1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio. 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,120 Speaker 2: Boy, So we are eleven days into epic fury, and 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: all of a sudden you realize that a lot of 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 2: people here are being inconvenienced by what's going on over there. Now, 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 2: this has nothing to do with Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen, 6 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: And if you want to make it about Donald Trump, 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: you're making a mistake on this. This has everything to 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: do with this rogue theocracy, totalitarian dictatorship, whatever you want, 9 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: that has royaled the Middle East for decades. Ever since 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: Ayatola Homini returned in nineteen seventy nine, they have given 11 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: us nothing but problems. There are a lot of American soldiers, Gis. 12 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: You could argue about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, 13 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: and I'm going to agree with you. Probably it was well. 14 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: I will agree with you, it should have been over. 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: It was twenty years, twenty years, and a lot of 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: people lost their lives, and a lot of them we 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: can trace their deaths, young Americans to this regime in Iran. 18 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: The regime in Iran is it's an evil, evil government. 19 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: There's just no other way to describe it. You have 20 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: these two teenagers from Pennsylvania who apparently spent more time 21 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: traveling in the Middle East East than anyone probably in 22 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: this audience, who through the explosives in New York on 23 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon near Gracie Mansion, where the Mayor of New 24 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: York lives. So we have this is something. By the way, 25 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: I have to mention CNN have been roldly criticized for this. 26 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: They they put up I guess a post on Saturday. 27 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: It wasn't Sunday, my mistake, it was Saturday. This is 28 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: what CNN wrote about these two nut jobs. A mere 29 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: Ballot of Long Langhorn, Pennsylvania and nineteen year old Ibraham 30 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: Kayumi of Newtown traveled from Bucks County in Pennsylvania to 31 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: Manhattan on Saturday. Bucks County is a pretty nice part 32 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: of the state. By the way, I suspect that these 33 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: kids probably came from They didn't come from poverty if 34 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: they lived in Bucks County. Here's what CNN wrote. Two 35 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City City Saturday morning 36 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: for what could have been a normal day, enjoying the 37 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 2: city during abnormally warm weather, But in less than an hour, 38 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: their lives would dramatically change as the pair would be 39 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti Muslim protest 40 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: outside of Maya Zoran Mamdani's home. Here's what we know 41 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: so far. Well, they have been excoriated for that post, 42 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: and rightfully so. These guys pledged their loyalty to ISIS. 43 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: They were there. There were a bunch of right wing 44 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: crazies who are demonstrating outside of Gracie Mansion, and these 45 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: guys came with these explosives. They told police, at least 46 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: that's what the federal indictment says, that they wanted to 47 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: kill more people than were killed at the marathon bombing 48 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: in Boston. But CNN pictured them as these two kids 49 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: who had come in from Pennsylvania to see the big 50 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: city teenagers, that's all. And all of a sudden they 51 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: got caught up in something and they had a couple 52 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: of bombs, two or three or four or five bombs 53 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 2: that they wanted a whip into the crowd, and now 54 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: their lives have changed forever. Would drastically change as the 55 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: peer would be arrested ISIS supporters. Anyway, there are a 56 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: lot of Americans right now, me included, who were looking 57 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: at gas prices and oil prices and saying, whoa this is? 58 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: This might get expensive. We are eleven days into the war. Okay, 59 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: we are eleven days into the war, and from everything 60 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: that we have heard, Iran is in tough shape. Okay. 61 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: Now most of their leadership was killed in the first day, 62 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: Israeli intelligence, US air strike, US intelligence, Israeli airstrikes. Whatever. 63 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: We're basically trying to clean up the Middle East because 64 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: the big problem with it, the cancer of the Middle East, 65 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: is the regime in Iran. We now have the sun 66 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: of the guy who was killed a week ago on 67 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: Saturday morning. He's in charge. God knows what the over 68 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: under is on his demise. If he's smart, he will 69 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: announce the surrender and say, look, we have seen the light. 70 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: We have seen lots of lights, and we're ready now 71 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: to behave ourselves and rejoin the nations of the world. 72 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to do that because they 73 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: are terrorists. They are theocratic dictators. I mean, it would 74 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: be like it would be as if the Pope was 75 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: the president of the United States and as opposed to 76 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: being the pope and talking about people living in peace 77 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: and harmony, and all of that, he was threatening people 78 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: with nuclear weapons. Think about it, Just think about it anyway. 