1
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>It's night time with Dan Ray on Delli Fleazy Boston

2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>News Radio.

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very much, Dan, As we move into the third

4
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 2>hour here, this is sort of halfway through the week.

5
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm off on Friday night, so I will be with

6
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>you tomorrow night, and then I will be here for

7
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 2>the next two weeks, beginning again on Monday night. We

8
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 2>will have our great friends the admissions director of Harvard

9
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>and Boston College, Bill Fitzimmons of Harvard and Grant Goslin

10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 2>of Boston College. And as I said, if any of

11
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 2>you have either children, grandchildren, neighbors, children, members of your

12
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>extended family who are thinking about applying to colleges, if

13
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>they're freshman, sophomores, and juniors, now is the time. This

14
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>is an opportunity for them. On Monday night, December ninth,

15
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>to listen to two veteran college admissions directors Means of Admission,

16
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 2>and they will answer questions from students and parents. So

17
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of information to absorb. It's like drinking

18
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>from a fire hose. If it's the first time you

19
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>have a child in your family applying to college, it's

20
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>a staggering responsibility. And Bill Fitzsimmons and Grant Goslin, do

21
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>give us the time. Bill fitz Simmons, particularly, We've done

22
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 2>this show for eighteen years every year here on Night Side,

23
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:31.359
<v Speaker 2>and he's been a trooper for us. Grant Goslin, after

24
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 2>John Mahoney was elevated from the Dean of Admissions at

25
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Boston College to Provot, Grant has been Mahoney's replacement and

26
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 2>he's done just as great a job as John Mahoney did.

27
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>So again, this is an opportunity for students to call

28
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 2>in parents, grandparents, just get the word out to your family.

29
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 2>This is really appointment radio listening on Monday night at

30
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 2>eight o'clock December ninth. And also if you are involved

31
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>in a chair and it has to be a legitimate charity,

32
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't have to be a five oh one C three,

33
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>it's nice if it is. We've already booked several for

34
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.439
<v Speaker 2>our end of the year program, the night Side Charity Combine,

35
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>which will be on Friday night, December twentieth. It's amazing

36
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>how many people in our community and beyond are doing

37
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>such great work, volunteering their time, volunteering their skills to

38
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>help others, and it could be it's just such a

39
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>wide variety, the tapestry of charities that exist private charities.

40
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>We're not talking about the government here, we're talking about

41
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>private charities. And we love to highlight and focus. So

42
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 2>if you're involved in a charity, have whoever's the head

43
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>of your charity, give us a call. Rob can give

<v Speaker 2>at iHeartMedia spelled the lot then correctly we will line

49
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 2>you up. I was talking today to Ian Fidrich, the

50
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>widow of the great Major League pitcher Mark Fidrich from Massachusetts,

51
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>whose career was cut short and who lost his life

52
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>at a very early age. But in Mark's memory, they

53
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 2>do a program in central Massachusetts to provide baseball equipment

54
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>to kids who otherwise might not be able to afford it.

55
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 2>A wonderful charity and they will be highlighted on the

56
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>night of December twentieth. Then your charity can be as well.

57
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Just let us know. We need like a daytime phone

58
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>number so I can call someone during the day and

59
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>tell them what time they'll be on. No travel is involved.

60
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>We used to do it at the iHeart studio in

61
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Medford or at the CBSWBZ studio over on soldiers Field Road,

62
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 2>but this is not done all remotely via telephone. Now,

63
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.039
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about a very interesting comment that

64
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>President elect Trump made on Monday. This is a story

65
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm quoting from out of the New York Times. He

66
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>was writing on truth Social without naming any militant group.

67
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Mister Trump said in his post quote, if the hostages

68
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>are not released prior to January twentieth, twenty twenty five,

69
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and not of course, of the day that he will

70
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>be inaugurated, the date that I probably assume office as

71
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>President of the United States, there will be all caps now,

72
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>all hell to pay in the Middle East, and for

73
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity. Those

74
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 2>responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit

75
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>in the long and storied history of the United States

76
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 2>of America. Caps full caps, Release the hostages. Now. We

77
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>started off with about two hundred and fifty hostages or

78
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 2>aptured by the Hamas led attack. Quoting now from an

79
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>article from Ephret Livney. According to Israeli authorities. There are

80
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.639
<v Speaker 2>now about one hundred they believe who are still alive

81
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 2>and in custody of Hamas. So I want to know

82
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>from you, whether you are a Trump supporter or you

83
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 2>voted for one of his opponents in the last election,

84
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>what do you think of this? He really has laid

85
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 2>down a challenge to Hamas. If Hamas decides to release

86
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 2>the hostages in advance of his inauguration, as Iran did

87
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 2>before Ronald Reagan took office in nineteen eighty one, it

88
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>would be a big political victory for Donald Trump. If

89
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Hamas does not, then the question is what does Donald

90
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Trump do because he obviously you don't make a threat,

91
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>a threat of that magnitude without being prepared to follow

92
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>through on it. So I'd love to know what you think.

93
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>This is a It kind of came out of the blue.

94
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>We're involved in well two right now world hotspots Israel

95
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the Middle East, no question, Hesblah. I think has been defanged.

96
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Hamas has been defanged. But Hamas holds hostages. That is

97
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 2>the one card they have left to play. It will

98
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see what is done by President Trump

99
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 2>if the hostages are not released. If they are released,

100
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 2>it will be a brilliant stroke. If they're not released,

101
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 2>then the question becomes, Okay, mister president, you are now president.

