President Trump made some controversial statements this week about the Gaza Strip. Trump seemingly suggested that the U.S. would take over the Gaza Strip and rebuild it, displacing Palestinians. Is Trump getting out over his skis? Is it wise to get more heavily involved with the Israel-Hamas war?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's ye. Boston's news Radio full lines.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Let's keep roling, going to go to Mike and Beverly.
Mike talking about the Middle East and President Trump's proposal.
Are his musings that somehow the US could get involved
directly in gossam. What do you think?

Speaker 3 (00:22):
How are you? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (00:23):
I think it's definitely it's outside the box thing about
you laugh. Trump is playing check is and everyone thump's
playing chess. Everyone else playing check is. A guy is
very intelligent, and he did that to throw something outside
of the norm that you watch. Give us some time
that there's a there's a a leader from another country

(00:47):
coming next week. I believe you watch, it's all gonna
come together.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
He's very intelligent. More tells you we.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Think he is, and no one else has any else
other ideas about the situation. But he's very he's very smart,
very smart, more more I think than anyone else gives
him credit for. And everything else he said and I
can't believe worked out. So you know, everyone else can
laugh and joke about him and give him stop. But
you know what, he's more bralliant than people think he is.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
All right, well, we'll see what happens if you're right.
Call call back and you can say you called it.
I don't. Yeah, well, nothing's happened over there many years.
I mean, if the status quo needs to somehow change,
I would agree with him that it just seems to

(01:39):
it seems that there's there's a war, Israel wins, four
or five years later, the radicals come back at Israel,
there's another war or whatever. Oh and and we have
one friend in the Middle East and it's its name
is Israel.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
It's right exactly. So let's not you know, let's you know,
you know, the fixed situations, so people can have a
place like Comack because it's only temporary. I mean, you watch,
you will have please, people will relocated, He'll get rid
of herms and and all those other terrorist groups you watch,
and those scratch come back around, and it's gonna all

(02:18):
work out in the end, you watch.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I hope you're right. I hope you're right. Thanks, Mike,
appreciate your callers always we're doing I'm too. Next up
gonna go to Jim and Cambridge. Jim, you were next
on Nightside.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Your thoughts, Jim, Well, I'm gonna do this real quick.
First of all, why is Trump trying to go way
over there. If what's gonna happen. They've been fighting, shooting
whatever before I was born, in before I came to America.
For some reason, I think they like it. If they
wanted to fix it, they could. Now you said something earlier,
and I'm gonna do this real fast because you got

(02:50):
real people calling in. Yes, Biden did not do the border.
He screwed that up. All the Democrats screwed it up.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Without a doubt.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Now I have to say it's no problem. That's our
fault because guess what my kids is growing up. I
told them, don't touch it, don't look at don't think it.
All these kids and parents are whatever still doing it.
That's our fault because we choose to do it. So
that's an American problem, that's not whoever brought it in

(03:19):
and a well Trump, let me, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Give me a chance here to respond to that is
you're right in the sense that it's Americans who are
consuming it. But but there's been a lot of drugs
that Americans have tried, whether you go you know, back

(03:44):
in the sixties, to marijuana, LSDA, you know, heroin, cocaine, crack,
whatever you want, nothing, nothing, is as deadly from what
I understand, and fentanyl.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay, No, I'm not disagree with your anio bad.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Reasons why I'll turn it. Give me a break and
I'll turn it over to you. I promised you because
I like to do conversations. When people were smoking marijuana
in the sixties, they knew what it was. It was
we it was pot whatever. But a lot of people
are taking stuff. They may be crazy to try stuff,

(04:25):
but they're taken stuff. They don't know what it is,
and it's laced with fental and it's killing people. You're
turned Go ahead, I'm thank you.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Don't disagree with I don't disagree with any of what
you just said. However, like I told my sons and
what my parents told me, they are three reasons why
why people take drugs and get stuck on drugs. One
is because of peer pressure. Sure, pear pressure always makes
you do it. The second reason why you're curious. Now
you get rid of pair pressure, you can try it
and relax. The third reason is on your own, and