79 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: Let's assume we do pay an increase in gas prices 80 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: for the next couple of weeks, maybe the next few weeks. 81 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: But Iran is off the stage as a nuclear player. 82 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: Israel can establish relations with countries like Saudi Arabia, you 83 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: might actually have some peace in the Middle East. You'll 84 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: always have the nut jobs running around over there. Okay, 85 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: we're not going to be able to get them all, 86 00:05:53,640 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: but it may be literally a transformational moment favorite word 87 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: recently for the Middle East. Again, Donald Trump leaves a 88 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: lot to be desired as a human being, as a person, 89 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: all of that. Okay, I get it, I get it. 90 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: But you have to be able to step back and say, 91 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: is what's going on over there something that is going 92 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: to be good for humanity in the long run. People 93 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 2: in this country during World War Two suffered immensely while 94 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: American soldiers fought two wars, one in Asia, another in 95 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 2: Europe and Africa, and out of those wars came good 96 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: twenty years of American dominance. If this results in Iran 97 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: never having a nuclear weapon to threaten their neighbors, their 98 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: Arab neighbors and Israel. This would be well worth the 99 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: effort we need to grieve the loss of American soldiers. 100 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: Today it was announced that one hundred and forty have 101 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: been injured, some of them quite seriously. There may be 102 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: more deaths involved here, but it would seem to me 103 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: that militarily this has been carried out pretty well. This 104 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: is General Dan Kin. He's the Chairman of the Joint 105 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: Chiefs of Staff, and he had a couple of comments 106 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: early this morning. I want to play a couple and 107 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: then we'll go to phone calls. We're going to go 108 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: to General Kin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 109 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: This is Cut twenty three. This is him this morning 110 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: in a news conference. Cut twenty three, gentlemen. 111 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: Since our last updates, SANCOM continues to make progress across 112 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: the southern flank. To date, they've struck more than five 113 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: thousand targets. US Strategic Command bombers recently dropped dozens of 114 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: two thousand pounds GPS penetrating weapons on deeply buried missile 115 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: launchers across the southern flank. We also have struck several 116 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: one way drone factories to get at the heart of 117 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: their autonomous capability, and of course, alongside our regional partners 118 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: along the southern flank, continue to execute intercepts against one 119 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: way attack drones using fighters and attack helicopters. Our strikes 120 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: mean we've made significant progress in reducing the number of 121 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: missile and drone attacks out of Iran. Ballistic missile attacks 122 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: continue to trend downward ninety percent from where they've started, 123 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: and one way attack drone have decreased eighty three percent 124 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: since the part beginning of the operation, a testament to 125 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: our air defenders and our air defense systems, and as 126 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 3: I said, our partners in the region continued to do 127 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: great work as well. Fifty elecond we're making substantial progress 128 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 3: towards destroying the navy. In the first ten days of 129 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: the conflict, were more than fifty Iranian naval ships into 130 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 3: the campaign using a combination of our tilly fighters, bombers 131 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: and sea launch missiles. 132 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 2: Fifty vessels in eleven days. That's pretty good pace. The 133 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: Secretary of War Pete Hegstath in Cut twenty one made 134 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 2: these comments Cut twenty one, Please. 135 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: For forty seven years, these barbaric savages in the Iranian 136 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 4: regime have murdered our brothers in arms, my guys, your guys, 137 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: our guys. 138 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 5: Through their terrorist proxies and cowardly attacks. Now they race 139 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 5: toward a nuclear bomb to hold the world hostage. The 140 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 5: Iranians have targeted and killed thousands of my American brothers 141 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 5: that race to a nuclear bomb. President Trump will never 142 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 5: allow it, not now, not ever, not on our watch. 143 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: Hank Seth was a combat petron, the Secretary of War, 144 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: Princeton graduate, also went I think to the Kennedy School. 145 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: So a pretty smart guy, uh and someone who seems 146 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: to me. I know he's been criticized for a number 147 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: of things over time, but I think his conduct and 148 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: his demeanor during this attack on a run has been 149 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: commendable in my opinion, And you can disagree with that 150 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: if you like. The only lines that are open right 151 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: now are six, one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. Again. Yeah, 152 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: gas prices might be up for a couple of weeks, okay, 153 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: And if that's all in the inconvenience that you and 154 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: I suffer, we should count our blessings, in my opinion, 155 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: particularly when you realize what is at stake here. I 156 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: hope that this administration is totally successful in eliminating this 157 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: rogue regime, this group of theocratic dictators who killed their 158 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: own people thirty two thousand, who basically threw gay people 159 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: off roofs of buildings in in Tehran to make examples 160 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: of them. These are people who do not deserve to 161 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: share the earth with human beings. Back on Nightside, right 162 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: after this. 163 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. 