1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: New Radio Boy that that is the stun of we

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: We did mention that at the end of the ten

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: o'clock hour, but wow.

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: The hero for the Venezuelan team was Wilbur Abreo, the

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: Red Sox right fielder who had a two run homer,

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: a big part of that three to two victory.

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: Venezuela was lit was winning to nothing, and then Harper

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: hit a home run for the USA. Uh, and Venezuela

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: wanted in the in the top of well, he wanted

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: on the top of the ninth and they held on. Anyway,

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: we're not talking baseball. We are talking war in peace,

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: and we're talking about what's going on in the Middle East.

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: And I am always delighted to be joined by Wil

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: from Long Island. If you'd like to participate in the conversation,

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: now is the time to dial six one se four

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: to ten thirty or six one seven. Let me see

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: what Will has to say. Will welcome back to Night's Side.

21
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,279
Speaker 2: Thank you for calling.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Hey, Dan, how you doing. I don't like war. I

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 3: I one of the reasons I like Trump was because

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: he didn't start new conflicts, but the past couple have

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: kind of been pertinent. I remember, as a young man,

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: really young actually, when we first went into Iraq. I

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 3: understood we were defending Kuwait and what was going on,

28
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: but I remember saying to myself, why are we not

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: in Iran? And then, as a little bit older man,

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: but still a young man, we went into Iraq again,

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: and I remember asking my friends and talking to other

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: people on the radio, like you was saying, why are

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: we not in Iran. This has been a constant theme

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: in my mind that the perpetrator of all these atrocities

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: in the Middle East have been iron We know that

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: they've attacked up We probably should have done this right

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: after bab Route, right then and there, to be done

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: with this and try to end it then. But we've

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: waited forty years for this, and now they are proving

40
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: why they cannot have a nuclear weapon. They're indiscriminately bombing neighbors.

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: I saw a KUWAITI I'm not sure if he was

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: an analyst or one of their ministers. They asked him

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: a simple question Muslim country that he was being you know,

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 3: interviewed by our Muslim you know, yeah, right, And they

45
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: asked them they said, who is a bigger threat, Iran

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: or Israel. Now they had the translation, And I don't

47
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 3: speak Arabic or any of the languages they speak there,

48
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: but I do know that he said Iran, Iran, Iran,

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: over and over and over again, and said, Israel's not

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: the one attacking US. Israel is not the one bombing US.

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: Israel hasn't been the country that's been the destabilizing force

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: in the Middle East for decades. Israel isn't the one

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 3: supporting terrorists that are bombing nations, including mine, all over

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: the Middle East. Israel's not the one trying to take

55
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: over the Middle East. Israel is trying to stop what

56
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 3: Iran is trying to do. I mean, if you look

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: at what is doing right now while they're under attack,

58
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: bombing people that would probably some of them have been

59
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: sympathetic to them. I think your proven to the world

60
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: why you can't have a nuclear bomb.

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I think. What I think Ron tried to

62
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: do with that strategy was if they could inflict some

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: damage and some discomfort on their neighbors, their golf neighbors,

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: maybe those golf neighbors would have no. No would have

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: prevailed upon the Trump administration to stand down. I think

66
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: that's what their hope was. I think they misjudged that,

67
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: but that's what that's what their hope was.

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: Right And if that doesn't seem idiotic in every way

69
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: to you, right, and obviously hasn't been working. But hasn't

70
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: That pretty much been their strategy for the past forty years,

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: by attacking their neighbors and having terrorism in their countries

72
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: to stop supporting the United States, and it hasn't worked.

73
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: It's only turned them closer to the United States.

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Well, they had before this, they had not attacked Saudi Arabia.

75
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Directly, not not directly, but through but through all their proxies.

76
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: They create these stabilization around them all over the place.

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: They create conflicts where these nations don't want conflict.

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm saying I think that there was a

79
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: period of time when a lot of the Golf States

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: didn't like Israel. There was a period of time where

81
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: you couldn't fly from one Gulf State to Israel or

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: vice versa. But I think a lot of that has

83
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: gone away. And I think that the Golf States, the

84
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: smart people in the Golf States, say hey, we can

85
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: really build some beautiful cities here. We can all do well.

86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: There's oil here, and Iran just never got with the program,

87
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: and they're paying a price for it tonight.

