  Speaker 1: Back to it. NewsRadio 570 WQEN G2.

  Speaker 2: Hello. Good evening, Ron. How are you?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I am well. What do you make of it all?
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Let's start with some assessments as to the latest happenings.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Trump in China. How's the war situation looking?
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Comments, thoughts, perspective.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be interesting to see what
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: comes out of this China trip. And I haven't been
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: studying all the media today, so I don't know what
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: they're saying, what they're lying about, where they're telling the truth.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: But outside, I heard they were lying about one of
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the Trump boys, but I don't know what that's about.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But the reality is that that Chinese economy is heavily
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: dependent upon exports to the United States and Europe. We
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: all know that. It's also heavily dependent upon oil from Iran.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: We all know that. So here these guys are sitting
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: in a situation where they're dealing with Trump, who has
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: both his finger on their lifeblood from the revenue side,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know, their sales into the United States and virtually
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: everything that our corporate masters transferred into that country, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: he's now got his finger on the thumb, or his
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: finger on the flow of oil that makes that economy work.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Now you mix that into an economy that's you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: got some issues, right? Growth has slowed. It's still growing
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: at a healthy rate, but it's slowed. You know, Europe's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: economies are struggling. They're in trouble from an energy standpoint.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And it certainly does not appear that China is a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: sort of, you know, blood brother ally to the Iranians,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: as evidenced by the fact that they've done very, very
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: little to help them in this war. Now, again, as
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we've said before, Why would you want, if you're Xi
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Jinping or anyone in China, why would you want Iran
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to have a nuclear weapon? No reason. You wouldn't. It
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: would be foolish. Because, of course, they know what this
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Iranian regime is, what it's all about. There's no strategic
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: or tactical advantage to China to having these fundamentalist Islamists
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that control Iran have nuclear weapons. So I think this
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: is one of the most interesting... junctures of economics and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: politics and trade and war and energy that we could
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: possibly have and i i i'm anxious to see how
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: this unfolds over the next few weeks whatever the words
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: are that are spoken you know these kind words about
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it you know whatever i want to see what they
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: do because i could tell you that if china brings
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: pressure to iran telling them listen you know we also
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: say it's time for you to to stop And remember,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the settlement with Iran actually costs them nothing. If you settle,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the Strait of Hormuz is open and you begin to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: collect your $ 400 or $ 500 million a day. If you settle,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: you won't get a nuclear weapon, but you don't have
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: one now. You don't give anything up because you don't
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: have one now. And if you settle, you get rid
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of the threat that the world attacks you because they're
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: afraid you're getting a nuclear weapon, which, you know, two-thirds
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of the world is dedicated to you not having it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just is a no-brainer for these people
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to say, that's a really good deal for us. Now,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that takes away the fundamentalist Islamist thought that their primary
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: goal in life is to destroy the United States and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Israel and, you know, be able to conquer, you know, Europe,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: for example. But they're conquering Europe without having any need
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of nuclear weapons. And there's another factor, too. Is any
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of this lack of nuclear weapons stopping... islamists from conquering
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the west well clearly not the government of birmingham the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: second largest uh... city in in england was just conquered
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: by islamic in the last election cycle they've taken full
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: control of the government of birmingham they've had eleven years
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: or so with this radical city con running london so
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: think about that as well they have no tactical offensive
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: need to have a weapon to conquer europe they could
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: just walk in And what is his name, Pedro Sanchez
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: or whatever it is, the guy that's running Spain right now,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he's their doorman. I mean, that clown, that traitor, that
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: demon is standing there holding the door to Europe open
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and saying, listen, you know, the Moors couldn't do it
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: in 732, but here's what we're going to do. We're
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: going to not only open the door for you, we're
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: going to write you a check for every soldier you send. And,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know, look, we've got a lot of chicks in
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: this town. You can come and have what you want.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: These guys are flooding into Europe to conquer it. So
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: they don't need a nuke to do that. So what
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: do they give up if they settle? Well, just the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: ability to someday sit at the table of nuclear nations. Okay.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: The last group of people who wanted to do that
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: are now all dead. Right? So I know that there's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of turmoil and anarchy inside Iran, and I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: know we can't see very clearly into Iran. Probably at
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: this point only Mossad can't. And I'm guessing Mossad has
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: pretty good visibility into what's going on in Iran, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: they're not going to share it with us unless it
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: helps their political and tactical and strategic goals. So, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: if we're learning from Mossad, true, not true, it's going
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to be whatever they want. So let's say then that China,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: realizing that this war could be extended another couple of
