  Speaker 1: There we go, 3.07 in the afternoon. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It's Friday, June 5th. It's a gorgeous day outside, to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: say the least. And I do mean gorgeous. It's 85
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: degrees and just a nice breeze. It's blowing perfect weather.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: That's not too humid, just one of those great days.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Hope you get a chance to enjoy it as we
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: go along here this afternoon. Rain in a forecast they
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: say for tomorrow. It's been awful dry. I mean, we
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: had that stretch of rainy weather. Seemed like it was
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: raining every day. Lately, we've had a stretch of dry days,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but got to break it up, I guess, with a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: shower once in a while to keep things from drying out.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: So that's how things are looking as far as weather
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. And I'm sure that the weekend in general
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: overall should be pretty nice for us. So we'll keep
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you posted on that. Here's the problem with the Democrats.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: A bill replacing mother and father with gender neutral terms
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: passes in New York and heads to the governor's desk.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: New York Democrats recently passed a bill that would remove
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the words mother and father from parts of state law,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: sending a legislation to Governor Hochul's desk for final approval.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Under the new bill targeting state child custody and parental laws,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: mother becomes gestating parents and father becomes non-gestating parents and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: paternity becomes parentage. Can you imagine this? This is what's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: wrong with the Democrat Party. And this is obviously in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: New York. But the same thing applies to the Democrat
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Party nationwide. They want to change the language. Do you
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: remember when Disney changed at their parks where they say
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: boys and girls? They changed it. Now they changed it
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: back to boys and girls once Trump got elected. But
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: when the Democrats were in charge, they were so politically
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: bizarre on our language that you couldn't say boys and girls.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And now you can see it's still taking place in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: New York by eliminating the terms mother and father. Let's see.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Here's one out of Wisconsin. This goes back to March 4th, 2025.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Last year, Democrat Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers proposed to apparently
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: remove gender language from state law. So he wanted to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: remove the term mother. He wanted to change mother to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: inseminated person. And paternity to parentage. He also said several
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: other gender terms need to be changed. References to wife
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: or husband are changed to spouse in a proposal. In
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: other places, the word father is changed to parent, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: mother is swapped out for the phrase parent who gave
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: birth to the child. These people are crazy. I mean,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: these people are absolutely crazy. This is the Democrat Party,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and they are crazy. I mean, they're absolutely crazy when
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you get this kind of stuff. What else did I–
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: did you happen to see– do you believe the polls?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Does anybody believe the polls anymore? Hard to say, right?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Really hard to say. But guess what? Here you go.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Listen to this. Fox News poll. Democrat unity, Republican crossover
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: shape Ohio Senate race. Are you sitting down? President Donald
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Trump carried Ohio by more than 11 percentage points in 2024,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: but a new Fox News survey finds his standing in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a Buckeye state has deteriorated. A development that is benefiting
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Democrat Sherrod Brown in a Senate race. By a 15-point margin,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Ohioans view Trump negatively. 42% hold a favorable opinion. And 57%,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: an unfavorable one. That's more than a 20-point swing compared
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to his plus-six net positive rating, 52-46 in November 2024.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: The Poll of Ohio Voters released Wednesday finds Trump's ratings
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: are about on par with the views of Republican incumbent
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Senator John Husted. 41% favorable, 50% unfavorable. While Challenger and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: former Ohio Senator Brown is viewed significantly more positively. 53% positive, 44% negative.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That helps Brown outperform Houston by a 53% to 45%
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: margin in the race to fill the Senate's seats. His
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: eight-point lead is outside the poll's margin of sampling error.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So they're saying what? When they did a poll of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the Senate race in Ohio... The guy that Senator Brown,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: who agreed with everything Joe Biden did, Senator Brown, who
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: agrees with changing mother and father and all this wacky
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Democrat stuff, he agrees with all this nonsense. He is
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a far-left progressive. I mean, he was right there with
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, right there with the Democrats, open border, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: he goes for all this crazy stuff. Goes for all
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of it. And according to this, then, in Ohio... It's
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a 53% to 45% lead. It's an eight-point lead in
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the poll. 98% support among Democrats compared to Houston's 86%
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: among Republicans. Brown also receives backing from outside the Democrat base, 31%
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of non-mega-Republicans. And 13% of all Republicans, only 2% of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Democrats pick Houston. Non-white voters favor Brown by 58 points.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So here's Sherrod Brown, as I say, that agreed with
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: everything that Joe Biden stood for. And he's a far-left Democrat.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And the Democrats want to get rid of the words
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: mother and father. All back to this nonsense. And he's leading...
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: In the Fox News poll for the Senate race in Ohio,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: by eight points. Jeez. It's hard to imagine. And Trump's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: popularity is down. I suspect that's because of the war.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I suspect that's because of the war. And I suspect
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that's because of the economy. Like it or not, the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: war on economy... are big issues. And I suspect his
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: popularity ratings are down. Trump, that is, because of the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: war and the economy. Sherrod Brown is a longtime well-recognized name,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: but he was defeated by Bernie Marino. Now, John Husted
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: is running against him. Husted was appointed by DeWine to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: take the seat of J.D.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Vance.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And consequently, he's now running for that position. And liberal
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: progressive Sherrod Brown is beating him in the polls.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: What do you make of that? There you go. There's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the latest. I mean, it's just, it's insane to me. Because,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats will go right back to the craziness.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's where that party is anymore. That's why
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I say when you take a look at this, the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: party that wants to eliminate mother and father and change
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: all of these things, and they do. This is how
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: they are. And if you think they can fix the economy,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: good luck with that. They destroyed it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: 330-729-9977.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: 330-729-9977.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: We'll get you through to us. I see that Denny
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Malloy was successful in becoming the Republican chairman down in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Trumbull County. Seems like the Republican Party in Trumbull County
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: has a lot of controversy from within. From within. There's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of fracturing from what I read in a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: trip with the Republican Party in Trumbull County. We shall
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: see how things go as time goes on. You're on air.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Hello, Ronaldo.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: I'm 74 years of age and I've voted in many,
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: many elections. I don't think I've missed half a dozen
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: in my lifetime because I make it a point to vote.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: i voted for democrats i voted republicans but you know
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: ron who never loses the very rich very powerful corporations uh...
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: daily military-industrial complex you know we left right we could
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: tend to uh... fight democrat republican something that i agree
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: with democrats and so what same for republicans but the
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: but i believe that as long as we fight left
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: to right and right to left They're very rich and
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: they're powerful. They're happy to have us go at it
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: because they never seem to lose, Ron. Now, do you
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: think that if our name was on Epstein's list, whether
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: Democrat or Republican, what are the chances they'd hush that
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: up if it was just the Joe Bag of Donuts
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: and the guy that goes.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: To work there? It wouldn't be hushed up at all.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: The inside trading goes on. Let's bash equal opportunity bashers.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: What Conor Biden did, if your son or my son
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: or somebody else did, they would be in jail. How
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: about Trump and his family and all his businesses being
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: exempt from the IRS? I mean, that's the plan anyhow.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: There's two sets of rules. There's two sets of justice.
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: And as long as we keep fighting back and forth, which,
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: you know, I agree with some points, and you vote
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: for who you want. but you better pay attention to
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: really use pull the strings it where the oppression comes
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: from at more than left to right i think it
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: comes from pop-up and i think that's about somebody at
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: voted for many many times And that's what I've observed
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: in my lifetime.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So you observe the double standard that's going on. You're
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: saying there's a double standard of justice?
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: Justice, justice, laws. How about laws? Justice and laws. You
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: have taxation. You name it. There is one set of
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: rules for the upper, upper 1%, whoever they are, millionaires, billionaires,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: rich and powerful, and everyone else has a different set
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: of rules. Money buys you the best lawyers in the country.
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: And I guess that's the way it's set up. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: if you can afford the best lawyers, your chance of
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: beating the rap is a whole lot better than somebody
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: being on public assistance with the same legal problems.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: And in your opinion, it doesn't matter if it's Republicans
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: or Democrats, right? It's just the system, if I understand
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you correctly.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, some issues, just like you were talking about the
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: pronouns and the men in the ladies' locker room and
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: all that stuff. And I can cite Republican issues, too. Sure,
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: those are important. But as long as we go back
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: and forth and we're occupied giving it to each other,
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: you know, arguing back and forth and fighting and who
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: knows what, and there's a lot of disruption going How
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: about the people at the top? When gasoline went to
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: $ 5 a gallon almost, are they still getting along okay?
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: The Heinz's and the Mellon's and the Rockefeller's? They're doing okay.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're doing terrific. I mean, they pay more.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: And how about the corporations? How about the gas companies?
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: Do you think the gasoline will come down as fast
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: as it went up? Record profits on all their businesses?
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I mean..
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: So there's definitely two different sets of rules, regulations, laws, taxes.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: That's my observation in some sense.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Do you foresee it ever changing? Because my answer to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you is I do not. I agree.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Make no mistake. I agree.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: What do you think.
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: About the golden rule?
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: Those that have the gold make the rules.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with everything you're saying.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: The president, I'm really concerned he's going to end up
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: with an Obama-type settlement. Three things when this puzzle started.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: The Strait of Hormuz, regime change, and the nuclear capability
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: of Iran. That's where my three things were. So when
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: he started, I was very glad to see these top-level
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: people get killed because they're absolutely no good. But there
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: was a very bad planning. They thought maybe the people
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: were going to operate, stick over the government. Apparently they
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: didn't know well enough that people without guns cannot take
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: over for the people that have guns. So as we
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: sit here today, after spending a billion dollars a day
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: to the deficit, a billion of the dollars a day,
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: the regime is hard-lined more so because they've withstand a
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: couple months of bombing, and they're still there. The Strait
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: of Hormuz is tougher to get through now than it
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: was before the war started. And how's anything with the
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: nuclear stockpile? How's that going?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you're making perfect sense to me.
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: Well, boy, you've got to be in trouble.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, this is what..
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: You know, everything we've been through, the cost of this,
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: and don't forget, some service people were killed in Kuwait.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: There was a missile zone. But the three big items
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: in my book before this started, I think they're either
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: the same or they're worse. And now President Trump, God
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: bless him, he's done some good things, but he messed
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: up big time on this.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You mean the war?
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, the war.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm sorry.
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: I like the border policy. He gave me a nice
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: tax rebate last year, and he doubled my standard deduction
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: as a senior citizen. But the wars, the war in Vietnam,
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: pick a war that we didn't understand the culture, we
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: didn't understand the people. So how are we doing today
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: as opposed to when this all started with Iran? You
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: tell me.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that I think we would be
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: doing far better if this never would have happened. In
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: every way. In every single way, I think we would
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: have been much better off. Would you agree?
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: A billion and a half a day on the credit card.
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: Maybe not as much now. Our stockpile of munitions is depleted.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: The emergency oil supply being run down. You know, Pittsburgh airport,
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: they stopped some flights that weren't profitable.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: Stand by.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Stand by.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Stand by. This guy makes a lot of sense. I'll
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: be right back with him.
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: I heart radio. 570 WKBN.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I just want you to know, I sat here as
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I was listening to you make your statements. And I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: want you to know, I agree with everything you've said.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Every observation that you made in your. you know, that
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: comes from years of wisdom. I'm sitting here saying, I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: agree with every one of those observations, and I don't
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: see any of them changing anytime soon. I don't care
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: who's in power. And I think that's what..
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you caught that a little bit.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: I said about the Pittsburgh International Airport has dropped flights
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: due to the cost of fuel. There was a flight
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: to California, I forget which airlines, because they couldn't charge enough...
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: that was a profitable buff so this list is going
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: to get worse before it gets better with this price
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: of i mean the petrol the fuel angry you know
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: the drop of their lives are dropping flights of the
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: one that are flying and uh... i just wish people
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: would say oh boy all democrats are wrong all republicans
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: are on campy that's lazy that's intellectually lazy i don't
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: agree with everything republican does a lot of agree with
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: every good democrat does so i just wish people would
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: call it as they see it you know i'm saying
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: that Pay attention to what's happening from up above, folks,
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: because they seem to get better off. It doesn't seem
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: to affect them. And as long as we're bickering back
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: and forth, they're going.
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: To be happy.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Well stated. Bravo.
• 16:27
  Speaker 12: Ron, I appreciate your show.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: Keep up the good work.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate everything that guy had to say.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Totally agree with him. You're on air.
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, on the way back from Rogers Flea Market today,
• 16:36
  Speaker 13: I saw gas at $ 3. 99. So it is starting to
• 16:39
  Speaker 13: come down.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, see, it's like, oh, it's down
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to $ 4 a gallon. Well, okay, so? I mean, it
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: was $ 2.
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: 50.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I understand what this guy's saying. And I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: don't know, where would we have been economically if he
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: would have never got into this mess in the first place?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And now he's trying to figure out a way to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: get out of this mess.
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: Well, the one thing I disagree with what he said
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: was that he doesn't understand the culture and who he's
• 17:09
  Speaker 13: dealing with in Iran. I think he actually does. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: think he totally understands it. So he's going at their throats.
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: It's the only way. So we did well at Rogers today,
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: and Brian Massey had an update this morning. I don't
• 17:24
  Speaker 13: know if you got to watch.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: It on YouTube.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I did not. What is the update?
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: So we're going to continue to collect for another year,
• 17:30
  Speaker 13: and we'll try to get everything in by June 1, 2027,
• 17:34
  Speaker 13: to get on the 2027 ballot. And I don't think
• 17:37
  Speaker 13: we'll have a problem doing that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Did he give a number as far as signatures?
• 17:40
  Speaker 11: No.
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: Nope.
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: No numbers since the one he gave in April, which
• 17:45
  Speaker 13: was around 300,000. So we know we could double that
• 17:48
  Speaker 13: in a year.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And you want to get $ 600, 000. And you met all
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the requirements of the 44 counties. We did, yep.
• 17:54
  Speaker 16: Well past that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Right. I mean, that is a monumental effort. I mean,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: as I've told everybody, traditionally when you try to get
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a constitutional amendment on the Ohio ballots, you hire organizations
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to collect these signatures, and it costs millions of dollars.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Millions of dollars. This is all volunteers.
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: For everyone who's being negative, it's like, well, how long
• 18:21
  Speaker 13: do you think it should take 2,000 circulators to get
• 18:23
  Speaker 13: 600,000 signatures? You know, more people need to get off
• 18:28
  Speaker 13: their chair. I did pick up another signing station here
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: in Mahoning County. It's Creekside Auto in Struthers.
• 18:35
  Speaker 15: Great patriot.
• 18:36
  Speaker 13: You should stop by and sign the petition. So it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: just not enough people got involved. So it's on our backs,
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: I guess, to finish it. And we will.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I certainly think another year. That's a year from today.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Did you say next year, next June?
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 18:54
  Speaker 13: Well, yeah, it's going to have to go on the
• 18:56
  Speaker 13: November 27 ballot. So if we can get another 300,000,
• 19:00
  Speaker 13: which we will, or even more than that, that's all
• 19:03
  Speaker 13: the better. That's all the better. We're just going to
• 19:06
  Speaker 13: keep going. You know, a lot of people haven't even
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: heard of our initiative, believe it or not. When you're
• 19:11
  Speaker 13: out talking to people they haven't even heard about.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: How is that? I mean, doesn't that trouble you that
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: somebody could be that oblivious to what's going on?
• 19:20
  Speaker 13: Well, yes and no. I mean, not everybody gets a
• 19:22
  Speaker 13: newspaper anymore. People get their news from the web.
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: It just depends on where.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: You go, I guess.
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: Not everybody has Facebook. Not everybody listens to the Ron
• 19:33
  Speaker 13: Verbe show in Mahoney County and Stark and all these counties.
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: They should.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Damn right they should. But, you know, I mean, it's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: just really strange to me. I mean, it's strange to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: me how, I don't know, how uninformed so many people are.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They're just kind of living in their own bubble and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: they don't want to, hey, man, I don't want to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: know what's going on. I don't want any negativity. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: just want to just kind of enjoy the moment. But
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you have a responsibility, I think.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: In our..
• 20:02
  Speaker 16: News Radio 570 WKVN. Back to it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: Now, Ron Verb on NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And Ron Verb, you're on the air.
• 20:17
  Speaker 11: That young lady's hardcore, man. Keep it up.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I sit back and I look at, with a great
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: deal of admiration, I mean, it's easy to go sign
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: a petition, but the amount of time and hours that
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: she puts out there and volunteers is When you're at
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: home in the air conditioning or you're washing your car,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: enjoying your family, and she's out gathering signatures, not just
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: her and Becky and a group of people that are
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: with her. These are wonderful people, great volunteers that put
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: their free time out there and gather this stuff. I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: just think it's admirable. I mean, I'd be the first
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: one to tell you I could not do that. I
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: could not devote that much time. And for you to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: show up and to sign a petition, I think, is
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the least... least you can do?
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: Dennis Prager, uh, said there's three types of people. Uh,
• 21:10
  Speaker 11: there's the fighters, those who help the fighters and those
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: who do nothing. I never want to, I never want
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: to be in that last group of doing nothing. So the, uh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: The pro-life people drop off flyers every election here on
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: our porch and send me a text message, hey, your
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: things are there. When you go to church, hand these
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: out if you would.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: It's just doing something. It's just doing something. Because I can't,
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: I couldn't take it if my side loses and I
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: didn't do anything to fight for them.
• 21:49
  Speaker 17: You know?