(04:57):
that's why I have no pity for nobody who did
The third reason because you kept going. You know it's
bad playing and simple und.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Go ahead, I didn't mean to go ahead.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
And that's how I don't take no drugs. I made
sure my kids didn't take no drugs. That's why I
feel no shame, no pity, no nothing. All I've been
hearing from both sides, Oh the drugs are coming in,
the drugs are coming in. I never hear anyone say, oh,
wait a minute, my kids or I was stupid enough
to take it, because you did. Nobody forced you. You

(05:36):
did it on your own. So all those drug addicts
out in America. And yes, I'm an immigrant. You let
that happen. You deserve it.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And Jim, I'm just curious you mentioned an immigrant twice.
What country did you come here from.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
I come from Jamaica.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Jamaica, Okay, Well, a lot of drugs in Jamaica, right, and.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, tons, and believe me, we have no pity for
any of them. If you take it, you're on your
own and get luck to you.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Now. I hear you. I hear that there's a lot
of kids who have smoked what they thought was marijuana
laced with fentanyl. But we'll leave that. I understand the
point you're making. But at the same time, at the
same time, we have people who you know, drink and
drive and they kill themselves in car crashes, and sometimes

(06:25):
they kill other people in car crashes. But we hadn't
try to enforce laws. And even if there are young
people in this country, or for that matter, middle aged
people who are crazy enough to try ventanyl or to
try drugs knowing that ventanyl is around, I still think
we as a society need to tighten up our borders

(06:47):
and uh and and try to eliminate that stuff from
coming in the country because it's poison.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
Never I agree with you on that one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Okay, fair enough, I'm not disagree with you, but I'm
just saying I got an American. American people chose to
take it regardless how much whatever comes in. You still
told yourself I want to take it.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yep. No, that's the point you're making. But but we
also as a society.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
You know, there are people who commit suicide in this
country every day, you.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Know that, Yeah, And I feel for them now there.
I feel for it because whatever well they do.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
But how do you distinguish the person who commits suicide
and is making a bad decision from the person who
takes who messes around with some drug and makes a
bad decision. How do you distinguish that.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Okay, a person who does suicide. It could be you know,
it could be built, it could be family, it could
be just a bunch of things. Let's just say that, sure,
and I'll let that go now my case. Now, I'm
using me for an example. I had a apply for citizenship.
I failed the first test, so that means I gotta
pay for the game, which was not cheap. Now, I

(07:58):
could take every drug there, but I didn't. You know,
that was my choice. You know, I could have just didn't.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
The fact the fact. But what I'm saying is you
have sympathy for people who make the mistake or consider suicide,
which I agree with, But you don't seem to have
any sympathy for people who who find themselves in situations
where they have gone down a bad path and basically
killed themselves with drugs as opposed to killing themselves with

(08:30):
the gun or hanging themselves.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, yeah, because that's what a gun and then and
all the other stuff is a one time final thing. Now, granted,
I know that sounds gruesome and mean, so I'll try
to be quick because I know you got all the
call it coming in. And I do feel for those
people because it's mentally, it's draining and everything else for them.
And I understand that. However, when you take our drug

(08:53):
and you consciously, you know, because first time, really do it.
You just do it for fun or peer pressure. But
if you keep going, some of your lives are good
and you probably know leave it, you know, talking about
people like who get it it just for fun and
all hell broke Louthana. That's why I don't feel sorry
for America.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Okay, I got you. Uh you made you made your points, Jim,
you made it well. I'll respectfully disagree, but I appreciate
your call and I hope you can do it.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Thank you and you have a great night.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
And to your.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Callers right back, good night.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Six months one line that was the line Jim's on
six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty JET that
just failed. The line that you want to call real
simple six one seven, nine three, one ten thirty. Both
of those lines, folks have dropped off. You're available and
won't have to wait long. Coming back on Nightside, Patrick
is up next.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Nightside Studios on WBZ News.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Radio back to the calls we go. We're gonna go
to Patrick in Charlestown, as I promise before the break. Patrick,
you're in next to night Shad.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
Welcome Dan. How you doing, buddies, I'm doing fine.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
What's your take on this tonight? Patrick?

