  Speaker 2: It's 74 degrees. It's a lovely day out there, isn't it?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I think tomorrow's Election Day, isn't it? Isn't it May 5th?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Is that Election Day? Is that the official day we're
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: supposed to go out and vote in the primary? I
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: better be prepared. And here's the disappointing part. They say
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you're going to get like a 25% turnout, which is
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: really pathetic. I mean, how long does it take to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: go out and cast your ballots, let your voice be heard?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take that much effort, but such a low
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: voter turnout, that's never a good thing. And then, of course,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you wait for the general and see what happens then. Anyway,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: good afternoon.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: 330-729-9977.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: 330-729-9977.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Have we made a deal yet with Iran? I mean,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing... Trump administration say Iran wants a deal.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Iran wants a deal. Well, have we made one yet?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Is gas still $ 5 a gallon? In my neck of
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the woods, it is, boys and girls. Depends where you are.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Some people are calling me like bragging, hey, gas is
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: cheaper in PA than it is in Ohio. Why is that, incidentally?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Why is that? I don't understand that. Why is gas?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense to me. I'm confused. You're
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Ronald.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, it's Monday. It's Ted the Conservative. Hello, Theodore.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm calling you in regards to Friday.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Stupid comments from that woman.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Friday's like a blur, okay? Friday, stupid comments.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: At first I blew them off because I laughed it
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: off and I thought, you know, never get in the
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: mud with a pig because you come out dirty, right?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: I don't like to attack people. But I will call
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: a spade a spade, and I didn't think nothing of it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, stupid people say stupid things, right?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I get some messages this morning that I forwarded to you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: This has been going on for weeks on social media,
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: the slander and the things that are being said about
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: me from her. And I thought to.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Myself, you know... Now, that's because you, Ted the Conservative,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the Ted the Conservative endorsement has gone to Christine Oliver for..
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Right, right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: In a Republican primary.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: First of all, she's got numerous Facebook accounts she hides behind,
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: and she blocks people that don't agree with her. And
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: then she talks about people. Well, it's going to stop today.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: And it starts with you. I would think you're not
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: going to let her run her mouth again like she
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: did Friday. Because if she does, I'm going to come back.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: So she will be getting a visit on Meadowbrook Drive.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: From the Pullum Police Department.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: No, wait a minute. You can't. Don't put anybody's son down.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: And if she's not home, they will deliver it to
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: her husband's.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: Place of business.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, don't put out personal information.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: It's another thing to say things on radio. It's another
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: thing to go on social media and start talking shit.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, just hang on. Don't use the S-word.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: And don't use personal addresses and that kind of stuff. Okay?
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Just..
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Well, she's using personal names.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what happens on social media cannot happen here.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: And if you allow it to continue, I'm going to
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: come back harder. That's all I can say. I won't
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: get in the mud with a pig because I'll come
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: out dirty, but I won't sit here. And the things
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: that were sent to me, some of them that I
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: shared with you, some that I didn't, it stops now.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: If not, you know, we'll see where it goes. Because
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I don't agree with someone, they attack you. That speaks
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: volumes to the type of person you're dealing with.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: It's the United States of America. You have a right
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to support whatever candidate you wish to support.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I get called a liar because I said that I
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: met Christine Oliver in Columbiana. I guess some people are
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: so dumb and stupid they don't realize that parts of
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Columbiana are Mahoney County. Maybe they should leave Poland, Ohio
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: and drive around or go down to the Board of
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Elections and look at a map. But, you know, having
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: fun playing games is one thing. You start blasting crap
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: on social media and doing the things that she's doing
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: and saying the things that she's saying, that changes the game.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: That's my warning shot.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: All right, so you're upset over being attacked on social media,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of which I have no control over, obviously.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Right, right, right.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I have no control.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I sent you some of it. I didn't send you
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: all of it. But the police got.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: All of it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Now, why are the police involved?
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Well, because when you deal with crazy people, you deal
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: with them head on. And if you don't stop them,
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: things continue to escalate. And, you know, I think she's crazy.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I think she's unstable, to be honest with you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, it's... If you're going to go
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: so far as to talk.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: About people on social media, then you've got to do
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: what you have to do to protect yourself, right?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: What would you do? Well, let me put it this way.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Who has been called an idiot more than I?
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Well, beyond that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: Who is it?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: A liar. I'm not going to sit around and be
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: called a liar. Here's the advice I would give you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and to anybody. Here's what I've discovered over the years. Uh,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: everybody's entitled to their own opinion. And a lot of
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: people say nasty things. See, I give my thoughts and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: my opinions publicly. All right. So, so just, I, I
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: speak publicly. I don't speak behind people's. Right. Okay. Right. See,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't really, I speak publicly. I don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: speak behind people's backs.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I don't have Facebook pages and fake names.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Right. And the, Do you want to know me?
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Here I am.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of what they call these
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: keyboard warriors.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: And keyboard warrior.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But outside of that, how do I say this outside
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: of that? I really, I really don't care what, what,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: what people post or what people say. It, it, it
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't bother me most of the time. Frankly, I don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: see it. I don't read it because who knows it's,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: A lot of people think they know more than they
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: do know. And it's something that you have to wrestle with.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: A lot of people think that they have a deeper
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: understanding of things than they actually do. And so the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: advice I'm giving to you is don't take it personal.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I gave it to Ron, but she did. Well, no,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: if somebody... If somebody's getting under your skin, you shouldn't
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: let somebody get under your skin, and you shouldn't take
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it so personally.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: There's a line, and when you cross that line, the
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: gloves come off.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the line?
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Talking shit on social media.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Well, don't say the S word. You keep saying that.
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Talking crap. Talking about people you don't know. Calling people liars.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: You know, different things.
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: Slander.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Slander. Plain and simple.
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: Slander.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: When you cross the line, when you start slandering. Well, it's...
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: And when you start... talking about people on social media
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: and grown adults. This is stuff our kids did in
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: middle school, you know, and here's a woman, crazy woman
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: talking about people on social media, hiding behind fake accounts,
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: saying the vile things that she said last week on
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: your program. You know, does she think that's funny and cute?