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: months and now they're going to be eating into that
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: 100 to 120-day supply of reserves they have, and that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: their economy is going to start slowing down because Europe's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: not getting the energy it needs. It's in trouble. It
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: was in trouble before. I mean, there's a lot of
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: potential pressure to be brought to bear on this. And
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: while I'm, you know, like not a fan of all
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: these tech weirdos that run these big companies that are
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: creating the digital control grid to monitor our lives and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that sell our data around and spy on us every
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: minute of the day, I think it probably was a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: smart move to take them with him to China so
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that trump wasn't sitting there speaking to china while they
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: wondered if he was in communications with their major employer
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know the tech industry the united states upon two
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: billion and billions of dollars in the china every year
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: but they actually flew over with it he's now brought
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: art you know these these packed nightmares with him and
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: while it may be a pit of vipers in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: middle of that pit of vipers since donald trump negotiating
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: deals I think he wants this war over. And I'm
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: not sure who said what earlier, because there's some things
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I caught and didn't. But I don't see any prospect
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: of him deciding to send soldiers on the ground any
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: more today than we did a week ago or two
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: months ago. But short of deploying U.S. ground forces, they've
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: already inflicted billions and billions of dollars of damage on Iran,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: destroyed huge elements of its military. not effectively destroying its
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: ground troops. Its ground forces are still in pretty good shape,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: but really destroying a lot of it. And, you know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you notice they're not nearly as belligerent today as they
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: might otherwise be. So we see a lot of good
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: positive signs in this war. You see Saudi and UAE
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: pumping as much as they can, getting it out to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: market around the Strait of Hormuz, not through it. The
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: United States reaching crazy levels of unprecedented production. So the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: energy markets are not as bad as they would otherwise be. It's,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: what is it now, like a 6 million barrel shortage
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: now out of 105? This is called 6% for round numbers,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: 7 maybe. That's a big problem in any commodity market,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and it's going to cause shortages in some places, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the use of that material will be prioritized into its
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: most critical elements and the other impact will be minimized
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: out a hundred dollar hundred five hundred ten dollar oil
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: we're not looking at any relief at the pump anytime
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: soon but another another thing i keep hearing that i
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: don't understand is that people keep saying well the price
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of oil goes up very quickly but if this thing
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: ends and saudi keeps pumping and uae keeps pumping the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: united states keep pumping russia increasing production now other countries
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: increasing production Somehow that's not going to have an impact
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: on the market. Somehow the prices aren't going to come down.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: This I don't understand because we've seen the market go
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: down over and over and over again. Yes, there are
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: speculators that have bought cargos at very high numbers. They've
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: got forwards at numbers that will be upside down, you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: as soon as this war ends. But I just don't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: understand how it is that the world's going to keep
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: pumping all this oil. You open up the strait and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: all that trapped oil comes available and And somehow prices
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: don't come down. I think they will move down. I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: think they'll move down with relative haste. And we will
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: see the world's economic engine begin to engage again at
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: a higher level. So that's where I see it. I'm
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: anxious to watch the next few days and weeks and
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: see what China comes up with. What are we now in? Well,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: we're in week seven, is it, of this war? So
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty short engagement so far. I don't think
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: anybody's anticipating a 20-year engagement or a 10-year engagement or
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: even a five-year engagement. And I don't think Iran can
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: hold out that long because, as I always say, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: cost of tyranny is high. And if you're losing $ 400
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: million to $ 500 million of oil revenue a day, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that's the majority of your exports, you're going to have
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a hard time maintaining your firm grip on control of
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: your country when there's no money to pay anyone when
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: fundamental goods aren't showing up when you've lost a lot
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: of your military positions where you've had this turnover now
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: let's call it two rows deep into leadership that's a
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: heck of a hard position to be in and I'm
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: glad it's them and not us So that's kind of
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: where I'm at right now. I'm anxious to stand by
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and see what comes.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Every day's an adventure, G2.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: We live in an absolutely fascinating time. It'd be nice
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: if the stakes weren't so high. And just to that point, remember,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: in my view, there's nothing in Iran or China or
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Russia or even Europe that's our greatest threat. that matches
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the threat we have from our enemies domestic and their
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: attempt to destroy the systems that made this country so
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: great for the two hundred fifty years there is no
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: threat on this earth as dangerous to the united states
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and to the american people at least radical leftists bizarre
