  Speaker 1: News Radio 570, Dodie Covey, and Iran Ferb. So you say, well,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: they're watching the same news that you're watching in Iran.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Obviously. I mean, if they're smart, they would. And I'm
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: sure they do. And it's all negative about the war.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And basically, if it goes to Congress, it's going to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: get shut down. So just hang on a little while
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: longer and don't make a deal with Trump. Mm-hmm.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: What do you think they should do?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Who?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Iran?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Or us?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The whole situation.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We need to get it approved to be there as
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: long as it takes. And then Iran is going to say, yeah,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: we ain't got the fortitude for this because we can't
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: hold out much longer. But they can hold out short term.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: How do you know that to be true? I would
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: just ask you. I mean, is that an assumption on
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: your part? Assumption?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, listening to your intelligent callers.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Because, you know, I would think they would have buckled sooner.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Remember when they dropped the bunker buster, that bomb? And
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that was supposedly... Well, yes. That took care of it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Right from the start of this, the media has been
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: crying about this. This can only last 60 days and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: they need congressional approval.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But those are the rules. I mean, that's not, I mean, listen,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Biden or Trump. I mean,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you're not, you truly aren't a king or a dictator
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that you can do this stuff without, at that point, without.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I'm worried that he's not going to get the backing
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to continue on. And then we got to walk away
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: spending all that money for nothing. And Iran goes right
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: back to business as usual. We can't let them do that.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: At some point, you're going to leave though, right? Let
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: me counter your argument a little bit and get your
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: reaction to things. So is it possible that we don't
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: understand Iran's culture? So often previously, I think we could
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: say as a country, we misread the Middle East tremendously.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And we have a proven track record that we didn't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: understand the Middle East. And the so-called regime changes have
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: all been dismal failures. And they thought maybe this time
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it would be different and it would be quick. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: they would throw the towel in. And they didn't. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: if I said to you, I think they're surprised they
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: didn't throw the towel in as quick as they did.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm surprised they haven't thrown a towel in at
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: this point in time, me personally speaking. I'm surprised they
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: haven't thrown a towel in yet. So should I conclude
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they got some degree of resolve to say they haven't
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: done it with all this bombing, they haven't done it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with the blockade, they haven't done it with the finances
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of it, and I don't know that they're sitting around
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: watching Fox News. Maybe it's just a culture we don't understand.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's a culture that says, United States of America,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you're not going to tell us whether or not we
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: can have a nuclear weapon. We're our own country, 93
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: million people. United States, we can inflict a lot of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: financial harm on you. Well, they've said that publicly. If
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you want to inflict it on us, you just wait
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and see. I mean, Iran's basically saying, we got some
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: cards to play here, too.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: And..
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Are they playing those? I would like to think that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Trump's got him by the manhood. I would like to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: think he's got a tight hold on him.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think he does, but they are looking at it thinking,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: if we can just hold on a little bit longer,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: this is going to be over and he's going to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: have to quit.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Well, that might be true.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Because there's no support here in the United States, according
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to the news.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And I don't think there is.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: According to the Democrats.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think, according to the news, I don't think
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: there is a lot of support for it in the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: United States. I mean, I genuinely do not think a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: lot of people are supporting this at all.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And as far as leaving, our boats can float
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: around anywhere in the oceans. Why not leave a few
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of them there to just maintain the straight?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: How long?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It ain't going to cost anything if they're just floating around.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It costs the same to burn whatever they burn to
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: float them boats around in the middle of the Atlantic
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: as it would to float around in the Persian Gulf
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and the Strait of Hormuz.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Just have a presence.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It don't cost anything more. As long as we ain't
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: shooting missiles.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So you say the U.S. has got to..
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We're going to float somewhere.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So you think the biggest enemy are the Democrats and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the timeline?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: All right. How long do you think the American people
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: will tolerate high gas prices?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: We don't have a choice.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think you have a choice. Unfortunately, sometimes, don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: ever forget when they said it's the economy, stupid. That's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: very true. People, do you think that there could be
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a choice that you would see in November?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Probably. And if the Democrats get back in charge, we'll
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: be apologizing to Iran and giving them reparations for Trump's
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: illegal war.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Nothing would surprise me. Nothing would surprise me. I'm in
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: total agreement with you there. I would never vote ever
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: for a Democrat. I'd never vote for Sherrod Brown. I'd
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: never vote for the Democrats at all. But unfortunately, sometimes
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: people do that, and I don't understand it because I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: don't think they would make it better. They would just
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: make it a lot worse. I would agree with that.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you. Appreciate your comments. I thought he
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: made a good point. You're on the air.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Here's my only thing. I don't know what I don't know,
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: but I was told in June that all the nuclear bombs, missiles,
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: everything was gone. And now, February, we've got to go back.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: So was I lied to then when they were gone
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: and they weren't really gone? Or now they say there's
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: nuclear dust. How long does it take to make a
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: bomb that's going to hit Israel or the U.S. with
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: nuclear dust? Now, Ron Verb, if you were Donald Trump
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: behind the Resolute Desk and you were presented all of this, Mr. Trump...