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Never once have I attacked her, but you know, she,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: she crossed the line. So let this be a warning
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: to keep my name out of her mouth and off
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: the program and off the Facebook. And other than that,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: If you're voting tomorrow, there's only one candidate, Ron. Who
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: is it? Who am I supporting?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You are, Ted, the conservative is supporting Christine Oliver.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Christine Oliver. She knows the issues, unlike some who got
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: in the race and then had to call Ron Verb
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: to learn what the issues are. She, you know, she doesn't,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: she supports reducing the taxes. for our senior citizens, unlike Sheppas,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: which makes no sense to how Rich voted for Sheppas,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: because I always thought Rich was an anti-tax guy. I
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: thought he wanted those reductions put in place. Who was
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: that state lawmaker?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Dave Thomas.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Dave Thomas. Dave Thomas. I thought he was a big
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: fan of Dave Thomas. Dave Thomas has endorsed Christine Oliver.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Rich votes for the guy that wants to raise his taxes,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: which made no sense to me. And I was surprised
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: at some of the slanderous things he said, too, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: that's here regardless. Hey, I'm with Christine Oliver. She's dedicated
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: her life to public service, from serving in the Navy,
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: her time on city council. You know what she's done
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: with her nonprofit, Back to Blue, to support law enforcement
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: officers across the state and raise money for the children
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: of her fallen officers. Those are the people you want
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: representing you in government, not people who are empty seats.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: looking for a paycheck, looking for the next job, trying
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: to climb that political ladder just for self-gratification, I guess.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: So if you don't like my opinion, disagree with me.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: But when you start the personal attacks on social media
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: and the things you say, the vile things you say
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: on radio, then that crosses the line. If you don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: like my opinion, you're glad to disagree with me. Draw
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: the line there.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: There he is, on fire.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Here I am. All right, buddy. I hope I don't
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: have to call back.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you. It's Ted the Conservative. He's upset with some
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: of the scoundrels on social media. News Radio 570, the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: keyboard warriors, all the tough people on social media and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Facebook and all that kind of stuff, which is really
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a giant waste of time. I am shocked at how
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: some people just It's amazing. when I share every personal
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: thing on Facebook. You're on the air.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: Hope you had a good weekend, because I'm here to
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: deliver the bad news.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: Way down S & P, down NASDAQ, down volatility high.
• 10:11
  Speaker 11: West Texas Intermediate was up over 4% most of the day.
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: And global oil prices... $ 14 a barrel, that doesn't say,
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: but that's Brent crude. That's the global index. And headline news,
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: stocks remain lower as Trump sends new warning to Iran
• 10:34
  Speaker 11: against attacks on U.S.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Vessels.
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: And, Ron, I spent the weekend analyzing all 220 software stocks.
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: And to save time, I checked with other software analysts.
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: And I've never seen anything like it in my life.
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: Almost every recommendation was a sell recommendation. And Warren Buffett
• 11:00
  Speaker 11: has sold another $ 50 billion worth of stock and is
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: now sitting on almost $ 400 billion in cash. And that's
• 11:11
  Speaker 11: a couple billion more than I even have in my
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: bank account.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: There you go. Well, that's because those young girlfriends of
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: yours keep burning through the cash. So let me see
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: on my ticker here, on my CNBC ticker, the Dow's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: down 512 points. Ouch, you're 401k today. or your IRA
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: is bleeding. 512 is the Dow is down. S &
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: P is down 25. NASDAQ's down 39. The Russell's down 16.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: The VIX is up one. So needless to say, it
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: is a bad day for your 401k and your IRA.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: And it says Dow falls 500 points as oil jumps
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: on fears Iran conflict set to flare up again. And
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: wait a second, Dow falls 500 points as oil jumps.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So if oil jumps, and I'm paying $ 5 here in
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the Buckeye States, here where I live in my neck
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: of the woods, my wallet's in great pain today, Frank.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: My wallet's in pain. My wallet's suffering. And if the
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: price of a barrel of oil– by the way, incidentally,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: when I'm talking oil, Frank, I'm not Ron Verb, I'm T.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Boone Verb, okay? That's my– T.
• 12:22
  Speaker 11: Boone Pickens.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, T. Boone Verb. That's my oil name. But
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: when I'm talking oil, if the– Oh, by the.
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: Way, let me interrupt. Wasn't T. Boone the pioneer of
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: public equity business model?
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: No.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Well, this is just oil discussion because I need a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: hip oil name when I'm talking oil. It sounds cool,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: T-Bone Verb. But not T-Bone Verb, T-Bone. But needless to say,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: is it possible, Frank, that gas could go up more
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: than $ 5 a gallon in my neck of the woods?
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: Well, let me put it this way. Rich, the pharmacist,
• 13:02
  Speaker 11: repeated it again. that he wants to make exporting oil illegal?
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: Because he thinks the price of gas would crash. Now,
• 13:12
  Speaker 11: Rich doesn't understand that only 6% of our oil flows
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: through the Straits of Hormuz. The reason the gas price
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: is soaring is because the Fed is inflating rapidly.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Let me interject one minute. I was actually listening to
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a guy, and I'm going to lay this on you, Frank.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Are you sitting down?
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: He said the reason why oil prices are soaring is
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: there's an oil shortage. With all this mess going on,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: he said there is now an oil shortage because you
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: can see that you don't have these areas where oil
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: isn't flowing out of Iran. This guy claims there's an
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: oil shortage. That's why oil prices are going up because
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: of this mess. And he also said that he thought
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: they could go up beyond $ 5 a gallon. What do
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you say? Hello? What happened to Frank? I think I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: stunned Frank with my wisdom. He fainted. All right, Frank,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: call me back. I lost your connection. I don't know
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: what happened to him. You're on the air.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: How old is Ted? You know, I thought by our
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: ages now we would know. That you don't go and..
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, sticks and stones may break... Right.
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: I mean, you don't know better enough that you've seen
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: it before, you've experienced it before, that people are going
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: to say things that you... Especially if you're passionate about it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: And then now he's... And he was bad-mouthing her on
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: the back end.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, again, guys, I don't understand.
• 14:57
  Speaker 12: Maybe it's me.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And really, who's been more picked on on this program
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: than J.J. the liberal? Seriously.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: No, I haven't.
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: No, I haven't.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Which is Frank.
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: Frank and those other guys have gotten, Emmanuel has gotten
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: ten times worse because he's a.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Man of color.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think Emmanuel's gotten it ten times worse. I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: don't even think Frank's gotten it worse. I would say
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the guy that's gotten it the hardest has always been J.J.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the liberal. And sometimes, now stand by, J.J., I'm going
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to do some analysis. All right, hang on.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: J.J.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: The liberal coming up. Do some analysis there. And more
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: of your calls straight ahead.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I've had plenty of time to contemplate during that last
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: commercial break. I don't think anybody's taken more criticism than J.J.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the Liberal. Now, I've reviewed this. What's your advice to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Ted the Conservative? Stand tall.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to give him any advice. He should
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: know better.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Know better what?
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: He should just know better.
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: If I was doing that, He would come on here
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: and go, see, JJ's acting like a child going on
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: there and talking to people, and he knows that they're
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: going to say this. Come on, man. I don't get
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: along with him, but I respect him.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I lost respect from a long time ago when.
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: He battled G2, and he was right. And then the
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: next following day, he was the first one to call in,
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: and he apologized, and he had no reason to apologize.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: I lost it for him. I was like, man, dude,
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: you were right. I'm walking around the garage, I'm going,
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: you were right, Ted. But you buckled and you wouldn't,
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: because what reason? There was no reason to challenge you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: I'm not trying to challenge you. He's an intelligent individual,
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: and that's the reason why I'm disappointed.
