Speaker 1: It's nice time with Dany.
Speaker 2: I'm doing you easy Boston News video.
Speaker 3: I'm listening to the rain coming down where I am
Speaker 3: and it is poor and is poor, and watching the
Speaker 3: weather forecast tonight, they said that the rain would come
Speaker 3: in bands, and that it would rain.
Speaker 1: Hard and then stop and rain hard and stop and
Speaker 1: then rain hard again. And boy, that is exactly what
Speaker 1: we're experiencing tonight. And I hope that all of you
Speaker 1: are safe and dry. And if you're out there driving,
Speaker 1: then I please, please, please, please be careful. We have
Speaker 1: some very loyal truck drivers out there, including my friend Steve,
Speaker 1: who drives a big eighteen rig up and down the
Speaker 1: East coast of America. Please take your time, give those
Speaker 1: truckers plenty of room because for them to stop on
Speaker 1: wet roads are much more difficult than stopping on dry roads.
Speaker 1: And you do not want to get into an accident
Speaker 1: with a big rig, that is for sure. So please
Speaker 1: just take it easy. Okay, we are, we'll pass through.
Speaker 1: We'll have some better weather next week. Just be patient
Speaker 1: and take your time. We are talking about the murder
Speaker 1: of these two members of the Israeli embassy in Washington again.
Speaker 1: This happened twenty four hours ago. There are a lot
Speaker 1: of rumors out on the web, and it's easy to
Speaker 1: google a name and come up with rumors. I want
Speaker 1: to have something that's certain. This guy, when he shot
Speaker 1: and killed these two young people, he somehow ended up
Speaker 1: walking into this museum, this Jewish museum, where people helped him.
Speaker 1: They thought he might have been a victim, and they
Speaker 1: were Jewish people associated with the museum who helped him,
Speaker 1: and actually at one point I think gave him water,
Speaker 1: I mean, and then I guess he pulled out of
Speaker 1: his pocket Katifah. I'm sure I'm pronouncing that incorrectly.
Speaker 4: That is the.
Speaker 1: Head scarf or headdress that you often see at these
Speaker 1: demonstrations that is associated with Hamas and Palestine. He of course,
Speaker 1: when he was first pulled into the building, he was screaming, free,
Speaker 1: free Palestine. We clearly know where his sentiments are, but
Speaker 1: who and what else he was affiliated where he worked
Speaker 1: for apparently for some organization most recently that had no political
Speaker 1: identification at all. But let's get it out there and
Speaker 1: when it's confirmed. I'm just not going to take and
Speaker 1: again with apologies to Mike, I'm not not letting anyone
Speaker 1: use this station as a rebroadcast facility for other broadcasts.
Speaker 1: Tell me that you see something on one of the
Speaker 1: nightly network newscast or see it in the Washington Post
Speaker 1: or the New York Times of the Boston Globe, then
Speaker 1: I'm going to be pretty certain that it's accurate. But
Speaker 1: just because you see it on some news channel that
Speaker 1: have clearly a point of view and to bias, they
Speaker 1: can be right, there's no doubt about that, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to filter everything. If you call up and tell
Speaker 1: me that you've seen something from MSNBC, they can be
Speaker 1: right too, but I'm going to filter that. And I'm
Speaker 1: just not going to allow people to come on and
Speaker 1: make claims about individuals anymore than I'll let people come
Speaker 1: on and make claims about people on either political spectrum.
Speaker 1: There are nut jobs on both sides of the political spectrums,
Speaker 1: far right and far left in this country, and we
Speaker 1: all need to tone our language down a little bit
Speaker 1: so the we don't encourage these people. These people are
Speaker 1: looking for a cause, they're looking to be lionized, to
Speaker 1: become heroes. And I'm sure this guy is sitting there
Speaker 1: tonight and realizes maybe I don't know, or maybe he's
Speaker 1: just nuts. Anybody that would shoot down two people in
Speaker 1: cold blood is by definition nuts. In my opinion, they may, however,
Speaker 1: be liable for their crimes because my reference to what
Speaker 1: is nuts and what you might think of is nuts
Speaker 1: is not necessarily the standard that allows people to escape
Speaker 1: a conviction and or prosecution. He knew, he very well
Speaker 1: may have known. And when he stands there shouting free,
Speaker 1: free Palestine, there's his motive. So we now know his motive,
Speaker 1: and we now know what he did to effectuate that motive.
Speaker 1: I would again encourage people tonight to call and support
Speaker 1: of the State of Israel because what happened to the employees,
Speaker 1: to the to the young people who worked at the
Speaker 1: Israeli embassy in Washington should not have happened to anyone.
Speaker 1: Let me go next to I lean in Waltham. I
Speaker 1: lean you next on Nisaga right ahead.
Speaker 5: Good evening, Dea. I'm not gonna say too much, but
Speaker 5: if people really want to educate themselves about the history
Speaker 5: of Gaza and Palestine and all that, there's a great
Speaker 5: book written by Douglas Murray.