102
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>You threatened some pretty serious reprisal. What are you going

103
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.199
<v Speaker 2>to do? What do you think Donald Trump will do?

104
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 2>And do you think the hostages will be released? The

105
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 2>other hot spot around the world, well, at this point

106
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 2>remains Ukraine, the Ukraine Russian War, which Donald Trump says

107
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 2>he can have an influence in ending those hostilities. At

108
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.639
<v Speaker 2>the same time, now we have a crisis brewing in

109
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 2>South Korea. God knows what designs China has on Taiwan.

110
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

111
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>He's inheriting some pretty serious problems around the world from

112
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:49.319
<v Speaker 2>the Biden administration, and I think we are We're in

113
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 2>for some interesting times. I'm going to take a break.

114
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to open up the phone lines six one, seven, two, five,

115
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.160
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty. Three lines are open there. I have

116
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>one line open at six one, seven, nine, three, one,

117
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. What do you think about Donald Trump's statement?

118
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Is it bravado? I mean, it's it puts him out

119
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 2>there on a limb. If the hostages are not released,

120
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>then what card does he play again? He's saying that

121
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 2>they will be hit harder than anybody has been hit

122
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 2>in the long and storied history of the United States

123
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:31.240
<v Speaker 2>of America. Released the hostages. Now, I pray that Hamas

124
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>does the right thing and releases the hostages. But I

125
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>fear that many of the hostages have passed already, and

126
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>the ones that do remain, I'm not sure Hamas will

127
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 2>give them up because after that, what happens to Hamas.

128
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 2>It's complicated. You have the numbers six one, seven, two, five,

129
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty is the only line now where there

130
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 2>are some open lines at six seven, two, four ten thirty.

131
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's get it going here. I think we are going

132
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>to have a very dramatic change in administrations, whether you've

133
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 2>voted for Donald Trump or not, and a dramatic change

134
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.399
<v Speaker 2>in the posture that we as a country will be

135
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 2>taking around the world. Will we will probably adopt a

136
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.639
<v Speaker 2>different posture in regards to Ukraine, and we certainly, I

137
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>think will adopt a stronger posture in terms of Israel

138
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>in the Middle East. Back on Nightside, right after this

139
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:31.600
<v Speaker 2>very quick break, let's open up those phone lines.

140
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Rob Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window

141
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 1>World Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

142
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>So we're talking about Donald President elect. Donald Trump's threat

143
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 2>to hamas very simple, release the hostages. They'll be all

144
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>hell to pay. Those responses will be hit harder than

145
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.440
<v Speaker 2>anybody's been hit in the long and storied history of

146
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 2>the United States of America. Released the hostages. Now, all caps,

147
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Marty. Marty, your reaction to the to

148
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 2>the president's challenge, his ultimatum. I guess we could call

149
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 2>it what's your thoughts?

150
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:09.879
<v Speaker 4>Well?

151
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 5>All two things. One, I hope he's going to do it.

152
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 5>And it reminds me of when Muhammar Kadafi, who I

153
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 5>feel sorry for what happened at the end when he

154
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 5>told the United States this is the Gulf of Sidra,

155
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.440
<v Speaker 5>this is red the line of death. If you cross it,

156
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 5>we're going to kick your butt. Ronald Reagan sent in

157
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 5>some forces and kicked his butt. So it's reminiscent of that.

158
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 5>I hope that Donald Trump is going to do it.

159
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 5>I will say one thing to be fair, I remember

160
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 5>in his first term he made some sort of a

161
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.399
<v Speaker 5>threat about Iran and he didn't come through. Now, as

162
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Speaker 5>a former cop in the street, we call that wolf tickets.

163
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 5>When you say something and don't produce. I would like

164
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 5>for Donald Trump to produce, and if he does, all

165
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.879
<v Speaker 5>of us will benefit. Also, what I'd like for him

166
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 5>to do is a little bit of an extra is

167
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 5>take care of the hooties because they're they're making us

168
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:12.039
<v Speaker 5>take little sissies and they're attacking ships and doing nothing

169
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 5>about it. And then let me tell you a parenthetical note.

170
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 5>Are you familiar with that? In the sixties it was

171
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.840
<v Speaker 5>Britain's fight they had the special the Sas over there.

172
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I believe, so I probably don't recall, so.

173
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean the more historian anyway, So I hope that

174
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.559
<v Speaker 5>Donald Trump will do it. It sounds very good, and

175
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 5>he's just doing it because it has to be done,

176
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 5>because those the the Hamas, they're not they're not doing

177
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 5>good things they're doing they're not just they're not nice.

178
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:53.120
<v Speaker 2>We agree Hamas is horrible. My question is if they now.

179
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 2>I remember the the the Reagan inauguration. I was supposed

180
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 2>to cover that for wv's Channel four, and at that

181
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 2>point they released the Iranian hostages after four hundred and

182
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 2>forty four days, and I ended up going to Wisbad

183
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>in West Germany to to find the mass There a

184
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 2>couple of Massachusetts hostages. They're Bill Key. Oh and there

185
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>was also a fellow who had really I think been

186
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:23.519
<v Speaker 2>a CIA operative, sadly died in an automobile accident back

187
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.559
<v Speaker 2>here in mass Issusetts a few years later. What do

188
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 2>you think Trump will do? I mean, he's he's he's

189
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 2>he's leveled a threat. It's when you level that threat,

190
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.159
<v Speaker 2>you got to follow through. I think if and.

