- 0:31Speaker 2: you're on the air.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Ron, Billy Goat.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Yes, the man with the Billy Goat beard.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Yeah, just wanted to call and update you. I had
- 0:38Speaker 3: my hernia surgery Tuesday.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Yes.
- 0:40Speaker 3: And I am on the road to recovery, my brother.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Was it a pleasant experience for you, Billy Goat, man
- 0:46Speaker 2: with the Billy Goat? Formerly the man with the Billy
- 0:48Speaker 2: Goat beard.
- 0:49Speaker 4: You know, it was good.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Kudos to the Cleveland Clinic. They went above and beyond,
- 0:55Speaker 3: and I had no problems whatsoever whatsoever. My nerves were
- 0:59Speaker 3: pretty low. I wasn't really nervous. But so far, I've
- 1:03Speaker 3: been doing good. I'm moving around more today. Most pain
- 1:07Speaker 3: is in the incisions in the stomach.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Where they put the scope through.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Down in the groin area is fine. That don't really
- 1:13Speaker 3: give me too much pain. That's most where they've done
- 1:16Speaker 3: the incisions.
- 1:17Speaker 2: You got any swelling and any of that kind of
- 1:21Speaker 2: stuff going on?
- 1:23Speaker 3: No, everything is good. And actually, the incisions are starting
- 1:26Speaker 3: to itch, so they're already healing. Everything is doing good.
- 1:30Speaker 3: I'm moving around today more.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Well, here's the key, though. Don't lift things heavy again.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I mean, if they haven't told you, they will tell you.
- 1:40Speaker 5: Yeah, they already told me.
- 1:42Speaker 3: No more than 15 pounds.
- 1:45Speaker 2: But, I mean, down the road, when you think you're
- 1:47Speaker 2: totally recovered, you better think twice before you say, maybe
- 1:51Speaker 2: I should ask for some help on lifting something like this.
- 1:53Speaker 6: You got it, buddy.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, believe me, I've thought about all that. Things are...
- 1:58Speaker 3: things are going to be way different because I'm not
- 2:00Speaker 3: going to put myself back in this same boat again.
- 2:02Speaker 3: I don't want to be doing this in a year
- 2:04Speaker 3: or so, having to do it all over again.
- 2:06Speaker 7: So, oh, absolutely.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Well, there you go. Formerly the man with the billy
- 2:11Speaker 2: goat beard who shaved it off out of respect for
- 2:15Speaker 2: your fearless leader here. And he looked a thousand percent better, incidentally.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I mean, he just enhanced his His looks, he went
- 2:22Speaker 2: from looking like an odd freak to almost George Clooney-like
- 2:25Speaker 2: by simply shaving off his billy coat beard. And women
- 2:29Speaker 2: are just, it won't leave him alone anymore. He's got
- 2:33Speaker 2: his hernia fixed and Lord knows what he'll be up
- 2:37Speaker 2: to a year from now. I mean, it just could
- 2:39Speaker 2: get ugly. It could get really ugly for, you never
- 2:42Speaker 2: can tell. Well, I'm glad you're doing well. All right.
- 2:46Speaker 7: Yeah, doing well.
- 2:47Speaker 6: Doing really well.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Thank you, my friends. I'm glad you checked in. I
- 2:50Speaker 2: was thinking about you. Appreciate it.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Will do.
- 2:52Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 2:52Speaker 2: All right. You're on the air.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Hi, Ron. How you doing?
- 2:55Speaker 2: I am well.
- 2:56Speaker 6: Good to hear that that guy had his hernia repaired.
- 2:59Speaker 6: But don't go to the Cleveland Clinic for such a
- 3:01Speaker 6: minor surgery when we have wonderful care in the Youngstown area.
- 3:06Speaker 6: Stick with Mercy Health or Southwoods. They have excellent surgeons there.
- 3:10Speaker 6: And a direct or indirect hernia is, unless it's really complicated,
- 3:15Speaker 6: it's like having a root canal.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of times I fix them in my
- 3:19Speaker 2: garage for people over the weekend, you know.
- 3:21Speaker 6: You can do that. You could pop it back in
- 3:23Speaker 6: for a while.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I mean, I actually do the surgery
- 3:26Speaker 2: out there.
- 3:28Speaker 6: Let me get back to why I was calling. I
- 3:30Speaker 6: finally calmed down from last night. I was livid at
- 3:33Speaker 6: 9 o'clock when I put on... I usually watch ABC, NBC,
- 3:38Speaker 6: and I said, where is Donald Trump? I said, what's
- 3:41Speaker 6: going on? I said, Carolyn Leavitt said it was a
- 3:45Speaker 6: major address to the nation. It was newsworthy. But yet
- 3:50Speaker 6: these two networks refused to show it. So I switched
- 3:55Speaker 6: over to CBS. And lo and behold, they weren't showing
- 3:59Speaker 6: the first part of the speech. They had Major Garrett.
- 4:03Speaker 6: I don't know if you know who Major Garrett was on.
- 4:06Speaker 6: He's one of the commentators on CBS. His eyes were
- 4:10Speaker 6: popping out. He was rolling his head. He proceeded to
- 4:15Speaker 6: tell me what Donald Trump was going to say and
- 4:18Speaker 6: what the speech was about and what conclusions I should
- 4:21Speaker 6: draw from it. What are you people talking about? Let
- 4:24Speaker 6: me hear the president. I'll draw my own conclusions. And ABC, NBC,
- 4:33Speaker 6: what were they afraid of? with it that they were
- 4:36Speaker 6: refused to show trumps address i was sort of disappointed
- 4:39Speaker 6: i was or a little surprise pleasantly but then i
- 4:42Speaker 6: was disappointed with other aspects he it was a blockbuster
- 4:49Speaker 6: disclosure but uh... this stuff he let go too long
- 4:55Speaker 6: we knew most of this we knew the election was
- 4:58Speaker 6: compromised in twenty twenty i don't know if you know
- 5:01Speaker 6: who said the policy yes Cindy Powell, General Flynn, Patrick
- 5:05Speaker 6: Burns were in the White House before the 2020 election
- 5:08Speaker 6: was certified. Sidney Powell had a ton of evidence showing
- 5:15Speaker 6: that the election was fraudulent. And they tried to..
- 5:20Speaker 2: I think they sued her in one, though, didn't they?
- 5:22Speaker 6: She just won her case. Lo and behold, she was right.
- 5:25Speaker 6: They were wrong. Everything she said was true. All of
- 5:28Speaker 6: the facts and data she presented... And what they were
- 5:32Speaker 6: trying to get Trump to do was to convene a
- 5:37Speaker 6: military tribunal and don't certify the election and arrest certain
- 5:42Speaker 6: people for election fraud. and certain intelligence officials. Trump, there
- 5:49Speaker 6: were two..