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: We have to go into Iran right now.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Well, wait a second.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Didn't we take care of everything? Yes, it's all dust.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Well, wait a second.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Why are we going to Iran if it's dust? How
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: long does it take to make a nuclear missile from dust?
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: So that's my only thing.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: I just wish we knew more.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: On top of that, I could really sit here and
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: argue with you why we should be there, and I
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: could argue with you why we shouldn't be there. The
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: one thing I'll push back on... Even what you were
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: talking to Rich about would be their culture. We have
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: a lot of people in this country who have a
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: different culture than what you would call American norms or
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: American standards. What are we supposed to do? Just let
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: them have these weapons and cause havoc on the community
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: and just not do anything about it because we didn't
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: take care of it in 60 days and let them
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: just keep threatening us? That goes on forever. I'm not
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: saying we should be in Iran forever. But what happens
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: if Congress says we can't be there and we leave tomorrow?
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Does everything just go back to business as usual? Does
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: China just keep going back and getting oil from Iran?
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Does the rest of the Middle East?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you that question. Based on our
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: track record, what do you see?
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Well, based on our track record, the last two months
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: or the last 30 years?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: No, our track record... Yeah, I mean, I don't know
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: if you want to go back 30 years, but in
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the Middle East, I suspect you could go back to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Vietnam as well because we simply left there, too.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Here's my thing on this, too. We went in there,
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: you know, on day one and bombed everything and Israel
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: went in. Why isn't Israel, where's their navy? Why aren't
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: they going through first clear and everything? Because just like
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: you said, too, I never lost a minute of sleep
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: at night wondering if Iran was going to hit us
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: with a nuclear warhead. But at the same time, Trump
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: is a whole different breed. He never wants to look bad.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: If he doesn't look bad, then America does good. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: at the end of the day, I'm sure in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: back of his mind, he thought, you know, if I
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: go to Iran now, there's still a chance, even if
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: he thinks everything he does is 100% right, unavoidable chance
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: of failure. In the back of his mind, and even
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: everybody in the military had to say, this is.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: What could happen.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: They present, even if the president makes these decisions, They
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: present these things to him. He has to know that
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: gas prices go up. He said it himself. He said
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: he's surprised gas is up more. The stock market's not
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: down more. The thing I don't like is I just
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: want to know why we're there, for what reason concrete.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: Because I just don't like hearing that. That's the thing
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: that frustrates me the most is this nuclear dust thing.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: What are we going in to clear up the nuclear dust?
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Are we going to airlift excavators and dig it all
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: up and put a caution tape around it until we
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: get it all out?
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: To what point?
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: And I'm just saying, too, at the same time, now
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: we're there, what are we supposed to do, just stop now?
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Where's the rest of the Middle East? What are they doing?
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: You know, the UAE, that's their whole entire economy. Saudi Arabia,
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: that's their economy. They're still pumping out some oil, but
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: not as much. That's why they left OPEC. I don't
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: understand what the endgame is, and I'm not going to
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: pretend to know it, because I don't know what I
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: don't know. This can change next week, for all we know.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: I have no clue. But when the war games were
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: going on with how we would invade Iran or get
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: their nuclear weapons, I'm sure at some point, again, it
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: was the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. I think
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: that the drone factor has completely changed all of war.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: You can look at what Russia and Ukraine, drones are
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: just the new standard of war now. And when you
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: can send a drone that's $ 30, 000 from Iran that's hidden
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: off at the Strait of Hormuz and you hit a U.S.
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: Navy ship and a bunch of armed service members die, yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: that's not going to be good. I don't know what
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: the end game is, but if it ends tomorrow, are
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: we just going to go right back to where we were?
