Over the weekend, President Trump gave the okay to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, thus joining Israel in the conflict against Iran. Specifically, the U.S. targeted Fordow, a uranium enrichment facility deep inside a remote mountain in Iran, and facilities at Natanz and Isfahan. Monday, in retaliation, Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base, Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who received a classified briefing Monday morning, told reporters that the U.S. anticipated Iran's reprisal. Qatar's Ministry of Defense relayed a statement that the base’s air defense system intercepted the missiles towards the base and no deaths or injuries were reported. Now that the U.S. is engaged in warfare towards Iran, do you think we’re on our way to WWIII? We discussed the latest in the U.S. conflict with Iran.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's
and News Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Where we're talking about the events of the weekend. And
the only events of the weekend that we're talking about
are the decision by the Trump administration to bomb the
three nuclear sites in Iran and what has happened in
short order apparently, and again, we're still trying to monitor
(00:29):
this as you are. We're following this story just like you.
According to the President of United States, there will be
a complete and total ceasefire a little less than an
hour from now, he put on Trump's social about six
two tonight. The congratulations everyone. It's been fully agreed by
(00:52):
and between Israel and AROUND that there will be a
complete and total ceasefire. And approximately six hours from now,
when Israel and AROUND have Israel and Iran have wound
down and completed their in progress final missions for twelve hours,
at which point the war will be considered officially ended. Officially,
Iran will start the cease fire upon the twelfth hour.
(01:15):
Israel will start the cease fire upon the twenty fourth hour.
So if I'm reading this correctly, and I don't know
that I am, as of midnight, Iran will have twelve hours. Well, no,
(01:37):
Iraq will start the cease fire, and I meaning at midnight,
and upon the twelfth hour, which would be noon tomorrow
our time, Israel will start the cease fire. And upon
the twenty fourth hour this midnight tomorrow night, an official
end of the twelve day war will be saluted by
the world. Well again, believe it when we see it,
(01:58):
but certainly, certainly that is a development that I'm sure
makes a lot of people happy, makes me happy, I'm
sure it makes people in Iran and Israel happy as well.
And who would have thunk that on Saturday night, about
forty eight hours ago, when all of us were digesting
(02:21):
the word of the attacks by the USB two bombers,
a fleet of seven B two bombers that hit these sites,
as well as some missiles fired from a US submarine offshore,
did some damage. We don't know exactly how much. The
(02:42):
presidents that obliterated using the same word that Hillary Clinton
had used. By the way, this I find kind of
interesting those of you who haven't heard this in the
last hour, Rob, I want you to play the cut
of Hillary Clinton. It's only thirty seconds. This is Hillary
Clinton from two thousand and eight, promising to attack Iran
(03:02):
and using the same word that the President used, obliterate.
Cut one oh three, Rob.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm
the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development
they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the
next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching
an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally
obliterate them.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
That's a terrible thing to say.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
That those people who.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Run Iran need to understand that, because that perhaps will
deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish,
and tragic.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And there were some Republicans and Democrats over the weekend
who were quick to criticize, in fact, for the Trump
administration not having complete knowledge of when what damage had
been done. This is representative Roe Kanna. He's a actually
a Philly rational Democrat on face the nation. Cut number
(03:59):
three already, please, Rob.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Now you've put American troops at risk. Now you're wasting
billions of our dollars because we're sending more troops to
the Middle East. What did you accomplish and why are
you oblivious to the American people who are sick of
these wars?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
If it turns out that Donald Trump is successful here
and has forced a ceasefire. I think mister Khanna will
be eating those words. But there was also a Republican
some guy out of Kentucky who I'd never really heard
of before, Representative Thomas Massey. He is an R after
his name cut thirty one.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
I think this what has happened, what has transpired this
week has been planned for months that you know, this
administration and maybe even the administration prior to that said,
you go in and soften them up, take out their
air defense capabilities, and then we'll send in the big bombers.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Well tell me something I couldn't figure out myself. Congressman. Yeah,
I would hope it was planned for months, and I
would hope that they kept it on the quiet on
the d LO. No sense of telling around ahead of time,
what were plans are there? These are the people who
we elect to congress in this country. Okay, let's go
(05:18):
to Will on Long Island. Hey, Will, welcome back. You're
on nightside. We'll go right ahead.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Hey Dan, are you trying to tell me that countries
like Israel and the United States just don't go free
willy nilly bombing? Things over there and knocking out nuclear
facilities without knowing what the impact might be, not just
on the Iranian population, but the entire Middle East. You're
trying to tell me that they just don't just go
throwing bombs around. I'm in complete shock.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well that's what, that's what.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Thank you, Thank you Congress and Massie for letting us
know that the United States just doesn't just throw bombs
around like they did I don't know in Yemen, in Syria,
in Somalia. Wait, all these acts were done with what again, Oh,
without congressional approval by Barack Obama, who actually bombs more
countries than George Bush. Yeah, Afghanistan, Pakistan. I should go
(06:13):
on and on and on and on at all the
countries that Barackobamba bombed without prior congressional approval. And now
here we are because Democrats don't think that we have
this thing called video where we get to watch. Let
me tell you a little something about Hillary Clinton when
she was when Joe Biden was in the primaries. Okay,
(06:36):
with for a part of the hates old white guys,
they really had the two oldest white guys they could
find leading that primary with Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, right.
And I remember saying to my friends, I said, you know,
I wish Hillary would come back. At the time, I
had a little show. I'm on the air, I'm talking
to people. They're yelling at me, But you if you
have somebody with a different opinion, and I asked them
(06:57):
very simply, I said, I love America more than I
love any party. And I'm not a Republican. I know
you guys don't understand that, but I'm not. And I said,
I would rather have Hillary Clinton than this Volkswagen car
full of clowns that got out juggling bulls that are
up on the stage at the primaries right now, God forbid,
Joe Biden becomes the president of the United States. Right.
(07:19):
And it was partially because of things like that that
Hillary said right there. Yes, I didn't like her. I
thought she was despicable, and I would certainly vote for
Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. But if we lost, would
we not have been in better hands with Hillary Clinton
than a demented Joe Biden or a crazy socialist like
Bernie Sanders. I mean, I love my country more than politics,
(07:42):
and I have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You're right, I mean I think that Joe Biden basically
was past his prime. It was only in an election
in twenty twenty where Joe Biden was able to stay
in his basement and not be exposed for whatever frailties
he had developed.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Then it was when the Democrats tried to cover for
him or your friends let's say, let's say your friends, right,
the people you know that are supposedly sensible Democrats, And
they started saying as the presidency went on and the
mess in Afghanistan, they started saying things like, well, we
didn't know would be this dad. Really, really, he looked
like he was in a standing a count. Every question
(08:24):
that he answered during the apartment she was saying, oh,
put the record player on. They don't know what to do, Mauge.
It was insane what I was watching. I was watching
a man stare into space. He should have been in
a nursing home, throwing jello at the orderlies for bringing
him the wrong flavor pudding or whatever. I couldn't believe
what I was watching. And we voted for that, And
now we have a president that finally did. If he
(08:47):
didn't knock out all the nuclear capabilities or whatever, he
certainly sent a message that the capabilities of Israel and
America are so far beyond. When we spoke last week,
what did we talk about, I said, and Iran's military
is severely overrated by the rest of the world. They
are a regional power at best, and they stanned absolutely
(09:09):
zero chance. The operation that we ran, we sent a
bunch of planes across the world. We refueled them in
the middle of the air. We had them drop the
bomb within a fifteen or twenty minute window and then
fly out the other side of their country without a
shot being fired at us.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, by by the way, in order to because of
each of these bombers carried two thirty thousand pounds bombs,
and each of those bombers could not get off the ground,
could not get off the ground with a full fuel tank.
So they had to keep the amount of fuel below
(09:51):
a certain level in order to get these bombers up
in the air. And that's why also they had to
do some refueling. Obviously, they had a thirty seven hour
round trip, which also was a huge.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Fan crazy And one more thing I'd like to say about,
you know, being a sensible politician and someone that's that's
just honest Okay, that's just honest with me. I did
not agree when Pennsylvania, I thought voted for a guy
that you know, unfortunately suffered a severe stroke. I didn't
know much about him before that, Okay, but I was like,
(10:24):
you literally would rather vote for a stroked out guy
than doctor Oz? Really? Is that what we come down to?