- 5:50Speaker 2: Well, let's just cut to the speech last night. I mean,
- 5:53Speaker 2: first of all, I don't know, don't you have cable?
- 5:55Speaker 2: It was on Fox. I mean, why would you go
- 5:57Speaker 2: anywhere else?
- 5:58Speaker 6: It was on Fox, but I usually watch it on my..
- 6:00Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, it goes without saying. Listen, if
- 6:04Speaker 2: you're asking me why, listen, it's Trump. Why do you
- 6:07Speaker 2: think ABC and NBC is not going to carry it?
- 6:09Speaker 2: Because it's Trump. Any other president, they would have carried it.
- 6:12Speaker 2: But because it's Trump, they decided not to carry it.
- 6:15Speaker 2: So why waste your time watching those networks? I mean,
- 6:18Speaker 2: I just tuned right into Fox to watch it. And
- 6:20Speaker 2: so there it was, word for word. I mean, next time,
- 6:24Speaker 2: go to Fox. And that's where you'll hear the speech.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Why put up with this?
- 6:28Speaker 6: When the media executives... get together and make a decision
- 6:32Speaker 6: behind closed doors to censure the president of the United
- 6:36Speaker 6: States from the American people. It's a big deal. You know,
- 6:40Speaker 6: that should raise all kind of alarm flags. It was disgusting.
- 6:45Speaker 6: But the information he released about the intelligence departments that
- 6:51Speaker 6: were withholding information from a sitting president, They did not
- 6:56Speaker 6: brief him. They knew what was going on with the
- 6:58Speaker 6: China interference in the elections, China, Russia, the other players.
- 7:03Speaker 6: They told not to tell him that. And then he
- 7:06Speaker 6: had one of the three-letter agencies, the lady that came
- 7:10Speaker 6: out and said that they were running a deep state
- 7:13Speaker 6: to run their own agenda. You know, these people should
- 7:16Speaker 6: be rounded up right now and arrested. But then when
- 7:19Speaker 6: you get to the point where They have verified a
- 7:23Speaker 6: quarter of a million illegals voted in the election, and
- 7:27Speaker 6: that's just in red states because the Democrats are hiding
- 7:32Speaker 6: all of the... So you probably had upwards of a
- 7:35Speaker 6: couple of million people voting in the election in 2020.
- 7:39Speaker 6: And to have Senator Warner come on after the speech
- 7:44Speaker 6: and call the president a liar, and all of the
- 7:48Speaker 6: commentators basically called Trump a liar... When he's released today,
- 7:53Speaker 6: you can go to WhiteHouse.gov and look at all of
- 7:55Speaker 6: the information that he released this morning and draw your
- 7:59Speaker 6: own conclusions. But there is hard evidence. But for them,
- 8:04Speaker 6: you know, most people don't bother watching the speeches. They
- 8:07Speaker 6: listen to mainstream media, okay? They listen to their nightly news, CBS, ABC, NBC,
- 8:15Speaker 6: whatever they're told they believe. And it's a shame that
- 8:19Speaker 6: this went on, but... The other thing I was disappointed with,
- 8:23Speaker 6: he didn't mention, I thought he would just mention briefly
- 8:26Speaker 6: the war and the escalation where we bombed the bridges
- 8:30Speaker 6: and railways and were doing civilian infrastructure. That sort of
- 8:34Speaker 6: upset me.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Well, quite frankly, I think that's what the entire speech
- 8:40Speaker 2: should have been about. I would back up to say this,
- 8:44Speaker 2: and I go back to say this. This is a mess.
- 8:47Speaker 2: This war situation is an absolute mess. And as a
- 8:51Speaker 2: Trump voter and a Trump supporter, this is a mess
- 8:54Speaker 2: that falls to Donald Trump. He created this mess. I
- 8:59Speaker 2: don't know that there's a way out of this mess.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And it's going to affect all of us. I mean,
- 9:04Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how to tell this
- 9:05Speaker 2: to people. But here's the reality. I mean, in my opinion,
- 9:09Speaker 2: Trump was bamboozled into this because Netanyahu in Israel, when
- 9:14Speaker 2: he started this situation, he should have never done this
- 9:18Speaker 2: in the first place. I'm sure he thought this would
- 9:20Speaker 2: go much easier than it's gone, and it has not.
- 9:23Speaker 2: And it continues to go on with absolutely no end
- 9:27Speaker 2: in sight. Here's what the problem is. Our strategic oil
- 9:30Speaker 2: reserves continue to dwindle as we continue to draw on
- 9:35Speaker 2: them to try to keep oil prices down. So they're dwindling.
- 9:39Speaker 2: And at some point, it's just going to stop as
- 9:42Speaker 2: far as us taking oil out of them. Listen, as
- 9:45Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, a major mistake. I think a
- 9:48Speaker 2: lot of inflation is going to come and higher gasoline
- 9:52Speaker 2: and oil prices will come as a result of this mess.
- 9:55Speaker 2: It is an absolute, absolute mess that the he got
- 10:00Speaker 2: this country into. And remember, before the war, the strait
- 10:06Speaker 2: was open. There was absolutely no problems at all. We
- 10:09Speaker 2: didn't have any of these issues before the war. I
- 10:12Speaker 2: was not staying up at night worried about a nuclear
- 10:15Speaker 2: threat from Iran at all. And even our own intelligence
- 10:19Speaker 2: departments said that there was nothing there to worry about.
- 10:23Speaker 2: But for some reason, he reversed himself, as I said.
- 10:26Speaker 2: He's got involved in this regime change stuff in the
- 10:29Speaker 2: Middle East. We're bogged down now for months with no
- 10:33Speaker 2: good way out, no end in sight. And the only
- 10:37Speaker 2: thing that is in sight is higher energy prices, higher
- 10:40Speaker 2: oil prices, higher inflation and inflation. our reserves of oil
- 10:46Speaker 2: are dwindling. So you tell me how that's perhaps the
- 10:51Speaker 2: most important issue that needs to be addressed at this time.
- 10:54Speaker 6: I mean, it's vital. You're 100% right. I agree with
- 10:57Speaker 6: you 100%. And one of Trump's flaws is he doubles
- 11:02Speaker 6: down when he makes a mistake. He refuses to admit
- 11:05Speaker 6: he was wrong. He'll go down the wrong path, and
- 11:08Speaker 6: he'll double down and make it worse. And he did
- 11:12Speaker 6: that with... Not just the war, but with COVID. We
- 11:16Speaker 6: made a mistake with COVID. He wouldn't admit that.