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: I don't understand why we didn't just bomb them in June.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: We said it was gone.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: It's dust.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: If you ever start rebuilding it again, we'll do the
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: same thing again. I mean, look what we did.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So you're talking with the bunker buster. You thought it was,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: we dropped it. That was supposedly, that accomplished everything we needed.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Everything's destroyed. And you're saying, so what happened?
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Why didn't you close down the Strait of Hormuz after
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: the bunker buster?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: No.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: Why didn't they do it then?
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: And are they going to keep, you know, quote-unquote, charging
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: and just the threat of anything?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Well, some of the critics say, look, he's now created
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a monster because they didn't, they hadn't done that. But
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: now they're saying, well, wait a minute. Now they realize
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: what another avenue that they have available to them.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: I keep hearing these 12 days, 22 days until their oil,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: they have no more storage, they can't pump, and then
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: the water infiltrates their oil reserves and they can't do
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: anything for years. If that's legitimate... Then Iran really does
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: have to make a decision. Do they want to never
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: be able to pump oil? And look, I mean, I
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: guess China and Russia might be sending them some supplies.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: But have we heard anything out of their allies? Russia
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: and China? Russia's, you know, without saying, in Ukraine. And
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: China really just wants to sell cheap stuff all over
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: the world. I don't think they want to get involved
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: in anything. Because they have 50-year, 100-year plans. But Iran
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: has no friends. That's what I don't understand, even with
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: the rest of the Middle East.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Where are they?
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: And I'm telling you, I keep going back to Israel.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: We went in with them on day one, and I
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: haven't heard anything since then. I'm sure stuff is going on. Again,
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: I don't know what I don't know. But they were
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: going to get a nuclear bomb to hit it at
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: Israel first. I think Israel should be going in and
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: taking care of this with their navy.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Open that up.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: A lot of it just makes no sense to me.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: I just wish I had a clear, concise reason.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about how long you think Americans
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: will tolerate.
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: This?
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: If you keep looking back at interest rates, and I've
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: said this a few times, that 10-year Treasury rate right
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: now is at 4.45%. Anytime it gets just below 4.5%,
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: something happens. When Liberation Day happened in April of last year,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: the market tanked and interest rates went through the roof.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: Right when it hit 4.5%, that's when they backed off
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: the tariffs. We did this ceasefire. It was right when
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: interest rates were right at 4.5%. Something probably is going
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: to come off the table, push the goalposts further down.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know, but Trump is losing. He's going to
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: start losing credibility when you hit the nail on the head. Oh,
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: we have a deal. We don't have a deal. We
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: have a deal. We don't have a deal. At this point,
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: this far in, you tell these people at this point,
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know, whoever's in charge, either you make a
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: deal and you have until this time, and then we're
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: just going to do to you what we did to
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: everybody else. I don't know if there's just another hundred
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: people in line to take up the next position, or
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: maybe they really have no clue. It would be nice
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: if Trump came and did an address to the nation
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: at 9 o'clock at night and just laid out a clear, concise,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: three-minute speech, turned around and walked away. That's really what
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: I would like, because I just have no clue what's
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: going on. And like I said, I could speculate in
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: one direction why we should be there and why we
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: should keep doing this and why we never should have
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: gone at the same time.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: It's a cluster. It's a quagmire.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know what you want to call it. We
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: could be having this conversation next week and say, oh,
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: my gosh, it actually worked.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: They did this.
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: They did that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: We're doing this. All of this has opened back up.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: But it's not like gas prices are going to come
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: straight down because you've got futures markets. Oil is priced 30-day, 60-day,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: 90-day down the road. I'm not really sure why gas
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: was at $ 4.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: 85, $ 0.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: 99, whatever you want to call it, when oil was
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: $ 100 a barrel. I was seeing reports that that never
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: should have been that high, even.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: At $ 100 a barrel.
• 14:40

  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. All right, thank you. Believe it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: or not, I think that was well said. I think
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there taking in everything you had to say.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I don't know. But you do
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: lose credibility when all last week, well, Iran wants to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: make a deal. They're in talks. They want to make
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a deal. Well, if they want to make a deal,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: why isn't there a deal? If they want to make
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a deal, why are we talking about doing more bombing?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I thought we had them right where we needed them.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It's like there's so many mixed signals here. And then
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you see a huge down markets today. And then you
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: see oil prices, price of oil going up. And that's
• 15:29

  Speaker 1: mega dealerships, got to have a gazillion locations. and the

  Speaker 2: Are you a believer in the Cleveland Cavaliers?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am. Yes, I am. You've been talking about
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the Cavaliers. I've been ignoring you. I've been saying I'm
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: focused on the Guardians. I almost feel as though I
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: should publicly apologize to Dick from Dayton because you've been
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Cavs all the way. And look, how happy were you yesterday?