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: And it's... I'm not.
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: Asking you, Ron, to be a cheerleader, but when the
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: other issues are out there. So, okay, you have personal
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: reasons to be against the Iran thing. You have fiscal
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: reasons to be against it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 11: That's all fine. I look at the other side of
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: the ledger and go, border, bam.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I still support Trump over any of the Democrats. I
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: support Houston over Sherrod Brown. Make no mistake about it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I can be critical of this particular thing, but the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Democrats are certainly not an option at all.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: I know, and we have Jews, Bernie Sanders, I know
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: they're not practicing, Charles Chuck E. Cheese Schumer, supporting Graham Platner.
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: You have the Nazi death camp tattoo on your chest.
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: You people have called Trump and all the people supporting
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: Trump Nazis for 10 years.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And you're defending one. You're defending a guy with that tattoo.
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: Obviously, you don't care about Nazism at all. This guy
• 23:09
  Speaker 11: actually is. You never said it about Trump before when
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: you were invited to your parties and your weddings of
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: your daughter and everything else. He was fine. Now, all
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: of a sudden, he's a Nazi, but the guy with
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: the Nazi tattoo is not. People, what are you doing?
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: And then, oh, I'm sexting little girls. Oh, I'm beating
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: up the other lady.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: No.
• 23:34
  Speaker 11: You really have dropped all standards, right? When I'm a kid,
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: there's a Jim Traffick and a Daniel Patrick Moynihan. speaking
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: the truth, saying what's right as Democrats. Not the only ones,
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: but now the whole political system is so bad, you
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: have a political hack only there because her daddy gave
• 24:03
  Speaker 11: her the job, Lisa Murkowski. I'll always vote against Trump.
• 24:08
  Speaker 11: You have Mitch McConnell, who it's the Republicans' fault that
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: he's still there. The guy stands up there and goes
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: blank for 36 seconds on multiple occasions, and you Republicans
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: think it's okay that he's still there. It's not okay.
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: It's not okay. A guy who just made money being
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: there his whole entire career, gave his wife a job,
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: got her all the money in the world, and the
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: deals with the communist Chinese— oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't speak
• 24:44
  Speaker 11: ill of the communist Chinese— or the Nazis, because you
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: have a bunch of callers now who appreciate the Nazis
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: and Communist Chinese and say the illegals don't take anything
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: from America. But it's okay. It is wrong to sit
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: there and say, if you said, oh, all Republicans are
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: right and all Democrats are wrong. That's not true. Can
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: you vote for a Democrat?
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: No.
• 25:11
  Speaker 11: Because even if, like the guy arguing with you the
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: other day, well, Ron, I don't like transgenderism. I don't
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: like boys beating up on girls in sports. And I
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: don't like, it's okay. But the people you vote for do.
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: And they support it. And they won't back off from it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: It's just the way it is. I don't want it
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: to be like that. I wish you could vote for
• 25:36
  Speaker 11: a Democrat today. You can't. If you have any kind
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: of conscience, you can't. They don't want to open the border.
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: They don't want. How long do we fight against prescription
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: drug prices? And Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi said, well, well, well,
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: you know what? If we make our prices lower, we
• 25:55
  Speaker 11: won't have the entrepreneurism and they won't be making new drugs.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Guess what? Yes, they will.
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: And I think that's what I was going to say. Another, what,
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: 50 drugs on the, hey, we get the same price
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: as anybody else in the world. It's only fair. The
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: other thing Abraham Simpson never answered was, well, what would
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: you do if you don't like the tariffs?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: What would you do?
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: But if you don't have an answer, because there's not
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: a good answer except for what Trump does, or what
• 26:29
  Speaker 11: Ross Perot said, or what Pat Buchanan said. That's the
• 26:33
  Speaker 11: correct answer. Trump's the only one smart enough, strong enough
• 26:38
  Speaker 11: to do it, and willing to take the slings and
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: arrows from his own side. The Republicans are running against
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: him just as much as the Democrats are. And, again, did...
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: Is it Alec or Alex?
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Alec.
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: Okay, did Alec ever call in and answer Jake, the Zionist,
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: question about, what are we going to do when Ron
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: turns 103 and he's like, oh, I just can't do
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: this job anymore. There's too much stress when you're 103, right?
• 27:15
  Speaker 11: What are we supposed to do? Like the super young
• 27:19
  Speaker 11: lady was just on saying, some people don't listen to
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: Ron Rourke.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Hard to imagine, isn't it? It's just hard to imagine.
• 27:29
  Speaker 11: It's sad to imagine.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: It is. It's depressing.
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: Casey Malone will be turning over in her grave.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: She's not dead. She's still alive. What?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:38
  Speaker 13: What?
• 27:39
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 27:39
  Speaker 11: What's going on? How come?
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 27:43
  Speaker 18: All right.
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: But seriously, how are we all going to stay connected
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: and help this young lady fight? Right?
• 27:49
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll do it for as long as we can.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: But we have to have that plan in place for
• 28:03
  Speaker 11: what we're going to do because we have to keep fighting.
• 28:07
  Speaker 11: We made it this far and things are a lot better, right?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: More illegals leaving than coming in. For the first time
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: in history, we sent somebody to jail for 40 years
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: for doing the fraud. It's taking off the American taxpayer.
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: That's what I'm saying about all the good news. You
• 28:28
  Speaker 11: know what? You can have your discussions. That's super. I'm
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: going to be the cheerleader because all of these things
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: are so much better or unbelievably better than the Bushes. Right.
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: Let's just say Bushes.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Then not only the Bushes. Name the Democrats. Name the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Republicans if you're saying that you still are overall satisfied
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: with what Trump has done. I would agree with that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I would definitely agree with that. I can disagree with him,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: and you and I can disagree on the war, but
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we're not on the same plane.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way, okay? Different seats, but the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: same plane.
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: And it's not even that I'm for it. It's just
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: that I'm so for Trump and his team. And guess what?
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: What's the next one going to be?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: J.D.
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: Vance, Marco Rubio? Rock on. Let's go.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: All right, Jake. Thank you. Appreciate it. Rock on. You're
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: on the air.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: Hey, Ron, I want to talk about Iran.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir. If that's okay with you.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: Well, I'll give you my opinion.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: If I was Trump, what I would do.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: But, you know, you talked about this. A lot of
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: people call in and talked about this. I might as
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: well bring it up one more time. You know, before
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: I get on Israel, before this all, go back to 79.
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: It's been, what, 47 years now since, you know, that guy,
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: what do you want to call him over there, the sheikh, whatever,
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: that took over Iran, and then they just turned that
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: country into a mess. When they took the hostages when
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: it started. You know, Reagan, you know, we've been through this.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: I heard you mention it a million times. I'm going
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: to bring it up one more time. Reagan got in there,
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: didn't do nothing.
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: Bush Sr.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: Didn't do nothing. Clinton didn't do nothing.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Bush Jr.
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: Didn't do nothing. Obama didn't do nothing. And Trump didn't
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: do nothing. And then come Biden. Now Trump's going to
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: do something about it. Now, I heard you say, you know, about... Israel,
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: that Trumpster puppet, and I get it to a certain extent,
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: but I'm going to be the scapegoat, and I'm going
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: to stick up for Israel a little bit. Now, you know,
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: I go back to October 7th, and, you know, I'm
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: not going to bang on Obama to all you Obama
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: supporters or Biden, honestly. But they did do this. They
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: sent money over to Iran, especially Obama. You know, Iran,
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: they funded Hamas. And, you know, and Hamas went in
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: there and massacred 1,000 people that day. And then they
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: took hostages. So, you know, you've got to understand Israel's
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: point of view. Now, the only thing with.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Israel is they've got to be a little.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: Bit more responsible because they do have nuclear warheads. Everybody
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: knows it. They got them. How many? We don't know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: but they do have the bomb. Now, back to Trump.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: Trump did the right thing when he did go in
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: there and bomb their nuclear site with the uranium and everything. Now,
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: if I was Trump, this is just my opinion because
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: everybody says we don't know it. Trump don't know how
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: he's going to get out of this. Nobody knows how
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: they're going to get out of this. If I was
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: in Trump's shoes, right or wrong, what I would do
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: is I'd make the deal with Iran and say, listen,
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: it's going to be like this. Open that straight up.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: You don't own it. That's international waters. Number two, we're
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: going to put at least a 25-mile radius around that
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: uranium that we bombed. And we're going to wash that
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: day in and day out. And if anybody goes into
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: that 25-mile zone, we will kill them. Plain and simple.
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: Or what Trump can say is, we're bringing our heavy
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: equipment in there in a 25-mile radius. We're going to
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: dig that uranium out, and we're going to take it.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: And that's the end of it. And just walk away
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: from it. Let them just be done with the country.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: That's the only way I can see that he can
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: get out of this. Anybody who has a better suggestion,
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: come up with it. What else are you going to do?
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: Unless you're going to send the troops, put the troops
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: on the ground, send them in there. And now you're
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: going to have a full-blown war. Now, I notice people
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: have been saying, yeah, the Iran war. Well, it's actually
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: not a war because they don't have no ships. They're
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: down at the bottom of the sea.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: They don't have no tanks.
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: They have no planes. They got nothing. They got nothing.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: And the only logic way I can come up with
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: is say, listen, we're going to pull out.
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: That's it.
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: We're going to put a radius around that uranium. at
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: least 25 miles, and don't go nowhere near it. And
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: then open it straight up and let business as usual
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: go on. Other than that, I don't know any other suggestions.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess all of that is probably easier said
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: than done. I mean, I don't know how you're going
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: to open it straight up because, see, there's many factors
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: involved in this. The first thing is a logistics factor.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Look how far away it is from the United States.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is not an easy thing to continue
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: to deal with because of where it's located, the geography
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: of things to begin with. I mean, it seems to
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: me that this is their homeland, just as Vietnam, just
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: as Afghanistan was. I mean, it's different. It's their motivation
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: is probably more intense than ours because it's their country.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: You follow me? I mean, as we've seen in the
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: past with people that said, OK, I mean, we bombed
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the hell out of them in Vietnam. How successful was it?
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, we put two troops on the ground. Well,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it wasn't very successful. We've done this how many times
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East? And it hasn't been very successful. Hell,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: we gave Afghanistan back to the people we took it
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: from in better shape with all the equipment there. They
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: were better off. So what was the point? So, I mean,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: if you– I don't– I say this again. You have
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: to understand their culture, what the majority of their people think.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: They don't think like you. They're in a different part
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: of the globe. They've got a different mentality than you,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: different lifestyle than you, different standards than you, and they
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: don't think like you.
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: Youngstown's News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN. Let me
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: go back to that guy.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Are you there?
• 35:15
  Speaker 15: Hello?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Hang on, hang on. I think it's here.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Hello?
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: Okay, Ron, I'm here.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: All right. I mean, here's the reality. I mean... As
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I say, I think he, in my opinion, made a
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: mistake getting in day one. Once again, I think Israel
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: brought him into it. I think the bunker buster either
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: was effective or it wasn't effective. And it seems to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: me it was effective. And I don't think that they
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: were that big of a threat to the United States
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: of America at all. So it's spill milk. I mean,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: he got into it. It probably is not gone how
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: he would like it to go and didn't get him
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: to cave in. And that doesn't appear that there's any
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: sign of that happening anytime soon. I don't even know
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: who you're talking with or who you're negotiating with because
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: so many people in that structure have been eliminated and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the other ones have been eliminated. So who is in
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: charge and who can make the decisions and who's running
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: a show? I would only hope that they would know that.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I want to make one more comment. Well, you're going
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: to have to hang on and I'll get to you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: after the headlines.
• 36:23
  Speaker 19: From ABC News. I'm Mike Dabosky. President Trump is pushing
• 36:28
  Speaker 19: for Bill Pulte, the incoming acting director of national intelligence,
• 36:32
  Speaker 19: to reduce the size of the nation's spy agencies. More
• 36:35
  Speaker 19: from ABC's Karen Travers at the White House.
• 36:37
  Speaker 20: He reportedly told the Wall Street Journal that Bill Pulte,
• 36:40
  Speaker 20: in this role as acting director of national intelligence, could
• 36:43
  Speaker 20: really shake things up, downsizing the ODNI.
• 36:47
  Speaker 16: He could also push forward to.
• 36:49
  Speaker 20: Release classified documents related to the 2020 election, something that,
• 36:52
  Speaker 20: of course, President Trump likes to talk about a lot
• 36:55
  Speaker 20: and has said that the idea of having an acting
• 36:58
  Speaker 20: official in this role gives.
• 37:00
  Speaker 16: You more power.
• 37:01
  Speaker 19: Today, a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. heard arguments
• 37:04
  Speaker 19: in the case of President Trump's plans to build a
• 37:06
  Speaker 19: new White House ballroom with lawyers for the president looking
• 37:09
  Speaker 19: to throw out a lower court decision which had halted construction.
• 37:13
  Speaker 21: A lawyer for the Justice Department told the appellate judges
• 37:15
  Speaker 21: it's the administration's view that courts cannot stop the ballroom's construction.
• 37:20
  Speaker 21: and that the National Trust for Historic Preservation in particular
• 37:23
  Speaker 21: doesn't have standing to sue. Obama appointed Judge Patricia Millett
• 37:26
  Speaker 21: posed this hypothetical.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Bulldoze the Statue of Liberty.
• 37:29
  Speaker 21: She asked DOJ Attorney Yakov Roth, if the president suddenly
• 37:32
  Speaker 21: decided to demolish the famous statue in New York Harbor,
• 37:35
  Speaker 21: would no one have standing to sue?
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: Nothing can be done.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's right, yes.
• 37:40
  Speaker 16: Stephen Portnoy, ABC News, Washington.
• 37:42
  Speaker 19: Job numbers for May were almost double what analysts had
• 37:45
  Speaker 19: been expecting. University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers tells
• 37:49
  Speaker 19: ABC News that lowers the chance of a recession this year.
• 37:52
  Speaker 22: We had a pretty miserable 2025, but it looks like
• 37:55
  Speaker 22: the middle or the early and middle parts of 2026.
• 37:59
  Speaker 22: really suggests the labor market's moving along. And I think
• 38:02
  Speaker 22: the thing this will really do is it's time to
• 38:04
  Speaker 22: stop talking about the word recession. Recessions don't happen when
• 38:08
  Speaker 22: the labor market's motoring along like this.
• 38:10
  Speaker 19: And it's a life sentence for Brendan Banfield, the man
• 38:13
  Speaker 19: convicted earlier this year in the murder of his wife
• 38:15
  Speaker 19: and one other person. You're listening to ABC News.
• 38:23
  Speaker 16: Radio 570 WKBN.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: It's 4 or 6 in the afternoon. News Radio 570 WKBN.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: All right. But I'm going back to just when you're
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: talking about the whole situation. Here's what my problem is
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: with it. I ask everybody this. Where do you think
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we would be economically in our country if he hadn't done.
• 38:43
  Speaker 11: Any of this?
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: We've been doing good.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, gas prices were below $ 3 a gallon. Inflation
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: was going down. By Trump doing this, and I believe
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: talked into it, I don't know why he reversed himself.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: And I just don't get it. He reversed all the
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: progress that he was making. We have inflation is back.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: High energy prices are back. There's all of this speculation
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: that oil prices could go up. NASDAQ drops 4% today.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Dow's down big time today. There's a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: lot of uncertainty as a result of all of this.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Uncertainty on will there be an actual oil shortage? And
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: there already is in parts of the world. but will
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: it be in the United States will oil prices go
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: beyond $ 120 a barrel what others what does that do
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: to inflation so by doing all of this have you
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: destroyed the you were elected for affordability you were elected
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: to fix the economy and All the Republicans were. The
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Democrats were thrown out to fix the economy because of
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the pain everyone was feeling. Well, you've destroyed all of
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: your progress, and now we're right back to the same
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: position and worse, same position and worse, when they threw
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the Democrats out. So what– and believe me, I would
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: never vote for the Democrats. I mean, to say, well,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I'm going to throw out the Republicans and vote for
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the Democrats– Well, that's foolish because they still have the
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: wacky social agenda and their economics are just god-awful. But traditionally,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know, people just seem to vote economically and
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: they say, okay, if things aren't going well, I vote
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: for the opposing party, even if the opposing party brought
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: you the inflation. And they just vote for the opposing
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: party and they'll say, well, this war and all this
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And so now you're right back to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: the lunatics being in charge of of Congress or the Senate,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: and now everything stalled for two years, and he gets
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: nothing more done. So my question is, is it worth it?
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it all worth it when you destroy,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: when you affect the American economy for the worse? I
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: just don't, in my mind, I can't say none of
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: this was worth this If you lose the midterms, if
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: you put these lunatics back, give them control of Congress
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: or the Senate, if inflation continues to go up, or
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: if oil scarcity or... And it's not just oil. It's
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: all this other stuff, too, that they're talking about. Fertilizer.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: It is just an absolute mess. It is a mess.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: And he is to blame for that. He can't blame
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: anyone else. It was his decision. And I don't think
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: they have a way out.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: Let me give you my view, how I feel about this.