And now after his recovery, listening to John Feederman, not
just because he's somewhat on our side, because he's just honest,
because he doesn't have to poll everything he says. He
goes out there and he says it, and it doesn't
matter if this party agrees with him. He stands with
(10:46):
Israel unapologetically. He said he would have attacked Iron. He
stands behind the president on this issue. Many of them
he disagrees with him with. These are the type of
Democrats that I used to vote for. These ones right here,
all right, Dan, thanks for having me so much time.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I appreciate it great, And I would take quick break
here one line at six one seven, two, five four
to ten thirty and the other line. We got to
double check those lines six one seven, nine three one
ten thirty. They have been very quiet tonight. Six one
seven two five, four to ten thirty just filled up,
which is great. However, you got a couple of open
lines at six, one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
(11:23):
Back on nightside, I got Octane coming up, and also Shana,
we're looking forward to those conversations coming right back on
night side.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You're on night Side with Dan ray on you Bzy
Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Hick.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Back to the phones we go. Let's go to Octane
in Brighton. Hi, Octane, how are you tonight, Dandre?
Speaker 10 (11:44):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'm doing excellent? What's your take on all of this? Octane?
Speaker 10 (11:49):
I My take on this is that I have a
question for you actually too, So why do you think
these neighbor these neighboring countries, why do you think they're
so quiet out to the stripe they that we got
to Iran? Why you think they're so quiet? Isn't that
frightening to you?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, I think, to be really honest with you, I
think it's heartening. I think that the reason these countries
are quiet they don't like Iran. They Iran has caused
problems for a lot of these countries. Iran is no
friend of Saudi Arabia, is no friend of Jordan. Iran
(12:24):
is estrange from most of the countries.
Speaker 10 (12:27):
About Afghanistan in the Middle East, well, about Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I think that Afghanistan and the Taliban are an interesting
group in that I don't think I think that they
are so isolated. I don't think that they do much
with any of the other Middle Eastern countries. And obviously
today Iran just threw, you know, fourteen missiles in on
(12:53):
the country of Katar, on a US air base in Qatar.
But they still decide to do that. Israel know, there's
a lot of countries over there, as I'm sure you
know the the UAE, UH, uh, Bahrain, uh and cut it,
who have established relations with Israel uh, and they're they're
(13:15):
engaging in economic uh and UH. You know passports now
or they used to be a period in time where
if you had an Israeli passport you couldn't travel to
a lot of these countries. So I think things are
getting better. You've heard of the Abraham Accords, I'm sure, so, yeah,
I think things are getting better for Israel. And I
think people are looking at Iran as a bunch of
(13:36):
nut jobs, and I think that people have come to
the conclusion, Yeah, they were all geeked when when Hyatola
hom Aani came back and they took the US hostages
and the big bad the United States was on its
back and all of that. But I think they're I
think they were afraid of Iran and they and they're
they're very happy that the US has has crippled their
(13:58):
nuclear program. Right.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
So my other question to you is that do you
think in our lifetime nine to eleven is the worst
disaster that we're going to see in this country?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well? I hope so. I mean, I think that there's
a panoply of other disasters, chemical attacks, biological radiological attacks, EMPs.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
The reason, the reason I reason I got on that
topic is because of the strike that we have put
on Iran. When with that Saturday, correct, yes, Saturday, Yeah, Okay,
they know they can't stand up to the United States militarily.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
They know that.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
So with the border ben wide open, that Joe Biden
has led all these millions of people into our country,
they're going to try to retaliate on us any kind
of way. They don't think that this is going to
go away just because we bomb them and really crippled them.
They're not going to forget about this.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I think you're right. But one of the things that
I said earlier, and I hope you heard me say this.
Do you remember when after nine to eleven, we were
told by everybody, hey, if you see something, say something,
and you know, and and there came a point in
time where people will became a little apprehensive in that.
Let's say you saw someone who happened to be Middle
(15:22):
Eastern who was acting suspiciously uh and, and you then
would be accused of, well, you're being biased towards people
because the person appeared to be Middle Eastern. And maybe
in some cases there was a bias. Maybe there was
in some cases, but that didn't make us any safer, right, right,
(15:42):
And I just.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Want to put the Democrats on Front Street. You remember
when Obama was in power in office and he put
the allowed the military to strike Lebanon. You remember that?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah? Yeah. He also he killed some other There was
a Urican citizen who had actually visited the White House
while he was president. I forget the guy's name, but
he was a he was a Muslim cleric uh and
was considered to be uh and and President Obama I
(16:16):
think hit him while he was driving with his son
in Yemen, right, and they were hit with a drone
and there was a lot of criticism or President Obama.
Speaker 10 (16:25):
Yeah right, But didn't Hillary Clinton have something to do
with that?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I don't know if if she was had authorized that
and not. I know that that Hillary Clinton was very
happy when Kadafi was taken out. She said, we came,
we saw he died. So yeah, there's a lot of
stuff going on here. You're a pretty good historian here, Octane.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
I like that, right, right?
Speaker 10 (16:50):
And one more question, one more question, Well is the
comment comment? I should say, like I said, putting those
Democrats on front Street, they didn't never want to impeach
Obama when he'd done that in Lebanon, and when Joe
Biden just flooded our country with all these wackles from
(17:10):
all over all over the world, they didn't know talk
about impeaching him. So we got a president that's actually
standing up and doing his job, but they want to
impeach him. What kind of sense does that make to you?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, it doesn't make sense to me. I mean, this
is a situation where obviously he he told Iran, he
sent them a letter, what's it sixty seven days ago?
It was pretty clear that everybody knew that the possibility
of a military action was there. He acted upon it
(17:47):
a little sooner than people expected. But again, unfortunately, it
used to be in this country octane. And you may
remember this, or maybe you don't. They used to say
that political dis agreements amongst the Democrats and Republicans it
was supposed to stop at the water's edge, meaning, you know,
whatever the president did, we did it, you know as
(18:10):
a country, and we But now, no matter what Trump
does is a lot of Democrats want to go after him,
and no matter what. By now there were a lot
of Republicans who want after him, and it becomes everything
is much more partisan than it ever was in this country,
right right, I agree with you on that.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
I just want to I just want to call in
and give my two cents on it, more than it was.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
More than two cents. O take How to ask you
how old are you?
Speaker 10 (18:38):
If I could ask, I'm a little younger than you.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
I'm sixty three, just a little.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I've asked you that before. You have a very young voice.
You sound like you're you know, you sound very intelligent,
but you sound like you're twenty five or thirty.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
I've been listening to you for so many years. I
used to watch you on wb Z, and that's why
I'm listen to you every night. That's what I want
to ask you. Are you live on Sunday Sunday evenings?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
No, that that's the best off is what we consider
to be the most interesting or different show. We use
that Sunday night slot at eleven o'clock to try to
reach other people who might not ordinarily be listening.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
Well, you got a big support in me, Dan Ray.
You keep it up and you got a good show.
Appreciate it very much, Shane.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Appreciate your call. Thank you much. We'll talk again. Thank
you very much. We got to take a quick break,
you know what. I'm not going to do that. I
want to go to Shana. Shane. I don't want you
to have to wait. We'll delay the news a little
bit for you. How are you tonight, Shana?
Speaker 12 (19:39):
Oh? I am good. Can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I can hear you great. Thanks for calling. And you
are the first female voice that I've heard tonight, and
I congratulate you and thank you for joining us.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
Go right ahead, I know, and a first time call.
I heard you say that about women not calling in
and off.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, first time call or Shane or all right, yeah,
well we talked about this on Friday night, and all
the calls from male callers, and you know, there's a
lot of women who who are very small, who are
really good analyst as to what's going on, and fifty
(20:15):
percent of the population as women. I want fifty percent
of my callers to be women too.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Go right ahead, Shana, all right, I guess I'll have
to call back again sometimes.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I bet you'll want you to call that nothing on
what you think tonight? Go right ahead.
