  Speaker 1: All right, I'm joined this hour by G2 on NewsRadio
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: 570 WKBN, as well as we'll be taking your calls
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: till 6.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hello, G2.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Ron. How are you?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I'm well.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I want to start by, before we take calls and anything,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about the situation.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be fascinated to see what happens in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Kentucky tonight. I'm hoping Tom Massey won't lose. The odds
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: are probably in his favor that he will, based on
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you see the amount of money being spent against him
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and Hegseth going there and Trump being against him. Give
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: me your insight into what's going on in Kentucky. Why
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: is Tom Massey being targeted? Why are millions of dollars
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: coming in from outside lobbyists to get rid of this guy?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Give me your thought process. And why should we care?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, this whole thing comes because Thomas
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Massey committed some unforgivable sins. And and there were really
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: two of them primarily the first one was when the
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: deal was cut to make the epstein files go away
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and protect the people that were in those files thomas
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: matty didn't accept the deal thomas matty said this is
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: a major issue to voters and this this can't just
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: be cast aside and and we all know because we've
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: talked a lot about child trafficking that that this This
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: thing Epstein was doing, of course, it was a Mossad operation.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Most people believe that seems to be correct. CIA was
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: probably involved. We know it was some kind of a
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: weird leverage tool, right? It was a tool to get
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: leverage over government officials and rich people, whatever. But this
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: was only the tip of the iceberg of the child
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: trafficking industry in the United States, the sexual exploitation industry
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: in the United States. It was bigger than any of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: us could have possibly known. So he said, no, I
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: won't accept that deal. Now, here's one of the keys.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I understood what Ted the Conservative was just saying. Here's
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the thing. Thomas Massey doesn't represent the Republican Party. Thomas
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Massey represents the people from this particular spot in Kentucky.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: So it isn't actually a team sport like soccer. That's
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: not what it is. And when you look at Massey's
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: voting record, for example, that 77% number, is about right
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: in terms of when he voted against the majority of Democrats,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: but his actual voting score by Turning Point USA, when
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: they do this, the Freedom Index, his scores are the best,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: possibly the best of everyone in Congress.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: What does that mean?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Define so we understand what you just said.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: What that means is that on issues where you have
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to vote for or against the Constitution, Thomas Massey votes
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: for the constitutional position more than anybody else in Congress. Now,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: that may not be absolute. We could argue about who's
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: at the top. He's definitely in the top ten. So
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: you've got 435 members in the House, and they all
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: vote worse than him. Now, here's the problem with the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Republican Party. It doesn't have the America First agenda as
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: its priority. Now, we know this because... This big, ugly,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: horribly expensive, ridiculous bill came out months and months ago. Now,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to be clear, I was opposed to the big, beautiful bill.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It is not beautiful about it. It came with a
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: $ 5 trillion ransom demanded by Republicans and Democrats in order
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: for little bits of the America First agenda to get through.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Not a lot, just a little. There were some good
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: things in that bill, to be clear. But mostly it
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: came with a $ 5 trillion bill.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: It kept a lot of Biden spending in it. That's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: what they say Massey was objecting to.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It took the Biden spending and then added more spending.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: You know, all the Doge things that could have been
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: dealt with, none of those were dealt with. So should
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: we stand with the Republican Party in canceling Doge? The
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Democrats didn't do that. Republicans did that. Republicans are in
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: control of the House, the White House, and the Senate.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: They're the ones that could have implemented or killed Doge,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and they killed it. Do you stand with the Republican
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Party on supporting waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption? I don't.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So this isn't a team sport. It's not as simple
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: as just, hey, listen, we want the little ball to
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: cross the little line more often that direction than the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: other direction.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: That's simple, clear.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Everyone has the same objective. Not so here. Because in
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the government, especially the federal government, but at all levels,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: There are massive amounts of OPM floating around, and everybody's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: taking their cut. We just had the spender of the House,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: who we were sold as a conservative Republican. He had
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: a score only, I think it was like 23% below
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Thomas Matthews. So he's, say, two-thirds as good as Thomas Matthews,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: or 75% as good as Matthews. Not a real conservative, but,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: you know, okay. he just stood at a podium and
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: said you have to let us do insider trading because