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'd never seen that place that crazy.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, the people were just..
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: I put it, you know, about the second half, I
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: was watching the news and stuff, but I watched it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: They just looked remarkable, didn't they? They just kept going on,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Now, the big trip.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I say the..
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: Do good.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: They'll do good on this trip.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I'm convinced.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: You're convinced?
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: Bring it home, buddy.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I thought of yesterday when the Cavs won? What?
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Dick from Dayton.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: Oh, good.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Boy, Dick from Dayton's got to be happy. Although, you know,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: basketball playoffs go on forever, don't they? Good God.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Yes, they go forever.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the problem. It's like I mean, it's like, jeez, Luis. Yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they go on forever. But the Cavs, yes. The Cavs victorious.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Now on to the next one. Now on to the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: next one. And Dick from Dayton, you have been correct
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: on your focus on that. I'm just into baseball and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the Guardians. You understand.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing pretty good, aren't they?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, they are.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: They lost last night, though, didn't they?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Yes. All right, Tiger.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, bye-bye.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. You're on the air.
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: What a pleasure following Dick from Dayton, two-time Caller of
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: the Year on your overnight sports program on 1390.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: And I.
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: Did see that thing of Dick from Dayton at that
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: celebration they had in Cincinnati.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: You know, Ron, getting on the serious part of the show,
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: do you remember, you were too young, but for your...
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: more astute listeners out there, remember when Robert McNamara left being...
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: Secretary of Defense and went to take over the World Bank,
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: and it was a guy named Clark Clifford that took
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: his job. Right in the late 60s, this happened. And
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: after that, all the generals, the chiefs of staff, the
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: joint chiefs and everything, had Mr. Clifford come in with
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: his staff, and they were showing him all these elaborate
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: bombing plans of North Vietnam, and we're going to do this,
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: and we're going to bomb the dams, and this and that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: And he said, gentlemen, gentlemen, please, I want to see
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: the plans. And he goes, the plans? Sir, we're showing
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: you the bombing plans, the latest bombing plans. He goes, no,
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: I want to see the plans of.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: Winning the war.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: And the general stepped back, the admiral stepped back and said, sir,
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: we have no.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Plan on winning the war.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: I think, as much as I believe in Trump, I
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: think he's going to be doing..
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Hold that thought. News Radio 570, WKVN. All right. Where
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: was I? Hang on a minute. Okay, you were talking
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: about Vietnam.
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: And Mr. Clifford asked all the Joint Chiefs of Staff
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: and everything, he said, where's the plan to win the war?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I think Mr.
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: Trump right now doesn't have a plan to win this.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: If he does, he's keeping it close to his vest.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: But I do think, you know, we can't go on
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: with this hit and miss theory. Either we've got to
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: go in and get this stuff done. Remember when the
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: Gulf War started, Colin Powell got up in front of
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: everybody and said, we're going to cut off the head
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: of the snake and we're going to kill the regime.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: And that's what they did. They bombed the heck out
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: of the Iraqi forces. Then they went in and they
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: were surrendering to drones or surrendering to the CNN reporters
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: because they were getting bombastic with all of our might
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: that we were putting down on the Iraqis. How long
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: did that war last?
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Five, six months?
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: It was over?
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: I think right now, Mr. Trump got to have a
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: plan to go in and get all this stuff. Like
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: your one caller said, get this stuff up, get somebody
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: in there. Like you said, you're not going to be
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: dropping bulldozers by air and stuff like that there. They
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: got to go out and make sure the stuff that
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: they had before is destroyed.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Your comments, Ron.
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I think that they miscalculated. I think
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: they had a plan and thought this would be over
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: very quickly. And I think they miscalculated totally and completely.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And I think they continue to try to reboot or
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: reconfigure to a certain extent and try to figure out–
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: where to go next. I mean, do I think the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: military's done an excellent job? Do I think that they
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: got them by the gonads? I absolutely do. Do I
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: think it can be a waiting game to bring them
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: to their knees? Potentially. I mean, possibly. But do I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: understand their culture or their reserve? No, I do not.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Because they might be very much saying that they... I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: don't know what their thoughts are. They might be saying,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: we hate you. You're not going to tell us that
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: we can't. You're not going to tell us Israel could
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: have a nuclear weapon, but we can't. You're not. You're
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: sooner or later you're going to have to leave. This
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: is our home. It's as we saw in Afghanistan, as
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: you saw in Vietnam. This is where we live and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: we're here to stay. And you got to go at
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: some point. So we'll wait you out whenever that is.
