WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.640 It's nice with Dan Ray. 2 00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.000 I'm telling you Boston's Knees Radio. 3 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.400 Okay, So I think we're done with the Karen Read case, 4 00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:15.240 which is fine. I still want to go back to 5 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.519 the topic that we've talked about, which is the big 6 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:24.679 story of the week, and that is how badly damaged 7 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:32.679 are the Iranian nuclear facilities. And it is becoming clearer 8 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.159 to me every day that Iran has is a different 9 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:43.799 country tonight than they were a week ago. My question 10 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:52.240 to you is, I use this phrase often, look at 11 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:59.399 what people do, not what they say. My understanding is that, 12 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:05.120 certainly the American news media has been very skeptical of 13 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:11.359 Donald Trump, who often has been somebody who overstates things. 14 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:18.519 That is his style, and he talks about the biggest, 15 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.959 it's the biggest, it's the best, it's the most beautiful, 16 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.359 no one has ever seen any whatever you're talking about, 17 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.760 whether it's a firework show, or whether it's a building, 18 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.159 or it's some experience a golf course that he played, 19 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:39.280 or whatever. That's his personality. However, Donald Trump, I think, 20 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.519 for and I've said this before, I am not a 21 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.840 Donald Trump fan per se. I think that there are 22 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:53.719 many issues that I agree with, but stylistically, he leaves 23 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:58.079 for me much to be desired. However, I think it's 24 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.560 time for the Democrats to realize that the longer that 25 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.359 they hold out on this, they just, by the way, 26 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.680 nominated a guy to become the mayor of New York 27 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.759 who is going to become the face of the Democratic 28 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.719 Party should he become the mayor of New York. This 29 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.719 guy made some statements in the wake of October seventh, 30 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:27.319 twenty twenty three, which are reprehensible, I mean just reprehensible, 31 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.520 and we at some point will we'll do a deeper 32 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:37.159 dive on that. However, the President has said and he's 33 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.319 made comments both here and now in the Hague, he 34 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.120 was treated very well by NATO members. He had a 35 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:51.479 side conversation with Zelensky. Donald Trump. If Donald Trump is 36 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.199 one thing, it is that he is not predictable. Okay. 37 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:03.719 He is standing firm on his positions, his position that 38 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:09.280 the bombing on Saturday night by the B two pilots 39 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:16.479 was a complete success. He's blaming the media, and particularly 40 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.520 those media outlets that have been most critical of him, 41 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.879 and we're talking about CNN and ms NBC. He's blaming 42 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:34.919 them for now calling into question the success of the raids, 43 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:43.039 but also whether or not the pilots should receive a. 44 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:45.719 Lot. 45 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:52.840 It's look, when President Obama took out Osama bin Lad, 46 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.080 he didn't personally take him out, but he was the 47 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:59.840 commander in chief who had to give those helicopters and 48 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.840 the men and women on those helicopters the authority to 49 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.439 go into Pakistan and take out of some event lined 50 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:14.159 which they did. We all celebrated it. What is there 51 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:19.120 My question to you is this, Why is they're not 52 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.360 a national consensus that what Donald Trump authorized. Donald Trump 53 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:31.000 didn't do this, He authorized these b two strikes on 54 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.800 Saturday night. Why is there not a consensus that this 55 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.560 was a good thing. He didn't drop nuclear bombs on Iran. 56 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:49.439 He dropped well, unconventional weapons, but non nuclear unconventional weapons, 57 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.439 which may and I hope, have put an end to 58 00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:03.160 Iran's efforts to secure nuclear weapons. Now. I haven't seen 59 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.519 any pictures of these three sites underground. There's some suggestions 60 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.480 tonight in some places, like the Jerusalem Post, which is 61 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.759 a legitimate newspaper in Israel, that there may have been 62 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:25.519 some Israeli personnel who were able to get onto the 63 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.959 scene and make some determinations. I don't know. There just 64 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.920 seems to me to be you would think, and maybe 65 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:41.920 it's just just skepticism. This is Donald Trump talking about CNN, 66 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.360 and I think that CNN, just as Fox has a bias, 67 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.120 CNN has a bias. Their bias against Donald Trump is 68 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.720 pretty clear. You can hear it in their voices, you 69 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.040 can see it in their facial expressions. This has cut 70 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.959 one a This is Donald Trump claiming victory and calling 71 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.959 out CNN, nms NBC. 72 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.240 IRAN will never rebuild it to cook from there, Absolutely not. 73 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.279 That place is under rock. That place is demolished. The 74 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.920 b two pilots did their job. They did