Speaker 6: He's a journalist.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: It's on democracies and death cultures, and it is for
Speaker 5: people who have questions.
Speaker 7: It really is.
Speaker 6: An eye opener, Okay, A terrific.
Speaker 5: Book is an easy read. It delineates so much and
Speaker 5: it helps expose a lot of the truth.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, and.
Speaker 5: I think we need it is the best way to
Speaker 5: do it, rather than just be talking about it.
Speaker 1: Well, that's fine. If you want to talk about what
Speaker 1: happened last night, I'll give you a quick comment.
Speaker 5: And if not, well, we've been encouraging this kind of
Speaker 5: thing and this we've been allowing this kind of hate
Speaker 5: and violence to just circulate in our country without taking
Speaker 5: any I think substantial measures to stop it. And that's
Speaker 5: what we're wishing the results of, not a recent but
Speaker 5: long term.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: Part of it is how do you identify something like this?
Speaker 1: The sad part about this last night was this guy
Speaker 1: apparently was outside and seen by individuals walking up and
Speaker 1: down in front of this Jewish museum, and no one
Speaker 1: I guess, called police or we are always told if
Speaker 1: you see something, say something, But then then conversely, people
Speaker 1: are accused of profiling someone. And I don't know this guy,
Speaker 1: I guess is you know Latino of some of some
Speaker 1: His name is Rodriguez, so It's not as if this
Speaker 1: guy was was wearing a Palestinian headscarf as he was walking,
Speaker 1: had it in his pocket, but somewhat at some point
Speaker 1: I think should have seen something and said, wait a second,
Speaker 1: what is going on here? It's the American Jewish Community
Speaker 1: Committee holding a reception for young diplomats at the Capitol
Speaker 1: Jewish Museum. I mean we should have should have the
Speaker 1: security been tighter? Yeah, I think so, I think.
Speaker 7: A little bit lax.
Speaker 5: You can't go out and call him anything, but you
Speaker 5: can go out and mesh to help you.
Speaker 1: Well you know, yeah, I mean I mean just just yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: there should have been people there who should have gone
Speaker 1: over to him and say, gee, can you know, can
Speaker 1: we help you and then see what is reaction is
Speaker 1: and obviously if he has a reaction that's violent, then
Speaker 1: then you deal with it. But boy, I mean, those
Speaker 1: people walked out of that event and they were dead
Speaker 1: in a matter of seconds and their lives were ended.
Speaker 1: And this guy also threw his life away as well.
Speaker 2: So I mean I think we have to.
Speaker 6: All be more alert. That's all you got it.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Island, thank you.
Speaker 5: Should we have to shut our cell phones off sometimes
Speaker 5: and get out there and see what's going on in
Speaker 5: our own world.
Speaker 1: That's so true. That is so true, Eileen. I appreciates
Speaker 1: your call. Thank you. Six one seven two five four
Speaker 1: ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty. Again,
Speaker 1: I would like to encourage those of you who normally
Speaker 1: don't call an talk show to join the conversation. Uh.
Speaker 1: Two lines just filled up. We have four lines full,
Speaker 1: which is fine. We'll keep rolling. When I get back.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with Joe and Bob and these
Speaker 1: other two callers. I have one line at six months,
Speaker 1: seven nine three one ten thirty. If you don't denounce
Speaker 1: this so of violence, We've seen too much of it
Speaker 1: in this country. If you don't denounce this sort of violence,
Speaker 1: then I think you are tacitly condoning it. That's my belief.
Speaker 1: So feel free to join the conversation. Six thirty. Coming
Speaker 1: right back on night Side.
Speaker 2: It's night Side, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: Let's keep rolling here, going next to Joe Belmont, Joe
Speaker 1: next on Nightsicker, right ahead, Dan.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 9: I want to be one of your calls that condemned
Speaker 9: the DC killings, is uh, And I want to tell
Speaker 9: you that I admire you for your fight against anti Semitism.
Speaker 9: And also I think the Palestinian people should overthrow the
Speaker 9: Hamas government.
Speaker 1: Well, I would hope that would happen. I would also
Speaker 1: say that in in Gaza, the only people who have
Speaker 1: weapons are Hamas and it's you know, it's it's not
Speaker 1: easy to have a revolution when the only people that
Speaker 1: you're going to revolt against the people with all the weapons,
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying, they're in a tough
Speaker 1: They're in a tough spot. I mean, all those weapons
Speaker 1: have been supplied by countries like Iran uh and Hamas
Speaker 1: is not sharing the weapons amongst the populace.
Speaker 9: That's it, Dan, thank you.
Speaker 1: My pleasure, Thank you, my friend. We'll talk soon. Have
Speaker 1: a great Bob. Thank you. Let me go next to
Speaker 1: Bob in Rainom. Bob, you were next on nights. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you calling.
