Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. Well,
we have talked about suicide for the last hour or so,
and I'm going to finish by not talking about suicide.
It's interesting, I think every night when I do this
program called Nightside, it's a little bit of a social

(00:24):
experiment for me to try to figure out what people
want to talk about. So I'll give you a couple
of options here as we finish our last twenty minutes,
I'll give you an option of open lines. If you'd
like whatever subject you'd like to talk about, bring it up.
That's fine. But I want to ask some questions about
this latest suspect, the guy who's been arrested for the

(00:47):
alleged assassination attempt. Then I think it was an assassination
attempt on Donald Trump on Sunday, And the questions that
I have is how long is it going to for
our agencies, including Secret Service and the FBI, to come

(01:08):
up with a picture that they're going to present to
the American people. What we know about the guy, his
name is Ryan Roathrout, fifty eight years of age. This
is not a twenty year old kid like the kid
in Butler Pennsylvania. The twenty year old kid himself is

(01:30):
pretty suspicious because he had these abilities I guess through
the Internet link with people in other parts of the world,
and I guess the CIA, the FBI has not been
able to crack the code on him. It's been two
months now as to whether or not he was working

(01:52):
with any sort of a foreign government or individuals from
a foreign government. So that's number one. But this dude,
the guy yesterday of the weekend on Sunday, he's out
there for twelve hours. Now. I think you've all seen
pictures of this, and all of us have passed by
golf courses in Massachusetts and you can you know you're

(02:15):
going by a golf course and you know, hell, that's
a golf course. Look at that. Very nice. But the
Marlago golf course has all of these privets, these trees,
a chain link fence. But somehow he spent twelve hours there.
This guy, who apparently hasn't worked anywhere I mean that
I know of or that has been reported, moved to

(02:39):
Hawaii in twenty eighteen, so all of these questions, and
then he was in in Ukraine, in Kiev. I guess
at least two trips, maybe more protesting in Washington, d C.
Long criminal record. A retired police officer go to The
New York Times pulled them over in twenty two, thousand

(03:01):
and two recall shouting show me your hands. As this officer,
a female officer, I got close to his pickup, she
saw him reaching into a Duffel bag which had a
gun inside. Though this guy, this guy has quite a background.
The traffic scop led to an arm standoff and a
conviction for him. For this guy, mister Ruth, on charge

(03:24):
of possessing a weapon of mass death and destruction an
explosive device. This is all in the New York Times.
The retired police officer, her name is Tracy folk f Ulk.
He did never driver's licenses. Investigators suspect that he had

(03:45):
an explosive device. So an officer, Tracy Fulk saw him
driving near Greensboro Coliseum on a cold day in December
twenty two. She pulled them over. As she got close
to the small pickup she saw reaching into the Duffel bag,
Show me your hands. She retired in twenty seventeen after
nearly two decades on the force. She recounted the interview

(04:09):
with the New York Times. So this dude has lived
amongst us with apparently no means of visible support. I've
read nothing about him that he worked in this I
don't know where's his money coming from, Who's allowing him
to fly to Hawaii? These are the questions that I

(04:30):
think definitely need to be asked.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
If you'd like to talk about that, I'd love to
talk about it. If you want to talk a little
open lines, we'll talk about it. We have about fifteen
or sixteen or seventeen minutes left. How long is it
going to take Because we have an attention spanning America
of about a flea, meaning the general public, we will
forget this dude's name. Most of us have forgotten the

(04:53):
name of the kid in in July in Butler, Pennsylvania.
And why why do we not know? We should know
everything about this guy with look, my simple question is
how long is it going to take us to figure
out what was who was supporting him? Okay, this this

(05:18):
guy was too much of a world traveler. Takes money
to fly to Ukraine a couple of times, takes money
to live in Hawaii, the most expensive state in the
country to live. So I got questions. If you want
to respond to my questions, that's great. I'll respond to yours.
We'll wrap it up right after this break Here on Nightside,
my name is Dan Ray. We spend a lot of

