1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: It's nights time with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: kniche for you.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: You get double Dan tonight, Dan Watkins on the news,

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: Dan Ray on Talk, and you got a little Rob

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: mixed in answering the phone. So be nice to Rob.

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: Don't say anything bad to him. I'll really get mad

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: at you. We are talking about the President's speech today

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: in Davos, which, to the delight of many people, be included,

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: he backed off the suggestion that he would actually involve

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: the US military in an effort to secure or acquire Greenland.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: This was the announcement that he made. This is the

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: It was an hour long or more speech, but this

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: is the forty eight second announcement that was the most

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: important part of the speech. In my opinion, cut number

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: fifty two. Rob one more time.

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: We never asked for anything, and we never got anything.

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: excessive strength and force where we would be frankly unstoppable.

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: But I won't do that.

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: Okay, now everyone's saying, oh good, that's probably the biggest

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: statement I made. Because people thought I would use force.

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: I don't have to use force. I don't want to

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: use force. I won't use force. All the United States

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: is asking for is a place called Greenland, where we

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: already had it as a trustee, but respectfully returned it

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated the Germans,

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: the Japanese, the Italians and others.

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: In World War Two.

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: We gave it back to them.

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: So that's his pledge. No US military were reacting to

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: that or to anything else about the situation. Ben in Jamaica.

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: Plane is next. Ben. Welcome to night side. How are you, sir? Okay,

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: let's put Ben on hold if he is drifted away

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: from the phone in the meantime, going to go to

35
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: Ray and Newton. Ray, open you up in the lineup here,

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: Rega right ahead. How are you sir?

37
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Hey doing well?

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: Thanks?

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Dan? Just uh.

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: I want to go back to the original point that

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 5: you had about, you know, the the forum today.

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: Personally, I'm not a Trump fan.

43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 5: I think he acts and behaves and talks like a

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 5: deranged toddler. But there's nothing he got accomplished in these

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 5: last couple of weeks that he couldn't have done with

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: just picking up.

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: The phone to some of these leaders and.

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 5: Requesting a greater NATO or US presence, you know, in Greenland.

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: To me, I think he just.

50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 5: Is petulant, and you know he he he acts and

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 5: behaves in a way that you know, he could have

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 5: got what he wanted weeks or months ago without all

53
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 5: the all the drama that he brings with it.

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: Well, you might be right. I guess we will never

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: know since he didn't exercise diplomacy weeks ago. We I

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: don't know if you were listening last night when we

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 2: had the former US ambassador to Denmark, Allen Lebenthal, on

58
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: during the ten o'clock hour last night, and we had

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: him back tonight during the nine o'clock hour, and last

60
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: night he was quite apprehensive about what Trump might have

61
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: done if he followed through on his suggestions that the

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: US military might get involved in Greenland. The implications being

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: that it could fracture and maybe even destroy the NATO alliance,

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: which had been you know, steadfast for what seventy years

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: now since the end of World War Two. It might

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: embolden have emboldened Russia and China, China to take a

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: look at Taiwan a little bit more closely, and for

68
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Russia to become even more aggressive in Ukraine. So there was.

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: We had a serious conversation last night, and I hope

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: people might listen to what Ambassador Leventhal was saying last

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: night and then listen. We brought him back tonight at

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: nine because he seemed genuinely relieved. He probably would agree

73
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: with you that diplomacy should have been the card that

74
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: the President was playing first and foremost, but he didn't.

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: The question now is how effective is the framework going

76
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: to be? Whatever this agreement. They have a framework for

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: an agreement. We haven't seen whatever the agreement is. UH,

78
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: and the the head of NATO, the the politician from

79
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: the from the Netherlands, mister Rita UH seems to be

80
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: pretty satisfied as well. So you know, let's let's see

81
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: how it plays out. But it takes nothing away from

82
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: your point that I do.

83
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 5: I will say that, you know, I think could be

84
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: ambassador there was right. I think Donald Trump was definitely

85
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 5: serious about invading Greenland. I think, you know, I'll go

86
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 5: back to my Toddler analogy. He pushed it too far

87
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: and he got spanked. He wasn't expecting the spanking he

88
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: got from Mark Connie and the rest of the NATO alliance,

89
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: and even even back home, and I think he had

90
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 5: to put the brakes on them. And what he got

91
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: today was an off ramp. There is I don't think

92
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 5: there's a framework. I think he got an off rump

93
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 5: from the NATO leader Mark.

94
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah in the Netherlands.

95
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 5: I think all he gave him was an off ramp

96
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 5: to say, look, we'll give you an out and.