- 11:19Speaker 2: I can only deal with one thing that I think
- 11:21Speaker 2: is major at this time. Listen, do I think COVID
- 11:23Speaker 2: had problems and are we holding people accountable for it?
- 11:26Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Do I think that we've got to have
- 11:28Speaker 2: secure elections? Absolutely. I think all of this is important.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Make no mistake about it. But I do think the
- 11:34Speaker 2: single most important issue facing us right now is what's
- 11:37Speaker 2: going on in Iran and where this could head and
- 11:40Speaker 2: what's going on there. And I'm just here to say,
- 11:43Speaker 2: as somebody who voted for Trump, somebody who would certainly
- 11:46Speaker 2: vote for Trump over Harris any day of the week
- 11:48Speaker 2: or over Biden or any Democrat any day of the week,
- 11:52Speaker 2: I am deeply troubled by the mess he got this
- 11:54Speaker 2: country into with no end in sight. And I think
- 11:57Speaker 2: it's going to cost all of us dearly. Gas prices
- 12:00Speaker 2: are back up to four bucks a gallon. I think
- 12:02Speaker 2: they could go higher than that. We're draining our strategic
- 12:06Speaker 2: oil reserves. I mean, they are just– we as a
- 12:10Speaker 2: country are not in a good position economically right now
- 12:13Speaker 2: at all. And you are a smart financial guy. Too
- 12:18Speaker 2: many financial people are talking recession and a depression as
- 12:24Speaker 2: a result of this. I mean, we've got different criteria
- 12:29Speaker 2: than we had in 1929 for the depression. But they're
- 12:32Speaker 2: talking a deep recession or a depression. And I think
- 12:36Speaker 2: that's just cause for concern as we see what's taking
- 12:40Speaker 2: place here.
- 12:42Speaker 6: Yes, you should be one of the people advising Trump.
- 12:44Speaker 6: But look at all the people that tried to advise Trump.
- 12:47Speaker 2: There is no advising him. I mean, there's absolutely no
- 12:52Speaker 2: advising him whatsoever. I mean, he makes a decision and
- 12:55Speaker 2: he goes with it. He stays with it. And I
- 12:59Speaker 2: just think the guy was duped by Netanyahu and Israel
- 13:02Speaker 2: to get involved in this in the first place. And
- 13:04Speaker 2: I don't know that there's any easy way out of
- 13:07Speaker 2: this at all.
- 13:09Speaker 6: I'm sad to say you're right. It's not looking good,
- 13:14Speaker 6: and I think it's going to be a very long war,
- 13:16Speaker 6: and hopefully we don't go into a recession, depression, but It.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Could very well go in that direction, but it's not
- 13:23Speaker 2: just oil, as you well know. It's helium. It's fertilizer.
- 13:30Speaker 2: There's so many chemicals that are affected by this as
- 13:33Speaker 2: well that are necessary for business. So don't think it's
- 13:36Speaker 2: just all about energy. There's other chemicals that you can't
- 13:40Speaker 2: get that are needed for many companies. I mean, this
- 13:43Speaker 2: was just a stupid move that is just going on
- 13:47Speaker 2: and on and on and on. What's the answer to
- 13:49Speaker 2: get out? Well, we'll bomb them more. Well, I think
- 13:52Speaker 2: we bombed them a lot, so let's bomb them some more. Okay,
- 13:55Speaker 2: what do you want to do? Well, we're going to
- 13:56Speaker 2: bomb the desalinization plants. We're going to bomb the bridges. Okay,
- 14:06Speaker 2: so what do you do if that doesn't work?
- 14:09Speaker 6: Well, we're doing that today, and I hate to see
- 14:11Speaker 6: civilians get affected, and I wish that... We wouldn't have
- 14:17Speaker 6: bought into that. We did it in Iraq with Bush,
- 14:20Speaker 6: weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist. And Netanyahu's been
- 14:25Speaker 6: telling us since 1995 that they're three weeks away from
- 14:29Speaker 6: a bomb, and the end of the world is coming.
- 14:32Speaker 6: But somehow Trump, he got suckered into it, and he
- 14:36Speaker 6: bought that story, and the country is going to pay
- 14:39Speaker 6: the price, like you said.
- 14:40Speaker 2: Well, it isn't necessarily the country. It's all of us
- 14:42Speaker 2: that are going to be paying the price. We're the
- 14:44Speaker 2: ones that are going to pay the price financially for
- 14:48Speaker 2: these decisions that were made. Listen, I think the bunker
- 14:51Speaker 2: buster solved the problem. And I don't think that they
- 14:54Speaker 2: were a nuclear threat at all. I think the problem
- 14:56Speaker 2: was solved with that. So it's a mess.
- 15:00Speaker 6: He did solve the problem when it happened. He awarded
- 15:03Speaker 6: medals to all the pilots, and it was a great success,
- 15:07Speaker 6: and the threat was over. And then all of a sudden,
- 15:10Speaker 6: what happened? Boom, we're back into a war.
- 15:12Speaker 2: And if you believe what some of the people say,
- 15:13Speaker 2: we are running out of weapons, quite frankly. I don't
- 15:17Speaker 2: know if the right word is weapons or bombs.
- 15:20Speaker 6: Yes, you're right. That's the big, big problem.
- 15:22Speaker 2: We are running out of it. I mean, we are
- 15:23Speaker 2: desperately low from all that was sold and given away
- 15:27Speaker 2: to Ukraine and what we've been using. We are in
- 15:31Speaker 2: short supply.
- 15:33Speaker 6: China has to be sitting back and loving this.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Depleting our military, and if they ever decide to take
- 15:40Speaker 6: Taiwan someday in the future, that we'll be a much
- 15:43Speaker 6: weakened military, but that's just what they want. But I'll
- 15:47Speaker 6: let other people say what they think about the speech.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Good hearing you, my friend.
- 15:51Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Back after this. Stay tuned.
- 16:05Speaker 4: You know, I listen to you, and I just don't
- 16:07Speaker 4: understand you.
- 16:08Speaker 2: I'm a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction.
- 16:13Speaker 4: You know what? You said it, didn't you, buddy?
- 16:15Speaker 2: Let's say Chris Christopherson. Yes, go ahead.
- 16:19Speaker 4: I've got this under control, man.
- 16:21Speaker 2: No, he doesn't have this under control. Wait, wait.
- 16:24Speaker 4: Let me talk now.
- 16:25Speaker 2: I'll let you talk, but that's a false statement. He
- 16:27Speaker 2: does not have this under control. Wait a minute, wait
- 16:29Speaker 2: a minute.
