1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBS Boston's news

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: radio Boy.

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: I thank Paul English.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 3: Pretty interesting hour in terms of where the world is

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: going to be a few years from I keep thinking

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 3: that AI is similar to what the Internet was. When

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 3: the Internet arrived, there were a lot of people who

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: had questions and doubts, and it turned out that all

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: of us now, very few of us can really survive

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 3: without the Internet. So just as few of us can

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: survive without automobiles in some form of fashion, the days

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: of horse and buggy are gone. So let's look forward

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: and let's crop a d M. Let's let's seize the moment. Now,

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 3: we're also going to look forward to what might or

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: might not happen tomorrow night, beginning at eight o'clock East

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: Coast time. The President has made it very clear that

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: unless there is a deal that is reached, at least

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: that is his current position. A deal is reached and

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: which includes opening the Strait of Hormuz, that there will

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: be a renewal of bombing of infrastructure, power plants, and

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 3: bridges beginning tomorrow night, which would be eight o'clock our time,

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 3: but would probably be four o'clock or five o'clock in

23
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: the morning on Wednesday, Iranian time, So I'd like to

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: talk about what do you expect. It seems to me

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: that the President is going to be really on the

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: spot tomorrow night at this time if a deal has

27
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: not been reached and there's no real signs at least

28
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: that any of.

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Us have seen.

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: Again, I've been doing the show for the last couple

31
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: of hours, and I will I will double check and

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: as we go along during the next two hours if

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: there is.

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: A sort of a change.

35
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: The one thing that I do have is today at

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: one o'clock, and some of you might have been able

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: to watch it. If you were working, you probably couldn't.

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: There was an extraordinary news conference that included President included

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: President Trump, CI Director John Ratcliffe, US Secretor of War

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: Pete Hegseeth, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: General Dan Kane.

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: General Kane.

43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: Was really interesting because he he basically, I think, laid

44
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: out what a disastrous situation potentially the US military was

45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: facing when that F fifteen fighter jet was a shot down.

46
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: It would have been last Thursday night hour time, but

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: it would have been Friday morning or anyon time, so

48
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: one pilot of Jacks. He's picked up pretty quickly. There's

49
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: a controversy now about whether or not information about the

50
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: second pilot was was released that that information was released.

51
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: We'll get to all of that for sure, but I

52
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: want to start off rob with cut number nine. This

53
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General

54
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: Dan Kane, talking about the rescue mission. So he's going

55
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: to pick it up here and talk about the situation

56
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: that both pilots faced.

57
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: The the pilot of the plane who was who was

59
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: flying the plane, he was picked up fairly quickly. His

60
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: his call sign was Dude forty four ALF the weapons

61
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: systems officer who spent an amazing amount of time in

62
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: Iran on the ground injured badly. I suspect that the

63
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: pilot was injured.

64
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: Two.

65
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 3: We don't have much information about his condition other than

66
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 3: they say he's going to be fine. So let's go

67
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: first off to cut number nine. This is the Chairman

68
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 3: of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Kane.

69
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: On Thursday two April at ten ten pm Eastern time,

70
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: four forty in the morning local Iran time. The Joint

71
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: Personnel Recovery Center, which handles the Central Command area of

72
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 5: responsibility declared an isolated personnel recovery event for a US

73
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: Air Force fifteen E Strike Eagle call signed DUDE four

74
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 5: to four, which was down in hostile Iranian territory. The

75
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 5: pilot and weapons system officer had both safely ejected and

76
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 5: were isolated behind enemy lines. Following confirmation of active rescue

77
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 5: beacons and on the direction of the Secretarium by order

78
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 5: of the President, a rescue operation was launched with the

79
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 5: stated purpose of bringing both Americans home safely. As the

80
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: Secretary said several hours later on the morning, after positively

81
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 5: locating the front seater call signed DUDE for four alpha

82
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: and aware of an aggressive ongoing search by the enemy,

83
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 5: a US Central Command plan was approved by the Secretary

84
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: and the President shortly thereafter. A US Air Force Combat