Speaker 7 (10:11):
Well, first off, can I take a little departure just
for a second on the USA thing, and then we'll
get into the Middle East. I'll take thirty seconds.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
All right, yep, go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
So you see, it's just funny watching all the complaints
today by leading Democrats about an inspection of the USAID
largesse that's been going on for decades, funding media sources
all around the country, including the United States. This story

(10:41):
has not been covered enough. We are seeing proof that
the media system in the United States has been manufactured
and that the liberal bias has been steeped in and
paid for by American tax base. And the one thing
that I just wanted to point out about that is
the amount of crying and whining.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I remember, I don't know if you I get I used.

Speaker 7 (11:02):
To get a kick out of professional wrestling, and it
used to be this guy Kurt Angle who would put
people in an ankle lock and you would see people
scream for bloody murder and agony when he would do it.
And it reminds me of the Democrats right now that
they have really got them in their sights because they
are crying and complaining and moaning because they Trump has

(11:27):
really got them where it hurts. And I am loving
every minute of it.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
All Right, you've done a minute and a half on that,
and you may have opened up another line of conversation.
But more importantly, I'd love to get your take on
Trump's ideas about potential ideas. I'm not sure that their
actual ideas, potential ideas about the Middle East?

Speaker 7 (11:51):
Man did did? This guy's a genius and you listen,
it's ridiculous to suggest that like he doesn't the kind
of idea Like we rebuilt Italy after World War Two,
we rebuilt Germany after World War two, rebuilt France after
World War two, we were built Luxembourg, we were built Japan,

(12:12):
we rebuilt Korea, we rebuilt the Philippines, we rebuilt the
entire Western and Eastern world. Why can't we fix this problem?
Israel destroyed that place so bad? You what environmental program
says it's going to take twenty one years to remove
and dispose of all the debris. Israel also destroyed their

(12:35):
water system. It also destroyed the sanitation system, which are
of course horrible military threats to Israel. You just got
to take out the water system and the sanitation system.
It destroyed the farmland.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Israel did their job. Israel did their job. So you
think that we can get one point for a million
Palestinians to move somewhere else and that one of the
Arab states are going to welcome than with open arms.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
Trump is an amazing He's a once in a lifetime
political figure, Dan, And I know you don't like him.
He is an amazing convincer. He can do things that
most people can't. And I think that there's a chance
that this is a once in a lifetime guy who
can go in and maybe solve this thing. And what
do we have to lose?

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Dan, Do you want.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Another fifty sixty seventy years of this? Maybe the United
States can actually make a difference. You notice he called
the palace that these beautiful people.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 5 (13:33):
Because they are beautiful people.

Speaker 7 (13:35):
They're wonderful people. Their country was taken away from them. Man,
they deserve a chance too. And if the United States
owns guys, I guess what Israel is not gonna do.
It's not gonna bomb guys.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
A brother, Well, there's nothing left to bomb. What are
you going to bomb? There's nothing left the bomb right now? Okay,
So you think that this is more than they're just musings,
and you think that there's a real plan of for Yeah,
and which country? Just get you Patrick, just so just
so you can educate me here a little bit more.

(14:06):
Which country do you think is going to temporarily accept
the Palestinians?

Speaker 7 (14:13):
You know, you know, I I wish I knew, but Trump?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay? And then and then once we so let me
ask us, once we do all the rebuilding, once we
do all the rebuilding, uh we just we we basically
say to the Palestinians, welcome home.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
I don't I don't know, I don't know, but you
know something, I honestly, those people have been through such suffering.
I would have absolutely no problem welcome them. And as
fellow Americans, I really want to. They have been through
something you can never ever imagine. They've been treated so bad.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Okay, So you're saying maybe we should take maybe we
could take the one point two million Palestinians and incorporate
them into America.

Speaker 7 (15:01):
In in Gaza, in godz oh Gaza.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I'm sorry, I thought it misunderstood.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Sorry, maybe Israel wants it. Israel wants it right, Israel
wants it. And that's why this was interesting that no
one's talking about. Is that Trump punk the Israeli lobby
on national television. He said, America is going to take
it because Israel wants it. So nobody's covering that. Nobody's
covering the tension.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
We played, some played I played net. You didn't listen
to the ten o'clock hour. I played the NET. I'm sorry, Yeah,
don't don't make assumptions that I don't fell the whole
story here. Hey, interesting, Carl is always Patrick appreciate your
perspective defense.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
To the Israelis. By the way, I just want peace
over there, okay.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I think the Israelis. I think the Israelis won piece
more than anybody. I mean, they've been under a dag
for seventy five years.