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: You know, they might be looking to the philosophy of
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: Ho Chi Minh.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: Back in the day, after the Tet Offensive, we killed
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: over 100,000 of them, Ronnie. 100,000 during the Tet Offensive.
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: And they waited two, three years. They built up their forces.
• 24:01
  Speaker 11: And they came right back down the Ho Chi Minh.
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: Trail that we bombed. day in, day out, night and day,
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: forever and ever. And they still got the stuff down
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: that trail and everything like that. And the other thing, too,
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: is that they were ready to commit another 100,000 men
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: to get their just reserve and retaking, you know, reuniting
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: the North and the South Vietnam. And who can forget,
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: you were just a little child at the time, that
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: tank going, through the presidential palace down there in Saigon,
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: and knocking that gate down, and running up there and
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: running down the flag of the South Lebanese and putting
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: up that flag of the North Lebanese, and their waiting
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: game waited out, what, the longest war in our history,
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: 10 years at that time?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yes, 100%. I mean, on a serious question,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm on a serious question, do you ever sit
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: back and say, When you look at it, what did
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: all those people die for? Because ultimately we ended up leaving.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, because these were many people that you personally knew.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: What did they die for? And likewise in Afghanistan, when
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you see the horrific commercials on television, well, those young
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: men that died or are injured that you see permanently injured,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: what for? We left and gave it back to them.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: And you see that in all of the Middle East.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: We don't stay. We can't stay. It's their homeland. We leave.
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: And no matter what we seem to put in there,
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: it doesn't seem to work.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts? I mean, when you see
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the $ 5 gasoline and the inflation that comes from it,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: do you think people have a resolve to say, let's
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: stay with it another month, even if it goes to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: six bucks or whatever?
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: Well, I think if it goes to six bucks, Ronnie,
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: there's going to be such a cry from the people
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: that the president got to release the oil reserves. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: our governor, you know, I'm glad he's on his last term.
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: When the when the state legislature comes in and said. Hey,
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: let's reduce the sales tax on the gasoline.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: The state tax.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: This is my 15%. 15 cents.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. You know what? I'll tell you this. Really,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that money goes for your roads and that kind of stuff.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think the answer is relieving that tax at all.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: This problem is real. so far beyond that right at
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: this point in time. I don't even know that... I
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: get tired of the strategic oil reserves, Vince, being used
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: for political purposes. The strategic oil reserves are there for
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: military purposes. Right. And they should... Now, they should stay
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: there for that. They should be used as a backup
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to try to influence oil prices either up or down.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of opposed to that. I want the strategic
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: oil reserves filled, capped off, left alone. And I don't
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: leave the state tax alone. Let these guys that created
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: this problem in the Trump administration figure out how to
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: fix it and what to do about it.
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: I think they ought to do like they promised during
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: this campaign, put four more refineries, two on each coast,
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: or five more refineries, two on each coast, and one
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: on the.
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: Gulf of America again. Do that commitment, and we can
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: do on our own oil. We have enough now that
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: we're selling it to other people. I mean, you know,
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: growing up, the price of gasoline was 20 cents a
• 27:41
  Speaker 11: gallon when I started to drive.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: 20 cents a gallon.
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: And those people were making millions of dollars after that. Today,
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: at $ 5 a gallon, they're not making millions?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have record profits.
• 27:54
  Speaker 11: They're going to have records.
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: We need someone like you, Ron, in Congress. I mean,
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: I know Rulers is doing a good job, but, you know,
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: come on.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that, Vince. You know I do. Thank you, man.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Truly my favorite Marine. News Radio 570. 541,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey, Ron. Yes. I'm looking forward
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to your insight, please.
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: 183.
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: You know what that is?
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: 183?
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: Three days until the midterms. That's the war we're in.
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: You have to win the midterms.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: The Patriot Movement, liberty and freedom has to win the midterms.