191
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 5>Let me just say also as a former military, two

192
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 5>year veteran of the army, I think that if he

193
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 5>does decide to take action, real action, the military will

194
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 5>love it. The military will love it because they will

195
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 5>be motivated to go in and do something to attack

196
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 5>the bad guys. So I hope he doesn't.

197
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Do you do you? I don't think that he is

198
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>going to send US troops in there.

199
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 5>No, yeah, Singly, the war has been fought by airstrikes

200
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:10.960
<v Speaker 5>and by drones.

201
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Right, and then I mean that Hamas has been pulverized

202
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 2>u by by air attack. The other thing too, is

203
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>from Hamas's point of view. And I'm not a Hamask

204
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 2>guy at all, as you know. No, why would they

205
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.080
<v Speaker 2>release the hostages? First of all, they should release the

206
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.039
<v Speaker 2>hostages on a humanitarian ground. But they don't have any

207
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>humanity within them. They are looking at their hostages as

208
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:36.879
<v Speaker 2>they get out of jail card I mean, they're they're

209
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe their escape out of Gaza. If once they do,

210
00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 2>they have left.

211
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.159
<v Speaker 5>I hear what you're saying. But if you look at

212
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.080
<v Speaker 5>how Syria is falling apart, and and all of those

213
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.600
<v Speaker 5>countries over there are just losing whatever, I think maybe

214
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 5>somebody will prevail and say, listen, let's give them up,

215
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 5>because holding them is not going to do any good.

216
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely good. Agree with him more, Marty. Appreciate your callers always.

217
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

218
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 6>Thank you.

219
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I want to ask you, are you

220
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:13.039
<v Speaker 2>still there, Marty? Yes, yeah, very quickly. I don't want

221
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>to change topics here, but as a former police officer

222
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 2>in New York City, I'm sure you saw that horrific

223
00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 2>shooting today of the executive I guess, the CEO of

224
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>United Healthcare. How tough is it going to be, in

225
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.639
<v Speaker 2>your opinion, to capture that assailant who seemed to have

226
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:35.840
<v Speaker 2>pulled it off as as close to flawlessly as possible.

227
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm assuming that he eventually will be caught,

228
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 2>but he certainly picked the time and the place and

229
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>you have to wonder if there's some inside information that

230
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 2>he had to know exactly where that gentleman was who

231
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>he shot in the back of the coward that he.

232
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 5>Was, Well, it sounds it sounds like it was a

233
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 5>professional hit. I think I heard that the shooter has

234
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.639
<v Speaker 5>gone misfired and.

235
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 2>He dropped a few three times, and.

236
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.399
<v Speaker 5>He dropped some bullets. So the city, this is a

237
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 5>high profile thing in New York NYPD. When they have

238
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 5>something like this, they're amazing. And then they have all

239
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 5>of the closed circuit video and everything, and the guy

240
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 5>made a mistake of doing it where he's on camera,

241
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.519
<v Speaker 5>so and then they're gonna use their their like resources.

242
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.320
<v Speaker 2>So I he's gonna be look, unless he's going to

243
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.639
<v Speaker 2>shoot the guy in the woods or something, he's going

244
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.320
<v Speaker 2>to be on camera in most major cities. And there's

245
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker 2>plenty of video of him at this point. But they

246
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:37.519
<v Speaker 2>lose him once he rides his bike in a central park.

247
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully now they can pick him up.

248
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.639
<v Speaker 5>At some We think we think over here that it

249
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.279
<v Speaker 5>was somebody a disgruntled insurance person and maybe they didn't

250
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 5>get a claim settled.

251
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 7>Or something like that.

252
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it's going to be anything intrigued, like

253
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 5>an international hit man or anything.

254
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I'm close to closer to you to where

255
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you're thinking. Mardy. I appreciate eat you call.

256
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Thank you very much, Thanks for the respect. Thank you, babai, welcome,

257
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 5>good night.

<v Speaker 2>Six one seven, two, five, four to ten thirty, triple

259

<v Speaker 2>eight nine two nine ten thirty and six one seven

260
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.519
<v Speaker 2>ninety three one ten thirty. I'm not going to short

261
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 2>change anyone here, So I got will, I got Gene

262
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 2>coming up. We'll get to them, I promise, and we'll

263
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.559
<v Speaker 2>get to you. All you have to do is call

264
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, two, five four ten thirty or six one, seven,

265
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.679
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. Donald Trump on Monday, on

266
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:31.159
<v Speaker 2>his social media account, essentially said to Hamas, release the

267
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.360
<v Speaker 2>hostages before I come prepp, before he becomes president, and

268
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>if the hostages are not released, he will hit Hamas

269
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>harder than any group. Let me quote his words here

270
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.639
<v Speaker 2>just to set this up. He basically said, release the

271
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>hostages now, capital letters those responsible without mentioning Hamas, that's

272
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 2>what he's talking about, will be hit harder than anybody

273
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.639
<v Speaker 2>has been hit in the long and storied history of

274
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the United States of America. Will be all hell to

275
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 2>pay in the Middle East. So you don't issue a

276
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:13.240
<v Speaker 2>threat like that unless you intend to follow up, assuming

277
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the other side does not comply with the threat. The

278
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 2>question I have is what do you think Donald Trump

279
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:24.839
<v Speaker 2>has in mind? And clearly Benjamin Netanyahoo is welcoming Donald

280
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Trump as the next president of the United States, and

281
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a good development for Israel. As you know,

282
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm not Israeli, I'm not Jewish, but I'm very

283
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:44.119
<v Speaker 2>supportive of the nation of Israel and all that it represents.

