Speaker 1: It's nightside with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's knee
Speaker 1: radio ninety degrees at eleven o'clock at night. All right,
Speaker 1: let me give you a little insight into tomorrow. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the headline that the New York Times will
Speaker 1: be printing or is printing now. Ceasefire between Israel and
Speaker 1: Iran appears to hold after Trump rebuke. The truce went
Speaker 1: into effect after pressure from President Trump and cut and Cutter.
Speaker 1: Israel said its forces were now shifting their attention back
Speaker 1: to Gaza. Okay, let me go to the end of
Speaker 1: the article here, which I think has some information that
Speaker 1: is particularly important. Israel and Iran each framed the truce
Speaker 1: as a victory. Mister Nataniaou celebrated an historic victory in
Speaker 1: an address to the nation and said Israel had rendered
Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear project useless. He added, Israel has never had
Speaker 1: a friend like President Trump in the White House. The
Speaker 1: Iranian National Security Council said Tehran had forced the enemy
Speaker 1: to regret and accept defeat and unilaterally stop its aggression.
Speaker 1: But in a phone call with the leader of the
Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates, Iran's president is not the Ayatollah, but
Speaker 1: the President Mussud Peshekian, said Tehran was ready to resolve
Speaker 1: issues at the negotiating table, According to an official readout
Speaker 1: of the call by mister Pasekian's office, he also asked
Speaker 1: the Emoradi leader to tell the United States that Iran
Speaker 1: was simply seeking its legitimate rights and has no demands
Speaker 1: on this and definitely has not and will not seek
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon. The statement suggested that Iran, despite earlier
Speaker 1: failed talks, was willing to engage in diplomacy. Well, I
Speaker 1: think that's pretty interesting. A preliminary, clim classified US report
Speaker 1: says the American bombing of Iran's nuclear site sealed off
Speaker 1: the entrances of two of the facilities, but did not
Speaker 1: collapse their underground buildings, According to officials familiar with the findings,
Speaker 1: the report said much of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium
Speaker 1: had been moved before the strikes, which destroyed little of
Speaker 1: the nuclear material. The early finis concluded that the strikes
Speaker 1: set back Iran's nuclear program by only a few months.
Speaker 1: The official said, now, again, these are leaks, so you
Speaker 1: have to look at leaks with some skepticism. The Israeli
Speaker 1: military's chief of staff Lieutenant General Al Zemir said on
Speaker 1: Tuesday that Israeli forces were now shifting their attention back
Speaker 1: to Gaza as the ceasefire with Iran appeared to be holding.
Speaker 1: The focus, he said in the stadium was to bring
Speaker 1: home the hostages, said in a statement was to bring
Speaker 1: home the hostages and top of Iran's rules. Analysts said,
Speaker 1: mister net Yahu routing a way of Israeli public support
Speaker 1: for the war against Iran. May now I'll be in
Speaker 1: a stronger position Togo see an end to the devastating
Speaker 1: war in Gaza that began more than twenty months ago.
Speaker 1: So I mean I'm optimistic, Okay, I'm always an optimist.
Speaker 1: And the reporters who I've just quoted from, there's a
Speaker 1: whole lot of them, but primarily Isabelle Kirshner, Aaron Boxerman,
Speaker 1: Maggie Haberman, and Michael Levinson. So with that, I want
Speaker 1: to know what you think. Are you optimistic like I am?
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I would rather be optimistic than my
Speaker 1: friend Glenn, who seems to be pessimistic. Let's keep rolling here.
Speaker 1: We're going to go next to David and Maine. David,
Speaker 1: appreciate your patience waiting through the news. You are next
Speaker 1: on nightside. I wanted to read people what was being
Speaker 1: going to be set in the New York Times tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, David, Yes, because to hear from you sometimes
Speaker 2: I heard on the radio. I use it transistor radio.
Speaker 2: I lived up in the Deep Wilderness and Auto, Maine.
Speaker 2: I used to I used to work as a chef
Speaker 2: in Boston, but I've been retired for twelve years and
Speaker 2: I live in the Deep Woods. But I do pick
Speaker 2: up WBZ from time to time, and I always I
Speaker 2: kind of miss the radio stations down in that area
Speaker 2: because that's where I'm originally from. But here's the thing
Speaker 2: that's puzzling me. Oil is a major commodity for Russia.
