Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. Well,
Speaker 1: we have talked about suicide for the last hour or so,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to finish by not talking about suicide.
Speaker 1: It's interesting, I think every night when I do this
Speaker 1: program called Nightside, it's a little bit of a social
Speaker 1: experiment for me to try to figure out what people
Speaker 1: want to talk about. So I'll give you a couple
Speaker 1: of options here as we finish our last twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: I'll give you an option of open lines. If you'd
Speaker 1: like whatever subject you'd like to talk about, bring it up.
Speaker 1: That's fine. But I want to ask some questions about
Speaker 1: this latest suspect, the guy who's been arrested for the
Speaker 1: alleged assassination attempt. Then I think it was an assassination
Speaker 1: attempt on Donald Trump on Sunday, And the questions that
Speaker 1: I have is how long is it going to for
Speaker 1: our agencies, including Secret Service and the FBI, to come
Speaker 1: up with a picture that they're going to present to
Speaker 1: the American people. What we know about the guy, his
Speaker 1: name is Ryan Roathrout, fifty eight years of age. This
Speaker 1: is not a twenty year old kid like the kid
Speaker 1: in Butler Pennsylvania. The twenty year old kid himself is
Speaker 1: pretty suspicious because he had these abilities I guess through
Speaker 1: the Internet link with people in other parts of the world,
Speaker 1: and I guess the CIA, the FBI has not been
Speaker 1: able to crack the code on him. It's been two
Speaker 1: months now as to whether or not he was working
Speaker 1: with any sort of a foreign government or individuals from
Speaker 1: a foreign government. So that's number one. But this dude,
Speaker 1: the guy yesterday of the weekend on Sunday, he's out
Speaker 1: there for twelve hours. Now. I think you've all seen
Speaker 1: pictures of this, and all of us have passed by
Speaker 1: golf courses in Massachusetts and you can you know you're
Speaker 1: going by a golf course and you know, hell, that's
Speaker 1: a golf course. Look at that. Very nice. But the
Speaker 1: Marlago golf course has all of these privets, these trees,
Speaker 1: a chain link fence. But somehow he spent twelve hours there.
Speaker 1: This guy, who apparently hasn't worked anywhere I mean that
Speaker 1: I know of or that has been reported, moved to
Speaker 1: Hawaii in twenty eighteen, so all of these questions, and
Speaker 1: then he was in in Ukraine, in Kiev. I guess
Speaker 1: at least two trips, maybe more protesting in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Long criminal record. A retired police officer go to The
Speaker 1: New York Times pulled them over in twenty two, thousand
Speaker 1: and two recall shouting show me your hands. As this officer,
Speaker 1: a female officer, I got close to his pickup, she
Speaker 1: saw him reaching into a Duffel bag which had a
Speaker 1: gun inside. Though this guy, this guy has quite a background.
Speaker 1: The traffic scop led to an arm standoff and a
Speaker 1: conviction for him. For this guy, mister Ruth, on charge
Speaker 1: of possessing a weapon of mass death and destruction an
Speaker 1: explosive device. This is all in the New York Times.
Speaker 1: The retired police officer, her name is Tracy folk f Ulk.
Speaker 1: He did never driver's licenses. Investigators suspect that he had
Speaker 1: an explosive device. So an officer, Tracy Fulk saw him
Speaker 1: driving near Greensboro Coliseum on a cold day in December
Speaker 1: twenty two. She pulled them over. As she got close
Speaker 1: to the small pickup she saw reaching into the Duffel bag,
Speaker 1: Show me your hands. She retired in twenty seventeen after
Speaker 1: nearly two decades on the force. She recounted the interview
Speaker 1: with the New York Times. So this dude has lived
Speaker 1: amongst us with apparently no means of visible support. I've
Speaker 1: read nothing about him that he worked in this I
Speaker 1: don't know where's his money coming from, Who's allowing him
Speaker 1: to fly to Hawaii? These are the questions that I
Speaker 1: think definitely need to be asked.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: If you'd like to talk about that, I'd love to
Speaker 1: talk about it. If you want to talk a little
Speaker 1: open lines, we'll talk about it. We have about fifteen
Speaker 1: or sixteen or seventeen minutes left. How long is it
Speaker 1: going to take Because we have an attention spanning America
Speaker 1: of about a flea, meaning the general public, we will
Speaker 1: forget this dude's name. Most of us have forgotten the
Speaker 1: name of the kid in in July in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: And why why do we not know? We should know
Speaker 1: everything about this guy with look, my simple question is
Speaker 1: how long is it going to take us to figure
Speaker 1: out what was who was supporting him? Okay, this this
Speaker 1: guy was too much of a world traveler. Takes money
Speaker 1: to fly to Ukraine a couple of times, takes money
Speaker 1: to live in Hawaii, the most expensive state in the
Speaker 1: country to live. So I got questions. If you want
Speaker 1: to respond to my questions, that's great. I'll respond to yours.