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: The Abraham Accords were a first glimpse into that, okay,

89
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,559
Speaker 3: and a lot of that was undone after the previous administration. Also,

90
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that the United States isn't bombing their

91
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: oil infrastructure because we're worried about what oil they'll have

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 3: left after they do business. I think that we're more

93
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: concerned about what the other nations that are hetering on,

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: you know, outright condemning us or maybe even getting some

95
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: type of involvement on behalf of Iran. I think we're

96
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: more concerned about what they think. I think we're more

97
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 3: concerned about the global implications of US bombing their oil,

98
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: not the actual ramifications of just what we do to Iran.

99
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: Right, But there's no need to bomb the oil. It

100
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: seems to me that that would be kind of productive.

101
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: Because, you wi, they're still getting millions of barrels of

102
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: oil out of the Strait of Hormuz and they're still

103
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: able to sell oil and finance their war. So yes, technically,

104
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: if we wanted to completely obliterate our enemy, we would

105
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: try to cut off their supply of money.

106
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 3: Right so, that would be a strategy that would be

107
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: employed if we weren't concerned about what China and Russia

108
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: and everybody else would think about us doing something like that.

109
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: Right now, they're kind of all giving us a pass

110
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: and sitting back and seeing how we handle this. But

111
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: I think if we started doing that, you would see

112
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: much more pressure from China and Russia and other countries

113
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: and even Europe saying you can't do that.

114
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: And it may well, it may. It may be that

115
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: that that Iran has has caused aggravation to countries and

116
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: regions for for decades, and maybe that people who don't

117
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: who aren't intuitively going to are instinctively going to support

118
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: net Nyahu, are like the Israeli government, or even like

119
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: the Israeli people say at this point, look, Iran's causing

120
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: more problems in their worth. Let's let the US deal

121
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: with them, and let's let the US do what they

122
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: have to do. That's what I hope that people will

123
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: come to their senses.

124
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: And one last thing I wanted to bring up the

125
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: real problem with Iran, and you know, real fundamentalists in general,

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: is that obviously these people believe that they're going to

127
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: be rewarded for this right. So and obviously we know

128
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: that's the dangers of nuclear right, and you know, and

129
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: and you know, I know that we have some disagreements

130
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: on this, a little big or a little bit, you know,

131
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: more to the center on this than me. But I mean,

132
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: if you just look at I mean, I think it

133
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: was Winston Churchill at one point talk about he warned

134
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: about some of the Islamic nations, and he said, how

135
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: dreadful are the curses which Muhammedism lays on his votaries.

136
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of

137
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it.

138
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: No stronger retrograde force exists in this world. And the

139
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: countries that strictly follow Islam. And now we've seen Saudi

140
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: Arabia moving more towards the center and becoming less radical,

141
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: at least their government saying in the UA. But the

142
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: countries that follow this radical ideology and believe this are

143
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: really a threat to the danger of the world, because

144
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: as we worship life, a lot of them just believe

145
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: in death and bringing us to Allah and all of us,

146
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: we all go together, and it would be a reward

147
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: to them. So it's really a scary proposition that a

148
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: country like that should ever have a nuclear weapon. I

149
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: can't believe everybody's not on board with this.

150
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: Well, I hope more people support your points. You made

151
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: your points eloquently, including quoting Wisdom Churchill, and I do

152
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: believe that I believe that that there's room in this

153
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: world for a lot of different type of religions. But

154
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: when you get into this situation where they're interpreting the

155
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: religion in such a way, I don't know of any

156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: religion in America that imposed such restrictions on its members

157
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: than have been imposed on the people of Iran by

158
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: the Iranian dictatorship.

159
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one day, you know, when we're on a

160
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: different topic of conversation with more theological we can talk

161
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: about how that actually came about, because there is a

162
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: lot of scripture in there that literally calls for it.

163
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: So it's hard to say, you know, are you radicalizing

164
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: it when the actual text is actually pretty radical. It's

165
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: a far cry from pray for the sinners, pray for

166
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: your neighbor, and without no questions.

167
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: Thanks, Well, talk soon, Okay.

168
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 4: Take it easy.