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: democrat ideology that they've adopted now i was talking to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: somebody about barbara jordan if you remember if barbara jordan
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: The famous Democrat, for those who don't remember her, she
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: was from California, I believe, and she did some fantastic
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: speeches on immigration. If Barbara Jordan was alive today, they'd
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: be calling her an alt-right radical. She would be a MAGA.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: What is that Ted Cole all-time MAGA cult? She'd be
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: in the MAGA cult? I mean, if Barbara Jordan was
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: reincarnated and showed up today... at a Democrat rally, they
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: would kill her. Because, as you know, they're full of hate. So,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just interesting to see how all this
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: has changed. And again, there is no threat on this Earth,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: to this United States, as dangerous as these lunatics inside
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: this nation's borders.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: The enemy within.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: The enemy within.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: And they want us divided, right? Race, gender, who do
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: you want to have sex with? Oh, let's separate you
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: on that. I mean, I know people that are gay
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that think that Christians want to kill them. And they're
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: totally sincere and they believe it. I mean, they want
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: us divided into as many little pieces as they can because,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of course, as we've said before, e pluribus unum turns
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: around to e unum pluribus, right, out of one many.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And they know that to destroy the United States, to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: get control of the carcass that's left, you've got to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: defy this country's people.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And it seems, and bring a bunch of people in.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you've got to replace them because..
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, remember when they said the replacement theory was
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: a crazy conspiracy theory? And yet you see it all
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: over the world.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: And it's in a UN document. I mean, I was
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: reading it. The replacement theory is written down and published
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: by the United Nations. It's not even a theory. It
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: is a conspiracy, but it is in fact not a theory.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Well, look around. You're living it. You see it happening.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: They're watering down your influence, your citizenship, by bringing others
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: in and changing the dynamics of your community.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: They wrote it down they talked about it at conferences
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: and then they did it and people say but why why.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Would they want to do that and that's how you
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: get elon omar in congress.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Absolutely right so you put them in concentration in places
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: where they don't have to assimilate so that they can
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: then begin to affect the politics local school boards and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: national from those from those readouts those those uh... uh...
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you know from the keep inside their castle So why
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: would they do that? Like, what's so bad about these
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Europeans and Americans? Why do you hate Irish so much
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: that you want to bring in 5 million Indians and
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: permanently change that country? Well, it's pretty clear. You know, since,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: what was it, 1250? The people of the West have accepted,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: or expected, rather, to have a voice in their government.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: They reject, as a matter of custom, they reject government corruption,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: even though we see it all around us. We're not
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: doing anything about it. they they do not accept feudalism
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: in a plot many revolutions get over it to get
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: away from it including the one that was successful here
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: so this idea that you know that this political class
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: can put it into a situation of tyranny where they're
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: going to sit on top of the tyrant you know
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: where problem we don't accept that but if you bring
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: people in from the middle east they have no idea
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about if you talk about freedom and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: prosperity I mean, they know prosperity from selling oil to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the West, but they don't understand economic freedom. They don't
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: understand personal freedom. They don't understand, in most countries, security
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and safety. They definitely understand and expect and accept tyranny,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: because every one of their countries is tyrannical. And corruption
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: isn't just accepted. It is expected. It is anticipated that
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: if you get elected to the school board of the township,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: you are going to take money from the school board
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: of the township. You're going to steal it. It's in
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: much of the world's cultures. This may seem foreign to people,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: but it's true. If you talk to people in certain
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: countries that get, let's say, put into a role where
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: they're an engineering manager with a procurement role, it is
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: expected that the vendors will pay them a fee to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: get that contract. It's built into the pricing. So it's
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: hard for us culturally to understand that. But if you
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: are one of these lunatics that want to be dominating
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the globe with you and your sick friends that hang
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: out at places like Epstein's Island and that weird castle
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: in Eyes Wide Shut, if you're one of them, well,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: then you absolutely think, first of all, you could replace
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: all these stubborn Westerners with more compliant people from the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: third world who will do anything for one more grain
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: of rice or one more tortilla. And who will accept
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: anything you do, whether it be corruption or maybe having
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: crazy parties on an island with underage people. So that's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: what they want. That's the ultimate goal, a feudalist system
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: where these masters of our new paradigm, the masters of
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: our new reality, are free of ethical, moral, and legal