Speaker 1: We'll wrap it up right after this break Here on Nightside,
Speaker 1: my name is Dan Ray. We spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time on suicide tonight. I hope it has helped a
Speaker 1: lot of people who didn't call. I know the people
Speaker 1: who did call this last hour Frank and South Boston,
Speaker 1: darylnd New Brunswick, Canada, and Clara and Florida have helped people,
Speaker 1: all in different ways. Back on Nightside, right after this,
Speaker 1: I got an open line at six one, seven four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty and I got two at six month, seven
Speaker 1: ninth thirty. Let's fill him up back after.
Speaker 3: This now back to Dan Ray line from the Window
Speaker 3: World night Side Studios on w b Z to news radio.
Speaker 1: The great article in the New York Times, which would
Speaker 1: probably be in the newspaper tomorrow. A background on this
Speaker 1: sky Ryan Wesley Ruth. There's a lot to be known
Speaker 1: about him. Uh And I gotta tell you there's a
Speaker 1: backstory here. There's somebody who was spending money for this guy.
Speaker 1: He said in court today that he was making three
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month. Well, that would mean he has
Speaker 1: an income of thirty six thousand dollars a year. That's
Speaker 1: two round a figure for someone who's making thirty six
Speaker 1: k living in Hawaii, flying back home to vote in
Speaker 1: the North Carolina Democratic primary to then be in Ukraine
Speaker 1: doesn't add up. Let's go to John and Braintree. Hey, John,
Speaker 1: welcome to night's that.
Speaker 2: How are you saying?
Speaker 3: Hey Dan, longtime no call? Captain Hindsight, how are you man?
Speaker 1: Captain Hindsight? I remember you well, you were you were
Speaker 1: a great caller, and you go right ahead. Would you
Speaker 1: like to talk about John?
Speaker 3: Before I got one second to thank those calls, echo
Speaker 3: your sentiments of how many people they must have helped,
Speaker 3: and I urged them to keep doing what they did,
Speaker 3: and uh, they.
Speaker 1: Were really great. And it takes courage to kind of
Speaker 1: put it out there. And I wish more people have
Speaker 1: called about the issue, to be really honestly, I'm a
Speaker 1: little disappointed in that, but that's that's what you do
Speaker 1: want talk radio. Sometimes you gamble and so, but it.
Speaker 3: Was comportant and probably helped so many people. Maybe you
Speaker 3: could do it once a month, you know, it would
Speaker 3: be well, think you're serving it. It's a great service
Speaker 3: you're doing even if you're not getting a lot of calls.
Speaker 3: I think it was a tremendous service for everyone listening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate that. What what are you calling about?
Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to mention one. I echo everything you
Speaker 3: said about this, uh, wanting to know everything about the
Speaker 3: person except one thing, Dan, And I'm almost thinking a
Speaker 3: running for office one of these days before I die.
Speaker 3: I want to run on a platform that no one
Speaker 3: who commits a mass murder or any crazy stuff like
Speaker 3: these people, so their names should never be published. They
Speaker 3: should be twenty twenty four number one jerk or no.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four number three, that they should I'm afraid
Speaker 3: too many of them and I don't know this for
Speaker 3: a fact. It's my old guess.
Speaker 1: I think too.
Speaker 3: Many of them may be doing it for the notoriety,
Speaker 3: and it treaks the crap out of me. I was
Speaker 3: wondering how you felt about that.
Speaker 1: Well, Captain Heinzie, believe it or not, I agree with
Speaker 1: you on that. As a matter of fact, when we
Speaker 1: talk about Boston bomber number two, that's how we refer
Speaker 1: to him. Why not here refer to him here on Nightside.
Speaker 1: I had no interest in this little punk is still
Speaker 1: alive eleven years later, you know, living out at super
Speaker 1: max in Colorado. He was tried, convicted, he confessed to
Speaker 1: the crime, and the only question is should he get
Speaker 1: the death penalty. And now as lawyers are making a
Speaker 1: last minute appeal basically saying that a couple of people
Speaker 1: in the jury might have actually had an opinion and
Speaker 1: they should have been disqualified, I get it. That's what
Speaker 1: lawyers do. Lawyers try to make sure that every tea
Speaker 1: has crossed and I has dotted. But I'm with you.
Speaker 1: If you run for public office, doctor Hindsight, I will
Speaker 1: endorse you are your opponent, which ever helps you more.
Speaker 3: I promise well, listen, hy great and keep doing a
Speaker 3: great work you do.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Thank you, doctor hind Captain Hindsight, excuse me, I promoted
Speaker 1: you there call more often. I've always enjoyed our conversations.
Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 3: All Right, Dan, have a great night. Thank you you too.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Phil in Boston. Phil, appreciate your call.