85
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 5: Search and Rescue task force comprised of a ten Warthogs

86
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 5: in their Sandy role, and I'll describe what that is

87
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 5: in a minute. HC one thirty combat Kin twos H

88
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: eight sixty Jolly Green two helicopters, an Air Force Special

89
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 5: Warfare airmen, a package comprised of combat rescue officers and

90
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: pair of rescuement operators audaciously penetrated enemy territory in broad

91
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 5: daylight to find, fix, and recover Dude four four Alpha

92
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 5: from behind enemy lines. This was an incredibly dangerous mission,

93
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 5: an incredibly dangerous undertaking, but a filled promise made every

94
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: American warfighter that you will not be left behind. We

95
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 5: will always come find you, and we will always bring

96
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: you home.

97
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: So one pilot's take is fine, if you're on the line,

98
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: stay there. I'm going to get to calls, I promise

99
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, nine,

100
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: three one ten thirty. But when you listen to General Keane,

101
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 3: you hear it in his voice, his command of the language,

102
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 3: and his command. Listen to him for the second part

103
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: of this rescue mission, Cut number ten R up.

104
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 5: Over the next hours, the Search and Rescue Task Force

105
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 5: crossed the beach, entered into Ranian airspoyl, protected by a

106
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 5: fighter strike package, and moved into the objective area, all

107
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 5: under fire en route. As some of you have seen

108
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: on social media, the helicopters took gas off the sea

109
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 5: one thirties and pressed onward and forward up into the

110
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: objective area. While this was ongoing and out in front

111
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 5: of them, the Sandy Flight of A tens and other

112
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 5: remotely piloted aircraft, drones and other tactical aircraft were violently

113
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 5: suppressing and engaging the enemy in a close in gunfight

114
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 5: to keep them away from the front seater and allow

115
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: the pickup force to get into the objective area. During

116
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 5: this engagement, one of the Sandy aircraft, the one primarily

117
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 5: responsible for communicating with a down pilot, was hit by

118
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 5: enemy fire. This pilot continued to fight, continued the mission,

119
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 5: and then upon exit, flew his aircraft into another country

120
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 5: and determined that the airplane.

121
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Was not landable.

122
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: This was one of our A ten Sandy aircraft. The

123
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: pilot then made the decision to eject over friendly territory

124
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: and was quickly and safely recovered and it's doing fine.

125
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: After picking up Dude four for Alpha. The HH sixty

126
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 5: Jolly Green fight was engaged by every single person in

127
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 5: Iran who had a small arms weapon and one of

128
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: the aircraft, the trailing aircraft took several hits. The CRW

129
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 5: sustained minor injury and they are going to be fine.

130
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an extraordinary weekend. There was a lot of

131
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: confusion and we're going to get to all of that

132
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: get to your reaction. This could have been a disaster

133
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: for the American pilots, and certainly the second American pilot

134
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 3: badly wounded apparently bleeding according to reports, profusely, who was

135
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: able to get up a the side of a mountain

136
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: seven thousand feet that's that's more than a mile up

137
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 3: and secreted himself in a crevice. I don't know if

138
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: that would be considered a cave or or or simply

139
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: something in the rock formation. It just was unbelievable how

140
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: well it ended for these pilots and for the United

141
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: States of America. Where're you going to take phone calls?

142
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: Gary from New Jersey's going to start us off on

143
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 3: the other side. I've got room for you if you'd

144
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: like six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six

145
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. We're going to

146
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: talk about not only what happened over the weekend. They're

147
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: shot down on Easter rather on Good Friday, uh, and

148
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: the second pilot is not released until Easter morning. I

149
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: felt at the time and I feel now as an

150
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: Eastern miracle that this courageous pilot was able to do

151
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: what he did to hide for anywhere between I guess

152
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: it was close to forty eight hours and just an amazing,

153
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: an amazing set of circumstances. Six one, seven, two, five, four,

154
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty

155
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: Back on Nightside right after this, You're.

156
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: On night Side with Dan ray On don YOUBZ Boston's

00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: news Radio.

