1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WVS Boston's news radio. 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 2: All Right, welcome back everybody, it is Thanks very much, 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: Dan Watkins. It's ten oh seven, and today was an 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 2: interesting day. There were some statements made by President Trump 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: which I'm not I'm trying to figure out, to be 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: honest with you, what's going on. The stock market liked 7 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: what the President had to say. Today. Each of the 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: major indexes were up over a percentage point. Now, they've 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: been had a rough week and a half, or actually 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: a rough couple of weeks, so they're kind of recovering 11 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: lost ground. But the President apparently late last night, let 12 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: me see if I just want to make sure we 13 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: get this what's going on here to be relying on 14 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: CBS News. But apparently the President said that his ultimatum 15 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: for Iran to reopen up the Strait of Juamus by 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: later in the day of fight face strikes on the 17 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: power plants was being postponed and meant good what he said, 18 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: good and productive peace talks with Tehran. Now, I got 19 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: to be honest with you, I don't know who they 20 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: could be talking to. There's one story that says that 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: Pakistan would be a proper intermediary because they have good 22 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: relations with Iran and with the United States. I don't 23 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: know that Oman or Bahrain or cutter would be the 24 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: proper country to serve as intermediary because obviously they, along 25 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: with Saudi Arabia and some other countries, have been the 26 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: recipient of Iranian missiles in the last couple of weeks. 27 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: The other development over the weekend that I thought was 28 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: really interesting, and I don't know what the implications of 29 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: that are, and I'd love to have you express some 30 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: points of view. Apparently there were two rockets fired from 31 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: Iran heading toward a US British outpost in the Indian Ocean, 32 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 2: Diego Marcia. Apparently one of the rockets was shot down 33 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: and the other didn't hit the island but fell into 34 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: the ocean. But though Diego Garcia is twenty five hundred 35 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: miles from Iran, which is in effect, if I'm doing 36 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: this properly, sort of east southeast in the Indian Ocean, 37 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: and I'm doing this from memory. But what that meant 38 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: was that this was the first time that we realized, 39 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: or at least the media eve seemed to real lies, 40 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: that they have some long range missiles now and if 41 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: you can throw a nuclear warhead on top of a 42 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: missile which has a range of twenty five hundred miles. 43 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 2: That would put well, certainly Israel with a big problem. 44 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 2: But many of the capitals of Europe Budapest, Berlin, Madrid, Paris, 45 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 2: I'm not sure about London, but maybe London. All would 46 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: be Rome, Vienna, I guess Lisbon. All of those major 47 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: European cities would be now within the range of an 48 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: Iranian nuclear warhead. So what happened was the president before 49 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: he went off on some sort of an event today, 50 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,119 Speaker 2: I think it was in Memphis, Tennessee, he spoke and 51 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: I have four comments that he made, so I'm hoping 52 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: someone can interpret these. He's basically saying that the negotiators 53 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: who were negotiating with Iran, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, 54 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: had some good talks over the weekend. Now I'm sure 55 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: there were no face to face talks. I don't think 56 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: the media covers these guys. I don't know if they 57 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: were doing zoom talks. I don't know who they could 58 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 2: have been talking with. And Iran the leadership has been decimated. 59 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: So this was President Trump this morning at Andrews Airbase 60 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: Joint Base Andrews Cut number twenty one, please Rob. 61 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: We have that very very strong talk, so we'll see 62 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: where they laid. We have points of major points of agreement. 63 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: I would say almost all points of agreement. Perhaps that 64 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 3: hasn't been conveyed, and communication, as you know, has been 65 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: blown to be they were unable to talk to each other. 66 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 4: So we've had very strong talks. 67 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: Mister Wickgoff and mister Kushner had them. 68 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: They went I would say perfectly. I would say that 69 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 4: if they carry through with that. 70 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: It'll end that that problem, that conflict, and I think 71 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: it'll end. 72 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: It very very substantially. 73 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 2: So you know, the language is always interesting with Donald 74 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: Trump going to end the conflict substantially. Substantially another of 75 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: a dictionary in front of me means, I think means 76 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: for the most part. I don't think that a synonym 77 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: for substantially is totally or completely substantially. You know, I 78 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: will substantially agree to what you're recommending for the payment 79 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: of rent. I'm not going to pay you three thousand dollars, 80 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: but I'll pay you twenty seven hundred, and I think 81 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: that's ninety percent. That's a substant that's substantially what I 82 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: don't know. So then a reporter challenged him, because the president, 83 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: and you got to give by the way, I want 84 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: to very much just parenthetically here condemn the comments that 85 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: he made about Robert Mueller, and of course similar to 86 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: the comments that he made about Rob Reiner over the 87 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: that he made about Mueller over the weekend. Just classless, classless, 88 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 2: that he's glad he's dead now he's not going to 89 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 2: bother anyone. This is classless or comments. And I think 90 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: he diminishes himself, and he diminishes the office which he 91 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: currently resigns, that he currently enjoys by making such comments. 