Speaker 10: Hey, Dan, how's it going, good sir?
Speaker 1: What's your what's your take on what has transpired in
Speaker 1: the last now twenty six hours.
Speaker 10: So, first of all, my hot breaks for the parents
Speaker 10: and the friends and sam of these kids and in
Speaker 10: cases like this, and I even go back to the
Speaker 10: Boston Marathon bomba which the guy is still alive in
Speaker 10: a prison. Somehow these cases have to be brought to
Speaker 10: the forefront of all litigation. And in my opinion, this
Speaker 10: kid shot, this guy that perpetrated this henous attack should
Speaker 10: be tried, convicted, and executed as quickly as possible, and
Speaker 10: hope and possibly that would be a determine for other
Speaker 10: such acts to happen.
Speaker 1: Well, I would agree with you, but even for those
Speaker 1: who would argue it wouldn't be a determined he would
Speaker 1: never do this again. I concur Now again, when you
Speaker 1: commit a capital crime in the nation's capital and the
Speaker 1: federal federal government has as the death penalty, we don't
Speaker 1: have it in Massachusetts. So I'd like to see how
Speaker 1: this works out. But I also would like to see
Speaker 1: what I think you've heard the phrase justice delayed is
Speaker 1: justice denied. Well, if this guy is sentenced to death,
Speaker 1: I think that his appeal should be dealt with quickly,
Speaker 1: and if there's no substance to his appeal, justice denied.
Speaker 1: Is justice delayed? Is justice denied? And I think he
Speaker 1: will deserve some justice.
Speaker 10: And if I could follow up a little bit on
Speaker 10: you know, what's going on on the college campuses, it
Speaker 10: sounds like it's died down a little bit. But for
Speaker 10: any dean or chancellor or whatever they are, to allow
Speaker 10: any intimidation of any student, regardless of whatever, race, religion, whatever,
Speaker 10: on their campus where they're obligated to take care of
Speaker 10: every student on that campus, is a disgrace. If these
Speaker 10: people want to go protests, say down on Boston, Carmen
Speaker 10: or somewhere, that's one thing. But for a chancellor to
Speaker 10: allow any type of intimidation to any of their students
Speaker 10: on their campus, they should they they should be they
Speaker 10: should be removed as chancellor, and the kids that do
Speaker 10: this to any other kid on that student on that
Speaker 10: campus should be dealt with accordingly as well.
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean yeah, I mean there's if there's
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world where physical violence should not exist,
Speaker 1: it should be theoretically in a college campus. And I
Speaker 1: think that's while some of these colleges, particularly Columbia, have
Speaker 1: gotten themselves into serious trouble here. Uh and and and
Speaker 1: Colombia has been a snake pit uh and and I
Speaker 1: think that they're going to pay a price. I think
Speaker 1: that the response to Harvard is a little over the top,
Speaker 1: to be really very honest with you, uh that's my
Speaker 1: my belief in it. I think Harvard has tried recently
Speaker 1: to uh to to maybe pull back a little bit,
Speaker 1: but for some reason, the Trump administration really has their
Speaker 1: their site set on.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 10: I don't know, I I I'm glad that that is happening,
Speaker 10: and it should be happening to more campuses, probably like
Speaker 10: you said, Columbia and whatever. But again, no kids should
Speaker 10: have to fail walking any inch of a college campusant intimidation.
Speaker 1: All right, Bob, thank you so much. We'll talk soon. Okay,
Speaker 1: as the has the rain stopped in rain them yet
Speaker 1: or no.
Speaker 10: It's not brutal right now, but it's it's still raining.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you. Let me go to Priscilla in Newtonville.
Speaker 1: Pascilla you and next on nicside, welcome, Where or where
Speaker 1: has Priscilla gone? Well, Rob, let's put Priscilla on hold
Speaker 1: and try to come back to her Ron and Newton.
Speaker 1: Ron you're next on nightsid gor ahead, Ron.
Speaker 7: Hi, Dan, thank you so much for having this. I
Speaker 7: this is very upsetting and disheartening and depressing. I first,
Speaker 7: my full prayers go out for their families and them,
Speaker 7: but I think they're part of our family as well.
Speaker 7: Part of part of our what could have been a
Speaker 7: promising future. I'd like to there are a couple. I
Speaker 7: don't know that I have the answers, but I just wonder.
Speaker 7: As I read the New York Times, I didn't see
Speaker 7: anything for quite a few pages. As I read the
Speaker 7: Boston Globe, that wasn't When I finally I had to,
Speaker 7: I get the most information from Wall Street Journal, and
Speaker 7: I wonder. I have a couple of things about his
Speaker 7: activism in two seventeen, where he started to go fund
Speaker 7: me raising money to send him to the people of
Speaker 7: Congress of Resistance. I never knew there was such a thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of these
Speaker 1: groups that exist, and before they sort of reach a
Speaker 1: level of mass, you know, a critical mass, they disappear.