169
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: Good night again. I have really good callers, and I

170
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,400

Speaker 2: four to ten thirty six one seven, nine, three one

173
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: ten thirty. I believe that the next couple of days

174
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: are going to be critical days, between now and the

175
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: weekend in this war. If those bombing raids were successful,

176
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: and those five hundred pound bunker busters bombs the did

177
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: the work that we would hope they did, that is

178
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: going to do more to open up the straits of

179
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: Hormuz any than any diplomatic negotiation. Six one seven, two,

180
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: five four ten thirty six one seven nine three one

181
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: ten thirty. As I've often said, this program is about

182
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: what you think, and I don't kill I mean, obviously

183
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: I want you to come, you know, with your thoughts,

184
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: but it doesn't matter to me whether you agree or disagree.

185
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: We can disagree, we can have a conversation, we can agree,

186
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: we can have a conversation. That's what this show is

187
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: all about. It's Nightside with Dan Ray. I'm Dan Ray.

189
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: take advantage of the open lines. Right now six one, seven, two, five, four,

190
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: ten thirty. I know that many of you out there

191
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: believe and agree with what I'm saying. Don't hesitate to

192
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: join the conversation because it will it will help others

193
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: understand that it's okay. It's okay to stick your head

194
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: up out of the fox hole and say yes, I

195
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 2: might not like what Trump says about this. I might

196
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: not like the way he comports himself. I might lot

197
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: Last night we criticized his sons for having conflicts of

198
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: interest as they become investors in this company that would

199
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: that would would try to promote to produce and manufacture drones.

200
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: You don't have to be with Trump all down the line, however,

201
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: I think on this military action he's doing, which what

202
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: needs which needed to be done. It's as simple as that.

203
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: And if you disagree more than anyone, I'd love to

204
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: hear from you. I know Bob called, and I know

205
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: that Bob had strong feelings, but those are his honest feelings,

206
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: and you are allowed, you are encouraged to express your

207
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 2: honest feelings here on Nightside six one seven, two, five,

208
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: four ten thirty, six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.

209
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: Easy numbers to remember. Just dial away, Mike and Quincy

210
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 2: is coming up on the other side, and I got

211
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: a bunch of lines that are open, so let's fill

212
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: them up. You'll wait until five minutes of midnight to call,

213
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: and you won't have an opportunity to express yourself. Coming

214
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: back on Nightside, It's Night Side with Dan Ray on

215
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: w Boston's news radio. Oh, let's get to the calls.

216
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm watching in the corner of my eye CNN that

217
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: has some professor who's saying that Trump is getting stuck.

218
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: I just think that that it's so easy to to say, oh, yeah,

219
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: we're going down the wrong world. Let's see what he does. Okay,

220
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: let's see what he does here. We've lost thirteen military personnel.

221
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to lose any more. I agree with

222
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: everyone on that, but sometimes sometimes our military has to act,

223
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: and it has acted very well and very effectively. Let

224
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: me go next to Mike is in Quincy. Mike, appreciate

225
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: your your patients, your next on NIGHTSID.

226
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 5: Go right ahead, Hey, Jane, I'd like to say I

227
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 5: be Saint Patrick Day and more importantly, happy evacuation there.

228
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, both of those days are important.

229
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 5: This for a whole lot of reasons, ninety five percent hours,

230
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 5: but I think evacuation day was actually more important. But anyways, yeah,

231
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 5: so I was just curious. So I don't know the answer.

232
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 5: This isn't you know, I got you or whatever. Sure,

233
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: I'm just wonder what the difference is. What's the difference

234
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 5: between when we went to Iraq and we got Sadam

235
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 5: and we fed him.

236
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 4: To the fairsh or whatever, and then.

237
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 5: George Bush flies in on a jay's mission accomplished, and

238
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 5: then we were there for twenty years and everyone thinks

239
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 5: this war is gonna be over in two weeks. And

240
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 5: I don't know the answer. I'm just asking them.

241
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: But sure, Okay, Well here's here's my response. First of all,

242
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: you're right the the Iraq War was ill conceived, and

243
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: it was we were there for twenty years. I think

244
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: we made the mistake of not understanding the Iraqi people.