164 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: Back to the calls. Let's get right to the calls, 165 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: Joel and Nata k Joel, welcome back. How are you, sir? 166 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 6: I'm fine. How are you going? Dan? 167 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: I'm putting it out there tonight. Joe, you agree to disagree. 168 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 6: First, let me tell you one thing. The mayor of 169 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 6: New York called the terrorists white supremacists. 170 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: Well what he said was let me correct you on that, okay, 171 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 2: And I don't want to be in a position of 172 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: defending Mamdani. But what he said was that there was 173 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 2: a demonstration of white supremacist There's apparently a guy who's 174 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: fairly well known who was having an anti Muslim demonstration 175 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: outside your Gracie mansion, and somehow, I guess it was 176 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: fairly well publicized. And these kids, uh, these they I 177 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: shouldn't call them kids. These terrorists from Pennsylvania decided to 178 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 2: go and counter protest. One thing to counter protest is fine, 179 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: but to counter protest by throwing bombs with which if 180 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: those bombs had exploded, there would they they would nails 181 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: and screws and bolts in the in the weapons they 182 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: would have, you would have killed people and named many people. 183 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: So what Madonmie did was he talked initially about the 184 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: I watched the news conference and he walked. He talked 185 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: about there was a demonstration of Again he would have 186 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: called them, I guess white supremacists because they were criticizing 187 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: New York having a mayor who was Muslim, and but 188 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: he did say they came and they demonstrated peacefully, and 189 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: then he did talk about these two other individuals and 190 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: Mamdani I believe acknowledged that their motivation was their royalty 191 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: to Isis Dan. Yes, right ahead. 192 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 6: Okay, so now about gas prices. How about how about 193 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 6: they reduce the state the state gas tax when the 194 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 6: prices go up, and I increase the state gas tax 195 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 6: when the prices go down. 196 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, or just bring them back to where they are. 197 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 2: I don't think they can increase them without the legislature 198 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: supporting it. I think Brian Shortsleeve, who along with Mike Kanneely, 199 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: will be our guest tomorrow night at eight o'clock talking 200 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: about the Republican race for the gubernatorial nomination, he's already suggested. 201 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: I think Mike Kenneely might have suggested that as well. 202 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: Make it a little more tolerable. But look, if in 203 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: the short term, if in the short term there is 204 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 2: an increase that costs you and me a few bucks, 205 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: twenty bucks, fifty bucks, I think most of us can 206 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: handle that if the result is the removal of the 207 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: nuclear threat that Iron has held, like the sort of 208 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: damocles over the head of the world and specifically Israel 209 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: for decades. 210 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 6: And one more thing. Last week I saved seventy two 211 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 6: cents off a down of gas. 212 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 2: Okay, hey, how'd you do that? 213 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 6: Well? First of all, if you get shop, stop and shop, 214 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 6: everye hundred points that you get stopping shop, it gives 215 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 6: you ten cents off to a down of gas its shelf, 216 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 6: all right. And number two, they now have a new 217 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 6: thing out. It's called NASCAR racing on Sundays. Apparently there's 218 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 6: a racer named Joey LAGONEI he has he races car 219 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 6: number twenty two, and he races on Sundays. So if 220 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 6: you buy your gas on Sunday when the NASCAR is racing, 221 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 6: you get an additional twenty two cents off per gallon. 222 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: I didn't know that that's good. That's good to know. 223 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 2: I assumed that the someone must refund that to you. 224 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: I assume that the price you pay at the gallon 225 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: at the pump is fixed, right, And but you get 226 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: you get what a rebate? 227 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 6: No, don't get a rebate. Your the price on the 228 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 6: on the on the the price shows up on the counter. 229 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 6: So like, okay, instead of paying three dollars nineteen cents, 230 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 6: I paid two forty forty seven cents, right, Good for you. 231 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: Joe, Good for you. All right, Joel is always great 232 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: to hear your voice. Thanks my friend.