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: restrictions and have access to unlimited wealth.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Back in a minute.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: With the G2, why do people like Tucker Carlson say
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: that the spender of the house is the worst one
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: at his job?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, he gets a robust competition between
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the spender of the house and the trader Foon.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, these two guys. Give me your thoughts on
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: why do they say that?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Why do we call them that?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: You know, first of all, these two people have fought
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: against every element of the American agenda. They lie to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: us on a regular basis, and they trot out silly
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: things like, we always talk about this, the filibuster and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the parliamentarian in the Senate, neither of which is in
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the Constitution, to say that, well, we just can't save
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: this country. Sorry, it's too hard. And it's unacceptable. So
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether they're the worst because it's been
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: a long line of treachery and treason and failure and
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: refusal to represent the people. But I will say that
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: if the American people don't stand up and start demanding
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: representation from Republicans and Democrats, I mean, not representation for
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the big oligarchs, not representation for the AI companies, not
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: representation for China or India, representation for the United States citizens.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: for our economic and constitutional protections, our economic interest and cultural.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: If we don't do that, we're done. And right now,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I can't point to any more than a handful of
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: people in Congress who represent the United States citizen.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Very troubling. Very, very troubling. I mean, to get the
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: America First agenda somewhat in concrete so the next president
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: just can't over- do away with the executive orders, whoever
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: that might be.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: That's right. And we're blaming Trump for this, and he
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: deserves some blame. But the truth is, this is the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Republicans and Democrats in Congress conspiring against us on a
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: daily basis. That's why I said what I said on Wednesday,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: which is, if we want to pass an election security
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: bill like the Save America Act, we should build into
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: it a commission for Congress. Rather than sending all these
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: billions and billions to some NGOs, that have to filter
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: it through different companies and pay people's cousins. Let's just
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: pay them a commission. Let's put a million dollars in
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: that bill for every member of Congress, not bribe, it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: in the law, put it in the law, and pay
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: them each a million dollars to represent the American people.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: At this point, we can't compete. As a matter of fact,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Spender Johnson just went out to the podium and explained
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: why they have to do insider trading, which would put
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: any of you in jail. They have to do that
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: because they're not paid enough. AOC made the same claim
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a few years ago. So let's just take them at
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: their word. They're doing this because they want the money.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Other people pay them more than us. So let's put
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: a million dollars for each member of Congress to be
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: paid to them or their designee, half up front and
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: half over four years, even if they leave Congress. As
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: long as they don't do anything to weaken our election security,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: put that in the Save America Act, and the cost
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: is $ 535 million, and we get election security, which is
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: one of the most critical elements of saving this country.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Let's just pay these criminals.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I think I hear a little bit of sarcasm here,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: but the reality is, I hope, but the reality is
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: they should be doing the right thing without being.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Bribed.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: They should. Yeah, they should be, but they're not going to.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: And again, Johnson just said it. We have to use
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: cheating in the stock market to make money because you
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: don't pay us enough.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: But if you Joe Bagadonis would do that, you would
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: go to jail.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And you may make a lot less than he makes.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: But here's what he said. You're not going to get
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: this quality of representation. We're going to have a downgrade
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: in the quality of people that go to Congress. Can
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: you explain to me how that gets worse? Worse than this? No,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: there's no sarcasm. I'm telling you I think we should
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: put a million dollars in that bill for every one
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: of these people. And I think we should pay it
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: to them in cash. Again, remember their designee. Have over
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: four years. And for the next bill we need, put
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: another million in. Because they're getting paid by K Street.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: They're getting paid by the lobbyists. They're getting paid through
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: stock tips. Remember how this works, right? Congress does a
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: favor for a company. The company then gives a stock
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: tip to Congress, and Congress then makes money on the trades.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: That's how it works. Like, they're not pretending it doesn't
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: work like that. They know it. We know it. We
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: know they know it. They know we know they know it.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: So just pay them. Because if we don't pay them,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: they're going to steal it. And while they're stealing that money,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they're serving that company that's giving them the stock trip tip,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: not the American people. Let's just pay them.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: All right, we're out of time, G2.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Always good to have a short slice of insight from G2.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend, everybody. News Radio 570, WKVN.