Speaker 7 (15:54):
How about fifty million con fifty million dollars of condoms.
The anti natalists, they want to stop babies from you
and born. It's like you know, Jelby do me a favor.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
I gave you. I gave you plenty of time here,
I gave you plenty of time, and you were a gentleman.
You asked me if you could take us down a
different road. I gave you a minut and a half
to talk about that. Don't don't try to sneak something
else in on me at the last minute, you know,
treat me premute the same courtesy, accent. Okay, fair enough,
thank you, good night. Let me go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,

(16:25):
you were next the nights. I welcome.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
So the topics wrestling.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Now, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I didn't think
that was legitimate. So I didn't think that was on
the level. I mean, when people are screaming in pain,
I don't realize. I don't think they're really in pain
and wrestling. I think it's like, oh my god, oh
this hurts a lot, Oh my goodness. Maybe it's on
the level. I'm I'm maybe naive. I guess I don't know.

(16:51):
I always thought it was.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Hey, Dan, how many I know your listeners are pretty savvy,
but how many Americans that are watching what's going on
know that seventeen years ago, all that Gaza was was
was handed back to the Palestinians by the Israelis.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
To begin with, I think a lot of my my, my,
uh my listeners realized that has made concessions after concessions,
and as a matter of fact, has made concessions that
the Palestinians refuse to accept.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
The land for peace, Land for peace. Hey, I I really,
I really think that uh you know, Trump out to
concentrate more on Greenland because it's closer to it's closer
to us. But this is what I wish you would have.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I wish maybe we could relocate the maybe we could
relocate the Palestinians to Greenland.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
There you go, no, yeah, yeah, I got a topic
for you down the road here. Okay, I want to
know what because this is what's on my mind. Okay.
Lately and a couple of my buddies, we've been sitting
around and thinking about just one of the raid's going
to start? One? One is it? One is it? I
guess when Patel takes over the FBI, that's when the

(18:06):
raids are going to start. And the next question is
who's going to get raided first?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well, are you talking about if there are raids going
on right now.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
I'm talking about like mar Alago.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Oh so okay, So so you're suggesting, okay.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
It's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
So you wait a second. You've opened up Pandora's box
on me here. So let's let me make sure I'm
understanding Trump's home in in mar A Lago was raided,
uh uh in the in the case dealing with what
the documents that uh that that Trump kept and whether
or not he should have kept him or not is still,

(18:53):
I think, very much an open question. So you're suggesting
that Trump now is going to get the the FBI
to raid democratic homes.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
They're darn right.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Why would he do that? Why would he do that?

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Why would he do that to get the evidence, the
evidence of what the evidence of all the all the
corruption that has happened over the last ten to fifteen years.
I mean, they got they got it. I would raid first,
and would be would be a John Brennan. Let's start
with him, Clapper, some of these characters.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Okay, Now, I'm not a fan of Brennan. I'm not
a fan of Clapper, but he's taken away their clearances.
I don't know that Clapper and Brennan are both pretty
old at this point. I don't think that they have
the time for a political comeback. I also think it
sets a bad precedent for this administration to raid the

(19:52):
other administration, and because then those raids occur four years
from now if the Democrats win. I don't know that that's
that's I don't know if that's a good thing for
the country. And he said that. Honestly, you and I
generally tend to agree on this sort of stuff, Bill,
and I'm glad you raised the issue, but I'm telling you, honestly,
I don't think that's necessarily positive for the country.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Right, Well, let me go, let me just say one
more thing, and I got to go. And I appreciate
the time.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Dan, Sure, yeap.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
What about what about Okay? What about this? What if?
What if Trump comes out tomorrow and says, I'm given
Elon Musk and all his kids that's got working for him,
I'm giving them all a preemptive pardon, okay, which was
three weeks ago and last for the next four years.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Uh, that would not surprise me. Yeah, I don't think
he needs to, but he's going to be president for
another you know, three years, eleven months and ten days
or whatever that whatever would be. I think it's a
little early for preemptive pardons, but uh, I can see that.
I could see that. It's get your mind working here.