I don't I know, 244 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 7: not all of them are, but you know, the ones 245 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 7: that are, they just have to stop this. I don't 246 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 7: know whether they understand this or not, but you know 247 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 7: the sacrifices that people put together, this this country put 248 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 7: in the during w W two rationing. Uh, they were 249 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 7: lucky to get gas, forget the price. They were just 250 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 7: lucky to get gas. They were lucky to get tires. 251 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 7: They were they were they were rationed with food, you know. Uh, 252 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 7: you know, so for to to wind about gas prices, 253 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 7: it's insane. We need to support our military, all right. 254 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 7: This is a very dangerous job they're doing. A lot 255 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 7: of presidents have kicked this thing down. They kicked this 256 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 7: can down the road for decades. It would have been 257 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 7: a little bit easier, but but this is a this 258 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 7: is a tough, tough job, and we got to stop. 259 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 7: You know, this is absolutely insane. I'm really uh, I'm 260 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 7: really uh. I can't say what I want't really want to. 261 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: Look. You and I are both probably old enough to remember, 262 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 2: at least I'm older to remember when Jimmy Carter tried 263 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: to have a rescue operation to get the hostages, the 264 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: American diplomatic people who were being held hostage back in 265 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: seventy nine and early nineteen eighty. He sent this flate 266 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: of helicopters, which many of them some of them crashed 267 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: in the desert, and it was a complete embarrassment. It 268 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: just didn't work. This was in the post Watergate era, 269 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: in the post Vietnam era, when the military probably had 270 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 2: fallen into a lot of disappear and there were American 271 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: soldiers who died in that failed operation, and the Iranians 272 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: were thrilled that we had sent men and women on 273 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: a mission that that resulted in failure. Yeah, but yeah, 274 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 2: you're right, I mean World War two. I mean it 275 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: go back to the revolution. We're going to celebrate the 276 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary this year of the deck 277 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: ration of Independence, when those you know, great founders of 278 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: the of the country, they put their lives and and 279 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: their their treasure and and everything online. I mean, if 280 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: if the if, the if the Continental Army had not 281 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 2: succeeded in beating the greatest military power of the world 282 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 2: at the time, Britain a one of those guys would 283 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: have hung by their neck until they were dead. 284 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 7: You know, Dan, You know, I was in the CBS 285 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 7: during the Vietnam War. I didn't go to Vietnam, fortunately 286 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 7: I did not go there, but I was in the 287 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 7: I was in the error. But I mean I went 288 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 7: in before they had the just before they had the lottery. 289 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 7: But I mean I would have been drafted if I 290 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 7: did not join, you know. And uh and so you know, 291 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 7: there's a lot of people that never you know, if 292 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 7: they if they ever brought the draft back, that they 293 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 7: would be freaking out, all right. But that's that's what 294 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 7: we had to put up with. So I don't think. 295 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think the military leadership and 296 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 2: this country wants the draft. 297 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 7: At this point, it never would happen. No, no, no, 298 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 7: no no. But anyway, you're doing a good job, Dan, 299 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 7: and you know, keep up to keep up well, Bob. 300 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I'm sure not everyone agrees with us, 301 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: and they're welcome to call as well. But I just 302 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 2: think that, look, we're all of us have these things 303 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: that occur in our lives. You know, family members pass, 304 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: It's life. And you know, I can remember the oil 305 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 2: embargoes of the late seventies when there were gas lines 306 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: you couldn't get never mind, and you would sit there 307 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,479 Speaker 2: and wait for hours in order to get you know, 308 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 2: ten dollars worth of gas or fifteen dollars worth of gas. 309 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 2: And I just think that we as a country have 310 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: to realize that, hey, you know, maybe we got to 311 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: go through a little discomfort here. Maybe it's going to 312 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 2: have to cost us a little bit more. Maybe, you know, 313 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 2: maybe instead of going out to dinner twice this weekend, 314 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: we go out to dinner once and we cook at 315 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: home because we're a little short of on money. But 316 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 2: the long run here is if if somehow Iran is 317 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: off the stage as a nuclear player in the Middle 318 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 2: East and is newted militarily, which I think is happening 319 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 2: even as we speak, it is what a gift that 320 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 2: is to the world, to the world. 321 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 7: To very historic, very historic event.