245
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: I don't think we understood the the Sunni and the

246
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: Shiah religions that were at play. And I also think

247
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: it was a totally different set of military and political

248
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: advisors that George Bush had. I think Donald trumpis ro

249
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: out of himself with some pretty smart people. I think

250
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: he has he has people in the military at the

251
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: heads of the military that he believes are loyal and

252
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 2: are ready to do whatever needs to be done. And

253
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, remember they had shock on all when they

254
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: bombed Baghdad. That lasted for a couple of days and

255
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: then it was over. They were pulling down statues. But

256
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: we never won the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people.

257
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: And I do believe that the substantial number of Iranians

258
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: who are sick and tired of being ruled by a

259
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: bunch of iatolas for forty seven years, and I think

260
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: that the potential for a genuine uprising by the people

261
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: of Iran is much greater than it ever was by

262
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: the people of Iraq. And I think Iran, by the way,

263
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: is a much more westernized country than Iraq ever was.

264
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: Iran used to be a country that was very western.

265
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: It was the most western of the Middle Eastern countries historically.

266
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: And so I think that is what Trump is relying upon.

267
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: And he's also believes that he has to take this

268
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: government out because if he doesn't, they've had this opportunity

269
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: to develop nuclear weapons and if and when they ever

270
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: got him, they'd use them. So that's that's fundamentally. The

271
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: difference is that I see, I think that we have

272
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: to do. I think what Bush did was an option.

273
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: What we should have done was allowed to run and

274
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: Iraq to you know, we did, I guess try to

275
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: arm both sides during their war during the nineteen eighties.

276
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: But I think that I think Trump sees this a

277
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: lot more coldly than Bush did. Bush had the concern

278
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: about if you remember, his dad had been marked about

279
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: for assassination by the Iraqis.

280
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was upset to try to kill my daddy.

281
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 5: So I believe he went where I ran instead of

282
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 5: going to Afghanistan, right.

283
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, and that was a huge mistake. I'm hoping

284
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: that that Trump and the people around him are much

285
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: more analytical than Bush and the people around him, in

286
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: my opinion, do you asked me the question, never been

287
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: asked that question before. That's my answer.

288
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 5: That's a that's a great answer, Dan, thank you, Because

289
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 5: I was just curious. I was like, all right, well,

290
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: these guys were you know, crazy, We went in there,

291
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 5: took over the country, he killed Saddam or whatever, and

292
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 5: it was like, what do we do now?

293
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

294
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: I was just wondering, like.

295
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there was a there was a there was

296
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: a yeah, there was a lot of that. I remember

297
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: when they pulled him out of the spider hole. It

298
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: was that was a faric victory if there ever was one.

299
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: You got to give President Obama credit for having pursued.

300
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 4: I think Obama was a great president.

301
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 5: Okay, well, George W. I think George W. Was hilarious,

302
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: But I don't think he was necessarily ready for that.

303
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 5: I think, you know his day, I got him the

304
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: job kind of.

305
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 6: You know.

306
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think being the governor of Texas

307
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: didn't hurt in those days. And I think that Bush run.

308
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 5: The baseball team. He couldn't eve run the Texas Rangers.

309
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of guys who fail. There's only

310
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: one baseball team that wins every year.

311
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna run the country.

312
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not here to was that was years ago,

313
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: But I'm not here to defend I'm not here to

314
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: defend George Bush. But but I will tell you I

315
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: remember having a conversation with him, and it would have

316
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: been nineteen ninety nine about baseball. We were in New Hampshire.

317
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: Did a fairly lengthy interview with George Busch, forty forty three. Well,

318
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: he was governor of Texas, and I remember I asked

319
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: him if he had one player to pick to start

320
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: a to start a franchise, who would he pick? And no, no, no, no, no.

321
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: He picked Rodriguez, the catcher, the great catcher. I picked

322
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: No Marez, Yeah, Ivan Rodriguez.

323
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 5: And he he shrink after steroids with you know we're

324
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 5: in the league.

325
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

326
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: Well, maybe he should have thought that I picked no

327
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: mar Gussie Para because I always thought as a shortstop

328
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: he was great. So we had one good conversation about baseball.

329
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: But the bottom the bottom line is I think that

330
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: that when when you think about it, Uh, they were

331
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: a lot of times that Clinton dropped the ball. Remember

332
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: before nine to eleven, they had tried to take down

333
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: the World Trade.

334
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 5: Center with a center like three years before that, it was.