97
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: We can work this out. You know in a way

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: that I might.

99
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: Be right, but but let's I think that six months

100
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: a year form now. I got to be honest with you.

101
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: If if we're developing technology which could prevent China or

102
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: Russia from hitting us with a nuke, that's that's a

103
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: good use of our tax money, in my opinion. I

104
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: hope you will.

105
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: I agree with you. I agree with you fully. But

106
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 4: this was never an issue. This is an man made issue.

107
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 5: And you know, we used to have several bases on

108
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 5: Greenland going back, you know, over the years.

109
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 4: Now we have one that's.

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: That's more understanding, which troubles me. And I don't know why,

111
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: and I wish I was enough of an expert militarily

112
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: or politically to understand why. But if a year from now,

113
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: my understanding, he's the only base we have up there

114
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: is now it's called a Space Force base. Uh, it's

115
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: not even it's not an air force base. It's it's

116
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: part of the Space Force. Bottom line is someone has.

117
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 5: To look at it at the government.

118
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: Right. The only thing I would say would be this,

119
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: I know a lot more about Greenland tonight than I

120
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: did a week ago. Maybe you were already up to

121
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: date on Greenland, but I'm glad that the issue has

122
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: been brought to the four uh. And I hope that

123
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: as a consequent so whatever framework was agreed upon and

124
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: caused President Trump to withdraw the possibility of military invasion,

125
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: I hope that at the end of the day we're

126
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: all a little safer, not only me and you now,

127
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: but our children and our grandchildren ten twenty thirty years

128
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: from now. That's when I think it means to be judged.

129
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 5: I agree with you, but answer me one question.

130
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 6: Then.

131
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 5: You know, Greenland is a strategic defense point for northern defense.

132
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: But why why is this administration not supporting Ukraine as

133
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 5: much as they could? Because if you really.

134
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: Want, do you wish okay, you know a little bit

135
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: of position them in Ukraine?

136
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: Right, let me ask you a question. Would Zolensky wants

137
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: Tomahawk missiles so he can hit closer or maybe even

138
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: hit Moscow. Do you want Zelinsky to have tom Hawk missiles?

139
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: I think I think missiles in Ukraine would be a

140
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: much closer defense point in Greenland. Won't you agree?

141
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: Uh? No, I would. I would say to you that

142
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 2: if we give Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, uh and Ukraine

143
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: were to launch some of those Tomahawks and hit Moscow,

144
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: I think we could be in the press precipice of

145
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: World War three in my opinion.

146
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: But what if they want under Ukraine control? What if

147
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 4: they're under US control? I'm just think from a strategic point, if.

148
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 2: They are under us, they are under the US point,

149
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: they are under US control because we have them. They

150
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: are not. Look if if you want to tell me

151
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: that you think it would be a great idea for

152
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Zelensky to have tomahawks, because that's what Zelensky wants and

153
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: I want. I'm very much I'm anti Russia. I'm pro Ukraine. Okay.

154
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 2: I have friends of mine who have gone to Ukraine,

155
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: people who I admire and respect. Okay, I can't tell

156
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: you how much I'm rooting for Ukraine. At the same time,

157
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: Russia has more nuclear warheads than we do. Now, if

158
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 2: we give Zolensky tomahawks and he hits Moscow.

159
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, I'm not talking about giving

160
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 5: Zelensky tomahawks. I'm talking about, you know, if we have

161
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: installations in Greenland one, moving installations closer to Russia of

162
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 5: the objective even more, I don't think so.

163
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, to increase the security in

164
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: Greenland is going to take years. That we're not going

165
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: to do that tomorrow. Zelensky would like to have tomahawks

166
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: so he could hit Moscow. That's the problem as I

167
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: understand it. Do you do you understand that differently? If

168
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm if I'm incorrect, please please.

169
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 5: Help me, because I think giving Zolensky tomahawks versus having

170
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 5: US military installations for strategic defense are two different subjects.

171
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: They are two different subjects, and you're trying to compare them.

172
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: But what I'm trying to say to you Ray simply

173
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: is that, uh, you you can. You can work to

174
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: to create a you know, a so called golden dome

175
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: is what they're calling it, Okay, similar to what Israel

176
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: has and used effectively when it was under attack last spring. Uh,

177
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: and you also can support Zelinsky. But I what Zolinsky

178
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: wants is tomahawk missiles. And you do you understand that

179
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: tomahawk missiles have the ability to reach Moscow? Or no? Yes? Okay,

180
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: would you if Zelinsky asked you as president for tomahawk missiles?

181
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: Would your position be any different than Trump's and tomahawk missiles.