92 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: But moving that he's asked by a reporter pressed a 93 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: little bit about the discussions. This has cut twenty one A. 94 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: This is this morning, President Trump, this morning. 95 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: We have very much in mind our partners in the 96 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 3: Middle East. We've had great relationships with a lot of them. 97 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: As you know, a lot of them were surprisingly hit 98 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 3: and I was surprised to see it, and so was 99 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: everyone else. 100 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 4: But we have they're very much in mind in the discussions. 101 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 3: So the discussions took place yesterday, they went into yesterday evening. 102 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: They want very much to make a deal we'd like 103 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: to make a deal too. We're going to get together 104 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: today by probably phone, because it's very hard to find 105 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: the country. It's very hard for them to get out, 106 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: I guess. But we'll at some point very soon meet. 107 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 3: We're doing a five day period. We'll see how that goes, 108 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: and if it goes well, we're gonna end up with 109 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: settling this. Otherwise we just keep bombing our little hearts out. 110 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, pretty cavalier, he was, I misspoke, And 111 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: this is the sound bite where the reporter questions him. 112 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: My question would be, how do you know who you're 113 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: talking with? How do you confirm who you're talking with? 114 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: You could be talking to somebody who's pranking you and 115 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: you're making decisions. I don't know. They should know, and 116 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: I would assume that the Mossad Israel should be able 117 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: to tell us who is left in their leadership. This 118 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: is where the reporter asked a question which I thought 119 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: was a pretty good question. Cut twenty two please rob 120 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: Or Ministry says, you're not telling the truth when it 121 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: comes to productive conversations. 122 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 5: Dam the world. 123 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: They're going to have to get themselves better in public 124 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: relations fable. We have had very very strong talk, so 125 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 3: we'll see where they lead. We have points of major 126 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 3: points of agreement. I would say almost all points of agreement. 127 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: Perhaps that hasn't been conveyed, and communication, as you know, 128 00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: has been blown to vices. 129 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 4: They were unable to talk to each other. So we've 130 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 4: had very strong talks. 131 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: Mister Wickgoff and mister Kushner had them. 132 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: They can't talk to each other, but they can talk 133 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: to us. That doesn't make sense. They can't talk to 134 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: each other, then, how do you know the person you're 135 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: talking with represents a consensus of whatever leadership is left. 136 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: I am not as optimistic about this as I think 137 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: the stock market was today, but I'm interested in what 138 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: each of you have to think, you have to say 139 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: on this. I mean, I just as I rooted for 140 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: Joe Biden to be successful, I want Donald Trump to 141 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: be successful, particularly in terms of what he's done. I mean, 142 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: I think that we have clearly clearly taken this regime, 143 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: this regime, this theocratic dictatorship down many pegs. I hope 144 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 2: it's going to take them decades to recover if ever. 145 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 2: If ever, I hope that they go back to becoming Iran, 146 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: a peaceful nation, which is culturally Persian and and and 147 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: allows the Iatolas to uh To to preach their religious 148 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: beliefs whatever they are. But I don't want them in 149 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: government anymore than I want purely religious leaders in government 150 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: in this country. I want to get your thoughts on it. 151 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: Are you heartened by this? Do you think we're any 152 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: closer to a conclusion of this this war? Uh the 153 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: I believe that intelligence sources are saying that the strait 154 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 2: of Homus has been it has a minds, a dozen 155 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: or so minds in the water. There darted with a 156 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: dozen or Anian minds, according to US officials. In mid 157 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: Trump administration demands for toront to keep the free fall 158 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: of commerce. Officials have told CBS News there at least 159 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: a dozen underwater minds through the vital passageway according to 160 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 2: current American intelligence six one, seven, two, five, four ten 161 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty. I 162 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: am looking for as many points of view on this 163 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: as possible. Do you feel that somehow remember when the 164 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: president started, he said two to four weeks. If I recall, 165 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 2: we are now into our third week. Third week. We've 166 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 2: had tremendous military success, but the objectives still need to 167 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: be accomplished. In my opinion, uh And I think that 168 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: Israel is going to have some sort of a say 169 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: as to when we call the dogs off six one, seven, two, five, four, 170 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: ten thirty one line there in six.