• 23:20
  Speaker 8: along with you about a half hour prior to tonight's
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: first pitch on a special night here at the ballpark
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: as the Guardians will honor the 2016 American League champion
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: Cleveland Indians. A lot of those players are back in
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: town tonight. And they are being honored as we speak.
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: So a great ceremony on the field. Great to see
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: so many players who were so important to that great
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: ball club 10 years ago. Guardians coming into play 24-21
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: atop the American League Central Division. The Reds, despite a
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: plus 500 record at 23-21, they are at the bottom
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: of the NL Central, five games off the pace being
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: set by the Cubs.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned.
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: We'll have more to come after this. Welcome back to
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: Progressive Field and the Bet365 Guardians warm-up show. Guardians honoring
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: the 2016 American League champion pennant winners, the Cleveland Guardians,
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: who had that memorable World Series against the Chicago Cubs.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: A heart and soul guy on that team was catcher
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: Jan Gomes, who unfortunately was hurt much of the second half,
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: but got back for the postseason and played a role
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: in the three-playoff series that the Guardians played. We'll visit
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: with him when we come back after this.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Here's the Bet365 Minute, where winning is everything, with Scott Davidson.
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: All right, there's a lot to look at downtown tonight.
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: We'll start with the Guardians. They're a $ 1. 40 favorite over
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: the Reds. The total is eight. Next door, Cavs. Game six,
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: they're minus four. Total there, 210 and a half. Let
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: me give you a baseball money line I like tonight.
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: I am going with our old buddy Aaron Savali and
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: the Athletics to beat the Giants. Now, Savali has been
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: on fire in his last three starts. In fact, he's
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: given up only one earned run in his last 16 innings.
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: The Giants counter with Tyler Molle. He's got a 5.18 ERA,
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: and he comes off an outing where he gave up
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: four runs and two homers, and he's in a ballpark
• 25:18
  Speaker 10: tonight that yields a lot of homers. I like the athletics.
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: That's my play of the day. Now, you can join
• 25:23
  Speaker 10: me when you download the Bet365 app. Remember, you bet $ 10.

  Speaker 8: Welcome back to Guardians Warm-Up, and the 2016 American League
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: Championship Team Reunion has been taking place this weekend. Jan
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Goms has joined us, and Jan, you were such a
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: heart and soul guy for those clubs as you really
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: established yourself as a top-tier catcher in the American League.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: But for you, when you look back on that, what
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: was the World Series like for you as you were
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: trying to come back from injury and contribute in any
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: way you could?
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it was... I mean, we've all talked about it
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: like the last couple of days. It was, um, we,
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: we kind of didn't know what was happening to be
• 26:17
  Speaker 11: honest with you. We, uh, um, we fought so hard. We,
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: we were playing good baseball and it was all happening. Um,
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: but personally for me, I ended up getting hurt in
• 26:25
  Speaker 11: the middle of the year, trying to make my way back,
• 26:27
  Speaker 11: got hurt again. But, um, just being a part of
• 26:30
  Speaker 11: that ball club, you know, getting, you know, to play
• 26:32
  Speaker 11: some games and getting to, to see that momentum of
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: every game, you know, becoming more and more special was, uh,
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: It was a great time, even though, again, personally, I
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: didn't get to play very much during those series until
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: the World Series. But it was a super special moment.