• 16:41
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: Anyway, but today, you know, again, we got some bombings. And,
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: you know, I was thinking, I was over the weekend,
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: last time I talked to you.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I said, who's benefiting from this? So, you know, I mean,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Frank will probably know the answer to this, and many
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: other people do.
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: But I'm thinking, who.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Benefits from it?
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: Contractors?
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Russia?
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: China?
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: There are certain..
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: 20% is owned by the oil that comes out of..
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think China's benefiting from it because China's
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: got a big oil problem. India's not benefiting from it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Africa's not benefiting from it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: A lot of those guys have connections. Remember, we don't
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: know everything. I'm using that kind of..
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: We don't know what everybody knows, but the problem is that..
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: I've got to quit saying that, too.
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: My brother called me.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: I always say the problem is I.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Don't understand why... that we're still there. I mean, it's this..
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I can answer that question. I can actually... Wait
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: a second, JJ. I can give you, I think, an
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: intelligent answer to that. Stand by. Let me do my headlines.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: And then I come back and take more of your
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: calls in a minute.
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, let me go back to JJ. Now, JJ,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: when you're asking about this situation in Iran, here's the deal.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: We can debate all we want on whether or not
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: we should be there in the first place if this
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: was a good idea from the beginning. But that's wasting
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: time because we're there, right? I mean, the reality is
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that that ship has sailed. So you can argue a point.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: They can argue, well, take a look at the bombing
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: and take a look at the campaign, the blockade. It
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: seems like, militarily speaking, everything seems to be going very
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: well there. for the United States and the people that
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: claim to be in a no seem to think if
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: we wait them out that they're hurting more than we're
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: hurting and we'll be victorious if we wait them out,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: if we don't pull the pin too soon. That's one
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: of the arguments for stay in the course, if you will,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and not bailing out too early. And so... We shall see. Now,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: on the other hand..
• 18:49
  Speaker 14: I get that point.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: But we're going over there. They don't have to leave
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: to defend their property. Their war is not costing them
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: as far as them having to travel. That costs us money.
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: That's other contingencies that we have to deal with. But again,
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: we have a lot more money. So I understand your
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: point there. But it is... I'm just believing that... When
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: we first went into Venezuela, again, he said, who's in charge?
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: And he finally said the oil companies. And they're one
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: of the benefits from Grumman and many of those other
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: contractors are making money hand over.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Fist right now.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: And the oil companies are going to make a fortune, too.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: The oil companies will be making a fortune.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Grumman made, just since the beginning of the war, they've
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: made their stock and everything, they've.
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: Gained $ 15.
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: Billion since this has started. And that's mind-boggling. I mean,
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: that would motivate.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: A lot of people to continue.
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: A conflict that really is not necessary. And in my views,
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: if you, everybody wants to talk about, if you look
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: through history and blah, blah, blah, it's usually over religion.
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: It's over wars where you're the religion property where you're
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: coming and trying to take my land or freedom. Those
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: are the three things right there that really motivate another
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: person to engage in warfare. And usually those things right
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: there and right.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Now, it's money.
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: And it's a profitable business. That's what's happening, really, Aron.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: There's no freedom for people. The people over there have lost.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: So much of it, they're all in poverty now. There's
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: like 10 million people that are in poverty now ever
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: since the war started over in Iran. And we're not
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: benefiting from it either. The people over here, we're going
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: to be paying for more more weapons. We're going to
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: be paying for everything. And nobody cares. And quite frankly,
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: as I said, I live by very simple means in
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: the first place. Other than I got my grocery stuff
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: in the backyard growing and stuff, I can deal with it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: But there's a lot of people that are not in
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: very good shape. A lot of people are in fear.
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: And as I said, it's We've got to make some
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: changes here, and it's not going to go anywhere. And,
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: you know, like you said, I'm proud of you about
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: him going after Comey. Come on, man, that's ridiculous.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Let me put it this way, just to be clear.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think I voted for Trump. I'd vote for
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Trump again. I don't think we'd be better off if
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris was president. I don't think we'd be better
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: off if we vote for Sherrod Brown as senator. I
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: don't think the Democrats— I don't want to go back to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: the Democrats' wacky agenda— Even if even as critical as
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I can be of Trump, I still got to look
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: at the borders closed. I got to look at all
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the good stuff that has happened. I always acknowledge these
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: guys know more than any of us know about this,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: their information. OK, so.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, but I also know this.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I also know you cannot continue with five dollar a
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: gallon gasoline or potentially higher. Because it is putting a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: big hurt on everything and everybody. Remember what happened.
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: To Marie Antoinette when she said, let them eat cake.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what's going on now. And it wasn't good.
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: For her or King Louis. I'm not implying anything.
• 22:08
  Speaker 13: I just made a joke there.
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: A bad joke.
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: But it's still right now.
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: People aren't going to take it for much longer. And
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: they're going to say, even the people that are very
• 22:16
  Speaker 9: passionate about him, they're going to start to say, listen,
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: I'm for you and I'm going to back you up here,
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: but you better do something. Or this voting or lack
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: thereof could be a very.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Difficult thing in November.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: So, you know, again, it's all hands on deck right now.
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: We've got to come together somehow, and I know that
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: ain't going to happen. So I'm just going to try
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: to be one.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Of the people that can keep the boat from flipping.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: There you go, J.J. the liberal. Thank you. I mean,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: it is a tough situation that this country is in
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: right now. And as I say, you can go back
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: and we can debate all we want as to whether
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: or not we should have got into this from the
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: first place. I mean, it really doesn't matter. I mean,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: people would say that we got in this because of
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: the power of Israel getting us involved in this and
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: we shouldn't have got involved in this from the very beginning.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: And that doesn't matter. I mean, I guess in retrospect,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: you can debate that as whether or not it was
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a good idea or bad idea, whether or not we
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: should have got involved in this in the very beginning.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But let's deal with reality. We are involved in it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: And do I have concerns? Yes, I do. I mean,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing the administration keep saying Iran wants to
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: make a deal. Iran wants to make a deal. Iran
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: wants to make a deal. And I keep saying, well,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: where's the deal? You keep telling me you got him
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: right where you want him. Iran wants to make a deal,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: but I don't see any deal.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: So..
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Does Iran want to make a deal? There's no question
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: in my mind Iran is suffering. Economically and in so
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: many ways. I mean, as far as financially, they are suffering.
• 24:06
  Speaker 11: But..