- 16:31Speaker 4: We're talking. You're listening, okay? I love that, by the way,
- 16:34Speaker 4: how you start that, how you start the show. I
- 16:36Speaker 4: love that, that slogan you got.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 16:41Speaker 4: Anyhow, he's bombing the hell out of them and taking
- 16:45Speaker 4: them out so that way they can't do anything.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Well, we've done that. We've done that. We've done that
- 16:50Speaker 2: all along.
- 16:50Speaker 4: No, we're not done yet.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Oh, okay. We're not done yet.
- 16:54Speaker 4: See, there's targets. that they either launch from or have things. And,
- 16:59Speaker 4: of course, we have to take care of that Peacock
- 17:02Speaker 4: Mountain or whatever you call it. He's going to put
- 17:05Speaker 4: some B-2 bombers on that one.
- 17:08Speaker 2: So you're telling me, just so I get an understanding
- 17:11Speaker 2: from your insight, General, can I call you General, that
- 17:16Speaker 2: when this bombing campaign is done, it'll all be over
- 17:18Speaker 2: and things will go back, the Strait will be open
- 17:21Speaker 2: and everything will go back to normal?
- 17:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 17:24Speaker 4: Everything goes back, and also the other Arabian countries, who
- 17:29Speaker 4: love him for doing this, by the way, are going
- 17:33Speaker 4: to feel much safer, and they're building pipelines. Up to Israel,
- 17:38Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
- 17:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, certainly pipelines are a good idea, but
- 17:42Speaker 2: it's not as though pipelines can't be sabotaged. We've seen
- 17:46Speaker 2: that numerous times. Yes, we have.
- 17:48Speaker 4: Yes, we have. Now, I'm not saying everything's going to
- 17:50Speaker 4: be safe. I'm just saying that..
- 17:52Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying that this is a mess. I'm
- 17:55Speaker 2: saying it's a mess. You know as well as I
- 17:57Speaker 2: do he thought this would be over relatively quickly. It
- 17:59Speaker 2: is not. He keeps talking, well, they want to make
- 18:03Speaker 2: an agreement, and that was probably all BS because they didn't.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Then we went into this 60-day truce or whatever you
- 18:12Speaker 2: want to say.
- 18:13Speaker 4: No, Islam doesn't honor agreements.
- 18:16Speaker 2: All right. So why did he say that then?
- 18:18Speaker 4: Now he does. And now he calls them liars. And cheaters,
- 18:24Speaker 4: and now he's figured it out. Now, I figured that out.
- 18:26Speaker 4: I figured that out because I'm Lebanese, and I knew
- 18:28Speaker 4: that back in the 80s.
- 18:31Speaker 8: Especially when they bombed our marine barracks.
- 18:34Speaker 4: That kicked me off.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Well, I tell you what, we shall see is all
- 18:39Speaker 2: I can say to you. We shall see.
- 18:41Speaker 4: I know that one.
- 18:41Speaker 2: All right. Goodbye. You're on the air.
- 18:45Speaker 5: Hi, Ron.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Hi.
- 18:47Speaker 5: Hey, I'm calling because yesterday I laughed. Frank from Fort Lauderdale,
- 18:54Speaker 5: I think, mentioned me, because I had asked you previously
- 19:00Speaker 5: what he meant about the, when he always talks about Zionists.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he said he would address that one on
- 19:05Speaker 2: a future program, yes.
- 19:07Speaker 5: Yeah, so, because I don't know, like, what Zionist is,
- 19:12Speaker 5: if it's like this cabal that wants Israel to control
- 19:14Speaker 5: the world, or if it's just all Jews, or what
- 19:18Speaker 5: it is. But can you ask him a question when
- 19:20Speaker 5: he doesn't do that for me?
- 19:21Speaker 2: What is that?
- 19:23Speaker 5: Ask him if Jerry Seinfeld is a Zionist.
- 19:26Speaker 2: All right.
- 19:28Speaker 5: And then from there we can go and whether or not,
- 19:31Speaker 5: you know, who he's exactly talking about, who the Zionists are.
- 19:35Speaker 5: You know what Jerry Seinfeld said after the Knicks game?
- 19:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:41Speaker 5: About when they asked him, you know, give us a
- 19:43Speaker 5: free Palestine. And he was like, it doesn't really exist, so.
- 19:48Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, we should.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:50Speaker 2: We shall see. I will ask him. I don't think
- 19:52Speaker 2: I'm going to do that today with him, no. So
- 19:54Speaker 2: that's going to be maybe sometime next week he'll address that.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Okay, okay.
- 19:59Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I just wanted to say about the Iran thing.
- 20:03Speaker 5: I guess time will tell if it's a mistake or not, but..
- 20:08Speaker 2: I don't know. To me, time is... Time is already
- 20:10Speaker 2: telling me it's a mistake. I mean, how much more
- 20:14Speaker 2: time am I supposed to give it?
- 20:17Speaker 5: I don't think Iran was or never wants to be
- 20:21Speaker 5: a cooperative member of, like, the world economy.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Well, isn't that their choosing? They are their own country.
- 20:30Speaker 2: I mean, you know, they are, what, a country of
- 20:32Speaker 2: 93 million people. I mean, I've said this before, which
- 20:36Speaker 2: I'd say to you. It is... It is a different
- 20:40Speaker 2: world over there. It's a different culture. It's a different mentality.
- 20:44Speaker 2: They don't think like you think. And you think they
- 20:47Speaker 2: should think like you think. And they don't want to
- 20:49Speaker 2: think like you think. So what is there? It's hard
- 20:53Speaker 2: for a lot of people to understand that. It's just
- 20:55Speaker 2: a whole different mentality. I say that it's just that
- 21:00Speaker 2: that's the reality. I mean, do you really were you
- 21:02Speaker 2: staying up at night thinking Iran was a nuclear threat
- 21:05Speaker 2: to the United States? I didn't believe it then. I
- 21:08Speaker 2: don't believe it now. At all. Stand by for me.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Just stand by. I'll come back to you. Back with
- 21:13Speaker 2: him and more calls. 330-729-9977. Ron Furb from the Kingdom
- 21:18Speaker 2: of Mahoning. Back in a minute.
- 21:20Speaker 8: Let's start here. So good morning and welcome.
- 21:22Speaker 6: We are now underway.
- 21:24Speaker 2: We're following the events of the day.
- 21:26Speaker 8: What we're just now hearing about.
- 21:27Speaker 6: This is new information.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Throughout the day. Good day.
- 21:30Speaker 8: This is where it stands now.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Pick up the conversation.
- 21:33Speaker 6: We'll talk about what's happening.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Anytime.
- 21:35Speaker 8: The deal we.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Reached with Iran.
- 21:37Speaker 6: The devil's in the details.
- 21:38Speaker 8: Bringing the price of gasoline down.