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: if we can't commit this illegal act illegal for you
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: not for us then you're going to get even worse
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: representation in congress we can't get representation now letting them
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: do insider trading and he says if you don't let
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: us do this if we can't legally commit this illegal
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: act you're going to get even worse representation because they
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: will just sell out for straight cash now as you
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: know the way it works The government gives somebody a contract.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Everybody on the committee that knows about the contract goes
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and buys the stock. Stock gets announced, pops. They get
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the profit. So they are selling us out to get
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: stock gains. He's saying if we didn't get the stock gains,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: we'd have to sell you out for cash. Or you'd
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: get even worse people coming to D.C., even worse than him.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: So I don't stand with Republicans because they don't stand
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: with us. What I stand with is critical issues i
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: stand on issues actual fiscal conservatism when a republican no
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: one in the in the republican party should have ever
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: been asked to vote for the big ugly horribly expensive
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: bill i understand it's the best trump could get because
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the party's against them matty then votes on the things
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: are important in alignment with fiscal conservatism and the constitution
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: that they are the libertarian fellow i don't care he's
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: more of a of a conservative voter and all these
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: fake conservatives in congress now there's a you know you
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: got guys in ohio pennsylvania they're very good but i've
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: got a lot of scores i'd macy's so we've got
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: to go now the two sins he said no the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: american people demand the export the exposure and prosecution of
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: any crimes related to the masada.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Operation and the epstein that was.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: The epstein files i mean yeah That's an unforgivable sin,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and for that he must be purged from Congress.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Just as Marjorie Taylor Greene supported.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Right, but if you go back to September of 24,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: everybody wanted that done. And then one day Trump makes
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: it a hoax. Now here's why this really, really matters.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: First of all, we've got to fight this human trafficking
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: industry in the United States. I understand Trump has to
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: protect these people in order to get anything done in government.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I understand that they funded him and all this. I
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: get that. But we've got to fight this industry. All right,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: so Matthew and this little group go out and they
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: get some of this exposed. It's still not all exposed.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: You still haven't seen anything done about it. And you
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: know what happened when Trump came out and said, Epstein's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: a hoax. Why are you still worried about it? He's
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: been dead four years. After it's on my desk, according
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: to Bondi, after passing out those fake binders to all
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: those silly social media people, The minute he said hoax,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: there was a fracture in the coalition that got him elected.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: A large number of people, specifically in the 18 to 39s,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: but other people as well, said, I did everything I
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: could do to get Trump elected. We had to fight
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: the entirety of the Republican and Democrat parties to get
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that done. We got it done. We got it done
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: with Democrats, independents, and huge numbers of Republicans. And now
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: he's abandoning the reasons we got him there. We're not
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: ever going to see justice. now that may you know
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: repeat the fox boomer watching fox it up empty the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: hopes that they moved on to something else cheetos or
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: something to huge numbers of voters this was absolutely a
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: critical issue because it was again the tip of the
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: iceberg of corruption fraud wasted abuse child trafficking all these
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: heinous crimes that are undermining our nation driving up our
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: taxes driving up our debt driving us into this horrible
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: situation where corruption is the paramount purpose of federal government
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: which it is all right so then you've got the
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: other unforgivable sin that thomas matty uh... committed he voted
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: against foreign aid he didn't say i don't like jewish
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: people i'm voting against israel got nothing to do with
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: jewish people and israel just one of many he said
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: we have forty trillion dollars in debt a two trillion
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: dollar deficit we're racking up a trillion dollars of interest
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: every ninety days we just added five trillion dollars no
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: i can't vote for that i'm voting against it that
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: wasn't voting against the republican voter who they're supposed to
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: have fidelity to that was that was voting against the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: corruption in the republican party in congress until we as
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: voters demand these people change and get away from this
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: football jersey nonsense we're never going to get this fixed
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: it's not football because if you fumble a ball the
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: other side doesn't pay you a billion dollars See, that's
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the difference. If you fumble the ball as a Republican,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: you get paid. Somebody gets a contract, you get to
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: trade the stock. All right, so he did these two things. Now,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: where does he disagree with Republicans on a regular basis?