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Are they willing to ride it out? I don't know
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the answer to that. I don't know. I mean, I
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: do remember early on when Iran said, hey, listen, you
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: want to destroy us and our economy? We'll destroy you
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: and your economy. Implying that oil prices will go up
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: and we're an oil-based economy and it can have a
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: big effect on So I don't know. It's a whole
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: different culture. It is a whole different culture. And I
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: don't know what they're thinking over there because I'm not
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: familiar with that culture. I'm not there. I don't understand it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: It's a whole different mentality. It's a whole different culture.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: It's a whole different lifestyle. So I don't know what
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: they're thinking. You know, I can sit here and say
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to you, I wish we would reach some type of
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: deal here so that we can move on from this.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: But if I speculate, I don't think this thing is
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: going as well as they thought it would go. This
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: is all my pure speculation. I honestly believe they thought
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: that this would be over much sooner than it's dragged
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: on to at this point in time. I think that
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: they were under the impression that we could bomb the
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: living hell out of them and bring them to their
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: knees and that this would be over relatively quickly. And
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: that was certainly the impression that was given early on.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: And I don't sense that that's happening right now. As
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: of May 4th. That was the impression given early. But
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: now it's May 4th. And as I say, I just
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: hear this all the time. Iran wants to make a deal.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And I've heard this for weeks. Well, where's the deal?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: So I talk as cheap deeds are precious until I
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: see the deal. I want to see what happens. What
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: takes place there. So we shall see.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: And..
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Is Iran willing to just wait this out? Are they
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: willing to say, I don't know what their resolve is.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Are they willing to say, who are you to tell
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: us whether or not as a country we can have
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon? Who are you to dictate this to us?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, are they willing to wait it out thinking, okay,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: we can wait it out and your economy is going
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: to get destroyed too. And China is going to be without,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: run out of oil. India is going to run out
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: of oil. Africa's going to have starvation because of the
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: lack of fertilizer. There's a lot of dominoes that could
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: fall that can really piss a lot of countries off
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: when you don't have oil and energy, whether that's India
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: or China or food when it comes to Africa and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: fertilizer and famine. So there's some long-term ramifications to all
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: of this. I don't have all the answers for you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Were these guys able to foresee all
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: of this? Hard to say. I mean, I can't sit
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: here and it's hard to say. Obviously, they know more
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: than any of you listening. They know more and have
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: more insider information than any of us listening with the
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: decisions that they've made. But we are where we are.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, all I can tell you is based on that,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: it seems like militarily everything's gone really well. Now, I
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: realize there are critics that said, well, I thought when
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: we dropped the bunker buster, that was the end of it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Now they're saying, well, that wasn't the end of it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Now we're dropping all these bombs, and when's the end
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: of it now? I understand the critics. I understand, and
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with people being critical of it, because
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: that's open discussion in America. And some people, you have some, McGregor, General...
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: McGregor is very critical of this situation and what's happening. Well,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: he certainly is a lot better informed than the rest
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: of us with this criticism. But if Iran wants to
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: make a deal, all I say is, where's the deal?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: How much longer is this going to take? Another month,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: two months, three months, six months? Because I keep hearing
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: when I watch it, we got them right where we
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: want them. And maybe we do. Maybe it's just a
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: matter of days or weeks. but are the American people
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: willing to pay $ 5 a gallon or $ 5. 50 or $ 6
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: a gallon who knows where it could go I don't
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: think so I genuinely don't think so and Politically speaking,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: it always is the economy, stupid. There's not a lot
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: of support for this military action. If you take a look,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: there's not a lot of public support for it. And
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: that can be devastating for the midterms as far as
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the Republicans are concerned. Then for the next two years,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: you've derailed everything. like the American first agenda and everything
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: would be on hold for two years and it'd just
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: be the usual devastation that comes from it. So we
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: shall see. I wish I could give you a better,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone can really give you a good
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: assessment of it. I'm against the Democrats that seem to
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: knock the country. I mean, I do agree with some
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: people that say the Democrats hate Trump more than they
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: love their country, and I think that statement is true.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I think as an American, you've got to say what
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the military has accomplished has been phenomenal. And the blockade
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: seems to be very effective. So any of the Democrats
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: who want to imply that Iran is winning, I don't
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: think that that's the case at all. I think the
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: United States is the upper hand at this point in time.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: But are they willing to lose and wait it out?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: And we shall see. Because I don't understand their culture.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: But I do understand this culture. And I can tell you,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: $ 5 gasoline is devastating to the economy and household budgets.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: And it will lead to inflation. Not just $ 5 gasoline,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: but diesel fuel at $ 6 a gallon. And I don't
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: think that there's much support for that to continue. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: we shall see. Comments? You're on the air. Hello. I
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: thought you were there. Maybe I went the wrong line.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: You're on the air.
• 32:31
  Speaker 12: So are you supposed to look at the stock market
• 32:33
  Speaker 12: every day and check everything on the numbers?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do look at the stock market every day
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: because it is important. Why does it matter? You know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I do a financial show, so Rockport should be on
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: tonight at 6 o'clock.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Because the reality is there's plenty of people retired that
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: are involved in it with their retirements. There's plenty of
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: people close to retirement. and plenty of people that are
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: in 401ks and whatever. And when you take a look
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: at huge losses like that, it is devastating, and it
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: psychologically affects half the population, just as a $ 5 gas
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: price out there affects all the population.
• 33:09
  Speaker 12: How many record highs have we had since the war started?
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't matter because they're yesterday's news because
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: they're right back down.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so..
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you the next high. The next high will
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: be if there's the thought of a deal being made. Now,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: why does that happen? Call back, Jake. Sometimes my system
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: fails me, folks. Sometimes I'm telling you our phone system
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: just screws up. I don't understand it, but it does.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: So if you lost your connection, you just have to
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: call back. Let me just check a few things. Okay.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: And hopefully you'll get through.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: 330-729-9977.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: They're making some major changes as far as some of
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: our infrastructure. Let me put it that way. 330-729-9977. 330-729-9977. Jake,
• 34:05

• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I'm coming back. And more.

  Speaker 2: 570 WKBN. And Ron Verb, call us on line standby.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: We'll do our headlines, and then we'll come back with
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: a long segment on NewsRadio 570, Dodie Caryon. I want
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: to invite you, if you're in the market for a car, truck, SUV,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: whether new or used, to visit our friends down at
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Stadium GM in the heart of Salem. And I say
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: that as a customer because everything General Motors makes is
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: under one roof, Cadillac, Buick. GMC Chevrolet. It's where we
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: bought our cars in 2017 where my wife just purchased
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a Chevy Equinox at Stadium GM. Locally owned and operated.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: That's part of some big conglomerate. No, it's locally owned
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: and operated. Mike Kudak runs a great operation. No one
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: treats you better from the service departments to the sales
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: departments to the selection. Stadium GM in the heart of Salem.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: From ABC News. I'm Mike Tobusky. President Trump says the
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: ceasefire with Iran is still in effect after significant attacks
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: from Iran were reported by the United Arab Emirates today.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl.
• 35:32
  Speaker 15: I actually just got off the phone with him. I
• 35:34
  Speaker 15: was calling about the attacks on the UAE and asking
• 35:40
  Speaker 15: if this was a mean, is the ceasefire over, basically.
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: And I thought it was interesting.