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: It was something that no one could take away from us.
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: We had a great time, for sure.
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: People talk about chemistry on good teams so often. What
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: was it about this group that you kind of grew
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: up with that became so special so quickly?
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: I mean, you said it. It was a good group
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: of guys that, like, We can call it a core,
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: we can call it a nuclear, whatever it was, but
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: we had a lot of guys that were coming up
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: together at the same time, having kids at the same time.
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: We were spending a lot of time together, and getting
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: to have that moment together was really special.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: What was really cool about it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: Is anytime someone new came in, we were very open,
• 27:32
  Speaker 11: very welcoming. Andrew Miller, Coco Chris, Brandon Geyer, They all
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: became just easily a part of the family, and it
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: helped us big time.
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: You mentioned those three coming in. As a player on
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: a team where that's happening, what does that tell you
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: about the intentions of the front office and everything else
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: that goes along with it?
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you get to play long enough. Whenever that trade
• 27:57
  Speaker 11: deadline comes, you're going one way or.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: The other, right?
• 28:00
  Speaker 11: So you're adding or you're scuffling and you're subtracting. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 11: whenever we start getting guys like, Andrew Miller, Chris, and
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: Brandon Geyer, you know we're going for it. So definitely
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: gives us a nice momentum, a nice confidence that the
• 28:14
  Speaker 11: front office believed in us.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: But it was really cool.
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: They gelled really easy, became huge roles of our team
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: at that time, and happy that we got to be teammates.
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: Jan Goms is joining us, and you were lucky enough
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: to go on and win a World Series later in
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: your career with another team. When that happened for you,
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: Did any of this from 16 come back into your
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: thoughts as, wow, that would have been cool if it
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: could have been Cleveland?
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think I've said it multiple times how cool
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: it would have been to have finished that off with
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: this team. But I can tell you that the second
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: time going into a World Series, I was way more prepared.
• 28:55
  Speaker 11: I think you start to realize that moments don't get
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: any bigger than that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: And you learn..
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: You learn a little bit more.
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: Of the pace of that game. Playoff series, playoff games
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: are a lot different than regular series games. So you
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: learn to slow the game down, be more present, and
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: understand that little moments can't escalate to big moments. But
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: we can definitely be able to have those conversations in
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: the dugout where we can slow those little skids, wherever
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: it's an error or anything, which I know in the
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: first time around, the game can speed up. So I
• 29:32
  Speaker 11: know whenever I went in 19 with the Nationals, I
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: was way more prepared, at least I thought so. and
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: uh and ended up um we put a ring.
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: You're retired now as our most except for hosey i
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: think sure um but you look at your career and
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: you got that chance here um when it was all
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: said and done and you did decide to retire it
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: Do you feel good about your career? Because it seemed
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: like anyone who plays as long as you did, that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: a solid major league career.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I do.
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: I think it's one of those things where you're going
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: to have questions at the end of your career, whether
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: you could have done more. But I feel like I
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: left my mark in the game. I gave it my
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: best every day I was on on the field. I
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: never left anything for granted. And I thank a lot
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: of guys that I got to play with for that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: I know Tito as a manager was a huge influence
• 30:20
  Speaker 11: on me. Sandy was the same way. So I felt
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: like any game that I played, I was playing it
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: like it was my last, and I hope that that
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: was the impact I left.
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: Jan, great to see you. Thanks for coming by.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Thanks, Rosie.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: That's Jan Gomes, catcher for the 2016 American League champion
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: Cleveland Guardians.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: More to come after this.
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: Progressive knows sports brings people together, but you've got to
• 30:44
  Speaker 12: feel bad for people who don't even get it. Some
• 30:47
  Speaker 12: people will never know what it's like to see their
• 30:49
  Speaker 12: favorite team's hopes decided by a ping-pong ball to draft
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: the next superstar.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Or not.