158
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: So essentially what I want to do for the next

159
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: couple of hours is celebrate the return of these two pilots. Uh,

160
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: and I don't care who the president was at the time.

161
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: It was a successful operation. And there was some other

162
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: sound bites I want to play. But then I want

163
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: to ask you, if you want what happens tomorrow night.

164
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: Does the president push that deadline or does the president

165
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: do he has said he would do, And that is

166
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: basically take out bridges and power structure. Started off with

167
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 3: Gary in New Jersey. Hey, Gary, welcome back.

168
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: How are you, sir man?

169
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 6: You sounding good and everything? And I just got to say,

170
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 6: as an Air Force Vietnam veteran I was in the

171
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 6: Air Police, I could not have been prouder than what

172
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 6: I saw happened.

173
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for your service.

174
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: They were about five hundred US pilots who at some

175
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 3: point were held captive in North Vietnam as you know.

176
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 6: Uh, I remember when they used to go down and

177
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: everyone say h h hanaway Hillton.

178
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was one effort in the Vietnam War, the

179
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: Santai Ray. They had been held, some of the air

180
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: people had been held, pilots had been held, and they somehow,

181
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: some way they got there. They came in. It was

182
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: similar fashion and they had been moved just a couple

183
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: of days beforehand, so they were never any you know,

184
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: you know American pilots who were shot down in Vietnam

185
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: who were ever rescued, but an effort was made.

186
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 6: Well, one thing I got to say that a lot

187
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 6: of the American people don't know. Everyone knows about the Seals,

188
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 6: the Green Berets, the Rangers, but the power rescue in

189
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 6: the Air Force are really the cream of the crop.

190
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 6: I think it takes about two years worth the training

191
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 6: to get there, Yes, and what they do is nothing

192
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 6: short of amazing. And these people are really unsung heroes

193
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 6: that nobody knows about it.

194
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: And the washout raids. I understand that people who want

195
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: to serve in that capacity is and I guess it's

196
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 3: the Seer Unit s E R.

197
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know what it is now.

198
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's called it's called you know, the Seer training, Survival, evasion, resistance,

199
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: and escape. That's the training. But but the the military

200
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: members who who volunteered to be on this again, this

201
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: this this unbelievable group that accomplished what they accomplished over

202
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: this this Easter weekend. Apparently they have a wash out

203
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: rate of those who apply aren't accepted.

204
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 6: This is what I never tried. I didn't think I

205
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 6: could do it. I did where I was good at it.

206
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 6: But you know, the one thing I got to say

207
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 6: though about tomorrow night, we're dealing with a group of

208
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 6: religious fanatics who don't care if they're own, people with

209
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 6: or dying. As far as I'm concerned, if they don't

210
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 6: come across, I want him to do just what he

211
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 6: said he's gonna do. I do not want a nuclear

212
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 6: Iran for the future of humanity.

213
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think that would be a

214
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: huge problem. And I know that his his view seems

215
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: to be let's deal with it now than when they're

216
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: in a better position. They've been set back. Clearly, they've

217
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: already been set back tremendously. Okay, And and I do

218
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 3: hope that a different government emerges over there because can

219
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: you imagine living in that country under that type of regime?

220
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: Although it was interesting there apparently were a lot of

221
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: those pilots. Rather when the pilots were people went after them.

222
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: There were people out there with their own weapons shooting.

223
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it's you would think that they they would

224
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: have You know, that was very discouraging to hear that

225
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: in that part of the country. You know, Iranians were

226
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: more interested in trying to capture our pilots. Call me naive,

227
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: but you would think that after forty seven years.

228
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: Capture I know, but what are you going.

229
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: To do with a reward in Iran?

230
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 6: Oh, it's kind of like getting picked to be the

231
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 6: next diatole?

232
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind yeah, kind of right, Good luck with the

233
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: job and best best of luck. There's no pension involved

234
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: here at all, trust me that. So you you hope

235
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: that tomorrow Trump follows through.

236
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: On what he has promised.

