1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: One of the things that makes Coast to Coast a

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: AM truly special is that the program never stopped seven

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: days a week, sixty five days a year. And we

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: know that it's almost impossible to catch every episode when

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: it airs because sometimes life gets in the way. But

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: if you become a Coast Insider, you'll never have that

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: problem again. You can listen to the last night show

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: in any program from the past five years of Coast

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: to Coast anytime anywhere you want. Never miss a program

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: again by heading over to Coast to Coast a M

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: dot com and signing up to become a Coast Insider.

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast a M

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: on iHeart Radio, Wichita, Kansas. It's Daniel Stern on Coast

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: to Coast. Hey Daniel, thank you, Hi George. I heard

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: your ads saying that you take alternative points of view. Yes,

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: we sure do, and you let people talk to have that. Okay. Uh.

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: My first statement before I started, I want to say this,

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: you do not ant or hate with hate, and you

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: do not answer evil with evil. And this is a

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: response to your editorializing the situation in Syria. Ah we

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: are we sent sixty Tomahawk cruise missiles over there in

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: response to them killing less than one civilians that we

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: do not know who was responsible. We have our beliefs

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: who is responsible. When ice think that shrapnel wounds and

25
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: gun bullets that do not kill immediately are just as horrible,

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: but the TV is not the same when they show

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: any when they show them in the actual stages of dying,

28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: that's horrendous. Are un representative? NICKI Haley decided to show

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: these pictures in the U N when in g o's

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: from our country, from Europe, from all over have been

31
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: trying to show pictures of children in Somalia and Yemen

32
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: that we sell the weapons that kill these children, and

33
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: that not only are they being killed by weapons, they

34
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: are warning of mass starvations and right now they estimate

35
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the twenty five children a week are starving to death

36
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: in those two countries due to a band ship total

37
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: band on sports done by the Saudi Arabi Gins, which

38
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: we are close allies with. How dare us? How dare us?

39
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: I think that we should punish Assad which which that

40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: does not hurt him for the if he did that

41
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: by sending these Tarmahawk missiles. I proposed that Donald Trump

42
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: should have rose above it and said, do you know

43
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: what a tomahawk missile cruise missile costs at one point

44
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: five nine million dollars a piece, Okay, so multiply that

45
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: by six that it was about nine plus million dollars.

46
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: I mentioned that earlier, if we would have sent that

47
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: money two Somalia and Yemen, that we are making money

48
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: by the same people that are making these tarmahawk missiles. Well,

49
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: I hear something or Daniel, don't send the money because

50
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: it'll end up in the hands of those war lords

51
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: in those crooks send the food. Well, so what happens

52
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: if we you stated that your family was from Syria.

53
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: I've had my families from the Middle East Syria leving

54
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: on all over the place out there, all right, that

55
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: got really cut up after World War One by the

56
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: French and the British. And I don't believe Aleppo was

57
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: actually a part of Syria. At that time, it was

58
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: considered Mesopotamia, wasn't it right? Yes, I believe it was

59
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: because Aleppo was to the north and the Brits and

60
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: the French decided to divide the land up. This is

61
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: a a sectarian as it is in Iraq as it

62
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: was in in Afghanistan, especially in Iraq northern Syria. This

63
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: is all cut up by differences of the nation of Islam,

64
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: different beliefs of the same religion and sex and tried.

65
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: And I I don't think that, uh, we could say

66
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: it's a positive result of what I lost, the sun

67
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: I lost, I lost a son. And I don't think that, uh,

68
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: We're going to accomplish anything by sending our money and

69
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: our blood over there by killing people. I think if

70
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: we want to change these people's minds, that we should

71
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: show them that America is a generous place that will

72
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: tolerate the butchering of children and and participate. And we

73
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: are participating. We're condemning people for doing the exact thing

74
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: that we are doing. And I wonder why on these

75
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: national news shows I can't see that on that I

76
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: have to get on websites of n g o s

77
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: to see what's going on in Somalia and Yemen, and

78
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: why these national news shows don't plaster it is. I

79
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: think starvation is one of the most horrible ways to die.

80
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Oh it is. There's no question about it. And it's

81
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: and if you're a baby or a child, double that

82
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: in terms of the pain. I just asked that. You know,

83
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: I heard your opinion on it, and it well, but no, no,

84
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: I remember I said that it was a waste of

85
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: money launching those missiles into an air aircraft area in

86
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: an airport, literally a military airport that didn't do anything. No, No,

87
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I I don't think it. You know, if if we

88
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: think a sad did it, it would have been better

89
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: to go after him, not not those runways in storage.

90
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: For George, I think it's better for us to clean

91
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: our own house first. That will never happen, Daniel, were

92
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: never bombs we're allowing Saudi Arabia because they're sitting on

93
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: this massive amount of oil wealth we are selling them

94
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: are companies. We are profiting by owning stocks in these companies.

95
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: US we are the number one armed sails to Saudi

96
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: Arabia that are correctly killing these children, No question about it.

97
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: In no argument for me on that, Daniel, none. Why.

98
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about thousands, So why all of

99
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: a sudden does this hundred people less than twenty were children?

100
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: Why has this? That doesn't make this less important? But

101
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. It's like double standards. No,

102
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: it's not like it is. And I don't mind double standards,

103
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: but I do mind any standard that kills children. Well,

104
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: good for you. Now, let me let me ask you something.

105
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Do you feel like I gave you your due on

106
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: the program? Yes, I do, and I appreciate that. And

107
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: I know people disagree with me. And if someone disagrees

108
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: with lessening, no matter what the reason, whatever culture you are,

109
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: uh be it by starvation, by a bomb, by neglect,

110
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: by lack of health care of a child, they can

111
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: uh disagree with me and go straight to the devil.

112
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,119
Speaker 1: Because I think that that is what our world depends

113
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: on to get to a better place. Daniel, you welcome

114
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: on this program anytime we have guests or you want

115
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: to call in. You know that. All right, my friend,

116
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: take care and here many of his points are very

117
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: well taken. There are double standards, to be sure, there

118
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: are double standards. I mean, we we go to war

119
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: over countries that are not democratic. The Saudi government is

120
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: run by a family, and they have kept the internal

121
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: strength there by getting our support, uh and providing some

122
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: privileges inside of Saudi Arabia to keep people somewhat happy.

123
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: They spend a lot of money within that kingdom. Um.

124
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: But uh, you know it started off a long time ago.

125
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: It was called the House of Sod and uh. They

126
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: were Bedouins and they just with their armies, they just

127
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: took a little bit more, a little bit more. But

128
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: but he's white. Kuwait is somewhat like that too. Look

129
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: what we did with Saddam Hussein over Kuwait. We basically

130
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: turned our head to let him go in there in

131
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: the first place, and then we turned on him and

132
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: and got him and the rest is history. And we're

133
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: still there in Iraq. What a mess that is? Huh.

134
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: In Afghanistan still there? What a mess. I believe we

135
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: went into Afghanistan in October of two thousand one, if

136
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, right after nine eleven, about a month later,

137
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: and we're still there. Unbelievable. Listen to more Coast to