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: I'm going to say it's worth it right now, and
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: I'm going to explain to you why. All the bombs
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: that we have, Russia, China, Pakistan, Great Britain, North Korea,
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: supposedly now Israel, you can go on and on. We're
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: in a bubble right now. We're in a nucleus with
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: all these superpowers right now. Now, just hear me out
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: real quick, and I'll get off the phone. We're all
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: in this circle. We all have these bombs. What's the
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: purpose of these bombs? The purpose is to make sure
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: we never have another World War II. We don't want
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: another real war. So these bombs neutralizes everything. I hate
• 42:31
  Speaker 8: the bombs.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: I wish they'd get rid of them.
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: But we have them to keep everything at— we try to
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: keep everything at peace. Now, you've got this country outside
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: the nucleus of the circle. It's Iran. They've been saying
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: that to America for over 47 years now.
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: Okay?
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: They want the bomb. Let's say they get the bomb.
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: They're the type of people, if you've ever seen a movie,
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: Some of All Affairs, it makes a perfect example. The
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: guy is a Nazi. They want the nuclear bomb. Blame Russia.
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: The bomb in the United States is a great movie. Iran,
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: they hate Christians. They hate, they want their religion. What
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: makes you think they wouldn't nuke another country?
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Forget Israel.
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: So then we can nuke, and then everybody starts nuking everybody.
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: Iran cannot have the bomb. And you're right, the economy
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: is crap right now. But there's a reason for everything,
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: and this man is trying to stop this evil country
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: from from getting the bomb where nobody even attempted to
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: try to stop him from getting the bomb nobody no
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: president united states russia china nobody dead and i'm not
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: saying that just suffered us out. There's a reason for everything,
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: and I agree with you. The economy is horrible right now.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Then you're going to have to ask yourself, ultimately, is
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: it worth it? Was Iran a threat to the United States?
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it was a nuclear threat. And I
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: think Iran knows that... that if they would attempt anything
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: like that, they would be wiped out in the blink
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: of an eye when it comes to the United States. Now,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: hang on a second. I mean, I'm not in a
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: rush with you here. I said on previous programs, I
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: think it was John Kennedy, might have been Robert Kennedy,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: that said for you to understand what's going on, you
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: have to understand your enemy. In other words, you have to,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: you can't look at it from here, but you have
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: to understand your enemy to understand the whole situation. So
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: their argument's going to be, well, wait a minute. First
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: of all, we're our own country. I'm going to give
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you their argument. We're our own country. We're 93 million people.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: You're not going to tell us what to do. We're
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: not a state of the United States. We're concerned because
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Israel has a nuclear weapon. So we want to have
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: one as a deterrent, too. And I'm trying to give
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: you the Kennedy philosophy, if you will. So they're saying
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: we want to have one as a deterrent to prevent
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Israel from nuking us. Now, the conversation that you hear
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: about nuking these days is about concern of Israel nuking
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Iran or some people thinking the United States should nuke Iran.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't necessarily agree with any of this stuff.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the bunker buster was effective. I
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't the least bit concerned about them with a nuclear
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: weapon in the United States. At all, I wasn't concerned
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: about it. I think a lot of this was brought
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: on by Israel. And I just think the entire situation
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: is getting worse. You have countries now that want American
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: bases out of there. So this coalition in the Middle
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: East and in many of these places are saying, take
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: your stuff and get out.
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: You know what?
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: Then the United States should pull out then.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right. Exactly right. But, okay, so with all
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: of this being said, and now you go back home.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I do believe in America first. And I think it's
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: an easy thing to say, oh, it's all worth it.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Is it worth it to say all the progress that
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: was made has been erased on affordability? You can really
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: lose the midterms as a result of this. Many things
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: can happen between then and now. You can potentially lose
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the midterms. And now you're not going to get a
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: damn thing done for two years because you're not in
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: charge of anything. So all the stuff that you did
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: will be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: I understand what you're saying.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, so is your life going to be better?
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: Well, if Israel had a going opportunity, if they wanted
• 46:56
  Speaker 8: a new guy ran, they could have did October 7th.
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: Because they weren't bothering nobody, and they got invaded.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Now, I've also heard that this debate take place, and
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I listened to it. I don't know
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: what the reality is. There are those people who argue,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: did they let this happen because the most secure border
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: in the world is Israel with the most secure surveillance
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: there ever is? How did something like this happen? I mean,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: this is what critics are saying.
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: I don't hear the critics say they're wrong.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: This is what folks are saying. You've got to analyze
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: everything to say, listen, is the United States citizen better
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: off today as a result of this? And the answer
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: to me is no.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: I say yes.
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: Because there's no way they'd get the bomb. And we're
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: in bad shape financially. I get it. I'm going to
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: go 50-50 on you. I agree with you. The economy sucks.
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: But we're better off now than we were before he
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: bombed that bunker. So I agree with you 50% and 50% wrong.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: I don't.
• 48:19
  Speaker 14: I'm sorry.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: That's all right. That's America. You're allowed to disagree.
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: You know, I agree with you a lot. But in
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: this situation, I mean..
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I just don't think we've ever been very successful. I
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: can't think of how we've been very successful with an
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: air campaign on defeating an enemy.
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: Let me ask you a question. I'll get off the
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: phone because I've been on too long. I'm going to
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: be science fiction. Let's say North Korea came into California
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: and slaughtered 1,000 people. What do you think we're going
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: to do?
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Well, of course, the United States would react to that
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: because it's.
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: An attack on your homeland.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Right. But look what Hamas did to Israel. Okay, but
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: that's between Israel and Hamas, okay? That's not between the
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: United States. They didn't attack the United States. How do
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I put it? Was Vietnam successful for us?
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: The politicians got in the middle of that.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care. The politicians are still in the middle
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: of it now.
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: Many Americans lost their lives over that because of politics.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: What about Afghanistan?
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Afghanistan.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: What about any of these regime changes that Victoria Nuland
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: did in the Middle East? They've been disasters.
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: Afghanistan could have been done differently, and I agree with
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: you on that. But Joe Biden got out of there
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: the wrong way.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: I agree. But remember, Trump wanted out of there, too.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: But he would have done it differently, I'm convinced. But
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: they were going to leave. So everybody was going to
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: leave there. So what was the point?
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: It's a sad situation right now. Right.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: All right. All right.
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: So take care.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a fair debate to have. I mean,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just wasn't up at night sweating Iran
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and nuclear weapons. It seemed to me the bunker buster
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: was pretty effective when they did it, and they said
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: it was pretty effective. So what are you worried about?
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was... Basically, you know, mission accomplished. But,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, things are strange these days. I mean, it's
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: just strange. As I say, I voted for Trump. You
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: always got to say it because you got the mega cult.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know any president I agree with 100% of
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: the time on everything. But it doesn't mean he isn't
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: doing a good job. He's a much better choice than
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: any of the Democrats. And I can't vote for any
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: of the Democrats. But unfortunately, I think some of the
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: fallout from this means that if the Democrats vote for
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: the Democrats and the independents vote for the Democrats or
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: people say, I can't take this, the financial burden that's
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: happening to me, and they vote for change, as people
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: traditionally do. Remember, Carville said it's economy stupid, and it is.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: It's what brought Trump and the Republicans to power. So
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the same thing can happen in the next election. Don't
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: think you're immune from that same basic philosophy when people say,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: are you better off today than you were a few
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: years ago? And they're going to say no. How many
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: variables are there? I mean, who knows what could happen
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: a week from now, a month from now. I mean,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: I would like to see this thing come to a conclusion.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: But if it continues to drag on, I do think
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: that there will be serious oil issues and serious inflation
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: issues as this drags on. So, we shall see.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: You know, we..
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: It's all very, very odd, the whole thing. You're on
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 52:31
  Speaker 23: Gerb, how are you?
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I'm well, sir. Thank you.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 52:35
  Speaker 23: I'm glad to hear that. I really am.
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: And the more I.
• 52:38
  Speaker 23: Listen to you, you know what?
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: I hear.
• 52:43
  Speaker 23: Things that I agree with. I never thought I'd say that.
• 52:47
  Speaker 23: But I do. The fellow that you were talking to
• 52:52
  Speaker 23: just now is one of many... Armchair generals and admirals
• 52:59
  Speaker 23: that are out there know what I mean by that.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Just as I am, right.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Everybody has an opinion.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Right, but we've got to speculate and hope the people
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: that are making the decisions know more than we do.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: I agree with that comment you made.
• 53:13
  Speaker 23: Now, you made a comment about air care. You didn't
• 53:18
  Speaker 23: elaborate enough on it. But you have to read your,
• 53:22
  Speaker 23: and evidently you have read something on it or you
• 53:25
  Speaker 23: wouldn't say it. Air campaigns throughout history have been failures.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: They're not successful, yes.
• 53:35
  Speaker 23: They have been absolute failures. Read more on air campaigns
• 53:43
  Speaker 23: and tell your listeners to read an air. You're absolutely
• 53:48
  Speaker 23: right when you made that comment.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't win.
• 53:54
  Speaker 23: When they said that this... Buster, Bunker, whatever it was,
• 53:59
  Speaker 23: they said, who are they? You know, who are they?
• 54:03
  Speaker 23: They're telling you what you want to hear. That's all
• 54:06
  Speaker 23: they're telling you.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm... Stand by. Just stand by. Let me do
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: my break. Well, I did tell you the Trump administration
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: said it was successful. That's where it was.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: Boom.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: It went right down the hole and blew up. Mission accomplished.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: And I think it probably was successful. So why are
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: we doing what we're doing now? I heard.
• 54:24
  Speaker 16: This is A570 WKBN.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: So let me just ask you, what do you think
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: of the situation in Iran and getting involved in this war?
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: And why do you think it happened?
• 54:35
  Speaker 23: Number one. You have an administration that is very inept
• 54:41
  Speaker 23: in this type of negotiation. It should have never happened
• 54:45
  Speaker 23: in the first place. There were negotiations. There were rules,
• 54:51
  Speaker 23: laws that were in place. We had scientists. We had
• 54:55
  Speaker 23: people over there in authority who were looking at their
• 54:59
  Speaker 23: nuclear program to make sure that it was already in place.
• 55:07
  Speaker 23: The Strait of Hormuz was open. Gasoline was under $ 2. 50
• 55:14
  Speaker 23: a gallon. Everything was in place. It should have never
• 55:22
  Speaker 23: happened in the first place. That is what my thoughts
• 55:27
  Speaker 23: are on this. Because everything was in place to keep
• 55:31
  Speaker 23: them in check. But Mr. Trump decided... that Obama and
• 55:38
  Speaker 23: what he was doing, he was going to just erase it.
• 55:44
  Speaker 23: We're going to do what I'm going to do. Guess what?
• 55:48
  Speaker 23: He is in a situation he can't get out of.
• 55:52
  Speaker 23: And you know what? It's going to hurt you. Like
• 55:55
  Speaker 23: he said, you're looking at gasoline. There was a guy
• 55:59
  Speaker 23: on here, I forget what program, but he was very
• 56:02
  Speaker 23: intelligent talking about You'll probably see gasoline go from $ 4. 25
• 56:09
  Speaker 23: not to $ 4. 50 or $ 4.
• 56:11
  Speaker 8: 75.
• 56:12
  Speaker 23: It'll go to $ 5. 50, and it'll go to $ 6.
• 56:14
  Speaker 24: 50.
• 56:14
  Speaker 23: And you're looking at $ 7, $ 8 gasoline by the end
• 56:21
  Speaker 23: of summer. Now, this was all unnecessary. I don't know
• 56:27
  Speaker 23: how else to put it to you people out there.
• 56:31
  Speaker 23: You have to pay attention. You have just... You have
• 56:35
  Speaker 23: just eliminated 50-plus years of negotiations that the United States
• 56:43
  Speaker 23: has done. It has been Democrats. It has been Republicans.
• 56:49
  Speaker 23: It was under control as much as you, your listening audience,
• 56:55
  Speaker 23: most of them Republicans, fail to realize.
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: They have to.
• 57:02
  Speaker 23: They have to read more. They have to get involved more.
• 57:05
  Speaker 23: They have to pay attention more. Not just to be
• 57:08
  Speaker 23: blinded by one person who says, I'm going to do this,
• 57:15
  Speaker 23: and look, you know as well as I do that
• 57:18
  Speaker 23: what he did was totally asinine wrong. And I'm going
• 57:26
  Speaker 23: to mention a couple of things here to you about
• 57:31
  Speaker 23: And I'm not telling you this to try and impress
• 57:34
  Speaker 23: you or your listeners.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 57:38
  Speaker 23: Did anybody ever read D-Day? Did anybody ever read Their
• 57:43
  Speaker 23: Election of Duty by H.R. McMaster? How about Legacy of Ashes?
• 57:49
  Speaker 23: The History of the CIA?
• 57:51
  Speaker 9: Brute.
• 57:52
  Speaker 23: Do you know who Brute was in the Second World War?
• 57:56
  Speaker 23: Most people don't. Tim O'Brien. The Things They Carried. Presidents
• 58:01
  Speaker 23: of war. Vietnam by Max Hastings. I can go on
• 58:08
  Speaker 23: and on and on. But people have to pay more attention.
• 58:15
  Speaker 23: They have to read more. They have to get themselves involved.
• 58:19
  Speaker 23: Not to be bamboozled by an administration that is so
• 58:25
  Speaker 23: involved at what they're doing to this country. that they
• 58:32
  Speaker 23: fall to their knees and say, I love you, sir.
• 58:36
  Speaker 23: You know who said that recently? That guy that he
• 58:40
  Speaker 23: just wants to put in as Attorney General, who will
• 58:43
  Speaker 23: do anything for Trump, break any law. It's just insanity
• 58:49
  Speaker 23: to me what's going on in this country. People have
• 58:53
  Speaker 23: to pay attention to what is really going on. Okay,
• 58:58
  Speaker 23: I'm done.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: There you go. And it's the perfect timing because I
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: got the headlines. You have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy yourself,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: you hear? I'll be right back. Stay tuned.
• 59:07
  Speaker 10: News radio 570 wkbn now ron verb on news radio
• 59:15
  Speaker 10: 570 wkbn.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Back to it news radio 570 wkbn and ron verb
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: and you're on the air welcome hey.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: Ron yes sir i had a question for you have
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: you ever worked on like projects.
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: Projects?
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: That have a defined set of things that have to happen,
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: and they have a budget and a schedule.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Do you have resources? Yeah, I think I have.
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, so then maybe you've done something called risk analysis.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Life itself I've done a risk analysis on. Don't you
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: do that when you decide to get married? You do
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: a risk analysis? Oh, my, yes. I knew it. I
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: knew you did.
• 59:56
  Speaker 11: Yes, you do.
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: And in fact, marriage is a risk analysis every day.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: But in any case, so in any case, so risk
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: analysis is a way of identifying risks and trying to
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: mitigate them, okay, and trying to take the emotion out
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: of it, okay? And so the way that you do
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: that is that you identify the risk. You sit down
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: and you, you know, with the people that are doing
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: the project and so forth, and you're saying, what are
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: all the things that could go wrong that may cost
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: us schedule, that may cost us budget, that may completely
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: ruin the project. Okay? And you identify those, and for
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: each one of those, you're going to find out, you're
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: going to try and understand and estimate the chance that
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: it'll happen, the impact that if it does happen, and
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: then what can you do about it? What's the mitigation
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: that you can do?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: So..
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: I think that in the Israel, Iran, United States, and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: all of Middle East, I see four or five risks.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: The first one is that Iran has ICBMs. We knew
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: they had ICBMs, but we thought their range was too...
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: 2,000 kilometers. Turns out that their range was 4,000 kilometers,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: which means that they can go to Europe, okay? And
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: that's a 100% chance because we know now that they've
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: demonstrated them. And what's the impact of that? Well, you know,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: you can make that impact something, you know, a number.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: You try and quantify these things, a number from, say,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: one to whatever, infinity. Okay, so let's say that that's
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: a number of 100 because they would be able to
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: drop an ICBM into a city in Europe. Okay? And
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: let's say they have 100 ICBMs. They can drop that
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: 100 ICBMs in Europe. What do you think is going
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: to happen to that European city if they drop 100
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: ICBMs into that city?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. I'm listening.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: So it'll probably decimate that city, especially if they don't
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: even have high explosives on there. They just have maybe
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: iron beams on. If you want to understand this, look
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: up a thing called Rods from God, which was a
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: thing that they were worried the Soviets would do from space. Anyhow,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: let's take the next risk that we would identify, which
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: is the terror network from the Iranians.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 16: Well, we know that's 100%.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: They've been listed as the number one terror sponsor by
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: the State Department for decades, right? I mean, we know
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: that they caused things in our hemisphere. In South America,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: they killed hundreds of people in Argentina. At the Jewish Center,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: they caused many, many things throughout Europe and definitely things
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: in the United States. Throughout Asia as well. And, of course,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: the Middle East. So what do you think that number
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: is with the terror, the impact of terror? If you
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: have things like, let's say, you know, it wasn't the
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: Iranians necessarily. It was some parts of the Saudi populace
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: that did 9-11. But what do you think that impact
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: would be?
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: It would be devastating. I mean, there's an awful lot
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: of speculation going on here. I mean, this is..
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 11: Speculation?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Wait a second. We know that they are the number
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: one sponsor of terror. from the State Department for decades.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: You can go onto the FDD site and see the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: 47 things that they've tied, the FDD being the Foundation
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: for the Defense of Democracy, and see the 47 definite
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: things that they've hit the United States with.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: So the next thing is, let's talk about the problems
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: in the region. So I've heard G2 talk about, you know,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: they're going to take the desalinization plants from the Saudis. Well,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: not too many years ago, they hit the Saudi oil fields, right?
