Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
So we're talking, and we may talk briefly if people
are not interested. I think this is an important story
because it does show that we as a country we
have to be on guard. Let me again congratulations to
the US Attorney's Office and to the FBI and to
(00:31):
the all the agencies and Department of Justice who were
involved in this effort. Let me go next to Wayne
in Brocklyn. Wayne, you were next on Nightside. Dan.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I got a new phone yesterday and you are the
first person I've had off speaker and it sounds loud
and clear.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
That's great. What type of phone?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Just an iPhone? I had an iPhone seven and it's funny.
When I went into the guy, he's like, this is
nine years old. I came to America nine years ago,
and I'm like, really, I've had it for that long
and it's working. So now it's an iPhone thirteen and
everything is bigger and brighter.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, this is the planned obsolescence that we have in America. Unfortunately,
they just keep pushing more stuff for people for all
of us to buy. But whatever I mean, did you
cost you a lot of money?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
No?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
No, no, I mean it was like it was probably
like it was a Horizon trade in or something. It's
meant conditioned. But so this third what I have is
at thirteen, then they have fourteen, fifteen. Now they're on sixteens.
And believe me, like I said, mine was almost ten
years old. I don't need a new one. But you can't.
(01:44):
It's like your eighty three Chevelle. You can't find parts
for it anymore. So one day you need to give
it up real quick. On this.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I was talking to a friend of mine today who,
believe it or not, was having trouble with his power
steering and as he was driving today, the steering wheel
came off lat Why and thank god, thank god it's
(02:14):
an older car obviously, but thank god that he was
not on the mass Turnpike or one twenty eight or four.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I mean, that's insane. I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I haven't either. I called me later today he says,
you won't believe what happened to me today. And he
was he was driving in a community, was able to
pull over the side of the road. How he did
that without a steering wheel? I have no idea, but
just unbelievable. So tell, let's talk about this arrest. Hats
off to the authorities. This is a this is a
(02:49):
good one.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
So I haven't I've heard a little bit about it,
but it's just bringing me back to every year when
we hear nine to eleven nether Fort. There was a
paper trail on all of those hijackers. That's probably why
we didn't find them, but we could identify them and maybe,
you know, trace their sources or their motivations or whatever.
(03:12):
Now this guy here from Natick, he was a homeowner, right,
did you say he was a business owner.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I don't know what this guy was. The guy who
was over in Iran, he owned this business that interacted
with the Revolutionary Guard. And according to the allegations, this
guy in Natick, this is a guy living in Natick, Massachusetts.
You know who. You would think, even though he's Iranian,
that he would say, thank god, I'm living in Natick, Massachusetts,
(03:42):
and thank god that living in Iran. But somehow, yeah,
but so money.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
So him him living in Natick. Once again, he's he's
got a paper trail a mile long. My thing is
and it comes back to the sang ctuary state here
and the millions and upon millions of people in this country.
We have no idea who they are, and I mean,
God forbid that the day and it almost seems like
(04:12):
an inevitable certainty that something's going to happen. How are
they gonna, you know, trace them or find their paper
trail or know where they came from or where they're going.
And it's and I blame this all on Democrats for
leaving the border open. And that's my speech to agree with.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You, I mean, I happen to agree with you. That
border has been wide open. We have no idea what's
come across, We have no idea who's come across it.
And you know, everybody will say, well, we have bad
people in this country, and and well that's fine, but
we don't need more bad people coming into the country illegally.
And this whole push of sanctuary cities here in Massachusetts,
(04:55):
it's going to blow up in the face of the
Democratic pood as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
But again, the fact that there are the bad people
in this country, like the guy in New York that
shot the health executive there, he had a paper trail mill.
Not long we knew who he was. All of these
people that we don't know anyway. I wish you merry Christmas, sir,
and Christmas to.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
You as well. Well. Appreciate it very much.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
You take care, Dan, we'll talk so have a great night.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Goodn Again. This is an issue that is a particular
concern to my next calla Patrick from the District of Columbia.