Speaker 1: You know, people form organizations and they and they go away,
Speaker 1: and they have people now feel that if they started
Speaker 1: gofund me page, that's the way in which they can
Speaker 1: make money. And there's a lot of scam going on
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know this guy worked for. It
Speaker 1: looked like an organization that was was non political. Clearly,
Speaker 1: this guy standing there in the doorway last night after
Speaker 1: he shot two innocent people, you know, yelling free, free Palestine.
Speaker 1: That's his motive. He wasn't, you know, talking about that's
Speaker 1: that you know again if he was talking about uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing this because I believe in in
Speaker 1: uh Kim Jong mun, the president of North Korea pretty clearly.
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is in an emotional moment. He's
Speaker 1: just killed two people and he's yelling. So we know
Speaker 1: where he's coming from politically. But I you know, let's
Speaker 1: let's let's get a background on him. Uh that that
Speaker 1: works for us to see what his what his politics are.
Speaker 1: I mean, he could be just somebody deranged. But it'll
Speaker 1: take a couple of days and hopefully we'll have a
Speaker 1: better a better take on where he's coming from politically. R.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I also read that he had addressed the Party
Speaker 7: for Socialism and Liberation regarding Chicago making efforts to attract
Speaker 7: second headquarters for Amazon, citing that we should not be
Speaker 7: a nation dominated by massive corporations.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: This guy, this guy, I think that there's enough evidence
Speaker 1: out there that he's some sort of a socialist, But
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that everyone who's a socialist would engage
Speaker 1: in this sort of activity. And I just think that
Speaker 1: there are people who affiliate with different causes on different
Speaker 1: sides of the political spectrum. And what happens is that
Speaker 1: whenever there's somebody who has some sort of a right
Speaker 1: wing background, the media on the left wants to say, well,
Speaker 1: that guy represents everybody who's to the right of center,
Speaker 1: which is not true. And I don't want to have
Speaker 1: that happen here. Let's see, he could be just he
Speaker 1: could be just a loner. I mean, who had no idea.
Speaker 1: I still want to know. And here's the thing that's interesting, Ryn,
Speaker 1: I still have yet to see a good explanation of
Speaker 1: the guy that took the potshot at President Obama in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I know. And the last question that
Speaker 7: I don't have an answer to is how did he
Speaker 7: fly with the gun? How did he get by the TSA?
Speaker 1: Oh, this guy, the guy in Washington, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if there are ways. What
Speaker 1: it said is that he flew into Washington with it.
Speaker 1: But come back to my point, the guy, the kid,
Speaker 1: the twenty year old kid. I want to know more
Speaker 1: about him. Was he just a nutjob or did he
Speaker 1: have some support? That's you know. I'm I'm as interested
Speaker 1: in that as I am in this guy Rodriguez. He's
Speaker 1: he's only been on the radar screen for what twenty
Speaker 1: six hours. The kid in Butler, Pennsylvania, we've known about
Speaker 1: him since he was shot dead last July. So he's
Speaker 1: been on the radar screen what for ten months, and
Speaker 1: we know nothing about him. I'm not trying to mix
Speaker 1: things up here. I'm not trying to make a statement.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that sometimes it takes a while to
Speaker 1: come up with the background, and I would want to
Speaker 1: know more about the guy in Pennsylvania than I even
Speaker 1: want to know about this guy last night. I think
Speaker 1: we're going to find this guy last night was a nutjob.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, they probably are both nut jobs. But
Speaker 1: I want to know if any of these nut jobs
Speaker 1: have help. That's you know, that's that's what. Now we
Speaker 1: have a you know, we have a new FBI director,
Speaker 1: a new FBI in power. Let's let them give them
Speaker 1: a chance to do their thing, and they should be
Speaker 1: able to come out with something pretty definitive on this
Speaker 1: guy last night, particularly in view of the fact that
Speaker 1: he's killing representatives of people who are working in the
Speaker 1: embassy of a foreign country. This is this is crazy
Speaker 1: to me. I don't know, Ron, I'm up on my break.
Speaker 1: I've taken a lot of your time, and but I
Speaker 1: appreciate you so much. Thanks, buddy, talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: All right, now, all of a sudden, I got some
Speaker 1: open lines, folks. Here are the lot. Here's the number.
Speaker 1: Six one seven, two, five, four to ten thirty six
Speaker 1: one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 1: If you don't want to talk about this, that's fine.
Speaker 1: But I can't imagine that on this night, after the
Speaker 1: death of these two innocent young people who happened to work,
Speaker 1: happen to work for the Israeli embassy in Washington, D C.
Speaker 1: And for having the audacity to work for the Israeli embassy,
Speaker 1: their lives were cut down in Washington, D C. I
Speaker 1: assume an American citizen, is that what it's coming to
Speaker 1: in this country? Six one seven, four ten thirty six
Speaker 1: one seven nine three one ten thirty. Coming right back
Speaker 1: on Nightside.