- 21:40Speaker 6: Maintain the Fed funds rate.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Tying Pfizer to the save app.
- 21:43Speaker 1: NATO has been a paper tiger for the very latest.
- 21:46Speaker 2: We'll see how that all plays out.

- 21:54Speaker 9: A Youngstown man is facing charges in connection to a
- 21:56Speaker 9: shooting last weekend that led to a rollover crash. 35-year-old
- 22:00Speaker 9: Eugene Tompkins is being charged with multiple counts, including attempted
- 22:04Speaker 9: murder and felonious assault. Tompkins has not yet been arrested,
- 22:08Speaker 9: and Boardman police are asking anyone with information as to
- 22:11Speaker 9: his whereabouts to reach out. A hearing over two short-term
- 22:15Speaker 9: rental homes in Butler County is being continued to August 11th.
- 22:19Speaker 9: The Liberty Township Board of Trustees is suing the property
- 22:22Speaker 9: owners after shots were fired at one of the homes
- 22:24Speaker 9: during a May after-prom party. Cincinnati is asking drivers for
- 22:29Speaker 9: patience as road repaving projects continue across the city. Crews
- 22:33Speaker 9: are rebuilding a half-mile stretch of Warsaw Avenue in East

- 22:57Speaker 1: Now, Ron Verb on News Radio 570 WKBN. All right,
- 23:02Speaker 1: let me go back to this guy. I mean, listen,
- 23:05Speaker 1: I don't make any apologies for it. I voted for Trump.
- 23:08Speaker 1: I'd vote for him again. There's no way I'd vote
- 23:10Speaker 1: for Biden or Harris or Gavin Newsom or anything along
- 23:13Speaker 1: those lines. But the reality is this is a mess,
- 23:17Speaker 1: and this mess rests right at his feet.
- 23:19Speaker 2: He's the commander-in-chief. He made this decision, and I'm convinced.
- 23:25Speaker 2: that he reversed his own position. He thought it would
- 23:28Speaker 2: be over much sooner. I don't think he understood the situation,
- 23:32Speaker 2: and I don't think many people don't understand it because
- 23:36Speaker 2: they think everyone over there thinks like we think or
- 23:38Speaker 2: should think like we think, and they don't.
- 23:42Speaker 5: Yeah, just answering to what you said about being afraid
- 23:47Speaker 5: of getting nuked by Iran. No, I would have never
- 23:50Speaker 5: said that, but I did say, think they are a
- 23:53Speaker 5: danger to global stability. They always have been.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Well, let's see if that happens. You don't think with
- 24:00Speaker 2: our spy agencies and Israel that we don't know exactly
- 24:05Speaker 2: what they're doing and what's going on? I mean, sometimes
- 24:08Speaker 2: I think that these... I don't want to say an overreaction,
- 24:12Speaker 2: but I just wonder about all of that, including when
- 24:17Speaker 2: our own intelligence disagreed with what Israel was saying. So,
- 24:21Speaker 2: and Israel, I think, had an agenda on this, or
- 24:23Speaker 2: Netanyahu had an agenda on this to get us involved
- 24:26Speaker 2: in this mess. I mean, how long is this supposed
- 24:30Speaker 2: to go on? The Ukraine's been five years now that
- 24:34Speaker 2: that mess has been going on. Should this go on
- 24:36Speaker 2: five years? I mean, it's... Tell me what the end
- 24:41Speaker 2: is here. Well, we'll bomb some more. Okay. What's the
- 24:46Speaker 2: definition of insanity? Doing the same thing again and expecting
- 24:49Speaker 2: different results. Well, we'll bomb some more. Only this time
- 24:52Speaker 2: we're going to bomb people's water. And this time we're
- 24:55Speaker 2: going to bomb bridges. And we're going to do that
- 24:58Speaker 2: kind of stuff to really put the screws to Joe
- 25:01Speaker 2: Bag of Donuts over there. Well, is that going to?
- 25:05Speaker 2: We shall see what the outcome of that is. That
- 25:08Speaker 2: might just unite the country more than you've ever seen.
- 25:13Speaker 5: Yeah, I hear what you're saying. I mean, the only
- 25:16Speaker 5: last thing I'd say is, and I've said this before,
- 25:19Speaker 5: is that I hope we don't overreach with any manned
- 25:21Speaker 5: missions because if they capture one of our pilots, everything's
- 25:25Speaker 5: going to change. If they, like that colonel that went
- 25:27Speaker 5: down and we got him out of there, you know,
- 25:30Speaker 5: because they would... That regime would definitely give up 10,000
- 25:33Speaker 5: of their guys for one of ours.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Well, I think you'd have to ask a simple question.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Look at how far Iran is from the United States
- 25:41Speaker 2: of America. So just from a strategy standpoint, as George
- 25:46Speaker 2: Bush used to say, you better take that into consideration.
- 25:49Speaker 2: It's a long way to get men's supplies and materials
- 25:53Speaker 2: to that location. It's just... It's not a good thing. And,
- 26:02Speaker 2: I mean, what are we suffering? I mean, I was
- 26:05Speaker 2: just looking at it last night, the Strategic Oil Reserve,
- 26:08Speaker 2: and it's way down. I mean, we are draining our
- 26:10Speaker 2: Strategic Oil Reserves to keep gasoline prices at, what, $ 4
- 26:14Speaker 2: a gallon or what have you, and it's reaching a low.
- 26:18Speaker 2: So what do you do once you drained enough of
- 26:21Speaker 2: that or once you say we can't drain it anymore?
- 26:23Speaker 2: Now what do you do? Now, in these other countries
- 26:27Speaker 2: that have done the same thing. Now, what do you
- 26:29Speaker 2: do when you've drained your reserve supply, if you will,
- 26:32Speaker 2: of oil? Well, I suspect. that oil prices will go
- 26:37Speaker 2: up and gasoline prices will go up and diesel prices
- 26:41Speaker 2: will go up, and that means airline tickets will cost more,
- 26:44Speaker 2: shipping will cost more, goods on any truck, any type
- 26:48Speaker 2: of goods you need, plastics will cost more, asphalt, shingles,
- 26:53Speaker 2: so many things that are oil-based. So that would just
- 26:56Speaker 2: make inflation even worse than it is and your savings
- 27:00Speaker 2: worth even less. So, is that good for anybody? I
- 27:07Speaker 2: don't think so.