182
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: If it moved us closer to war? Obviously I wouldn't

183
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: be against that.

184
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: But okay, fair enough, Okay, we agreed, fair enough, we read.

185
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 4: But again, we're talking about strategic defense, not offense here.

186
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: Right right, Well, we're talking about defense in Greenland. And uh,

187
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: I think anything that we can do for Zelinsky, we

188
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: have supported Zelinsky. And remember this Putin while Trump has

189
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: been was in the White House from seventeen twenty seventeen

190
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty one. What territories did did Zelenski invade? Did?

191
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: Excuse me?

192
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: What?

193
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: I apologize? No? No, what what territories did putin invade?

194
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 4: CRIMEA?

195
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: Nope? That was that was in twenty fourteen when Obama

196
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: was president.

197
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: But that was Sorry, I miss of the questions.

198
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: My question is what territories did putin the head of Russia?

199
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: Invade while Trump was president.

200
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 5: I think you're trying to get to the invasion happened

201
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 5: before Trump was president.

202
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: Crimea occurred in twenty fourteen, after the soci Olympics, when

203
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: President Obama was in the White House.

204
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you trying to refer to Biden's tenure here?

205
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm referring to Putin invaded Crimea in twenty fourteen.

206
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: Come on, ray, you know what I'm talking about. And

207
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: he built up on the borders of Ukraine while Biden

208
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: was president. And what did Biden do? He said, I

209
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: have one word for Prutin. Don't that stopped the invasion

210
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: of Ukraine? Didn't it? What?

211
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: But we're not debating that.

212
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 5: But I think we're saying the same thing. I think Russia,

213
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 5: you know, Russia is you know, the critical point here,

214
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 5: like you know, get.

215
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 2: What territory, what territory?

216
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 4: It was not a threat and Russia wasn't, let's say,

217
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: a nuisance. Would we need a golden dome?

218
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: I want if we can create a golden dome. I'm

219
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: worried about any country that might have nuclear weapons. I'm

220
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: worried about China, I'm worried about Russia. I don't know

221
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 2: if we had the capacity to to build a dome

222
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: which would protect us, of course I would do that. Right,

223
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: I got a run. We've gone, We've gone ten minutes. Right,

224
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: it's not fair to my to my other cause. I

225
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: appreciate your call. Please please give me a call again.

226
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,160

228
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: on Nightside right after this.

229
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Ray Boston's news Radio.

230
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: Let's keep the conversations going. Going to Nancy in Rosslindale. Hey, Nancy,

231
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: thank you for calling in your next on Nightside, your

232
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: thoughts on Greenland, go right ahead, Nancy Dan.

233
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 7: I love your show. I love your show. I agree

234
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 7: that good news that Donald Trump changed his mind on

235
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 7: invading Greenland. I wonder what you thought of the rest

236
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 7: of his speech today.

237
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: In rambling and undisciplined. He obviously had a text which

238
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 2: he referred to. He had a teleprompter, but then he

239
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: would go off and he riffed. It was like going

240
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: to a Grateful Dead concert in the nineteen seventies.

241
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 7: I you know, I found it embarrassing. I think that

242
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 7: that the world is just I think he's unhinged, and

243
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 7: I think it really showed today that do you do

244
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 7: you agree.

245
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: With me on that?

246
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: I think unhinged is is a much too strong word.

247
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: I think that he has a method to what you

248
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: might call his madness. Uh. But I don't think he

249
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: is unhinged. I think that uh, he he wanted to

250
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: get Meduro. I'm glad he got Maduro, and he did

251
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: it the right way. There were we had no loss

252
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: of life. They went in and the secured it, and

253
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: I guess they used some uh some supersonic audio weaponry

254
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: which disabled whatever anti aircraft defense uh Venezuela had. I

255
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: don't think he's unhinged. I think I think I think

256
00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: that he is unpredictable. I think that he is a

257
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: different sort of president than we've had. We haven't had

258
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: a president like him in our lifetime. He's cut from

259
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: a totally different mold. If if somehow, some way he

260
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: can turn Is the economy better today than it was

261
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: a year ago? Yes, our gas price is down. Yes,

262
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: there are certain policies that that I agree with them.

263
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: There's some policies that I have problems with. But guess what,

264
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: He's the only president we have at this point.

265
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 6: That's true.

266
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't know.

267
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 3: I don't know.

268
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: Well, well, sure, is he different? Yeah? Is he unpredictable? Yeah?

269
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: Is he unhinged? Find a president who has spent more

270
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: time being accessible and available to the news media in

271
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: your lifetime than Donald Trump.