237
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: If a deal isn't reached, what did they do. They're good,

238
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: they're good. It's sort of like teasing. And what about

239
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: if they say we need another couple of days, but

240
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: we're making progress.

241
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 6: When you put your that line in the sand deadline.

242
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 6: That's it. You don't there's no more wiggling, there's no

243
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 6: more jumping back. And quite frankly, I don't believe them anyway.

244
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 6: They have caused havoc in the world for the last

245
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 6: forty seven years. But one thing that I did see

246
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 6: that was very, very upsetting. Well, actually it's two things.

247
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 6: At his press conference today, and I'm not a news junkie,

248
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 6: but the guy from the New York Times asked him

249
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 6: if he was worried about being a war criminal an

250
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 6: international law. Now here's a guy that's trying to take

251
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 6: out a country that's made the world miserable for forty

252
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 6: seven years, and this guy is worried that is trying

253
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 6: to put out that the president of the United States

254
00:16:59,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 6: war criminal.

255
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: Well, there's an agenda there. I mean, there's clearly an agenda.

256
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: And as I said last week a couple of times

257
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: that in other times when the United States, whether it's

258
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: a democratic president or Republican president, committed to military activity,

259
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: there was plenty of protests internally, no question Vietnam, et cetera.

260
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 3: And even after nine to eleven, it didn't take long

261
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: for the protesters to turn out and forget about what

262
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: happened at nine to eleven. But back in the day,

263
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 3: the difference amongst the politicians stopped at the water's edge, meaning,

264
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 3: you know, we stood together as a country, the US

265
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 3: military overseas in trouble and in peril, and that has

266
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 3: that has seemed to have changed.

267
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, take one thing you and I can remember though,

268
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 6: when we were kids a long time ago.

269
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

270
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 6: Well, all of the people in politics, Democrat or Republican,

271
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 6: we're mostly World War Two veterans. Yes, whatever, whatever their

272
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 6: agenda was, they didn't hate America. And when it came

273
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 6: to standing up, they stood together.

274
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

275
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 6: They had an understanding.

276
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 2: Gary on that point.

277
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: I'm going to let you go because I'm up on

278
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: my my ten thirty newscast. Thanks for calling in and

279
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: thank it. Thanks again for your service during Vietnam.

280
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Thanks Jerry, talk to you soon six six seven.

281
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: Going to go to phones right after the news. Love

282
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: to have you there. Tell me what you think. What

283
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 3: do you think happens tomorrow? The President has pretty clearly

284
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: drawn a line in the sand eight o'clock tomorrow night.

285
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: Either there is a deal with at a minimum, a

286
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: promise that the strait of hor moves will be opened

287
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: up where we have the sound for the president. I'll

288
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 3: be happy to play it for you, But more importantly,

289
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: I'd like to know what you think will happen. We're

290
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: now well, it's twenty two hours away. Clearly Iran has

291
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: been has shown itself to be a more formidable opponent

292
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: that I think most of us would have expected. They

293
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: have they have absorbed a lot of the the body

294
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: blows and the punches. But Donald Trump said, I think

295
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: he talked about stone ages. We'll see what what happens tomorrow,

296
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: Night six one, seven thirty six seven. It is the

297
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: story of the night. There is nothing else that I'm

298
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: interested in talking about. I want to hear from you

299
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: coming back on Nightside.

300
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray Boston's news radio.

301
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: By the way, this was the President at the news

302
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 3: conference today, and he's asked a fairly challenging question.

303
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: Cut number fourteen, Rob, when's what they do?

304
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 7: This is a critical period. They have a period of

305
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 7: well till tomorrow.

306
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: At eight o'clock. I gave them an extension.

307
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 7: They asked for an extension of seven days, right, I said, Steve,

308
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 7: give them ten days. Ten days is up actually today,

309
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 7: so I gave them a leven. I guess indirectly. I

310
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 7: thought it was inappropriate the day after Easter.

311
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: I want to be a nice person.

312
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 7: They have till tomorrow. Now we'll see what happens. I

313
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 7: can tell you they're negotiating. We think in good faith.