284
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 2>So but I but again, you issue a threat, it's

285
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:53.960
<v Speaker 2>like drawing the line. You know, you cross this line. Okay,

286
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>you've crossed that line. Let's move a little further. What

287
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.519
<v Speaker 2>about this line now? I think with Donald Trump, people

288
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>have to take action. My question is what do you

289
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.240
<v Speaker 2>think it'll be Back on Nightside, fill up these phone lines,

290

299
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 3>tired of this not being being acknowledged on a daily

300
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:46.279
<v Speaker 3>basis out there in the news and through politicians and

301
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.599
<v Speaker 3>Washington and everything else. I'm just so tired of not

302
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 3>hearing about these hostages. I mean, come on, this is

303
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 3>so ridiculous. Something has to be done, and I think

304
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump is the one to do it. Where I

305
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.079
<v Speaker 3>grew up, it was a very very tough area, and

306
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.319
<v Speaker 3>I know when things went wrong and people were bothered,

307
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 3>there was either an uncle or an aunt or our

308
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:13.680
<v Speaker 3>cousin or someone who would take care of the matter

309
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.240
<v Speaker 3>and would never happen again. Donald Trump's that guy. I'm

310
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 3>telling you. I feel that he's that guy, because you

311
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.440
<v Speaker 3>know what these Hamas did to these kids who were

312
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:30.359
<v Speaker 3>only at a concert and their families, and it was

313
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 3>the most horrible, horrific. I mean, just like so inhumane

314
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 3>and animalistic what they did that they need to be

315
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 3>taken care of.

316
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.680
<v Speaker 2>They don't. Let's assume they released the hostages. If they

317
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 2>released the hostages, it is a tremendous victory, a tremendous

318
00:19:54.640 --> 00:20:00.640
<v Speaker 2>victory for president then it would be President Trump, or

319
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.680
<v Speaker 2>if they release him before he becomes president, for President Electrum.

320
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.200
<v Speaker 2>If they decide not to release the hostages, what do

321
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 2>you think happens.

322
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:13.279
<v Speaker 3>Then Well, I think they'll they'll they'll have hell to pay.

323
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.279
<v Speaker 3>I think they will be hell to pay for these hamas.

324
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.400
<v Speaker 3>There's going to be hell to pay these poor hostages.

325
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.279
<v Speaker 3>We can only imagine how their daily life have been

326
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.759
<v Speaker 3>if they're still alive and can even function. And I

327
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 3>wish the families would not pose, not put the pictures

328
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 3>up of their sons and daughters any longer, because I

329
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:39.440
<v Speaker 3>feel like as soon as the amass sees that recognizable faith,

330
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:44.440
<v Speaker 3>they last time that was done, they killed that poor

331
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.359
<v Speaker 3>hostage because the parents wanted him released. Don't show your

332
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 3>kids' pictures anymore, because to me, it pinpoints that, yeah.

333
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Well they have the hostages in their custody. At the

334
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 2>same time, I'm sure that that the parents are re

335
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of advice and guidance from our State Department,

336
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.880
<v Speaker 2>from the government of Israel, and I'm sure they're doing

337
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 2>what they consider to be the.

338
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Best I know. I just feel I just feel don't

339
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 3>show the kid's faces anymore because if they want to

340
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:15.880
<v Speaker 3>make it worse for the parents, they killed the kid

341
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.440
<v Speaker 3>the next day. They did it the last time. It

342
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.559
<v Speaker 3>was terrible. I can't take it. I do want Trump

343
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 3>to do something. Somebody has to finally. Thank you, Dan,

344
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 3>have a good evening you too.

345
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Let me go next to Will on Long Island. Will

346
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:31.000
<v Speaker 2>welcome back. How are you sure?

347
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Dan, How's how's your holiday?

348
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Had a great holiday? I hope you did as well.

349
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:39.839
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I had a pretty good time. And I went

350
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.319
<v Speaker 7>to Bermuda, I went to North Carolina. I did a

351
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.440
<v Speaker 7>few things. The past couple of weeks. I haven't spoken to him.

352
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow, So you were surprising billion Americans whatever the number

353
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 2>was who were traveling air travel. Well, that was only

354
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 2>three million of you doing air travel. But that's still

355
00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:57.720
<v Speaker 2>quite like the group.