(21:06):
I missed what you said.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
You're back and you're sounding You're sounding good and healthy,
so I'm happy.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Oh yeah, I was healthy. I was away for a
few days on vacation to bnce with you. Thank you, Belle.
Appreciate your call as always. Okay, thank you much. We'll
take a quick break here for the news at the
bottom of the hour. My name is Dan Ray. This
is Nightside. Happens to be our four thousandth Nightside show
since I started doing this program back in two thousand
and seven. I like to kind of mark h I'm

(21:33):
a bit of a numerologist, I will admit, and I
like to I like to mark things in that way.
And in four thousand is an interesting number. It's a
big number, represents a lot of shows over eighteen years.
We'll be back on nights Side if you'd like to
join the conversation for the first time. I have a
couple of lines at six one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty and one at six one, seven, nine, three,

(21:55):
ten thirty talk about Donald Trump's suggestions that maybe, you know,
States could have an active role in Gaza. I think
he's out over his skis on that, but some of
my audience disagrees. I love to know what you think.
Back on Night Side right after.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
This Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news Radio, we.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Are talking about Donald Trump's comments the other day in
which he seemed to suggest, as a matter of fact,
for those of you who have not been listening, this
is President Trump and he's suggesting that I guess the
number is one point eight million Palestinians living in Gaza

(22:45):
could be moved for a period of time they're homeland restored,
and then they would move back. I think he's a
bit out over skis on this. See what you say,
Let me play Rob if you would, If you would
play for me and for my audience, get a sense
of what the press and it had to say. Cut
twenty six A.

Speaker 8 (23:04):
We should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts,
and there are many of them that want to do
this and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied
by the one point eight million Palestinians living in Gaza.
Ending the death and destruction and frankly bad luck. This

(23:24):
could be paid for by neighboring countries of great wealth.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
It could be.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
One, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, twelve. It could
be numerous sites, or it could be one large site.
But the people will be able to live in comfort
and peace and will get We'll make sure something really
spectacular is done.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
They're going to have peace.

Speaker 8 (23:45):
They're not going to be shot at and killed and
destroyed like this civilization of wonderful people has had to endure.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
All right. That's President Trump is the outovers is. He
actually had the germ of an idea, the seat of
an idea that might blossom. I don't know, love to
know what you say. Joe Is and Linjo you were
next all night said welcome.

Speaker 9 (24:11):
Hey Dan, how you doing? Don't feel too good? Doing
my best, But I want to touch base on this.
I think he is over his head. I think I
know what he's trying to do. He's trying to get
them in to play chess they call it, or whatever
it is. If they if they'll do it, they'll help them.
But Ifiel did give them what they wanted, and look
what they did. They brought the Hamasi and that's horrible

(24:31):
and if they do that again, then there's not much
help for them. You know. Some people just want to
live in that rattle, you know. And I think he
is a little over I think he's trying to get
people to take an interest in them. None of these
countries want him, and I'd like to have your comment want.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Those people?

Speaker 6 (24:50):
Yeah, well, I.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Think that history has shown that the Arab over there
have not been willing to take the Palestinians in.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Some might interpret that as the Arabs don't trust the Palestinians,
or they may look at it as the Palestinians in
that location are a discomfort to Israel and the Arabs.
Some of the Arab states that are just as happy
to keep Israel on the defensive, within within the within

(25:21):
the confines of where they are. I mean they have
Israel once had Gaza, and they basically gave Gaza to
the Palestinians and Homostopol, right, we know what happened. So
there's a lot of politics at play here. I would
love to think that somehow, some way, Donald Trump has

(25:43):
been able to find the key. Everybody has always been
talking about a two state solution, a two state solution,
and I think that Netanya is now saying there's no
possibility of a two state solution because we live in
harmony with Mosque controlled land masks within what Israel sees
as the geographic borders of Israel. So I don't know.

(26:06):
I think I have to.

Speaker 9 (26:09):
It is interesting. I have to agree with you, and
I'm glad Trump is getting rid of some of these
other it's jod or doj all the waste, and that's horrible,
But that's another reshuet.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Certainly, I said, he said an incredible seventeen or eighteen days.
He's like the energizer money right now, it doesn't seem
to stop. Thanks Joe, appreciate your call. All right, be well,
good night. Next up Will and Long Island will your
next one nights?