272
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 7: Oh, No, he's always he loves that, he's always available.

273
00:15:59,600 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 9: Yeah.

274
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 7: I just think that he's getting I think he's getting.

275
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 6: More and more.

276
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 7: I just I don't think he really is in the

277
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 7: real world at this point.

278
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 6: He's just off the wall.

279
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 10: I think.

280
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: Well, I listened to the speech this morning. I thought

281
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: it was rambling. I thought it was undisciplined. It's not

282
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: the type of speech that an American president would normally

283
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: make in a set of circumstances like that. But that's

284
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: not his style, and that's who we as a country elected. Now.

285
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: I know there was a lot of stuff about Joe

286
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: Biden I didn't like, but I never thought he was unhinged.

287
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: I I thought that he had lost a lot off

288
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: his fastball, because I remember Joe Biden as a senator.

289
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 7: But you know, you don't think that Donald Trump has

290
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 7: lost the law of his fastball.

291
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that that that I could stand

292
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: up and do what he did today. He recounted history

293
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: of World War Two. He appealed to the better angels

294
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: of European diplomats. I'm not saying that they sat there

295
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: and said he's the greatest things that slice spread. He

296
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: doesn't have the sense of humor that Jack Kennedy has.

297
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the charm that that Ronald Reagan has.

298
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: There's nothing charming about him.

299
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: But how do you feel about him? Of what he

300
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 7: said about NATO never being there for us?

301
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: Well, in fact, historically he is correct that NATO.

302
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 10: Did cat nine to eleven.

303
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 7: Nine to eleven, Denmark lost a lot of people, and

304
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 7: they had they Uncle five was enforced after nine to eleven,

305
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 7: and and Denmark lost a lot of people. They were

306
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 7: fighting for us.

307
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: I can look up how many. First of all, I

308
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: would I would appreciate anyone from Denmark who put on

309
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: the uniform and and went in battle for US during

310
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: the break that's upcoming. I'll find out how many Danish

311
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: soldiers died compared to how many US soldiers we saved.

312
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 10: You.

313
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 7: He said NATO never did anything for us, and they

314
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 7: stepped in a nine to eleven, So he's wrong on

315
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 7: that fact.

316
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll give you that. I'll give you that that

317
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: that's hyperbole, that's overstatement, whatever you want to call it,

318
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: or or blatantly blatantly incorrect. I'll get that number for

319
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: you during the break. Stay with us, you know, keep listening.

320
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: Thanks n thank you, good night, Thank you for calling,

321
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: Thanks for your points, Thank you, good night. Let me

322
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: go next to Dave in Colorado. Dave, you were next

323
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: on Nightside.

324
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 6: Hey, Dan, you know it's your collar. A few callers back,

325
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 6: you had a caller who was complaining about all the

326
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 6: things Trump said. You know, if your grievance is somebody

327
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 6: said something that's such a weak grievance, there are enough

328
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 6: bad things that assorts Harry and things that Trump had done, uh,

329
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 6: that this should be the focus. The reason why one

330
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 6: of the reasons why Trump won is because of these

331
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 6: liberals were so overfocused on speech instead of stopping bad action.

332
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: Does that make sense, Yeah, I think I think Trump

333
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 2: was a better choice for the majority of American people

334
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 2: than Harris and Tim Walsh. I think that in retrospect

335
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: we see that Harris was asking Governor Shapiro his They

336
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: were asking him if he was ever had been an

337
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 2: asient for Israel for the Israeli government, which was an

338
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: insulting question to Shapiro. They were they were asking Walsh

339
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: Walls whether or not he was an Asian for the

340
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: Chinese government. I guess his answers were adequate. I mean,

341
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan in my opinion. Okay,

342
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's the best I can say.

343
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I want again, Reagan never would have tried to

344
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 6: intervene against people's speech, except maybe in jest. And that's

345
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: what the Biden administration did, was they tried to censor

346
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 6: almost everybody, it seemed like. So that's what cost the

347
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 6: Democrats the election. They couldn't even beat this horrific Trump guy.

348
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they if they had had a better candidate,

349
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: they might have won, or a better ticket, they might

350
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: have won the election. They didn't have it. By the way,

351
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: Denmark suffered forty four military casualties fatalities in Afghanistan, which

352
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: is the highest per capita death toll among coalition forces.

353
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: I assume highest per capita of population or highest per

354
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: capita of troops committed. I'll have to do more on

355
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: that to figure out what they base that on.