356
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:02.039
<v Speaker 7>Go right ahead, So I I think. I think, first off,

357
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:07.680
<v Speaker 7>it starts with massive pressure on Iran, an increased presence

358
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 7>in the Persian Gulf and the Straight of hor moves

359
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 7>and just starting to send in a lot of military

360
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 7>and mobilizing, and Iran really is going to be the

361
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.200
<v Speaker 7>one that's pressured through all of this. Okay, and I

362
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.720
<v Speaker 7>think I would you know, I Marty had a great call,

363
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:26.720
<v Speaker 7>but I would disagree that, you know, we didn't do

364
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.279
<v Speaker 7>anything to Iran. I think Solamani would disagree with that also,

365
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:35.160
<v Speaker 7>wherever he is now. I would also say that, you know,

366
00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:39.160
<v Speaker 7>Iran is obviously the funder of all of this. Iran

367
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:42.480
<v Speaker 7>is a state sponsor of terrorism. Iran has called for

368
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 7>the death of Israel for decades at this point in

369
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:49.799
<v Speaker 7>the United States, I think that in September, Trump also

370
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 7>said what he said, will bomb them to smithereens. And

371
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 7>I believe even if they had threatened the life of

372
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.839
<v Speaker 7>Joe Biden, if Joe Biden were the former president, Donald

373
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:01.400
<v Speaker 7>Trump would stand steadfast and say this thing. I'm not

374
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.079
<v Speaker 7>sure that this is political. This is in November of

375
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.359
<v Speaker 7>twenty twenty, after the election, I posted on my Facebook page,

376
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.640
<v Speaker 7>I said, weak American leadership is not only a detriment

377
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.759
<v Speaker 7>to the United States, it's a detriment to the entire world.

378
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 7>And then not because I had a crystal ball, because

379
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:21.119
<v Speaker 7>I knew we were putting a mentally incompetent person in

380
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:21.839
<v Speaker 7>the White House.

381
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and back, let's leave that aside. Let's focus on

382
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 2>what we're talking about tonight, which is let's assume that

383
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the hostages, Donald Trump puts his hand to the Bible

384
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:35.240
<v Speaker 2>sworn in, and the hostages is still held by Hamas.

385
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 2>What do you think President Trump does? I mean, I

386
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>know you talked about putting economic pressure, but the language

387
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:43.000
<v Speaker 2>would suggest that there was going to be a direct

388
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.359
<v Speaker 2>response against those I can quote it for you. You

389
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:50.599
<v Speaker 2>probably know as well as I do. He's saying those

390
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.880
<v Speaker 2>be responsible will be hit harder than anybody's been hit

391
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 2>in the long and storied history of the United States.

392
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Do you represent? Do you think that means Iran as

393
00:23:58.319 --> 00:23:59.160
<v Speaker 2>opposed to homage.

394
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.680
<v Speaker 7>Let's use the words responsible. There are a couple parties responsible.

395
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 7>It's not just TOAMAS, you know, it's also the funders

396
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.599
<v Speaker 7>of TAMAS, and we know who they are. So the

397
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:13.359
<v Speaker 7>people responsible, I'm sure as his administration on folds, are

398
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.200
<v Speaker 7>going to directly tie this to Iran. And Iran is

399
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.640
<v Speaker 7>also going to have health to pay, and I wouldn't

400
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.160
<v Speaker 7>be surprised. I disagree with Marty a little bit. The

401
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:24.079
<v Speaker 7>United States may not put ground troops per se, but

402
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 7>I would not be surprised to see tactical units go in,

403
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 7>possibly seal teams and stuff like that to going and

404
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.920
<v Speaker 7>extract hostages in conjunction with the Israelis. I wouldn't be

405
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 7>surprised to see advisors in there and people on the ground.

406
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 7>I wouldn't be surprised to see our drone operators and

407
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:43.359
<v Speaker 7>people in there. I wouldn't be surprised to see actual

408
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 7>our battleships and aircraft carriers and carry out actual missions

409
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.119
<v Speaker 7>against the I asked the question.

410
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Here's why I asked that question, Okay, And I'm not

411
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:58.119
<v Speaker 2>trying to challenge you on it. I'm simply asking. He says,

412
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 2>the will be hell all hell to pay the Middle

413
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.039
<v Speaker 2>East and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities

414
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 2>against humanity. That sounds more like AMAS. Okay, those responsible

415
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 2>will be hit harder than anybody's been hit in the

416
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:16.079
<v Speaker 2>long and storied history of the United States of America.

417
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Released the hostages now, So if the first represents those

418
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:26.559
<v Speaker 2>who perpetrated the atrocities are hamas and those responsible are around. Look,

419
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.279
<v Speaker 2>we drop two nuclear weapons, two atomic weapons on Japan

420
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:31.799
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen forty five.

421
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 7>Well, we know that Trump is We know that Trump

422
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 7>is bombastic. And if we think about the hell that

423
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:43.880
<v Speaker 7>the United States has unleashed on its enemies. Yes, I

424
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:45.799
<v Speaker 7>find it hard to believe we're going to do anything

425
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:50.359
<v Speaker 7>more drastic than the two atomic bombs we dropped on Japan. However,

426
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.640
<v Speaker 7>I think that we are sending a clear message, which

427
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.799
<v Speaker 7>we have not done at all under this administration, what

428
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 7>side we're on, and that we are definitely not taking

429
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 7>military conflict off the table, and we're positioning ourselves to

430
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:09.240
<v Speaker 7>let the Middle East and the world know what side

431
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 7>we're on and who the enemies are, Okay, and that

432
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:13.839
<v Speaker 7>is something that has been.

433
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:17.880
<v Speaker 6>Just not there for the past four years.

434
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 2>And again, there's nothing that you're saying retroactively that I'm

435
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.319
<v Speaker 2>going to disagree with. My question comes down, what do

436
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you think He's basically made a threat that says, if

437
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 2>you don't do this, they'll be all hell to pay.

438
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 2>And he specified a little bit. Let's assume he's president.