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: And we've seen them hit Qatar and other neighbors and
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: Israel itself. So we know that that's 100% as well.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: But that's not, I wouldn't call that like a really,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: really high number, right? But let's go to the big one,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: which is.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: The nuclear, right?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: Now, do they have nuclear weapons? Probably not. There are
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: some people that say that they got some nukes through
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: one of the stands, Kazakhstan, or so when the Soviet
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: Union broke up, but that's never been really fundamentally.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 25: Verified, okay?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: But let's say that, you know, the chance of them
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: having a nuclear weapon is pretty low. Let's say it's 1%.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: But I think that the impact of that is probably
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: 5 million.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: Because they get into a nuclear exchange with Israel or
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: anyone else. You think they've got problems with the economy now? Everything's,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: all bets are off. The last one is, let's say
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: they learn how to miniaturize that nuclear weapon, which means
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: they can put it on an ICBM and hit all
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: parts of Europe, all parts of the Middle East. I'd
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: say that impact is probably a tenth or a hundredth
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: of a percent, but the impact of that is 50 million,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: at least. So the risk analysis says we had to
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: do something. Whether we're doing the correct thing or not,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: it's not an issue. I can't see how you can
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: say that any of the impacts of the United States...
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: economy have anything close to those impacts?
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think that's totally... First of all, you make
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: it sound as though... So let me ask you this.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Why would General McGregor completely disagree with everything you said?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, you come on here, you're so certain of
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: all of this. Yet he completely disagrees. I'm asking you
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: a question. I mean, you lay all of this out,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: yet here's General McGregor who completely disagrees with this entire
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: mission and the nonsense that's going on. So, I mean,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: so let's not act as though this is for certain
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: and this would happen and this is carved in stone.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Because you have people in positions of know-how, well beyond
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: certainly my expertise, I would assume yours, who totally disagree.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Hang on, Ron. I can't even finish my statement with you.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: I said those were my estimates.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 11: What are your estimates?
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: What are your estimates on the chance of having any impact?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: My thoughts are most of what you said, in my opinion,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: is speculation. I don't believe a lot of what you said.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: It's all speculation, Ron. Then don't ask me. If you
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: won't let me respond, then go ahead and finish your
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: thought and I'll move on. Because as soon as I
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: start to speak, you don't want to hear it. Okay, continue, please.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: I totally disagree with your scenario. I totally and completely
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: disagree with your scenario and what the effects will be.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: And the effects will be significant on this country right
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: now as this goes on. I don't believe your scenario
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: at all. I believe the bunker buster was effective. I
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't up at night worried about Iran and a nuclear threat.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: The majority of people in this country were not. They
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: have been kind of sold on this from the neocons
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: that sell you on a lot of this stuff in
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: the Middle East. And Trump got involved in this, and
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: it's disturbing to me that he did. And I think
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: he's looking for a way out of it right now.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the way out of it is
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: right now. What I do know is that bombing from
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: the air doesn't win. And I do know that I
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: thought that things are, you know, let's be realistic. They
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: didn't have much of a Navy or an Air Force
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: to begin with. So the fact that they don't have
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: one is pretty much irrelevant. So if they're decimated and
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: their structure is taken out, what more do you want?
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: If all our leaders are gone and if the new
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: regime is gone, I don't even know who you're negotiating
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: with or who you call or how you get in
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: contact with them to try to even reach an agreement. Apparently,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: they must know who they're dealing with to reach an agreement, right?
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: They say, I've heard every week now for, what, a
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: month and a half, two months, an agreement is near,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: an agreement is near. But it never happens.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it absolutely never happens. Who are they negotiating with?
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Who's making the decisions? Who's there to say, I'm in
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: charge and I'm making the decisions? Do we know? Do
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: they know? How do we communicate with them? They certainly
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: would be nervous to do any type of communication because
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: we'd drop another bomb on them. So there's many questions
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: I have about it all. Do you think if we
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: redo the bombing campaign that we've done it before, will
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: it now be more successful than it was last time?
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Will it change anything? What's insanity? Doing the same thing again,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: expecting different results? So where do you go if it
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't work and you do it next time? So you
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: tell me, based on your scenario, here we do. We
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: go right back to it. We do that bombing campaign again,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: which is a real possibility, and nothing changes. And I'm
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: not saying, don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying Iran's in
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: a good place. Iran's in a horrible place financially, economically,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: and in many, many ways. Their back is up against
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: the wall. But I don't understand their culture. I don't
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: think they think like I do. I don't think they
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: have the priorities I do. I can only tell you
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: from what I learned from my son spending many tours
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East who says, you don't understand them
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: unless you're there and you see it firsthand. They don't
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: think like you. They don't think like you. They don't
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: have the same belief system as you. It's totally different.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how many people in Iran want
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: regime change within Iran. Do we know that number?
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think many of the people that are on
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: your show know that, and I'm.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: One of them. I don't know if the United States
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: government knows that.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: I think somebody like Professor Brenda Schaefer may know that.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know that anyone— She's written several books on Iran.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: I doubt if anybody polled the majority of the 93
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: million people in Iran if they're looking for regime change.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't understand their culture, their religion,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: their philosophy. It is foreign to me. But in many ways,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: I know they don't think like I do. And so
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Can you get, if you bomb them
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: again and that doesn't work now, what do you do?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: Maybe bomb them again.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 25: But my question was not, or my.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: Comment is not, what are we doing now? My comment is,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: why did we do this at all?
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I would argue that probably doing it, I think
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: the bunker buster was effective. Why did we do it
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: at all? Well, I can only speculate on that. I
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: can only speculate.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think the bunker buster did anything about the ICBMs.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: I think that the bunker buster took care of a
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: lot of issues. And when you say, why did we
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: do it? I think we were influenced by Netanyahu. That's
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: what I think to get involved in this.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: That may be the case. That's not in the risk analysis.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: But what's your risk analysis in the United States of America?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Let's do some risk analysis on the people. This isn't
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: a risk analysis. No, no, I want to do a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: different risk analysis. I want to do a risk analysis
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: of $ 160 a barrel oil or $ 180 a barrel oil.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: I think the impact of $ 180 a barrel oil is nothing.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: As Art Berman has said, what do you think the
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: impact of that is on the U.S. economy? What do
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: you think the impact of that is on inflation? What
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: do you think the impact of that is on the
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: midterm elections? What do you think the impact of that
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: is on the average citizen in this country, economically speaking,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: and business in this country? What do you think the
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: impact is on all of that? Let's do a risk
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: analysis on that. Wait a second. Because, you know, there's
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: more than one side to an equation. You and your
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: risk analysis want to look at one part of the equation.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: I want to look at the part in the United
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: States of America and what we do to our own
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: citizens in our own country, in our own economics, and
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: the next two years of decimating the Trump presidency by
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: putting the Democrats in charge. Now what do you want
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: to do? What's your risk analysis of that? So I
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: ask you once again. What is it? I'm asking you
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: a question.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: Wait a second.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: You don't want to answer.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 16: Do you want to answer or not?
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's anywhere near what a nuclear.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Exchange would be. I'm not remotely concerned about their nuclear situation.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it to be the threat it is
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: being described as, in my opinion.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: So you're saying that..
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you... I'm saying specifically to you, so
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: you understand. I believe the surveillance is there on a
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: daily basis. I believe from the satellite surveillance and surveillance
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: on the ground as to what is going on down there.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: And I don't believe that they are a nuclear threat
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: to the United States of America, period.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 11: The IAEA..
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: All of their stuff. All of their stuff.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: Well, you and I are going to go around in
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: circles when we destroy the American economy. And make no mistake,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: I hope he's successful and I hope it ends quickly.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: But I don't see it happening to you. Well, how
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: long you want to go with this? How long you
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: want to go? At what point? You're not looking at
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: the effect it can have on your citizens in your
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: own damn country immediately. Do you give a damn about that?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Where is your risk analysis on that? I'm asking you.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: You don't want to address it, do you? So what
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: do you say to a guy like Art Berman who says,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: we got a big problem. We got starvation in the world.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: We got fertilizer that's going to affect the food supply.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: We could see $ 160 to $ 180 a barrel oil. We
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: could see gas prices skyrocket. And we could see oil shortages.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: How do you assess that in the world? What do
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: you think that does to the world?
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: I think that's nothing compared to.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: A nuclear exchange.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 10: Between Israel and Iran.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been through all this speculation nonsense like
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: the last caller did with his risk analysis since Vietnam.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: And selling the American on Vietnam and how important it was.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: And ultimately, we lost a lot of life, American life
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: and injury for Vietnam. And for what? For what? We
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: did a massive bombing campaign there, too. And we had
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: boots on the ground. But we didn't win. And we left.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: So when you take a look at all of these...
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: military operations since then what was the lesson of vietnam
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: basically uh was is that is that how we want
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: to operate and weren't we supposed to learn a lesson
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: from vietnam then we go get involved in all of
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: these conflicts in the middle east with victoria newland and
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: so they're just disasters the regime change the cia meddling
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: the disasters that you see in the loss of life
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: that we had in the middle east So can you
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: say Afghanistan was worth any of your sons or daughters
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: dying for, losing an arm or a leg or being
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: severely disfigured? When it was said and done and we
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: left and we gave it right back to the people,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: the terrorists, and they got it back with more equipment,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: better than when it was taken originally? Can you look
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: and say, well, anything, when you look at it, was
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: it worth it? Well, I thought that's what Trump ran on.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: He doesn't believe in regime change and forever wars. But
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: now we're right back in this particular situation. I thought
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: the bunker buster took care of the nuclear threat. But
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: now we're right back in one where they're sitting there
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: scratching their head and saying, well, we don't understand why
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: they're not surrendering. We don't understand why this isn't over. And,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: you know, here goes ceasefire. Now let's do a ceasefire
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: for 30 days and 60 days. And an agreement is
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: near and it doesn't come. And another agreement is near
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't come. And you sit back and you say, well,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: what is going on here? And can you say that
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: it's going well? Well, you be the judge of it.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that it's not going well over there, but
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: it can get worse here as well.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 16: From ABC News. I'm Mike Dabusky.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 19: Bill Pulte, the incoming acting director of national intelligence, is
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 19: facing new pressure to downsize the department he's set to run.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 19: President Trump telling reporters today that the number of employees
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 19: at DNI has been way too high for way too long.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 19: ABC's Karen Travers is at the White House.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 20: It says a lot about how President Trump views acting officials.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: When you put.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 20: Somebody in this role but don't intend to keep them there,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 20: the president then believes that they can do a lot
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 20: of significant work in that short period of time.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 19: Stocks slumped today to end the week. It comes as
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 19: some financial leaders, including the head of the Dallas Fed,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 19: indicated that interest rates may go up this year. Meanwhile,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 19: a jobs report out this morning found that the economy
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 19: added more than 170,000 jobs last month, nearly double expectations.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 26: The narrative for the past year or so has been
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 26: a cooling labor market, but the past three months could
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 26: make a case that that cooling has stopped. But while
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 26: jobs are being added, we are still in a low hire,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 26: low fire environment. This is good news for workers with jobs,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 26: but reflects a tougher situation for job seekers. We are
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 26: seeing job seekers struggling in long-term unemployment numbers. Those who
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 26: have been out of work for 27 weeks or more
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 26: rose to 27.5% in May, well above pre-pandemic norms. Taylor Dunn,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 26: ABC News, New York.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 19: An appeals court hearing arguments today as the president's lawyers
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 19: look to move ahead with the White House ballroom project.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 19: A lawsuit from historical preservationists had halted the project.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 21: The government argues that the ballroom is necessary for national security,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 21: pointing to the drone port that the president says will
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 21: be on the roof of the new ballroom, the bulletproof glass,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 21: and the blastproof columns. The appeals court panel that heard
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 21: this today is comprised of appointees of Presidents Obama, Biden,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 21: and Trump. And it was really difficult to get a sense,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 21: just listening to the questions for two hours over where
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 21: this is going to land. But you can imagine that
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 21: the losing side is probably going to take it to
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 21: the Supreme Court.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 19: ABC's Stephen Portnoy, you're listening to ABC News.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: All right, 507 News Radio, 570. With you until 7 tonight.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Guardians play a little bit after 8 o'clock tonight. 85 degrees,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: beautiful-looking Friday afternoon. NewsRadio 570 at ODQN, you're on the air. Hello?
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 16: Hello, is it me on the air?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: I think it is.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay, that's good.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, sir.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 25: I'm going to pull over here.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 9: Well, you know what?
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 25: I had a question to ask you. I thought, what
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 25: are my odds? I'm retired, and... I'm going to go
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 25: on a... I always wanted to go... I drove trucks
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 25: for a few stints, then I became a mechanic. I
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 25: always wanted to see Yellowstone. And I bought a 99
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 25: GMC van out of Florida. And it's in extremely good shape.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 25: It's got the original brake lines.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Anyway..
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 25: The odds of me making it out there at a
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 25: reasonable price on gas, you know?
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: I'm curious.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 25: Would you do it still?
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: How old are you? I'm 73. I think if you
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: want to see Yellowstone, you should go do it because
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: you're 73 years old.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: So if that's what you want to do, that's what
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: you should do. Listen, I don't know. how your retirement looks,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: what you have financially, or what you get through Social Security,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: or any of that. I'm not wealthy.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 25: I get a couple, like $ 2, 300 a month. I work
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 25: my whole life. I have a 401, but it's not
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 25: a lot of money. I have a service dog. Yeah,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 25: I'm lucky to still be up and in good shape
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 25: because I'm TD1. And I've had a doctor tell me,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 25: you know, she said, You know, your health. I mean,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 25: you still got your kidneys. You have a service dog
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 25: that keeps you out of trouble.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: What year van did you buy?
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 9: A 99 GMC.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 25: All right.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: But I want you to think about this, though. The
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: van that you bought is 26, 7 years old, right?
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, just here's what I would say to you.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: By yourself, go look at a newer vehicle or a
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: newer van. You're 73 or 74 years old. I don't
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: know how much life you have left, okay? I mean,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: death is inevitable, and who knows what tomorrow will bring.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: They say God laughs at people who make plans. I
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: would like to see you go buy a much newer
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: van than a 26- or 70-year-old van that you want
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: to drive from here out to See Yellowstone Park. I
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: would like to see you buy a better van with
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: lower miles that's more dependable, if not a new one.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: If not a new one. And then I would say,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: I don't care what gas costs, but put it in
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: a tank, go drive out and see it before you die.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: All right? If that's what you want to do and
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: take your dog with you. And I don't know if
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: you're going to sleep in that van or how you're
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: going to do that, but that would be my... Yeah, I've.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 25: Got a 2020 Lexus, but it really cramps me, you know,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 25: a 2020 Lexus.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: Well, if you've got a Lexus, it's a hell of
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: a car. I think I would drive the Lexus out
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: to Yellowstone before I would ever drive the van, just
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: for dependability reasons. There's nothing worse than breaking down.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 25: Yeah, that is one of my fears. But I'm an ex-mechanic,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 25: and it's the 570.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Right back.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: 140,000.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 25: I just went through. My buddy just went through the transformation.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 14: Well.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: You know, if you feel comfortable with it and you're
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: a mechanic, the problem is when you break down, you
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: don't have parts sitting there on the side of the
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: road and you don't have a lift either. And, I mean,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: if you're comfortable with the fuel pump and you're comfortable
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: with all the mechanicals of the vehicle, you know, it's
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: a 26, 27-year-old vehicle.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 25: You know, it's still got the original brake lines on it.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 25: How many of them?
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: Right. Listen, what do you say your Lexus is? What year.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: 2020.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's six years old. How many miles are
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: on that?
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 25: There's 80,000 on it.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, drive the Lexus. I mean, are you married?
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: No, no. All right.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: So you want to go..
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: I have somebody that's... All right. Well, or..
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I have somebody that goes with me.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Here's another... Well, you know, I spent... Here's another idea.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: Get on an airplane and fly out there. Rent a
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: hotel and rent a car when you get there. Put
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: your dog in a kennel until you get back. And let's...
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: Put a kennel in your dog. There's plenty of nice
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: places where you can put your dog, and you can
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: go out, and you can get there pretty quick, and
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: you can enjoy yourself without having to worry about driving
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: all that way, falling asleep at the wheel, or breaking down,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: and just go see it. I mean, see it.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 25: The thing is to travel out there, the scenery, going
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 25: out there, and I was going to come back. I
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 25: was going to come back through Canada. And now I'm
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 25: in good shape. I just put a transmission in this van.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: I know, but I mean, listen.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not an old man.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Right, you can do what you want to do, but
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: you're 74 years old. I don't know if you've got
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: another 10 years to live or 10 days, and you
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: don't know either. I tell you again, God laughs at
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: people that make plans because you never know when your
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: number's up. So all I'm saying to you is I
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: want you to see. You want to go to Yellowstone
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: and see the park and all that kind of stuff? Well,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes getting on a plane and flying there is just
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: a lot more convenient, and you get there quicker. Rent
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: a car. You can stay there longer and take it
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: all in and then fly back home and reconnect with
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: your dog. That's what I would do if I was you.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't hesitate.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 25: Well, that's your honest opinion. I'm not going to leave my–
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 25: she's a service animal, so I'm not going to leave her.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, when you're out there, she'll be fine.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: She'll have dog company. I mean, you'll be fine with
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: kenneling her. Enjoy your life. Don't say, oh, I can't
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: go because of my dog. No, I could take her.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 25: If I take the van, I could take her.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: Right, but I mean, now..