Speaker 2: They produce a lot of it, and I think Russia.
Speaker 2: I commend Trump for doing what he did, because I
Speaker 2: think that was the only move that he could have
Speaker 2: on the chessboard of trying to get rid of the
Speaker 2: Iranian new program. However, what I don't understand is how
Speaker 2: Camoran hasn't blown up the oil installations all around the
Speaker 2: Gulf of Camoose, because that was then the price of
Speaker 2: a barrel of oil maybe to one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: a barrel, and that would really help usher out, which is,
Speaker 2: by the way, Iran's number one. Ally, how come they
Speaker 2: haven't done that, Well, they That's an obvious thing. And
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if if Iran is so fixated with Israel,
Speaker 2: they might have lost sight of the only option that
Speaker 2: they probably have in their arsenal Well, they.
Speaker 1: Rely upon oil as well, uh, and they have a
Speaker 1: lot of oil facilities that are well within the range
Speaker 1: of US offshore ships. So you could have sort of
Speaker 1: a mutual assured destruction situation there whereby what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is Trump may have told Iran, you mess
Speaker 1: with the straights straight of home oves and you're going
Speaker 1: to lose your oil production facilities. And if you lose
Speaker 1: your oil production facilities, it really doesn't matter what the
Speaker 1: price of oil is, because if you have nothing to sell,
Speaker 1: what difference does it make.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing is that, in a roundabout way,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking that it would actually level the playing field
Speaker 2: because if the global economy tanks.
Speaker 3: Then the overall.
Speaker 2: Strategic situation changes dramatically because suddenly Russia has this high
Speaker 2: commodity of oil to sell if the price goes through
Speaker 2: the route, because Russia is a major producer. They are
Speaker 2: a basket economy. Anyways, I hate everything that Russia is.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Well, again, I don't know that Aron wants to
Speaker 1: help Russia that much. It would seem to me that
Speaker 1: our planners, our military planners, probably have thought of this possibility.
Speaker 1: We'll have to see other places. I will always say this,
Speaker 1: here's what Here are the canaries and the goal in
Speaker 1: the in the coal mine. You might want to think about,
Speaker 1: what is the stock market done in the last two days.
Speaker 1: It's gone up twice.
Speaker 2: That's a good Yeah, well, well that's a good sign.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing is that that's the only that's
Speaker 2: the only possible option I would think Iran would have
Speaker 2: because I thought I Ran and Russia were like extremely close.
Speaker 2: I guess they're not as close as I thought they were.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think you're right. I think they're close. But
Speaker 1: but again I think that Iran may realize, after what
Speaker 1: happened to them on Saturday night, that that President Trump
Speaker 1: means says what he means, and means what he said
Speaker 1: what he says, I mean, you know, it means that's all. Look,
Speaker 1: something happened. Why is why? Why is that?
Speaker 2: Look at that war that was bought between Iran and Iraq.
Speaker 2: That was an eight and a half to nine year
Speaker 2: war between that I had told a committee that not
Speaker 2: case in Iran versus Saddam Hussein. About a million or
Speaker 2: Iraqis died in about one and a half million Iranians died.
Speaker 2: The border changed hardly, nothing changed. I might have changed
Speaker 2: two or three times. The Iranians battle hardened to long battles.
Speaker 2: I think what Iran might try to do, even though
Speaker 2: they're extremely weak, is to draw us into this thing
Speaker 2: by maybe just blowing up everything on the Persian Gulf,
Speaker 2: even if they have nothing to sell and they lose everything.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I Am not going to be
Speaker 1: as dystopian. I'm not going to be as pessimistic as that.
Speaker 1: All the signs that I see as of right now
Speaker 1: are pointing in the right direction. And I'm trying to
Speaker 1: talk to people rationally. And You've been one of my
Speaker 1: rational callers tonight for which I appreciate this. David, Have
Speaker 1: you retired? I want I'm more interested in you. You
Speaker 1: said you're up in the backwoods. You made did you retire?