Speaker 12 (20:29):
Yeah, I mean, this whole thing is unfortunate. You know,
no one wants to, in my opinion, use you know,
war and weapons when they don't have to, and innocent people,
you know, always end up getting hurts is general what happens.
But I'm also just a big proponent of science. And
I'll say upfront, you know, I don't listen to enough
politics to make a completely informed opinionedness. But what I
(20:52):
do know is, you know, if you bomb somewhere with
nuclear weapons and materials, you might end up the much
bigger whoopsie than if you had just bombed I don't know,
a regular old military base and We do not need
more nuclear explosions in this world and nuclear falla which
can reach across countries. People don't realize. And I mean,
(21:14):
I think we should have learned that from Chernobyl. But anyway,
I just think, you know, it was it's reckless to
bomb a nuclear site.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
I just you know, nuclear war.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah. Let me, just for the fun of it, ask
you devil's advocate question, and that is if if if
Iran was close to basically developing enough plutonium that they
were able to enrich and make you know, ten or
(21:50):
twelve nuclear bombs. You I'm sure know enough about that country. Uh.
And the government there, it's a it's a it's a
theocracy run by a bunch of clerics. They've said all
along that they'd love to wipe Israel off the face
of the earth. I know that it's a risk, and
(22:13):
you're right, scientifically, it's a risk when you when you bomb.
You know, you know that what we did on what
the United States did on Saturday night. But I don't
know that we could allow run to have developed nuclear
weapons and and and slept well at night.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yeah, I agree, there's no good end to this.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
You know, in an ideal world, people wouldn't be developing
nuclear bombs, and you know, the atomic bomb never would
have happened. We don't live in an ideal world.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Well, the only thing with the atomic bomb. Do you
know how many lives American lives were saved by getting
japansa suror under in nineteen forty five?
Speaker 12 (22:59):
Absolutely, absolutely, no one wins in war, No, no.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, absolutely, I'm with you totally. And but what I'm
saying is World War two the United States was started
with Pearl Harbor, Okay, And when Pearl Harbor occurred, uh,
it put it put the United States in a war,
and we if we had had to have invaded Japan,
(23:29):
the estimates were a million American soldiers would have died.
And so Harry Truman had a tough decision to make
and he made it terrible, terrible decision to make. But
if if Harry Truman had made that decision, maybe people
like you and I wouldn't even be alive today. If
you get my.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Drift, I totally get your drift.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
There's no good outcome of this. And you know, had
Tom Brahms and nuclear weapons never been developed, you know
we'd be having a different conversation. But I just I
just hope they don't get used. I mean, if you
have to bomb so that they don't get used, and
that's I guess that's fine. You know, what are you
gonna do?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
You know, I'm agreeing with you now all of a sudden,
you've changed your argument a little bit, which is good,
and that is that, uh, I think a run is
less likely to develop and therefore very less likely to
ever use and a nuclear weapon as a result of
what happened on Saturday night.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
You know, I mean, I totally agree. It all makes sense.
It's just it's such a it's just such a scary process.
I mean again, you know, just just the use of
these weapons is so scary because you know, it's not
just bombing. You know an area and you know thousands die,
and it's fire and exclusion. You get into these nuclear weapons.
(24:53):
It's just such a whole at a ball game, and
you have mushroom clouds and radiation under filed.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I was in Poland as a as a TV reporter
in nineteen eighty six, just a couple of months after Chernobyl,
So believe me, I know what you're talking about in
terms of that that leak, that radioactive leak from Chernobyl.
(25:21):
So yeah, hey, SHANEA. I loved your call. I hope
you continue to listen to us more and call more often.
Could I could I be bold and ask you how
you are, because I'm always looking for younger callers, and
yourself a younger woman.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
I am great. I'm I'm thirty six. I just pulled
into a construction site I'm working at, so I'm going
to get to work shortly. But I do have another
couple of really quick questions. Well, I don't even know
what times and days of the week your show is.
That's a kibid question.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But eight to midnight Monday through Friday, all right?
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Cool?
Speaker 12 (26:00):
I only, I mean it only started working nights a
couple of months ago. So it's it's been It's been
a pleasure listening to you, and I appreciate it. Another
call off. I'm just super curious by the sound of
some of the callers. And again I'm not going to
find anybody, but just like it's it's it's funny to me.
Do some people call you drunk?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
No, I we we do not let people drunk on
the air. There there are a lot of people we've
learned over the years. I've done this for a while. Uh,
some people get nervous, but no, we can tell. We're
able to tell people when when when they're drunk, and
that's not what we want to do here on night side.
If someone wants to if someone's maybe had a beer
(26:44):
and they're able to haverry a decent conversation, I'm not
the alcohol police. But if someone calls up and and
and they're under the weather, as we would say, we
very politely asked them to call another time. Simple is that? Okay?
Speaker 12 (26:58):
I was just curious because some of these and just
everyone has their opinion. But to be frank, some of
it's just so comical, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Well again, one other thing we do in this program
is we invite all points of view. We don't cut
people off and allow people to express themselves. I get
criticized for that sometimes, but the whole idea of this
program is I don't care what you think. I just
care you thinking. That's what I mean. What I mean
by that is I want people who are thinking. That's all.
I want everyone to think. I don't care what concluded.
Speaker 12 (27:28):
I totally agree with that.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
I totally agree with that.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
I think everyone's opinion to be heard, and it was
very interesting for that reason.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, thank you very much, Thanks SHANEA. We'll talk soon.
Stay be good call soon. Okay, thank you very much,
and stay safe and work. Thanks. Good night. All right,
we did push the news back. I'm sorry. Here it
comes right now.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It's Night Side with Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Back we go. Let me go to Tony in Los Angeles. Tony,
you were next on Nightside.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Welcome Dan.
Speaker 13 (28:02):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm doing just great, Tony. I haven't heard from you
in a while. Good to hear your voice. What do
you think about what happened over the weekend.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
I am worried about one country. One country, Dan, which China? China?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think that's that's a legitimate concern.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Yes, I think what mister Trump did was important, had
to be done. But now what is China going to do?
Of course we don't know that, do we.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, unless China looked at what happened and said, hey,
this guy serious, I mean, that's possible. Possibly, or China
may have said, hey, he took bold action and was rewarded.
You know, assuming that that we do get a a
cessation of hostilities, China might say Hey, why shouldn't we,
(28:54):
you know, take to try to take advantage of a situation?
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Good point, No, I know, Dan. I want to say
one thing. You are the best talk show host in
the USA, in the whole world because you let people
of all different magnitudes and all different anythings speak on
your radio show.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
All view points, Tony, as you indicate, all view points
are very welcome on this program.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Yes, Dan, you are the best. Thank you for your time.
Talk to you soon, Tony.
Speaker 2 (29:23):

Bye bye, I'm right with you. God Bless America. Let

much for calling in. How are you tonight? You know
what I missed the wrong This is Maria Maria. Oh yeah, okay,

(29:53):
I'm sorry I hit the wrong button. Rob, Please apologize Maria.
I'll get to her next. Laurie, how are you. How's
everything out in Idaho? Warm? Here in Boston?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Oh yeah, you took away all our warm weather, so
it's been called. We got really actually, really well needed rain.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It's going to be one hundred tomorrow. We'll send it.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Back, Okay, I'll take it. Get a heartbeat.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
No, well, we got some really needed rain. It hadn't
rain for like three weeks, so it got some nice rain.
But it was It was forty two one Sunday, I think,
which you know, I'm not thrilled with. But we're getting
back up into the seventies. I think tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh yeah, you're gonna have and we're gonna be. Some
are saying we might be over one hundred. That's awesome,
that's awesome or awful. Yeah, I think it's awful.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
No, it's awesome. I love my heat, and lo it
is natural. I don't want the heat turned up inside
that hot, but as long as it's natural.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I'll tell you we're going to be going through a
lot of air conditioning. Those of us we are lucky
enough to have it, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Those of us who choose to use it, I don't.