Speaker 2: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: All right, I got open lines here, folks, And I'm
Speaker 1: not a happy camper on that, that's for sure. If
Speaker 1: you've never called this program, and particularly if you're young,
Speaker 1: if you're the age and you're listening tonight, of these
Speaker 1: two innocent people who happen to work in the Israeli
Speaker 1: embassy in Washington, who now are dead, their lives are ended.
Speaker 1: Just think about this, you know. I again. I know
Speaker 1: you can get excited about a Taylor Swift album. I
Speaker 1: get that, okay, but the reality is you're you're never
Speaker 1: going to meet Taylor Swift. But this is these are
Speaker 1: two people who are close to your age, and they
Speaker 1: had the same dreams and aspirations that you have. I
Speaker 1: can't understand why my listeners can't associate themselves, and it's
Speaker 1: frustrating to be really honest with you. I uh, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you. I get one line at six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty that's just oh, that's just filled. Which is great.
Speaker 1: But if you've never called this program before, and if
Speaker 1: you're a twenty something or a thirty something, I'd love
Speaker 1: to know what you think. Here. This this guy last night,
Speaker 1: this killer ended their lives and for all intents and purposes,
Speaker 1: ended his life. Six one, seven, nine three thirty. Christine,
Speaker 1: I know you can understand what I'm talking about. Welcome.
Speaker 1: How are you.
Speaker 10: I'm good, How are you upset?
Speaker 13: Yes, I am too. Curse off. My heart goes out
Speaker 13: to their families and to the both of them. It's
Speaker 13: so so sad. I don't understand what world we're coming to.
Speaker 13: I really don't. It's just I don't know.
Speaker 6: So sad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's it's hateful, it's anti Uh. This guy
Speaker 1: was obviously hates Israel, hates you. Why would he kill
Speaker 1: two people outside a museum. Uh, that's a Jewish he
Speaker 1: went there. He's got a Humus headdressed in his pocket,
Speaker 1: and he's got a gun, and and no one even
Speaker 1: thought to go out to him and saying, hey, buddy,
Speaker 1: what's going on? We see you walking up and down here.
Speaker 1: You know nobody.
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 1: I mean the guy in New York who killed the
Speaker 1: coward in New York, Manngioni, who shot the guy in
Speaker 1: the back in New York. It happened at six forty
Speaker 1: five in the morning. Yeah, no one was awake, and
Speaker 1: and he obviously knew this guy was coming there too
Speaker 1: for the Soakhold to meeting. Anyway, it's frustrating, it's really
Speaker 1: frustrat Nobody.
Speaker 13: Wants to stake up nobody wants you know, nobody says anything. Nobody.
Speaker 13: I didn't see it happened. Nope, I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that. It doesn't impact me. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, if if these these are two young people,
Speaker 1: this is not look Donald Trump's. You know, when you
Speaker 1: stand out in your candidate for president of the United
Speaker 1: States and some nutjob takes a shot at you, it's
Speaker 1: not unexpected because there are and that's why they have
Speaker 1: Secret Service to prevent that. And secret Service probably fell
Speaker 1: down and failed Donald Trump last July in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: But you can't have secret service for a couple of
Speaker 1: people who work at a at a as diplomats or
Speaker 1: in a diplomatic staff in uh at an Israel embassy.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's it's frustrating. And again, I just
Speaker 1: think that so many people are more concerned about Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift's gonna release a new album. Oh that's so great,
Speaker 1: it's gonna make gonna make my life, or well they're
Speaker 1: concerned about, well, the Red Sox are one game under
Speaker 1: five hundred. I'm a sports guy, but this is what
Speaker 1: we should be talking about.
Speaker 13: I'm worried about violence is what I'm worried about the world.
Speaker 13: I mean, I don't know, it's awful.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 13: Why can't we all just be in peace and get
Speaker 13: along and stop all this? And I hate to say this, Dan,
Speaker 13: I know it. You're you know the media. Yeah, I
Speaker 13: think some of the media goes too far reporting it,
Speaker 13: reporting it. It's some of this has to stop.
Speaker 1: Well, you can't ignore something like this, that's for sure,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 13: I mean, it's just you know, about violent I think
Speaker 13: they just say, you know, I mean some of these
Speaker 13: movies that they you know, these violent movies, Well that's.
Speaker 1: A whole that's a great topic for discussion. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean because people get anesthetized to it almost and that
Speaker 1: you know, twenty seven people are killed in the opening credits,
Speaker 1: and it's like, well really.
Speaker 10: I mean yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: As well as the video games boom boom boom boom
Speaker 1: boom Pop hoop hoop. You know, you want to play
Speaker 1: a video game pop pop pop pop pol join the military.
Speaker 1: They'll give you real guns and maybe they'll put you
Speaker 1: in a war zone and you can you can shoot
Speaker 1: people for real.