Speaker 1: Are you done working?
Speaker 2: I'm I'm close to my mid seventies.
Speaker 3: I'm happier up here.
Speaker 2: I live in the wilderness. Uh, good for you, good
Speaker 2: for the I I missed the city, and it's in
Speaker 2: its own way. But you know, when you when you
Speaker 2: when you're when you own a lot of land and
Speaker 2: you live in the wilderness, it's a kind of a
Speaker 2: different world. It's it's I'll tell you, it's all trumpy
Speaker 2: up here. The people are mainly good in a Rooster
Speaker 2: County for the most Well.
Speaker 1: How far are you from the Canadian border? How far
Speaker 1: are you from the Canadian border?
Speaker 2: I'm only twelve miles because Holton was right on the
Speaker 2: Canadian border literally, and.
Speaker 1: Well, if you want to go to the big city,
Speaker 1: you can ride down in bangor.
Speaker 2: Someday, or I guess I could go to fred Erington,
Speaker 2: which is on the other side of the border as well.
Speaker 1: Look, thank you for Have you ever called before? Now
Speaker 1: this is your first time?
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, I've called you people a long time ago,
Speaker 2: several times.
Speaker 4: But you know, well I.
Speaker 1: Don't know who you people are. Is this the first
Speaker 1: time you called my show Nightside with Dan Ray?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, I've called
Speaker 2: up the shows on the same station.
Speaker 1: But again, Dave. My question. Focus with me for a
Speaker 1: second here. Yeah, I'm asking you for a reason. Is
Speaker 1: this the first time you called my show, Dan Ray
Speaker 1: with Nightside on Nightside?
Speaker 2: I believe so.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, we want to give you a round of applause
Speaker 1: as the first time caller. Okay, that's I wanted to
Speaker 1: be welcoming. That's all. Please, I'm looking forward to your
Speaker 1: second call. You're a rational caller. Thank you much appreciate it, David.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Have a great one, good night. We'll take a break,
Speaker 1: coming right back on Nightside, night Side with Dan Ray
Speaker 1: on Boston's news radio. I guess I'm the only person
Speaker 1: in America who's someone optimistic tonight. And based upon what
Speaker 1: I have seen, the fact that the stock market is up,
Speaker 1: the fact that the truth seems to be holding, the
Speaker 1: fact that the New York Times is acknowledging that this truce,
Speaker 1: this ceasefire, seems to be holding the fact that Iran,
Speaker 1: who has been a pain in our butt for forty
Speaker 1: six years, who Iran that killed over two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty US Marines in Beirut in nineteen eighty three, and
Speaker 1: whose roadside bombs killed American soldiers, a thousand at least
Speaker 1: can be attributable to the Iranian roadside bombs. They have been.
Speaker 1: They have been the puppeteers of Hezbollah Hamas the hooties
Speaker 1: isis this? I guess I'm the only one that's seeing
Speaker 1: this as a positive. Everybody else thinks it's bad anyway.
Speaker 1: If you agree with me five, If you disagree with me,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Let me go next to Bill in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: build next on night side garight ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, Dad, You're not alone. I'm with you. I'm
Speaker 3: very positive because of the news that you just gave
Speaker 3: us about the New York Times, and I think Maggie
Speaker 3: Haberman was in on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you never know who contributed what, but
Speaker 1: clearly the Times is looking at it, you know, fairly
Speaker 1: objectively as they should and basically saying, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that Trump screwed up when he did the
Speaker 1: social post. It was like, these guys are going to
Speaker 1: stop fighting, and this would be like being in a
Speaker 1: heavyweight fight and saying, well, you know, Mohammad Ali is
Speaker 1: going to fight for twelve rounds and the thirteenth round
Speaker 1: he's not going to throw any punches. And then Joe
Speaker 1: Fraser will fight through the thirteenth round, and he'll stop
Speaker 1: throwing punches in the fourteenth round. I mean, you'd say,
Speaker 1: what are you nuts, honey?