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: It's always the fiscal stuff. He is absolutely relentless on
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: the fiscal issues. He will not yield. And they hate it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: because they're corrupt and they want massive spending. They don't
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: care that it be a balanced budget or that we
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: save the money. They only care that they get to
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: decide where the money goes, because that's how they get
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the maximum amount through the system. So it is overreach,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: for example, like when the government comes out and says
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: we're going to put in a FISA bill and we're
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: going to come after you even without a warrant. What
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: do you think Massey's position on that? I could tell
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: you what the Freedom Caucus says. Get a warrant. They
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: just did a social media post today from the Freedom
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Caucus saying exactly what Massey says. Now, does that mean
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: the Freedom Caucus are bad Republicans because they think the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: government should be constrained by the United States Constitution? No.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, the issues that he is standing up to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: them on are the issues that we all care about. Now,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: if you're telling me then in order to be a
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: worthy representative of your constituents, you have to do exactly
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: as you're told by the installed power base in Tel
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Aviv and D.C. I'm telling you then, I disagree with
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: you entirely. I think this decision on the Epstein files
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: turned out to hurt us horribly. The decision on the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Iran war, another crack in the system. The constant increase
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: in debt and corruption, a crack in the system. the
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: refusal to go after people for all the crimes they committed,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: abusing power, abusing people during the first term, another crack
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: in the system. And so Richard Barrett, who's one of
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the two good pollsters in the country, put out an
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: analysis of the various ages of voters today and where
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: they are now and where they were then in November 24. And, yeah,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: there's a difference. In November 24... We had massive support
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: for Trump and the Republicans among 18 to 39. That
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: has diminished significantly. Now we're being told, this Ed Gowrain
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: is a horrible guy. He just put up a post
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: that said that Thomas Bansky voted against the Save America Act.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: It's a blatant lie. It's absolutely not true. Guy puts
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: it out. He doesn't care. This guy's going to be
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a disaster. But you know what he is going to do?
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Exactly what he's told, because the first qualification he took
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: that he was advertised with is that he supports Israel
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: without limitation. Listen, I don't have, I mean, you know, look,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Israel is this controversial situation. Get it, I got it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: But that's not what we're electing here. We're not electing
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: a representative for the people of Israel. We're representing the
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: people of Kentucky. And when you look at the money
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: that's come in, The small donations that have flooded into
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Massey's camp in smaller numbers by far, those are all
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: coming to Massey. You know, the collection of small donations
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: by Massey versus by Galrain, outrageously different. Oh, another place
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: where Massey has been a real thorn in the side
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: is wars. His position is pretty clear. If we're going
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: to have a war, let's declare it. Let's stop with
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: this constant funding of all this stuff and calling it police,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: military action. Let's do that, okay? So, in In policy,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Matthew aligns with the Republican voters 95, 96% of the time,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: whereas John Thune gets an F. And we're supposed to
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: think that Thune's going to set the direction, and we
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: all got to adhere to that because he's some Republican.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I would fight Thune every single day. He's an enemy
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: of the state. He's an enemy of the people. He's
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: an enemy of the Constitution. He's corrupt and worthless. So
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: what we're at here now is this situation. where if
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: we don't change tactics pretty soon if something doesn't happen
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: that coalition that got trump elected elected is going to
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: be absolutely unrecoverable i don't understand people's confidence going into
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: the midterms and you could get involved in all the
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: thinking around redistricting redistricting thinking that's going to help maybe
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: it will right you get around a whole bunch of
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: things but if you don't have the voters the election
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: fraud isn't going to be fixed unless trump does something
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: by mid-july now here's another republican issue right if this
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: if this is such a an easy thing as a
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: soccer game why haven't they scored a point on the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: save america act the republicans have steadfastly refused to defend
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: america's elections to secure our election processes they have refused
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: they've refused at the state level they've refused at the
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: national level what little work they've done we i've spent
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: time talking to them about and celebrating but you've had
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: citizens in this fight for six years now.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Hold that thought.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Back with G2 and some great analysis, in my opinion,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and I hope yours as well. We'll pick it up
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: with where you left off after this.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I Heart Radio. Or by Estella's Pharma.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: Youngstown's news, weather, and talk station, 570 WKBN.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It's 525, Ron Verb talking with G2. So basically you're
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: saying from a conservative standpoint, Massey hits it out of
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the park.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Exactly. So if you define... standing with republicans as republican
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: voters matty beat them all hands down if you define
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: standing with republicans at standing with corrupt members of congress
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: who are destroying this country and refused to secure elections
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: well then matty's a failure if you define this as
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: standing with republicans who want to expand the surveillance state uh...