(05:38):
time on suicide tonight. I hope it has helped a
lot of people who didn't call. I know the people
who did call this last hour Frank and South Boston,
darylnd New Brunswick, Canada, and Clara and Florida have helped people,
all in different ways. Back on Nightside, right after this,
I got an open line at six one, seven four,

(05:58):
ten thirty and I got two at six month, seven
ninth thirty. Let's fill him up back after.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
This now back to Dan Ray line from the Window
World night Side Studios on w b Z to news radio.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
The great article in the New York Times, which would
probably be in the newspaper tomorrow. A background on this
sky Ryan Wesley Ruth. There's a lot to be known
about him. Uh And I gotta tell you there's a
backstory here. There's somebody who was spending money for this guy.

(06:33):
He said in court today that he was making three
thousand dollars a month. Well, that would mean he has
an income of thirty six thousand dollars a year. That's
two round a figure for someone who's making thirty six
k living in Hawaii, flying back home to vote in
the North Carolina Democratic primary to then be in Ukraine

(06:53):
doesn't add up. Let's go to John and Braintree. Hey, John,
welcome to night's that.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
How are you saying?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Hey Dan, longtime no call? Captain Hindsight, how are you man?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Captain Hindsight? I remember you well, you were you were
a great caller, and you go right ahead. Would you
like to talk about John?

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Before I got one second to thank those calls, echo
your sentiments of how many people they must have helped,
and I urged them to keep doing what they did,
and uh, they.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Were really great. And it takes courage to kind of
put it out there. And I wish more people have
called about the issue, to be really honestly, I'm a
little disappointed in that, but that's that's what you do
want talk radio. Sometimes you gamble and so, but it.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Was comportant and probably helped so many people. Maybe you
could do it once a month, you know, it would
be well, think you're serving it. It's a great service
you're doing even if you're not getting a lot of calls.
I think it was a tremendous service for everyone listening.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, I appreciate that. What what are you calling about?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Well, I wanted to mention one. I echo everything you
said about this, uh, wanting to know everything about the
person except one thing, Dan, And I'm almost thinking a
running for office one of these days before I die.
I want to run on a platform that no one
who commits a mass murder or any crazy stuff like
these people, so their names should never be published. They

(08:13):
should be twenty twenty four number one jerk or no.
Twenty twenty four number three, that they should I'm afraid
too many of them and I don't know this for
a fact. It's my old guess.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I think too.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Many of them may be doing it for the notoriety,
and it treaks the crap out of me. I was
wondering how you felt about that.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well, Captain Heinzie, believe it or not, I agree with
you on that. As a matter of fact, when we
talk about Boston bomber number two, that's how we refer
to him. Why not here refer to him here on Nightside.
I had no interest in this little punk is still
alive eleven years later, you know, living out at super
max in Colorado. He was tried, convicted, he confessed to

(08:57):
the crime, and the only question is should he get
the death penalty. And now as lawyers are making a
last minute appeal basically saying that a couple of people
in the jury might have actually had an opinion and
they should have been disqualified, I get it. That's what
lawyers do. Lawyers try to make sure that every tea
has crossed and I has dotted. But I'm with you.

(09:19):
If you run for public office, doctor Hindsight, I will
endorse you are your opponent, which ever helps you more.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I promise well, listen, hy great and keep doing a
great work you do.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Man.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Thank you, doctor hind Captain Hindsight, excuse me, I promoted
you there call more often. I've always enjoyed our conversations.
Thank you, my friend.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
All Right, Dan, have a great night. Thank you you too.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Let's go to Phil in Boston. Phil, appreciate your call.
You next on nightside right head film.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, I'm guessing the first thing with the sulicide, a
lot of people don't want to call up because they're
much feel ashamed and shunned and all that stuff. But
about the shooting and shooting and flower the president, that
guy was packed. They're the golf course owned by Trump
for twelve hours. He almost got away with it. If