Speaker 3: Oh, you're right, hey, hey. And the other thing that
Speaker 3: I think, I think this is a fact that the uh,
Speaker 3: the the vest that the terrorists used to uh blow
Speaker 3: up Abby Gate, I think that was an Iranian built vest.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't surprise me, wouldn't surprise me at all. Iranian supplied. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And another thing, yeah, and the other thing is if
Speaker 3: you go back to uh uh North Korea. Okay, we
Speaker 3: are time and time again. Obama was the president at
Speaker 3: the time. They're not going to get the nukes underneath
Speaker 3: my watch and they're not gonna and they were actually
Speaker 3: they were actually under negotiation table when all of a sudden, uh,
Speaker 3: North Korea, you know, gets gets a nuke and and
Speaker 3: uh and this that's one thing that Trump is not
Speaker 3: going to let that happen again for sure.
Speaker 1: Particularly with with Iran. Again, I don't think that that
Speaker 1: many in my audience, and which really disappoints me. This
Speaker 1: is a theocracy and it's the only other theocracy in
Speaker 1: the world that I know of is the Vatican, and
Speaker 1: the Vatican is a theocracy. It's a nation state only
Speaker 1: on a few acres of land inside the city of Rome.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have any nuclear weapons. If these nut jobs
Speaker 1: got nuclear weapons, god knows what they do with them.
Speaker 1: I have a pretty good idea what they'd like to
Speaker 1: do with them.
Speaker 3: These are these are these are medieval people. Most of
Speaker 3: them are medieval people that want to have arma gett.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're looking forward to it. So we
Speaker 3: weren't a much we'ren't a much safer world today. These
Speaker 3: people that are running around saying that we're not, they're
Speaker 3: they're fooling themselves. But what's happening right now, Dan, I
Speaker 3: think that I think that, uh, the the Trump people
Speaker 3: are sandbagging the press. I think in a few days
Speaker 3: we're going to come out and maybe it'll week and
Speaker 3: we're gonna come out. We're going to actually find it,
Speaker 3: find out that, yes, in fact, that that facility up
Speaker 3: there at four to oh, okay, well.
Speaker 1: We'll see. I'm not I'm not ready to predict that
Speaker 1: because I'm not going to go out on a limb
Speaker 1: for something like that. But I'll tell you, let's see
Speaker 1: what happens. All I know is this here's what I know.
Speaker 1: I know that the bombs fell on Saturday night, and
Speaker 1: that it's now Tuesday and there's a cease fire. Something
Speaker 1: has changed. Something has changed, uh, and I think I
Speaker 1: know what it is. And I think that there's probably
Speaker 1: more damage down there than the than the Iranians want
Speaker 1: to acknowledge. And we'll see what happens. Bill has always
Speaker 1: appreciate you call.
Speaker 5: You know that.
Speaker 1: Thank you much.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 1: All right, let me go to Peg Peg in New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: We have three ladies lined up in a row here.
Speaker 1: I like this Peg in New Hampshire. Hi Peg, how
Speaker 1: are you?
Speaker 6: Hi Dan? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: Doing great tonight? Thanks so much for calling to hear you.
Speaker 6: I have it's been a while. Sorry that I work
Speaker 6: those funny hours, but I have to tell you some
Speaker 6: nights you deserve a gold star, and tonight some of
Speaker 6: your callers, you deserve a gold star, just saying then
Speaker 6: out there for you.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 6: So anyways, I honestly I'm only catching part of the
Speaker 6: news because I do work long hours. I am with you.
Speaker 6: I am very optimistic, but you and I are smart.
Speaker 6: We're not going to lower our guns sort of say,
Speaker 6: you know, not ever, I mean, hey.
Speaker 4: This is great. You know, I'm not going to fully
Speaker 4: trust you, but this is good. Yeah, it's a start.
Speaker 1: As Ronald Reagan said, trust but verify. So let's see
Speaker 1: what happens. All I know is this that for some
Speaker 1: something has happened in the last seventy two hours which
Speaker 1: has convinced Iran that they have decided to go back
Speaker 1: and and and stop stop this war. Oh, this battle,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, this skirmish is more
Speaker 1: than a skirmish. Okay. So the only thing I can
Speaker 1: think of is what happened on Saturday night. At there
Speaker 1: are three nuclear power plants, plights sites. So we'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think it's I think it's all positive
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 4: Uh it is.