Speaker 11 (30:55):
I won't touch the thing.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
That's okay. Yeah, shower and a fan and I'm good.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, I'm not a big ac guy either. To be
honest with you, Yeah, maybe you wake up in the
morning and your hand's like, oh God, why did I
do that? Why did I do that? What's your take
on the president here tonight? What do you think?
Speaker 8 (31:14):
You know?
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Saturday night and so obviously I'm three hours behind, you know,
when everybody in the East Coast heard about So I
listened to a lot of the news through the course
of the night. I am amazed, absolutely amazed that he
got this thing off with nobody knowing. I mean, I
think I don't maybe that's already been talked about enough
and nobody cares anymore. But just the specture of this
(31:35):
thing so big, and you know, now, let's send these
two little bombers ever flight where we can feed them,
and everyone else is going to go east and quietly.
And that was amazing. I mean, those the guys that
the folks that ran that, the military folks must have
been Jack when I got back. What a great mission, you.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Know, thirty seven hours in the air. And there were
women pilots involved as well as men by the way.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Yeah, so I mean amazing, amazing, and nobody shot at
them because they had that little force that went through before.
It was just brilliant. And I get so frustrated with
these congress people who are like, oh, you knew you
had to run it to the committee, you had to
run it through up. They never could have pulled it off.
It never would have stayed secret.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, absolutely, you're gonna, you know, have Elon Omar or
AOC consultant.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
They can keep their mouths shut to say their soul.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Elizabeth Warren could well, yeah, yeah, she would have said,
smoke signals up somewhere they.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Know exactly exactly whether whether Big Rug or whatever fire.
But yeah, so I kind of pleased. I don't this
this whole, so I kind of look at it with
the twelve hours twelve hours, I don't know that Israel
is allowed to actually do stuff during the next twelve hours,
(32:53):
but maybe they are allowed to be on you know,
they don't have to stand down there and stand by
in case Iran doesn't follow yeah rules for twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I really hope so. But uh, the president's statement tonight
was a little confusing in that point.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
It was that someone show, you know, he's not saying
anything that he hasn't checked in with, you know, so
he's oh, yeah, on lockstep, so he thinks.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
They joined at the hip on this one, Laurie, that's
for sure. Yes, sir, Hey, thank you so much for
calling in. I got to take a quick break here,
and I got a pack a full up calls behind you.
We're going to try to get them all in. We'll
talk soon. Okay, Thanks Laurie. Thanks, good night. All right, Rob,
I think I got to there, goes Laurie. Okay, and
(33:42):
we will go to Maria next. We're coming Maria. I apologize,
I hit your button inadvertently. You will be next up
right after the break.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
It's Night Side with Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Okay, Maria, I'm I hit the wrong button before. Welcome Marie.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
How are you hi, I'm well, Dan, thank you so
much for taking my call. You're welcome. This is my
second time calling. I called once before and ahaha, thank you.
I live up in the Finger Lakes, but I'm from
mass originally. I just I have two things and I'll
(34:22):
try to keep it real quick. The first thing is
I've been concerned about Iran for years and uh, you know,
talk about nuclear Oh no, we don't have it. Oh no,
it's none of your business.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
So they've been a.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Problem for some time, and I think it's good that
we stood up to them, and I'm I was glad
to hear Netanya Who's words of thanking us and thank
God bless America.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You know, yeah, I think that let's hope that that
what President Trump said tonight, is that there's going to
be some sort of a cease fire. I mean'd be
great if out of this there's an absolutecy's fire. We'll see.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
I just before I came into this room, on the news,
they reported that that is so far not true at
all or hasn't happened, making it sound like or I
inferred from the headline that the president wasn't telling the truth.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
So I don't know what's.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Going on, but well tended to somehow engage in hyperbole too.
It's you know, everything is this is the rightest nothing
ever has been better than this is just unbelievably good.
But you know, let's hope.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
So.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
By the way, the stock market, the futures in the
stock market, it was a good day for the stock
market today and it looks as the futures are going
to open well tomorrow, which is a pretty good indicator
as to how the market at least sees things trending.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yeah, very intable.
Speaker 9 (35:50):
We'll see if I could.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
The second thing I want to bring up is just
real brief, and this might be too off topic, but
I was falling asleep when I heard your your caller.
But by the way, great college tonight, Shane especially, but
somebody mentioned you guys were talking about Pearl Harbor and
it reminded me. Years ago I read a biography of
(36:15):
Claire booth Loose.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
You remember who she was, sure?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, she was the owner of Time magazine. Yep.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
And she was the wife of Henry.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Luce Henry Loose. So the story and the biography, and
I believe it was written by a man named Frank
Ward or Frank Sheed, you know Sheet and Ward publishers.
All right, long story short, Claire booth Loose tried to
tell the president at the time that an attack was
(36:46):
imminent by the Chinese, by the Japanese. Excuse me, and
the reason she Maybe you've heard that story.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I have not heard that specific story, but I've heard
stories that we were aware that an attack was Some
people think that we actually we're happy to use that
as an entree into the war. I never been able
to nail that down.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah, well, do you want me to tell you the
quick story or no about her. Okay, So she and
mister Luce made a trip overseas because he was raised
by missionary parents and he loved the people of China,
and they go on this big tour and on their
way back, coming to back to the US, they stop
(37:27):
and they attend this big dinner by the man who
was the head of the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
At the time, Marcos remember Marcos.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
No no, no no before him another man. And anyway,
that gentleman was very charmed by missus Luce. And they
get talking and she says, you know, aren't you concerned
about the Japanese? And he says, listen, if you ever
hear in the news that I have headed to the
hills the mountains, then you know that I know that
(38:01):
the Japanese are coming. And she just kind of tucked
that away, you know. So then they go back to
the US and okay, now we're in December of nineteen
forty one, and she reads in the papers that that
gentleman has taken to the hills, that he has completely
abandoned his people and gone to the hills, and she says,
(38:21):
she convinces her husband he's got to take the train
to Washington from New York City and go tell the
President that an attack is imminent by the Japanese. And
she convinces her husband and he does it, and the
President and his Secretary of War, I think they laughed
at him. And he went back to her and said,
(38:42):
don't you ever ask me to do something like that again.
And the next day was Pearl harborow Maria.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I got three callers behind you. I'm going to let
you go. Thanks, call again, thank you very much, very quickly.
Ron helped me out here. You got to be quick
for me. Ron, I get two behind you.
Speaker 11 (38:58):
Okay. Just things influenced my perspective at the moment number one,
when nine to eleven happened, I remember that some of
the folks in Middle East rejoicing over the fact that
this had happened to us. And two years later, I
find myself in Iran, actually not far from Tehran. I
(39:22):
can tell you my experience. Although we treated about a
thousand people, and well it's a somewhat small sample size,
I can tell you that a lot of the people
are not, you know, on board with the theocratic leaders.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Oh yeah, well, we've seen the Green Revolution over there.
We've seen that government shoot people in the streets and
shoot them, shoot them dead.
Speaker 11 (39:51):
Some of the worst individuals I have seen. I mean,
some of these folks have never seen a doctor. Their
dentician is so bad as you look into their mind,
their clothing is tattered.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Well, that can happen when you know autocrats are running
your country for forty six years or whatever the number is.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
Yeah, and so the one question I have for you
and not I'll let you go, is that you know
we had two choices.
Speaker 13 (40:18):
Wen.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
You gotta be quick. I got about I got ten
seconds left. Ron, you gotta be real quick for me.
Speaker 12 (40:22):
Hey, go ahead.
Speaker 11 (40:23):
What's the question, live in fear or do something? What's
your choice?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Do something?
Speaker 11 (40:29):
That's my point.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Thanks John, Thanks Ron, great question, great call, and thank
you very much to the callers in the line. I
really do apologize, but we had some open lines early tonight.
Wish you had gotten through. We'll make it up to
you tomorrow night. To Tim and SATCHI sorry about that,
Rob Brooks, thank you very much, Marita, thank you very much.
