WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:07.160 It's nice eye Dan Ray Boston's news radio, all. 2 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.880 Right, welcome back. Had an interesting hour last hour. Not 3 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.560 a lot of phone call reaction to it. But that's okay, 4 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:19.559 that's okay. Sometimes they get frustrated because I think of 5 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.440 my audience as being an audience that's going to be 6 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.800 interested in a first hand on the ground experience. I 7 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:32.600 want to thank my guest, Jason Greenberg, who's had a 8 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.479 remarkable year in which he lived. So what I'm gonna 9 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:40.840 do is I'm gonna give you an option to talk 10 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.359 a little bit about Israel and the implications of Israel 11 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.799 the Israeli conflict. I will tell you that I think 12 00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:58.000 that Israel is going to strike some of Iron's military installations. 13 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.399 I don't think they're going to hit their oil production facilities. 14 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:10.400 I don't think that they are going to hit urban areas, 15 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.879 although they would theoretically have every right to, since since 16 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.159 Iran fired some you know, one hundred and eighty rockets 17 00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.280 or by whatever count, and you cannot fire one hundred 18 00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.280 and eighty rockets at Israel without hitting an urban area 19 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.519 because it is such a small land mass, It's about 20 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.719 the size of the state of New Jersey. Uh, there's 21 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.439 also a word today and maybe some of you saw it, 22 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:45.439 maybe some of you didn't, that North Korea has sent 23 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.439 This was NBC Nightly News tonight. North Korea has sent 24 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:56.680 three thousand of its ground troops to Russia for training 25 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:03.840 in advance of them going to Ukraine. The Russian military 26 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:09.280 is running out of cannon fodder. So there's a lot 27 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.120 going on here, folks. And I know some of you 28 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.159 probably are thinking about Dancing with the Stars and Big 29 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.240 Brother and things like that, But if you're not and 30 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.719 you'd like to weigh in on any of those situations, 31 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.919 they are situations that are happening other parts of the 32 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:32.439 world that could have an impact on our lives. It 33 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.280 is possible that, depending upon if US troops. I think 34 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.000 it was Admiral Kirby today, I'm pretty sure was Kirby 35 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:48.680 that said, if North Korean ground troops actually take to 36 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:54.759 the battlefield of Ukraine, as in effect, Hessians for Russia, 37 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.840 their fair game for the United States. So you just 38 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:06.000 never know, You just never know. I'm surprised that North 39 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:11.240 Korea would send three thousand of its troops, but that's 40 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.759 what NBC Nightly News said tonight. So I'd love to 41 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.439 hear from you, if that bothers you, if you think 42 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.000 it's just part of the world in which we're living now, 43 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.800 this crazy world. Love to hear from you. And of 44 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.360 course this has been a couple of weeks before an election, 45 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:34.560 which is going to I think impact our national foreign 46 00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.800 policy for good or for bad. So you have the numbers. 47 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.479 That's all he can do is offer you six months 48 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.199 seven two, five, four ten thirty uh, six months seven 49 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:50.479 nine three. I think these are very interesting topics. If 50 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.199 you don't want to talk about them, I'll talk about 51 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.560 them for a while and then I will probably move 52 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.080 on and figure something else. I don't know. Let me 53 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.719 go to Warren. He was holding on last hour. Warren, 54 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.639 I couldn't get you in, and I apologize for that, 55 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.439 but you were on right now. Go ahead, Warren. What'd 56 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:12.000 you think? Yeah? 57 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:12.360 Thank you? 58 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.080 Jason had to say. 59 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:15.080 Yeah. 60 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.639 I've just wanted to ask Jason what since he was 61 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.439 on that side of the world, what that side of 62 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.560 the world things of America since Afghanistan, after the disaster 63 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.519 in Afghanistan? Do they d us as week? 64 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.600 And what I can't I don't you know, I can't 65 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.000 speak for the other side of the world. But think 66 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.639 about it. We just talked about North Korea has sent 67 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:46.519 three thousand troops to Russia, and that's NBC Nightly News tonight. 68 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:52.040 Let me if I've miscalled the nightly newscast because I 69 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.639 buzz around. Uh and I believe that Admiral Kirby said 70 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.560 today they would be fair game if if step on 71 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:01.600 the battlefield. 72 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.240 I mean, yeah, yeah, we. 73 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.160 Have an armistice with North Korea. We never signed to 74 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.839 peace street with North Korea. 