Speaker 6: We've never seen it. We've never seen in history. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's been a crazy country.
Speaker 1: And I think that Trump, President Trump took Yahou to
Speaker 1: the woodshed this morning, reading between the lines. I think
Speaker 1: that he let b be net Yaho know that hey,
Speaker 1: we're not messing around here. We did. We did a
Speaker 1: big favor to them. So hey, I I'm I feel
Speaker 1: more positive right now about the Middle East that I haven't.
Speaker 1: While I would have to go back to September of
Speaker 1: I don't know twenty twenty when the Abraham Accords were
Speaker 1: being signed, and maybe the Abraham Accords can be broadened
Speaker 1: now as a result. I don't think Iran's ready to
Speaker 1: sign the Abraham Accords, but maybe some maybe Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: is ready to Iran hates Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia hates Iran.
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia is on our side. It's been a while,
Speaker 1: it's taken a while to get in there. But this,
Speaker 1: there's a lot that's positive here. Let's be positive.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and that's that's what we're saying, and positivety.
Speaker 6: Being positive doesn't mean being stupid about it, like you said,
Speaker 6: Like I said, we're going to be on our guard.
Speaker 6: But hey, it's a start. Let's go far it So
Speaker 6: it is good?
Speaker 1: Got it? Hey, peg, great to you your voice, Thank.
Speaker 2: You so much, chocolate.
Speaker 1: Okay, great night. Got a couple of open lines open
Speaker 1: up six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six
Speaker 1: one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. A lot of
Speaker 1: my I call us, who normally are big trumpet callers,
Speaker 1: have kind of gone in deep underground. Maybe they're afraid
Speaker 1: that that this that we may be looking at this
Speaker 1: wrong incorrectly. I don't know. I'm not let me go
Speaker 1: next to Carol in Randolph. Carol, you were next on Nightside. Welcome.
Speaker 7: Hey Dan.
Speaker 8: I agree with everything you're saying much. I just want
Speaker 8: to think. I mean, I think that was planned out
Speaker 8: months ago. You know, I think Trump and nat who
Speaker 8: had this out planned out months ago. And I am
Speaker 8: so happy. I was so happy on Saturday Night. It's like,
Speaker 8: finally we have a president that can do this. And
Speaker 8: the only thing that really got be disheartened was the media.
Speaker 8: It's like the main stream media would not acknowledge that, yes,
Speaker 8: this is important and guess something good is happening. They
Speaker 8: did everything they could to downplay it. Eron Burnette, she
Speaker 8: should be ashamed of herself.
Speaker 1: It's funny. You can tell. It's almost like a baseball umpire.
Speaker 1: And I always use baseball analogies, but if you watch
Speaker 1: the first inning and one of these umpires is inconsistent,
Speaker 1: and you know a ball that is off the plate,
Speaker 1: is they're calling strikes against the Red Sox. Uh, you
Speaker 1: just say, it's going to be a long night. And
Speaker 1: there are people, and Erin Burnett is one of them
Speaker 1: where you just have a sense of you know, what
Speaker 1: she feels like, and she can't even hide it. You know,
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow, Rachel Maddow, who I respect immensely comes out
Speaker 1: and says it. You know, she's with MSNBC and Bill.
Speaker 1: Everybody looks at Rachel and you know where Rachel's coming from.
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's fine. But let me let me tell
Speaker 1: you when what But you look at Erin Burnette and
Speaker 1: you just it. It's it exudes how it was.
Speaker 8: She was disslated. Don't they have a peace agreement?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like, what do you want? Do you want
Speaker 8: us to go to war?
Speaker 6: Eron?
Speaker 8: It's that what you were waiting for. Yeah, it's well,
Speaker 8: why can they not ever give this man credit for
Speaker 8: what he's done.
Speaker 1: Well, the funny thing about it is that he comes
Speaker 1: from this attitude of, uh, you know, what's good for
Speaker 1: business is good for America. He's kind of a many
Speaker 1: many ways to throwback, and they don't understand him. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things he does that I disagree with,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, However, there's when he when
Speaker 1: he does things that are positive, I'm going to agree
Speaker 1: with it. I'm gonna I'm gonna say it. It's as
Speaker 1: simple as that. I'm going to tell you what I believe.