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: warrantless searches and undermine the constitution no matty does not
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: stand with them but the pretend that the Republican Party
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: is implementing the American agenda and that the way to
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: get it done is with more power for Thune and
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Spender Johnson. Look, Trader Thune and Spender Johnson could have
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: gotten this done a long time ago. They refused. Now,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: here's the impact. I pulled up Rich Ferris' numbers that
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: he put out. I think he put them out earlier today.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I saw them today. So in November 2024,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: we had 55.3% of voters eighteen to twenty nine fifty
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: five percent that's thirty seven percent today thirty seven at
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: the eighteen point drop we've got in thirty in the
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: ages thirty to forty four we're at sixty four percent
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: in november twenty four were forty seven percent today in
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: forty five to sixty four We were at 48%, we're
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: now at 43%. We lost 5% of the 45% to 64%.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: How do you do that? And then the 65%, this
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: is interesting, it goes the other way. 65 plus, we
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: were at 45 too, we're now at 56.4%. Now, what
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that means is that the group that supported Donald Trump
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: and got him elected was young, they were Republican, Independent,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: and Democrat, and they were focusing on the issues in
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the American agenda. Now, The group has skewed older, possibly
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: because a lot of the 65-pluses aren't with us now
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: a couple years later, possibly because some of the leftists
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: have realized what they did and they switched parties. Don't know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: But we've lost in the 18-29s, 30-44s, and 45-64s massive
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: amounts of support. Now, here's the thing. How do you
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: think you're going to get through the midterms without voters?
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: You're not going to make it up with election fraud.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: That's on the other side. How do you think you're
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: going to make Trader Thune and Spender Johnson... implement the
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: agenda that republican voters demand we're not going to do
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: without voters and you're not going to do with donations
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: because as you can see for the thomas massey thing
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: they'll pour money to this clown gal rain like crazy
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: as long as he agrees not to implement the american
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: agenda this guy's a neocon he's he's a pro-war guy
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: he's got it seems like he's got kind of a
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: bad attitude oh but he's a veteran listen You know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: we can all respect veterans in service and all that stuff.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: That doesn't mean that the nurses and the taxi drivers
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: aren't adding value to our society. It also doesn't mean
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that the veterans are going to go to Congress and
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: serve to support the Constitution and the American agenda. John
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: McCain was a veteran, trashed our health system single-handedly. That
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: thumb down that night, right? What did he ever do?