75 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.160 And I'm just wondering, and I'm wondering what the effect 76 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:19.199 of this election, whoever wins, is going to have on 77 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.959 what each country does in that region. I mean, if 78 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.040 Trump gets in, you know, does he solve it? Or 79 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.279 you know, like if kamalad gets in, you know, how 80 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.720 fast will she be tested? 81 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.240 Oh? I think should be tested on or about January twenty. 82 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.319 First, yep, exactly. 83 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.079 I mean yeah. As a matter of fact, I'm looking 84 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:49.120 here that this is according to the New York Times, 85 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.639 good solid newspaper, The Associates Press US confirms North Korea 86 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.600 sent three thousand troops to Russia. North Korea has one 87 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.800 point two members of the military under arms, one of 88 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.879 the largest standing armies in the world, but it hasn't 89 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.399 fought in a large scale conflict since the nineteen fifty 90 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.560 to fifty three Korean War. Wow, this is the New 91 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.800 York This is the New York Times. Defense Secretary Lloyd 92 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:22.560 Austin has said that all of a sudden, I got 93 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.839 busted out of this. Has called the situation very very serious. 94 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.519 He said what the soldier was doing in Russia was 95 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.920 left to be seen. Oh, maybe Secretary of Austin there 96 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:40.439 on some sort of a North Korean travel groups. What 97 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.319 they think they're doing. In general, Austin. 98 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.759 We're always making excuses always. 99 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.439 Yeah, but he did say it's very very serious escalation 100 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.079 and what would have ramifications about the Europe and Asia 101 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.079 and maybe the United States. What exactly are they doing? 102 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.720 Left to be seen, Austin told reported in a military 103 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.839 base in Italy after a trip to Ukraine. He gave 104 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.360 no details about the number of troops already there, but 105 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.720 I guess the State Department said it's three thousand. That's 106 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:10.560 a lot of troops. 107 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.240 Yeah. My wife, you know, you know, onside the same 108 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.720 thing from the news report. Yeah, she texted me at work, 109 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.920 you know, you know that that happened. 110 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.720 So yeah, for two weeks, there have been reports of 111 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:33.720 the movement of troops showed ships moving from North Korea 112 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.759 to training areas in Vladivostok on Russia's east coast and 113 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.240 other Russian territory territory. For two weeks, there have been 114 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.519 reports of the movements, fueled by the Ukrainian and South 115 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.759 Korean governments, that more than twelve thousand North Koreans were 116 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.959 training to fight alongside the Russian soldiers. John Kirby, the 117 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.360 National Security spokes with the White House, said on Wednesday 118 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.519 that had been between early and mid October, the United 119 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.120 States attracted about three thousand North Korean troops who were 120 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.759 transported by ship from the North Korean port city of 121 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.560 Wonsan to Vladivostok. That must have been a lovely boat 122 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.959 to be on, and those have since been taken to 123 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:16.160 three separate trading sites in the Russian Far East. Uh 124 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.879 and and Ed McGreevey said, this is certainly highly concerning possibility. 125 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.079 I think that's a pretty fair statement. 126 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.680 Yeah, I mean, they only they only tell the obvious, 127 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.759 you know, I mean, what's what's totally obvious to the world, 128 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.919 you know, But yeah, that's he that's you know, that's 129 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.879 the newspaper for you, that's the Times for you. 130 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.879 You know. I mean they reported pretty factually. It's it's 131 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.279 it's not as they would say, fake news. 132 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:50.440 No, and it's not big, it's not fake news. But 133 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.120 you know, it's just like the verbiage is is kind 134 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.679 of kind of laughable, like when they are stating the obvious, 135 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.840 you know, and you know they're like, oh, you know, 136 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.120 you know, there are movements and we don't know exactly 137 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.639 what's going on here, sort of like when Russia was 138 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:14.799 encircling you know, Ukraine for for like a month, month 139 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.720 and a half, two months, and then I go, what's 140 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.360 going on here? We knew exactly what was going on? Yeah, 141 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.559 so yeah, so well yeah. 142 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.960 We will we will see here. 143 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:33.919 Zelenski is saying, uh that that basically North Korea's presence 144 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.440 is an attempt by Putin to avoid an unpopular mobilization. 145 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.600 So Zelensky sees this as good news. I'm not sure 146 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.159 it's good news. No one is always the best man. 147 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.480 Thank you much, Okay, thank you, thank you. 148 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.320 I have a great night.