- 27:07Speaker 5: No, I'm hoping it just comes to an acceptable end,
- 27:11Speaker 5: and I hope to God that one of our Air
- 27:13Speaker 5: Force colonels or something doesn't get captured, because then all
- 27:16Speaker 5: hell will break loose, I would predict. But thank you
- 27:20Speaker 5: for taking my call.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate your call. NewsRadio 570. I don't
- 27:24Speaker 2: fall into that category. I realize that there are people
- 27:27Speaker 2: that are just cheerleaders saying that there's nothing Trump can
- 27:29Speaker 2: do that they don't. Well, listen, that's not me. And
- 27:39Speaker 2: I just think that this is an absolute mess. And
- 27:45Speaker 2: an absolute mess that is just destroying our economy and
- 27:52Speaker 2: a lot of our future if this continues. And I
- 27:57Speaker 2: don't think there's a good way out at all. We
- 28:03Speaker 2: shall see. You're on the air.
- 28:05Speaker 7: Ron, I always thought the Zionist people were..
- 28:08Speaker 2: No, I don't want to talk about that. Where have
- 28:10Speaker 2: you been? I've actually had emails from listeners.
- 28:14Speaker 4: This is.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Unbelievable to me. I mean, it's absolutely unbelievable to me, folks.
- 28:21Speaker 2: You're not going to believe this.
- 28:22Speaker 7: Were they women?
- 28:25Speaker 2: They were... I think they were mainly women.
- 28:28Speaker 4: I know.
- 28:29Speaker 7: I'm attracted to women.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Women are fascinated by..
- 28:33Speaker 7: I'm like a lightning rod to women.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Yes, but they were saying..
- 28:36Speaker 7: Walk in my shoes. Okay, go ahead.
- 28:37Speaker 2: So people were saying, we haven't heard Denny in a
- 28:40Speaker 2: long time. What happened to Denny? Is Denny dead? All
- 28:44Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. No, I had a guy call
- 28:46Speaker 2: me and said, well, Denny said he was going off
- 28:48Speaker 2: his medication. Did he go off his medication? Is he dead?
- 28:51Speaker 2: We hadn't heard from you so long. They expected me. Well,
- 28:56Speaker 2: he's partly.
- 28:57Speaker 7: Correct because I quit drinking Keystone. So I think it
- 29:02Speaker 7: might have something to do with my gout. But, you know,
- 29:05Speaker 7: I've tried to call a couple times, but my patience
- 29:11Speaker 7: is dwindling in my older age. I don't need to
- 29:16Speaker 7: be on your show. But when you said you requested
- 29:20Speaker 7: that I call today, I just, oh, my God. I
- 29:24Speaker 7: better call.
- 29:24Speaker 2: Well, because there's people worried about you. For the life
- 29:28Speaker 2: of me, I can't understand it myself, but they're all saying,
- 29:32Speaker 2: did anything happen to Denny? So I actually had that
- 29:35Speaker 2: guy that called me and said, when Denny called, he
- 29:37Speaker 2: said he was going off his medications. Did you say that?
- 29:42Speaker 7: No, I got off my Keystone Life.
- 29:44Speaker 2: All right, because I thought when that guy was saying it,
- 29:47Speaker 2: he was mistaking you for, remember the other guy from
- 29:52Speaker 2: up there when we were on remote? Yeah, Dennis.
- 29:55Speaker 7: His name was Dennis.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Yeah, remember? And he has a form of cancer. I know.
- 30:00Speaker 7: I feel sorry for the guy. I like that guy.
- 30:03Speaker 7: We sat and talked. Yeah, on the air, we talked.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:07Speaker 7: I know who you mean.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Right. So he said he was going off of his
- 30:12Speaker 2: medication and people mistook him for you going off your medication.
- 30:18Speaker 2: And so then people thought they hadn't heard from you.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Did you die? No. They wanted me to go this
- 30:25Speaker 2: weekend and knock on every door in Rock Creek saying,
- 30:28Speaker 2: do you know Denny from Rock Creek? Is he alive
- 30:31Speaker 2: and well?
- 30:32Speaker 7: Well, that'll only take a couple hours, if that.
- 30:36Speaker 2: So it's amazing how many people were concerned about you.
- 30:39Speaker 7: You know, I love Rock Creek. I love the rural
- 30:42Speaker 7: area setting. I mean, you can't get stuff done very quick.
- 30:45Speaker 7: Nothing moves very fast here in Rock Creek, trust me.
- 30:49Speaker 7: But I love a small town. It's kind of like
- 30:52Speaker 7: Mayberry without the barber and party.
- 30:58Speaker 2: How old are you? How old are you?
- 31:00Speaker 7: Oh, that's the other thing. Yeah, I'm 72. I'm fine
- 31:03Speaker 7: so far, but you never know. I think about it
- 31:08Speaker 7: every day. Okay.
- 31:10Speaker 2: So you're 72, and describe a typical day in the
- 31:16Speaker 2: life of Denny from Rock Creek. What time did you
- 31:20Speaker 2: wake up today?
- 31:22Speaker 7: I usually wake up about 4 or 4.30 because I
- 31:25Speaker 7: have to go and pee.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Oh, great.
- 31:28Speaker 7: Why go back to bed? And then sometimes I do,
- 31:31Speaker 7: if I didn't get enough Zen sleep through the night,
- 31:35Speaker 7: like these hot nights, I didn't get a lot of
- 31:38Speaker 7: Zen sleep because I don't have air conditioning. I know.
- 31:42Speaker 9: Why?
- 31:43Speaker 2: What is wrong with you?
- 31:45Speaker 7: Because I'm a stubborn Finn like my dad.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Well, I don't understand at 72 why you don't have
- 31:53Speaker 2: air conditioning and it's heat and humidity. That's your first
- 31:55Speaker 2: problem right there. So then when you get up at 430,
- 31:59Speaker 2: do you even leave the house on a day like today?
- 32:02Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I got those Democrats up there at McDonald's.
- 32:07Speaker 7: I go up and at least I can talk to them.
- 32:11Speaker 2: So wait a minute. I want to picture this. So
- 32:14Speaker 2: then you leave the House. You're one of those old people.
- 32:18Speaker 2: You always got these old people. What is there about
- 32:22Speaker 2: old people? They always go out in the morning and
- 32:25Speaker 2: they got to go meet people. They either go to
- 32:28Speaker 2: Chick-fil-A or they go to McDonald's. Or they go to Dunkin' Donuts.
- 32:32Speaker 2: It's always, oh, there's all these old people. They all
- 32:35Speaker 2: gather for coffee and commiserate. Every damn day they sit
- 32:40Speaker 2: there just doing that. And I'm thinking, what the hell
- 32:43Speaker 2: is this? Well, it all.