356
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 6: Okay, anyway, for what it's worth, I have done something

357
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: about the Denmark situation. I made a sign, went to

358
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 6: my nearest big intersection sign says hands off Greenland, and

359
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 6: I put it up at the intersection. It was what

360
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 6: I could do well.

361
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: I would like to see us enter into an agreement

362
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: with Greenland so we can get some sort of a dome,

363
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 2: you know, a protection of our country against potential attack

364
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 2: by either China or Russia, similar to what the Israeli

365
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 2: government employed during the attacks of last spring.

366
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 6: The people of Denmark have not consented to this. They

367
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 6: are against this. That's what counts well.

368
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 2: As of today they have. But today the Secretary General

369
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: of NATO announced that a framework agreement had been created.

370
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: Let's see what happens. I'm not suggesting we overrun them,

371
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: but I think it's in our interest. It's in Europe.

372
00:21:53,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: Do you have kids, Dave there?

373
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 6: Oh I'm still here? You were still you dropped off?

374
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 6: I'm sorry?

375
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: No, do you have kids?

376
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 6: No?

377
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. Okay, do you think you're going to

378
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 2: have kids at some point?

379
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 6: And and don't justify means no matter what great thing

380
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 6: you're planning for my kids?

381
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: Well, I would like to make sure that your children,

382
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: my children, our grandchildren, and our uh decedents, not our decedents.

383
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: Excuse me. Those who come after us are protected if

384
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: there's a way to protect them, that's all. If you

385
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: disagree with that and you would rather them deal with

386
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: the incoming of you know, Soviet or Chinese nuclear weapons unprotected,

387
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: I guess we're going to have a disagreement and we're

388
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: not going to be able to reach it. A chord.

389
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 6: Strengthening the US military does not make a safer costa.

390
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 6: Rica is safer than us in many ways, and they

391
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 6: have no military and no allies.

392
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 2: Well, I think maybe that you should get a presidential

393
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: candidate who would advocate eliminating all four branches of the

394
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: US military. I think that that's a position that that

395
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: your candidate could could consider and adopt.

396
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 6: Two words, Ron Paul.

397
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: Well, I think he ran for president two or three times,

398
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: and he has a son and the Senate. I would

399
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: send a contribution to the Sun. I think mister Paul

400
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: has passed on, so he's no longer a candidate for president,

401
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 2: but he was for three separate cases and the American

402
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: people rejected him. Dave, So good luck, Thanks PAB, talk

403
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: to you soon. By, we'll take a break. Here's the

404
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: news at the bottom of the hour.

405
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.

406
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 2: By the way, when people raise issues, I try to

407
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 2: give you as much accurate information as I can. You

408
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: can You can google this yourself. Number of foreign soldiers

409
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: killed in Afghanistan, based upon the deaths per million, the

410
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: US had the highest, along with Britain in Denmark. Denmark

411
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: has a small population of five point five million people,

412
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: and there were forty three Danish soldiers who died in

413
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: Afghanistan the war in Afghanistan and Helmet Province. So President

414
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: Trump was dead wrong when he said that NATO has

415
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: never done anything for the US. There were a variety

416
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: of companies that countries that provided help to the to

417
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: the NATO effort. Some of the non NATO countries. Amongst

418
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: the non NATO countries Georgia, Australia, Sweden, New Zealand, Finland, Jordan,

419
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: South Korea, and Albania. However, there were a lot of

420
00:24:47,320 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: NATO countries Croatia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Belgium, Albania, Portugal, Slovakia, Latvia, Hungary, Stone, Norway.

421
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 2: New Zealand is not a nail. So yeah, I mean,

422
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: there were a lot of country, including Denmark. So the

423
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 2: president's wrong on that. But I think the point he

424
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: was trying to make was that that if the United

425
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 2: States had not gotten involved in World War two, and

426
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: there was a real effort in this country at isolationist

427
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: movement in this country in the nineteen thirties, things could

428
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: have gone very badly in the war against Hitler and Mussolini. Okay,

429
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: let's keep rolling here. I'm going to move people a

430
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: little bit more quickly. Dennis is going to help me out.

431
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: Dennis is in Lowell. Hey, Dennis, welcome back. How are you, buddy.

432
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 10: Well, good evening, Dan, boy, you're getting quite a workout tonight.

433
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: Yesterday, I feel like I'm playing goal again. They're like

434
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: shots to the left of me, shots the right of me.

435
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 2: And yeah, but that's okay, that's what was gonna that's

436
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: my job. Go ahead.

437
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I was gonna say, you're putting in a

438
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 10: lot of innings on this issue on the Screenland.

439
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's yeah, Well we did, because I got to

440
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: tell you the last night, we had two great hours.