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 25: Actually, I'm certified by my doctor to take her. She
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 25: has all her medical shots. She has all of them.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but a lot of hotels don't want cats or
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: dogs in them for places to stay.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 25: Yeah, she's... He's a certified service animal.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: I understand.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 25: And I'm medically.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Well, you do what you want to do. Any way
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: you do it, better get moving and start doing it.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: Stop thinking about it and start doing it. Don't worry
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: about the gas prices at your age. Worry about the
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: time you have left.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 25: Well, that's good advice. I got some good advice. That's good.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 25: I'm probably going to do it.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't be a probably. Let me put it this way.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: You can save the money and not do it, and
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: then when you're sitting in a nursing home, it's whatever,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: $ 10, 000 a month, you're going to wish you would have
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: spent the money and done it.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 25: That's what I'm thinking.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: Too, you know? Yes.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: And who knows?
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 25: My buddy, he's retired, too. He had Ernie's transmission. And
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 25: he told me, you know, he said, he don't see
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 25: anything with the problem of 4,000 miles.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: Then if you want to do it, do it. I mean,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: you know, if you break down, you got a cell phone,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: call a tow truck and figure out what you're going
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: to do then when you're broke down on a freeway
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: at 3 in the morning. I'm just teasing in a
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: bad neighborhood.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is, don't overthink it, all right? If you
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: want to do it, do it.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 25: I think I have overthought.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: It, you know?
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: I think you probably have, too. I would feel more
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: comfortable if you would just... Make it a quick, you
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: could go out and take it, see it and fly
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: out and come back and you'd be gone a week
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: or two. However long you want to go. You don't
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: have a time clock to punch anymore. So you can
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: go out there for what? A week and then come
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: back and see your dog. Maybe your dog have a
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: better time in the kennel and being around other dogs.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: You never know. You're a little jealous.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 25: Yeah, that's true, but she's had a rough life, and
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 25: I got her off of a trainer.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Right. Well, I'm good for you. You've got to love
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: somebody that takes good care of animals and loves their animals.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 25: She's fantastic as far as being.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: A service animal. Maybe when you're out there, you'll meet
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: a young woman. Did you ever get married?
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 25: Yeah, I've been married, yeah.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: How many times?
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: One time. One time?
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 25: Just once. Once was enough.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: How long did that one last?
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: About 20 years.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: Really? Now, how did it fall apart after 20 years?
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: They died.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry. She passed away.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 27: Yeah, she passed away.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: Did you ever think about remarrying after she passed away,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: or was that the love of your life?
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 25: No, I thought about it, but at my age, I don't,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 25: you know, I don't want to redo it again.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: Well, you can, right. So that's a fair decision. I mean,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: you know, there's some people that decide to remarry and
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: have companionship, and other people decide that one was enough, and...
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: And maybe you found the love of your life, so
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: that's a good thing. And I think she would probably
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: want you to enjoy the rest of your life until
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: you meet your maker. All right?
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 25: Well, I was just wondering.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 25: If the gas went to $ 7 an hour, I'd have
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 25: a Gobi fund to get back.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: Don't you worry. I have the money. You've got the money.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 25: It hits me off.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: You've got the money.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 25: I have the money to buy the gas.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: Go do it. All right?
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 12: You mentioned Vietnam. I can't believe it. I'm not an
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 12: armchair general, but I was a corporal in the United
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 12: States Marine Corps in the Vietnam era. And right now,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 12: I'm going to give you the Iran solution. The Iran
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 12: war is a brave and bold necessary action. Think back
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 12: 90 years ago to the 30s. If FDR, England, and
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 12: Europe had made war against Hitler when he broke treaties,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 12: 80 million lives might have been saved. A nuclear Iran...
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 12: could kill about a billion people easily. What we need
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 12: is MAGA and MILC to get it done. I'm going
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 12: to give you three actions. Number one, MILC, make Iran
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 12: like Cuba. Unload every Iranian vessel, sell the contents to
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 12: pay for this war effort, and move the empty vessels
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 12: to a neutral port for long-term storage. then destroy every
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 12: vessel on the 1,500-mile Iranian shoreline. Iran will be like
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 12: Cuba with no boats. No vessels will be permitted to
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 12: enter or exit Iran. Number two, escort friendly ships through
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 12: the Strait of Iran. This is the most important thing.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 12: Don't accept a statement that this cannot be done. With
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 12: a $ 900 billion defense budget and 2.8 million personnel, plus
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 12: contractors and friendly nations, find an operational leader who can
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 12: make it happen. Number three, continue the destruction in Iran,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 12: starting from the shoreline and moving inward. War Department personnel
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 12: can get ongoing live ammo training, including drone use, instead
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 12: of practicing in U.S.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: Bases.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 12: Keep this up until the Strait is safe, the nuclear
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 12: dust is removed, and there are no terrorist actions from
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 12: Iran or any of their proxies anywhere in the world.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 12: Forget about any ceasefires. This regime will never cave.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 13: Deal?
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 12: We don't need no stinking deal or badges. Now, when
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 12: they've had enough, it might happen. The only thing that
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 12: counts for the world economy... is that the strait is open.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 12: There should be no reparations. They can use oil money
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 12: to rebuild instead of supporting international terrorism. Who's the smartest
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 12: player in this tragedy? Smarts don't have anything to do
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 12: with it. The regime in Iran has no concern for
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 12: its people, and they want to kill everyone else in
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 12: the They will take any destruction as long as they
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 12: stay in power. If the Strait isn't opened before the elections,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 12: the Dems will impeach 47, and Iran's problem is solved.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 12: Our problems become much more deadly. My message to DJT
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 12: and Secretary Hegseth, focus the way General George S. Patton would.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 12: Our futures are at stake.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks. You're on the air.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 23: I know you only want me to call once a day.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: Then why are you calling again?
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 23: When I had a call back. That guy that you
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 23: just talked to, did he say he was a corporal
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 23: in the United States Marine Corps?
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Something along those lines.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 23: A corporal in an SNG-4 in the United States Marine Corps.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: If that's what he said, stand by. Now take more calls.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we're here until 7, 330-729-9977.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 13: 570-WKBN.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: Listen, I'll say this to you with the last guy.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: Here's the reality of all this stuff. You've got to
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: start by acknowledging none of us know what Rubio and
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: these people know. None of us have the information that
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: they have. So none of us know that. So we
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: can sit here as armchair quarterbacks trying to act like
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: we know everything and what should happen And who knows
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: what the right answer is? So it's not that we
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have an opinion because we should. And it's not
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: that we shouldn't take a look at what is happening
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: and what the effects of it are and what we've
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: learned from history. So what I'm saying to everyone involved,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: the reality is we're there. And now you have to
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: figure out the game plan of getting out of there.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: And you have to say, okay, what's the exit strategy?
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: How are you? Are you going to be there six
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: months from now, a year from now? What is the
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: exit strategy to get out of there? What is a victory?
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much unknown to the American people
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: that it's just– reminds me too much of other situations
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East. I don't necessarily buy all the
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: crap that the neocons spew to try to get you
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: ginned up to go into these particular situations. So I'm
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: not always a believer in everything that they're saying, because
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: I think the government lies to you. They have an
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: agenda in many cases. So I'm wasting my time when
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: I say I think this was a mistake from the
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: very beginning, because I do. And I think Israel influenced
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: us to do it. And I think it was a mistake.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: And I think Trump thought that this would be over
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: much quicker than it is. And I think everybody involved
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: is surprised. that it isn't. Well, we sunk their Navy,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: their air force isn't any good. We bombed the hell
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: out of them and, and there's no agreement. And, and
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: then it's like, now, now what do we do? Now
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: we have another ceasefire and another ceasefire and trying to
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: figure out now, what do we do now? If we
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: go back and bomb them some more, does that mean
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: that they'll surrender and sign a peace agreement then? Or
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: will they say, well, no, we're not going to do
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: it then. Then what do you do? I mean, what's,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: What's the strategy here? What's the exit strategy? What's the
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: game plan? How long are you going to be there?
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can understand why Congress is saying at
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: what point you can't just do this forever as a president.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: At some point, we do have a check and balance system,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: and you do have to address Congress with it. And
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: there does have to be a debate over this. That
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: is how our system does work, whether we like it
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: or not. Would you not agree? That's how it works.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: It isn't up to him alone or any president to
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: determine this is what we're going to do and I'm
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: not going to have any debate over it by Republicans
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: and Democrats in Congress. That's not how this system works.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Do you agree?
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 23: One thousand percent. One thousand percent.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, the longer this goes on, I just, I'm looking, thinking, okay,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 1: was this..
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 23: There is no human being on this earth that can
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 23: run a country, and his word is the last word.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not certainly how the United States works. That's
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: not how we work.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 23: That is not how we worked for 250 years.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, at some point.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 23: And that is not. That is why the people of
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 23: this country are very upset.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: I think. News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 23: And you're on the air.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: JJ, the liberal.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 25: I am well.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you for asking.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 9: No problem. Dan, I'm glad you're asking questions. I don't like.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: The idea of we..
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 9: I'm talking while I'm talking. I'm trying to get in
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 9: the house here. I've got people trying to... wanting just
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 9: to blow them all up.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 9: Like you said, we don't... We don't know..
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 13: We don't know..
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: They're not like us.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 9: They don't think like us. And, you know, for us to..
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you're really out of breath, man.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I'm just moving around. I had to let
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 9: the dog out and, you know, just family stuff, you know?
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And then I was..
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 9: I just wanted to let my wife in the door there, but..
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: I.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 9: Just don't think it's a... I don't like the idea
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 9: of just wanting to just say, let's just wipe them out. And,
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 9: you know, it... You know, and in the same sense,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 9: they say that they're worried about, they're worried about us here,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 9: that they've never really threatened us. You know, it's all,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 9: like I said, it's all just boisterous talk, but they've not,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 9: they've not done anything. They haven't bombed us. They haven't
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 9: come after any of our, our military people, at least
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 9: not recently. And so it didn't, it just didn't warrant this. And,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 9: you know, he said that one guy, I can't remember
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 9: part of the conversation, he said, you know, that, that
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 9: bunker buster said, took care of all this, then why
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 9: are we still there? And, you know, I just have...
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 9: Are we just going to keep going around and around
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 9: and around, you know? And I just don't think... I
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 9: think it was just, you know, he said, it's a
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 9: bad mistake. I want him to succeed, whether everybody doesn't
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 9: think I want to, because if he succeeds, then I succeed,
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 9: and my family succeeds, and then you succeed, everybody succeeds.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 9: I'm not that shallow, you know? And I just..
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 15: I don't know.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 9: Maybe I don't even know why I really called, but I,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 9: you know, you're just, you're, you're.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, I understand why you called. It's why I say, listen,
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: everybody's entitled to an opinion and we all have one
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: and we should because it involves our country and it's
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: going to involve, we pay a price. whether that's economically
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: or as far as our sons and daughters are concerned,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: we definitely pay a price. So we should have an opinion.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: As I say, you've got to acknowledge that obviously the
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: people that are making the decisions know a lot more
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: than we do. Do I listen? You have generals that
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: disagree on this, that have a much broader base know-how
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: than any of us have. that are totally disagreeing on this,
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: that understand the logistics of how far it is from
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: the United States and have a better understanding of a
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: military operation because they're generals. And they don't even agree on–
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: they view it differently. So, I mean, all I can
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: say is give you my– My opinion, and my opinion remains,
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: I think he got into this because of Israel. I
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: think they thought they could be out of this much
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: sooner than they are. And I think they're a little
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: bit shocked that they're not out, that it's taken the
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: direction it's taken. And the straight is in a situation
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: that it's in, which is having difficult issues on the world.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: as far as fertilizer and products that are needed that
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: go beyond oil, other products that are needed. So you
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: will have other countries that will very much suffer a
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: food crisis or starvation that other countries will have that.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: You'll have other countries that will have major energy problems
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: as far as their citizens are concerned.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 9: And it's long-term, because like you said, I don't remember
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 9: the guy's name. I'm sorry to interrupt you, sir. The
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 9: guy you said that you were, said it's not going
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 9: to go down. What's his name again?
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: Well, even Art Berman said, he's an oil analyst, even
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: he said, listen, this is unprecedented. It's hard to say
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: exactly what's going to happen, because it's uncharted waters. No
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: one knows for certain. We can only speculate. And I
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: don't know enough. I learned more about oil than I
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: ever thought I would know. When you hear oil, you
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: think all oil is the same. Well, it's not. I've
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: learned that the oil we have in our country is
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: not the oil that we can refine and make diesel
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: fuel out of, that it's light crude. And I learned
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: about heavy crude. And just by reading this, as I say,
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: you think oil is oil? Well, it's not. You don't.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: So it's like alcohol, saying alcohol is alcohol.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 15: There's beer and there's... A little bit of information on that.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 9: And that's true.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 16: If you don't know the..
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 9: You can know 90% of a situation, but that 10%
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 9: you're missing is..
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: Don't you find it out by reading the experts? I mean,
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: don't you have to basically read the people who... There
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: are a lot of knowledgeable people that you can read
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: what their views are that deal in this stuff all
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: the time. I don't know about the refineries. I don't
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: know about the different types of oil. And I know
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: I've learned heavy crude comes from Russia. It comes from Canada.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: And it comes from the Middle East. Yeah, and you
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: need that to make diesel. And you need that to
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: make jet fuel. And you need that for shipping. And
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: then I know that we have light crude, and you
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: can use that to make gasoline. And most of the
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: refineries are set up for heavy crude and not light crude.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: So this is stuff that I've learned. I've learned that
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: when you shut these wells off, as they're doing, you
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: can't turn them back on like a light switch. That
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: when you turn them on, it takes a considerable amount
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: of time for them to get active again. And sometimes
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: when you turn them back on, they don't get active again.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: It's one of the risks you take in shutting an
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: oil well down. I didn't know that. So I learned
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: it from these experts on it. So they also tell
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: me that you have an oil shortage that's going on
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: because you've got all this oil that's been taken out
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: of the pipeline. And you've got people depleting their strategic
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: oil reserves. China and the United States put 17 million
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: barrels out there to try to keep prices down so
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: that you actually have somewhat of an oil shortage. I
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: don't know any of this. These guys that follow this
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: stuff know all of this stuff. So they're the ones
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: saying it's not a good picture as you get further
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: into July without an agreement or August. It just gets worse.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 9: I just want to leave you with this because I
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 9: know you've got other people on the line waiting. But
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 9: one thing that it gets me is that I wish
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 9: you would just quit saying you're going to have a
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 9: 60-day or a 30-day or a 20-day or 40 hours
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 9: or whatever it might be just because it really doesn't
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 9: mean anything anymore. Because when we go up, the stocks,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 9: everything goes based on what President Trump says sometimes. So
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 9: I wish you would just kind of pull that back
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 9: a little bit, restrain from being so informative at times,
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 9: you know, and because then we're hoping and praying based
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 9: on what he tells us, whether things are going to
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 9: turn around for us. So, but I just wanted to
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 9: call him and hear your voice and say hi to you.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you again, I'm proud of everything you're doing
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 9: for us.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: Are you going? Well, maybe you'll be at that flea
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: market tomorrow. If you do, go see the boss lady.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 9: In fact, I'm finishing up one of my other paintings
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 9: right now, and I'm going to be out there. And
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 9: if you want to stop by, I'd like to have
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 9: something for you.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: Well, go see the boss lady. She's going to be there.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 9: I promise I will do that. I promise I will
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 9: do that.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: I expect a picture. Thank you. All right. It's interesting
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: just when you look at this whole situation. I mean,
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: I spend way too much time. just trying to get
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: the input of people that are experts in these fields.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: And then you look at the experts, like I say,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: you got generals who disagree on how this situation is
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: going and they know a lot more about it than
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: any of us. You know, when I've started listening to
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: these generals and then I started hearing, well, you know,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: you got to look at the logistics. How far is
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: it to get the, get supplies to that area? It's
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: like 6,000 miles. So logistics makes a big difference. I
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: started listening to some of these generals. Well, when people
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: are fighting for their homeland, that's a lot different than
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: if you're the outside. Look at in Vietnam when we
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: were doing all this bombing and had all this sophisticated equipment. Well,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: those people, that was where they lived and they ended
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: up being successful at the outcome of it. So when
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: you listen to these generals and you, And they start
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: saying you really can't win a war by simply bombing
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: from the air. It's just this idea that you can
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: win that way is ridiculous. And, okay, so I listened
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: to them generals tell me that. Well, you can't. You're
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: not going to win that way. It's just not going
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: to work. So, okay, so then I got to agree
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: with Trump, the Trump administration. I don't think Iran's in
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: a good position at all. I mean, I think they're devastated,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: economically speaking. I mean, I think they are, and 100%,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: their economy's got to suck big time, and they're devastated.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: But are they willing to, are they, from a culture,
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: willing to wait it out and say, we're not giving
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: in to this at all? We'll wait this out. We
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: can wait it out longer than you can, and we'll
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: cause economic harm to the United States with inflation and
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: oil prices too. You know, for every action, there's a reaction.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: Where Iran can say, well, you do that. Early on,
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: Iran says, you do that to us. Here's what we're
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: going to do. We're going to take out some of
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: the oil capacities in some of these places and oil
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: prices will soar even more. I mean, I don't know
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: that anything in a military war operation is predictable. So,
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it seems to me like Trump wants to
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: try to put an end to this and reach some
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: type of an agreement. And it seems to me the
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: other day he was pissed at Netanyahu because he kept
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: dealing with Lebanon and doing things that were not making
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: it easy to reach an agreement. Is that theatrics?