And we have just allowed so many people to come
into this country with no knowledge of who they are,
where they're from. And the vast majority of them, I'm
sure are good people coming here for all the right reasons.
But within that group, there is a subset of people
(05:48):
who are coming here for the wrong reasons. And this
guy in Natick, if the allegations are true, and obviously
he enjoys the presumption of innocence like anyone does in
this country. But I don't know how this guy can
sleep at night if he realizes, maybe he doesn't, that
the relationship he had with this guy back in tron
(06:11):
may have committed direct contribution to the deaths of three
US service people from the state of Georgia. There. I
guess there were National Guard members from Georgia who basically
died in their in their bugs at night because they
were able to fly this this soun drone uh into
the into the barracks. Let's go to Patrick in DC. Patrick.
(06:35):
This is exactly what we've been talking about many times.
Go right ahead, Patrick, I know, sir.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And again another subject that catches my ear. This is
what emboldens our enemy is that we don't have tight
controls on things like this. And I hope that this
case exposes the way that this technology and can leak
out of the country and be.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Used against us.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
That this is very important. I think when they look
at the trail, how this technology and how the stuff
can get in our enemy's hands. This is stuff that
we produce here in our country. They're taking our stuff
and then turning it around and using it against us.
You know, anytime you can come up with a pathway
to stop that is you know, has my loss, my
(07:21):
money's going to.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
The right people.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Well, the funny thing about it is that right now,
with what's been going on in the Middle East, Hezbollah
has been decimated, Hamas has been decimated, thank you very much.
Prime Minister Benjamin net Yahoo independently, Syria has fallen, the
House of Asade has crumbled. He's living in Russia, which
(07:43):
is fine, by the way, it was interesting. Donald Trump
made a comment and if I can pull this comment here,
Rob will be able to play it for me, which
was which was a very interesting comment. He was asked
about again this is a little bit off topic, but
it really does work here. Uh, the president was asked
(08:04):
in I guess it was down. Now, why have I
lost this here? Yeah? He said. He was asked at
his press conference yesterday about Bashar al Assade. This is
cut number twelve. Asad has fled to Russia. He's been
given sanctuary by Putin. You know, two bad guys. And
(08:28):
President Trump was asked if he's going to ask Putin
to give up a Shahrassad al Assade, and this was
Trump's answer, cut twelve, please.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Rob, You said, well, you make that deal before you
take office.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
You still think you can make that deal, Will you
ask soon to give up a Sad?
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Well, I haven't thought of it. I think we have
to get on with our lives. I'll have to see
what happens. But right now, Siria has a lot of
you know, there's a lot of indefinites. Nobody knows what's
going to happen in this area. But I think Turkey
is going to hold the Cajus area extra. I don't
think you've heard that from anybody else, but I've been
pretty good at predicting.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
So what he basically said was, you know, we need
to get on with our lives. And I had I
agree with him. I don't know what you think, Patrick,
but I have no interest in dragging a side back
here and putting him on some sort of trial back here.
First of all, Putin is not going to surrender her.
Number One, A stupid question from the from the reporter,
It's like the Trump. All they're trying to do now
(09:33):
is is badger Trump and ask him questions that it's
not in our national interest to bring us side back here.
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Well, and it's not even in our communication interest for
that question, which is kind of stupid question, i'lcohol go
along and agree with you. But the Obama administration, then
the first Trump administration, and then the Biden administration still
did not have the backbone to understand how to play
chess with that dirty Russian by not trying to get
(10:03):
Edward Snowden back to stop Edward Snowden from contributing against
US to Russia you know so, No, No, that was
a stupid question. The side that doesn't do us any good,
but uh throwing uh throwing us a little bit of
a chess blackmail towards puting with getting Edward Snowden back
away from him.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah. I mean, if if if we for some reason
wanted to bring a side back here, okay and put
him on some sort of a show trial. Uh, all
that's going to do is you're going to have some
aside loyalist decide that they're gonna they're gonna strike American
interests overseas. Hey, a side's done. He's let him go
live in Russia, eat boys for the rest of his
(10:44):
life and die of miserable death and exile.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
That's how I love.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
That was the one man in civilization that had the
potential to help people who turned out we want evil,
evil evil.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
All right, Thank you, Merry Christmas. Do you Patrick appreciate it?