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: He was part of the team. Hold that thought. We'll
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: pick it up right there. This is... To me, fascinating.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I hope it is to you. Back with G2 in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: a minute.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: News Radio 570 WKVN. Now, Ron Verb on News Radio
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: 570 WKVN.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Talking with G2, I mean, it's going to be fascinating
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to see what the outcome happens tonight. The odds are
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: probably against Massey because of the amount of money being
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: spent against him. the misinformation out there about him, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the attacks on him.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, I've noticed that social media people
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: are posting things that are either just blatantly silly or wrong.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, absolutely, obviously wrong if you look at it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Or so twisted and tortured that they're just, you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: distortions and propaganda. So you can now quickly tell who's
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: either trying to get favor with Trump because they're, you know,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Trump retweet is a really powerful tool. It gets a
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: lot of followers. Or they are being paid. And if
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: you've got an account that's over, say, 50,000 followers on X,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: if you're at 400,000, 120,000, and you're saying these crazy things,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: odds are you're getting a check. Because remember, it's not
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: just Marian Adelson and Paul Singer. It's not just Steve Wynn.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Israel itself has increased many, many times its payments to
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: social media, and then had a meeting and said, we're
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: going to pay social media to put out our message.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: So this is an all-out assault. So unfortunately, I think
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you're probably right. But Thomas Massey's Republican Liberty Caucus scores 102.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Andy Biggs is 102. Eli Crane, 97. Scott Perry, 97.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: You cannot say this guy doesn't vote with Republicans. Eric
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Van Orden is a Navy SEAL. his heritage action score
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: sixty-three we're supposed to believe these baby fields are gonna
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: be awesome right the freedom index another group that dot
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: the scores fifty-eight for derrick van orden so you're told
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: you got a vote for this gal rain guy because
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: he went and fought listen i respect the fighting i
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: respect the fact that he went and and and and
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: served we all do right it's not after war after
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: vietnam where everybody was told they hate the soldiers that
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean he's going to be a good representative in
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: congress And we filled Congress with representatives who are military veterans,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: and they're destroying the country. And frankly, most of them
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: have no understanding of economics at all, because if you
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: spent 30 years in the military, what you mostly know
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: is the federal government never runs out of money, so
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: you can always get more. And so far in their lifetimes,
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: they haven't been wrong. They don't understand economics. They don't
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: understand the debt, because they've never had to live in
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: that world in the way that most people have. So
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I think this is a critical moment. If Trump wins
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: tonight and Massey loses, Trump loses. If Massey wins, Trump
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: gets another turn to play, another turn to play with
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the voters that otherwise would walk away. If I could
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: quickly touch on Ken Paxton, another polling result, 30% of
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: the people who are being polled said if, Republican voters
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about, 30% of Republican voters polled said if
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: If Cornyn wins, they will not show up in November.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: You've got to remember that this coalition that put Trump
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: in the White House always has the option of not
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: showing up, and they will not hit the polls if
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: they don't feel like their vote is going to matter
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: because they won't be represented either way. So by Trump
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: coming out on the election day, by the way, not
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: two months ago, and supporting Paxton, he obviously has given
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: those people a chance to vote again. I think Paxton's
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: going to do very well, I think, He's like, Cornyn's
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: going to be out. That's good, because Cornyn, while Republican,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: who votes with Republicans in Congress, he's a virus. Now,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: getting rid of Cornyn, great move for the American people, right?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: But the people in the Senate, watching him walk out
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: the door, watching Trump endorse the other guy, they're furious.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: They're angry. They want to control Trump. Everybody wants to
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: control Trump. They want to control the United States federal
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: government's printer. And if they can really pull off the trifecta,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: they'll control the United States military and get it to
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: do their bidding. So these people in the Senate are like, hey,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: we're the Senate. You've got to do what we say.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: We'll be here long after you're gone, Donnie. And he
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: just went after Paxton, or supported Paxton, who you may
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: remember was impeached in Florida. I mean, in Texas. I apologize.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: In Texas. Because he started exposing some of the real
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: estate fraud that was being committed by government officials. So
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: after that attempted impeachment, Many of the Republican representatives in
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: the legislature down there who brought those charges were removed
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: by the voters. We don't have that chance this time.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Whoever's going to be on the ballot in November is
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: already decided or will be decided today or soon. So
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: we've got to have people there that are going to
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: fight for us. I'll take Ken Paxton over Cornyn every
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: single day because he certainly can't be worse than And
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I suspect, based on his record, he'll be better. So
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: these are two critical things.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Even with your criticism of Trump, it isn't as though
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you say you'd rather have Biden or Harris or Gavin Newsom.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. But it's okay to be
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: critical of Trump and not go along with him on
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: everything that he stands for or some of the things
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that he's trying to do. There are people who think,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: with this reversal that Trump did, just to pick your brain,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: on Epstein and the reversal he did with this situation
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: in Iran... that Netanyahu has something on him. Is that
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a possibility?