335
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: Ninety four, it was ninety four the Blind Chic. They

336
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: tried to detonate a bomb in the basement of the

337
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: World Trade Center. The bottom line is, I don't think

338
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: George Bush was prepared for the for the job. And

339
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: I also think that you know that that that nine

340
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: to eleven never should have been allowed to happen. I

341
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: mean that was that.

342
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 5: Was would you blame nine eleven on Clinton?

343
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: I would blame it on the predecessors of Joy Push

344
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: more so than on George Buoysch. He inherited the situation.

345
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: That was September of two thousand and one.

346
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 4: So he was reading a book to someonedering it.

347
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: Well, no, he boy said, when it happened, let's be

348
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: fair here, okay, when when it happened? He was on

349
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: the president was speaking to a class of first graders

350
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: in uh in, Florida.

351
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was reading the book the first grader is right,

352
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 5: and they told him in his ear, hey, there's a

353
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: bomb going off or whatever, you know, there's a terrorist attack,

354
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 5: and kept reading, Well.

355
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: What would you like him to jump up? I mean

356
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: what he was told by Andy Carr.

357
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 5: I want you to tell me, man, I want you

358
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 5: to tell me because I don't know how that know.

359
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is, you're the president of the United States.

360
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: What do you do? You do you get up and say,

361
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: oh my god, I got to get out of here

362
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: and run out of the room.

363
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 5: Is you you know, maybe you get up and say

364
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: I've used a restaurant and you make a phone call.

365
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think that that's what you have

366
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: your staff for. He finished, he got up, and he left.

367
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: Uh and that day changed America for the for the worse. Okay, anyway, Mike,

368
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: good questions. I'm glad you liked my first answer. You

369
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: didn't like my subsequent answers. I think Clinton was a

370
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: better president than George Bush. I will give you that,

371
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: But there were things that happened on Clinton's watch that

372
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: he missed entirely and well, well, by the way, let

373
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: me just finish. While Bush was reading a book when

374
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: nine to eleven occurred, that timing was not picked by

375
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 2: George Bush. Clinton should have been paying more attention to

376
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: what went on in the basement of the World Trade

377
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: Center at nineteen ninety four than what was going on

378
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: in the Oval office with Monica Lewinsky, if you get

379
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: my drift.

380
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: Hey, last question, Dan, who was a better and more

381
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 5: effective president Clinton.

382
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: Or George w I think Clinton was.

383
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: Ye, and I leaned to the you know, I'm an independent.

384
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 4: I leaned to the right, but I think I voted

385
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: for you know him.

386
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: I think when you look back at Dick Cheney had

387
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: an overwhelming influence. Dick Cheney was not the good guy

388
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 2: that once Dick Cheney turned on Donald Trump.

389
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 5: He was why was he in charge?

390
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: He was in charge because George Boys probably didn't have

391
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 2: the experience that Cheney had. But beyond that, Cheney, who

392
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: the media considered to be Darth Vader, was all but

393
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: beatified by that same media once his daughter turned on

394
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. You got you gotta read between the lines here, Mike. Anyway,

395
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: I got a run, man. It was a great call.

396
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: Thank you much.

397
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 5: I love talking back at you.

398
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, sir. I hope you love talking to

399
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 2: me if you do. Six one, seven, two, five, four,

400
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: ten thirty six months, seven nine, three, one, ten thirty.

401
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: Coming right back on Nightside.

402
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 8: It's Nightside with Dan on.

403
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: Boston's news radio. I'm looking at tomorrow mornings. Actually it

404
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 2: was the editorial today in the New York Times, which

405
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 2: is interesting and we'll get into this. President Trump went

406
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: to war against By the way, the headline is Trump

407
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: can't spin his way out of this war. The New

408
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: York Times has been so wrong on so many issues.

409
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: And to see this, President Trump went to war against

410
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: Iran without explaining his strategy to the American people of

411
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: the world. You don't explain your strategy when you go

412
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: to war, you don't tell the enemy here's what we're

413
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 2: gonna do. It now appears he might not have had

414
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: much of a strategy at all. He took out fifty

415
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: four leg He basically took out the entire leadership of Iran.

416
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: And I don't know how it's going to end, but

417
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good first day anyway. Boy, I'll tell you,

418
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 2: these folks hate Trump with a passion. I mean, oh boy,

419
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: let me go to Pete in South Carolina. Pete welcome.