Hmmm, what do we 154 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:17.480 talk about the evil acxis of access of Russia, China, 155 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:22.600 Iran and North Korea. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. 156 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.559 Maybe you are if you are left to hear from here. 157 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.879 If not, we can switch topics six one, seven, two, four, 158 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.639 ten thirty six months, seven nine, three, one, ten thirty. 159 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.840 I don't mean to be making light of it, but 160 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.919 you know, maybe that dancing with the stars is really 161 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.200 something we should focus on. We'll be back at nights 162 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:40.840 that after this. 163 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.600 Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World 164 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.840 night Side Studios News Radio. 165 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.159 All right, let's let's keep it rolling here as we 166 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.799 talk about I think a bit of a disquieting development. 167 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.600 Maybe maybe that's what I should call it, a disquiety development. 168 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.679 Mary Beth and Hanover. Mary Beth Hanover is a flong 169 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.320 way from the Ukraine. And you're not worried about this, 170 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.080 are you? Well? 171 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.600 I'll tell you. You know, I have two kids that 172 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:17.759 are serving and my yep, my daughter is currently on 173 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.360 her way somewhere that I'm not going to say, but 174 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:21.799 it's not a great spot. 175 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.200 Yep, she's not heading to a. 176 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.720 Right, Yes, yep. When my son was in like Iraq 177 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.559 and Afghanistan, it's say, oh, he's like in the nice 178 00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.519 warm weather, and. 179 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.120 Oh yeah, yeah. 180 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:36.799 I try to keep my hat up. 181 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.360 And not listen to the news as much your station, 182 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.279 of course, but not like I don't listen to it 183 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.399 during the day. But it worries me. I think people 184 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.840 should definitely be paying attention because it might be my 185 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:53.240 military kids, now, that might be your families down the road. 186 00:11:53.840 --> 00:12:00.320 Absolutely absolutely, And here we have a I I think 187 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.240 the situation could spin out of control real easily. I mean, 188 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.080 I could just see all the you know, we we 189 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.039 have some sort of an air ear strike on you know, 190 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.440 five hundred North Korean soldiers. 191 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.480 Well, the whole world is going up. 192 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.960 That is what that's that's my that's my concern. I mean, 193 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.600 I mean, we've been very lucky that this Ukrainian thing 194 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:38.120 hasn't spread further than it has. I mean, I could 195 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.840 just see Putin doing something crazy. I mean, and desperate 196 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.240 people do desperate things. 197 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.480 Ye absolutely. And then you know, now with Kim Jong un, 198 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.440 I'm like, oh my. 199 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.799 God, let's let's invite him, Let's get him come to 200 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:52.600 the party. 201 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.080 Rights that basketball play. We should send him over there. 202 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.120 Yes, yes, I think Dennis would be a wonderful diplomat. 203 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.200 For he needs to go over there and calm this 204 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:06.200 situation down. 205 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.440 I think he went over when President Obama was in 206 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:10.039 the White House. 207 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:11.080 He did. 208 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.840 Yeah, it was like, this was not he never You 209 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.200 always say, oh, I think I've seen it all, but 210 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.240 you've never seen it all. 211 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.879 Well, I mean, it was not on my radar screen 212 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.759 that three thousand North Korean troops would end up spending 213 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.840 part of this winter. Maybe it's better in Vladivostok than 214 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.600 it is in beyong Bang, but I. 215 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:34.919 Would say anything's better than that. 216 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.240 Yeah, but I'm telling you this is a This is 217 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.919 a nasty development here, and it comes at a time 218 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.600 when we're picking the next president. 219 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.159 With on Lurivo, we're just still about Lermbo right now. 220 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:53.639 We're very vulnerable. There's also some activity. China has been 221 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.799 been stepping up their activity around Taiwan in the last. 222 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.159 Couple Yeah, yep, that worries me a lot. 223 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.039 We're not ready for that. I mean, China, China could 224 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.480 take Taiwan tomorrow. 225 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.639 If they wanted to, absolutely. 226 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:09.519 We wouldn't be able to do a thing. And that 227 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.600 has tremendous impact, amongst other things, obviously the balance of 228 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:15.080 power in Asia. 229 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.840 But yeah, they produce. 230 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.159 All the semiconductors. At this point, we've shipped them all 231 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.360 over to Taiwan. 232 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.759 Wow.

How long? 238 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:40.960 How long is the deployment do you have an idea? 239 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:47.200 Nine months to a year? It used to be the 240 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:50.360 army when my son first joined in two thousand and seven, 241 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.120 they would get deployed for a year. And then Bush 242 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.559 was in at that point and obviously and well my 243 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.039 son was there.