And I don't know if it's going to fall. 176 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: Last week they were talks about uh Kourds getting involved militarily. 177 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: They're ethnic minorities in Iran. They were talking about maybe 178 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: the the Iranian military as opposed to the the Revolutionary Guard, 179 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: which are going to be loyal to the Whatever I 180 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: had told us the left we got lost to talk about. 181 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: Feel free give us a call.

Let me go to 184 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: Ed in Carver, Massachusetts. Hey, Ed, welcome, first up this 185 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 2: hour on Nightside. 186 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 7: Gretta head Sir, Actually Ken again, you know, I want 187 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 7: to say I'm. 188 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: Sorry wishing it. This is not ed from carbon. 189 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 7: This is who Ken from Carver Ken? 190 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: Okay, ed or Ken, excuse me, and said said, Ed, 191 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: my mistake, Rob's mistake. You go right ahead, Ken, I'm sorry. 192 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 8: All right. 193 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 7: So I think you know something. It is kind of 194 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 7: vindicated here with with the attack on Iran, and that 195 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 7: is then you know they have missiles. They admitted they 196 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 7: have the enriched uranium sixty enough to make eleven missiles. 197 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: And eleven bombs, not eleven missiles. 198 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 7: But yeah, well, oh what's the differ. 199 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: I mean, well, you got to put the warhead on 200 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: the missile. The idea is the missiles the delivery system obviously, 201 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: and the warhead is what's delivered. So you get you 202 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: can have warheads if you can't deliver them, they don't 203 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: do you much good. And you can have missiles, but 204 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: if you don't have warheads. So yeah, no, it looked 205 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 2: to me like this said to me that they were 206 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: getting closer and closer. I thought that that was very interesting. 207 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: And I'm not even sure that our intelligence services knew 208 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 2: that they had missiles with that that that throw throw distance. 209 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, who's been saying it, but nobody listens. So 210 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 7: every uh So the other thing too, is you know 211 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 7: what's left of the leadership also said they were going 212 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 7: to go around the world and attacking tourists, attractions, going 213 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 7: after civilians. So so we basically seeing them admit that 214 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 7: they are a terrorist state. I mean, the last the 215 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 7: regime at its best, you know, with their with the 216 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 7: best people in charge. We're a little more careful with 217 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 7: their their wording. But you know what, what I'm what 218 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 7: I'm saying is a two to four week estimate by Trump. 219 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 9: I don't care if it goes over, if the objectives 220 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 9: have met and the Americans, you know, aren't losing their 221 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 9: lives are I agree with that, you know, but I 222 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 9: think this was an eye opener for a lot of 223 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 9: the European nations. 224 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 7: This this is an absolute threat. Uh, this this regime 225 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 7: at this point, they're admitting their terrorists and they're showing 226 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 7: us that they can hit almost every European capital. 227 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, that was the thing that through the weekend 228 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: struck me as most important. It was like, when I 229 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: saw that story, it was like, whoa, this is not 230 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: you know, some company, some country that has a few 231 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: little warheads and they can't get those warheads that they 232 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: can't put them up on a plane. They got us, 233 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: you know, and obviously Israel has been terrified about that. 234 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: I don't think they have the bomb yet because if 235 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: I think if they had it, they would have used it. 236 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 7: All right, I agree, I think they were well on 237 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 7: the way. But to answer your question, from what I heard, 238 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 7: I believe the White House said they were speaking to 239 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 7: Iran through Turkey. 