- 32:45Speaker 7: Started with COVID. When COVID hit, they shut down the
- 32:49Speaker 7: dining in the McDonald's. So the guys would sit out
- 32:52Speaker 7: in their lawn chairs in the parking lot there. And
- 32:54Speaker 7: I said, oh, this is cool. We can greet the
- 32:56Speaker 7: out-of-state people that come in off of Interstate 90. And
- 33:00Speaker 7: I tell you, there's a lot of smart people that
- 33:03Speaker 7: drive through Asheville County, but they never stay. But you
- 33:07Speaker 7: get a chance to talk to them.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Now, how many, forget this, I don't care, how many
- 33:10Speaker 2: old people are gathering at your morning social?
- 33:14Speaker 7: Oh, we had a big circle Monday. There was like
- 33:19Speaker 7: eight or nine lawn chairs. We had to widen the circle.
- 33:22Speaker 2: So you're sitting outside?
- 33:24Speaker 7: We put a cone in the handicapped parking space right
- 33:30Speaker 7: underneath that beautiful shade tree because we needed shade. So
- 33:35Speaker 7: we've taken over the handicapped park.
- 33:38Speaker 2: I think that might be illegal. But needless to say,
- 33:40Speaker 2: so there's eight or nine of you sitting at this
- 33:42Speaker 2: McDonald's in lawn chairs? Yeah.
- 33:45Speaker 7: I know. It's so much fun when you get out-of-towners
- 33:48Speaker 7: come in, and they took a picture of us the
- 33:51Speaker 7: other day. Can we take a picture of you?
- 33:53Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
- 33:54Speaker 7: They take a picture.
- 33:55Speaker 2: And what are you guys talking about?
- 33:58Speaker 7: Anything and everything except Donald Trump. I can't bring up
- 34:02Speaker 7: Donald Trump.
- 34:04Speaker 2: So there's rules about you. Like when you show up,
- 34:07Speaker 2: are they happy, or do they look like, oh, God,
- 34:09Speaker 2: here's Denny?
- 34:10Speaker 7: Well, I don't know. Well, things get fired up when
- 34:14Speaker 7: I come, I guess. I don't know if it's good
- 34:16Speaker 7: or bad.
- 34:20Speaker 2: It's incredible. What is up with this? This goes on
- 34:24Speaker 2: all over the country. I mean, I don't– listen, I'm
- 34:27Speaker 2: no spring chicken, but I can assure you of one thing.
- 34:30Speaker 2: I can assure you of one thing. You will never
- 34:33Speaker 2: see me get up in the morning to go sit
- 34:36Speaker 2: with a– now, I do admit this. I have lunch
- 34:39Speaker 2: every Saturday with the same group of folks that I've
- 34:42Speaker 2: had for years. But that was when we were younger
- 34:45Speaker 2: and as we've all aged. I always have lunch with
- 34:50Speaker 2: the same group. And it's a small group of us
- 34:54Speaker 2: that have been friends for quite some time. So needless
- 34:57Speaker 2: to say, I can't ever imagine going to a McDonald's
- 35:02Speaker 2: at six or seven in the morning, sitting in a
- 35:04Speaker 2: lawn chair with a bunch of old people talking about nothing.
- 35:09Speaker 7: It's got to be near an interstate that people come
- 35:12Speaker 7: from out of town.
- 35:13Speaker 2: We talk to a retired... You can go to McDonald's
- 35:18Speaker 2: around here. You can go to the Chick-fil-A around here.
- 35:21Speaker 2: I see these old guys. Those people are boring.
- 35:24Speaker 7: We talk to an NFL retired player from the... The
- 35:28Speaker 7: New England Patriots. He's got rings on his finger.
- 35:32Speaker 2: I don't care.
- 35:32Speaker 7: We talked the other day. He's a 75-year-old athlete at
- 35:37Speaker 7: the Spire this few days. He's got a hotel from Massachusetts.
- 35:42Speaker 4: All right.
- 35:43Speaker 7: So much interesting people. I love that. But what I
- 35:47Speaker 7: wanted to call about was you guys don't understand.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Jesus, give me the strength.
- 35:55Speaker 7: Iran's guard is. The IRGC is a mafia. All they
- 36:02Speaker 7: care about is power and money.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Like you.
- 36:06Speaker 7: And controlling people.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Isn't that what you cared about all your life?
- 36:10Speaker 7: They want to kill the Israels. They want to kill
- 36:12Speaker 7: the Americans. And they're fighting for their lives right now.
- 36:17Speaker 7: Donald Trump is right on with this. He's got them
- 36:20Speaker 7: right where he wants them. And he's got to have patience.
- 36:24Speaker 7: He's got to have patience. Because we don't want to
- 36:27Speaker 7: go in there and just wipe out the whole country
- 36:29Speaker 7: with boots on the ground. We could do this financially
- 36:34Speaker 7: and strike their facilities, the military that control the strait,
- 36:43Speaker 7: because they want to control that strait because that gives
- 36:46Speaker 7: them money and power. They like us all the time.
- 36:51Speaker 7: You've got to follow Donald Trump. You've got to watch
- 36:53Speaker 7: Fox News and Fox News.
- 36:54Speaker 2: See, here's the thing. I'm trying to figure this out.
- 36:57Speaker 2: The more you talk, some of our listeners missed you,
- 37:01Speaker 2: and I'm trying to think, gee, I wondered if I
- 37:02Speaker 2: really missed you, the more you go on.
- 37:05Speaker 7: But the Zionists, yeah, I wonder what the Zionists meant.
- 37:09Speaker 7: But I thought it meant smart people. that want to
- 37:12Speaker 7: put effort to work hard to create wealth for themselves.
- 37:16Speaker 2: That's capitalism. I bet you get on the other seven guys'
- 37:23Speaker 2: nerves that are at McDonald's. Do they ever just put
- 37:26Speaker 2: their head in their hands and say, I got to go?
- 37:28Speaker 2: Do you buy coffee or support McDonald's in any way
- 37:31Speaker 2: while you're there?
- 37:32Speaker 7: No, I don't drink coffee after I leave the house.
- 37:37Speaker 2: I drink my own coffee.
- 37:38Speaker 3: I've got to make my own coffee with the Rock
- 37:41Speaker 3: Creek water.
- 37:42Speaker 2: You use their parking lot, and you don't even buy
- 37:44Speaker 2: a breakfast sandwich? You don't spend any money?
- 37:47Speaker 7: I treated them once or twice with some... Those treats
- 37:54Speaker 7: at McDonald's, I don't know. Well, Krispy Kreme had a
- 37:58Speaker 7: deal with them for a while, so I bought a
- 38:00Speaker 7: box of Krispy Kremes. I don't like them, by the way.
- 38:04Speaker 2: I mean, so you're sitting in a McDonald's parking lot
- 38:10Speaker 2: in lawn chairs. Why don't you go into the store?