Speaker 5 (26:37):
I go ahead, Hey, Dan, As far as I'm concerned,
we tried a Tuesday solution in Palestine seventeen years ago.
They had their own government, they voted for them, and
they still attacked them. In nineteen forty seven, after the
UN resolution that was, you know, going to a partition
Palestinians and the Israelis, the Arabs attacked the Jews. Then

(27:00):
they attacked Jewish settlements and cities and then wound up
losing that, and then the formation of Israel happened, and
then we know what happened at sixty seven. I actually
twenty years ago, probably was on a phone call with
Geraldo Rivera, and I said, the Israelis need to go
into Palestine in the Gaza Strip specifically, and they need

(27:20):
to get everyone out. That's it. They can't live together. Period.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
In nineteen forty eight they.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Had a mass exit. Seven hundred thousand Palestinians left Israel, okay,
so obviously they can be moved, okay. And all we've
seen since sixty seven is constant fighting and then obviously
the culmination on October seventh, what we saw. There is
gonna be no pretty solution here. Donald Trump bringing it up,
I think is kind of ridiculous, Especially the optics of

(27:48):
a man who's a billionaire real estate guy talking about
building nice hotels in the Gaza Strip. The optics of
that are just not you know, they're just not good, right.
But it certainly should have been demanded by Nettan Yahoo,
and we could have pretended that we didn't know how
we were going to support it and whatnot. And what
he has obviously been doing is trying to do that.

(28:10):
I mean he's literally turned the place into rubble. So
without actually stating we want everybody out, I look at it.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
Instead of a violent way, there may.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Be a more peaceful solution, kind of like a you know,
when they have eminent domain right, they say, listen, it
doesn't matter. We voted with taking your house. We're giving
you what we think is worth.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
And realizing that for eminent domain to work normally, you
got it in this country at least that I don't
know if we can compare it, but in this country
there has to be a public benefit, a public good,
meaning they cannot come in and say, hey, we're we
kind of like your house and we're going to take
your house. But I think they're building some sort of
super highway through your neighborhood. That's generally where eminent domain good.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
The public good is the national security of the state
of Israel.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
At this point, that would be the argument that would
be them and have similar procedure.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
And well when you come into the when you think
about it from that idea instead, then maybe these other
Arab nations would.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
Be a little less reluctant to take in these.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
Palestinian refugees, if they were coming with money, if the
property owners and the people there were given some type
of money to resettle and relocate. They're being forced out.
That's not a question if I'm Israel, okay. But the
question is can we do the civilly? Can we write
you a check instead of spending billions that we're spending
killing people. Can we write you a check and resettle you,

(29:29):
and we work with the Arab nations that are taking
you in instead of handing them billions of dollars a
year in aid like we do to Egypt four billion
dollars a year so they could elect the Muslim Brotherhood
to hate us.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Can we start working with these.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
People and give them a civil agreement so that we
don't have to keep killing women and children, and they
can move out and Israel can be their separate state.
They control the West Bank and the Goadza Strip, and
if at some point in time they're able to live
together peacefully, maybe some of these people can move back
into the region and enjoy a lot more freedoms under

(30:00):
is Rarely like they do now. Like a woman can
become a doctor, and a woman can do all these
things under a Jewish state that they can't even do
in some of their own Muslim run countries. So but
at this time I think that the most the way
that will save the most lives is to say everybody
has to get out because they obviously cannot live together.
And I know that sounds horrible, but you know what

(30:21):
else sounds horrible bombing little kids. So all of this
has to they have to make a decisive effort to
get everybody out, especially out of Gassa.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Okay, man, you made the most compelling case for it. Thanks,
thanks well, appreciate it. Let me go to Laurie in Idaho. Laurie,
welcome back. How are you.

Speaker 10 (30:40):
I'm doing well enough, welcome back yourself. I'm happy four thousand,
Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I I feel like I'm in Idaho tonight. Actually we
had snow this morning and uh and this coming in
snow is coming in on Saturday, and that's coming in
next week where it looks like you guys up there
and then the great Northwest of producing snowstorms for us.
Thanks a lot.

Speaker 10 (31:05):
I take no responsibility. Well, they are here too. I
mean you've had snow every day for the last three
or four days. We had that one six incher and
then it's just sort of sifted day after day after day.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
I think that I think we got what you had.