Speaker 1: And this seems to me to be a moment in time. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't want to necessarily hurt see the Iranian people hurt.
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for anything like that. But I don't
Speaker 1: want to see the people who run around get a
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon.
Speaker 8: That's exactly I would like to see the Iranian people
Speaker 8: be free.
Speaker 1: Well, that would be great too, but you know they're
Speaker 1: gonna have They're gonna have to do that on their own.
Speaker 1: And the problem is there's no.
Speaker 8: Second I love how Trump said, that's up to them. Yeah,
Speaker 8: it is the proble what he did, it's up to them.
Speaker 1: The problem is that the fifteen percent who supports the
Speaker 1: the country over there, they have all the weapons. The
Speaker 1: eighty five percent who don't support the country, there's no
Speaker 1: Second Amendment, there's no right to keep in bare arms.
Speaker 8: They're gonna, Thank goodness, and tonight, Dan, all the news is, well,
Speaker 8: we don't think that he really that the US military
Speaker 8: really hit the nuclear things. We don't think that they're
Speaker 8: really disarmed. It's like, what do people want?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Oh.
Speaker 8: My god, can you be more negative? And if there
Speaker 8: was ever a moment for bipartisanship, this was it Saturday
Speaker 8: when our country should have come together as Americans and
Speaker 8: said this is a good thing.
Speaker 1: Carol, do me a favorite call my show more often?
Speaker 1: Would you appreciate it?
Speaker 8: Good talking with you.
Speaker 1: Thanks to talk to someone who's positive. Thanks, Carol, appreciate
Speaker 1: the call. I know that if you disagree with Carol,
Speaker 1: you're welcome to call. The only line is six one, seven, nine, one,
Speaker 1: ten thirty B right back on nightside.
Speaker 4: Right after this, you're on night side with Dan Ray on.
Speaker 5: Radio.
Speaker 1: Everybody's taking the lead shift tonight. They never go to
Speaker 1: Dot and Medford. Dot, I know what you're going to say,
Speaker 1: Go right ahead, Dot.
Speaker 9: How do you know?
Speaker 6: How do you know?
Speaker 1: Because I think I know you're a big Donald Trump supporter.
Speaker 9: Of course I am. Hundreds of thousands pound bombs to
Speaker 9: destroy another country. We should mind. Oh, nett Ya who
Speaker 9: said jump and he jumped?
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
Speaker 9: Hmm you believable.
Speaker 1: And you're down. Dot is down on Trump.
Speaker 9: We're going to be paid back for this. You just
Speaker 9: watch watch It's terrible. But I know I know what's
Speaker 9: going to happen. I can see it well we're going
Speaker 9: to be paid back for what we did. And Glenn
Speaker 9: was right. I was totally on Glenn's side tonight.
Speaker 1: Well, Glenn was just such a Debbie downer right tonight.
Speaker 2: You're not he should be.
Speaker 9: I'm a downer too. I'm furious curious.
Speaker 1: I think that Glenn was really depressed. I don't think
Speaker 1: I think you're angry, which is good.
Speaker 9: I'm angry. Well, I mean I don't get depressed too easy.
Speaker 1: I guess that's what I'm saying. I've never known you.
Speaker 9: I did call the White House today and I got
Speaker 9: the message line, and I gave my name and the
Speaker 9: whole bit, and I strongly suggested that since Donald and
Speaker 9: his two older sons never served, I think he should
Speaker 9: sign Baron up for the army.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we'll see what happens. We'll see what.
Speaker 9: Don't you think that's a good idea?
Speaker 1: No, I don't think that.
Speaker 9: Why should everybody else's kids go?
Speaker 1: Well, I think that Baron has the right to go,
Speaker 1: and I think there's no draft.
Speaker 9: He's all he's old.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 9: Should sign him up the money where his mouth is.
Speaker 1: I think, okay, this is from something. How many times
Speaker 1: you vote for Trump? Three times?
Speaker 9: Yes, okay, so if he ran again against Haaris, I
Speaker 9: probably have to do it again.