- 38:13Speaker 7: Because it's so nice in the summer. And we're right
- 38:16Speaker 7: by the door where all those out-of-staters come in. So
- 38:19Speaker 7: they have to get by us to get in the door.
- 38:22Speaker 2: That's almost like a nightmare to me. That would be
- 38:25Speaker 2: an absolute nightmare.
- 38:27Speaker 7: They take pictures of us. They love us. It's an
- 38:29Speaker 7: amazing thing. You know, if you go to a McDonald's
- 38:33Speaker 7: and say, like, a boardman, there's no interstate traffic or anything.
- 38:39Speaker 7: You're going to see the same people go in and
- 38:42Speaker 7: out every day. How boring is that? We meet some
- 38:46Speaker 7: brilliant people, Republicans, that just drive right through Austinburg. They
- 38:52Speaker 7: just fly right by. But they have to stop, get
- 38:55Speaker 7: a pee and a coffee, and then they run into us.
- 39:00Speaker 2: All right. More of the life of Denny on our
- 39:03Speaker 2: next phone call. Thank you. I mean, Have a nice day.
- 39:06Speaker 7: I'm fine, people. I'm fine. So far, so far. My
- 39:10Speaker 7: gout has gone down. I think it's gout.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Well, just so you know, I mean, I had no idea.
- 39:16Speaker 7: I'm not sure.
- 39:17Speaker 2: I did send flowers to the nursing home, to the
- 39:20Speaker 2: funeral home, so hopefully somebody got to got to use them.
- 39:24Speaker 7: I think i got a story about uh i don't i.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Don't want to hear it i don't know goodbye you're
- 39:29Speaker 2: on the air hello yes.
- 39:34Speaker 8: Hey ron uh today is july 17th yes and you
- 39:40Speaker 8: are talking about trump and uh war being a mess
- 39:44Speaker 8: and i'm going to disagree i'd I think what Dennis
- 39:48Speaker 8: said kind of covered what I wanted to say. But Trump,
- 39:53Speaker 8: they're doing a little bit of the time, and they
- 39:55Speaker 8: were talking about, and this colonel was on yesterday talking
- 40:00Speaker 8: about it. He said they're strategically cutting out certain parts
- 40:04Speaker 8: in Iran. And I think we're at something... They even said.
- 40:10Speaker 2: That Iran is not going to.
- 40:12Speaker 8: Have anything to bargain with.
- 40:14Speaker 2: All right, hang on. Oh, I don't agree with that.
- 40:16Speaker 2: Stand by.
- 40:16Speaker 1: I'll come right back to you. All right, I want
- 40:24Speaker 1: to go back to this gentleman. He's saying that you
- 40:30Speaker 1: think this is going well or on track?
- 40:34Speaker 8: Well, I mean, to me it seems kind of slow,
- 40:36Speaker 8: but I understand what they're doing.
- 40:38Speaker 2: What are they doing?
- 40:39Speaker 4: You know, they.
- 40:41Speaker 8: Bombed part of Karg Island, and he said he didn't
- 40:45Speaker 8: want to hit the oil tanks, which I agree with that.
- 40:49Speaker 8: And they also talked about possible boots on the ground,
- 40:52Speaker 8: but it wasn't going to be Americans. And I think
- 40:55Speaker 8: that we need to take that Revolutionary Guard out and
- 40:59Speaker 8: let the Iranians decide what kind of government that they
- 41:02Speaker 8: want in there. But we can't not continue to allow
- 41:06Speaker 8: the terrorist group that's running Iran to continue going on,
- 41:11Speaker 8: because they're even talking about going to the UAE to
- 41:16Speaker 8: get the Houthis to come and help them. So we
- 41:19Speaker 8: need to finish this job. And, you know, I've sent
- 41:22Speaker 8: four emails to President Trump already, and I said we
- 41:25Speaker 8: need to continue and finish this job. We don't need
- 41:28Speaker 8: another North Korea or another Vietnam. We need to get
- 41:32Speaker 8: this job done. And I'm going to tell you, today
- 41:35Speaker 8: is my birthday, and I'll be 77 years old, and
- 41:38Speaker 8: I want you to remember this day because I think
- 41:41Speaker 8: we're going to finish that job in Iran.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Really? I don't see an end in sight. Now, are
- 41:48Speaker 2: you familiar that we're depleting our strategic oil reserves? Are
- 41:51Speaker 2: you familiar with that?
- 41:52Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
- 41:53Speaker 2: I know. Are you familiar with... Some of it's a
- 41:58Speaker 2: lot of hype. Oh, you think that's hype?
- 42:01Speaker 4: Some of it.
- 42:02Speaker 2: So you don't think we're depleting them? Well, do you
- 42:04Speaker 2: think that..
- 42:05Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, it's going down, but I don't think we're
- 42:08Speaker 8: to the point where we're in trouble.
- 42:14Speaker 2: Well, do you think that we're running low on munitions? Yes. So..
- 42:20Speaker 6: I.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Mean, so you just think finish... What does finish the
- 42:26Speaker 2: job mean?
- 42:28Speaker 8: To go in there and take those guys out once
- 42:30Speaker 8: and for all and stop pussyfooting around.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Uh-huh. How far is Iran from the United States?
- 42:39Speaker 8: Oh, hell, I don't know.
- 42:41Speaker 2: You think..
- 42:41Speaker 8: I know it takes a while to get there.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Yeah, so it would take a while to get anything
- 42:46Speaker 2: there at all. I mean, it's not even remotely close.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Can we agree on that? I mean, listen... You're forgetting
- 42:59Speaker 2: this is another country of 93 million people, and you're
- 43:04Speaker 2: thinking that they all think like you? They do not.
- 43:07Speaker 2: They do not think like you at all.
- 43:12Speaker 8: But the Iranians do not want the Ayatollahs.
- 43:14Speaker 2: How do you know that? Did you see all the
- 43:16Speaker 2: people that showed up? How do you know that? What
- 43:19Speaker 2: makes you say that?
- 43:21Speaker 8: Because it's been reported that people that have been in
- 43:24Speaker 8: there have reported that.
- 43:26Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 43:27Speaker 8: Like I said, they need to be able to pick
- 43:28Speaker 8: their own. You know, they had the Shaw on power.
- 43:32Speaker 2: It looked to me like they're out there.
- 43:34Speaker 6: He was strict.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Well, I think that's an assumption on your part.
- 43:37Speaker 8: Like the Aitola.
- 43:38Speaker 2: All right. I got to pause. I mean, I think
- 43:40Speaker 2: those are all assumptions on your part on what you
- 43:43Speaker 2: think they want or don't want. It's a whole different culture.
- 43:46Speaker 2: We'll be right back. When power goes out.