Speaker 10 (31:19):
Yeah, well we're still getting it, so you better hold
your breath.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (31:25):
I just don't even know what to make of Trump sometimes.
I mean, you know how he throws these things out
that obviously he has a reason, and he has a
plan or maybe a ish or an agenda something I
don't know. I mean I kind of I actually agreed.
I thought will was a very interesting call. I don't know,
he's got something up to sleep. But when then, when
who says what's the best plan?

Speaker 3 (31:45):
I've heard?

Speaker 10 (31:46):
I felt like saying, did you even know this was coming?

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I suspect that was no fool. He probably knew it
was coming.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
But yeah, no, he's not.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
I just don't know whats are gonna. I don't know
even if even if let's say Egypt are Jordans welcomed
with open arms, I'm not sure that all the palest
Indians are gonna, you know, walk to the Philadelphia Gate
or whatever they call it over there.

Speaker 10 (32:16):
Yeah, but they can't go back to where they were
not right now.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
It's not livapool, Yeah, it's it's been it's been absolutely obliterated.
I mean, when you look at thee you realize that
the Israel, Israel, to their credit, took advantage of a
horrific situation. If you remember when it happened, they were
saying what happened him to Israel's intelligence services? And and Netah,

(32:44):
who has failed as a prime minister, well he he's
no longer a failing prime minister. They have won this
battle and maybe maybe it will lead to the end
of a war. I don't know. I mean it feels
like Israel. They're not under the gun for seventy six
years since they were.

Speaker 10 (33:04):
Along exactly now and they deserve you. I mean, something
has to happen over there, and maybe Trump is just
the guy to do it.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Who knows.

Speaker 10 (33:12):
So I heard one of the talking heads the other
day's Energy in Chief.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, let me tie. It's unbelievable. I mean, he's going
to the super Bowl. I'm on the list where I
get all the White House information and all of that,
and he's he's flying here, he's flying there. He's in
North Carolina, he was in Los Angeles. He's been very effective.
Now again he has has stirred up the horness nest

(33:38):
of the opposition. You saw the demonstrations around the country yesterday,
and he saw imbition. They had a big demonstration upside
the stairs. That was a good sized demonstration. It's like
almost Yeah. He likes to make sure people are paying
attention to him here.

Speaker 10 (33:54):
I think, well, he didn't get a chance his last administration,
so he's going to make the best of this one.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah. But I think the Congressman Al Green, Democrat from Texas,
has filed the first set of impeachment motions is yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yeah, yeah. I heard that yesterday.

Speaker 10 (34:15):
I was like, are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (34:17):
It took seventeen days. Well, whatever the number was, I
to think that your voice. I pass my break and
I gotta I gotta let you run. We'll talk soon. Okay,
thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Good night, thank you, good night, Okay.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Good night. Let me take a quick break. I got
Ron coming up, I got Jim and Rain and I
got room for one more. If you want to call
right now, six one, seven, four, ten thirty, I'll guarantee
we'll get you Ron and Jim in between now and
and you might and you'll get final word at at midnight.
Coming back on Night's side.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
to night Sight Studios. I'm BZ News Radio.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Okay, let's wrap it up here. I'm gonna go to
Ron and Newton. Ron, welcome back. How are you, sir?
Let me get the my mouth is not working, but
let's pop it up. Hey, Ron, welcome, How are you?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Thank you pretty good. I'm happy to get in on
your four thousand show. Thank you very much, battling that
same upper respiratory challenge that I think you did. Anyway,
this is just an I'll go quickly. This is an
off the wall thought and an observation that I've had, Uh,

(35:35):
you know, with all of the all of President corn
seemingly wacky statements to these he's made, Yeah, they've almost
all resulted in some sort of prompting of the conversation
or action. Today I read an article on this topic

(35:57):
on WELF Joe into Work. Thirty nine odd comments that
were made, and believe it or not, some of them
were saying, you know who has come up with any
other ideas?