Thank you so much. We'll talk soon. Good night. When
we get back. We'll talk with Al and Daryl. Even
have room for you. I'm going to change topics at eleven.
I want to talk about why Massachusetts has the worst
car drivers in America. But I agree we are the
(11:20):
worst drivers, but not for the reason you think. We'll
talk about that after eleven. In the meantime, we got
Al and Daryl coming up, and I get some room
for you at six one seven or six one seven nine. Again,
hats off to the Justice Department for what they have
accomplished in this case. Three US soldiers are dead. Uh,
(11:41):
and if the allegations are true, it's as a result
of what in part a US national, Iranian American national
living in Natick was able to pull off in conjunction
with a bad guy from Tehran. We'll be back on
night Side right after this.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Now, Dan Ray live from the Window World night Side
Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
All right, let's get everybody in here and they will
wrap this discussion. I just think again, hats off to
the to the FBI, to the Department of Justice on
this one. Darryl and New Brunswick. Darryl next on Nisager.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Right ahead, Hey, Dan, reference one of your last callers
reference to steering wheel coming off.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Okay, Yeah, Well, I'm just I'm going with it because
I was watching the series of Hogan's serials and Sergeant
Schultz actually had the steering wheel come off, right.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Okay, but it goes back.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I didn't know what we're talking about, but that's I
mentioned that parenthetically, go.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Ahead, okay, but with the intelligence that's what you need.
Because if you've ever seen a show called Border Security,
I actually have a recording of a Canadian, a couple
of guys coming over to the Niagara border and the
(13:07):
US border officer asked, what's your income? Well, we're on
welfare with the Canadian government. But they had forty thousand
dollars in some PayPal account, so they were refused entry.
And so we don't know who's coming in, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
There's no doubt about that. I mean again, our borders
are wide open. I don't know how would your situation
is up there. Do you have a lot of people
coming in up there as well?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
At present? Right now? No, but you can actually tell
people that are coming in. But I will tell you
something that's really stupid. In the Canadian law, if you
can come into Canada without being acknowledged within fourteen days,
on the fifteenth day, you can claim refugee status and
(14:01):
they'll put you in for a que and you'll you
won't see a guy for four years.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
That does sound stupid.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
No, that's the way the system. That's the way the
system is.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, well, you have an immigration problem there in Canada.
I'm a I'm familiar with that and you've had a
lot of problems uh in in Canada over the years.
So yeah, but a lot of you have the separatists
in uh in Quebec. I don't know where that's is.
And recently but they literally try to to leave the
(14:37):
leave Canada.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No, that was years ago, I know. But but right now,
uh reference the other color. Do not invite Trudeau because
he was actually has to resign by a bunch of
his old ministers, right and uh President, he's actually being
an he's being like Trump.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Is now referring to him as the governor of the
fifty first state. I'm sure you've you've heard of seen
that I've left it that's being received.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Well that that's a joke. But at the same time,
you guys can be the eleven province, right, you can
be got the what eleven province?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, I think I got to run. Thanks man, I
gotta get one more. And it's always nice to hear
you always, Thanks very much. Let me go to Alan Cambridge,
al bring me back to what we're talking about. Place,
go ahead, happen.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Yeah, Dan Ray, what I'm saying is could always talk
about everybody coming to America. America needs to stop bad
mouth and everybody that's here because look at the history
of how America came here. I mean, yesterday we just
had another high school shooting. Well, I ain't know all
those other people you talk about coming from over the border.