420
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: How are you, sir?

421
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 8: I'm fine, Dan, how are you good?

422
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: And I will tell you one.

423
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 8: Thing while I'm waiting online to get my turn. Yes,

424
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 8: you took my complete spin.

425
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 6: When you said when you.

426
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 8: Said that President Trump is hoping that there would be

427
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 8: a civil uprising for lack of a better term, with

428
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 8: the population of i Ran, I mean, forty seven years

429
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 8: of craziness is crazy. And the other thing I just

430
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 8: wanted to say, he did take out the navy, he

431
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 8: took out the leadership. I don't know what else you

432
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 8: wanted to do, other than the fact that I really

433
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 8: think that the people in NATO could get their act together.

434
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 8: And you know, say, what do you want us to

435
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 8: do now. I just saw on the paper today that

436
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 8: Japan is sending some navy ships to I guess escort

437
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 8: tankers through the Strait.

438
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 6: But the man was.

439
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 8: Elected by over half the population of the United States.

440
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 8: I don't know what else.

441
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 3: He can do.

442
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 8: Well, But you said the New York Yah ahead.

443
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 2: Well I'm just saying, is that. Look, I think basically

444
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 2: what I've watched happen in the last whatever it is,

445
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: seventeen days is extraordinary. When he took out their nuclear reactors,

446
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: remember there was all this skepticism and people said, well no,

447
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: and I said, watch what Iran does in the next

448
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Their leaders were nowhere to be found.

449
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: There were no bellicose statements from Iran. They were quiet.

450
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: There was that little dust up of twelve days was over.

451
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: This is a This is a pretty big dust up.

452
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: You know, it's going to go a little longer. He

453
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: wants to finish the job. That's the problem with most

454
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: American presidents. If you're going to go to war, go

455
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: to war and get it over with and win it.

456
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: That's the strategy. It's not go to war and have

457
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 2: have an exit strategy. Why would you go to war

458
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: with an exit strategy. I mean, this is.

459
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 8: When you and I are both old enough to remember

460
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 8: we went to war in Vietnam with our hands tied

461
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 8: behind our back.

462
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure that was where Well again there was the

463
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 2: politics of the time. Now, that was a war that

464
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: began under President Kennedy and was escalated by Lyndon Johnson.

465
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: And you you want to talk about an administration Robert McNamara,

466
00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: that coward said subsequently, and I remember listen to him

467
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: say this at Harvard. He said that he knew he

468
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: was the defense secretary. He said he knew all along

469
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: that war was unwinnable. Yet he sent young American men

470
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 2: and women because there were women who went to war

471
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: in nurses during that war. They weren't drafting women. But

472
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: he said, oh I knew all along we couldn't win

473
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: that war. Then what the hell are you doing sending

474
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 2: people off to die in the rice patties?

475
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 8: Eight thousand men yet? But anyway, I know you've got

476
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 8: a lot of people want to get in. So I

477
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,119

Speaker 2: Dial in six one, seven, two, four ten thirty six one, seven, nine,

495
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: three thirty. Let me go next to Frank in Boston. Frank,

496
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: you are next on Nightside. Go right ahead, sir.

497
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 6: Here, sir, the one problem happened is the defense of

498
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: mister Trump's actions after the fact. There was no defense.

499
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 6: There was no build up. Oh maybe maybe maybe I

500
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 6: do something. Maybe, and hey, guys, support me, follow me

501
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 6: like there wasn't an other thing and the other past wars.

502
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 6: And I think That's one of the reasons why this

503
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 6: might just go haywire, because you didn't prepare us, You

504
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 6: didn't give us something, you know. You you presented this

505
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 6: thing to us when when we were when we weren't

506
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 6: even at the table.

507
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: And well, Frank, if I could.

508
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 6: Both nations seem to have done the same thing to

509
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 6: their people.

510
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Frank, if I could, let me, let me ask

511
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: you they did this and feel free. We can't have

512
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: a conversation and correct me when you think I'm wrong. Uh,

513
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: we did this in conjunction with the nation of Israel.

514
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: There was a coordinated effort between between the United States

515
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: and Israel. Would you agree with me on that?

516
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm sorry to say yes.