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, well, certainly the last eighteen days, I mean between
all of the executive orders. It was interesting today on
the transgender sports the NCAA basically said they would comply.
There's been a lot of people who were antithetical to

(36:34):
Trump in the first administration who seemed to have come around.
I mean, I think look at all the billionaires Bezos
and Zuckerberg who contributed money to fund the inaugurations. I mean,
these were people who were totally opposed to them. And
we saw today for the first well yesterday, for the

(36:55):
first time, some demonstrations on the streets, which for the
first time, I mean, everybody's been really quiet. You saw
there was a demonstration where they blocked traffic in Los Angeles.
Maybe he's trying to taunt the left into into engaging
in these demonstrations with just upset people. You know, when

(37:17):
you're sitting in traffic in your car is being blocked
for no reason whatsoever. It's it's bad enough when there's
an accident from the road and you have to wait,
But when you think that there are people out there
blocking traffic for the sake of blocking traffic, that probably
helps Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
I mean, let's think about it, the Canada as our
fifty first state, purchasing Greenland. You know, these are whacky
seem I mean every morning I was waking up hearing
these or reading them and thinking, oh my god, where's
Dan when I need him?

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Well, I'll tell you this. I think that the one
thing that he came up with in the Panama Canal,
I think that made a lot of sense because in
my opinion, UH, Panama should not be controlling the Panama Canal.
We built it, we paid for it with billions with
you know, by today's standards, billions of dollars, and I

(38:15):
think the figure was thirty eight thousand people. Many Americans
died building that canal. And to see China come in
and try to take over the Panama Canal, that's something
that we cannot tolerate. So that's the one I mean
that I think is really the most important, because we
lose control of the Panama Canal to the Chinese, that

(38:35):
would be a huge problem.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I agree Dan it But you know, in as much
as I think there were wacky statements, I think he's
prompting discussion, he's prompting action.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
So what you're saying is there may be a method
to the apparent madness.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I think maybe I mean, is a person who grew
up in a in a competitive environment, he went to UH.
I'm sure some of the proposals that he put together
at places that he'd been like the Wharton School, you know,
but those were not uh, whatever experience he has in
those backgrounds, they were probably not easy. I mean, if

(39:16):
you if you want to call uh, I guess competitive
this may be too far of a reach. But a
competitive political sport, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Well.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I think I think there's a lot of competition that
are similar between a lot of similarities between sports and politics.
And in sports there's you know, there's a final champion,
and he was certainly the champion in twenty twenty four
and to the victors goes to spoils. Ronnie, want to

(39:49):
sneak one more in here, Thanks buddy, we'll talk soon.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Okay, thank you, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Jim and Raynham. Jim, I'm not sure we got about
two left?

Speaker 6 (39:57):
Is that it?

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Rob Littlest go ahead, Jim.

Speaker 11 (40:02):
I'll be real quick. Dan, a two state solution. First
thing you do you have to do if you're going
to have that is the Air of States have to
recognize one state called Israel YEP. And whenever they talk
about it's two state solution, they'll say, well, make Palestine.
Whatever it says Okay, let's make Palestine and recognize them.

(40:23):
But a few people would all recognize Israel. That would
knock off about ninety percent of this terrible stuff.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
By the way, by the way, that is what that is.
That's exactly what the Abraham Accords was hoping to accomplish.

Speaker 11 (40:39):
I understand it. On Gaza, I think I said. First
of all, I want to be clear, I have no
sympathy whatsoever for the people of Gaza. They elected Hamas,
they helped, they let Hamas to redirect international resources it
could have gone for the betterment of the people of
Gaza towards the tunnels and the military hardware and true

(41:06):
used to attack Israel. And as far as I'm concerned,
if you want to rebuild Gaza, how about the people
who gave them those guns pay for it.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
All right, On that note, Jim, I'm flat out of time.
Please call earlier, and I think that's a great suggestion.
Thank you so much. Okay, you're welcome. All right, We're
done for the night. Your episode of nights that four
thousand is in the books. Thanks to all the callers,
Thanks to all the listeners, Thanks to Rob, thanks to Marita,
thanks to all of you. I'll be on Facebook at

(41:36):
a moment. Nights out with Dan Ray. All dogs, all cats,
all pets go to heaven. That's why pal Charlie Ray
is who passed fifteen years ago this month. As for
all your pets are past. They loved you and you
love them. I do believe you'll see them again. See
again more night or nightside everyone. Thanks, everyone, have a
great Friday,