I know George Washington was president. 407 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: I wasn't around when Abe Lincoln was president, but that's 408 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: part of our history. 409 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 8: Well, you know, this guy's doing some interesting things. And 410 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 8: all I'm going to say is, twenty years in Afghanistan, 411 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 8: did we not learn a Listen, no one wants to see. 412 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 8: I will look at it this way.

They're 414 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 8: not going worldwide. Like you said, they got a bunch 415 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 8: of crazy radicals over there and Iran. I absolutely agree 416 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 8: with you. So that's said, it's about religion. Do you 417 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 8: think they hate us over here? We can bomb you 418 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 8: don't think there's going to be an uprising with the 419 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 8: next generation, and it's not going to be good. 420 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: No. Actually, to be honest with you, To be honest 421 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 2: with you, are you familiar with the Green Revolution in 422 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 2: twenty ten in Iran? 423 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 8: The Green not totally. 424 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 2: Well, that's okay, let me tell you what. Let me 425 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 2: just tell you what happened. There was an effort by 426 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 2: primarily young women at the time who were rebelling against 427 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: the idea that they could not dress the way they 428 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 2: wanted to in public. And I want people who were 429 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: shot and killed in that. You know that earlier this 430 00:25:55,040 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 2: year and in January and February there were riots in 431 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: Tehran and there were thirty two thousand people that the 432 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 2: administration in Iran killed. Now we can look at that 433 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 2: and we can say, okay, that's not our front. We 434 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: could do that, and we could and you know, I 435 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 2: could be comfortable with what you're saying. But at the 436 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: same time, this administration, meaning not the Trump administration, but 437 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: the this theocratic dictatorship in Iran, they wanted a nuclear 438 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: weapon and they wanted to use it on Israel or 439 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: if they had could on the United States. And they 440 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 2: we had negotiations in which we offered Iran we would 441 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: give them all that they needed for peaceful development of 442 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 2: the use of nuclear power, and they turned it down. 443 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 2: They said, no, we want we want nuclear weapons. 444 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 8: I know they are. But you think this is going 445 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 8: to end. I don't think it's going to Well I hope, 446 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 8: I hope. 447 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: I hope you're wrong, and I hope probably down deep 448 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 2: you hope that you're wrong too. I understand your position. 449 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: I don't agree with it, but I think it's a 450 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: reasonable position. And after the twenty year War, that that 451 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 2: that encompassed eight years of Bush, eight years of President Obama, 452 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 2: eight years four years of Donald Trump, and four years 453 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: well two years of of Biden and that horrific debacle 454 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: of a departure. 455 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 8: But whatever, No, no, no, but I'm saying it. 456 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 2: Was twenty two years and we were we were responding 457 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: to what happened as I'm sure you know, we were 458 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 2: responding to what happened in nine to eleven. And I 459 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 2: think that if it. 460 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 8: Didn't solve anything, but go ahead, Well you know, you 461 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 8: woman rights for twenty years and now it's and it's 462 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 8: going to be the same thing. But I'm going to 463 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 8: ask you, Nan, what's still done with Russia? Why don't 464 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 8: we solve the Ukraine thing in Well, they. 465 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: Say, just skip it around to me.