I'm going to do it very quick. Nice I postgame
(40:51):
at WBC. Nice I with Dan Ray about I don't
know fifteen seconds. All dogs, all cats, all pets go
to heaven. That's min Pell Charlie ray Is who passed
who fifteen years ago in fairly. That's all your pets
who are past. They loved you, you love that. I
do believe you'll see them again. Seekin in morning or nights.
That everyone have a great Tuesday. Thank you,
It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's
and News Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Where we're talking about the events of the weekend. And
the only events of the weekend that we're talking about
are the decision by the Trump administration to bomb the
three nuclear sites in Iran and what has happened in
short order apparently, and again, we're still trying to monitor
(00:29):
this as you are. We're following this story just like you.
According to the President of United States, there will be
a complete and total ceasefire a little less than an
hour from now, he put on Trump's social about six
two tonight. The congratulations everyone. It's been fully agreed by
(00:52):
and between Israel and AROUND that there will be a
complete and total ceasefire. And approximately six hours from now,
when Israel and AROUND have Israel and Iran have wound
down and completed their in progress final missions for twelve hours,
at which point the war will be considered officially ended. Officially,
Iran will start the cease fire upon the twelfth hour.
(01:15):
Israel will start the cease fire upon the twenty fourth hour.
So if I'm reading this correctly, and I don't know
that I am, as of midnight, Iran will have twelve hours. Well, no,
(01:37):
Iraq will start the cease fire, and I meaning at midnight,
and upon the twelfth hour, which would be noon tomorrow
our time, Israel will start the cease fire. And upon
the twenty fourth hour this midnight tomorrow night, an official
end of the twelve day war will be saluted by
the world. Well again, believe it when we see it,
(01:58):
but certainly, certainly that is a development that I'm sure
makes a lot of people happy, makes me happy, I'm
sure it makes people in Iran and Israel happy as well.
And who would have thunk that on Saturday night, about
forty eight hours ago, when all of us were digesting
(02:21):
the word of the attacks by the USB two bombers,
a fleet of seven B two bombers that hit these sites,
as well as some missiles fired from a US submarine offshore,
did some damage. We don't know exactly how much. The
(02:42):
presidents that obliterated using the same word that Hillary Clinton
had used. By the way, this I find kind of
interesting those of you who haven't heard this in the
last hour, Rob, I want you to play the cut
of Hillary Clinton. It's only thirty seconds. This is Hillary
Clinton from two thousand and eight, promising to attack Iran
(03:02):
and using the same word that the President used, obliterate.
Cut one oh three, Rob.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm
the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development
they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the
next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider launching
an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally
obliterate them.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
That's a terrible thing to say.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
That those people who.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Run Iran need to understand that, because that perhaps will
deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish,
and tragic.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And there were some Republicans and Democrats over the weekend
who were quick to criticize, in fact, for the Trump
administration not having complete knowledge of when what damage had
been done. This is representative Roe Kanna. He's a actually
a Philly rational Democrat on face the nation. Cut number
(03:59):
three already, please, Rob.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Now you've put American troops at risk. Now you're wasting
billions of our dollars because we're sending more troops to
the Middle East. What did you accomplish and why are
you oblivious to the American people who are sick of
these wars?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
If it turns out that Donald Trump is successful here
and has forced a ceasefire. I think mister Khanna will
be eating those words. But there was also a Republican
some guy out of Kentucky who I'd never really heard
of before, Representative Thomas Massey. He is an R after
his name cut thirty one.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
I think this what has happened, what has transpired this
week has been planned for months that you know, this
administration and maybe even the administration prior to that said,
you go in and soften them up, take out their
air defense capabilities, and then we'll send in the big bombers.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Well tell me something I couldn't figure out myself. Congressman. Yeah,
I would hope it was planned for months, and I
would hope that they kept it on the quiet on
the d LO. No sense of telling around ahead of time,
what were plans are there? These are the people who
we elect to congress in this country. Okay, let's go
(05:18):
to Will on Long Island. Hey, Will, welcome back. You're
on nightside. We'll go right ahead.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
Hey Dan, are you trying to tell me that countries
like Israel and the United States just don't go free
willy nilly bombing? Things over there and knocking out nuclear
facilities without knowing what the impact might be, not just
on the Iranian population, but the entire Middle East. You're
trying to tell me that they just don't just go
throwing bombs around. I'm in complete shock.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well that's what, that's what.
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Thank you, Thank you Congress and Massie for letting us
know that the United States just doesn't just throw bombs
around like they did I don't know in Yemen, in Syria,
in Somalia. Wait, all these acts were done with what again, Oh,
without congressional approval by Barack Obama, who actually bombs more
countries than George Bush. Yeah, Afghanistan, Pakistan. I should go
(06:13):
on and on and on and on at all the
countries that Barackobamba bombed without prior congressional approval. And now
here we are because Democrats don't think that we have
this thing called video where we get to watch. Let
me tell you a little something about Hillary Clinton when
she was when Joe Biden was in the primaries. Okay,
(06:36):
with for a part of the hates old white guys,
they really had the two oldest white guys they could
find leading that primary with Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, right.
And I remember saying to my friends, I said, you know,
I wish Hillary would come back. At the time, I
had a little show. I'm on the air, I'm talking
to people. They're yelling at me, But you if you
have somebody with a different opinion, and I asked them
(06:57):
very simply, I said, I love America more than I
love any party. And I'm not a Republican. I know
you guys don't understand that, but I'm not. And I said,
I would rather have Hillary Clinton than this Volkswagen car
full of clowns that got out juggling bulls that are
up on the stage at the primaries right now, God forbid,
Joe Biden becomes the president of the United States. Right.
(07:19):
And it was partially because of things like that that
Hillary said right there. Yes, I didn't like her. I
thought she was despicable, and I would certainly vote for
Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. But if we lost, would
we not have been in better hands with Hillary Clinton
than a demented Joe Biden or a crazy socialist like
Bernie Sanders. I mean, I love my country more than politics,
(07:42):
and I have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You're right, I mean I think that Joe Biden basically
was past his prime. It was only in an election
in twenty twenty where Joe Biden was able to stay
in his basement and not be exposed for whatever frailties
he had developed.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Then it was when the Democrats tried to cover for
him or your friends let's say, let's say your friends, right,
the people you know that are supposedly sensible Democrats, And
they started saying as the presidency went on and the
mess in Afghanistan, they started saying things like, well, we
didn't know would be this dad. Really, really, he looked
like he was in a standing a count. Every question
(08:24):
that he answered during the apartment she was saying, oh,
put the record player on. They don't know what to do, Mauge.
It was insane what I was watching. I was watching
a man stare into space. He should have been in
a nursing home, throwing jello at the orderlies for bringing
him the wrong flavor pudding or whatever. I couldn't believe
what I was watching. And we voted for that, And
now we have a president that finally did. If he
(08:47):
didn't knock out all the nuclear capabilities or whatever, he
certainly sent a message that the capabilities of Israel and
America are so far beyond. When we spoke last week,
what did we talk about, I said, and Iran's military
is severely overrated by the rest of the world. They
are a regional power at best, and they stanned absolutely
(09:09):
zero chance. The operation that we ran, we sent a
bunch of planes across the world. We refueled them in
the middle of the air. We had them drop the
bomb within a fifteen or twenty minute window and then
fly out the other side of their country without a
shot being fired at us.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, by by the way, in order to because of
each of these bombers carried two thirty thousand pounds bombs,
and each of those bombers could not get off the ground,
could not get off the ground with a full fuel tank.
So they had to keep the amount of fuel below
(09:51):
a certain level in order to get these bombers up
in the air. And that's why also they had to
do some refueling. Obviously, they had a thirty seven hour
round trip, which also was a huge.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
Fan crazy And one more thing I'd like to say about,
you know, being a sensible politician and someone that's that's
just honest Okay, that's just honest with me. I did
not agree when Pennsylvania, I thought voted for a guy
that you know, unfortunately suffered a severe stroke. I didn't
know much about him before that, Okay, but I was like,
(10:24):
you literally would rather vote for a stroked out guy
than doctor Oz? Really? Is that what we come down to?