it better 75 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.439 than anybody could even imagine. They hit late in the evening, 76 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.160 it was dark with no moon, and they hit that 77 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.079 target with every one of those things. And that place 78 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.240 is gone. But when I see CNN all night long, 79 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.279 they're trying to say, well, maybe it wasn't really as 80 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.399 demolished as we thought there was demolishing. You take a 81 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.000 look at the pinpricks and you see that place is gone. 82 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.319 And I will say, I think CNN, or to apologize 83 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.759 to the pilots of the V twos, I think that 84 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.160 MSD and CEO to apologize. I think these guys, really, 85 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.399 these networks and these cable networks are realersers, you really 86 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:54.800 are you realises. 87 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.680 He goes on. At this news conference, he asked about 88 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:08.439 regime change, and I think, unlike George W. Bush, it's 89 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.560 pretty clear this is cut number three. Please, Rob, do 90 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.800 you want to see regime change in Iran? If there 91 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.439 was there was, But no, I don't want it. 92 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.920 I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as fast. 93 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:26.160 Regime change takes chaos, and ideally we don't want to 94 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:28.160 see someone's chaos, so we'll see how it does. 95 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:36.920 So the question is is Donald Trump claiming too much 96 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:43.000 credit in your mind too early or is he not 97 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:48.160 being given enough credit by certain media outlets. I look 98 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.160 of all the data that might be out there, all 99 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:58.160 the commentary, all the expert opinions. I'm not an expert, 100 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.480 nor do I play one on the radio. However, I 101 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:08.959 look at Iran's actions. I am very surprised, in fact stunned, 102 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.480 that Iran has entered into this ceasefire which seems to 103 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.839 be holding, which seems to be holding. That is an 104 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:23.439 indication to me that their nuclear facilities have been much 105 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:30.079 more damaged than perhaps some media outlets are giving Donald 106 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.399 Trump Trump credit for I guarantee you it's going to 107 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:40.039 take at least a couple of weeks to have genuine assessments, 108 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.679 assuming people can even get down to these facilities. I 109 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.080 don't know how you gained access. I've never been in 110 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:51.279 one of these facilities. Maybe they're elevators, maybe there aren't. 111 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.559 My question is is Donald Trump overstanding what was accomplished, 112 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.879 or are some parts of the media intell understanding and 113 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.279 perhaps hoping that because it's Donald Trump, it's not as successful. 114 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.360 Let's have at it here six one, seven, two, five, 115 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.679 four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. 116 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:20.200 I celebrate what the President did. If the Iranian leaders 117 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:23.720 have been brought to their senses and they are now 118 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:28.399 willing to become a member of the Family of Nations, 119 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:32.519 if you will and not continue their pursuit of the 120 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:36.399 destruction of the state of Israel, this will be a 121 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:43.360 historic event. And at this point, at this point, all 122 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.559 the signs, the early signs, and they are early signs, 123 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.120 look positive. I want you, I want to hear your 124 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.679 point of view on this. That's all. Iran admits nuclear 125 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:03.679 sites badly damaged. That it is an MSN story. I'm 126 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.639 going to look at that, and I'd love to hear 127 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.080 from you. Six one seven two thirty six seven nine. 128 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.720 Let's have at it. 129 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.399 It's Night Side with Dan Ray, Boston's news radio. 130 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:27.120 All right, there's a story here again from MSN which 131 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.759 is not MSNBC, but it's MSN and this is out 132 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.799 of a newspaper in Asia in which says Iran has 133 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.240 officially admitted that its key nuclear facilities were badly hit 134 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:44.559 in recent US airstrikes. Foreign Ministry spokesperson s mile My 135 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.480 Guy told media that Iran's Richmond sites were badly damaged 136 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.279 and said this damage was for sure. The emission comes 137 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.240 days after Ronnie officials earlier claimed there were no signs 138 00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:03.559 of radioactive leaks. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazip Zada said Tran 139 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.279 would demand full compensation from the United States for the 140 00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:09.519 damage caused to its nuclear program. He warned that if 141 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.679 Washington refused, Iran would file a formal complaint with the 142 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.440 United Nations. Washington must pay compensation for the damages, or 143 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.080 else iron will file a complaint with the UN. Kat 144 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:27.440 is Zada told a Lebanese news agency so there's lots 145 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.919 of information out there, there's nothing to me that is dispositive. 