240 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: Okay, that could be too Ernigan as somebody who has 241 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: maintained some relationships with them as a neighbor. You're right, 242 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: i'd heard Pakistan, but you know, our government is keeping 243 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: it quiet. I get it, but I just don't understand. 244 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes I have a trouble getting through on 245 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: a cell phone to somebody. How they can Obviously, I 246 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: don't think Kirshner and Witkoff are sitting face to face 247 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: as they were a couple of weeks ago with Iranian representatives, 248 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: So they got to be doing it by the by phone. 249 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: How do they know who they're talking to? 250 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 6: I know? 251 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 7: Well, the weird thing about Trump is he's, yeah, he's 252 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 7: got terrible utterances, Like he just says things that he 253 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 7: that it is on his mind that he should just 254 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 7: bite his tongue. You know, I get that, But he's got. 255 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 7: At the same time, he strangely has pretty good political instincts. Well, 256 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 7: it's ribs. 257 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 6: The statements are well, he. 258 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 2: Knew in twenty sixteen that the country was ready for 259 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: a change and that he might have embodied that change 260 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: when he got elected the first time. And he also 261 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: knew that he was able to come back in twenty 262 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: twenty four and be re elected. Only the second time 263 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: that a president who had been defeated came back and 264 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: was elected. I think Grover Cleveland was the only one. 265 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: Benjamin Harrison was between. It was the Joe Biden of 266 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: the day. But yeah, but at the same time, I 267 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 2: just think when you say that something like that about Muller. Now, 268 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 2: I know Muller turned out to be an enemy of 269 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: his I get it, I get it. 270 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 7: But you know Muller, well I would I would have 271 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 7: advised him just to keep his mouth shut. 272 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: Of course, I'm not saying yet to cry crocodile tears, 273 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: but but Maller still, when he released his reports, uh, 274 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: you know, the president said, well, well this proves that 275 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 2: I was innocent. Nothing tends to prove people are innocent, 276 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 2: I mean, and Maller said that he could not find evidence, 277 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: and Muller did. He was wounded in Vietnam. He served 278 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: the country in a number of capacities. He wasn't my 279 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 2: favorite FBI director. He he was involved in Boston a 280 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: little bit around the time that Bulger and Flemy were 281 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: running amuck in Boston, so he had a bespectacled record. 282 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: But I just think it's. 283 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 7: You know, uh, you know, but he knew, he knew 284 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 7: it was a hoax. I mean, best on the guy 285 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 7: walked into the Trump Tower, and that's the lap of 286 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 7: on itself, that they're going to secretly meet with the 287 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 7: Russians in the celebrated Trump Tower in front of what 288 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 7: has to be fifteen or eighteen reporters looking for a 289 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 7: story as Trump's running for president. 290 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, that's been true. I mean, that has 291 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: been pretty much what I shouldn't say. It's been totally debunked, 292 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 2: you know. 293 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, So, and that's what I mean. I think, you know, 294 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 7: he feels the guy was trying and I'm a thirty 295 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 7: four people arrested in this whole thing. You know, they've 296 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 7: lost their liberty because alcohol. 297 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: I just don't want to litigate it because I think 298 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's ancient his not ancient history. Yeah, 299 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: that's all. It's like, I don't care. If you have 300 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: a guy on your street who you just despise and 301 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 2: he dies, and and and someone said, who do you 302 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: think about? You know so and so just died.

You know, we all come ahead 308 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 7: of boss. 309 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: He's a New Yorker.