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think that's it. If that was it,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: they'd have gotten it on him a long time ago.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't be president today. It's clear that he's not
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: protecting himself in the Epstein files. And we went through
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: this for years and studied everything. He's protecting the people
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: in the Epstein files who he needs to try to
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: get his agenda through. He's protecting the people who are
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: funding everything, right? He's protecting... he's trying to hold together
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: a coalition to try to salvage something in the America
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: First agenda.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's protecting the people that were engaged in
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: sex with minors. I mean, that's just wrong. It's just wrong.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they were protected by Clinton. They were protected
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: by Bush. They were protected by Obama. They were protected
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: by Biden. And now they're protected by Trump because they're
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: immune to law. They're immune to morals, ethics, and law.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: That's why, I mean, when you hear people say, we
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: don't have a legitimate government anymore, can you say they're wrong? No.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: They spent trillions of dollars driving up inflation, literally stealing
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: money from Americans, driving wages down with mass migration, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: then claiming to represent us? No, it's not a legitimate government.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And then part of the criticism you could have is,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: where are the people... that pulled some of these shenanigans.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Where's the judicial system in.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: All of this?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: It doesn't exist.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: They're immune.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Well, not in Epstein, but I mean in everything else,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: whether it's Fauci and COVID, or whether it's some of
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the other things that we've seen that there seems to
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: be no... We heard Pam Bondi say all the time
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: about justice, and it never materialized, and it still hasn't materialized.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, if.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I'm hopping on, you know, as I look at Trump,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I say to myself, I don't know anything more about
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the shooter in Butler today than I knew when it happened.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything more about the potential shooter down
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: at the golf course today than when it happened. I
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: don't really know anything more about the JFK assassination. I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: don't really know anything more about all the stuff that
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to know more about.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I heard today that Thomas Massey did the JFK assassination,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: so we may be getting close to that.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: There you go, because they're going to pin that on
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: him next. Let's take some calls, okay? With G2, you're
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: on the air.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: G2, I'm more worried about the economy. You've seen interest
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: rates going through the roof in the last few days.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: It got worse even today. $ 40 trillion in debt. I
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: was talking about it yesterday. I think I might have
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: been a little cynical about it, but our debt to
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: GDP is 125%. The Japanese bond rate It's gone through
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: the roof, highest in 30 years. They're 220% debt to GDP.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: They're the largest foreign owner of our debt. When their
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: poo-poo hits the fan and they start selling off our debt,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: that's going to make the price of bonds go down
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: and it's going to make the ones we hold worth less.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: So this has happened all over the world. Germany, the UK,
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: interest rates are going through the roof everywhere. And we
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: have more debt that keeps piling on and it's hard
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: to even fix it or even try to find a
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: way to fix it. And Paul Volcker in the early
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: 80s He put interest rates through the roof. But that
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: was when we had an economy and our debt to
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: GDP was 25%. We're in a debt spiral. So talking
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: about Thomas Massey and who's going for what, I agree
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: it's a big deal, but we got bigger problems going
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: on right now.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Well, first, yes, but the Massey fight is today's fight.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: And Thomas Massey is one of the guys who is
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: fighting to address the very issues you're raising, which is
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: why we're told we can't have him in Congress anymore.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It's exactly the point you raised that's one of the
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: core reasons that he has to be removed. It's why
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I've been told he doesn't vote with Republicans, because he
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: opposed the $ 5 trillion ransom that came with that big, ugly,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: stinky bill. Now, Japan and China stopped buying our bonds
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: in about, I don't know, gosh, it's been a long time,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: like 2015, I think. They've been working off their holdings
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: of U.S. bonds for a very, very long time. So
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: they've been doing that. They don't want to crash the
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: market and hurt themselves either. But they've been trading out
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: of our bonds. So I'm not that worried about their holdings.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: What I'm worried about is their economy. And, you know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: you remember Japan lost decades where they just basically didn't grow.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Their cost of living became so high based on, like,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: the cost of real estate in Tokyo, for example, that
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: they were living three, four generations to a house. It's
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: a tough place to be when you're in a very
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: expensive island that has no resources and wants to be
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: the world's manufacturer. So they've got economic troubles that are
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: multi-decade and have to be worked out. But this government
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: spending and then making the economy dependent on government spending
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: like a heroin addict is dependent on heroin. So now
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: they say, well, hey, if you cut the fraud, what's
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: going to happen to Lamborghini sales? What's going to happen
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: to all the people who work at Lamborghini dealers? if
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: you cut the fraud how you gonna get people have
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: been in the country for four years buying half a
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: million to a million and a half dollar homes? What's
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: going to happen to the home prices? If you stop
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: the 500,000 Chinese spies from coming in to pay tuition,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: what's good? See, now we're addicted, and we have to
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: wean ourselves from that. It's not interest rates that are
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the fix. It is weaning ourselves from that federal spend.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: That's where the fix is. And we've got to find
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: a way to do it.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: We know that there's, there's literally no way out. If,
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: if the rates go up, we don't have, we don't
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: have the luxury of having an economy where we build
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: things and can actually just overcome our debt anymore. Well,
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: we don't have that. So when interest rates go up
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: for the first time in 40 years, America's had falling
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: interest rates for 40 years. We just progressively getting things
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: cheaper and cheaper to borrow. And that's including paying on the,
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: the interest on all.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Of our debt.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: When our interest keeps going up and up and up.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: Now we don't, we don't, What do we do? The
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: only option is printing more money. And if Japan sells
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: their bond..