517
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I'm just trying to state something that

518
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: we can agree upon as a conversation starter. They they

519
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: took out the leadership of this country, like two or three.

520
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: I believe that at the meeting that they hit that

521
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, I think that the number was like fifty

522
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: four leaders. They are you like, are you in a

523
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: hit a car with the door open? Frank, because I'm

524
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: hearing a bell in the background.

525
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 6: I'm sorry I asked about right now? He was my

526
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 6: seat belt.

527
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh your seatbell. Well, I want you to

528
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: be wearing your seatbelt because I don't want I don't

529
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: want you to get into an accident get hurt. My friend.

530
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 6: I'm stocked, I'm stopped. Okay, I'm stopped. I'm stopped. I'm stopped.

531
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good, that's great, that's great. So so what

532
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying is he he couldn't say, hey, next week sometime,

533
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna hit around and hit him hard.

534
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: They wanted to take out the entire leadership structure of

535
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: that country. I don't know if any other country that

536
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: could have done that, but in conjunction with Israel, we did,

537
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: and they have been on their heels ever since. Now

538
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: they've been firing off missiles and they have had a

539
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: few lucky strikes. But do you I'm gonna ask you

540
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: a question, and I don't know what you're gonna say,

541
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: tell me the truth. Do you think we are safer?

542
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: And do you think that the country of Israel in

543
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: the Middle East is safer if Iran is no longer

544
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: a nuclear power?

545
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 6: Well, for one thing, they never were in nuclear power, but.

546
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: They were trying to be. They were trying too, And.

547
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 6: For two, we're well off for who Because from what

548
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 6: I understand, if this goes the way it's gonna go,

549
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 6: you're gonna have nothing, but aren't a key in these nations.

550
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 6: They're gonna be fighting each other, killing each other for

551
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 6: who knows how long. And yet that might make us safer,

552
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 6: but the rest of the world and their countries in particular,

553
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 6: it's gonna be hell for them for the next.

554
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: Who's going to be fighting who because at this point

555
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: you have.

556
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 6: The citizenry of those nations.

557
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: But all of those nations, all of the Gulf nations

558
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: were attacked by Iran.

559
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 6: I'm talking about Iran. We are attacked Iran Iran and

560
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 6: gonna end up being in a hellhole with them factions

561
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 6: fighting each other. So yes, we may be well off

562
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 6: and safer, but when it comes to that nation, it's

563
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 6: gonna be anohing but confusion. And from what I'm hearing,

564
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 6: that's exactly the situation that they want to accomplish. They

565
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 6: want these nations to be hellholes. They want to bomb

566
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 6: them back into the Stone Age, and that white there

567
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 6: may help us, but it doesn't help them. I don't

568
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 6: want to see help the security of the region all.

569
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: Right, okay, Frank, we're going to agree to disagree. I

570
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: think I'd rather end it as a friendly conversation. You

571
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: had a chance to express your point. I hope I've

572
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: certainly expressed my point. And guess what, Let's keep our

573
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: conversation going, and maybe a couple of weeks or a

574
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: month from now week or even before that, we can

575
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: talk again.

576
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 8: Fair enough, yes, sir.

577
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: Sounds great. All right, Frank, be well, bye bye, thank you,

Speaker 2: Pearl is calling from Roxbury. Hi Pearl, welcome back to Nightside.

589
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 5: Hi Dan, how are you?

590
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm doing great. I'm so happy to hear your voice

591
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: has been a while. Welcome.

592
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 7: Okay.

593
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 6: I really liked.

594
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 7: The President.

595
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 9: I really do.

596
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 7: And I like what he's doing.

597
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 6: He's doing quite a bit.

598
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 5: He really is.

599
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: Well, I agree with you, PEERL. And you know I've

600
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: said it, but I'll say it one more time for

601
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: people just might be listening. I know gas prices have

602
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: gone up, and I know a lot of people are concerned,

603
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: and we're all going to have a few dollars less

604
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: in our pocket when we drive automobiles and pay for gas.

605
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: But I think that's a small price to pay. If

606
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: we can take this country, if our military can take

607
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: this country off the stage of being a world power,

608
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: of being a nuclear power, I think they're crazy. And

609
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: I think they would have thrown a nuke in on

610
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: us if they had the chance. They would have thrown

611
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: a new k.