• 35:44
  Speaker 15: His entire tone was one to, you know, kind of
• 35:48
  Speaker 15: not overreact. He said this was not heavy firing. I
• 35:52
  Speaker 15: don't know if the UAE would agree with that.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: All this on the first day of Project Freedom, an
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: effort from the Trump administration to have the U.S. military
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. More on that
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: from ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce.
• 36:06
  Speaker 16: The president posting, we will guide their ships safely out
• 36:09
  Speaker 16: of these restricted waterways so that they can freely and
• 36:12
  Speaker 16: ably get on with their business. Adding, I am fully
• 36:15
  Speaker 16: aware that my representatives are having very positive discussions with
• 36:18
  Speaker 16: the country of Iran, despite later claiming Iran's latest proposal
• 36:22
  Speaker 16: is not acceptable.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: The Supreme Court has restored access to Mifepristone for the
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: time being. A decision last week from a lower court
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: in Louisiana looked to limit how that abortion pill was
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: distributed by mail. Now it will remain available by mail
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: while the court weighs its next move. Week two of
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the case pitting Tesla CEO Elon Musk against OpenAI head
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Sam Altman. Musk is suing Altman. after OpenAI dropped its
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: nonprofit status last year. Today, jurors are hearing from OpenAI
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: executive Greg Brockman.
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: Mr.
• 36:51
  Speaker 14: Brockman is going to testify.
• 36:53
  Speaker 17: There are already exhibits in evidence that indicate that Mr.
• 36:56
  Speaker 17: Musk himself was one of those who had some skepticism
• 37:00
  Speaker 17: early on as to whether or not the nonprofit structure
• 37:03
  Speaker 17: would really work, and that he only then, when he
• 37:06
  Speaker 17: didn't get his way in terms of ownership of a
• 37:09
  Speaker 17: for-profit entity, then he left.
• 37:12
  Speaker 18: ABC's James Sample, you're listening to ABC News.
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: WKBN.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: 407 in the afternoon, 73 degrees. You're on the air. Hello.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Very strange day we're having here. Wait a minute. You're
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: on the air. I'm going to say that we got
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: some issues with our phone lines here. In my opinion.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: So we'll try to get it resolved anyway. We'll try
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: to find out if we have a phone line issue, problems.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Just be persistent. 330-729-9977. Sometimes these things, we're going through
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: some internal changes as far as things are concerned, and
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: it seems to be some snafus that are going on.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: But be persistent, and I'll do my best to see
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: if we can... Get things squared away here on NewsRadio
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: 570 at ODKVN. And I'll get the powers to be
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: to see if they know what's going on here. There
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: we go.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: We'll see if that works. Anyway, we're talking here. People ask...
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: How do I assess this whole situation? And when we
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: talk about Iran and what's going on with it, there
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: isn't anything good about $ 5 gasoline. But I don't want people,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: when I bellyache about it, I don't want people to
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: misunderstand me for one minute. I mean, do you think
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: for a second I... Regret voting for Trump? I do not.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Do you think I would feel that we'd be better
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: off if Biden was president or Kamala Harris was president?
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I do not. So I voted for Trump three times.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: In general, overall, I think he's done a really good job.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: And I can disagree with him. It doesn't matter whether
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I agree or disagree on Trump. the reasons why we
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: started this war with Iran. It's irrelevant at this point
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: because it's underway. So it doesn't matter. It's not even
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: worth debating. I suspect when we reach some type of
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: conclusion or it's over, we can discuss that. But until then,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: what's the point? I mean, it's here. And it's happening.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Do I get frustrated with the Democrats who seem, as
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I've said earlier, they seem like they hate Trump more
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: than they love their country? And I would say that
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: that's true. It's almost the Democrats' wish for failure. Because
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: it could make Trump look bad. In so many ways,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: as I say, they hate Trump more than they love
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: their country and they wish for failure. And that makes
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: me sit back and wonder. why anyone would root in
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: that fashion. And I find them doing that. So when
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I look at this particular situation, I mean, is it
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: fair to, as I say, I'm not a cheerleader for Trump.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I'd vote for him again. When I look at this situation,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: do I have some questions about it? Absolutely. Why we
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: got in it in the first place. You keep telling
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: me a deal is close, a deal is near, yet
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: I don't see one. And I'm constantly hearing this. Iran
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: wants to make a deal. Iran wants to make a deal.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: But there isn't one yet. And I'm still looking for one.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: And there isn't one. When is that going to happen?
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I keep hearing it. We got him on the ropes.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: And I think we do. Economically speaking. They're devastated, but
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: are they willing to take the hit and wait us out?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Because they know we're going to pack up and go
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: back home. They know the midterms are coming, and they
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: know maybe it's a waiting game. I don't know. Is
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: that part of their culture? They don't care the pain
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: that's inflicted on their own people? I don't understand, as
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: I said last hour, their culture. I don't get it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: But I do understand our culture here, as I say,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: and I do understand the economics of things. And over
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: the weekend, I was reading a guy that says the
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: problem really isn't, is an oil shortage actually is what
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the problem is. And that's why when you look at
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: the global situation, that's why you see $ 5 a gallon
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: gasoline here. And he seemed to think that that situation
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: would be getting worse, not better. I mean, that's one
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: man's opinion. as far as somebody with some degree of
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: know-how in the industry. So I just pass it along.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: So you see gas prices in my neck of the
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: woods at $ 4. 89, five bucks a gallon, which is interesting
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: because in other parts of the country, it's less. I
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: don't know why that is. With the exception of California,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: we all know why those prices are high out there.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: But why is it less when we look at other
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: areas close to us. It might be $ 4. 50 a gallon.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: And here it's $ 5. You sit back and you wonder, well,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: what the hell is going on here? So the headlines today,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Iran attacks UAE.
• 43:03
  Speaker 11: U.S.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Says it sank boats in Strait of Hormuz. The headlines today,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is Won't return to
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: normal until August or later, according to traders. Well, this
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: is May. June, July, August? It's a ways off. Next headline, U.S.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: military denies Iran's claim it's struck American warship in Strait
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: of Hormuz. Dow falls 500 points as oil jumps on
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: fear Iran conflict set to flare up again. So if
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: that's the case, should I be prepared to see oil
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: prices go higher than $ 5 a gallon?
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: No?
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's my initial thought when I'm reading these headlines.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: And then you come back and say to yourself, okay,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: if that's the situation, if that is what the current
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: situation is, how long do they expect the American people
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: to be able to tolerate this? I mean, I'm not
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: saying that's the reason why spirits went out of businesses
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: and airlines. They had other issues. But certainly the cost
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: of what you see as far as jet fuel is
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: concerned is astronomical. The price of it is through the roof.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: So you don't think the ticket prices are going to
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: increase for anybody wanting to go on vacation or fly
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: to Florida somewhere? All right, the phone lines are now
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: back up. I'm told. So, okay, now you can call.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks.