• 30:55
  Speaker 12: I mean, sure, it's silly for your happiness to hinge
• 30:57
  Speaker 12: on the success of a 20-year-old entry-level employee.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: But you just can't help yourself.
• 31:00
  Speaker 12: The stress is exhilarating. Progressive can't bring people together like
• 31:04
  Speaker 12: the draft, but we can bring your home and auto
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: insurance together with a bundle.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: So switch and see if you could save hundreds.
• 31:09
  Speaker 12: Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and other insurers not available
• 31:11
  Speaker 12: in all states or situations.
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: Hey, you mind keeping it down up there, please?
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: KeyBank will meet you in that I need new neighbors moment.

  Speaker 8: Beth, you're always there for me and not a moment
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: too soon.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Are your neighbors bowling with grand pianos again?
• 31:32

  Speaker 1: Wait call now.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: Hi again everybody with cleveland manager steven vote this is
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: tom hamilton welcome to the manager show it's brought to
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: you by key bank off day yesterday after in essence
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: a two-week run that's mammoth isn't it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: Yeah it was huge i mean what a long trip
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: sacramento to kansas city and then home for you know
• 33:53
  Speaker 14: six more games and Man, our guys played well. What
• 33:56
  Speaker 14: a great stretch we had. Anytime you have a trip
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: like that and a long stretch, you don't know how
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: it's going to go.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: But we were able to win more than we lost,
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: and we played some good baseball. Voter, you've played well
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: here at home, especially pitching. Your ERA is more than
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: two runs lower at home than on the road. Now,
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: some of that might be weather-related, but you also have
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: to pitch in that.
• 34:16
  Speaker 14: Yeah, they've been great. I mean, our starting rotation as
• 34:18
  Speaker 14: a whole has been very good, and the bullpen has
• 34:20
  Speaker 14: just been phenomenal here as of late. and really the.
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: Majority of the year.
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: It kind of had a week where they kind of
• 34:26
  Speaker 14: gave up some runs, but outside of that, it's been phenomenal,
• 34:29
  Speaker 14: and we're pitching well, we're playing good defense, and we're
• 34:32
  Speaker 14: getting hitting when we need it, and you're going to
• 34:34
  Speaker 14: have games where you don't, but for the most part,
• 34:36
  Speaker 14: I've been really pleased with our at-bat quality.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: Well, and the bullpen kind of continues to evolve. You
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: do have that guy in the ninth inning. I mean,
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: right now, Kate Smith looks locked in.
• 34:45
  Speaker 14: Yeah, especially the last two outings. I think You know,
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: we really saw a different version of Cade. We saw
• 34:50
  Speaker 14: the normal, the version of Cade we're used to. And
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: it's been a process. You know, pitchers go through lulls
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: where they lose their mechanics or something just feels a
• 34:59
  Speaker 14: tick off. But man, when Cade's dialed, isn't he great? Well,
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: I mean, right now you wonder how does a hitter
• 35:06
  Speaker 14: even figure out what's coming next? And the results are
• 35:09
  Speaker 14: three punch outs every inning. That being said, voter, it's
• 35:13
  Speaker 14: a little different than a year ago. 7-8-9 was pretty
• 35:16
  Speaker 14: clear cut. More mixing and matching now? Yeah, I mean,
• 35:18
  Speaker 14: I think if you've looked at the last couple years,
• 35:21
  Speaker 14: at least since I've been here, you know, we don't
• 35:23
  Speaker 14: have clear set roles. We don't have a seventh inning,
• 35:25
  Speaker 14: eighth inning, ninth inning. It's more matchup based. And, you know,
• 35:28
  Speaker 14: I think we're really starting to see we have a
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: lot of pieces that we can fit into that puzzle
• 35:32
  Speaker 14: right now. It's a good problem to have. And with
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: both lefties being as dominant as they are and three
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: or four really good righties and some pretty good, you know,
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: mop up guys as well. So we feel really good
• 35:42
  Speaker 14: about the state of our pen. We're going to continue
• 35:43
  Speaker 14: to look for the best matchups possible for guys.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: Can you explain Eric Cebrowski's success? He doesn't throw 98,
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: but I mean, he's getting almost two strikeouts an inning.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: One thing we do know, he's fearless, isn't he?