612
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 6: We really do too, you know.

613
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: And and I look, we're going to have some people

614
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: who act up here. Uh and and we need to

615
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: we need to make sure that our uh that our

616
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: law enforcement is is on their toes. I don't want

617
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: to see another marathon bombing or I don't want to see,

618
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: you know, another mount hood uh. But but but we've

619
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: dealt with that. I mean, we have these people who

620
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 2: come here and they're not happy, uh. And and they

621
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 2: kill people. And they don't care whether it's whether it's

622
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: men or women, adults or children, teenagers. Uh, they don't

623
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: care if they're Democrats, Republicans, as I say, Red Sox fans,

624
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: Yankee fans. They just want to kill Americans. They they

625
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: hate you and they hate me. I don't know why,

626
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: but they do. And uh, and I'm glad. I'm glad

627
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: that that they that they will never have possession of

628
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, meaning this group that led this country.

629
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: I think the Iranian people are great people. Like all

630
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: most most groups of people, it's always a couple of

631
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 2: troublemakers or you know, a handful of troublemakers. These guys

632
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: were you know, they they think they're going to go

633
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: to heaven if if you know, they're they're religious fanatics.

634
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: And that's that's not the same as people who in

635
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: uh in Boston. I've grown up either you know, in

636
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: in this church or that church, or this synagogue or

637
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: that temple. Every most most religions of the world want

638
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: to live with other religions. This the leaders, and I

639
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 2: think the religion will want to live with other people.

640
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: But these leaders, they were they were going to use

641
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 2: it if they could get it, and thank god, I

642
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 2: don't think they're going to get it.

643
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 6: Blank.

644
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,520

674
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: of minutes for you.

675
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 9: Go right ahead, Hey, Daniel, you mean I was just

676
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 9: gonna say, still keeping up with my New Year's resolutions,

677
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 9: And here it is. It's March, so I'm happy about that.

678
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 2: And what is the new year?

679
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: What?

680
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 2: What I forget for a moment here? What's the new

681
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: Year's resolution?

682
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 9: Not that I need to, but I said to myself

683
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 9: that I would do fifty push ups and fifty crunches

684
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 9: every day and go to the gym. So I've been

685
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 9: keeping up with that, and I'm surprised. But you know,

686
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 9: at the end of the day, you know, for whatever reason,

687
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 9: you know, if it makes you feel good or makes

688
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 9: you look good, I think it's okay.

689
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: Well, I don't what have you do here? Don't be shy. No, Look,

690
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: it's great to stay in shape. And what what I

691
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: like about the gym is when the gym is over,

692
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: because that's when you feel great. It's tough to get

693
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: it's tough to get out of bed. It's tough to

694
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: drag yourself to the gym or wherever you're going. But

695
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 2: you could do what you're doing. The crunches and the pushups,

696
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: you can do them at home. You don't have to

697
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: go anywhere. It doesn't cost you anything. Right, that's the

698
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: best exercise.

699
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 9: Actually, walking the dog is the best exercise. My Golden Doodle,

700
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 9: he just like drags me here and there.

701
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: That's okay. So look, I'm we're getting tight on time.

702
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,399
Speaker 2: Do you do you support what the president is doing

703
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 2: in Iran?

704
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 9: I sort of agree with him, and actually I think

705
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 9: they try to hit the Holy Land? Is that correct?

706
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 9: Or that's where I do not know that? Yeah, I think,

707
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 9: but you know they shut it down. My question was this,

708
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 9: do you think what would give us, uh, you know,

709
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 9: peace on earth? It would be like an invader from extraterrestrials.

710
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 9: Because every you know, as far as I can remember,

711
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 9: we always say, you know, we want peace on earth,

712
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 9: but it never happens, and if humanity would, the only

713
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 9: way we'd get together is by you know, some you

714
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 9: know likes say, aliens, you know, invading us or something.

715
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 2: I hope that never happens because I think I think

716
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: people would panic. Okay, but yeah, maybe someday the Lord

717
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: will come back and and tell us all that that

718
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: we got to we got to behave a little better

719
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 2: if we can probably leave it, leave it at.

720
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 9: That, okay, right exactly, all right, thank you, Thank you

721
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 9: for doing such a good job. It's like getting a