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: 330-729-9977.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: 330-729-9977.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: So our phone lines were down. We're having some, quite frankly,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: I heart is not me, infrastructure issues that are going on.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: So our phone lines are working. Frank from Fort Lauderdale
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and Jake and the folks that got disconnected, please feel
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: free to call back and make your points. And you
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: as well. All of you. 330-729-9977. So, the headlines don't
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: look good is what I'm saying. The Dow falling 500
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: points as oil jumps on fear. So, if oil jumps,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: should I not anticipate oil prices going up even more?
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Seems to go hand in hand. But
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: I do know that it has a devastating effect on everything.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: And they can't constantly say, when it comes to elections,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: it's the economy, stupid. And it is. And if people
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: want to act like this isn't a big deal, it's
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: a very big deal. Whether it's here this week or
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: next week or the week after or how long this
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: goes on, it sucks a lot of money out of
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: your wallets and out of this economy and creates a
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: lot of inflation. And did the administration misread Iran and
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: how long this would take? Because I honestly do believe
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: they thought this would be over much sooner than it is.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: And if they keep telling me Iran wants to make
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: a deal, wants to make a deal, then why are
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: we talking about doing another round of bombing and this
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff? I thought they wanted to make a deal.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Conflicting messages. You're on the air.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, how you doing?
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Your comments.
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: Hey, a little bit off topic, but I called you
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: a couple weeks ago about this morning with Gordon Deal.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: Did you find out anything?
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Frankly, I forgot all about it with the election going on.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's all right. I'll touch on the topic you
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: were talking about today.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Another important topic, just as a side note to folks,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: is tomorrow is Election Day, right? It's May 5th. So,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, if people got some comments about the election,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: because we have a lot of local elections that are
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: going on, if people have some input... on any of
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: our races, give us a call as well. The time
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: is now. Go ahead, sir. I'm sorry.
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: That's all right. What you were talking about last week
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: with being critical of Trump, and I honestly believe you
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: should be more critical of who you vote for than
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: the person you didn't. And because that is your.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Right, because you're.
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: Trying to control the person that you wanted in there
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: in the first place. But if they go off the handle,
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: which I think he's going a little bit off the handle,
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: you have absolutely every right to be critical.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: Of the guy.
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: And usually Rich is spot on with things, but I
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: was very taken back by him a little over a
• 47:59
  Speaker 6: week ago with a kind of elitist attitude of, just
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: wait it out.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: It's okay.
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: Don't worry about it.
• 48:06
  Speaker 11: No.
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: No.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: People are really hurting out there monetarily because of the
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: price of gas and other things that are still up
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: from the Biden era.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah, and you're correct. And people are saying, hey, Trump,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: get back to the affordability issue and America first issue.
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: You ran on that platform to make our lives better.
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: and yet you still haven't done anything with Ukraine to
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: shut off all that money going there. You're dumping money
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: hand over fist to Iran to try to fight something
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: over there. What are you doing about America first?
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. I'm in total agreement with that.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: America first affordability, I think, is far more important than
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: the situation in Iran. I'm with you 100%. Thank you.
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: You're on the air. Yeah, just checking.
• 49:03
  Speaker 19: Everything's good up here in Rock Creek. I can hear
• 49:05
  Speaker 19: you loud and clear.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: On the phone.
• 49:07
  Speaker 19: But Iran is all about money and nuclear power, and
• 49:14
  Speaker 19: that gives you money. It's a mafia running that country
• 49:18
  Speaker 19: over there. And as long as they got the money flowing,
• 49:22
  Speaker 19: they're okay. They can threaten nuclear all day, 7-24. But
• 49:28
  Speaker 19: it's about power and money and propaganda. But if you
• 49:32
  Speaker 19: cut off their money supply, they're going to fall. And
• 49:36
  Speaker 19: that's what Donald's doing. Donald is a genius. And our
• 49:43
  Speaker 19: Secretary of Treasury is a genius. And we won't even
• 49:48
  Speaker 19: have to put boots on the ground. You've just got
• 49:50
  Speaker 19: to be patient. And don't let those Democrats talk you different.
• 49:55
  Speaker 19: Like that one guy said, put a sock in it. Democrats,
• 49:58
  Speaker 19: put a sock in it. Donald knows what he's got.
• 50:01
  Speaker 19: He's got a great team behind him. This is amazing.
• 50:04
  Speaker 19: This is incredible what's going on in our country today,
• 50:07
  Speaker 19: in our world. Donald's going to change the whole design
• 50:12
  Speaker 19: of the world as far as power, economics, and less war.
• 50:21
  Speaker 19: You just got to hang in there. Don't let those
• 50:24
  Speaker 19: Democrats give you all that propaganda.
• 50:27
  Speaker 14: There he is.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: The words of wisdom coming from Rock Creek.
• 50:31
  Speaker 19: We've got a library levy up here. I don't know
• 50:34
  Speaker 19: what to vote for now. I just don't want them
• 50:37
  Speaker 19: to build a big Taj Mahal like they have down
• 50:39
  Speaker 19: in Louisville and Columbiana and stuff. But libraries are almost
• 50:47
  Speaker 19: a thing of the past.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, they are.
• 50:50
  Speaker 19: It's more like a community center today than a library,
• 50:54
  Speaker 19: I think. I'm struggling with it. I might not just
• 50:58
  Speaker 19: vote for it. Let the other people decide.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: No, you better go out and vote against it. I
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: appreciate your call. You're on air.
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: Hey, Ron.
• 51:09
  Speaker 14: To respond to that gentleman two callers ago that said,
• 51:12
  Speaker 14: I don't care. No, I do care. I'm like everybody else.
• 51:16
  Speaker 14: I don't like paying five bucks a gallon.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: No, but I think his point was you're in a
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: different income bracket as a lot of people, and this
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: idea of you're supposed to take it, well, how long
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: are you supposed to take it? Because it's having a
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: devastating effect on a lot of business and individuals, whether
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: it's here now for a month or two months or whatever.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I like to get your assessment, and I
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: want to sit back and listen. I keep hearing, Ron
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: wants to make a deal. Ron wants to make a deal.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: There is no deal. And it appears we're talking about
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: going back to bombing and stuff. Well, I thought Iran
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: wanted to make a deal. I thought we had them
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: right where we needed them. I mean, how long is
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: this supposed to go on with these headlines about where
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I was just reading it? Dow falls 500 points as
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: oil jumps on fear of Iran conflict. So if oil
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: prices go up, you could go beyond $ 5 a gallon.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, your assessment, please.
• 52:14
  Speaker 14: I think here's the problem in Iran. You've got people
• 52:17
  Speaker 14: that do want to make a deal.
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: And I mean, all of them.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Stand by. Just stand by. I want to come back
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: with your thoughts. Rich, the pharmacist, responds to it all.