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is.
• 35:57
  Speaker 14: He's fearless, but also his fastball, you know, it's not
• 36:01
  Speaker 14: a normal four-seam. It plays up. It's got 22 inches
• 36:04
  Speaker 14: of vertical ride, and that's ridiculous. So essentially, you got
• 36:08
  Speaker 14: to try and swing a miss over the top of
• 36:10
  Speaker 14: his fastball if you want to hit it is basically
• 36:12
  Speaker 14: the best way to describe it. And so He's got
• 36:14
  Speaker 14: good extension. He's coming at you, and he's got two
• 36:16
  Speaker 14: really good breaking balls to couple with it. So when
• 36:19
  Speaker 14: Eric's throwing strikes, he's one of the best.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: I know how proud you are of me right now.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: I went three minutes before I asked you the batting lineup.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: You've got Chase DeLauder again hitting third with Jose Ramirez
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: in the two-hole. Do you want to see how this
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: goes for a while?
• 36:35
  Speaker 14: You know, again, we're day-to-day. I think I really liked
• 36:38
  Speaker 14: the way it looked the other day versus the lefty,
• 36:40
  Speaker 14: and we're facing another lefty today. We'll see how it
• 36:42
  Speaker 14: shakes out for tomorrow, but... You know, I really liked
• 36:45
  Speaker 14: the way, you know, whoever's hitting second is going to
• 36:47
  Speaker 14: get the most meaningful of bats. And so why not
• 36:49
  Speaker 14: put Hosey in that spot?
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: Do you talk to Hosey before you make this kind
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: of a move?
• 36:54
  Speaker 14: Absolutely. You know, you always ask him. You've seen it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 14: We've tried him in the two-hole a few stretches over
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: the last few years. And he's always kind of just
• 37:00
  Speaker 14: wanted to gravitate back towards the three-hole. And again, whatever
• 37:03
  Speaker 14: Hosey wants, you know, but we've been talking a lot
• 37:06
  Speaker 14: about it. And he actually expressed some interest in possibly,
• 37:08
  Speaker 14: you know, doing it. And, you know, anytime he wants
• 37:11
  Speaker 14: to step up in his second, I'm all for it.
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: Voter, one other thing I wanted to ask you about,
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: and that's Cincinnati, tonight's opponent. In essence, the same record.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: They've been struggling lately, but everybody in that National League
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: East is above.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: 500.
• 37:25
  Speaker 14: What kind of a club are they? They're pesky. They
• 37:29
  Speaker 14: can hit, they can run, they put a lot of
• 37:30
  Speaker 14: pressure on you on the bases. They've got good pitching.
• 37:34
  Speaker 14: They've got really big stuff coming out of the bullpen.
• 37:37
  Speaker 14: Struggle with throwing strikes at times, which they can get
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: themselves in trouble, so we have to be really patient
• 37:42
  Speaker 14: with their bullpen, but This is a really good team.
• 37:44
  Speaker 14: I mean, they play the game the right way. They're
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: good on defense. They run.
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: They bunt.
• 37:49
  Speaker 14: They cause havoc. And we got our work cut out
• 37:51
  Speaker 14: for us this weekend.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: That's Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt, Tom Hamilton, inviting you to
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: stay tuned. Game one of this weekend's series with the
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: Reds next on the Cleveland Clinic Radio Network.
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: About 10 minutes away from tonight's first pitch here at
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: Progressive Field. Time for the pitching matchup. Andrew Abbott, the
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: tough left-handers on the hill for the Reds. Nine starts in,
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: he's 2-2 with an ERA of 4.47. Always tough in
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: his career against Cleveland, especially so a year ago with
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: two wins and two starts. 14 innings, he did not
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: allow a run. On the other side, it's Tanner Bybee
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: for the Guardians. The right-hander, 0-5, with an earned run
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: average of 4.17. In his career three starts against Cincinnati,
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: 1-2 with an earned run average of 4.42. That's your
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: pitching matchup, and that'll do it for Guardians Warm-Up.
• 38:46