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: Is that reality? Who knows? But what's the game plan?
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: So if you fired back up and go bomb some more,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: explain to all of us how that's going to work
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: this time if it didn't work last time. I mean,
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: so I don't know that anybody really knows. I think
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is uncharted water. You're on air.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 23: Sorry, we got disconnected. Am I allowed to speak?
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: Real quickly, because it's one call per program, okay?
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 23: I know, I know, I know. The guy that called
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 23: in from the Marine Corps? Yeah. He said he was
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 23: an E-4 corporal.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: I don't remember.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 23: He was with an E-4 corporal.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: I don't remember if that's what he said he was,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: but anyway.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 23: I'm pretty sure that's what he said he was. An
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 23: E-4 corporal is usually in charge of a squad. Now,
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 23: that squad is about 12 or 13 men in the
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 23: Marine Corps.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 4: Now..
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 23: His insight that he had as a corporal was very insightful.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 23: It was very good. If you were listening to him,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 23: now he is an E4. Again, look it up. You'll
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 23: understand what I'm talking about. And the reason I'm saying
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 23: this is because, again, I'm not trying to— You tell
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 23: that corporal that you are talking to a grand corpsman
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 23: that ended up with the Marine Corps. And that's how
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 23: I know about this kind of stuff. His insightfulness after
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 23: all these years is very, very good. And you should
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 23: pay close attention to what he was saying. Now, he
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 23: was very far down the chain of command as far
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 23: as making any kind of It is what, you know,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 23: what the president, vice president, it's not even close. But
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 23: what I'm trying to say is the average guy out
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 23: there has a lot of answers for this country. And
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 23: they're not paying attention to him. They're not paying attention.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: I got to move along. Thank you. You're on the air.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Roland.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: I'm well. Go ahead, please.
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid this war is going to be another Vietnam.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: And I think if it goes past Labor Day, there
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: will be a blue wave in November.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: I hope not, but I think you might be correct.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid. One thing that's interesting, we're celebrating our 250th
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: birthday this year. And 100 years ago, we had a
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: song called Over There. And the last line of the
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 2: Over There says, we won't come back until it's over
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: over there. Well, lately, all of our wars, they're never
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: over over there. So I don't know. Of course, President
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 2: Eisenhower warned us against the military-industrial complex. And that's what
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 2: we're dealing with now. Because war is good for business,
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: you know that.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 2: And the Trump family is making money off this war
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: because they're selling drones to all the countries that are
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 2: around them and that the Iranians are bombing. So the
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 2: Trumps are making money off this deal. And that's not right.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: I pray every night that this war comes to an end,
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: but I'm afraid it's not going to come to an end.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to send our boots on the ground,
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 2: because that would be stupid, too. And we can't nuke them,
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: because if we start throwing around nukes, everybody will throw them,
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: and then the world will be over. And we don't
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 2: want that.
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you.
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 2: Have a great day, Ron.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 28: Fifth Avenue called him three times. He needs sanctions to
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 28: the highest degree, Ron.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Unacceptable. Okay.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 29: Some risk assessment here.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 28: I think I caught you and Jake earlier today. Were
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 28: you talking about what happens when you meet your untimely
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 28: demise at 103 years old?
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: I was looking at what happened to Bitcoin today. Oh, yeah.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: You took a little bit of a hit there, huh?
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 28: I think you might be confusing volatility and risk there.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: I just wanted you to know I was concerned about you.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: That's all that I was looking.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 8: I'm glad.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 28: You should just only be concerned if I have enough
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 28: to buy the dip.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know you got that.
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 14: You and Jake might have been talking about what's going.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 9: To happen once you pass away at the age of 103.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 28: Yes. So I already have the answer, and I would
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 28: ask if I could have the rights to have your
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 28: cloned voice for an AI agent to use. You could
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 28: just continue on indefinitely. You could be like Casey Kasem.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 28: He's still doing the top 20 or whatever.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: How long has our bell been dead, and we run
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: them every Saturday?
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 25: Well, that's what I mean.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 28: But if you can have brand-new shows all the time,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 28: you just get all your euphemisms, everything, the AI knows
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 28: what you like, you upload all the podcasts, it'd be fine.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 8: And I think..
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 28: Right now would be a good time to just let
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 28: me have the rights to that.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll give it some consideration. I'm more interested.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 28: Are you going to let me do that? Because if so,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 28: I just made a deal with Iran.
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: No, I'm interested in what you have to say about
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: Iran as you go through all of this. I am
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: genuinely interested. Don't go anywhere. Let me do my break
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: because everyone says he's a smart guy. because he is.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: I want to get his take.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 16: All righty. So what do you think? Give me your assessment.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 28: Well, our messaging on everything with Iran is about as
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 28: consistent as diarrhea. I have no idea what's going on there.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 4: Nobody does.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 28: And anybody who opines on it is only speculating. I
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 28: just wish I'd hear more about what happened in Venezuela.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 14: You don't hear anything.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 28: About that anymore.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 6: We have a deal.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 28: We don't have a deal with Iran. It's the same
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 28: story every day, just a different narrative.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 8: And it stinks.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 28: I mean, if you look at the market today, it
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 28: absolutely tanked. I'm sure Frank had already gotten out of
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 28: everything yesterday right before the drawback today.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 24: But Everything's a mess.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 28: Everything, interest rates are up, gas prices are up, your
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 28: blood pressure's up.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 21: I don't know.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 1: So what do you think, I mean, what do you
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: make of this situation? It's, I mean, it's just, I
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: think Rich, Rich, a pharmacist, he had the best line.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: It's a quagmire. He said Trump's put himself in a quagmire.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? Because I do.
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 28: I think so. Look, we're not even negotiating with them.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 28: We're negotiating with an intermediary, which is Pakistan. We've had
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 28: talks with whoever was in charge at that time before
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 28: they got blown up in Islamabad, which is the same
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 28: city that was harboring Osama bin Laden. Why are we
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 28: even dealing with them? I don't understand. It's a huge mess.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 28: The president of Iran, he just resigned the other day,
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 28: so he's not even in charge because he says the
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 28: military is under control. Yeah, you could bomb them until oblivion,
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 28: but then it's just the next man up, as we've
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 28: seen after killing the, what, 55 top officials. Number 56
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 28: is now in charge, apparently, and they're all the same.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 28: So unless you change something in any other sort of way,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 28: nothing's really going to be changing anytime soon.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 29: So I agree.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 28: If something doesn't happen by the midterms, but who knows?
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 28: A lot can happen between now and then. I hope
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 28: it ends quickly and everything goes back to normal. But
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 28: I don't know what normal is going to be after
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 28: everything's over.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: That is, you know, kudos to you. That's extremely well said.
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate your time, Alec. You know that.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 4: Have a good weekend.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 19: All right.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, now that was concise to the point and
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: just simply well said. And everybody's in our, I mean,
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: he really made a great statement. Everybody's an armchair general.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: All I do is listen to these different generals and
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: these oil brokers and try to absorb their knowledge to
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: render an opinion based on what all of them have
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: to say because they know a lot more than the
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: rest of us. Back with more in a minute. News
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: Radio 570 WQEN taking your calls till 7 tonight. Ron
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: Ferb from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 19: From ABC News. I'm Mike Dabusky. President Trump says the
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 19: soon-to-be acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, should cut
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 19: positions at the country's spy agencies. ABC's Karen Travers.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 20: We need it clear that this really is an acting
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 20: role for Bill Pulte as the director of national intelligence,
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 20: that he will be serving in this capacity for a
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 20: period of time, but that he is already talking to
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 20: people to fill that role permanently. The president says he
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 20: has five interviews set up with people to potentially be
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 20: the next director of national intelligence he didn't get specific
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 20: on who he is talking to but he said they're
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 20: all very good people you know very well and people
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 20: that do that kind of thing and he called them respected.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 19: People the president also reacting to today's better than expected
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 19: jobs report so we.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 18: Had incredible job numbers today you saw that And we
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 18: have good everything, good numbers, but the job numbers just
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 18: came out and they were fantastic.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 19: More on those numbers from ABC's Sherry Preston.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 30: Another strong jobs report, this one for the month of May.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 30: Analysts have been expecting about 80,000 jobs to have been
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 30: added to the U.S.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: Economy last month. Instead, they added a solid 172,000.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 30: Showing resilience despite rising costs from the war. Revised numbers
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 30: for March and April also show even more hiring than
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 30: had been reported. The unemployment rate remains unchanged at 4.3%,
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 30: where it's been for most of the year.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 19: In Aurora, Colorado, there is an outcry over an appeals
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 19: court decision to reverse the homicide convictions of two paramedics
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 19: who had been charged in connection with the death of
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 19: Elijah McClain. Median Schaffner is with the advocacy group Epitome
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 19: of Black Excellence and Partnership.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: You can put it in whatever words you need to.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 17: We know that the Colorado Appellate Court just simply moved
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 17: the goalposts.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 9: That's all they did.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 19: You're listening to ABC News.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 16: Hot summer. WKBN.com.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: Back to it. News Radio 570 WKBN. And Ron Verb,
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: you're on the air.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 14: I got to turn the radio off. My blood pressure's
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 14: going off.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: It's the best thing for your heart. How is the ticker, incidentally?
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 13: Well, I don't know.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 14: I don't think it's as good as it was a
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 14: couple years ago. I can tell you that.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 28: I feel a difference.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 14: But nothing I can.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 12: Do about it.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, so..
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah. I called in because over the years, I've heard J.J.
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 14: say some really crazy things. But when he says that
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 14: Iran really isn't threatening us, really isn't hurting us, I
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 14: don't know what world that kid lives in. They have killed, wounded,
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 14: maimed thousands of our soldiers over the years. Thousands. Those
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 14: people over there, you've got the guy from Kansas. He says, oh,
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 14: three levels in a row I get. Okay, after changing.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 14: The guy from Kansas, oh, we.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 11: Don't want to drop nukes. Oh, everybody's going to throw
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 11: nukes around.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 14: It'll be the end of the world. When we dropped
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 14: two nukes on Japan, who came after us? Nobody. How
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 14: many ground troops did we have in Japan when we
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 14: dropped those bombs?
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 13: None.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 14: The only thing those people over there understand is power.
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 14: We are the single most powerful nation in the world.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 14: There is no one more powerful than us. And I'm
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 14: going to tell you right now, after what we did
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 14: there in a few weeks, Russia's afraid of us, and
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 14: so is China. And if you want to end this, Trump,
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 14: I'm so disappointed because he's letting them stall him. He's
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 14: supposed to be a great negotiator. I've been negotiating for
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 14: 38 years of my life, 39 years of my life.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 14: There comes a point when you say, no, you're stalling me,
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 14: and you change your tactics, and they are just stalling you.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 14: And he's letting this country go down the drain because
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 14: of their stall tactics. That's all it is. They should
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 14: get up, walk out of the negotiations, don't say a
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 14: word to the press, which is probably one of the
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 14: biggest enemies within that we have in this country, get
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 14: up and walk away. After we're all out of the country,
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 14: we drop a great big nuke in the middle of Tehran,
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 14: and we don't say a word about it. We drop it,
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 14: and we wait for them to call us. And if
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 14: they don't call us, we take out the Strait. We
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 14: should do that first. We should open the Strait first.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 14: They are nothing compared to us, okay? We should wipe
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 14: those people out, take the straight out. That doesn't bring
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 14: them to their knees. Drop a nuke in the middle
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 14: of Tehran, right dead center in the middle. Because you
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 14: know what? Half those people are better off dead than
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 14: the living conditions they have right now under that regime.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 14: So drop it there and see what they do. Let
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 14: them make the next move. They're not going to nuke us.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 14: They can't. And I don't think anybody's going to come
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 14: running to their aid. Because nobody in that area wants
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 14: anything to do with it. Because they're criminals, they're terrorists,
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 14: and they're morons. And it's time we just put an
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 14: end to that whole country, which is just a pain
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 14: in everybody's rear end in the whole world. I am
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 14: sick and tired of Iran. We have the greatest president
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 14: we've ever had who could do the greatest things that
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 14: ever been done. And we're all tied up waiting for Iran...
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 14: to make decisions and negotiate with us. Throw the negotiations
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 14: out the window.
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 14: I think the oil prices, you hope that's straight, the
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 14: oil prices will be normal in three weeks. They're coming
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 14: down now, and we're not even doing anything to improve it.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 14: And they're coming down. I think everybody's panicking over nothing.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 14: It's not going to be a long-term thing. Half these analysts,
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 14: I'm sure, based on this country, 50% of them are liberals,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 14: which tells me they're idiots.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 11: Okay?
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 14: So you got 50% of the opinion is from an idiot.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 14: Take the other 50% and gamble that we're going to
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 14: drop the prices quicker. I mean, this is just, it's
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 14: so ridiculous. This Fifth Avenue guy, I mean, he calls five,
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 14: six times a day. He's calling it. I mean, I
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 14: don't want to hear him. He just, you know, it's
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 14: the same old thing. He hates Trump. He's so happy
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 14: that they took Trump's name off the Kennedy Center. Trump
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 14: is the only one to spend 10 cents improving the
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 14: Kennedy Center, which was a disgrace, the condition it was in.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 14: But he's happy. The guy's got Trump's arrangement system staged
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 14: for him. I'm telling you, he better wake up, get
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 14: out of his kitchen, go get some fresh air. get
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 14: some oxygen to his brain, because he needs it. I mean,
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 14: how you could be against anybody improving America like that
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 14: guy is, it makes no sense to me. And I
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 14: got to tell you, my lawn is perfect. Okay? But
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 14: if I lived beside him, I wouldn't cut my grass either,
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 14: just to spite him. I would just let it go.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 14: And that's probably, that's exactly why the two neighbors beside
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 14: him probably do it. They probably know what a pain
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 14: in the rear end this guy is, how opinionated he is,
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 14: how whacked out he is with the liberalism. And they
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 14: probably said, screw him.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 9: Well, it's okay.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 14: And I'm going to make him mad.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: Take a deep breath.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 14: And then we got Biden.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 11: You're J.J.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 13: Doing art now.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 14: I don't know what to buy first, a J.J. painting
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 14: or a Biden painting. You know, Hunter paintings.
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 9: Hunter's paintings dropped off.
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: You've got to go to the four-season flea market. I
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: think that's where he's going to be tomorrow selling his paintings.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: Go take a look. Maybe he'll do a portrait of
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: you while you're right there.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 14: The real artiste he is.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 1: You never know. You never know. All right, Nick. You
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 1: take a deep breath and enjoy your weekend, all right?
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 14: Oh, I'm going to enjoy it.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 4: All right, buddy.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 11: Trump's got to get moving on this.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 14: He can't be waiting for them. They're playing him.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 15: And he can't let it go on any longer.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: Well, what should he do? What should he do?
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 14: Stop negotiating with them.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 11: Show them power.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 14: That's all they understand. Don't talk to them.
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 3: Just bomb them.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 14: I'm telling you, bomb them. And if you don't want
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 14: to start because, oh, it's too hard to start with Dukes,
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 14: Bomb them with conventional bombs.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 11: Just shatter. We've killed how many?
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 14: Maybe we're down to leader number 56. Maybe when we
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 14: get to 280, the 281st one may say, we've got
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 14: to do something. Maybe that's what it will take. Because
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 14: so far, none of them are worth anything. They're just scum.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 14: And it's like killing cockroaches to me. It really is.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 14: These people, when they say they want to kill you,
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 14: they want to kill America, you damn well better believe them.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 14: They're not saying that to hear their head rattle. They're
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 14: saying it because they want us dead. And now that
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 14: we shook the Hornets' deaths half apart, they will all
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 14: want us dead now. Not just their government. It's them.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 3: It's all of them.
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 14: I can remember watching on TV American flags burning, death
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 14: to America, death to America. Okay, we started it. Right, wrong,
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 14: and different. Did we do it because of Israel? I
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 14: don't know. Probably had something to do with it. But
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 14: Israel whacked a lot of them and got a lot
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 14: of them out of there. So now that we're in it,
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 14: let's finish it. I don't want this quagmire of peace,
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 14: and I don't want the quagmire of war. We tried
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 14: both ways. Trump has bent over backwards for them. He's
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 14: on the radio or on TV saying, we're going to
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 14: agree to this, we agree to this. And then some
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 14: idiot over there gets on at the same time and says,
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 14: we didn't agree to nothing. Okay, you want to make
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 14: them agree? Show them power. That's what they understand. You
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 14: start showing them power, and you can bring them to
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 14: their knees. And when they finally surrender, you bomb them
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 14: two more times, just for good measure. Two more big ones.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 14: Just so they understand, if you change your mind when
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 14: Trump leaves, this could happen to you again. And that's
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 14: the honest-to-God truth. We are playing around with very dangerous
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 14: people who want us dead, We're letting them negotiate. We're
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 14: letting them rebuild weapons. Just get rid of them. You
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 14: are being played, Mr. President. You know, if somebody's buying
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 14: a car for me and I'm negotiating with them and
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 14: they just go sideways on me, I can't duke them.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 14: I have to figure out what I'm going to do.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 14: But they're not doing it so they can kill me.