441
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if you were listening last.

442
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 10: Night, but it was Oh, I did.

443
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, great conversation people on both ends of sides of

444
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: the argument, and tonight brought Ambassador Leventhal back. Alan Leventhal

445
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 2: joined us at nine o'clock and he seemed to be

446
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: somewhat relieved based upon what the Trump, what President Trump

447
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: said today at Davos, and the conversation has gone on

448
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 2: from there.

449
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 10: Yeah. No, like I said, that's the next thing is

450
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 10: going to say. Well, on the same page. I really

451
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 10: appreciate you having the Ambassador Alan Levinhal on to listen

452
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 10: to his opinion, and like him, I was very apprehensive

453
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 10: yesterday and now on today, I'm a little more relieved.

454
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 10: But you know, I'm still looking out for the future.

455
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And I'm hoping that Donald Trump is genuinely

456
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: looking out for the future for future generations so that

457
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: so that they live in a safe world. You and

458
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: I come from that time of in our lives when

459
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: we were taught by school teachers in elementary school to

460
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: duck and cover under our desks at school as if that,

461
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: yeah help us.

462
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 10: You know, hey, hey, we're still alive, so it must

463
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 10: barely but we are. Yeah, And I was going to

464
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 10: and I agree with you in that statistic. I looked

465
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 10: it up myself. Denmark had the highest percentage of casualties

466
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 10: per population.

467
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

468
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 10: And then and as Ambassador eleventh All said, we did

469
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 10: have an agreement in nineteen fifty one agreement with Denmark,

470
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 10: you know about Greenland.

471
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, we basically, I guess held held Greenland under

472
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: our authority. President described it today as a trustee relationship

473
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: during World War two, because you know, Germany did have

474
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: designs on Greenland at that time. They had designs on

475
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 2: the US coast. They had submarines, and they had landing

476
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: parties that came up on Long Island as you know.

477
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 10: Yep. Oh yeah, my father was a sailor in World

478
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 10: War Two. Yeah, he told me all about it. Yeah yeah.

479
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 2: And so look we were Look, we saved Europe, our

480
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: greatest generations. Tom Brokaw called them, saved Europe.

481
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 10: Yeah.

482
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: Okay, Now there'll be people who tell you, well, it

483
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: was really the Russians who defeated the Germans. The Russian

484
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: ally of the Germans when they both in David Poland

485
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: on September first, nineteen thirty nine, and they had to

486
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: fall it out anyway.

487
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 10: No, he was well. And the last thing I want

488
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 10: to say is that just listening to the news. I

489
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 10: hope you get my very close friend Diana Dosauglio, the

490
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 10: state auditor, on again.

491
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm making a call to her tomorrow. Making a call

492
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: to her tomorrow, Okay. And if she's listening tonight, she

493
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: she should expect to call. She had not being on

494
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: with us for two or three months, and I know

495
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: she's fighting this this amazing battle. Yepps, she is. She

496
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: is misaccountability, no question, Dennis. Thanks buddy, Happy New Year

497
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: to you. First time I think we talked this year.

498
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 10: Happy Sorry, thanks buddy.

499
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: Soon, let's keep rolling here. We're going to next two.

500
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: Up Tina in wonsokon Rhode Island. Hey Tina, welcome back.

501
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: How are you?

502
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: Oh?

503
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 8: I'm fine?

504
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 7: Dan Gee?

505
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 11: What what? What a topic? I did not hear the

506
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 11: program yesterday.

507
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: And well you know you can if you want, go

508
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: to Night's or anyone can and listen to what Ambassador Leventhal,

509
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 2: our former United States ambassador to Denmark, is a Bostonian

510
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: or New Englander, and and he was quite I think

511
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: concerned that what Donald Trump might do. And tonight I

512
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: had him back at nine o'clock. He's somewhat relieved, and

513
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: he does understand that there's an opportunity to have our

514
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: defenses against a potential Russian or Chinese attack over the

515
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: Arctic Circle can be buttressed by by some some structures

516
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: that we can that were great, you know, anti ballistic

517
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: missile systems which can provide a bit of a dome

518
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: UH to future generations.

519
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 11: Well, myself, I've been following it like for the past

520
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 11: couple of weeks, you know, going to meeting, the newspapers

521
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 11: and things like that. I am not I am not

522
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 11: afraid of what.

523
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 10: Uh.

