v Speaker 9>people who were speaking to Iranian scientists in the nineteen forties.

488
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:13.279
<v Speaker 9>My conclusion is that Iran, if they Israel has had

489
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:17.599
<v Speaker 9>there's a group in Cambridge called the Union of Concerned.

490
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're very familiar with them, very familiar with that group.

491
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.920
<v Speaker 2>The point you were making about the Iranian scientist and

492
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you said your conclusion was, I didn't hear your conclusion.

493
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:28.359
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

494
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:35.920
<v Speaker 9>My conclusion was and is that all these people knew

495
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:42.160
<v Speaker 9>how to make a nuclear weapon in nineteen sixty The

496
00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:46.359
<v Speaker 9>only one who has never produced a weapon, perhaps because

497
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:52.400
<v Speaker 9>of their religious feelings. We're trying to make them not

498
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 9>a religious so that they will actually participate. The only

499
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:02.519
<v Speaker 9>one for sixty years is who has not used the

500
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.119
<v Speaker 9>lab to produce a weapon is Iran.

501
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.200
<v Speaker 2>But they've been so that's the point. Is the point,

502
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the ability to.

503
00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:15.640
<v Speaker 9>Do it, but they don't have an incentive to do it. Well,

504
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:18.519
<v Speaker 9>for GEO.

505
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Look, you went three four minutes here on a speech,

506
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:24.839
<v Speaker 2>which is great. But I think your conclusion. Yeah, you've

507
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.440
<v Speaker 2>gone three forty four right now. Okay, what I'm telling

508
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:31.039
<v Speaker 2>you is I think your conclusion. We don't do speeches,

509
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:34.480
<v Speaker 2>we do conversations. I think your conclusion is wrong. They

510
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.960
<v Speaker 2>have been trying to make they have centrifuges, they have

511
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 2>enriched uranium. They've been trying to make a weapon for years.

512
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:46.359
<v Speaker 9>That's why centrifuges have nothing to do with making a weapon.

513
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:50.119
<v Speaker 2>They have everything to do with what's making a weapon without?

514
00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Can you make can you make it a weapon without?

515
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Can you make can you make nuclear weapons without centrifugions?

516
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:06.319
<v Speaker 9>You don't need centrifuge. Just make the material, the material, make.

517
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:11.359
<v Speaker 2>A nuclear weapons around, Geo, it's material. Okay. I don't

518
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 2>want to get into I don't want to get into cousin.

519
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Around the world.

520
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't care about your cousin, Leo. Put your cousin

521
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:23.119
<v Speaker 2>on the phone, Geo. I gotta go, man, I gotta go, Geo.

522
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:27.279
<v Speaker 2>I tried to be as you called early, which I appreciate,

523
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 2>and I tried to give you a wide berth. But

524
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:34.279
<v Speaker 2>you've taken me from Edward Teller. Uh and uh, you

525
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:36.720
<v Speaker 2>know in the nineteen forties to then, and you're telling

526
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.720
<v Speaker 2>me that Iran doesn't want to make a nuclear weapon.

527
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>You're absolutely wrong. You're absolutely wrong. If they could have

528
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:48.839
<v Speaker 2>said at any point, at any point, uh GEO, in

529
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the last ten years, in the last twenty years, we

530
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 2>have no interest. We will allow inspectors to come in

531
00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:59.240
<v Speaker 2>at unannounced times, which they have not been doing. They're

532
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.920
<v Speaker 2>now saying they will will not allow inspectors to come in.

533
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Of course, they want a nuclear weapon. They have said

534
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:06.279
<v Speaker 2>they want to destroy Israel.

535
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:13.239
<v Speaker 9>Israel has never been inspected in sixty years. Kennedy insisted

536
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:13.480
<v Speaker 9>on it.

537
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I will trust Israel, Uh with my life. I

538
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:23.559
<v Speaker 2>would not trust uh Iran with your life.

539
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 9>I would trust the people of Israel with my life.

540
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:34.039
<v Speaker 9>I would not trust Benjamin Netanyan, and neither was most Israelis.

541
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:37.000
<v Speaker 9>Neither would mostralis Israelis.

542
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Why did they keep electing him prime minister?

543
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:43.400
<v Speaker 9>Jail because they have eight political parties and manipulation.

544
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I see, Okay, good, all right, thanks Gio, thanks very much.

545
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:48.480
<v Speaker 2>It was what you wanted to do was attack net

546
00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Yahoo from the beginning. You should have gone right for it.

547
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Go right for it. Don't don't telling me about Edward

548
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:54.800
<v Speaker 2>he lived.

549
00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:56.800
<v Speaker 9>I knew him when he lived in Boston.

550
00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:57.639
<v Speaker 1>He was different, you know.

551
00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you'll do me a favor. Give him a

552
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:02.400
<v Speaker 2>call and bring him on the show and we'll have

553
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a debate. Okay, thanks, thanks to you. I appreciate it.

554
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows he lived in Boston, that's true. Glenn and Brighton, Glenn,

555
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:09.320
<v Speaker 2>welcome back.

556
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 5>How are you well? I'm depressed, And he said, it's

557
00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:17.199
<v Speaker 5>angry at the same time because now this, if this

558
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:21.480
<v Speaker 5>piece Deill holds, Trump would have won me over what

559
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:25.440
<v Speaker 5>he did Saturday. But I Saturday, when I heard, you know,

560
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:29.320
<v Speaker 5>after voting for him for rest in my own business,

561
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:32.000
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to sneak past security and give him a spanking.