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. All you're going to get is hyperinflation
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: if you do that. And that's just the problem. That's
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: why we're in a... This is a tough position. Your
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: concern is correct. We've talked about this for literally years now.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a horrible thing. That's why I
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: was so opposed to the big, ugly bill. Because, yeah, okay,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: I like it a little bit of the America First thing.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I like the locking into the tax cuts, which, by
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the way, both Democrats and Republicans had to do, or
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: their donors would have killed them. But the $ 5 trillion bill,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the constant spending, the abolition of Doge, you know, what
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: we've got to do is Doge it. We've got to
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: get rid of the fraud first. Then we've got to
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: start cutting into the actual spending. And in doing that,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: you've got to change the regulatory burden so that you
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: unleash the the american economic machine so you're right but
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: it's this isn't a a simple thing it's a significantly
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: complex transition but it can't be higher interest rates to
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: just kill the economy we're not going to recover from
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: that now it can't be just uh... more spending to
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: sort of inflate our way out of it we're already
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: overspent right we're already inflated to death i was talking
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: to everybody who's like Mid-30s, one child in the house,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: one on the way, owns a home, and both parents work.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: And he went through the list of things that cost
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: him more today than it cost him three years ago
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: or four years ago, five years ago. And he was
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: set up for a very, very easy way to go.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: He had a house he could easily afford. Everything was great.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Now he had a couple kids. You jack up the
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: cost of health care. You keep putting on the taxes.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: His taxes have increased, I think, twofold in property taxes.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Suddenly this extremely responsible American is facing real financial problems.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: We've got to fix that.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: And he's doing everything right. Everything. There's three ways to
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: get out of this. You either tax the population more,
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: you spend less, which is not going to happen, or
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: you print more money, or you find more buyers for
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: our debt. And we're running out of places to sell
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: our debt to. So I don't know if you've looked
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: into it. I don't know if you've looked into Clarity.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Have you been paying attention to Clarity?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: All right. A quick comment and more calls. Go.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: The stablecoin option that they're trying to develop is specifically
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: an effort to try to be able to sell U.S.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: debt directly to consumers around the world without going through
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: the brokerage wall that they have to penetrate now. I
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: am not a fan of the central bank digital currencies.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: I'm very concerned about Trump's love of digital. Because, look,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: what you do with Bitcoin is one thing, but the
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: government getting involved, that's not a good thing. But I
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: think the stablecoin financing effort is where they're going to
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: get it. The problem is that's going to give them
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: the ability to spend more. We've got to get ourselves
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: off of this spending addiction.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Alec, thank you. You're on the energy, too.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Hey, guys.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: How are you guys doing?
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Moving along. Go ahead.
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: Okay, I wasn't calling you about the breaking news from Obama,
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: but G2, I'm listening to what you said, right? But
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: I always thought, if you knew of a crime and
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: you covered it up, that made you just as guilty.