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: And that's all that matters. We're in the wrong war
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: right now. I do not care what Big Farmer Rich
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: or 007 Ted say. Okay, that was what you, your
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: discussion with Rich was great. And I wanted to vomit
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: every time he tried to come up with some reason
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: why we should be there. This he completely does not
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: understand history, recent history. Look what happened when Joe Biden
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: was inaugurated. That's all the farther.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Back you need to go.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: Everything, all the gains that the American people made during
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: Trump's first term. were literally erased overnight. And I just.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't know what it's going to take
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: to get out of this. If you don't want to
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: call it a war, whoever, a skirmish, I don't care.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: It's the wrong objective.
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: I mean, how many more opportunities are we going to
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: have to save this country?
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I think this is it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, though. Let me pick your
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: brain for a second. Here's what's troubling to me. Whether
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: or not why we got into this is worth debating.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: We're in it. What's the game plan? What's the exit strategy?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: What are we going to do about the straight? What
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: are we going to do about oil prices? All of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. I get all of that. But
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I'm in total agreement with what you said, folks. When
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I hear Mike talk, the most important thing is, this
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is what's ahead. You're going to..
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: There are no guarantees, you know, electing Republicans either.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could never vote for any of the Democrats.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I don't believe... It troubles me that... they say, well,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the Democrats could win the midterms. I don't want to
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: go back to the Democrats of tampons in the male restroom,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and you can wish yourself a woman, and men can
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: get pregnant, and you can't define what a woman is,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and we're going to hire you based on anything but merit.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Are you black? Are you gay? Are you transgender? I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to go back to that silliness. I don't
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: want to go back to another government program to help
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: everybody out. I don't want to go back to the...
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Democrat philosophy, the far-left philosophy. So I could never vote
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: for that. They created this inflation, and they are to
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: blame for it. I could never vote for it in
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: support of it. So the idea that, let's say, the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: midterms come and I would vote for Sherrod Brown or
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: whatever is ridiculous. I would never vote for any of
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the Democrats that are running. I've seen what they've done.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: They are the true destroyers of countries.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Right. But explain to me, because unfortunately I hate to
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: say it, most of you listening are informed voters. That's
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: why you listen to talk radio. That's why you read.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: That's why you know what's going on. Most people who
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: vote are low-information voters. It's a popularity contest with them.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: It's just like people that will be voting tomorrow. Most
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: people have no idea what's the difference between this candidate
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: and that candidate. They just kind of vote on name
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: recognition or location or whatever. It's not necessarily an informed vote.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: So when you look at the midterms, it'll be, hey,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: gas sucks. My world isn't good. I'm going to vote
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: for the Democrats. That's what troubles me, because then you're
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: right back to that lunacy. Do you agree with that?
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: I agree with that 100 percent, Ron. And, you know,
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: we've got plenty of lunacy here. in the Republican Party, too.
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: And right, but..
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: He points that out consistently, but..
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: But once you put the Democrats in charge, for the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: next two years, everything will just come to a screeching
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: standstill of fixing this country and getting it on the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: right path. It will be just... It will be stagnant,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and it will be... He will have screwed everything up.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: I don't agree with stagnant, Ron. With the Democrats in charge,
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: we're going to go in reverse.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: You're correct. I'm sorry. You are 100% correct.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: And stagnant might be the Republicans, the current Republicans. We
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: need more Thomas Massys and Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: And I'm not going to say that that's the answer,
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: the 100% answer. But right now, under Donald Trump, we
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: are losing slower. But we are losing.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: As far as losing the America First agenda.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: We're losing the country.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: We're losing the country. If we don't get the America
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: First agenda back on track, we're done.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: And the America First agenda is getting all these people
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: in your country that are here illegally out and affordability. Correct?
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: Elections. Elections right now are probably one of the most
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: critical things that we need to take care of.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Integrity in the system.
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: Yep, yep, correct.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: All right, Ron.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, I got to scoot.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Appreciate your time and your insights. NewsRadio 570.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: And Ron Furp, 547. Good to be with you here tonight.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Till 6, Rockport's Wealth Truth Investing Program with Joe Kovach
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and Adam Stahlnaker coming your way after the break at
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: 6 on NewsRadio 570.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: WKBN.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: We're on.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead, please.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: You know who this is?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: It's the unintelligent caller.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Well, the unintelligent caller is going to try to come
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: up with something intelligent.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, I can hardly wait.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: You're looking at.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: This war wrong. The war is actually in three phases,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: and everybody that calls in and everybody that talks about
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: it All they talk about is phase one, the war
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: and the bombing and this and that. It's in three phases.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: And to get to phase three, the best phase, you.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Got to go through phase two. And to get to
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: phase two, you got to have phase one. Now, phase
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: one is we need a reason to have phase two
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: and phase three. The reason is what's going to scare
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: everybody in the world. is nuclear weapons. So what does
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump do? Everything is about nuclear weapons. Iran's not
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: going to get a nuclear weapon. Why is he telling
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: you that? Because the people with an eighth-grade mentality, that's
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: what they're going to believe. But Donald Trump, you know
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: how they say you're playing checkers. Well, checkers is phase one.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Phase three is the chess game, okay? So phase one, that's.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: The war, okay?