Speaker 1: You anticipated my next question, all right, Dot, I hope
Speaker 1: the President isn't listening over in the Hague tonight, because
Speaker 1: well I hope he is.
Speaker 6: I hope he is.
Speaker 9: Okay, curious, I'm furious.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, look, I don't want you to settle
Speaker 1: down here.
Speaker 9: I'm blowing a gasket.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no. Whatever. Rather have you do is
Speaker 1: instead of blow a gasket, have a glass of wine.
Speaker 9: Well maybe Scotch would be better.
Speaker 1: Well that could be true, but you know that's your choice.
Speaker 9: Okay, Thanks, do I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Good night, Good good night, Frank Is in Boston. Frank
Speaker 1: you're next time nights. I go right ahead, you, sir.
Speaker 5: It seems to me like we got ourselves into this
Speaker 5: problem when we canceled the last deal we had with Iran,
Speaker 5: and now we're making up for for the cancelation of
Speaker 5: the deal that we already had. Number one, Number two,
Speaker 5: Iran might have stopped firing missiles because they didn't want
Speaker 5: any more buncle bombs dropping on their land, because they
Speaker 5: had hidden most of the centrifuels in some other area.
Speaker 5: That would end up getting bombed if they had kept
Speaker 5: this little.
Speaker 1: War up, well that that could be that could be
Speaker 1: a disincentive. Frank, Yeah, But the idea is that maybe
Speaker 1: maybe the arrival of the Bunkle bombs sent a message.
Speaker 5: Well you noticed there's a controversy going on that it
Speaker 5: might not have been effective as we thought. I mean,
Speaker 5: we have never used these bombs. He's only been there
Speaker 5: has only been a scenario.
Speaker 1: So why so if they weren't as effected. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you, what do you attribute Iran's decision to engage
Speaker 1: apparently willingly in a ceasefire. Do you think that they
Speaker 1: have developed the love for Israel? Sure?
Speaker 5: You know, I think they did it to keep them
Speaker 5: more bars being dropped because they moved them, moved the
Speaker 5: equipment to some other area, and that if they kept
Speaker 5: firing then they would end up getting more bombs dropped
Speaker 5: on their land. Plus when is this going to end?
Speaker 5: I mean, first they took out Iraq, when they took
Speaker 5: out this major gun in Iraq that was being built
Speaker 5: by American scientist's way way back, because they were afraid
Speaker 5: that they would end up getting a powerful weapon because
Speaker 5: now they want Iran now, So next is going to
Speaker 5: be Saudi Arabia and next is going to be Kuwait.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so, Sau.
Speaker 5: Do youation is an event?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Israel? Frank?
Speaker 5: I think we need to be leary of the fact
Speaker 5: that they are an authoritarian government. You have a guy.
Speaker 1: Who was which government is more Which government, Frank? Frank
Speaker 1: in your opinion? I'm just curious which government is more authoritarian,
Speaker 1: Iran or Israel in your opinion?
Speaker 5: Both of them? Guy?
Speaker 1: What what was it was? My question? Frank? Is I
Speaker 1: just want to make sure I understand your answers. That's
Speaker 1: all that that Israel and Iran equally authoritarian.
Speaker 5: At this point?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see, Okay, which which of the which government?
Speaker 1: Which of those two governments have democratic elections? Iran or Israel?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 5: You the other day Israel, But the other day Israel
Speaker 5: was fighting to keep letting now who from taking over
Speaker 5: the court system?
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, let me ask you this other question, Frank, Frank,
Speaker 1: let me ask you do you have any gay friends? Frank?
Speaker 5: What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Well? Which government? Which government executes people for being gay?
Speaker 1: Israel or Iran?
Speaker 5: Oh? Israel? I mean, I'm sorry, I ran.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Iran.
Speaker 5: What does that have to do with Well.
Speaker 1: If you're talking about an authoritarian government and they're being
Speaker 1: equally authoritarian if you happen to be a gay person,
Speaker 1: I don't know that they'd agree with that. To be
Speaker 1: really honest with you, Well, that's.