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: When we come back after this, NewsRadio 570 WKBN. NewsRadio
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: 570 WKBN. Well, he's been under a lot of attack today.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: A lot of criticism from Rich, the pharmacist, from callers
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: and Ted, the conservative, and more today. But go ahead, Rich.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Um..
• 52:41
  Speaker 14: Here's the problem you're running into in Iran. You're dealing
• 52:44
  Speaker 14: with a bunch of religious nut jobs. And like I
• 52:47
  Speaker 14: said before, there's two camps. There's one camp that just
• 52:50
  Speaker 14: doesn't care. They just want to kill everybody and go
• 52:55
  Speaker 14: meet all and get their 72 virgins. And you have
• 52:58
  Speaker 14: the other camp that still wants that, but they also
• 53:01
  Speaker 14: realize they have a country to run in. And so
• 53:04
  Speaker 14: they want to make a deal, but the problem is
• 53:07
  Speaker 14: the people that are controlling the guns and the power
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: are mostly the religious nutjobs. So as much as those
• 53:13
  Speaker 14: people want to make a deal, the other people aren't
• 53:16
  Speaker 14: going to let them make the deal. And the thing
• 53:19
  Speaker 14: that I think Trump, if I was going to criticize
• 53:22
  Speaker 14: him with anything on this, once again, you have to
• 53:26
  Speaker 14: look at history. Look at, when you're dealing with an
• 53:30
  Speaker 14: enemy like this, probably the closest analogy we would have
• 53:33
  Speaker 14: would be the Nazis in Germany and the Japanese government
• 53:38
  Speaker 14: during World War II, where no matter how much pain
• 53:41
  Speaker 14: you inflicted on them, if you look in both instances,
• 53:45
  Speaker 14: they fought until their countries were destroyed. In Germany's case,
• 53:48
  Speaker 14: they fought until they were literally completely overrun. Japan, finally,
• 53:52
  Speaker 14: after the second nuke, said, you know, we're going to
• 53:55
  Speaker 14: bear the unbearable. and and surrender but at that point
• 53:59
  Speaker 14: they were they were still beaten to a degree that
• 54:02
  Speaker 14: we can't even comprehend today and well five dollar a
• 54:06
  Speaker 14: gallon gas is bad and i don't like it my
• 54:09
  Speaker 14: biggest fear is what what's it going to do the
• 54:11
  Speaker 14: economy three six eight months down the road uh... there
• 54:15
  Speaker 14: are some pundits now saying you know right now the
• 54:18
  Speaker 14: stock market's been a little exuberant on all mostly on
• 54:21
  Speaker 14: this artificial intelligence stuff And that's what's buoying it up. Plus,
• 54:25
  Speaker 14: earnings reports and stuff have been good. So, you know,
• 54:29
  Speaker 14: it should, with what's been going on with the Iran war,
• 54:32
  Speaker 14: you would think the market would be down 10 or 15%.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Well, it is down today. I mean, there is no
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: way that you can't tell me that this isn't affecting
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: the economy and spending. There is absolutely no way, even
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: in a short period of time. It is the main
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: thing I hear everybody bitching about on how expensive it
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: is to fill up their vehicle. And that money's got
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: to come from somewhere where they're not spending it somewhere else.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm hearing it from business as well. Small business,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: all types of businesses have raised their prices. They can't
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: absorb this.
• 55:08
  Speaker 14: I'm not going to argue that with you.
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 55:11
  Speaker 14: I can empathize with people that are hurting. It's not
• 55:13
  Speaker 14: that I don't feel for these people.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: So do you think they're sitting there worried about Iran?
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, at any point, do you criticize the Trump administration?
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: I will say it publicly. I think they thought this
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: would be over much sooner than it is. I think
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: they misread the entire thing. The backbone of Iran is say,
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: screw you. And I remember Iran saying, if you want
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: to destroy us and our economy, we can destroy you
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: and your economy too. But there's no question militarily, we're
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: doing a great job. There's no question about it at all.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: But I don't understand the Iranian people. And I don't understand,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: and it's a whole different culture from my culture, so
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: I don't have a read on them. But they keep
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: telling me, we got them right where we want them.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: We got them right where we want them. But if
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: that's the case, why are we talking about bombing them
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: again if you got them right where you want them?
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Why are you telling me there's a deal's imminent, they
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: want to make a deal? Why are you talking about
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: bombing them again if they want to make a deal?
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: What is the truth? It reminds me of Vietnam all
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: over again. What is the truth? How much do you
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: expect the American people to take of this, of $ 5 gasoline,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: or higher since oil went up again today? I'd like
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: to get your comments. Just hang in there with me,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: all right? I mean, I'm going to pick on Rich
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: the pharmacist when we come back after this. Stay tuned. Again,
• 56:36

• 58:04
  Speaker 21: Back to it.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: News Radio 570. Go ahead with your thoughts overall. I mean,
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I've given you mine. I mean, these guys could have
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: misread a lot of this. I mean, I understand they
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: know more than I do, but they really thought that
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: this would end much sooner than it did. And it's
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: not ending. They keep talking every day. I hear we
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: got a deal. Where's the deal? And today the market
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: is down. It'll go up whenever there's a deal, and
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: this is a mess, and economy's becoming a mess in
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: this country as a result of it.
• 58:45
  Speaker 14: Because it should be over. I mean, you take a
• 58:48
  Speaker 14: look at what we have done to that country in
• 58:50
  Speaker 14: the last two months. This is only two months old.
• 58:54
  Speaker 14: You know, if you look at wars before this, World
• 58:56
  Speaker 14: War II.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: This is not a war. This was not meant to...
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: We don't want to be in the Middle East. We
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: don't want to be in forever wars. He ran on that.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: So don't give me the war stuff like this should
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: go on six months or a year if it does
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: and we pay high gas prices that whole time and
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: ruin our economy like that's some justification for it. They
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: didn't go into it with that being the idea.