Does Donald Trump 337 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 10: have stewardship? 338 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: Ha ha ha. 339 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 10: That's what God said, The humans are supposed to be 340 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 10: stewards of the earth, right right. 341 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: But. 342 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 10: That we can get you to America. 343 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: Can we get you to talk on the topic of 344 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: the president's stewardship of the earth? Okay, good luck? Good luck? 345 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: I mean I really try with David, I really try. 346 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: I know where he's going I know he's going, but 347 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: guess what, I'm not going there with him. I want 348 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: to know, are we close? George had dropped off, and 349 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: George is called back and George holds his place in line. George, 350 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 2: you were next on NIGHTSAGA. Right ahead, George, he did. 351 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 5: How you doing a wrong time? No talk? 352 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: That's okay. Nice to hear your voice, particularly after said Francisco. 353 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: Go ahead, George. 354 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've missed of this whole situation. The work's gotten nuts. 355 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 5: For one. Yeah, I'm a Trump supporter. I always have been. 356 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 5: I'm just starting to figure out what the end game was. 357 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 5: And uh, the company I work for, we are still 358 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 5: driving trucks and whatever, and the fuel prices are gonna 359 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 5: get to the point the party to cut back all 360 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 5: the trucks. We're gonna have a job and uh hurt everything. 361 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: Okay, that I don't understand. Stick with me for a second. 362 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 2: Let's assume the diesel prices have gone up, right, Yes, 363 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: I'm assuming. I'm assuming that the cost of the diesel 364 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 2: fuel for your truck will be passed on to the 365 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: customers whose product you're shipping, who in turn will pass 366 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: on the increase that they pay to the customers at 367 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 2: the grocery stores, at the retail outlets. Why would you 368 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 2: why would your guy take your trucks off the road. 369 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, we don't have that opportunity. We're 370 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 5: not delivering a good surress stores of what we all dirt, gravel, 371 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 5: aggregate products and does no search outs of adapt the nothing. 372 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 2: So when you when you load up with dirt or gravel, 373 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 2: you're taking into a company that is buying the dirt 374 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: or gravel from you. 375 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 5: I assume, well not buy it from us. We're delivering 376 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 5: for them. We're like a subcontract or trucking company. 377 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: Okay, so you're so you are delivering. You're delivering a 378 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 2: product to a building site for example. Okay, So I 379 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 2: assume that if the cost of you of your delivery 380 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: service increases, you're going to say to the person who 381 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 2: wants you to take the gravel from point A to 382 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 2: point B. I assume that a smart business would say, gee, 383 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but we can do that, but you're going 384 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 2: to pay a little bit of extra here because. 385 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 5: I'll give you a quicker gimp of how the cost is. 386 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 5: I've made three trips from Freetown today. They're down to hyenas. Okay, 387 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 5: I won't say who would do a report, doesn't matter 388 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 5: within their company. Yeah, four hundred dollars for fuel might 389 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 5: pay we're training the surt and all that comes of 390 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 5: three hundred the truck made and econ of dollars of 391 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 5: the day, the owner of the truck made one hundred dollars. 392 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 5: So the trucks ridiculous. Ridiculous with the way. 393 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is the owner of the truck 394 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: is the company you work for, right, Why wouldn't he 395 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 2: try it? Why don't they pass on the cost? I mean, 396 00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: you know, just to. 397 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 5: Keep a grip, well, you can't pass it on. You 398 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 5: got to pass it on. There we're hire those a 399 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 5: subcontracting truck a company. You don't own the material. We're 400 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 5: moving it for another agrega company. Then they set rates 401 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 5: by tanner by the hour. 402 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 2: But don't do those rates. I'm George, I'm learning from 403 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 2: you here. I'm trying to ask your questions. I understand sure, 404 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: if if you're moving again gravel or dirt from point 405 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: A to point B, someone is buying that gravel and 406 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: someone is making a profit. I assume on the sale 407 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: of that gravel and you're the you're the intermediary. You 408 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: have the truck, which they need. Without a truck, the 409 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: gravel doesn't get transported. I would just again, I assume 410 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 2: that those costs would be passed on and then maybe 411 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 2: the individual who has to pay the increased cost. That's 412 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 2: the way it works with with grocery stores and with 413 00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: no We're. 414 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 5: Dont understand that. But again it's a different animal during gravel. 415 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 5: Any of your aggregate products to jumping to holle for 416 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 5: they do large companies in the area at local Then 417 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 5: they give you a price per ton because we're doing 418 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 5: all today, eight eight dollars and eighty cents per ton. Yah, 419 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 5: each shruck. Wold it's like thirty six ton. Okay, so 420 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 5: you get three of them called one hundred ton to 421 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 5: ravel it off. Yeah yeah, sure, yeah, that's eight eight dollars, 422 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 5: four hundred dollars for fuel, three hundred dollars for me 423 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 5: the truck me hundred dollars use a tie you wrote, 424 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 5: five hundred Yeah. 425 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, if you do me a favor, if your 426 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: owner takes the truck, the trucks off the road, you know, 427 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from you. I hope he doesn't, 428 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,719 Speaker 2: I guess, want to keep you working. 429 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 5: I like to work too. I went to get I 430 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 5: probably work as a real good man. I've been there 431 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 5: five years for my dog this morning. Look, if this 432 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 5: truck isn't making money to make it worth while, leave 433 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 5: me off. I don't want to work for you not 434 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 5: making any money. 435 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 7: It's stupid. 436 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 2: Look, that's the way it works. That's the way it 437 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 2: works in our system, in our economic system. But I think, also, 438 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: and I think this is going to be temporary, George. 439 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 2: I hope it is, and I. 440 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 5: Hope I don't think it's gonna be as separate as 441 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: everyone thinks. I hope even I want my guys fight 442 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 5: all again. But behind tests well to take an a 443 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 5: bite out of the little man's pocket just for gas. 444 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do understand that, if I guess.