524
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 11: In other words, how can I put this? I think

525
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 11: there's a lot of height about what Russia or China

526
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 11: would do, and I don't think the urban Peans and

527
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 11: the crone in the Netherlands and Denmark and other countries

528
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 11: are our aide of what Russia or China may may

529
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 11: may do. And today I was reading an article on

530
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 11: the Wall Street Judah Journal and he were saying it

531
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 11: was saying that Vladimir Putin is really smiling about this

532
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 11: whole situation, because what I was reading and following is

533
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 11: that Putin was just waiting for the United States to

534
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 11: go in and attack Greenland or send forces there, and

535
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 11: that would be one one NATO nation against another NATO nation,

536
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 11: and then the whole NATO alliance would fall apart. And

537
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 11: Putlin would love to see that because that would give

538
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 11: him some some some greetence to say, oh, well, now

539
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 11: you can't you train cannot join NATO. So I disagree

540
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 11: with the Europeans and I'm not afraid of that future.

541
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 11: But I know you pointed that out clearly. It's just

542
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 11: that I think there's just so much and maybe the

543
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 11: Chinese and Russians, whatever they're going to do, I can't predict,

544
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 11: but they're just watching Trump closely to see what's gonna

545
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 11: happen next. So that's the only thing I can think of.

546
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, all, I would add I agree with kind of

547
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: everything you said, and there would have been, I think,

548
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: a real fracture in the NATO relationship if Trump had

549
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: put US forces in an effort to take over Greenland

550
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: and did allude to that. He did talk about that.

551
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: But they're supposedly a framework for an agreement. Let's hope

552
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: there is. I would say to you that both Russia

553
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: and China are malign actors. By that, I mean Putin

554
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: thinks the dissolution of the Soviet Union was the greatest

555
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: tragedy of.

556
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 10: The twentieth century.

557
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: He has invaded a country that he has no right

558
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: to invade. We need to stand by Ukraine. China has

559
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 2: its eyes on Taiwan. That is an independent country. It

560
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: should never be taken over by communists. China, they are

561
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: malign actors. They are not good countries. You know, China

562
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: and Russia. The leadership, I'm not talking about the people.

563
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: The leadership are malign leaders and they have caused problems

564
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: in many parts of the world. And they are right

565
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: now enemies, potential enemies. So we put it like that,

566
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 2: potential enemies of the United States. I wouldn't trust either

567
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: of those nations right now. I will trust Sweden and

568
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 2: I will trust Italy. There's a lot of countries around

569
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: the world that I will trust. Russia and China are

570
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: not on that list, nor is Iran.

571
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 11: But if you don't trust, if you like, you say,

572
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 11: you can't trust it. But in that flame of mind,

573
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 11: do we go ahead and dial that dome that you're

574
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 11: talking about?

575
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: Yes?

576
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 11: Is that the alternative?

577
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: Yes?

578
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 11: You see? Yeah?

579
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: And what they have what they mean by a dome

580
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: is they don't mean like putting a dome like you

581
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: put over a football stadium.

582
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 10: Thinking about in Israel what they have, yes, right, what

583
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 10: they have so that they could track them the missiles

584
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 10: coming in and take them out in the air.

585
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: Now nothing is one hundred percent, so some will get through,

586
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: but some won't, and most won't get through. At least

587
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 2: most didn't. Israel had had a knockdown rate, which was great,

588
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: and that is where we can can defend ourselves technologically.

589
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: That's all nothing wrong with that.

590
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 11: So do you think the Europeans are not interested in that?

591
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 11: If they would be interested in that like you are,

592
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 11: do you and a lot of other people, would that

593
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 11: help them because right now they don't think true.

594
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: It might be that the United States is not going

595
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: to build a dome over Europe and not They'll build

596
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: a dome here first, and then hopefully we can build

597
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: a dome over Europe at some point, long after you

598
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: and I have passed on.

599
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 11: Oh one more thing. When you were talking to one

600
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 11: of those callers before, the one who calls Trump a

601
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 11: petulant child, I think you were trying to get him

602
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 11: to say the Dawn Basque region, was that it the

603
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 11: Dawn Basque and the Lawansk region.

604
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: Well, those regions are regions that Russia now occupies, and

605
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: when this war is settled, I'm sure that we'll be

606
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: taking there, primarily Russian speaking areas that will be seated

607
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 2: by Ukraine to Russia. My concern is that I don't

608
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: want to have World War three start over Ukraine. I

609
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: want to help Ukraine, but I don't want to give

610
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: them Tomahawk missiles because if we do, they will use

611
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: those Tomahawk missiles to strike mass And at that point,

612
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: as we would say, Katie, bar the door, you have

613
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 2: no idea how what Russia would react.

614
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 10: No, we don't.