They call it the I 298 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.160 don't know if Britain was there. They call it the 299 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.960 they have a name, probably a Brick Conference or something 300 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.000 like that. But these countries that got together today and 301 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.920 we weren't one of them. They are controlling twenty four 302 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.960 of the global economy and if and if we don't 303 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.400 wake up, we're going to be left behind and left 304 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.000 out and not thirst anymore. 305 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:18.119 Well, I think we're probably there now. You know this 306 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:24.039 is let me what we hear is what it's called 307 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:31.599 the Brick Summit, okay, uh, and it's expanding. Brick. Brick 308 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:34.960 stands for where are we here? Let me get this? Uh. 309 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:39.519 The countries that combine bricks stand for Brazil, Russia, India, China, 310 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:44.680 and South Africa. They're an informal group of emerging economies 311 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.880 hoping to increase this way in the global order. It 312 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.880 was established in two thousand and nine, founded in the 313 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.759 premise that international institutions were overly dominated by Western powers 314 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:58.519 and it seek cease to serve developing company countries. The 315 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.119 block is sought to coordinate its members economic and diplomatic policies, 316 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:08.319 find new financial institutions, fund found fund new financial institutions, 317 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.359 and reduce dependencies on the US dollar. You hit it 318 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.279 on the head Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. 319 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:21.759 These are in competition with US, and they don't want 320 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:22.519 to be number two. 321 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:30.519 Yeah, and they're their their meeting right now. I guess 322 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.039 bricks has struggled with internal divisions on a range of issues, 323 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.759 including relations with the US and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Okay, 324 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.279 that's good. Uh, it's a loose block of non Western 325 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:48.160 economies that coordinate economic and diplomatic efforts around the shared globe. 326 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.759 Well, they could be what they're going to be one 327 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.359 of them too. They're gonna make it a real brick. 328 00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:03.200 Yeah, So brick could challenge the dominant G seven wealthy economies, 329 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:09.720 and the G seven obviously of France and the United States, Britain, Germany, 330 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:17.839 pretty much the Western European countries. But they did extend 331 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:23.279 invitations to Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAR. 332 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.640 This is all diplomatic stuff. They're trying to undercut what 333 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.839 we're doing over there. And as crazy as Donald Trump is, 334 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.519 he actually made some progress in the Middle East with 335 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.519 the Abraham Accords, which were not worked on or are 336 00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:44.480 improved are extended by the Biden Harris administration. 337 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.160 And I never and I don't think he took any 338 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.599 Bride money at all, mister Trump. I don't think he 339 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:53.680 needed the money. And that's one thing I always liked 340 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.440 about him. He was never about the money. He doesn't 341 00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.680 even draw a salary. 342 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.720 Yeah, he'll try to, so, you know, Trump watches and 343 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:04.759 Trump sneakers, which I don't understand either. I have no 344 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:06.200 idea what that's all about. 345 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.839 In my hotel room. But you know, I'll protect you. 346 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.240 I'll protect you at night and you can go to sleep. 347 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.119 Yeah. Well that's there's something to be said for that. 348 00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:16.480 Ron. 349 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.720 All right, man, I'll talk soon. Thanks, thanks so much. 350 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:24.079 And you open my eyes up to bricks and I'll 351 00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:25.640 be keeping an eye on it, thank you much. 352 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.039 Throwing the matters if we're not careful. 353 00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:31.319 Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. We'll 354 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:31.720 talk soon. 355 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:35.039 To be scary, I don't know they're gonna they're gonna 356 00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:40.079 be screaming in the street. No like that last one. 357 00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.279 Oh yeah, Oh that's I'm hoping. As I've said repeatedly, 358 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.440 I'm hoping for a decisive win for which whichever candidate wins, 359 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.839 I think the worst scenario, you know, some people think 360 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:55.440 Trump is the worst scenario. Some people think Harris is 361 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:57.440 the worst scenario. I think the worst scenario is a 362 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:02.920 close race that ends up where half the country whoever wins, we. 363 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.799 Won't say she lost, no, but that's okay. 364 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:11.720 Yeah, well, you know she's she's our girl, her own 365 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.960 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Alex Wagner, who's a reporter at MSNBC, 384 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.000 was interviewing women in Philadelphia, which is should be a 385 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:28.440 stronghold for Kamala Harris and cut number twenty. She's asking, well, 386 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.319 some women why they're voting for Trump over Harris, cut twenty. 387 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.720 What are your feelings? 388 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.480 And let me start with the women here about Kamala Harris, she's. 389 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:39.599 A woman of color. 390 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:41.319 I'm not putting her down because of that.