That's uncomfortable, but. 450 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 5: I got it. One one more quick question for you. 451 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 5: Let you go, because I know the call. 452 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: Look before you ask that.

I mean, I hope 465 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 2: that they they they game planned this out and they 466 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 2: and they wore gamed it out so that they said, Okay, 467 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: if we do this, they're likely to do this, then 468 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 2: we got to do you know. But what's your final 469 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: question of comment? 470 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 5: Uh?

If you want to call into 506 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: question what Trump's I'm trying to figure out is this 507 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: the real negotiations or is someone pranking him? He's he 508 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 2: put himself on the line there to say that we're 509 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: having serious negotiations delayed hitting the infrastructure for five days, 510 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: which is fine because that would really cause problems for 511 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 2: whoever's going to inherit this government. Your thoughts, your idea 512 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: is you're back on Nightside six one seven, two, five 513 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty. 514 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: Right after this, you're on night Side with Dan Ray 515 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: on you Bzy Boston's News Radio. 516 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 2: Let's go to Susan and Cambridge. Susan next time, nights. 517 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 2: I appreciate your patience. Go right ahead, Susan. 518 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 11: Hi, how you doing excellent? Can we just quickly set 519 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 11: the record straight on mister Muller, which is that he 520 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 11: didn't hire himself. So if anybody's mad, you know, they 521 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 11: should be mad at Ron Berzenstein, who, by the way, 522 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 11: was a Republican who appointed him, but probably as. 523 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: A Republican really didn't like Trump. But but we don't 524 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 2: need This is all Asian history as far as I'm concerned. 525 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 2: I was criticizing Trump for what I consider to be 526 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 2: his inappropriate comments about the passing of Mueller. 527 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 11: Right, I get that, But I just when you were 528 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 11: having conversation with a prior caller, I just heard some 529 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 11: things that just didn't sound right. So in any event, 530 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 11: with regard to being self sufficient wise, all that means 531 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 11: is that we export more than we import. It doesn't 532 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 11: mean that the nice American oil companies are going to 533 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 11: just sell to Americans because you know, we don't want 534 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 11: our oil prices to be or our gas price No, no. 535 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: No, it's a fungible commodity. I get that. What I'm 536 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 2: saying is that if the world cut us off tomorrow, 537 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 2: if for some reason, in some hypothetical the world cut 538 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 2: us off, we have enough oil for ourselves. 539 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 11: If you nationalize the oil company, sure, well, anyway. 540 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 2: I'm trying to make there are Switzerland doesn't doesn't pump 541 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 2: a lot of oil in those Alps. We pumped. We 542 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: got a lot of places to pump oil. That's all 543 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 2: I'm trying to. 544 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 11: Say, right right, So, I can't believe you're naive enough 545 00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 11: to think that that Trump is telling the truth about 546 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 11: having talks. I think he's totally blowing smoke. And I 547 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 11: mean just last week he was saying, you know, we 548 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 11: want to talk to people, but you know we can't. 549 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 11: You know, they're they're all dead. And then the market 550 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 11: right when the market's open today. 551 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, what I do is I raise issues for people 552 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 2: to talk about. Okay, I'm hoping that somehow, some way, 553 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: through a third party intermediary be it Pakistan or Ortigon 554 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: in uh Turkey, that maybe there's some backchannel conversations, but 555 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 2: I have no way of knowing that, and I don't 556 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: know how he is any way of knowing that. So 557 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 2: I'm not naive, Susan. 558 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 11: There might be something back channel, but I doubt they're 559 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 11: you know, they're leading to anything right now, anything of note. 560 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 11: And it's interesting that you know he made the announcement 561 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 11: right when the markets, you know, we're opening and it's 562 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 11: five days. So oh, all five days of the week 563 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 11: that you know the stock market is open. You know 564 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 11: he's going to wait on attacking him market. 