And now after his recovery, listening to John Feederman, not
just because he's somewhat on our side, because he's just honest,
because he doesn't have to poll everything he says. He
goes out there and he says it, and it doesn't
matter if this party agrees with him. He stands with
(10:46):
Israel unapologetically. He said he would have attacked Iron. He
stands behind the president on this issue. Many of them
he disagrees with him with. These are the type of
Democrats that I used to vote for. These ones right here,
all right, Dan, thanks for having me so much time.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I appreciate it great, And I would take quick break
here one line at six one seven, two, five four
to ten thirty and the other line. We got to
double check those lines six one seven, nine three one
ten thirty. They have been very quiet tonight. Six one
seven two five, four to ten thirty just filled up,
which is great. However, you got a couple of open
lines at six, one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
(11:23):
Back on nightside, I got Octane coming up, and also Shana,
we're looking forward to those conversations coming right back on
night side.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You're on night Side with Dan ray on you Bzy
Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Hick.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Back to the phones we go. Let's go to Octane
in Brighton. Hi, Octane, how are you tonight, Dandre?
Speaker 10 (11:44):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'm doing excellent? What's your take on all of this? Octane?
Speaker 10 (11:49):
I My take on this is that I have a
question for you actually too, So why do you think
these neighbor these neighboring countries, why do you think they're
so quiet out to the stripe they that we got
to Iran? Why you think they're so quiet? Isn't that
frightening to you?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, I think, to be really honest with you, I
think it's heartening. I think that the reason these countries
are quiet they don't like Iran. They Iran has caused
problems for a lot of these countries. Iran is no
friend of Saudi Arabia, is no friend of Jordan. Iran
(12:24):
is estrange from most of the countries.
Speaker 10 (12:27):
About Afghanistan in the Middle East, well, about Afghanistan.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I think that Afghanistan and the Taliban are an interesting
group in that I don't think I think that they
are so isolated. I don't think that they do much
with any of the other Middle Eastern countries. And obviously
today Iran just threw, you know, fourteen missiles in on
(12:53):
the country of Katar, on a US air base in Qatar.
But they still decide to do that. Israel know, there's
a lot of countries over there, as I'm sure you
know the the UAE, UH, uh, Bahrain, uh and cut it,
who have established relations with Israel uh, and they're they're
(13:15):
engaging in economic uh and UH. You know passports now
or they used to be a period in time where
if you had an Israeli passport you couldn't travel to
a lot of these countries. So I think things are
getting better. You've heard of the Abraham Accords, I'm sure, so, yeah,
I think things are getting better for Israel. And I
think people are looking at Iran as a bunch of
(13:36):
nut jobs, and I think that people have come to
the conclusion, Yeah, they were all geeked when when Hyatola
hom Aani came back and they took the US hostages
and the big bad the United States was on its
back and all of that. But I think they're I
think they were afraid of Iran and they and they're
they're very happy that the US has has crippled their
(13:58):
nuclear program. Right.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
So my other question to you is that do you
think in our lifetime nine to eleven is the worst
disaster that we're going to see in this country?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well? I hope so. I mean, I think that there's
a panoply of other disasters, chemical attacks, biological radiological attacks, EMPs.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
The reason, the reason I reason I got on that
topic is because of the strike that we have put
on Iran. When with that Saturday, correct, yes, Saturday, Yeah, Okay,
they know they can't stand up to the United States militarily.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
They know that.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
So with the border ben wide open, that Joe Biden
has led all these millions of people into our country,
they're going to try to retaliate on us any kind
of way. They don't think that this is going to
go away just because we bomb them and really crippled them.
They're not going to forget about this.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I think you're right. But one of the things that
I said earlier, and I hope you heard me say this.
Do you remember when after nine to eleven, we were
told by everybody, hey, if you see something, say something,
and you know, and and there came a point in
time where people will became a little apprehensive in that.
Let's say you saw someone who happened to be Middle
(15:22):
Eastern who was acting suspiciously uh and, and you then
would be accused of, well, you're being biased towards people
because the person appeared to be Middle Eastern. And maybe
in some cases there was a bias. Maybe there was
in some cases, but that didn't make us any safer, right, right,
(15:42):
And I just.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Want to put the Democrats on Front Street. You remember
when Obama was in power in office and he put
the allowed the military to strike Lebanon. You remember that?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah? Yeah. He also he killed some other There was
a Urican citizen who had actually visited the White House
while he was president. I forget the guy's name, but
he was a he was a Muslim cleric uh and
was considered to be uh and and President Obama I
(16:16):
think hit him while he was driving with his son
in Yemen, right, and they were hit with a drone
and there was a lot of criticism or President Obama.
Speaker 10 (16:25):
Yeah right, But didn't Hillary Clinton have something to do
with that?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I don't know if if she was had authorized that
and not. I know that that Hillary Clinton was very
happy when Kadafi was taken out. She said, we came,
we saw he died. So yeah, there's a lot of
stuff going on here. You're a pretty good historian here, Octane.
Speaker 11 (16:47):
I like that, right, right?
Speaker 10 (16:50):
And one more question, one more question, Well is the
comment comment? I should say, like I said, putting those
Democrats on front Street, they didn't never want to impeach
Obama when he'd done that in Lebanon, and when Joe
Biden just flooded our country with all these wackles from
(17:10):
all over all over the world, they didn't know talk
about impeaching him. So we got a president that's actually
standing up and doing his job, but they want to
impeach him. What kind of sense does that make to you?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Well, it doesn't make sense to me. I mean, this
is a situation where obviously he he told Iran, he
sent them a letter, what's it sixty seven days ago?
It was pretty clear that everybody knew that the possibility
of a military action was there. He acted upon it
(17:47):
a little sooner than people expected. But again, unfortunately, it
used to be in this country octane. And you may
remember this, or maybe you don't. They used to say
that political dis agreements amongst the Democrats and Republicans it
was supposed to stop at the water's edge, meaning, you know,
whatever the president did, we did it, you know as
(18:10):
a country, and we But now, no matter what Trump
does is a lot of Democrats want to go after him,
and no matter what. By now there were a lot
of Republicans who want after him, and it becomes everything
is much more partisan than it ever was in this country,
right right, I agree with you on that.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
I just want to I just want to call in
and give my two cents on it, more than it was.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
More than two cents. O take How to ask you
how old are you?
Speaker 10 (18:38):
If I could ask, I'm a little younger than you.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
I'm sixty three, just a little.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I've asked you that before. You have a very young voice.
You sound like you're you know, you sound very intelligent,
but you sound like you're twenty five or thirty.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
I've been listening to you for so many years. I
used to watch you on wb Z, and that's why
I'm listen to you every night. That's what I want
to ask you. Are you live on Sunday Sunday evenings?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
No, that that's the best off is what we consider
to be the most interesting or different show. We use
that Sunday night slot at eleven o'clock to try to
reach other people who might not ordinarily be listening.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
Well, you got a big support in me, Dan Ray.
You keep it up and you got a good show.
Appreciate it very much, Shane.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Appreciate your call. Thank you much. We'll talk again. Thank
you very much. We got to take a quick break,
you know what. I'm not going to do that. I
want to go to Shana. Shane. I don't want you
to have to wait. We'll delay the news a little
bit for you. How are you tonight, Shana?
Speaker 12 (19:39):
Oh? I am good. Can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I can hear you great. Thanks for calling. And you
are the first female voice that I've heard tonight, and
I congratulate you and thank you for joining us.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
Go right ahead, I know, and a first time call.
I heard you say that about women not calling in
and off.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, first time call or Shane or all right, yeah,
well we talked about this on Friday night, and all
the calls from male callers, and you know, there's a
lot of women who who are very small, who are
really good analyst as to what's going on, and fifty
(20:15):
percent of the population as women. I want fifty percent
of my callers to be women too.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Go right ahead, Shana, all right, I guess I'll have
to call back again sometimes.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I bet you'll want you to call that nothing on
what you think tonight? Go right ahead.
Speaker 12 (20:29):
Yeah, I mean, this whole thing is unfortunate. You know,
no one wants to, in my opinion, use you know,
war and weapons when they don't have to, and innocent people,
you know, always end up getting hurts is general what happens.