314
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 7: We're going to find out. We're getting the help of

315
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 7: some incredible countries that want this to be ended because

316
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 7: it affects them. Also a lot of people are affected

317
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 7: by this. But we're giving them. We're giving them till

318
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 7: tomorrow eight o'clock Eastern time, and after that, they're gonna

319
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 7: have no bridges, they're gonna have no power plants, stone ages.

320
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, President Trump this afternoon. I don't know how you

321
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 3: back off from that. If the if a deal is

322
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: not uh completed. In my opinion, let's go to Mark

323
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: in Austin, Mark next on Nightsigead right, good.

324
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 8: Evening, Dan, thanks you for taking my call.

325
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: You're welcome, ghead.

326
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 8: I think one of the worst aspects of the Iranian

327
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 8: Islamic regime is its treatment of women, no question, I

328
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 8: mean it's damn horrible pardon my language.

329
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 3: Well, treatment of women, treatment of gay people, yeah, they

330
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: are They are a religious autocracy, theocracy, whatever you want

331
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 3: to call him. It's their way of the highway.

332
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: Mark.

333
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I you may disagree with me, but call me

334
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 8: a tender heart, call me a quasi path of this.

335
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 8: But had I been president, I would have organized the

336
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 8: tightest economic boycott imaginable, and I think eventually the Iranian

337
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 8: Islamic regime would have folded just like the old Soviet Union.

338
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 8: And waiting in the wings is a reasonable guy, Riza Paalavi,

339
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 8: the son of the late Shah, who wants to be

340
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 8: a transitional leader to like parliamentary democracy, just unilaterally give

341
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 8: up the nuclear program. You see, any really good national

342
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 8: leader will instinctively reject anything that he or she regards

343
00:22:54,040 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 8: as to destabilizing and war, even in self defense, even

344
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 8: fully justified in South Defain.

345
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark, we're having some trouble with your line. Are

346
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: you able to hear me? Mark?

347
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 6: Sure?

348
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, for some reason, your phone line is kind

349
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: of deteriorating on us. I will tell you, I think

350
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 3: that your idea of the toughest economic sanctions. We've tried

351
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: economic sanctions over there, but there's a couple of countries

352
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: over there that have been pretty supportive Russia and China

353
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 3: have been supportive of Iran.

354
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 9: True, and as.

355
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: Much as I would like to see economic sanctions always work,

356
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: I think we gave economic sanctions a long time and

357
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: they were getting closer and closer to having a nuclear

358
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: weapon and if they would have if they ever got one,

359
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 3: I know that they would have used it on Israel

360
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 3: at a moment's notice.

361
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: And who knows who then would have been next. Mark.

362
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: The line hasn't been great here, but I do appreciate

363
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: your call and appreciate you comments on it, and I

364
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: wish the world was as idealistic as you are, and

365
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: I mean that in a positive way. Then talk to

366
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 3: you soon, okay, good night. Six one seven, two, five,

367
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.

368
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: I can't believe that none of you want to offer

369
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: a suggestion or a thought as to how uh this

370
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 3: is going to resolve itself in the next twenty four

371
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: hours if President Trump decides to act upon his threat,

372
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 3: and you can call it a threat, you can call

373
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: it a promise that they the bombing.

374
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: Will be underway, he said, is it is intended?

375
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: And apparently they have plotted out where they want to

376
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 3: what they want to hit uh. He said that it

377
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: would take it would take place between eight o'clock tomorrow night,

378
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 3: which is now again what twenty one hours from now

379
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 3: eight o'clock tomorrow night and midnight. If that is so,

380
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: we'll have to see then what is the next chapter?