If you don't, 470 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 2: I'll be happy to tell you not exactly. These agreements 471 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 2: that were reached between Israel and a number of the 472 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: smaller Arab nations. And it's possible that out of this 473 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia may actually establish diplomatic relations with Israel and 474 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: Israel with with Saudi Arabia, which would change dramatically the 475 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: Middle East.

I hope that 489 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: you know, despite the fact that you're never going to 490 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: like Donald Trump, that you might say, at that moment, 491 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: you did the right thing. That's all. 492 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 8: Well, I will, I will admit to that. Listen, every president. 493 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 8: I look at Biden, I said, if he just fixed immigration, 494 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 8: the man in the rest of the world dealt with COVID. 495 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 8: That's why the prices where they were. What I don't 496 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 8: like about Trump, I can take gas prices a little bit. 497 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 8: He lies about everything from day one. I just but 498 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 8: good luck to our troops and I'll call you back then. 499 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 2: I hope you do.

I always give a little 502 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: extra time to people who disagree with me reasonably what 503 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: Sheendrea did. If you want to disagree recently, we can 504 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 2: have a conversation.

Eddie is in Medford. Eddie, 514 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 2: You're next on the Nightside. 515 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 10: Welcome, Hello, Danny. I do understand your sentiment. Then a 516 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 10: lot of people agree with you that paying hire gas 517 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 10: prices is a small sacrifice on our part. No, I 518 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 10: wouldn't mind, and I'm sure many other people wouldn't if 519 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 10: those price increases were actually going to the war effort, 520 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 10: which did not. We got guys at the pump that 521 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 10: hasn't even been used. Uh and in the price goes 522 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 10: up overnight or even in the in the in the 523 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 10: same day. 524 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 2: So true, your a lot of that is dealing with 525 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 2: you know, you're absolutely right on that. And there are 526 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 2: there are analogies that I could I could point out 527 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 2: for you when when when the Patriots draft some number 528 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 2: one draft pick and they give him one hundred million 529 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: dollar contract and he turns out to be a total bust. 530 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: You know, it's it's the anticipation of the of how 531 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: good that guy will be playing for the Patriots at 532 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: the same way here. It's the anticipation how bad is 533 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: the economy going to be? How high will gas prices be, 534 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 2: you know, going going forward? So yeah, you're you're right. 535 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 10: But imagine if they milk, you know, how. 536 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: Well there will be there will be mean when the 537 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: when gas goes up, diesel goes up, there's gonna be 538 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: there's gonna be an increase in groceries as well. It's 539 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 2: going to be more than gas prices. But all I'm 540 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 2: just saying is that, look, no one likes. I don't like. 541 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: I do not go to the gas station. And if 542 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 2: when I go to see my friend Gary at the 543 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: gas station at Patriot Petroleum, I don't say, you know, Gary, 544 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 2: you're only charging me two ninety nine. I want to 545 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: pay you for dollars a gallon. You know, I mean, 546 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 2: none of us are happy about this, but I don't 547 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: think people in World War Two when they were when 548 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 2: food was rationed, and you know, I mean there was 549 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 2: a lot of sacrifice that that went on in World 550 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 2: War Two. And if that sacrifice had been in Vain, 551 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 2: you and I probably would have grown up speaking German, 552 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 2: if you get my drift. But I'm glad. I'm glad 553 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: you called and made the Eddie. This is your first time. 554 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever had you as a caller before. 555 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 10: We've talked to her, but I've been in different parts 556 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 10: of town. 557 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, Okay, well, I'm glad you called. And uh, 558 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 2: how long do you think this is gonna go on? What? 559 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you see in your 560 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: crystal ball? 561 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 10: It needs to go on for as long as necessary. There, 562 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 10: I'm gonna tell you a name, Atifa sah Charlene. This 563 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 10: is one of the many uh Iranian women that were 564 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 10: sacrificed by this regime. Uh, just for the sake of 565 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 10: her trying to live her life. Uh. And she was 566 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 10: killed by the regime. So so, so the one needs 567 00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 10: to go on for as long as necessary. 568 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 2: Well, if we can, if we can get if we 569 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 2: can basically get these guys out of power, these these clerics, 570 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: these fundamentalist theocrats, and the Iranian people can take control 571 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 2: of their own country, I'd be very happy for the I. 572 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 10: That's right, and I think that I agree absolutely, Eddie. 573 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 2: I appreciate your call, and please become a regular Okay, 574 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 2: thank you so much, Thanks my friend.