Speaker 5: Not the point. The point is that you have a
Speaker 5: man who's been elected. You got a guy who was
Speaker 5: put in charge of the defense ministry the other day,
Speaker 5: and he was categorized as a terrorist his own country.
Speaker 5: Categorize as a terrorists.
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about? Who are you talking who
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Him? Sorry? Who are you talking about?
Speaker 5: One of the defense ministers in Israel? Oh, the categorized
Speaker 5: as a terrorists. He tried to blow up He tried
Speaker 5: to blow up a bridge in his own country. The
Speaker 5: old countryman CATEGORIZM and terrorists and he's a defense minister.
Speaker 1: Now, okay, well again, let me ask you, Frank. I
Speaker 1: gotta ask you a final freg I gotta ask you
Speaker 1: a final honest question. And you're a great caller. And
Speaker 1: the reason, even though we disagree on a lot of things,
Speaker 1: you give me some honest answers. Frank, If I said
Speaker 1: to you, you got two choices. You could live in
Speaker 1: Israel or you could live in Iran. Which which country
Speaker 1: would you choose to live in?
Speaker 5: Again, you're giving me stuff that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I'm asking you. I'm asking you a question. If I
Speaker 1: said to you which country? If I said to you
Speaker 1: where would you rather live? Canada or North Korea? I
Speaker 1: think you'd tell me Canada, would you not?

Speaker 4: those three Iraqi freedom landed in Prince Sulton. I saw
Speaker 4: about two hundred fighter planes all loaded on the ramps
Speaker 4: with bombs, which you never see because they don't want
Speaker 4: that stuff out there, and everything lined up ready to go.
Speaker 4: We knew where to go, and you know, there's all
Speaker 4: the stuff in a un going on. There were protests
Speaker 4: out in town every Friday because their weekend is Friday
Speaker 4: and Saturday. Their Holy day is different than ours, and
Speaker 4: their protests. We weren't allowed to go in town at
Speaker 4: all because the protests on Fridays because that's their Saturday.
Speaker 4: And when we finally crossed that border, I was airborne
Speaker 4: by three thirty in the morning March nineteenth. Saw the
Speaker 4: carriers turned into the wind. I saw the cruise missiles
Speaker 4: heading north. And when we got back to base uh
Speaker 4: two weeks later, we were allowed to go out again
Speaker 4: into town to do some stuff. Protests were all gone.

Speaker 4: that point, plus military bases that they had, whatever country
Speaker 4: it was, whether it was Saudi Arabia, Kuwait. You didn't
Speaker 4: see protests in Kuwait. They were still very grateful for
Speaker 4: doesn't storm. But every base was stacked with NATO aircraft
Speaker 4: and especially US aircraft, Like we had US forces stuffed
Speaker 4: in the international airports, indigenous military bases, like every base
Speaker 4: had you a US contingent on it, just getting ready
Speaker 4: to go north. We had four which we spent six
Speaker 4: months getting everything forward, deployed and we were ready to
Speaker 4: pull the trigger when we did. And once we pulled
Speaker 4: the trigger, and this is what tells you about their
Speaker 4: value system over there, the protest stopped. And I you know,
Speaker 4: after six deployments over there, have made friends in town
Speaker 4: over there, in different cities over there and they're like,
Speaker 4: thank you. You did what you said you were going
Speaker 4: to do. That's all we were waiting for us.

Speaker 12: And I think they really put the deft blow into
Speaker 12: the nuclear uh ambitions of the of the Iranians. But
Speaker 12: I think the Lanians are using the youth aliens by
Speaker 12: saying that we still have a program and it didn't
Speaker 12: us that much because they know he is real, He's
Speaker 12: really no. Everything that's going on over there.
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think the best proof. I think
Speaker 1: the best proof of it is why are they at
Speaker 1: why have they engaged in the ceasefire at this point?
Speaker 1: I think that's that it's look look at what they do,
Speaker 1: not what they say. It's always a good rule of thumb.

Speaker 1: me go real quickly here. Listen Allison, excuse me Allison

Speaker 10: is increased terrorism. Maybe not state sponsored terrorism, but it's
Speaker 10: going to increase it. It'll it'll just create much more
Speaker 10: resentment than Middle East. And you know that fellow Frank