565 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: We'll go up five days in a row unless there's 566 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 2: some further in disha of that. 567 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 11: In my opinion, Yeah, but it also won't probably won't. 568 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 11: You know, tank tremendously either, Well, I don't know. 569 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: It was down quite a bit. It was down a 570 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 2: good five to six percent, and. 571 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 11: They were every day there were new developments with infrastructure 572 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 11: being destroyed and such, which is why prices you know, 573 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 11: are not going to come down quickly because a lot 574 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 11: of infrastructure in the Middle East is getting energy, infrastructure 575 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 11: is getting destroyed, and it's going to take time to 576 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 11: build that back. 577 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 2: So you know what, if I'm going to ask you 578 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 2: the ultimate question, and I'm going to ask you to 579 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: address it directly if you can, if you if you're 580 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: willing to. I don't know what the price will be 581 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 2: for this, I mean, how much money we're going to 582 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 2: spend with the military, how much money we're going to 583 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 2: pay an increased gasole prices. But if let us say 584 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 2: at some point within a reasonable period of time, and 585 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 2: you can define reasonable and whatever way you want, we 586 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 2: find that the people of Iran are able to overtake 587 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 2: this theocratic dictatorship which hangs nineteen year old wrestlers. 588 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 11: Uhm, When was the last time Iran had a working democracy? 589 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 2: I don't know that they've really ever had a democracy 590 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 2: by our standards. But my question is simply this, how 591 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 2: much would would you be how much inconvenience would you 592 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: be willing to undergo? And this is a question for 593 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 2: everyone in order for Iran, the Iranian people to self 594 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 2: govern themselves in some form of fashion, maybe not in 595 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 2: an American republic type of democracy, but and and also 596 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 2: to take these nut job I had told us off 597 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 2: the world stage as an nuclear power. 598 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 11: So I'm going to make a comparison to Venezuela. We 599 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 11: went in there, we got rid of Maduro, but rather 600 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 11: than putting in the democratically elected leader, who you know, 601 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 11: has a Nobel prize, has a lot of support, but 602 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 11: not a job to do that it is up to 603 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 11: the The Trump administration decided that they wanted to continue 604 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 11: to deal with Maduro's VP because they said that and 605 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 11: you know who's electist. 606 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 2: So if we if we if we said the C 607 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 2: I A and the and we we prop up someone. 608 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 2: I think the I think that the Nobel Prize when 609 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: in the shadow, is probably going to run for president 610 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 2: of Venezuela and if they have elections, I asked you 611 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 2: a question. I don't want you don't want to gain 612 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 2: my thought. 613 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 11: Let me finish my thought, which is they decided that 614 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 11: that the person who is CP had well, actually they 615 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 11: decided that the person who was elected Mashado did not 616 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 11: have enough levers of power to run the country. Someone 617 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 11: who this time right, right, So this is someone who 618 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 11: is democratically elected, who clearly has a lot of people 619 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 11: behind her. Okay, So do that comparison to Iran? Is 620 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 11: there anybody on the landscape who has, you know, even 621 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 11: as much support as she did. 622 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,800 Speaker 10: I don't know. 623 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 7: I don't know there is. 624 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 2: I don't know, Susan. I want to I want to 625 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 2: give an opportunity. I don't know why.

I want to get these nut 630 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 2: jobs off the world nuclear stage. I don't want them 631 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 2: dropping a bomb on Israel, or on or on Berlin. 632 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 11: The problem is they have no It's like Iraq. They 633 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 11: have no experience with democracy. They don't have a party there. 634 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 2: No, they're not as smart as we are. Hey. 635 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 11: No, no, they're not as smart. They just don't have. 636 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 2: Experience with democracy. Is to is to run it.