146 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.480 The most interesting, the most interesting information, in my opinion, 147 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.240 and i'd love to compare it with yours, is what 148 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:49.120 Iran has done. Watch what they do. That's more important 149 00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:53.879 than what they say. Matt in Brighton, Matt, start us off, 150 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:54.639 Go right ahead, sir. 151 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:56.519 How you doing? 152 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:57.799 Man doing great? 153 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:03.120 You're righthead Matt, hmm, excuse me, no, you know, look, 154 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.639 I think the President did a great thing. So his 155 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:12.159 expression of saying that he is committed, you know, not him, 156 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:17.879 but his order. Absolutely there's been significant damage done. I 157 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:23.320 have seen some aerial you know, still imaging. I can't 158 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:27.320 tell off that, but clearly, as big quotes he just 159 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.200 read before, these people are not just going to American 160 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:36.639 Western media. They're making these claims, you know, we're going 161 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.200 to go to the UN, but they're saying to what 162 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.480 do you see Lebanese or a no again? 163 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:49.519 Are you surprised, and you're pretty sophisticated this. Are you 164 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.799 surprised that the ceasefires holding. I'm surprised. I'm gratified by that. 165 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.279 And I think that the only thing that I can 166 00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.159 draw from that is that Iran realizes that at this 167 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.320 point they have to participate in a ceasefire. 168 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:11.519 Well, yeah, I absolutely agree. I'm I'm not surprised because 169 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.200 it's too short of an amount of time. I'd be surprised, 170 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.960 but I would love to see nothing further happen. But 171 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.720 I expect Iran to do something. I don't know what 172 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.120 happened to that uranium. You know, maybe that got wiped out, 173 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.480 but that might still be somewhere, so those fights may 174 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:36.080 have been hit quite well. I contemplate that Iran will 175 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.600 not try and make one kind of get the last 176 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:45.080 word in type thing. But in the short I think 177 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.559 the President did a great thing. I'm happy he did that. 178 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:55.399 And now you could argue that mad you could argue 179 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.679 that maybe and someone might argue that maybe Iran is 180 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.080 just playing for some time here. I don't know, but 181 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:04.639 it just seems to me to be pretty odd that 182 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.679 in the twenty in the twenty four to forty eight 183 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.039 hours after the B two attacks on these three nuclear 184 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:17.440 sites in Iran, that Iran has basically agreed to a ceasefire. Now, 185 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:21.799 I think that President Trump was tougher on Israel on 186 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.840 Monday of this week, when that ceasefire was in jeopardy 187 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:30.879 than he was in Iran. But obviously his support in 188 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.519 a fight between Iran and Israel remains with Israel. And 189 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.639 I think the President really hopes that this thing's going 190 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.480 to hold, and I think he is an optimist that 191 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.879 that that this could be the end of it. 192 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.159 I don't know, No, I agree, I think I think it. 193 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.039 I think it could hold. I think Iran knows what 194 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.320 position they're in. They know they have no leg to 195 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:57.320 really stand on that it as in May. I don't 196 00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.320 know if that will keep him from making it action 197 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.240 against Israel. It would be an obviously bad mistake. 198 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.840 There's a huge mistake. And I think and I think 199 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.759 they understand that because of what happened on Saturday night. 200 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.240 That's all I'm trying. I think you're agreeing with me. Okay, 201 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:15.000 all right, I'm putting you. 202 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.320 Down very quickly, say very quickly, Dan, If you saw 203 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:23.720 what the President said in regards to BB today or yesterday, 204 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.759 to the him canceled and trying to squash a civil 205 00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.399 trial against him. 206 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:34.039 Yeah, I did. I can see that. Again. That's that's 207 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:39.200 a that's an issue for Israeli domestic determination. In my opinion, 208 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.320 Matt appreciate it very much. I got to keep rolling here. 209 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.159 Thank you a boud Talking to you soon. Good night, 210 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.080 Donna in Northborough, Don and welcome to night Side. 211 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.639 How are you hey, Dan, I'm all right. 212 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:49.320 How are you? 213 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.519 I'm doing great. I'd love to get your thoughts on 214 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.519 this because I'm scratching my head. I'm trying to figure 215 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.879 out any other reason why around would agree to the ceasefire. 216 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.360 Well, if they're using the un to try to get 217 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.879 reimbursed for the damage, then they're going to be good boys, 218 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.919 is my opinion. Okay, so you know there's other reasons. 