439
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 2>It's noontime, it's twelve thirty, it's one o'clock, it's two o'clock,

440
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>the hostage is still being held. What does he do

441
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 2>with that point he's issued an ultimatum. Has he backed

442
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:49.359
<v Speaker 2>himself into a corner?

443
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.640
<v Speaker 7>A little bit? Definitely? But I'll say this, you know Trump,

444
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.319
<v Speaker 7>right now is not in the position that he was

445
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 7>in the first time, or Biden was in this last

446
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.200
<v Speaker 7>four years. He does not have to worry about running

447
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.920
<v Speaker 7>for reelection. I know that the man is not a

448
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:08.279
<v Speaker 7>war hawk, and he does not like war. However, I

449
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 7>think he realizes this time that we have to take

450
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 7>a clear stance in military conflict with Iran. Maybe on

451
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 7>the horizon. I mean, let's face it, it's been on the

452
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.559
<v Speaker 7>horizon for a long time. And now that they're on

453
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.000
<v Speaker 7>the verge of having a nuclear weapon, he's spoken and

454
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.799
<v Speaker 7>said recently they will never have a nuclear weapon. He

455
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 7>may use this as an excuse, like we used weapons

456
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.440
<v Speaker 7>of mass destruction for our invasion of Iraq, he may

457
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.160
<v Speaker 7>use this as an excuse for an invasion of Iran.

458
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.519
<v Speaker 7>I would not put that past him, and I would

459
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:39.880
<v Speaker 7>not put that past the position.

460
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I hope he's not thinking that way, because Iran has

461
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:48.319
<v Speaker 2>the fifth largest army in the world. I think that

462
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.680
<v Speaker 2>would be a cataclysmic mistake. But guess what you gave

463
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>me an answer. Let's see people react to what you

464
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 2>had to say. Because I think that I think that

465
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you never know with Donald Trump, and I.

466
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 7>Think that I think that there is a clock ticking

467
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.839
<v Speaker 7>on a military conflict with Iran. And I think that

468
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:10.519
<v Speaker 7>the domination.

469
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Of that November of nineteen seven, right high.

470
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:15.119
<v Speaker 7>Right, and I think that it's going to come to

471
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.000
<v Speaker 7>a head right here in this administration. I really do

472
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.160
<v Speaker 7>believe that. And I really do believe that if there

473
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:21.839
<v Speaker 7>ever is going to be a conflict with them, it's

474
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 7>going to be now.

475
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, when if and when that happens, Or won't you

476
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.680
<v Speaker 2>call back and take a victory lap, as I tell callers.

477
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:31.480
<v Speaker 7>Oh, and it wouldn't be Dan, It wouldn't be itself

478
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:35.000
<v Speaker 7>out there, Dan. It wouldn't be a victory lap for anybody.

479
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:36.880
<v Speaker 7>But it may have to be the thing that has

480
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:37.319
<v Speaker 7>to be done.

481
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.039
<v Speaker 2>We would be a victoryp if the hostages were released,

482
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure.

483
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.119
<v Speaker 7>That would be a victory lap. I agree, I agree,

484
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:44.039
<v Speaker 7>all right, Thanks.

485
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very much. Bill. Six point seven two five four

487
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.720
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. I've read to you what

488
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.599
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump has said. He will be president of the

489
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:57.680
<v Speaker 2>United States, no question. On January twentieth. Has he backed

490
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:00.279
<v Speaker 2>himself into a corner or has he issued with an

491
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.039
<v Speaker 2>ultimatum that is long overdue. Feel free to join the conversation.

492
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Come right back on Nightside.

493
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

494
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>nights Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

495
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:15.720
<v Speaker 2>We are in the Window World night Side Studios and

496
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.599
<v Speaker 2>we're about to talk one of my favorite callers, Danielle

497
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:20.759
<v Speaker 2>in Worster. Danielle Welcome. How are you doing?

498
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:23.440
<v Speaker 4>Hey Dan? How good are you?

499
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing just great? Thanks for calling in. Hope you

500
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.039
<v Speaker 2>and yours had a great Thanksgiving.

501
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Thank you we did. I hope you as well.

502
00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:34.000
<v Speaker 2>We sure did. So what do you think about Donald

503
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Trump's challenge to amass threat whatever you want to call it.

504
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I would expect nothing less from him. But

505
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.279
<v Speaker 4>and I'm I apologize in advance if I sound ignorant,

506
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:51.119
<v Speaker 4>but I have to ask, do we know that these

507
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:52.039
<v Speaker 4>hostages are alive?

508
00:29:54.279 --> 00:30:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Well? I assume, thanks to show people is really intelligence.

509
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm just answering the question. I assume Israeli intelligence has

510
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good idea. We don't have any certainty, but

511
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:11.839
<v Speaker 2>but one of the reasons that I think some of

512
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 2>them should be alive is that might be a card

513
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 2>that Hamas could play uh in desperation that we will,

514
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, allow us safe passage out of here, you know,

515
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the leadership in exchange for the hostages. What I could

516
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:27.039
<v Speaker 2>see that happen.

517
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.240
<v Speaker 4>I pray, I mean, I pray that they're alive. That's

518
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:34.319
<v Speaker 4>my biggest like sphere is you know, I remember, you know,

519
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:36.119
<v Speaker 4>back in the day, you'd watch the news and they'd

520
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:38.519
<v Speaker 4>show somebody on a you know, one of those people

521
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.160
<v Speaker 4>with the masks over the head, and they'd show the

522
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:43.960
<v Speaker 4>hostage and to be a white background and be gardening

523
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:48.799
<v Speaker 4>them with swordmer Remember those.