381
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 3: Will Donald Trump step back from this threat or do

382
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: you think that tomorrow night he will be delivering what

383
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: I think he considers to be the knockout punch. I

384
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: don't even understand how this regime is still standing at

385
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 3: this point based upon the number of missions that our

386
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: our Air force has has flown. So six seven, two, five, four,

387
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: ten thirty six, one, seven, nine, ten thirty your thought

388
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 3: on it again? I have a little bit more sound

389
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: from the presentation today that was made by the CIA

390
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: Director John Radcliffe, the Secretary of War, Pete Heggscliff Hegseth,

391
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: and Dan Kane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

392
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, this was Ratcliffe who was

393
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: pretty impressive to during his presentation to say this is

394
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 3: cut number six. Rob John Radcliffe on how desperate the

395
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: situation was a cut number six.

396
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 10: One thing that has been clear to me in this

397
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 10: role is that the flawless military operations that the Department

398
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 10: of War is known for are hostage to flawless intelligence.

399
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: We saw that in the skies over.

400
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 10: Iran in Operation Midnight Hammer last summer. We witnessed it

401
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 10: in Venezuela during Operation Absolute Resolve. We've seen it against

402
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 10: the cartels in the Western Hemisphere, and we're seeing it

403
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 10: every day in Operation Epic Fury, including this mission to

404
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 10: rescue an aviator buried deep behind enemy lines. Because it

405
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 10: is the unique tradition of the US Armed Forces that

406
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 10: we leave no man or woman behind. This was a

407
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 10: no fail mission. That was the spirit in which the

408
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 10: President put us to work, and we were determined not

409
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 10: to let him down. For our airman down.

410
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: Cliff.

411
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: Apparently the CIA played a big role, and I know

412
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 3: I'm switching back to what happened over the weekend, and

413
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: there was a deception utilized to mislead the Iranian forces

414
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: that they were getting this second pilot out over water.

415
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: So they were doing everything they could, and they also

416
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 3: had the firepower that was necessary. And two of the

417
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: planes we found out today, which once they had landed,

418
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: could not take off because the ground was so soft

419
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 3: underneath them, was described as being sand, and those are

420
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: the planes that we blew up.

421
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: Let me go to Steve up in Maine. I figured

422
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: you'd be driving tonight, Steve. How are you?

423
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 9: Oh?

424
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 4: I was driving, but I'm home now. Just get in.

425
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: How about that? That's pretty good welcome. What do you

426
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 3: think happens tomorrow?

427
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 4: Dan? I would be so surprised if Iran negotiated in

428
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 4: good faith because they never have and never will. And

429
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 4: I think that calling is bluff and calling Trump's bluff

430
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 4: and this threat about blowing up the bridges and all

431
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 4: this stuff. You know, they can, he can threaten Iran

432
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 4: all he wants. They're not gonna budge. They're not gonna

433
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: negotiate periods. They're willing to fight to the death to

434
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: protect that country and and get rid of the Americans

435
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 4: all they can. You know, that's their goal, and that's

436
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 4: what they're going to do. They're gonna fight to the death.

437
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 3: So what do you Well, there's ninety million of them,

438
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: so what what what do you think happens when when

439
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: eight o'clock arrives tomorrow night. I'm not sure that Donald

440
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: Trump has an option to back down at this point.

441
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: I mean, he has drawn that line in the sand, uh.

442
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: And I know that the Republicans criticized President Will a

443
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: couple of times, in effect drawing a line in the

444
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: sand and then backing up. I think it'll be go

445
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: time tomorrow, if I had to bet, I think he's

446
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: going to follow through on his threats.

447
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you, it's go time. I they

448
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: don't negotiate. He's gonna do what he says he's gonna do. Yeah,

449
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 4: and we'll see what happens. And we don't know what's

450
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 4: going to happen, but eventually world War three, but we

451
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: don't know when. Yeah, I hope you'll fill off, you know.

452
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I obviously world War three. That World War three

453
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: will be the last World war. I mean that's my feeling.

454
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: Now you're talking about, you know, nuclear weapons. He has

455
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: never suggested, implied, or stated that he would even consider

456
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: something like that. And I know you're not doing that.

457
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: But I think Russia has watched from Afar, China's watched

458
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: from Afar. I think that he basically has agree like

459
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: to do what he has to do tomorrow. I don't

460
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: think he wants to to kill innocent Iranians. I think

461
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: he actually empathizes with the Iranians. And hopes maybe that

462
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 3: they will stand up as a country and take uh,

463
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: take the regime down. It's not going to be asked

464
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: that takes the regime down. It will be the Iranian people.