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: He won the war. He wiped out the Navy. He
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: wiped out the Army. He wiped out everything in sight.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, he stops at the
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Straits of Hormuz and decides to have peace talks. Why
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: did he do that? Because that's phase two. He needed
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: the war. He needed you to believe there's nuclear weapons
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: so you can get to phase two. Phase two is
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: stopping all the oil transfer in the Strait of Hormuz.
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: Why?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: Because that stops. He don't care about Iran. You know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: we don't care about what they yell or anything. It's
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: about China. It's about Russia. But mostly it's about Great Britain,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: and it's about Luxembourg, Brussels, all the people that hold
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: our national debt. He's putting the squeeze on them. That's
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: phase two. So when you put the squeeze on them,
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: you get phase three, which is they're going to have
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: to buy the oil from us. You see? So you
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: can't just look at it as phase one, you know,
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: or like the war and we're losing gas prices are high. No,
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: it's going to be all right because who said 183
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: days until the midterms? Well, guess what's going to happen there?
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: He's going to.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Have it all solved.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: He has a great, I call it, I heard another
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: podcaster call it the great reset. He's doing a reset
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: from the deep state. They're reset. You see what I mean?
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: There's a battle going on. And this is going to
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: be Donald Trump. He took Venezuela. We got their oil there.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: He's going to control the Western Hemisphere. And to do this,
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: you're missing phase two and phase three when you talk
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: about this war.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: There he is, the unintelligent caller trying to be intelligent.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: Good evening, Ron.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: How are you? I'm very short on time.
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: Well, I got to tell you, a lot of what
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: was just said is right. I mean, the city of London,
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: you know, the globalists, that's all in the mix on
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: this thing. It is a larger strategy that's being played out,
• 38:36
  Speaker 12: and there are phases to it. And, you know, right
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: now we're just in this phase where we just can't
• 38:44
  Speaker 12: get control of the street. I think this is something
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: a lot of folks are missing.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: No, wait, let me do a quick break, then I
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: want to come back to you, and you've got to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: sum it up for the night, okay? Hang on. Back
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: with G2. Looking forward to his insight on it, and
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you will hear it after this. 570 WKBN. All right,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Stadium GM in the heart of Salem is where I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: want you to go for your next used or new car, truck,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: or SUV and experience the difference that you'll find at
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Stadium GM. It's just great customer service, and it's a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: great philosophy of a dealership. I shared it with you
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: this afternoon, and I encourage you for your family to
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: not dread being in the car market, whether it's new
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: or used, but have some joy with your life, and
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: you'll find it when you go where they have all
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: makes and all models at Stadium GM, whether it's Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Chevy.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: And with a dealership that appreciates your business, it's big
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: enough to offer you everything, yet small enough to get
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: to know you and treat you the right way. That's
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: what you get with Shorty Navarro, Mike Kudak, and the gang.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Service to sales at Stadium GM in the heart of Salem.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. All right, G2. With limited time,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: every day I'm hearing it, we got a deal, we
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: got a deal, there's no deal. Oil price went up today.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: We're at $ 5 a gallon here. Talk about it.
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: This is not, as I've said many times, not a
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: linear process. There are going to be days with deals,
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: days with no deals. There are going to be a
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: lot of puts and takes. And you've got this internal
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: battle for control in Iran that is obviously going to
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: happen any time. you eliminate several layers of leadership in
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: both the military and civilian side. So none of this
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: volatility is surprising in that this is war, and it's
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: war with an enemy who's going through tremendous struggles for power.
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: So this is all normal. Now, Iran is certainly the
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: enemy in this particular battle. The bigger enemy, as I
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: think the unintelligent caller pointed to, is these globalists. And
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: whether you call them Mr. Global or the globalists or
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: the city of London... thirteen family however you said that's
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: what the reset is about they're saying we're going to
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: reset the world so that your borders mean nothing and
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: we control what you do through the review and the
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: world health organization and and trump and and some others
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: are saying we're going to have sovereign nations that are
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: run for the interest of our citizens and our citizens
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: are going to decide how they're run by voting for
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: the representatives that they want and so this battle is
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: critical i think as we go forward and come closer
• 41:15
  Speaker 7: to uh..