Speaker 1: You next on nightside right head film.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm guessing the first thing with the sulicide, a
Speaker 2: lot of people don't want to call up because they're
Speaker 2: much feel ashamed and shunned and all that stuff. But
Speaker 2: about the shooting and shooting and flower the president, that
Speaker 2: guy was packed. They're the golf course owned by Trump
Speaker 2: for twelve hours. He almost got away with it. If
Speaker 2: some neighbor put a note on the made a note
Speaker 2: of the guy's plate, it was it was stolen, a
Speaker 2: stolen plate attacked to his vehicle. He left his gun
Speaker 2: behind and that other stuff. The double was obliterated of
Speaker 2: the number he was. This guy sounds crazy, but he's
Speaker 2: probably a head man who knows. But I mean, with
Speaker 2: all this fiersy stuff, they can't afford a few dogs
Speaker 2: and only droll. I don't know he's perfect, but they
Speaker 2: can't afford a couple of gym and shepherds stiff around
Speaker 2: and look at both sides of the fence.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, no, let me just say I agree
Speaker 1: with you totally. That I've watched, just like you have
Speaker 1: the videotape. And that road, that where he had hidden
Speaker 1: himself on those trees, that's a pretty busy role. I
Speaker 1: may have driven by that road. I've been in that
Speaker 1: section of Florida and didn't even realize it. I'd love
Speaker 1: to know where he parked his truck. And it was
Speaker 1: talked there for twelve hours. How come someone didn't say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, what's this truck doing here? I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm trying to It's almost like you were
Speaker 1: you parked your truck on the side of let's let's
Speaker 1: talk about something that all of us can relate to.
Speaker 1: You parked your truck on the side of soldiers Field Road,
Speaker 1: big road, big street, big road. It wouldn't stay there.
Speaker 1: They would have they would want to know. I don't
Speaker 1: know how it happened. And then how does this guy
Speaker 1: travel uh, halfway around the world to Hawaii. He lives
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, comes back to North Carolina to voting the
Speaker 1: Democratic primary. He voted in the Democratic primary this this February.
Speaker 2: Gun Restreck and he's gonna vote cheap yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And then he's in next thing, he's in Ukraine. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine how difficult it must be to get to
Speaker 1: Ukraine or to get to Kiev.
Speaker 2: These days, visa all that stuff. I'm guessing absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: He got over there twice. And then I saw pictures
Speaker 1: of being protesting outside of the capitol. And he was
Speaker 1: arrested in two thousand and two for having an explosive device.
Speaker 1: He was involved in a standoff. Look, you and I,
Speaker 1: Phil get a parking ticket, We get a parking ticket.
Speaker 1: I'm terrified that if I don't pay the parking ticket
Speaker 1: or exactly the next time you're supposed to hear in
Speaker 1: Massachusetts real license at the R and V, someone's gonna say,
Speaker 1: oh you. And by the way, let's assume that they
Speaker 1: say to you, hey, Phil, you got a parking ticket
Speaker 1: in North Adams, Massachusetts. And you say, I've never been
Speaker 1: to North Adams, Massachusets. Do you know what They're gonna say, Well,
Speaker 1: you gotta go out there and get it cleared away.
Speaker 1: You gotta drive out to North Adams, Massachusett has improved
Speaker 1: to them that you were never there, and the party
Speaker 1: think it it's illegitimate before you get your license. That's
Speaker 1: what's going on in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2: No, why the guys that do the stuff and the
Speaker 2: bad guys that get in the world.
Speaker 1: Something, something's wrong something. And by the way, this thing stinks.
Speaker 1: This guy down there, Okay, this should be this should
Speaker 1: be a total scrub of this guy's background. We should
Speaker 1: know everything about him. And and the longer that we
Speaker 1: don't know, the more it's gonna lead to people talking
Speaker 1: about conspiracy.
Speaker 2: But the sitles didn't happen so much. I've already forgotten
Speaker 2: about the guy that gets shot outside Newton Center, right
Speaker 2: next to the police station. The guy's attacked and he
Speaker 2: has a gun apparently, and the gun goes off. The
Speaker 2: guy that attack him get shot and he gets shot
Speaker 2: us so bad.
Speaker 1: We'll follow up. We'll follow you know. Let me tell you, Phil,
Speaker 1: I give you my word. We will keep on top
Speaker 1: of all of these stories on that side.
Speaker 3: You got right of it.
Speaker 1: Okay, all Phil, I'm up against it. So I got
Speaker 1: to let you go, but very much thank you for calling.
Speaker 1: Phil's frustrations are obvious. My frustrations are obvious. We had
Speaker 1: done for the night, Rob Brooks, great job, Marita, thank
Speaker 1: you very much for your help. Today. We're back tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking at nine o'clock tomorrow night

Speaker 1: range for the Massachusetts National Guard. On the kit, all
Speaker 1: dogs aalk couts, all pets go to heaven. And that's