Speaker 13: Now, did you here something last night? There was somebody
Speaker 13: shot at the CIA building around the Thursday this morning,
Speaker 13: early morning, late.
Speaker 1: Last night, there was a car. I believe that they
Speaker 1: tried to reach one of the gates. That's the only
Speaker 1: thing I saw, and I think that.
Speaker 5: That individual one.
Speaker 1: Well, again, there were nutty people in our society. Okay,
Speaker 1: there were ninety. There's three hundred and thirty million people.
Speaker 1: We're not all, you know, all of our acts aren't together.
Speaker 1: Let's put it like that. Christine, thanks for calling. We'll
Speaker 1: talk soon. Thank you.
Speaker 13: Those two young kids said, we're supposed to get engaged
Speaker 13: this weekend. It's just so sad, sad.
Speaker 1: Thanks Christine, talk to you soon. Let me go next
Speaker 1: to John em Ploymouth. John, thanks for calling in.
Speaker 11: Go right ahead, Hi, Dan, thanks for devoting so much
Speaker 11: time to this issue tonight. I think it is so troubling,
Speaker 11: and yeah, we do live in these hateful times that
Speaker 11: maybe the guy's crazy, but I think that a lot
Speaker 11: of evil comes from people who are just so sure
Speaker 11: they're right and big ideas, you know, before their humanity,
Speaker 11: and they live in these kind of theoretical universes and
Speaker 11: they forget that there are other people, you know, and
Speaker 11: they're so sure they're right. And I'm disturbed because I'm A.
Speaker 11: I'm in your generation, but I have sons in their
Speaker 11: thirties and they're into the social media scene and everything,
Speaker 11: and I see the stuff that they're exposed to. And
Speaker 11: I'm not Jewish myself. I always kind of thought any
Speaker 11: Semitism was disappearing, you know, it's not. It's very much
Speaker 11: resurgent with this poisonous stuff. There's some guy named Nick
Speaker 11: Founties who has seven hundred and twenty five thousand followers,
Speaker 11: mostly young guys. I think, yes, because Jewish awere, you know,
Speaker 11: and it's getting cool now to start saying, you know
Speaker 11: all those old tropes about all the anti Semitic flies
Speaker 11: and Holocaust denile and I you know, of course this
Speaker 11: is where it leads. You know. A.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the problem, because they engage in this. They're ignorant,
Speaker 1: number one. They they're ignorant of history. I spent a
Speaker 1: day in Auschwitz in nineteen eighty six. You're not going
Speaker 1: to tell me that that that And of course I've
Speaker 1: seen all the videotapes and you know, I'm enough. I
Speaker 1: understand what happened, and it never and I'm not Jewish.
Speaker 1: I happen to be Catholic. But but this this could
Speaker 1: never happen again, and there are people in this country
Speaker 1: and in this world who would like to see it
Speaker 1: happen again, and it has to. You know, ever again,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean by that?
Speaker 11: And I do, And yeah, I mean we used to
Speaker 11: have sort of some shared ideals and kind of a
Speaker 11: sense of public morality. And I think maybe I've learned
Speaker 11: the Left for this to some degree. It gets so
Speaker 11: overbearing in some ways that I think young people today
Speaker 11: feel this desire to rebel against it, but then they
Speaker 11: see something like any Semitism because it's because it's new
Speaker 11: and rebellious and it's sick.
Speaker 1: Boy, I'll tell you, I think I think you're right
Speaker 1: on the money and and and people. Again, I appreciate
Speaker 1: your calling it. And I don't know if you've called
Speaker 1: my show before, but I would hope that you'd continue
Speaker 1: to call my show because I need to hear I
Speaker 1: need to hear voices from all ages, all backgrounds. If
Speaker 1: we can't announced what happened last night, then then we're
Speaker 1: all in trouble. Simple as that.
Speaker 11: I agreed, Jan agreed.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, John, keep listening, keep calling, Thank
Speaker 1: you much. We'll be back. Six one, seven, four ten
Speaker 1: thirty one line there and one line at six one, seven,
Speaker 1: nine thirty were coming right back on night side.
Speaker 2: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WAZ Boston's
Speaker 2: news radio.
Speaker 1: So everyone is calling late, filling the lines here. I'm
Speaker 1: going to try to move people as quickly as I can.
Speaker 1: Glenn and Bright and your next Glenn, go right ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got two quick things. Number one, I think
Speaker 4: this reminds me of doing Roof. I know that was
Speaker 4: white on black. Yeah, he goes to this black church.
Speaker 4: He's behaved for an hour, he's and then all of
Speaker 4: a sudden he produces a weapon. It just in cold
Speaker 4: blood starts.