524
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those were particularly when isis.

525
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 4>Uh, yeah, I remember. But I'm just saying, like, you

526
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 4>don't see anything like that. So I just pray and

527
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.839
<v Speaker 4>pray that these poor people are alive. I mean, God,

528
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.440
<v Speaker 4>that's just giving me anxiety and itself.

529
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 2>But well, the other thing too is that they were

530
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.759
<v Speaker 2>they were they were hidden underground, and they were in

531
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:14.599
<v Speaker 2>a war zone. So it's possible some of them could

532
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.599
<v Speaker 2>have been killed by mistake, some of them could have

533
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.279
<v Speaker 2>been killed in bombardment. But my sense is that probably some,

534
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 2>if not all, are alive. Because again I think that

535
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 2>if I'm Hamas, if I put myself on Amasa's shoes,

536
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking to myself, dead hostages have no value to Hamas.

537
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Live hostages may have significant value to get them, you know,

538
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:40.640
<v Speaker 2>out of the out of Gaza into a country that

539
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.640
<v Speaker 2>would take them.

540
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.440
<v Speaker 4>Is it possible they would show live footage to you know,

541
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.319
<v Speaker 4>our government, but that it doesn't make it. They keep

542
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:50.039
<v Speaker 4>it top secret and they don't share it with the

543
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:52.319
<v Speaker 4>media so that we don't know means so that there's

544
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 4>no further harm.

545
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't think.

546
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 4>There's no like intelligence that they're allied to we don't

547
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:01.759
<v Speaker 4>know about, right, Yeah.

548
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:05.759
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure the Israeli government has intelligence. I'm sure

549
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 2>the Israeli government has individuals and people within within Hamas.

550
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:21.240
<v Speaker 2>They have assets. I mean, there's there's no country in

551
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:25.039
<v Speaker 2>the world who has better intelligence than Israel. They have

552
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:26.519
<v Speaker 2>to be to have survived.

553
00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:31.400
<v Speaker 4>This long okay, right, right, But I mean I I

554
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.400
<v Speaker 4>think he'll do I don't seey he wouldn't put his

555
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.880
<v Speaker 4>money where it's not those he's shown me he's done

556
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 4>that before.

557
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:45.079
<v Speaker 2>We'll see, you know, we will see what we will

558
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:48.480
<v Speaker 2>see what he does. You know. Obviously, if all of

559
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.359
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, Hamas says we're releasing the hostages because we

560
00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:53.599
<v Speaker 2>don't want to have to deal with this new president,

561
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 2>or maybe they would do it, you know, despite I

562
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.319
<v Speaker 2>think the Iranian hostages were released as a common adation

563
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:05.119
<v Speaker 2>of trying to establish better relations with the United States

564
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:07.839
<v Speaker 2>with the new president than Ronald Reagan. And also in

565
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 2>spite despite the guy who was going out the door

566
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:11.960
<v Speaker 2>in that case, Jimmy.

567
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Carter, Yeah, you know. And then as far as the

568
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:23.880
<v Speaker 4>poor United Healthcare guy, I mean, Brian Thompson, I think

569
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 4>his name is right. You know, I'm gonna be the

570
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.759
<v Speaker 4>elephant in the room. But with this being what looks

571
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.400
<v Speaker 4>like a professional job, go back and read the article

572
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:38.680
<v Speaker 4>about that. When they interviewed his wife after it was done,

573
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.519
<v Speaker 4>I thought that I thought it was interesting that she

574
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:43.240
<v Speaker 4>was so quick to talk to the media. I just God,

575
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.039
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't even put myself to think if that was me.

576
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:48.319
<v Speaker 4>But I don't think I could put a sentence together

577
00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:48.839
<v Speaker 4>that were me.

578
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes people are in shock. Sometimes people in shock, and

579
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:59.799
<v Speaker 2>the and the media is has a voracious appetite. Sure

580
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:03.680
<v Speaker 2>that he is a well known figure in many in

581
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota where the health is based, and I'm sure that

582
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 2>they had local television camera crews there, and the his

583
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 2>wife might have given something to the media just to

584
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:20.360
<v Speaker 2>get them away from her house. Just I've bet in

585
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>those situations and they're not pleasant for anyone. That's for sure.

586
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.199
<v Speaker 4>Had gotten threats.

587
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people get a lot of people get threats,

588
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:34.400
<v Speaker 2>but that was as close to a a hit as

589
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:35.079
<v Speaker 2>I have ever seen.

590
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, so that's what's weird. I mean, they knew where

591
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.039
<v Speaker 4>he was. I mean, he's not even in Minnesota, so

592
00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:41.480
<v Speaker 4>just you know, we got to look at I mean, they.

593
00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Knew this guy, knew exactly what he looked like.

594
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.800
<v Speaker 5>This guy knew where the meeting was at the time,

595
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:48.280
<v Speaker 5>and I.

596
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Was so who had access to his schedule within But anyway,

597
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to go off down that line. We

598
00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 2>could do an hour on that later, Danielle. As always,

599
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.000
<v Speaker 2>we will talk soon. Thank you so much.

600
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, sounds good. Thanks for having me talk.