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 14: They just want to buy a car.
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 9: This is the big leagues.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 14: I mean, he just has to say, I'm sick of
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 14: you people. I'm done. Wipe his hands. Don't let the
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 14: media get a hold of any information. Just nuke them.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 14: And let the Iranian media come out and say, oh,
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 14: my God, they nuked him. Let it go like that.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 14: And just the less he says to them, the better
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 14: off he is.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 14: They blink first, they lose. I'm telling you right now.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 24: There it is.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: Nick wanted to drop the nuke, right?
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 14: Absolutely.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: I mean..
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 14: What else are we going to do? You want to
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 14: sit there and play with them for another six months?
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 11: Lose the election?
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 14: Lose the Senate? Lose the House? Put in this guy
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 14: with the nipple Nazi tattoo? The guy who was friends
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 14: with the sheik who put together 9-11? The Democrats want
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 14: to put them in? They think they're better off with them?
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 14: AOC and the squad? All those terrorists, basically, that we
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 14: elected to Congress? I mean, we have so many screwed
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 14: up liberals in this country. That could happen. We could
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 14: have terrorists running our country, and we better wake up.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 14: I would just set the example. I would make Iran
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 14: the example. No one, not Russia, not China, they're going
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 14: to go talk to the U.N. They're going to condemn it,
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 14: but not one of them is going to do anything
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 14: to us.
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 25: Russia couldn't beat Ukraine in.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 14: Six, seven years, for God's sake.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 11: Okay?
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 14: They got all the nukes in the world. They haven't
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 14: beat Ukraine. You know why they haven't beat Ukraine? They're
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 14: afraid of us if they launch the nuke.
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 6: That's why they haven't.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 14: Russia is afraid of us. Yeah, they should be. And
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 14: China should be, too. I mean, all those Chinese soldiers
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 14: walking around marching, you know, the thousands of them are marching.
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 14: A couple of nukes, they're gone, too.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 9: Let's be realistic.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 14: They cannot destroy us. We can destroy them. And I
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 14: truly believe that. You know, they laughed at Trump, all
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 14: the liberals. Oh, my God, Space Force. It was a
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 14: big joke. Well, because of Space Force, we can watch
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 14: what they're doing now. with all the nukes, the dust
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 14: that they have left, we can watch everything because of space.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 23: Okay?
• 2:14:04
  Speaker 14: They're not going to get over us on help. You
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 14: think China's going to put people on the moon and
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 14: shut people? They're not going to do that.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 3: They're not going to do it.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 14: China's going to be broke pretty soon. If they lose
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 14: this cheap Iranian oil, their economy's going to be crashing.
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: So..
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 11: I just..
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 14: We're the biggest power act like it.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 6: Act like it.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 14: That's all I'm saying. We owe no country nothing. As
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 14: far as I'm concerned, we have supported countries around the
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 14: world since before I was born. We have spent more
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 14: money on foreign aid, foreign help, than any two countries
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 14: put together. And people always want to stab us in
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 14: the back. You've got these Republicans that want to go
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 14: against everything the president wants. I'm glad they lost. A
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 14: lot of them now against the SAFE Act, they're all losers.
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 14: All losers from the election. And that's a great thing.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 14: We've got to get them out. But if Trump wants
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 14: to keep guys like me and keep the base that
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 14: he has built, he's got to do something. He can't
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 14: sit there and try. And God bless him. He wanted
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 14: to end it peacefully. Nobody dying. This is a war.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 14: People are going to die. Hopefully our people aren't going
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 14: to die.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 9: And if we use snoops..
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 14: They aren't going to die. They're going to be above
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 14: it all, and they're going to get out of it.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 14: We don't have troops on the ground. We don't need
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 14: troops on the ground. A couple of bombs. Look at
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 14: the attitude adjustment it gave Japan. Look at that. How
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 14: quickly they changed their mind and surrendered. I'm telling you,
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 14: you've got to do that. They are not going to
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 14: back down.
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 4: There it is.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: General Nick. Thank you, Nick. Appreciate it. You're on the air.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 29: I want to give Nick an aye-aye, Captain.
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, that's General Nick.
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 29: General Nick, aye-aye, Captain.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 3: Aye-aye, General.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 29: You agree with him? 90% of your callers, you are
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 29: dead wrong on everything you said today.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 25: You're looking at the.
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 29: Glass half-empty instead of half-full. And I believe, and Ron,
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 29: I'm coming with some tough love today.
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 29: But I think you're the same guy... when the Twin
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 29: Towers came down, that probably said, why didn't we do
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 29: something to prevent this? I'll bet you said that. I'll
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 29: bet you said that when you were pulling that..
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what? It's a much different scenario because
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: those people were... Yes, it is. Those people were in
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: our country and that whole thing could have been prevented
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: if you look at Brennan..
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 29: How do you know who's in our country right now?
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 29: The border's been.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 1: Open for four years. You brought up September 11th. If
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 1: you really take a look at Those people were here.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: We knew they were here. Brennan knew they were here.
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: I think it reflects total intelligence incompetence that they weren't
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: apprehended and stopped before it happened.
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 29: What we're seeing right now is not total intelligence incompetence.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 9: People who know the least.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 29: Right now, people who know the least think they know
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 29: the most.
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that anyone knows everything. Everyone has
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 1: an opinion. I think Nick's opinion is he's tired of
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 1: the ceasefire on and off. He wants to nuke them.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 3: I'm with Nick.
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 6: I support my president.
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 29: I support Trump 100 percent for what he's doing.
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 1: I don't hear Trump. Well, wait a minute. Well, wait
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: a minute. Wait a minute. You support your president. Trump
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: isn't talking about nuking him. Nick is criticizing Trump for
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 1: all the ceasefires.
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 6: Whereas you and Fifth Avenue, Frank and JJ, you guys
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 6: are bashing him like he doesn't know what he's doing.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 6: No one, you know, not counting you. This isn't meant
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 6: towards you, but JJ, Frank from Fort Lauderdale, Fifth Avenue,
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 6: no one said a doggone word for four and a
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 6: half years, four years as we dug the hole that
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 6: we're in. No one said a word. Now all of
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 6: a sudden they care about gas prices. They care about groceries.
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 6: They care about inflation. They cared about eggs until that
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 6: went away. So it doesn't matter what Donald Trump does.
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 9: It doesn't matter.
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 6: The reflection pond in Washington.
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 3: They lost their marbles because he fixed it.
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 14: I mean, it's enough.
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 9: Enough.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 6: Everyone bitches every day. Every day. And we, me and you,
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 6: we fall into the trap sometimes. You know, what are
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 6: we looking at right now? We're looking at a little
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 6: bump in inflation that Trump has got under control. We're
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 6: looking at a little bump in fuel prices because, as
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 6: Trump said, this little excursion going on in the Middle East.
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 6: We've got the Arab world.
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 24: United behind us. Israel is united with the Arab world
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 24: outside of Iran. These proxy terrorist groups are being eliminated,
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 24: with the exception of Hezbollah. They've still got some weapons
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 24: they haven't. completely emptied their cash out. I mean, if
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 24: you don't think Iran is the biggest threat to the
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 24: world and needs to be dealt with, I can't help you.
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 24: The largest state sponsor of terrorists. They've killed more American
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 24: soldiers than any other responsible body we can find. If
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 24: they took action, they had to have strong intelligence.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 3: To do so.
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 14: I do not believe.
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 29: I think Donald Trump's crazy. I think he's a lot
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 29: of things, but I don't think he's dumb. And I'll
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 29: guarantee you, you know and I know how he feels
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 29: about war. He is not going to start a war
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 29: without strong reason or belief. These people that think he
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 29: did it just because Netanyahu told him to do it
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 29: are nuts. And if anyone falls in that category, I'm
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 29: talking about you. This guy, people don't give him the
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 29: credit he deserves.
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 6: Now he's got to fight his own party.
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 29: Do you think he wants these headaches?
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 14: Do you think he wants to be at war?
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 29: I think he'd rather be on a golf course at Mar-a-Lago,
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 29: entertaining people, having a good time.
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 1: Stand by, Ted. Stand by. Stand by.
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 10: Yonge Towns News, Weather, and Talk Station, 570 WKBN. All right,
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 10: back to it. Where did Ted go?
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 1: Let's see, I think.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 24: Ted?
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 3: Hello?
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 1: I think I lost Ted. Okay, go ahead.
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, you hear me?
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, I do.
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 27: Okay, I just wondered, what would be so bad about
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 27: inviting Mr. Trump to call on your station and letting
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 27: your listeners have a go with him?
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: I think he's got a lot on his plate right now,
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 1: and he's probably not going to spend a lot of
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: time calling in.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 27: You don't think so?
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 9: No, I don't think so. I don't know, man.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 27: He was the kind of gutsy guy that he was
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 27: to get elected, man. I thought he was more of
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 27: a man of the people and would rise to the challenge. Anyways,
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 27: that's just my idea. Crazy idea, maybe.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll always keep a line open for him,
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: all right?
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 3: Okay. Thank you.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on air.
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 9: Afternoon, Ron.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 3: Couple points uh..
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 15: Little research uh... are part of the the war that
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 15: twenty million barrels of uh... oil that was coming out
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 15: of the gulf only two point five uh... million barrels
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 15: was from iran because our oil was sanctioned back in
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 15: these months that once the strain is open that could
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 15: be easily you know replace within and you know increase uh...
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 15: production i think uh..
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 9: Really uh..
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 3: What it's going to come down.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 15: To, if they're not going to negotiate in good faith.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 3: Here, we're just going to have to bankrupt that country,
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 3: take away their oil industry.
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 15: You know, if you eliminate their electricity, drop the bridges,
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 15: and take out the oil industry completely, that Coral Island,
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 15: the whole, you know, getting caboodled there, where they no
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 15: longer have any money coming in, hey, they can't rebuild
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 15: their military. They can't even pay their own military. They
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 15: certainly won't be able to export terrorism, and they won't
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 15: be able to make nuclear weapons with no money. I
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 15: think that may be the ticket there. And where you
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 15: guys are talking about parallels to the Vietnam War, I
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 15: think the only parallels here are the negotiations and the reaction.
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 15: If you go back to the Paris peace talks with Kissinger,
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 15: at that point, the North Vietnamese literally wanted us to
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 15: unseat the South Vietnamese government.
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 3: You know, they refused to return our prisoners.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 15: And finally, Nixon had enough where he mined the High
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 15: Front Harbor, and then he ordered the Christmas bombings. And
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 15: we bombed them like we were bombing Germany. They were
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 15: right back at the negotiating table, and we were able
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 15: to come up with a solution there. I think what
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 15: it's going to come down to with Trump here— Again,
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 15: he doesn't like to see this destruction of stuff, but
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 15: if you can't make sense with these nut balls, again,
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 15: they think their religion is we've got to have the
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 15: whole world awash with blood, primarily our blood. Then their
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 15: imam's going to climb out of the well that's been
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 15: hiding down there since the 14th century.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 9: That's what these fools believe.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: Um, yeah, we got to take away their money.
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 9: We just got to, you know, that way they can't
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 9: harm anybody.
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 1: So what do you think he should do next then?
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, so when you assess Trump, literally eliminate the
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: oil industry.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 15: Eliminate their electricity. Can't build drones or, you know, missiles
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 15: if you don't have any electricity. Kind of tough to
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 15: do that. In fact, they won't even be able to live.
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 3: In their caves anymore. These rats are going to have
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 3: to come up to the surface.
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 15: You know, you can only run the generators for so long,
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 15: and then they're If you eliminate all their money, then
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 15: they won't even be able to put fuel in the
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 15: motorboats to threaten the ships in the Gulf. In the
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 15: short term here, let's make some squads of Marines available
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 15: to go on the ships, because let's reduce them to
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 15: where they're just out there using rowboats.
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 3: Not the motorized.
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 15: Again, eliminate their electricity, drop their bridges. Take out the
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 15: oil industry completely. Again, it only counts for 2.5 million
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 15: barrels of the 20 million that was coming out of
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 15: the Gulf before.
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 3: That's it. You're poor.
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 15: In fact, they'll be hat in hand to the Houthis
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 15: and Hezbollah.
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 3: Hey, we need some money here.
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 15: You can't have a.
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 3: Totalitarian regime with no money there. It just doesn't work.
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 3: Microwave them.
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 1: That's my solution. Thank you. NewsRadio 570. Dodie Cummings and
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: Ron Furman. We're with you tonight until 7 o'clock. So
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 1: stay tuned. You're on the air.
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 3: Hello. Go ahead. I was calling in regards to President Trump.
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 11: I've voted for him three times.
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: Stand by for one second. Let me do my headlines.
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 1: I'll come right back to you. Just hang in there
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 1: for a minute. Come right back with him right after this.
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 1: All right. A lot of debate, a lot of interesting opinions,
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: just like there is in the country over this situation.
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your patience. Go ahead with your comments, please.
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. Like I said, sometimes President Trump disappoints me. Biden
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 3: disappointed me from day one. And as far as I
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 3: really know how much money we've already paid Iran, but
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 3: can we trust them? If we give them another $ 500 billion,
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 3: can we trust them? Five or six presidents didn't do anything.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 3: If it was done initially, we wouldn't have this problem today.
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 3: This problem needs to be solved today. 50-some years ago.
• 2:26:32
  Speaker 3: And I believe if we don't do it, you know,
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 3: we can't trust them one bit.
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 1: So where do you think it should go from here?
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 1: Because it seems to be just stagnating.
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 3: Well, one thing about Trump, I don't know how many
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 3: times he's said they're willing to negotiate. We can't believe
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 3: him all the time for sure. But whatever it takes
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 3: to win this war, we need to do. We can't
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 3: go on with this half-buff. Let's negotiate because you know
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 3: they're not going to really negotiate. They're just dragging their
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 3: feet and making more drones. It needs to be done.
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 3: It needs to be done right away and get it
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 3: over with. I believe gas prices will go down, not immediately,
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 3: but they'll go back down to what they were.
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 1: And do you agree with some of the callers who
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 1: called today who thought the United States, if they should
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 1: nuke them?
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 3: No, no. I don't think we need to kill all
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 3: the people. We just need to get rid of the leaders.
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 3: The smartest guy in the world said that the only
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 3: way to win a war is prevented, and that was Einstein.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 3: And he knew the power of the nuclear bomb. No,
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 3: we don't need to do that. We don't need to
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 3: do new lives either. We can do this without many
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 3: loss of lives.
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 1: What would your suggestion be on that? I mean, since
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 1: we've done some pretty... Well, the bunker busters seem to
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 1: be very effective, but... And we had the bombing campaign.
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 1: So what's the next step, or what do you think
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 1: it should be?
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 3: I really don't know. I hate to see all the
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 3: civilians pay for this. But people can't protest. You know
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 3: what's happened? They're dead in a second as soon as
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 3: I protest. So, you know, you can't blame them for
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 3: being timid. You know, they just don't have a chance.
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 3: You protest, you're dead. I don't know the answer. Does anybody?
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: Well, we were turning to you. Listen, a lot of
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 1: people have called with different perspectives and different thoughts about it.
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 3: If anybody knew the answer, we wouldn't have this war.
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 3: There's really no answer.
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: I would say to you, you would like to think
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 1: that you're... You would like to think that the people
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 1: that are in charge, Rubio, Trump, and those folks know
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 1: a lot more than, obviously, well, they obviously know a
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 1: lot more than any of us know of what's going
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 1: on and what the reality is.
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 3: These people, we hope they know more than us. We
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 3: trust them for that. Sometimes that's a mistake, but obviously
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 3: they know more than us. They wouldn't have started this
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 3: If they didn't think that it needed done. It needed
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 3: done 50 years ago, for God's sakes. You know, not now.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 3: It needed done 50 years ago. We should never, ever
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 3: gave them billions of dollars. And we gave them billions
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 3: of dollars, and what did we get? Same old thing
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 3: over again. It's got to be resolved, and I don't
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 3: know the answer, but whatever it takes to bring them down,
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 3: we have to do it.
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. I appreciate it.
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 3: 329-9977.
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 1: There you go. Punching the wrong buttons here. With you
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 1: till 7 tonight, 330-729-9977. There's different takes, just as there
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: are different takes in the entire country. I mean, from
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 1: when people say, well, this guy says this, this guy
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: says that. As I said earlier, you take a look
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 1: at this situation and you have people that know a
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 1: lot more than any of us that are generals that
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: don't agree with each other as far as what the
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 1: best options are or what we should be doing. These
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 1: people are generals that understand military strategy and logistics and
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 1: they don't agree as far as how it's going or
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 1: what should happen or how it can go. So, I mean,
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 1: and these are people that are, you know, it's just
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 1: interesting to me. Like I said, I try to do
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 1: the best I can do, as I'm sure many of
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 1: you do, by reading whatever experts you can read that
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 1: have know-how in the field. Different commentaries that you hear
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 1: from different generals, pro and con, to see what their
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 1: thought process is. And then the financial ramifications, like I say,
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 1: understanding what can happen economically to our own country. And
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 1: to a certain extent, there are those people that say
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 1: that in Iran, they're sitting around saying, okay, it's a
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 1: waiting game. And they might be sitting there in Iran saying,
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 1: we'll wait this out because we know the midterms are
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 1: coming and we know that's going to be a big effect.