615
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Tina, I got a run. I'm wipe

616
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,959

Speaker 2: and Carol coming back on Nightside.

625
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.

626
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 2: We're within the five minute mark. I'm going to ask

627
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 2: everybody to be as quick as they can, and I

628
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 2: will try to just listen Carol and Randolf next Carrol

629
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: on nightside, Hey Dan.

630
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my call. I mean, I had no

631
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 8: doubt that this was going to work out for Greenland, okay,

632
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 8: But the one concern I have is the people Greenland.

633
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 8: Nobody talks about them.

634
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 2: Fifty six thousand is the population.

635
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 8: Yes, and they have the highest suicide rate. And it's like,

636
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 8: I hope that we take care of those people. And

637
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 8: I mean fifty five thousand, but they're Inuit and they

638
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 8: deserve to be respected, as I agree.

639
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 2: I agree, and they were not respected. They were the

640
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 2: subject of a four sterilization program. The women.

641
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 8: That's it that appalls me.

642
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 2: It's oh my, by the way, that was in the

643
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 2: nineteen sixties and seventies, yes, relatively recently.

644
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's just disgusting, and it's no whoever gets

645
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 8: control of that country has to take care of these people.

646
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think that that if we do get involved,

647
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: that should be part of our involvement. Carol, I love

648
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: your call, Thank you. I hate I know how long

649
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: you waited, but I got two more who I at

650
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: least want to try.

651
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 8: To get it, I know, but I had to bring

652
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 8: that to light.

653
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: I'm so glad you did. I'm so glad you did.

654
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: Mission accomplished, Carol, thank you so much. We will talk soon.

655
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 2: I owe you some time.

656
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, thanks, Dany's good night.

657
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: Let me go next too, Neil and reading. Neil, all yours,

658
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: take it away. Go ahead, sir.

659
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, yes, sir, you're on the air.

660
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 2: Go right ahead.

661
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 9: Okay, all right. So I did some research. Where our

662
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 9: base is up at the top of Greenland. It is

663
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 9: dark five months of the year. The average temperature in

664
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 9: the daytime could be minus twenty degrees fahrenheit, with a

665
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 9: seasonal low of minus forty seven degrees fahrenheit. So it's

666
00:38:53,640 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 9: an almost inhabitable idea location. Russia is building supply ports

667
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 9: commercial three commercial ports to refuel and restock and offload

668
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 9: cargo coming through the Arctic because of the melt. They're

669
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 9: doing nothing about military. They truly has a raytheon phased

670
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 9: radar system, which can look twenty eight hundred miles into

671
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 9: space and see nuclear missiles of coming.

672
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Geo, this is not Neil, This is not ready.

673
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: This is this Geo. Geo. I know if you call earlier.

674
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: I'll give you every opportunity, but you can't call at

675
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: this time and expect to get five minutes. So I

676
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: got to cut you off. Thank you for giving us

677
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: the information, but please call Earl this weekend of a conversation.

678
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 2: Let me go next to Bill and Easton. Bill, we're

679
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 2: really tight on time.

680
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 12: Go right ahead, Bill, Dan, I think it's important. I

681
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 12: agree with you that it's peace through superior firepower.

682
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 4: We are the good guys. You know everybody says.

683
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 12: Trump is Oh, he's a dictator to all this and

684
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 12: nothing compared to Chairman Mao and Stalin.

685
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 2: Or to Z by the way, make it more current

686
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: to Zee and Poutin. I'm with you totally. Bill.

687
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 12: Oh. You know, I have a friend from Hong Kong.

688
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 12: He sees the Democrats, you know, not understanding communism. I

689
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 12: know someone that lived in Bulgaria and she saw how

690
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 12: ridiculous that system is.

691
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: All right, let me, I got to check. I gotta

692
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: get a time check from Rob because I'm getting perilously

693
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: close to them. Okay, I can give you about ten

694
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: more seconds. Bill, go ahead.

695
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 12: Okay, So it's peace through superior firepower. You want to

696
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 12: talk Russian and Chinese.

697
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 2: You know you want to hell no, yeah, I don't

698
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: want to rely upon them their munificence, that's for sure,

699
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 2: because I think they would do us in at a

700
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: moment's note, at least the current leadership bill. Thank you

701
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 2: so much to the callers on the line. You called

702
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: just too late. I apologize. We may hit this again

703
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 2: tomorrow night, no promises. Thank you so much for calling.

704
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: Thank you all for listening. I wish you'd call earlier.

705
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: That's a problem we seem to have. I'll have to somehow,

706
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: I think direct correct it. Thanks Maria, Thanks Rob, Thanks