And I hope it sends a message to 584 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 9: the rest of these kids, this is not cool. I mean, 585 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 9: I am just so disheartened with some of your callers 586 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 9: and inconvenience because your gas went up a little bit. 587 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 9: Did they not understand what is going on in the world. 588 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 9: I just am so like, have we become such a 589 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 9: spoiled nation that a little inconvenience for us can turn 590 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 9: a blind eye to what's going on? Well, these are 591 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 9: the same people that would do concerts, save the world 592 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 9: and everything, but when it comes to their inconvenience. 593 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 2: Nope, yeah, no, I understand what you're saying. At the 594 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 2: same time, I think that for example, when my friend 595 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 2: Andrea was calling, we did get bobbed down in a 596 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: twenty year war in Iraq Afghanistan, and it ended pretty 597 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 2: badly at the abbey Gate in August. It was at 598 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. I believe World War two was complete 599 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 2: in three and a half years. People. We got in 600 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 2: the war after December seventh and was over by August 601 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 2: of forty five. That's three and a half years. We 602 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 2: fought a world war in Asia, China, Bournma, and India. 603 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: We fought a world war that started in Africa and 604 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: went into Europe. We freed a lot of people in 605 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 2: Western in Western Europe, we saved Dan. 606 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 9: I don't direct war world War two. The country was united, yes, 607 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 9: and yes there was a patriotism that just doesn't exist anymore. 608 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 2: Well, I think that, and I understand what you're saying. 609 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 2: But here's what I think. I think that a lot 610 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 2: of people feel they've been misled, and I understand what 611 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 2: Sherea is feeling. Okay, I don't agree with her, but 612 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 2: I do think that it's important for people like you 613 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 2: and me to make the points that hey, this is 614 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 2: a temporary inconvenience. I don't think Donald Trump is going 615 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 2: to take us down the road that George bush uh 616 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 2: and and President Obama stayed on for his term. I 617 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 2: just don't. I don't see it that way. I think 618 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 2: that that Trump is different and it. 619 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 9: I wish they would just take Trump's name out of this. 620 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 9: He's very helpful the administration. It's this is our country. 621 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 10: I hear you. 622 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 2: But but he is engendered. I mean, he's probably one 623 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 2: of the most controversial presidents of our lifetime. People either 624 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 2: really like him or dislike him. 625 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: Oh. 626 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 9: Absolutely, And I'm. 627 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: I'm perfectly welcome, happy to criticize him on things that 628 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 2: I think are wrong. But I think this is what 629 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 2: needed to be done. And I think that we needed 630 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 2: to do the attack on the nuclear sites, and I 631 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 2: think that that was a stopgap measure. And I think 632 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 2: that he was hoping that Iran would have seen reality 633 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 2: and that they could have actually negotiated some sort of 634 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 2: an agreement. When it became a parent that they couldn't. 635 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 2: I think he decided, well, we got to go all 636 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 2: in and we got to finish it off. So I 637 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 2: hope he's right. 638 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 9: And the thing is, Dan, I don't think he decided 639 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 9: this by himself. 640 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 2: No, no, no, I mean no, I have a lot 641 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 2: of confidence in this general. Uh Dan Caine and I 642 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: have a lot of confidence in Marco Rubio as well. 643 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 2: All Right, ill louve against that.