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: So that would make all presidents guilty.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: News Radio 570, WKBN.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: All right, try to get it wrapped up here, but
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: go ahead with your question.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: Real quick, getting back to the bomb again, with Iran,
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: that's the main reason we went to war. But if
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: you look at North Korea, which is the most evil
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: empire on the globe, they've had the bomb now for
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: almost 20 years, and they have never attacked another country
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: in that time, with the exception in 1968 they attacked
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: our Pueblo, seized the ship, and I think they shot
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: down another airliner. But outside of those two instances, there's
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: been no use of a bomb. And if you look
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: at the Israelis that have 200 nuclear weapons... I'm more
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: afraid of them using it before North Korea or Iran
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: would use it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Quick comment, G2?
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: North Korea is on a really short leash held by China,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: and so I think there's certainly their own restraint. They
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: know they'd be eliminated as a country if they did anything,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: but they also have China holding them back because China
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: is dependent upon, remember, export markets to survive. They need
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: the world economy functioning, first of all. So I think
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: you're right about that. I just don't see anybody saying, hey,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: let's give these guys the bomb. In fact, it'd be
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: nice if we could get it back from Pakistan and
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: some others. You're concerned about Israel. If they're faced with
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: an existential threat, I think they would absolutely use nukes.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, good analysis.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: With G2, you're on the air.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: You've reached the Boss Lady sex slave hotline. We're sorry.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: All of our sex slaves are currently busy with other customers.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: I got to go.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: All right. Doing a little humor there. All right, G2.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: So tonight should be interesting. I mean, I would say
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the odds are not in Massey's favor when you got
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: that kind of money, when you see the power of
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the influencers online or Fox News or The amount of
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: money put in and the Trump people to try to
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: get one guy out of office is very, very– you
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: must say something strange is here when you look at
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: that amount of money being spent there and where it's
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: all coming from. So we shall see what happens tonight,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: maybe some analysis tomorrow, post-mortem, if you will.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: It's going to be fascinating, and you're right. There will
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: be many, many messages sent to lots of people, depending
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: on this outcome. If you're in Congress, no one will
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: dare step out if he loses.
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: Bye-bye.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: All right, G2. More analysis tomorrow. Stay tuned.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Guardians coming up next. ABC News, I'm Wayne Cabot. We're
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: learning there will be perpetual protection for the president under
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: his settlement with the IRS. ABC's Stephen Portnoy.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: An order from the acting attorney general has the Justice
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: Department agreeing it is forever barred and precluded from pursuing
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: any currently pending matters against Donald Trump, his family, or
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: Trump-affiliated entities. The order specifically mentions any tax returns filed
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: up to the date of the settlement of the lawsuit.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: The order, which does not spell out or speak to
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: any matters which might be pending, is signed by Todd Blanche,
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: who previously served as the President's personal defense lawyer.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: About the other part of the settlement, Vice President J.D.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Vance says that using nearly $ 2 billion taxpayer dollars to
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: compensate wronged Americans would finally put an end to what
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: happened on January 6th.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: Let's turn the page on this thing that we did
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: under the last administration where we tried to throw people
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: in prison because they had the wrong politics.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Let's throw people in prison who broke the law.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: He didn't rule out paying compensation to people convicted of
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: assaulting police officers that day. ABC's Alex Stone is in
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: San Diego with new information about the teenagers who shot
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: up an Islamic center, killing three before killing themselves.
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: We have learned from sources that they were recording and
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: live streaming this event as well. Law enforcement is reviewing
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: very graphic video that was posted to a Gore website
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: that showed this unfolding live and the end of it
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: happening live as well, where they took their own lives.
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: And so that is a part of this investigation. But
• 38:09
  Speaker 10: it appears that they planned this. They had a lot
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: of hate. And they arrived here at the center yesterday.
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: And they carried this out.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: President Trump says he was an hour away from ordering
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: more strikes on Iran this week. But then Gulf allies
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: pressured him to hold off. Yeah, it was all done.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: The boats, the ships are all loaded.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: They're loaded to the brim.
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: And we're all set to start.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Brent crude at $ 107 a barrel now. You're listening to
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: ABC News.