219 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.720 What you said is very valid, But my thoughts were 220 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:20.639 that they want they want reimbursement for the damage and 221 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.000 so they're going to play nice at the moment while 222 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.679 in the background they might be doing some things and 223 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.039 that means we may not be happy with But I 224 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.320 had a question for you. Sure when we when we 225 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.879 when it happened, the very next day, gas went up 226 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.080 eleven cents, and then the next day after that another 227 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.799 nine cents, and then ga and then oil prices went down. Right, 228 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.960 but we're still at two ninety when us three ninety 229 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.600 when it was two seventy five before. 230 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.000 Well, do I think, I love it. 231 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:01.960 I love What did it take to come back down? 232 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.200 Yeah? Well, first of all, I suspect that just as 233 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:12.039 other companies try to take advantage, food companies try to 234 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.519 take advantage. When the tariffs were imposed on April second, 235 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.279 there were a lot of companies who said, well, now 236 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.160 that now they didn't feel the tariffs because the tariff 237 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.519 has to has to work its way through the system, 238 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.519 but they use that as an excuse. There were people 239 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:31.119 who were saying, buy your cars now because by September 240 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.000 the cars are going to be five thousand dollars more. Well, 241 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.759 I don't know that that is going to happen at 242 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.200 this point, but I think think big oil companies, the 243 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.799 big gas companies probably said this is an opportunity for 244 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.319 us to increase our profits a little bit, which is 245 00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:52.119 which is not right. And if there is any collusion 246 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.759 between the big oil companies, then there should be anti 247 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:02.880 trust action by our government against them, because look, I 248 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.279 can understand where there could have been a quick spike 249 00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.960 on Saturday night on the futures markets, but that spike 250 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.880 should have abated at this point in my opinion. 251 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.160 Right especially, and I believe that the administration itself was 252 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.039 trying to get the word out. Hey, gas prices have 253 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.240 calmed down. Hant hand hand, why are they still up? 254 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:26.640 Well, they don't have to say, hint, hand hint, But 255 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.720 I'm just trying to check it out here in the 256 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:35.559 minute or so that I have here. You know, CBS 257 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.680 News two days ago, what does the widening military conflict 258 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.480 in around mean for oil prices? Well, this was an 259 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.720 article that was done in CBS News yesterday, okay, on 260 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:50.519 June twenty fourth. At that point, the you know, they're 261 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:54.240 they're already CBS News is already raising the US military 262 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.359 strikes are raising questions about the impact of supplies on 263 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.880 oil and gas, including whether the widening conflict could result 264 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.599 in higher energy prices. Well, the more speculation you have, 265 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.759 it's almost like they're rooting for prices to go up. 266 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.559 The price of West Texas International crewed. The US benchmark 267 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.079 jumped four percent on Sunday night, as you suggested, after 268 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.720 the start of training, but fell more than several percent 269 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.880 of Monday afternoon. So what's the story here. It seems 270 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:24.640 to me that it went up a little bit and 271 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.599 it came down more. So it's three percent better on 272 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:31.680 Monday afternoon than it was before the attack and exactly 273 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:34.720 and the headline that CBS News has here. Why is 274 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.160 the widening military conflict? What does the widening military conflict? 275 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.559 It's like you make it up stories here, folks, Come on, 276 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.920 follow tell us the news. I'm going to check during 277 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.839 the matter of fact, I'm going to try to check 278 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.680 right now. Let me see if I can get futures 279 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:55.920 of oil prices here, which is reality? And let's see 280 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:58.680 if if you're right or wrong on this one. I 281 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:04.759 suspect you're right. Futures oil futures today? What do we 282 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.920 what do we have here? It's it's too complicated to 283 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:16.279 look at. Let's see here. I'll get this during the break, okay, 284 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:20.200 and I'll give you some numbers. On the other side, 285 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:25.000 I can't. I don't multitask as well as I should, 286 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:25.839 that's for sure. 287 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:27.720 Yeah. 288 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:31.559 Well, I appreciate it, and I do. I do agree 289 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.839 with you on a lot. I'm happy that you know 290 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:39.400 I Ran appears to be acquiescing somewhat. I'm a little 291 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:42.000 concerned about what's going on in the background. But I 292 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:46.400 think my opinion, along with other things that you said, 293 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.640 that they want to play nice so they can get 294 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:51.440 some money out of this. 295 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.799 Yeah. And by the way, let's see at twelve fifteen 296 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:02.880 today crude oil. This is just one benchmark. Was it 297 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.440 was sixty five not almost sixty six dollars? Okay, so 298 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:14.359 we're sixty five ninety five right now? What is the time? 299 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.759 Right now? Yeah, right now, right now, at this time, 300 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.039 I'm going to give it to you. As of twelve 301 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.000 twenty three thirty, which it is right now, the future 302 00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.559 price is down sixty to sixty five and twelve sixty 303 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:31.240 five dollars and twelve cents, So it's you know, in 304 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:33.920 the space of a few hours, it's dropped. 