562
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:35.880
<v Speaker 5>Can't give him over my knee with good luck with that. No,

563
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:39.079
<v Speaker 5>I know it's not going to happen. But yep, okay,

564
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:43.079
<v Speaker 5>well you know what I'm saying. I just I you know,

565
00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:45.159
<v Speaker 5>if I don't want him in peace, I don't want

566
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.800
<v Speaker 5>him in jail. If he could run again, i'd vote

567
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:50.400
<v Speaker 5>for him. But I just now, I just hope he

568
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:53.159
<v Speaker 5>doesn't own spebe because of this. Well, I had your back.

569
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Now you can't. I was hoping we'd just let b

570
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:56.440
<v Speaker 5>Be finish the job.

571
00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sorry that it hasn't worked out for you.

572
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:03.519
<v Speaker 2>To be honest with you, I was hoping the Red

573
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Sox will win the World Series. So I can understand

574
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:12.480
<v Speaker 2>feelings of disappointment GEO this, yeah, But all I'm just

575
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.000
<v Speaker 2>saying is that this situation is fluid. If the if

576
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:19.280
<v Speaker 2>the ceasefire holds great. If it doesn't hold, then then

577
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll deal with it. I think it is stunning that.

578
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it is stunning, and I think that it

579
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:29.480
<v Speaker 2>is so indicative of where we are tonight. I don't

580
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 2>need to see battle assessments because battle assessments don't exist

581
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:37.360
<v Speaker 2>at this point. This is not taking photographs from space

582
00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.719
<v Speaker 2>of the ground. This is three This is three hundred

583
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:46.039
<v Speaker 2>feet underground. The fact that Iran has engaged in a

584
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 2>cease fire with Israel voluntarily within forty eight hours of

585
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the attack on the nuclear sites is all I need

586
00:36:56.960 --> 00:37:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to know. It's all I need to know An. It's well,

587
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll say, I can't predict if it's going to hold.

588
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I don't know, but I can tell

589
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.320
<v Speaker 2>you this, it's hell for the last twelve hours. And

590
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:13.679
<v Speaker 2>that's a good thing. That is so no reason to

591
00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:14.880
<v Speaker 2>be depressed.

592
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.280
<v Speaker 5>No, I just don't want I just don't want Trump.

593
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:20.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, I held your bet. I don't want it

594
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.639
<v Speaker 5>to own baby because of you know what I mean.

595
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I think you're overthinking it, Glenn. But that's okay. You

596
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:27.800
<v Speaker 2>gotta do what you gotta do. Okay.

597
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:29.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm not trying to overthink.

598
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm just sometimes you don't, but sometimes you do. You

599
00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:37.199
<v Speaker 2>overthink and you don't realize it. Glenn. You and I

600
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:40.280
<v Speaker 2>are not players in this action. Okay, we are, Melia,

601
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:45.920
<v Speaker 2>are observers's and guess what we're better shaped today. Did

602
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you see what the stock market did today?

603
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:50.519
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't follow the stock market.

604
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Well I know you don't. The stock market was of

605
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:54.239
<v Speaker 2>about one one and a half percent across the board.

606
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:57.039
<v Speaker 2>That says to me that the money people in New

607
00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:00.400
<v Speaker 2>York are feeling pretty good about where we are from

608
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.679
<v Speaker 2>just a business point of view. Okay, And the Dow futures.

609
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to look for the Dow futures for you

610
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 2>right now and give you a sense as to where

611
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.360
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be tomorrow. I don't know what.

612
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:13.679
<v Speaker 5>This is another question.

613
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:18.480
<v Speaker 2>The dow are up a little bit tomorrow, so it's

614
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:22.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's there's some indecision or maybe they're peaked out.

615
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:26.559
<v Speaker 2>They're back. The scald market is doing very well, and

616
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:29.639
<v Speaker 2>that is an indicator that along with the fact that

617
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Iran wants to engage in peace talks or wants at

618
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.760
<v Speaker 2>least a cease fire. Maybe they're want peace talks at

619
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:36.760
<v Speaker 2>least a cease fire.

620
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:43.000
<v Speaker 5>I Okay, this may go good. I mean, I hope

621
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:43.320
<v Speaker 5>it does.

622
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:46.039
<v Speaker 2>I hope you're not depressed, Glenn, But you know what,

623

625
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.119

626
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:53.079
<v Speaker 2>What's the question? What's the question?

627
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:56.880
<v Speaker 5>Who gets to decide who can have nukes and who can't?

628
00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:00.079
<v Speaker 5>Like Israel, who can have But I thought that we

629
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:07.400
<v Speaker 5>decided by the World courtis.

630
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Decided by political power. China decided they want There are

631
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:16.880
<v Speaker 2>nine nations with nukes France, Germany, the United States, Russia, China, Pakistan, India, Israel,

632
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:20.679

<v Speaker 2>The most powerful nations in the world have nuclear weapons.

634
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Mali and uh and Nicaragua do not have nuclear weapons

635
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:32.079
<v Speaker 2>because they do not have the political power to possess

636
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:33.000
<v Speaker 2>nuclear weapons.