But I'm also just a big proponent of science. And
I'll say upfront, you know, I don't listen to enough
politics to make a completely informed opinionedness. But what I
(20:52):
do know is, you know, if you bomb somewhere with
nuclear weapons and materials, you might end up the much
bigger whoopsie than if you had just bombed I don't know,
a regular old military base and We do not need
more nuclear explosions in this world and nuclear falla which
can reach across countries. People don't realize. And I mean,
(21:14):
I think we should have learned that from Chernobyl. But anyway,
I just think, you know, it was it's reckless to
bomb a nuclear site.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
I just you know, nuclear war.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah. Let me, just for the fun of it, ask
you devil's advocate question, and that is if if if
Iran was close to basically developing enough plutonium that they
were able to enrich and make you know, ten or
(21:50):
twelve nuclear bombs. You I'm sure know enough about that country. Uh.
And the government there, it's a it's a it's a
theocracy run by a bunch of clerics. They've said all
along that they'd love to wipe Israel off the face
of the earth. I know that it's a risk, and
(22:13):
you're right, scientifically, it's a risk when you when you bomb.
You know, you know that what we did on what
the United States did on Saturday night. But I don't
know that we could allow run to have developed nuclear
weapons and and and slept well at night.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yeah, I agree, there's no good end to this.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
You know, in an ideal world, people wouldn't be developing
nuclear bombs, and you know, the atomic bomb never would
have happened. We don't live in an ideal world.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Well, the only thing with the atomic bomb. Do you
know how many lives American lives were saved by getting
japansa suror under in nineteen forty five?
Speaker 12 (22:59):
Absolutely, absolutely, no one wins in war, No, no.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
No, absolutely, I'm with you totally. And but what I'm
saying is World War two the United States was started
with Pearl Harbor, Okay, And when Pearl Harbor occurred, uh,
it put it put the United States in a war,
and we if we had had to have invaded Japan,
(23:29):
the estimates were a million American soldiers would have died.
And so Harry Truman had a tough decision to make
and he made it terrible, terrible decision to make. But
if if Harry Truman had made that decision, maybe people
like you and I wouldn't even be alive today. If
you get my.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Drift, I totally get your drift.
Speaker 12 (23:54):
There's no good outcome of this. And you know, had
Tom Brahms and nuclear weapons never been developed, you know
we'd be having a different conversation. But I just I
just hope they don't get used. I mean, if you
have to bomb so that they don't get used, and
that's I guess that's fine. You know, what are you
gonna do?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
You know, I'm agreeing with you now all of a sudden,
you've changed your argument a little bit, which is good,
and that is that, uh, I think a run is
less likely to develop and therefore very less likely to
ever use and a nuclear weapon as a result of
what happened on Saturday night.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
You know, I mean, I totally agree. It all makes sense.
It's just it's such a it's just such a scary process.
I mean again, you know, just just the use of
these weapons is so scary because you know, it's not
just bombing. You know an area and you know thousands die,
and it's fire and exclusion. You get into these nuclear weapons.
(24:53):
It's just such a whole at a ball game, and
you have mushroom clouds and radiation under filed.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I was in Poland as a as a TV reporter
in nineteen eighty six, just a couple of months after Chernobyl,
So believe me, I know what you're talking about in
terms of that that leak, that radioactive leak from Chernobyl.
(25:21):
So yeah, hey, SHANEA. I loved your call. I hope
you continue to listen to us more and call more often.
Could I could I be bold and ask you how
you are, because I'm always looking for younger callers, and
yourself a younger woman.
Speaker 12 (25:37):
I am great. I'm I'm thirty six. I just pulled
into a construction site I'm working at, so I'm going
to get to work shortly. But I do have another
couple of really quick questions. Well, I don't even know
what times and days of the week your show is.
That's a kibid question.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
But eight to midnight Monday through Friday, all right?
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Cool?
Speaker 12 (26:00):
I only, I mean it only started working nights a
couple of months ago. So it's it's been It's been
a pleasure listening to you, and I appreciate it. Another
call off. I'm just super curious by the sound of
some of the callers. And again I'm not going to
find anybody, but just like it's it's it's funny to me.
Do some people call you drunk?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
No, I we we do not let people drunk on
the air. There there are a lot of people we've
learned over the years. I've done this for a while. Uh,
some people get nervous, but no, we can tell. We're
able to tell people when when when they're drunk, and
that's not what we want to do here on night side.
If someone wants to if someone's maybe had a beer
(26:44):
and they're able to haverry a decent conversation, I'm not
the alcohol police. But if someone calls up and and
and they're under the weather, as we would say, we
very politely asked them to call another time. Simple is that? Okay?
Speaker 12 (26:58):
I was just curious because some of these and just
everyone has their opinion. But to be frank, some of
it's just so comical, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Well again, one other thing we do in this program
is we invite all points of view. We don't cut
people off and allow people to express themselves. I get
criticized for that sometimes, but the whole idea of this
program is I don't care what you think. I just
care you thinking. That's what I mean. What I mean
by that is I want people who are thinking. That's all.
I want everyone to think. I don't care what concluded.
Speaker 12 (27:28):
I totally agree with that.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
I totally agree with that.
Speaker 12 (27:31):
I think everyone's opinion to be heard, and it was
very interesting for that reason.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, thank you very much, Thanks SHANEA. We'll talk soon.
Stay be good call soon. Okay, thank you very much,
and stay safe and work. Thanks. Good night. All right,
we did push the news back. I'm sorry. Here it
comes right now.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It's Night Side with Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Back we go. Let me go to Tony in Los Angeles. Tony,
you were next on Nightside.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Welcome Dan.
Speaker 13 (28:02):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm doing just great, Tony. I haven't heard from you
in a while. Good to hear your voice. What do
you think about what happened over the weekend.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
I am worried about one country. One country, Dan, which China? China?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think that's that's a legitimate concern.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Yes, I think what mister Trump did was important, had
to be done. But now what is China going to do?
Of course we don't know that, do we.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, unless China looked at what happened and said, hey,
this guy serious, I mean, that's possible. Possibly, or China
may have said, hey, he took bold action and was rewarded.
You know, assuming that that we do get a a
cessation of hostilities, China might say Hey, why shouldn't we,
(28:54):
you know, take to try to take advantage of a situation?
Speaker 9 (28:57):
Good point, No, I know, Dan. I want to say
one thing. You are the best talk show host in
the USA, in the whole world because you let people
of all different magnitudes and all different anythings speak on
your radio show.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
All view points, Tony, as you indicate, all view points
are very welcome on this program.
Speaker 9 (29:19):
Yes, Dan, you are the best. Thank you for your time.
Talk to you soon, Tony.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I will talk with you soon.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
And God bless America.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Dan, looking forward to seating back in Boston sometime.
Speaker 9 (29:30):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Bye bye, I'm right with you. God Bless America. Let
me go to Laurie in Idaho. Laurie, thank you very
much for calling in. How are you tonight? You know
what I missed the wrong This is Maria Maria. Oh yeah, okay,
we put Maria. I'm Marius, Laurie. Now we get Laurie.
(29:53):
I'm sorry I hit the wrong button. Rob, Please apologize Maria.
I'll get to her next. Laurie, how are you. How's
everything out in Idaho? Warm? Here in Boston?
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Oh yeah, you took away all our warm weather, so
it's been called. We got really actually, really well needed rain.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
It's going to be one hundred tomorrow. We'll send it.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
Back, Okay, I'll take it. Get a heartbeat.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
No, well, we got some really needed rain. It hadn't
rain for like three weeks, so it got some nice rain.
But it was It was forty two one Sunday, I think,
which you know, I'm not thrilled with. But we're getting
back up into the seventies. I think tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh yeah, you're gonna have and we're gonna be. Some
are saying we might be over one hundred. That's awesome,
that's awesome or awful. Yeah, I think it's awful.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
No, it's awesome. I love my heat, and lo it
is natural. I don't want the heat turned up inside
that hot, but as long as it's natural.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I'll tell you we're going to be going through a
lot of air conditioning. Those of us we are lucky
enough to have it, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Those of us who choose to use it, I don't.