601
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 2>To you soon. Good night. Let me go to Roger

602
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 2>and Melrose. Roger, your take on Donald Trump's threat to

603
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Hamas What do you.

604
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:13.679
<v Speaker 6>Think it's just him talking nonsense? What is it that

605
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 6>US can do to Israel is not doing to these

606
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:17.159
<v Speaker 6>people already?

607
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a good question. I don't have an answer

608
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:27.480
<v Speaker 2>for that. But when when you make a threat like that,

609
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:31.719
<v Speaker 2>whether it's in a barroom and you say to some

610
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:34.719
<v Speaker 2>some guy, you don't want to go outside and settle this,

611
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and the guy says yes. At that point, what do

612
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:40.840
<v Speaker 2>you do, now, go outside and settle it. You got

613
00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:43.480
<v Speaker 2>well on second thought.

614
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:47.320
<v Speaker 6>And then the other one is the Senate in the

615
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:50.639
<v Speaker 6>Congress is not going to allow the president put troops

616
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 6>into Iran anywhere. We didn't know. That has to go

617
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:58.239
<v Speaker 6>through the legislative branch. And they're not going to approve

618
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.000
<v Speaker 6>us putting soldiers on the ground.

619
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:03.840
<v Speaker 2>They could they do under under the War Powers Act.

620
00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:07.960
<v Speaker 2>They allow I think a ninety day deployment. So if

621
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 2>for example, there was a use for you know, Navy

622
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:18.840
<v Speaker 2>seals or you know special forces type operation for example,

623
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:23.079
<v Speaker 2>there was no advance approval to the best of my knowledge,

624
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:28.559
<v Speaker 2>when Osama bin Laden was dealt with. You know, I

625
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:31.440
<v Speaker 2>think that was done by the military, and I don't

626
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:36.840
<v Speaker 2>think that that situation an He wanted to the Oval

627
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 2>office and said, look, guys, I want you to know,

628
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 2>a couple of nights from now Osa have been Laden

629
00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:43.000
<v Speaker 2>is going to go scuppers up. I don't think so.

630
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And in a way I agree with you, Dan,

631
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 6>But like I said, what else can he do that.

632
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:51.079
<v Speaker 6>Israel hasn't done it. The Israel's bombing the hell out,

633
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:54.880
<v Speaker 6>What is the US going to do?

634
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And the problem is they have hostages. So even

635
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:01.519
<v Speaker 2>if you wanted to hit him with a with a

636
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:05.400
<v Speaker 2>big weapon, even at ted him with a tactical nuke,

637
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:07.840
<v Speaker 2>what's that going to do to the hostages?

638
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.400
<v Speaker 6>And that'll upset the world oil supply, That'll just totally

639
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:16.679
<v Speaker 6>dismantle the Middle East. That's not the move to go.

640
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, he certainly has not out there, and it

641
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.800
<v Speaker 2>will be remembered. I guarantee you that that if nothing happens,

642
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:29.159
<v Speaker 2>the media is going to be quick to remind him

643
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:30.960
<v Speaker 2>of the threat that he has issued.

644
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.880
<v Speaker 6>Right, true, that is true. But but the other line

645
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:39.519
<v Speaker 6>is definitely Israel has the right to defend themselves one thousand.

646
00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.559
<v Speaker 6>But where is the attack on the US. There is

647
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 6>no attack on the US over there. They're attacking an ally,

648
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.320
<v Speaker 6>but there's no threat to the United States from Hesbola

649
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 6>and all those people over there.

650
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, again, I think that if hezbolah Ojamas were able

651
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:05.599
<v Speaker 2>to take out the government of Israel, that would have

652
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.559
<v Speaker 2>a tremendous impact in the Middle East and our interests

653
00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 2>over the.

654
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, that's much.

655
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:12.400
<v Speaker 2>We haven't the Middle East, but that's not.

656
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:16.239
<v Speaker 6>Gonna happen there. Israelis are actually very tough, resilient military.

657
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:18.199
<v Speaker 6>They can handle them. So they've been handled themselves for

658
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:19.719
<v Speaker 6>the last fifty sixty years.

659
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I understand that, but it comes a point in time

660
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.920
<v Speaker 2>where where they have been they have handled so much.

661
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:27.480
<v Speaker 2>We need to support Israel. I mean, that's that's.

662
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:31.679
<v Speaker 6>Why I do it, needs to defend themselves. But Dan,

663
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:34.920
<v Speaker 6>you made a good point. Maybe he wrote a check

664
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:37.039
<v Speaker 6>you can't cash.

665
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe what we'll say, we'll see. I think that's exactly

666
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:43.800
<v Speaker 2>what some would fear. Roger, thank you for your call.

667
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm up against my eleven o'clock news, so I got

668
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:48.679
<v Speaker 2>to let you go reluctantly. Thank you very much. Dan,

669
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:51.760
<v Speaker 2>have a great one. Good night, and we'll take a

670
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:56.679
<v Speaker 2>quick break here as we approach the the eleven o'clock news.

671
00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:58.440
<v Speaker 2>We have one hour left to go. I would like

672
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:01.519
<v Speaker 2>to continue to talk about this. You have the option

673
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:04.119
<v Speaker 2>of lighting up the lines or I will move on

674
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 2>to something else. It's as simple as that. Okay, coming

675
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:07.760
<v Speaker 2>back on nightside