• 41:17
  Speaker 9: Uh..
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: The the uh..
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: The need for this decision in congress as we get
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: this decision in congress don't forget a pack has tremendous
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: power over congress and and a lot of members of
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: congress or israeli and and they are going to be
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: pushing hard to keep the war going i don't know
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: what pound of flesh what ransom we're gonna have to
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: pay to congress to get them to agree but i
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: suspect israel will demand the congress he'll and make uh...
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: and do it's bidding and keep this war going Now,
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: can we get the SAVE Act passed in the middle
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: of that?
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: But the next stage of the most critical battle, which
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: is the internal battle, far more important than Iran, is
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: the domestic fight. And the next step there is the midterms.
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: And we've got to get the SAVE Act passed. I
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: don't know where Israel stands on it, if they're against
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: it or for it. We should check in with AIPAC,
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: I suppose. But Americans have to demand that we get
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: the SAVE America Act so we can have legitimate elections
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: in the fall.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Any other thoughts?
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: Well, there's a lot, but there's such limited time. I'll
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: tell you, the other thought is it's a beautiful late
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: spring day, and wherever you are, try to get a
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: few minutes outside and enjoy the air and sun because
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: it's beautiful.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Are you worried about the midterm, so because of gas
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: prices being high and could go higher, inflation coming back?
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: I think gas prices are a critical factor to a
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: huge number of voters that know nothing about what's going on,
• 42:44
  Speaker 7: as you said earlier. It's not, you know, we're not
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: talking about your listeners. We're talking about, you know, Joe Mainstreet.
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: They revel in their ignorance, and they'll vote on something
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: as simple as that. But the midterms are simply the
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: next domestic battle that has to be won. It's the
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: SAVE Act, then the midterms, and without one, you don't
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: get the other. So this is a really critical.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Battle, and I hope you look at it as that.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I hope we have more time to talk about it tomorrow. G2,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: thank you. NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: From ABC News. I'm Mike Dabosky. A dramatic escalation in
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: fighting today around the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Navy begins escorting commercial ships through the blockade. ABC News
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: foreign correspondent Tom Sufi Burridge reports from Tel Aviv.
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: Iran launches attacks both on the United Arab Emirates and
• 43:36
  Speaker 13: according to CENTCOM also firing cruise missiles at U.S. military
• 43:41
  Speaker 13: ships and aircraft. at cargo vessels near to the Strait
• 43:44
  Speaker 13: of Hormuz. CENTCOM saying all of those missiles were shot
• 43:47
  Speaker 13: down and none of the vessels were destroyed. And CENTCOM
• 43:50
  Speaker 13: also saying they destroyed six small Iranian gunboats.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Oil prices were up on the increased hostilities today as
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: the average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: now sits at over $ 4.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: 40 a gallon.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Economist Joe Brusuella says Americans will feel that and not
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: just at the gas pump.
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: Think of everything that you buy that involves plastic. You
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: like your broccoli and plastic that you buy from Costco?
• 44:15
  Speaker 10: That's going to get more expensive. Hey, American moms, those
• 44:18
  Speaker 10: disposable diapers you get from Walmart, they're going to jump
• 44:21
  Speaker 10: in price, too. So we're going to get a little
• 44:24
  Speaker 10: bit of a modest inflation shock here.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has issued a temporary stay
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: in a case involving Mifepristone, the popular abortion drug. ABC's
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Devin Dwyer explains what's likely to come next.
• 44:37
  Speaker 14: Supreme Court basically has not taken a position just yet.
• 44:41
  Speaker 14: And what they're deciding is whether or not they think
• 44:43
  Speaker 14: the state of Louisiana is likely to prevail in challenging
• 44:48
  Speaker 14: the safety of how Mifepristone is distributed. So by next
• 44:52
  Speaker 14: week sometime, the Supreme Court is likely to weigh in
• 44:55
  Speaker 14: and either extend this state or snapping back to pre-2023 guidelines.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: And it looks like the case between Blake Lively and
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Justin Baldoni won't be going to trial. The two sides
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: engaged in a contentious legal fight over allegations of abuse
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: on a movie set have announced they've reached a settlement.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: You're listening to ABC News.