305 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:36.480 This. 306 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.440 Look, something could happen tonight and everything could go crazy. 307 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:46.359 But at this point, the media is not giving appropriate coverage, 308 00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:49.519 in my opinion, to what the reality is. And I 309 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:53.880 have yet to see one major media outlet even asked 310 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.200 the question that I'm asking and saying, I'm interested in 311 00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.559 what Iran is doing, not a more interesting they're doing, 312 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.640 not what they're saying. And that's what that's what we 313 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.359 should be trained to be looking at. Donna, I love 314 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.000 your calls. Keep calling my show, will you you make 315 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.799 You're one of my most sensible callers. Thank you so much. 316 00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.720 I love your show, Dan, take care, Thanks. 317 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:16.039 Donna, talk to you soon. Have a great night. We'll 318 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:17.599 take a break. Here's the news at the bottom of 319 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:18.759 the hour. We'll be right back. 320 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:23.960 It's Night Side with Dan Ray on. 321 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.839 Boston's news radio. 322 00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:31.400 We're talking about the Middle East, and we're talking about 323 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:35.160 actually good news. Okay, I know most people don't want 324 00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:42.519 to celebrate good news, but I'm I feel as optimistic 325 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.920 about the Middle East tonight as I have in many nights, 326 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:54.599 many many nights. Looking at an article here from CNBC 327 00:22:55.640 --> 00:23:06.319 shuld Israel around ceasefire, hold, these are futures. Oil futures 328 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:12.920 could fall to mid fifties to sixties, meaning from fifty 329 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:20.960 five to sixty. Dan Pickery, an energy partner analyst, says yeah, 330 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:25.480 I mean that's pretty obvious. I still am looking for 331 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:32.039 people to agree or disagree with my theory that Iran 332 00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:36.920 is engaging in this ceasefire because they feel that what 333 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.640 was happening was not good for Iran. Pretty simple, Okay, 334 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.480 you can call it simplistic. John is in Boston. Hey, John, 335 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.440 you're next do Nightside. 336 00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:50.680 Welcome, Thanks Dan. Dan. I just wanted to mention that 337 00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:55.119 I believe that those bombs is amazing damage there. But 338 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.960 I don't know how CNN would know or any even 339 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.480 our own military intelligence right now is so it just 340 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.880 happened a few days ago, and those bombs only go 341 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.279 down like two hundred feet and then another one after, so 342 00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.960 I'm sure there's massive damage being under three hundred feet 343 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:14.799 of granted, So it's just interesting that CNN would mention 344 00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:17.279 that when they were the same ones the professional journalists 345 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.960 reported Joe Biden was completely healthy. They were the same 346 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.799 ones that reported that fifty one intelligence agents said that 347 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:27.119 the laptop was a Russian hoax, and now we're supposed 348 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:30.440 to believe them when they say that basically, Trump's making 349 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:32.160 up the amount of damage. So I don't The bottom 350 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.640 line is I think the fact that Israel is not counterattacking. 351 00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:39.200 They would be if it wasn't completely destroyed, and just 352 00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:43.079 the evidence of what's going on there now also just 353 00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:47.079 want measuring Forden. I believe the FBI has that investigation 354 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.720 on the caaren recase, and I think that I'd just 355 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.240 like to see the evidence, all the evidence on that, 356 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.680 and I think the publics be pretty amazed. It's captured 357 00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.079 the public's attention. And on June seventeenth, and you had 358 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.640 on a podcast I was listening. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, 359 00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.960 but on episode three you quoted me as mentioning I 360 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.599 think it was referring to the opposite Kelly gave us 361 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.559 going to the police Commissioner's office. Just so you know, 362 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.599 I didn't actually even talk about that because I was 363 00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.920 the last call. On episode two, I never mentioned her 364 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:20.559 to you or I didn't even talk about the police 365 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:22.920 commission So I'm sure you might have been referring to 366 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:23.680 another call, but. 367 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:25.880 There could have been another There could have been another 368 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.200 person from Boston named John. John is not an uncommon name. 369 00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.519 I don't you know. Again, I'm sitting here John.