465
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know how they're going to do that,

466
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 4: but just voting, you know.

467
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 2: But no, they're not going to vote.

468
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: There's no elections, no elections in Iran. Hey, Steve, I'm

469
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: up on my break. I can't tell you much. I

470
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: appreciate you. Give it a call tonight. Thank you, buddy.

471
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 3: We'll talk soon.

472
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Jean, thank you. Good night.

473
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: Six one seven, two, four ten thirty, six one seven,

474
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: nine three ten thirty. We can talk more about the

475
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: rescue of these pilots, which I think is extraordinary, the

476
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: way in which it was done. Today it was said

477
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: that only the United States could have pulled that off.

478
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 3: I tend to agree with that. But the question to

479
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: now is in the midst of all of this, Tomorrow

480
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: is the deadline Tomorrow night, eight o'clock East Coast time.

481
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: The President has made that clear. I don't think he

482
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: has a way to back away. If that's what he

483
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: wants to do. We will see tomorrow night. Six one

484
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: seven two five, four, ten thirty six, one seven, nine, three,

485
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: one ten thirty your thoughts. I know people don't like

486
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: to predict, but I just want to know what your

487
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 3: instinct is. I think that if there is no agreement,

488
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: however it might be characterized, I think it's going to

489
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 3: be a very long night in around tomorrow night back

490
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: on Nightside.

491
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray, Boston's news radio.

492
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: I want one more before we get to Lola, and

493
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: we will get to Lola. I want one more SoundBite here, Rob.

494
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: This is a President Trump today talking about what would

495
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: see to be his sympathy, if not for the Iranian government,

496
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 3: for which he has no sympathy, but a sympathy for

497
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: the Iranian people. He says they just want their freedom

498
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: and that he will continue to bomb until they obtain

499
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 3: their freedom. Cut thirteen.

500
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 7: Please Rob, they would be willing to suffer that in

501
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 7: order to have freedom. The Iranians. We've had numerous intercepts.

502
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 7: Please keep bombing bombs that are dropping.

503
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: Near their homes.

504
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 7: Please keep bombing.

505
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: Do it.

506
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 7: And these are people that are living where the bombs

507
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 7: are exploding, and when we leave and we're not hitting

508
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 7: those areas, they're saying, Please come back, come back.

509
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: Come back.

510
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 7: These are the people.

511
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what they do.

512
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 7: All I can tell you is they want freedom. They

513
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 7: have lived in a world that you know nothing about,

514
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 7: is a violent, horrible world where if you protest, you

515
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 7: are shot. Remember the Great Woman protests where they had

516
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 7: four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand women and they were

517
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 7: all enthusion they were going to protest, and everybody said, oh,

518
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 7: the regime's going to come to an end, and then

519
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, boom boom, five six different areas,

520
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 7: a woman would go down right between the eyes. They

521
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 7: had snipers.

522
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: They had five snipers.

523
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: That's all it took.

524
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 7: And those four or five hundred thousand women said, oh

525
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 7: my god, what's that?

526
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

527
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 7: Look over there, what's that? A woman shut right between

528
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 7: the eyes. And after five or six of them go down,

529
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 7: then you start hearing the purr through the vast number

530
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 7: of people. And then they said, oh my god, who

531
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 7: would do that? And they're incredible people, but they've lived

532
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 7: so horribly.

533
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: I can't disagree with him on his observations about what

534
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 3: this guy has done to the Iranian people. And I'd

535
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: love to hear if you're out there tonight, and you

536
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: have a strong If you happen to be Iranian, this

537
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: might be a night in which you want to express yourself.

538
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: Let me go to Lola in San Diego. Hey, Lola,

539
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 3: thanks for checking in. How are you tonight?

540
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 9: I'm good, Dan, I'm hanging in there. I've been listening,

541
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 9: but I haven't been calling in because you know it's heavy.