(15:54):
He's doing the shootings in the school. We have to
look at the way Mitch, America itself became a and
now we don't even want today Columbus state no more.
That ain't gonna help them. Maratica could become a better place.
You look at January sixth, it wasn't form. Are all
those people come across the border? That's something did well.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
We have problems. We have problems here at the point,
and you're you're a great caller because you're making the
point I want to make, and that is this. Do
we have problems domestically. Absolutely. Do we have people who
break the law here? Absolutely. Do we have Americans who
deserve to be incarcerated, Absolutely, But we don't need more
people coming here for the and particularly those who are
(16:35):
coming here and who are breaking the laws. We have
gangs coming in here from Central America. We have gangs
coming in from Venezuela. We're a wide open country. Now again,
it may never affect you well, but look at look
at the woman in Georgia who was jogging on her
college campus and who was murdered. You know by this
(16:58):
this guy from Venezuela. She would be alive if he
hadn't come in the country. Okay, do are there Americans
who murder other Americans? Yes, but we don't need more
people coming in to murder Americans. We got enough right
now of people in America who murder Americans. That's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
Yes, So I'm just simply saying, if we keep bad
mounting everybody else it's coming from America legally or illegally,
I mean, we're bad mounting our own.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
President Trump, don't I'm.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Not looking to bad mouthed people. Wait a second, I'm
not looking to bad mouth people who are coming here legally.
I want people to come here legally. If you listened earlier,
I was talking to Chris Snunu, and I said, we
should we only naturalize less than a million people a year.
We should we should basically naturalize upwards of two to
three million people a year. I'm not looking that. All
(17:49):
I'm saying is that that if we do not know
who is coming across our border, a percentage of those
people are going to come here for the wrong reason,
and we got to stop it.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Right, I understand it. But just even the way you're
saying it, you're forgetting that's how.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
That's that.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
But I just want to say this, just even the
way you're saying it, you forgot that how America came
across the border to become America. Come on, Dan, I'm saying,
if he came.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
He came across the border. Look, here's a history lesson
for you. Okay. People came across the border, and they
came to a place called Ellis Island, and they were
drugged away. If they had tuberculosis, if they had communicable
they were turned away.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Now I know, but the way America was founded was
through the eradication of the people who was here first.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
So this is what I've been talking about.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
Yeah, well we if we will.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
When you're willing to give up your property, do you
own a home or a condo in Cambridge?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
I gave it up a long time ago, when I
joined the service and never got it back. You know
what it was. I've always talked about my homelessness to
this damn day.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
No one's good. No one's going to give back there
anyone who wants to talk that way. Give back your
give back your house, give back your property. It's it's all.
That's all. I'm ancerting about people who are coming here illegally,
who are killing and naming and hurting and robbing other Americans.
If that makes a person, I'm a bad.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
We came here, we killed off the Indians. That's not legal.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
That will get me out again again. All you do
is you you roll out these arguments which which I
can knock down. If I had a little bit more time,
I could take them all on every night. Call back
next week. We're too close to the eleven. Now, what
do you want to do? Do you want to leave
and have everybody by the way, I'm a Native American
you're talking to Do you know that?
Speaker 7 (19:45):
No, but I'm listening.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I'm a Native American. I was born at Jamaica Plane.
That's the only place I'm native to man. Simple as that,
I have no responsibility for the fact that my parents
fled to My grandparents fled a Panato famine and came here. Okay,
so you know, don't do a guilt trip on me.
Simple as that. I just want our country to be
a little safer than it is now. That's all. We
(20:08):
got plenty of criminals in this country, bad people. We
don't need to bring more in. Al Am gonna let
you run. Thank you for your service. We'll talk thank
you too, you too, my friend. Here comes the eleven
o'clock news. We're going to talk about what makes Massachusetts
the worst drivers in America. It's not what you think,
but I'll tell you why. I do believe we have
the worst drivers in the United States. Coming back after
(20:32):
the eleven o'clock News on Nightside