(10:07):
some neighbor put a note on the made a note
of the guy's plate, it was it was stolen, a
stolen plate attacked to his vehicle. He left his gun
behind and that other stuff. The double was obliterated of
the number he was. This guy sounds crazy, but he's
probably a head man who knows. But I mean, with

(10:29):
all this fiersy stuff, they can't afford a few dogs
and only droll. I don't know he's perfect, but they
can't afford a couple of gym and shepherds stiff around
and look at both sides of the fence.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I mean, yeah, no, let me just say I agree
with you totally. That I've watched, just like you have
the videotape. And that road, that where he had hidden
himself on those trees, that's a pretty busy role. I
may have driven by that road. I've been in that

(11:02):
section of Florida and didn't even realize it. I'd love
to know where he parked his truck. And it was
talked there for twelve hours. How come someone didn't say, hey,
you know, what's this truck doing here? I mean, it's
it's it's I'm trying to It's almost like you were
you parked your truck on the side of let's let's
talk about something that all of us can relate to.

(11:25):
You parked your truck on the side of soldiers Field Road,
big road, big street, big road. It wouldn't stay there.
They would have they would want to know. I don't
know how it happened. And then how does this guy
travel uh, halfway around the world to Hawaii. He lives
in Hawaii, comes back to North Carolina to voting the
Democratic primary. He voted in the Democratic primary this this February.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Gun Restreck and he's gonna vote cheap yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
And then he's in next thing, he's in Ukraine. Can
you imagine how difficult it must be to get to
Ukraine or to get to Kiev.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
These days, visa all that stuff. I'm guessing absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
He got over there twice. And then I saw pictures
of being protesting outside of the capitol. And he was
arrested in two thousand and two for having an explosive device.
He was involved in a standoff. Look, you and I,
Phil get a parking ticket, We get a parking ticket.
I'm terrified that if I don't pay the parking ticket

(12:34):
or exactly the next time you're supposed to hear in
Massachusetts real license at the R and V, someone's gonna say,
oh you. And by the way, let's assume that they
say to you, hey, Phil, you got a parking ticket
in North Adams, Massachusetts. And you say, I've never been
to North Adams, Massachusets. Do you know what They're gonna say, Well,

(12:55):
you gotta go out there and get it cleared away.
You gotta drive out to North Adams, Massachusett has improved
to them that you were never there, and the party
think it it's illegitimate before you get your license. That's
what's going on in Massachusetts.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
No, why the guys that do the stuff and the
bad guys that get in the world.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Something, something's wrong something. And by the way, this thing stinks.
This guy down there, Okay, this should be this should
be a total scrub of this guy's background. We should
know everything about him. And and the longer that we
don't know, the more it's gonna lead to people talking
about conspiracy.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
But the sitles didn't happen so much. I've already forgotten
about the guy that gets shot outside Newton Center, right
next to the police station. The guy's attacked and he
has a gun apparently, and the gun goes off. The
guy that attack him get shot and he gets shot
us so bad.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
We'll follow up. We'll follow you know. Let me tell you, Phil,
I give you my word. We will keep on top
of all of these stories on that side.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
You got right of it.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Okay, all Phil, I'm up against it. So I got
to let you go, but very much thank you for calling.
Phil's frustrations are obvious. My frustrations are obvious. We had
done for the night, Rob Brooks, great job, Marita, thank
you very much for your help. Today. We're back tomorrow night.
We're going to be talking at nine o'clock tomorrow night
with whether or not there should be a machine gun

(14:20):
range for the Massachusetts National Guard. On the kit, all
dogs aalk couts, all pets go to heaven. And that's
my pal Charlie Rais, who passed fourteen years ago in February.
That's where your pets are who passed they loved you,
and you love that. I do believe you'll see them again.