542
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 9: So yes, does I ran no to be taken out?

543
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

544
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 9: I have Iranian friends, professional people and just regular people

545
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 9: have met at yoga, so I'm very sympathetic. My concern

546
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 9: is we're looking over there at the east. Who's looking

547
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 9: at our back door? Wagging the dog? You got to

548
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 9: look at you know, they're sleep itself, sleeping when they're

549
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 9: going to wake up? When are we you know something

550
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 9: with I don't see anything going on over here like safety.

551
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 3: Well look, well, well you know what I'm saying is

552
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 3: that we've been bombing them now for a month. Maybe

553
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: it's possible that we have figured out where the sleeper

554
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 3: cells are. I don't have any knowledge of that. Okay,

555
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: But at the same time, okay.

556
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you this.

557
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this. Do you think that we

558
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: should stop doing what we're doing?

559
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 9: Because no, no, you can't because see once you threat,

560
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 9: once you make a threat, or even even you know,

561
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 9: when you're in a relationship with a man and you

562
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 9: want him to do something and you go, you got

563
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 9: to do this or else and he doesn't. Now you

564
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 9: have no power.

565
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: Okay, well let's let's let's yeah, but let's let's focus

566
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: on what you think the president will do tomorrow night.

567
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 3: I mean, the president theoretically tomorrow night could say well,

568
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 3: we've made great progus regress in the last twenty four hours,

569
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 3: and I'm going to give them another day.

570
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a smart move, because.

571
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 9: I think so that's my point.

572
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: Okay, so I agree with you. I want to try

573
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: to figure out if I agree with you or not.

574
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

575
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, you can't give somebody an ultimatum if you don't

576
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 9: do this by tomorrow, and then you move to tomorrow,

577
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 9: to tomorrow, and then tomorrow it's tomorrow. Like That's part

578
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 9: of what's going on in this world with a lot

579
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 9: of things. The gas prices keep going up. They don't

580
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 9: have to, They're doing that all on purpose to control us.

581
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 9: We have our own.

582
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: Game gosday, Whose day?

583
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,560

00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: who I want to have a conversation with you, Lola,

586
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 3: I don't want to yell.

587
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 9: Okay, when people yelling, I'm excited, I'm excited like.

588
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: That's fine, but it sounds like you're yelling. What I'm

589
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: trying to say to you is, whenever people say to me, oh,

590
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: they're doing this, I always ask myself, who's the day?

591
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 2: Is it?

592
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 3: The the heads of the oil companies? Is that the

593
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: day is it? Donald Trump?

594
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 9: Well, I would assume it's the oil companies because they

595
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 9: have an excuse. But we have our own oil in

596
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 9: the United States. We don't need their oil. So I

597
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 9: know what I'm paying two dollars more gallon. I've been

598
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 9: sending you my gas receipts.

599
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: I understand that.

600
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 3: But you also know you live in California, which has

601
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: incredibly yeh taxes on gasoline.

602
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 9: Where two dollars above you guys, so whatever you are

603
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 9: were two dollars.

604
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this.

605
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Loa, do you think that they are saying, let's

606
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 3: screw those people in California?

607
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

608
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 9: No, everybody across the country, their gas is going up

609
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 9: now you get the groceries are going to be going

610
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 9: up because the trucks with the diesel fuel.

611
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: Well, here's the deal. Let me just finish with this, Lolo.

612
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: Okay, if that air man could spend that, that that

613
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: special weapons operator who spent just spent forty eight hours

614
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: in the mountains of Iran, badly wounded, bleeding profusely, if

615
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 3: he can suffer that, I can pay a few book

616
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: a few more dollars for gasoline every time I fill up.

617
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: I don't want to sound like but I think we

618
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: got to keep it in perspective, Lola.

619
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 9: I'm with them. I'm for the military people. They're whisking

620
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 9: their lives. I get that.

621
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: Okay, let's let's let's focus on supporting and stop whining

622
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 3: about gas prices.

623
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all I'm saying that.

624
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 9: I said that in the store to somebody. Somebody was

625