Speaker 1: Yes, and and he had prayed with them, as you said,
Speaker 1: and then he went outside and came back in. Someone
Speaker 1: should have spotted this guy last night. But obviously that
Speaker 1: twenty twenty hindsight is fine. Uh, we're not going to
Speaker 1: bring the lives of these people back. But they tell
Speaker 1: us if you see something, say something. But remember there
Speaker 1: was a period of time, Glenn. If you said something
Speaker 1: and it was of a of a group, well were
Speaker 1: you were? You were you profiling that person? You know?
Speaker 4: That's what people are afraid of. That's my second thing.
Speaker 4: I mean the reason people don't say something is they
Speaker 4: don't want to be called a racist or it's you know,
Speaker 4: transfer over or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, yeah, absolutely, that's the reason.
Speaker 4: I'm do you remember when that Professor Gates was breaking
Speaker 4: down dated his door because I don't know it, and
Speaker 4: this woman across the street called the cops and they said,
Speaker 4: what what does he look like? And she said he's
Speaker 4: a black man or what she was called a racist
Speaker 4: by the liberal media.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And also the police officer who who I've met,
Speaker 1: Officer Crowley, is a very decent guy, and I think
Speaker 1: in that Gates was tired, he had flown I think
Speaker 1: home from from China, and you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't there, so I can't comment on what was done,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how much of a fuss he
Speaker 1: was making. But I think that Gates should have been
Speaker 1: a big enough person to have said, look, officer, I
Speaker 1: live here. I know Crowley. I met Crowley.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 1: He didn't strike me as somebody who was going to
Speaker 1: go up there and start a fight, and he should
Speaker 1: have been able to assess the situation. I wish I
Speaker 1: had a videotape. I don't know, and then I will
Speaker 1: tell you this that when President Obama brought Gates and
Speaker 1: Crowley to them, I had the beer summon. Gates brought,
Speaker 1: was was allowed to bring. I think up two bus
Speaker 1: loads of family and supporters. Crowley showed up with his
Speaker 1: wife and kids. Crowley told me later it was like,
Speaker 1: what's going on here? So anyway, I.
Speaker 4: Wish the woman that her first name was Lucy. I
Speaker 4: wish that she was invited to the beer summit.
Speaker 1: Well whatever, however, all right, thanks to thank I gotta
Speaker 1: rush you here a little bit. I'll get you sometime
Speaker 1: on Friday night. Thanks to you. All right, all right, goodnight.
Speaker 1: Let me go next to Bob and Lee and Bob
Speaker 1: you were next on Niziger Right a hit, Bob.
Speaker 8: Good evening, Dan, thank you for supporting what the atrocity
Speaker 8: that took place last night in the correct sense that is,
Speaker 8: I want I wanted to share with you one of
Speaker 8: your listeners who's from Israel. His name is David Silverman's
Speaker 8: a friend of mine who was originally from Boston. He
Speaker 8: wrote on social media. So last night to Israeli embassy
Speaker 8: personnel were gunned down at point blank range in front
Speaker 8: of the Jewish Museum. I'm sure By now most of
Speaker 8: you have heard about this in the morning's news. But
Speaker 8: before any of the crazies out there start screaming they
Speaker 8: deserved it, let me tell you a few things about
Speaker 8: these particular Israelis. They were about to be engaged to
Speaker 8: be married. The man was not a Jew, but a
Speaker 8: German Christian who fell in love with Israel and emigrated
Speaker 8: to Israel years ago. The woman was very active in
Speaker 8: a co Israeli Palestinian group called Tech to Peace. His
Speaker 8: son belongs and works with that group here in Israel,
Speaker 8: and they are a young, dynamic group of Palestinians and
Speaker 8: Israel's Israelis that work together on high tech and research projects,
Speaker 8: trying to find solutions together.
Speaker 1: She's from Kansas. She's an American from Kansas, as I
Speaker 1: understand that. And again I'll get more on this tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: But everything you've said so far I've seen reported and
Speaker 1: is accurate.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So my heart goes out to the family's friends,
Speaker 8: those who knew them. It's such a disgrace not only
Speaker 8: of this particular instance, but it seems to be a
Speaker 8: trend not only here in the United States but around
Speaker 8: the world, and it's going to stop.
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. Bob appreciated you said
Speaker 1: it well and you said it succinctly, and I hope
Speaker 1: you call the show more often.
Speaker 11: Thank you, Thank you, Den.
Speaker 1: Talk to you soon, David san Antonio, Dave want to
Speaker 1: get you at least one more in as well. Go ahead, Dave.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you knew you'd give me or this throw when
Speaker 6: you said President Obaba got shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: If I said that, I'm sorry, that's you know, when
Speaker 1: you're doing four hours a night, I president. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: thank you. If I said that, I appreciate you correcting
Speaker 1: me on it, because every once in a while, all
Speaker 1: of us can have a mistatement. Obviously, talking about President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump than Canada, well.
Speaker 6: I'm probably more Jewish than most of those people that
Speaker 6: got shot there at the embassy. But I'm not angry
Speaker 6: at that fool that shot. I'm angry at this world
Speaker 6: that's brainwashing these people and they're doing what they're doing.