• 2:31:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, could that be their strategy? Could it be
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 1: the strategy of Iran saying, we'll wait this out because
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: when the midterms come... Everything's going to change because the
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 1: Democrats will be successful and they'll win because people will
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 1: be irate with inflation, high oil prices, and they'll win.
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden we won't have to
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 1: worry about this anymore. Maybe that's their strategy. I mean,
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 1: maybe Iran's strategy is we'll wait it out. We'll put
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 1: a hurt on the American economy as far as gas
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 1: prices are concerned. Inflation is concerned that maybe that is
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 1: their strategy. We'll just wait it out, and then we'll
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 1: see what happens as a result of the midterms where
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 1: the president is losing support in his own country, and
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 1: the Democrats might be successful. That might be their strategy,
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 1: thinking that's– now, on the other hand, some people might say, well,
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 1: the Trump strategy might change as well. The Trump strategy
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 1: might say, okay, we have to try to resolve this. Well,
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 1: he got in that argument the other day with Netanyahu.
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 1: or so they say, where he was upset because they're
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: trying to negotiate something and it seemed like Netanyahu was
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 1: kind of sabotaging it. So he's maybe back there saying, okay, hmm,
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 1: how can I get out of this situation and declare
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 1: a victory? I mean, so maybe that's what he's contemplating too,
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 1: because he's concerned about what could happen with his legacy
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 1: and his situation at the midterms as well, because he'll
• 2:33:14
  Speaker 1: be neutered if the Democrats take control of the House
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 1: and the Senate. He's neutered at that point for the
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 1: next couple of years. So there's a lot on the
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 1: line for everybody involved. There's a lot on the line
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 1: for all of us when it comes to inflation and
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: gasoline prices and everyday living. There's a lot on the
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 1: line for all of us. There's a lot on the
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 1: line for Trump when it comes to, it's the economy,
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 1: stupid as Carville said, can the Democrats take control of
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 1: the House or the Senate or both? And then Trump's
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 1: going to have serious problems in getting anything accomplished for
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 1: the next couple of years. And then the agenda that
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 1: he was elected on, dealing with inflation and so All
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: of this kind of stuff comes to a screeching halt
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: because he's been checkmated by the Democrats. I mean, if
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 1: you think this thing through, there's a lot of options
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: that are going on and a lot of things that
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 1: could happen as a result of the situation. And you
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 1: really can't predict, incidentally, any outcome when it comes to
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 1: anything militarily. I mean, you don't know if these things
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 1: can escalate. that some of these other countries get more
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 1: involved in it, whether that's China or Russia or some
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: of the folks in the Middle East that get upset.
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 1: They're not necessarily the United America's biggest fans in the
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 1: Middle East. I mean, there's just so many moving parts
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 1: about all of this kind of stuff. It's just, it's
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 1: a fascinating process. And I got to tell you something.
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can give you my thoughts, my opinion.
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 1: But I find a lot of people's opinions, whether I
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 1: agree with them or disagree with them, interesting the takes
• 2:35:09
  Speaker 1: that they have as well. We're all kind of armchair
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks on all of this kind of stuff. But I
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 1: always go back to say you hope that, well, you
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 1: don't hope. You know the people that are in charge
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 1: know a lot more than we know. And probably know
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 1: a lot more than a lot of these retired generals
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 1: know that are doing some of the speculating and commentary.
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure those generals have their connections, as probably
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 1: know more than most of us. But you have to
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 1: look at Iran and think it is economically devastated. I mean,
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 1: the idea that Iran is winning, whenever I hear that,
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 1: I just kind of say, well, where does that come from?
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 1: Because if you take a look, I mean, their economy
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 1: is devastated right now. What happens is more people, you
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 1: have a huge inflation problem in Iran. You have people
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 1: that aren't getting paid, whether that's their military people. At
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 1: what point does the chaos erupt in that country because
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 1: of the inflation and the lack of money coming in
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 1: to where... They look around and say, okay, what do
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 1: we do now? The problem, it's a shining example, incidentally,
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 1: when you say about the people that go out and
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 1: protest or want to take their, want to be more
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 1: active in that. That's an easy thing to say when
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 1: the government has all the guns. When you always hear
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 1: these people talk about our Second Amendment or making, giving
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 1: up some of your Second Amendments. the people are a
• 2:36:46
  Speaker 1: little bit, it's difficult for them to uprise in Iran
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 1: when they don't have any weapons and they start doing
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 1: an uprise. And so the next thing you know, they
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 1: shoot six or seven of them right in between the eyes.
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 1: And the next thing you know, the people that are
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 1: causing the uprise all scatter and you don't see anything
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 1: more happening because they don't have anything to fight back.
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 1: There's another thing I was reading where They were making
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 1: suggestions that the CIA or some covert operation should also
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: try to be secretly shipping arms to a lot of
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 1: the people. But I don't know how you would determine
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 1: who you would give them to and who the people
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 1: that won't respond. change would be. And then would they
• 2:37:32
  Speaker 1: have the training and the courage to go against the
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 1: military in that country that would certainly have their share
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 1: of weapons and training? I mean, there's so many pieces
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 1: to this mess. Some of these experts always... There's a
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 1: lot of pieces to it, let's just put it that way.
• 2:37:50
  Speaker 1: From NewsRadio 570, WKBN, and Ron Verb, hello there.
• 2:37:53
  Speaker 11: Hey, Ron, you.
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 28: Brought up a very important point I thought just now
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 28: about that it's awfully difficult for them to go up
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 28: against the government without any guns. And it really speaks
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 28: of American exceptionalism. A lesson we never learned, it seems like,
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 28: as a country, that during the Revolutionary War... We had
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 28: farmers that went up against the superpower of the day.
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 28: And they had guns, but they weren't much. And all
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 28: odds were against them, but they spilled their blood because
• 2:38:27
  Speaker 28: freedom was valuable enough for them to go spill their
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 28: blood and give their lives. And it seems like in
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 28: the course of world history, every time we went into
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 28: a Korea or a Vietnam or Afghanistan or Iraq, you
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 28: name it, we were trying to... do that job on
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 28: their behalf. But the problem was we were using our
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 28: young soldiers, our young Marines, and Delta and Army and
• 2:38:52
  Speaker 28: infantry and everybody else. And if you do that, then
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 28: the blood is cheap, isn't it? They don't care if
• 2:38:58
  Speaker 28: American blood is being spilled kicking in doors and getting killed.
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 28: That's cheap freedom, and that's why it never sticks. And
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 28: I think that's the problem that Trump is facing. And
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 28: I think it's a lesson we just can't seem to
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 28: learn as a country is, You can't go over and
• 2:39:13
  Speaker 28: do it for them, as much as we would like to,
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 28: until they want to stand up. And I'll say this.
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 28: The people in the inner cities, same thing. Until they
• 2:39:23
  Speaker 28: stand up and say enough is enough with the crime
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 28: and the corruption and everything else going on, they have
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 28: put themselves back in bondage, and they all just kind
• 2:39:31
  Speaker 28: of live in the problems of the city. But back
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 28: to Iran specifically, I think Trump was really hoping that
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 28: those men of fighting age would stand up Are several
• 2:39:43
  Speaker 28: thousand going to get killed?
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 28: Are you going to free millions and future generations?
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 28: Is it worth it to them? Evidently not.
• 2:39:51
  Speaker 1: Well, they don't have the weapons. I've got to pause.
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your call, though. Some good insight. I should have,
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 1: on the end of my line, Orange Cassidy. Orange, are
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 1: you there?
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am here.
• 2:40:04
  Speaker 1: All right, folks. Tomorrow at the Covelli Center, the AEW
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 1: is in town. The event begins at 7 p.m. Tickets
• 2:40:11
  Speaker 1: available through Ticketmaster or at the box office. And this
• 2:40:15
  Speaker 1: is AEW star Orange Cassidy, a two-time international champion. Now,
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 1: for our listeners who've never been to one of these events,
• 2:40:22
  Speaker 1: and I'll get into that, explain to them what the
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 1: AEW is.
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 4: Well, it's professional wrestling from all around the world. And
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 4: you'll see live action fights and maybe some blood. Maybe
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 4: you'll laugh. You might get sad. You might cry. But
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 4: you can boo and you can cheer. And, I mean,
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 4: I've never had anybody say they had a bad time.
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 4: So it's everything you want in entertainment.
• 2:40:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:40:54
  Speaker 1: But when you hear that kind of stuff, and you
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 1: mentioned the term entertainment, but I mean, everybody's in real
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 1: shape and it's real wrestling. It's not just entertainment. I mean,
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 1: it is the sporting aspect of it too, right? The training,
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 1: staying in shape.
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 25: Absolutely.
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 4: When I say entertainment, I'm referring to people going and
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 4: paying money to see something. We have some of the
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 4: most amazing athletes. I think, in the world. The stuff
• 2:41:30
  Speaker 4: that you see in person live is incredible.
• 2:41:35
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 1: No one knows the outcomes. It's not staged or anything
• 2:41:39
  Speaker 1: in that sense. I mean, when you're going against your opponent,
• 2:41:41
  Speaker 1: both of you are there to win, correct?
• 2:41:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, I better win because if I don't win,
• 2:41:47
  Speaker 4: I don't get paid more money. So I try to
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 4: win every time.
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 1: Well, and how disappointing is it if you fall short
• 2:41:57
  Speaker 1: of that? I mean, do you go back and..
• 2:41:59
  Speaker 4: Do I fall short?
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 4: I don't get, you know, the money that I would
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 4: have had if I went, and then I have to
• 2:42:05
  Speaker 4: start from the bottom and I have to work my
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 4: way back up. It's just, you know, losing is not
• 2:42:12
  Speaker 4: great in AEW.
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 1: And do you go right back to the gym, right
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 1: back to training, or trying to figure out how to
• 2:42:18
  Speaker 1: step your game up from where you were prior to that?
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 4: Uh, I'm too lazy for that, but somebody would do that. Uh,
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 4: me personally, I, uh, uh, you know, I don't think
• 2:42:32
  Speaker 4: that far ahead. So I just try.
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 3: To win it.
• 2:42:35
  Speaker 1: I'm intrigued. How did you get into this? I mean,
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 1: I assume you were just a normal guy doing normal things.
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 1: How did you get involved in all this?
• 2:42:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I could say that I was, uh, never normal
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 4: if I was going to get into this. I think
• 2:42:51
  Speaker 4: I was abnormal and then decided to do professional wrestling.
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 4: Watching it growing up, I got a taste of all
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 4: of the different types of professional wrestling from the Lucha
• 2:43:05
  Speaker 4: Libre in Mexico into the British.
• 2:43:09
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second. Hang on, Orange.
• 2:43:11
  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 1: I've got to do a commercial break. I'm going to
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 1: come back, and I want to hear the answer to that.
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 1: And more until 7 tonight. Ron Verb, stay tuned. 70 WKBA.
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 1: Talking with Orange Cassidy on the end of our line.
• 2:43:23
  Speaker 1: He is going to be tomorrow at the Covelli Center,
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 1: June 6th, with the AEW collision. That's going to be
• 2:43:32
  Speaker 1: going on tomorrow. But I'm always intrigued, man. So, I mean,
• 2:43:36
  Speaker 1: at what age did you actually say, I'm going down
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 1: this road, I'm going to train, and I'm going to
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 1: get involved in this?
• 2:43:44
  Speaker 4: Well, I was always into sports, and I was amateur wrestling,
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 4: playing baseball, soccer, track, all that stuff. And right when
• 2:43:52
  Speaker 4: I was about to get into high school, I broke
• 2:43:55
  Speaker 4: my arm in half, and the doctors, the orthopedic surgeon
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 4: said he was going to have to amputate my arm.
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 4: Thank God they didn't. But because I was sidelined from
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 4: doing all the sports, I got really into wrestling, and
• 2:44:08
  Speaker 4: then I decided to build a ring in my backyard
• 2:44:11
  Speaker 4: when I was around 15, 16. And I got trained,
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 4: and here I am.
• 2:44:18
  Speaker 1: And you say when you broke your arm, it's still
• 2:44:21
  Speaker 1: a pretty aggressive sport where you can get a lot
• 2:44:23
  Speaker 1: of injuries. I mean, so have you had a lot of..
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, so I had that before wrestling, but after, while
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 4: I was wrestling, because I've been doing this for 20-something years,
• 2:44:37
  Speaker 4: I broke my orbital bone in my face, my sinus,
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 4: I broke my right leg, I dislocated my shoulder, I
• 2:44:43
  Speaker 4: had a type 3 AC separation on my other shoulder,
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 4: and I tore my pectoral muscle just last year.
• 2:44:52
  Speaker 1: So do you ever say as you get older and
• 2:44:54
  Speaker 1: age and this stuff heals enough already, geez, I'm getting
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 1: too old for this.
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 4: Uh, you know, that thing we were talking about earlier
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 4: about being normal. I don't think I'm normal. And, uh,
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 4: I think I just, I don't think about it.
• 2:45:09
  Speaker 3: Oh man.
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 1: So, so you don't, uh, so you'll do it as
• 2:45:14
  Speaker 1: long as your body allows you to do it. How
• 2:45:16
  Speaker 1: old are you now?
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 3: Orange?
• 2:45:19
  Speaker 4: Uh, I mean, allegedly I'm late 30s, but I plan
• 2:45:28
  Speaker 4: on going until I cannot any longer.
• 2:45:30
  Speaker 16: All right, man.
• 2:45:33
  Speaker 14: Until the wheels fall off.
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 2:45:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's hope that's no time soon. You can see
• 2:45:39
  Speaker 1: you tomorrow. What time do doors open down there, do
• 2:45:42
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 2:45:44
  Speaker 4: Uh, doors are usually around six 37, something like that.
• 2:45:48
  Speaker 4: But the, the, the, the first match before the, so
• 2:45:51
  Speaker 4: we go live at eight, but the first, they, we
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 4: have a couple of matches to get you all primed
• 2:45:57
  Speaker 4: up and ready to go and get ready for what
• 2:46:00
  Speaker 4: you see. That's around seven 30. They start those matches.
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, the, and, uh, and, uh, orange Cassidy will be
• 2:46:06
  Speaker 1: there with all of, all of his systems healed up
• 2:46:10
  Speaker 1: and looking for another, another great night. I enjoyed my
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 1: conversation with you. I certainly hope that we get a
• 2:46:17
  Speaker 1: chance to talk again just to understand what makes guys
• 2:46:21
  Speaker 1: like you tick, man. I appreciate it. I wish you
• 2:46:24
  Speaker 1: the best of luck tomorrow, and I hope for a victory, man.
• 2:46:28
  Speaker 1: Give them hell, Orange. Give them hell.
• 2:46:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 2:46:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Orange Cassidy, be wrestling tomorrow. Have a good night, everybody.
• 2:46:34
  Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend.
• 2:46:43
  Speaker 31: From ABC News, I'm Dave Packer. The latest government employment
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 31: report showing employers added 172,000 jobs last month. President Trump
• 2:46:51
  Speaker 31: this afternoon on Air Force One saying that's better than expected.
• 2:46:54
  Speaker 18: So we had incredible job numbers today.
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 1: You saw that?
• 2:46:59
  Speaker 18: And we have good everything, good numbers, but the job
• 2:47:03
  Speaker 18: numbers just came out and they were fantastic.
• 2:47:05
  Speaker 31: But as Trump celebrated those jobs numbers, the stock market
• 2:47:08
  Speaker 31: suffering its worst day of the year, the Dow dropping
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 31: 695 points today, the Nasdaq suffering the biggest blow, 1,121 points.

  Speaker 31: President Trump says that the soon-to-be acting director of national intelligence...
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 31: Bill Pulte, should cut positions at the office of the
• 2:47:23
  Speaker 31: Department of National Intelligence. He even compared it with the
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 31: education department, which is being dismantled.
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 20: The president brought that up and compared it to that.
• 2:47:31
  Speaker 20: saying this maybe should even be terminated. He wasn't specific
• 2:47:35
  Speaker 20: about what his plans would be, but certainly indicating he
• 2:47:38
  Speaker 20: wants to see Polte go in there and shake things
• 2:47:40
  Speaker 20: up and limit the size of this sprawling office right
• 2:47:44
  Speaker 20: now that, of course, oversees spy agencies.
• 2:47:47

• 2:47:57
  Speaker 31: anti-weaponization fund. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
• 2:48:02
  Speaker 4: Republicans are trusting the word of Todd Blanche, who built
• 2:48:05
  Speaker 4: a career on lying, that the administration will just drop
• 2:48:09
  Speaker 4: this slush fund.
• 2:48:11
  Speaker 31: Senator Lisa Murkowski was the lone Republican to join all
• 2:48:14

• 2:48:17
  Speaker 31: Five astronauts returning to the International Space Station after being
• 2:48:21
  Speaker 31: ordered by NASA to stay in a docked spacecraft. The

  Speaker 31: agency had told them to don their spacesuits and enter
• 2:48:26
  Speaker 31: the spacecraft out of an abundance of caution after a
• 2:48:29
  Speaker 31: recurring air leak in the Russian service module. We're told

  Speaker 5: the Constitution because it doesn't apply to every Georgia county.
• 2:50:26
  Speaker 17: If the legislature chooses to make these races nonpartisan, it

  Speaker 17: the city of Atlanta.