Speaker 11 (30:55):
I won't touch the thing.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
That's okay. Yeah, shower and a fan and I'm good.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, I'm not a big ac guy either. To be
honest with you, Yeah, maybe you wake up in the
morning and your hand's like, oh God, why did I
do that? Why did I do that? What's your take
on the president here tonight? What do you think?
Speaker 8 (31:14):
You know?
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Saturday night and so obviously I'm three hours behind, you know,
when everybody in the East Coast heard about So I
listened to a lot of the news through the course
of the night. I am amazed, absolutely amazed that he
got this thing off with nobody knowing. I mean, I
think I don't maybe that's already been talked about enough
and nobody cares anymore. But just the specture of this
(31:35):
thing so big, and you know, now, let's send these
two little bombers ever flight where we can feed them,
and everyone else is going to go east and quietly.
And that was amazing. I mean, those the guys that
the folks that ran that, the military folks must have
been Jack when I got back. What a great mission, you.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Know, thirty seven hours in the air. And there were
women pilots involved as well as men by the way.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Yeah, so I mean amazing, amazing, and nobody shot at
them because they had that little force that went through before.
It was just brilliant. And I get so frustrated with
these congress people who are like, oh, you knew you
had to run it to the committee, you had to
run it through up. They never could have pulled it off.
It never would have stayed secret.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, absolutely, you're gonna, you know, have Elon Omar or
AOC consultant.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
They can keep their mouths shut to say their soul.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Elizabeth Warren could well, yeah, yeah, she would have said,
smoke signals up somewhere they.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Know exactly exactly whether whether Big Rug or whatever fire.
But yeah, so I kind of pleased. I don't this
this whole, so I kind of look at it with
the twelve hours twelve hours, I don't know that Israel
is allowed to actually do stuff during the next twelve hours,
(32:53):
but maybe they are allowed to be on you know,
they don't have to stand down there and stand by
in case Iran doesn't follow yeah rules for twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I really hope so. But uh, the president's statement tonight
was a little confusing in that point.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
It was that someone show, you know, he's not saying
anything that he hasn't checked in with, you know, so
he's oh, yeah, on lockstep, so he thinks.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
They joined at the hip on this one, Laurie, that's
for sure. Yes, sir, Hey, thank you so much for
calling in. I got to take a quick break here,
and I got a pack a full up calls behind you.
We're going to try to get them all in. We'll
talk soon. Okay, Thanks Laurie. Thanks, good night. All right, Rob,
I think I got to there, goes Laurie. Okay, and
(33:42):
we will go to Maria next. We're coming Maria. I apologize,
I hit your button inadvertently. You will be next up
right after the break.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
It's Night Side with Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Okay, Maria, I'm I hit the wrong button before. Welcome Marie.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
How are you hi, I'm well, Dan, thank you so
much for taking my call. You're welcome. This is my
second time calling. I called once before and ahaha, thank you.
I live up in the Finger Lakes, but I'm from
mass originally. I just I have two things and I'll
(34:22):
try to keep it real quick. The first thing is
I've been concerned about Iran for years and uh, you know,
talk about nuclear Oh no, we don't have it. Oh no,
it's none of your business.
Speaker 9 (34:35):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
So they've been a.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Problem for some time, and I think it's good that
we stood up to them, and I'm I was glad
to hear Netanya Who's words of thanking us and thank
God bless America.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You know, yeah, I think that let's hope that that
what President Trump said tonight, is that there's going to
be some sort of a cease fire. I mean'd be
great if out of this there's an absolutecy's fire. We'll see.
Speaker 9 (35:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
I just before I came into this room, on the news,
they reported that that is so far not true at
all or hasn't happened, making it sound like or I
inferred from the headline that the president wasn't telling the truth.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
So I don't know what's.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Going on, but well tended to somehow engage in hyperbole too.
It's you know, everything is this is the rightest nothing
ever has been better than this is just unbelievably good.
But you know, let's hope.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
So.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
By the way, the stock market, the futures in the
stock market, it was a good day for the stock
market today and it looks as the futures are going
to open well tomorrow, which is a pretty good indicator
as to how the market at least sees things trending.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yeah, very intable.
Speaker 9 (35:50):
We'll see if I could.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
The second thing I want to bring up is just
real brief, and this might be too off topic, but
I was falling asleep when I heard your your caller.
But by the way, great college tonight, Shane especially, but
somebody mentioned you guys were talking about Pearl Harbor and
it reminded me. Years ago I read a biography of
(36:15):
Claire booth Loose.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
You remember who she was, sure?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, she was the owner of Time magazine. Yep.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
And she was the wife of Henry.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Luce Henry Loose. So the story and the biography, and
I believe it was written by a man named Frank
Ward or Frank Sheed, you know Sheet and Ward publishers.
All right, long story short, Claire booth Loose tried to
tell the president at the time that an attack was
(36:46):
imminent by the Chinese, by the Japanese. Excuse me, and
the reason she Maybe you've heard that story.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I have not heard that specific story, but I've heard
stories that we were aware that an attack was Some
people think that we actually we're happy to use that
as an entree into the war. I never been able
to nail that down.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah, well, do you want me to tell you the
quick story or no about her. Okay, So she and
mister Luce made a trip overseas because he was raised
by missionary parents and he loved the people of China,
and they go on this big tour and on their
way back, coming to back to the US, they stop
(37:27):
and they attend this big dinner by the man who
was the head of the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
At the time, Marcos remember Marcos.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
No no, no no before him another man. And anyway,
that gentleman was very charmed by missus Luce. And they
get talking and she says, you know, aren't you concerned
about the Japanese? And he says, listen, if you ever
hear in the news that I have headed to the
hills the mountains, then you know that I know that
(38:01):
the Japanese are coming. And she just kind of tucked
that away, you know. So then they go back to
the US and okay, now we're in December of nineteen
forty one, and she reads in the papers that that
gentleman has taken to the hills, that he has completely
abandoned his people and gone to the hills, and she says,
(38:21):
she convinces her husband he's got to take the train
to Washington from New York City and go tell the
President that an attack is imminent by the Japanese. And
she convinces her husband and he does it, and the
President and his Secretary of War, I think they laughed
at him. And he went back to her and said,
(38:42):
don't you ever ask me to do something like that again.
And the next day was Pearl harborow Maria.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I got three callers behind you. I'm going to let
you go. Thanks, call again, thank you very much, very quickly.
Ron helped me out here. You got to be quick
for me. Ron, I get two behind you.
Speaker 11 (38:58):
Okay. Just things influenced my perspective at the moment number one,
when nine to eleven happened, I remember that some of
the folks in Middle East rejoicing over the fact that
this had happened to us. And two years later, I
find myself in Iran, actually not far from Tehran. I
(39:22):
can tell you my experience. Although we treated about a
thousand people, and well it's a somewhat small sample size,
I can tell you that a lot of the people
are not, you know, on board with the theocratic leaders.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Oh yeah, well, we've seen the Green Revolution over there.
We've seen that government shoot people in the streets and
shoot them, shoot them dead.
Speaker 11 (39:51):
Some of the worst individuals I have seen. I mean,
some of these folks have never seen a doctor. Their
dentician is so bad as you look into their mind,
their clothing is tattered.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Well, that can happen when you know autocrats are running
your country for forty six years or whatever the number is.
Speaker 11 (40:10):
Yeah, and so the one question I have for you
and not I'll let you go, is that you know
we had two choices.
Speaker 13 (40:18):
Wen.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
You gotta be quick. I got about I got ten
seconds left. Ron, you gotta be real quick for me.
Speaker 12 (40:22):
Hey, go ahead.
Speaker 11 (40:23):
What's the question, live in fear or do something? What's
your choice?
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Do something?
Speaker 11 (40:29):
That's my point.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Thanks John, Thanks Ron, great question, great call, and thank
you very much to the callers in the line. I
really do apologize, but we had some open lines early tonight.
Wish you had gotten through. We'll make it up to