Speaker 6: Whoever in this world, these all these media people and
Speaker 6: these politicians and everything. They're lying through their teeth to
Speaker 6: these people. They're making them crazy with hatred, and they
Speaker 6: need to be dealt with. Fight Iiden, didn't make all
Speaker 6: those decisions. Who made them?
Speaker 1: Right? But but but I don't know that. We'll always say,
Speaker 1: you know, look, there are people out there who are provocateurs, uh.
Speaker 1: And they are on the far left and they are
Speaker 1: on the far right. There's anti semitism on both ends
Speaker 1: of the spectrum. I don't think that people. But but
Speaker 1: to slide to people who were on Biden's staff uh
Speaker 1: as being anti semitic profit profit profile.
Speaker 6: No, not anti semitic. I'm saying some of the wacky
Speaker 6: decisions he's made, he didn't make them a dark board.
Speaker 4: For what right.
Speaker 1: But that's a different issue, Dave. You're mixing two issues.
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about people out there who
Speaker 1: are making provocative statements on the far left of the
Speaker 1: far right and and feeding minds that that are accepting it,
Speaker 1: that that's that's that's that's fine. But whoever was we've
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, Biden and who was running the country,
Speaker 1: that that separate issue. Pretty issue, that's all Please do
Speaker 1: it right?
Speaker 6: Don't this that that kid that did to kill it?
Speaker 6: I mean, there's so many of them out there, there
Speaker 6: are brainwashing these lies and all right, got.
Speaker 1: It, I got it, all right? Thanks, Dave, I got
Speaker 1: your points, you get you made it. Thanks for the correction. Uh, Lola, Lola,
Speaker 1: you're gonna wrap it up for me tonight. And I
Speaker 1: thought about you this morning when I saw that plane crash.
Speaker 1: I hope that your house was not near the crash.
Speaker 12: Well six miles away in that airport, I get the
Speaker 12: planes that are taken off.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I know. I know the San Diego. I
Speaker 1: know the San Diego. I know the San Diego Airport
Speaker 1: very well. It's a tough airport to fly into. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you this.
Speaker 12: Isn't no, this isn't the major airport. This is a
Speaker 12: little airport about ten miles away from downtown.
Speaker 1: Okay. Then then it was not reported that way. I
Speaker 1: watched it tonight on the news, and I assumed it was.
Speaker 12: The San Diego.
Speaker 1: But that's not what you're calling, right, That's not what
Speaker 1: you're calling about, is it. I took you off, go ahead.
Speaker 12: So I did see something and I did say something.
Speaker 12: When I was at the beach, I saw some immigrants
Speaker 12: that were not in beach attire and had big backpacks
Speaker 12: on their backs, and they were walking, and I called
Speaker 12: the life guard to tell them and He's like, are
Speaker 12: they doing anything wrong? I go, well, they're not dressed
Speaker 12: to be at the beach. You could tell they just
Speaker 12: got dropped off. He's like, there's nothing I can do.
Speaker 12: So I'm like, you say something, you see something, you
Speaker 12: say something.
Speaker 1: Well, again, you're in Lola, You're in California where Governor
Speaker 1: knwsombrains and I think that that is more a reflection
Speaker 1: of the political leadership in the state of California.
Speaker 12: H well, some of it is not all of us.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not suggesting you, but I'm saying that lifeguard
Speaker 1: should have thanked you and should have reported it.
Speaker 6: But he did.
Speaker 1: But if he's working for the state of California as
Speaker 1: a light on a beach, that's probably what's in the
Speaker 1: back of his mind. Good example, though, good.
Speaker 12: Example this is I didn't want to call because this
Speaker 12: is very upsetting for me. I'm an energy healer, I'm
Speaker 12: a yogi, and I'm like, I can feel all the tension.
Speaker 12: I can feel the fear of everybody all around the world.
Speaker 1: You know what else I can feel? You know what
Speaker 1: else I can feel, Lola, I can feel I only
Speaker 1: have twenty seconds left in the show, and I wish
Speaker 1: it called early, but I got to say good night.
Speaker 12: Okay, Well I don't want to.
Speaker 10: I didn't want to talk about.
Speaker 1: To say good night Lola. I got ten seconds left.
Speaker 1: Is that okay? Thanks Lola, good night, good night. I
Speaker 1: will end as always Rob Brooks. Great job to the
Speaker 1: callers in the line, whish you called earlier. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much for trying. We'll talk to you tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: All dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's
Speaker 1: my pell. Charlie Rais, who passed fifteen years ago in February.
Speaker 1: That's all your pets are who have passed. They loved
Speaker 1: you and you love them. I do believe you'll see
Speaker 1: them again. Have a great Friday. Everyone back tomorrow night
Speaker 1: on Nightside on Facebook Live. In just a couple of minutes,