• 59:24
  Speaker 14: I think they went into it thinking it would be
• 59:27
  Speaker 14: over by now. And by all rights, if you were
• 59:28
  Speaker 14: dealing with normal, rational people, it would be. But you're not.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: Now, listening to your news.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: OK, but pause for a second. Pause for a second.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: But you don't understand them and their culture. You're thinking
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: like you're thinking like that's how they should think. They
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: don't think like you. I can only tell you from
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: my oldest son who said the first thing is you
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: don't understand them. You don't understand their thinking. You want
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: to think that they think like you. They do not,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: he used to say. That's the first thing you need
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: to understand.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 14: Ron, I've been saying that. That's exactly what I've been saying.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 14: You're not dealing with normal, rational people. The Arab world
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 14: is totally foreign to the Western world. We have virtually
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 14: nothing in common with them. Different rule of law, different everything. But,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 14: I mean, you would think a normal, rational country would
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 14: have capitulated by now, but they're not, and I just
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 14: said that. You know, that said, we're only two months in.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 14: One of the encouraging things that I just heard on
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 14: your news break was that they actually escorted and have
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 14: a lane cleared to get ships out. If you start
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 14: seeing them move ships out of the Strait of Hormuz
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 14: while at the same time blocking Iran in so they
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 14: can't do anything, at that point, The war may go
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 14: on for a while, but it's only hurting Iran because
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 14: you're going to start to see traffic move out of
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 14: the street again and hopefully start to give us some
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 14: relief on this.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: Well, some of these people say, well, it's not going
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: to just hurt. Iran, it's going to hurt China with
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: its oil. It's going to hurt India.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: No, let me finish. It's going to create starvation in
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Africa because of fertilizer. And those problems are going to
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: cause an oil guy that I was reading over the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: weekend says, you've got a problem with an oil shortage.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: That's what your problem is. And you're going to see
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: the cost of oil continue to go up. So you
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: can say, good, good, but it's not good if it
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: means you're paying $ 5. 50 or $ 6 a gallon.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 14: If they start getting oil out of the Gulf, if
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 14: they can start to get those big super tankers moving
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 14: and start getting oil delivered the way it was, even
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 14: to 50% of what it was before the war, you're
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 14: going to see oil come down. There's plenty of oil
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 14: in the world. Before this, why do you think prices
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 14: were so low before?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. Why are they so high now?
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 5: Because 20% of the world's oil hasn't left in the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: last two months.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: But about the other 80%.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: Well, the other 80% is being shared now. It's supply
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: and demand. Go back to economics. This is simple macroeconomics.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: As supply goes down, price goes up. As supply goes up,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: price goes down. So if supply starts to come back on,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: if they can start to get a lot of these
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: big tankers moving and start delivering oil to the rest
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: of the world, that means the Europeans aren't going to
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: be sending tankers over to our country to buy it.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: They're not going to be sending tankers over to Brazil
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: and Venezuela to buy oil.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the time frame?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 14: They're going to start getting it out of the Middle East.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: That's all well and good, but when?
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 14: Well, like I said, today they just said on your
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 14: news break that today they were able to get a
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 14: lane open and cleared so that they can get it out.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 14: whether those boats are going to risk it. I mean,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 14: if I'm a Greek tanker owner and I own a
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 14: billion-dollar boat, I'm probably not going to be the first
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 14: guy to take a boat loaded with a million, two
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 14: million barrels of oil, whatever they hold, through the strait
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 14: and have Iran hit it somehow. But if they can
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 14: establish that this lane is clear and if they can
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 14: start to move traffic through it, you're going to start
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 14: to see relief from this. The converse of that is,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 14: if the Iranians are able to start hitting boats and
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 14: they can't get things moving, it's going to keep going up.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 14: And you just don't know. Right now, you would think
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 14: the United States, with its military superiority, should be able
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 14: to open that strait. And if they do and they
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 14: start to get stuff moving, I think you'll start to
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 14: see some relief. But once again, it's not going to
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 14: be overnight.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Do you think the United States military is going to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: be there forever to do this? Because at some point
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: they're going to leave. I mean, keep in mind, Iran
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: is saying that. I'm just trying to say what the
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: other side is saying. They're saying sooner or later you're
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: going to leave. And that's true.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 14: Well, maybe it's time. I think one of the other
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 14: things that, you know, right now Saudi Arabia and UAE
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 14: are both exporting a decent amount of oil through the
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 14: Red Sea. They've got pipelines that go over there. That's
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 14: why it isn't worse, actually, because there's still some oil
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 14: getting out of the Middle East. I think long term,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 14: a year or two from now, you're going to see
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 14: pipelines built through Iraq into Turkey to get into Europe.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you people are not going to
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: put up with this crap a year or two from now.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you, I.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 14: Think by this fall you're going to see, and this
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 14: is a big if, if they can get this straight open,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 14: by August, September, you're going to see gas prices back
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 14: down in probably the three, three and a quarter, 375
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 14: a gallon range, depending upon how much oil they can
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 14: start to float out of there.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: It's simple supply and demand.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: I understand that. Here's simple supply and demand. This is
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: affecting the American economy right now. Period. I don't care
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: about a month from now or two months from now.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Right now, it's affecting it. At $ 5 a gallon or
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: at $ 4. 85.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 14: This is that sign when you have little kids and
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 14: you go into a..
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. I'm just trying to give you..
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 14: We broke it.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: We broke it.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 14: Now we've got to own it and fix it. So
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 14: you can see we can bellyache about it all day long.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 5: And I agree. I'm not trying to minimize the pain
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: people are.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Listen, I will be. Listen, I voted for Trump. I
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: vote for him again. The good far outweighs the bad.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: But is a fair discussion to say, was this a
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: mistake from the very beginning? Well, that's to be debated
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: after this is concluded, because you're in it right now.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: You're in it at this point in time. But I
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: think it's a fair conclusion, and you agree, they misread
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: this situation. They thought it would be over much sooner
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: than it has been, and it isn't. I think Trump.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: Thought it would be over.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 14: I don't think, I think from a lot of the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 14: stuff I've read on the military, they gave, they told him.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 5: Look, you know, when we go in.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Trump's calling the shots.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 5: We're going to close the strait. And he gambled. He
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: rolled the dice and he gambled. And, you know, this
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: time it didn't work for him.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 14: At least so far. What I'm saying is long term,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 14: I think this probably will work out to our advantage
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 14: long term.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Short term, it sucks.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 5: Short term, it sucks. There's no other way to say it.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: And what's short term? I think if people said, okay,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: let's see, May 15th, everything's starting to get, the market's
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: going back up, oil prices are coming back down, we
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: see relief coming. But There's no sign of that. I mean,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: are you the least bit concerned that you're constantly hearing
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: they want to make a deal, they want to make
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: a deal, and there's no deal?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 14: No, that's because that's the way those people are. Not
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 14: only that, when they make the deal, they lie. Remember,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 14: the Iranian foreign minister said the street is open. And
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 14: then the other people that actually control the guns said, no,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 14: it isn't. So in one day, oil went down, what
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 14: was it, $ 10, $ 12 a barrel. two, three weeks ago
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 14: when they said it was open for a day. And
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 14: then the very next day it was closed because the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 14: people who control the guns said, we're not agreeing to this.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 14: And they closed it down again. They threatened ships.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: You're not dealing with rational people.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: No, you're dealing, you keep saying that. You're dealing with
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: their culture. They don't think you're rational. Stop trying to
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: say you're not dealing with rational people. That's who they are.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: You knew that going in there. It's a whole different culture.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Stop saying you're not dealing with rational people. They don't
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: think you're rational.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 8: They think, who are you.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: To tell us we can't have a nuclear weapon? This
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: is our country. We're 93 million people. Who the hell
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: are you to tell us that? And they think, you
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: think you want to do that to us? We'll do
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: this to you. Who was it? Was it Robert Kennedy
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: or John F. Kennedy that said, you better understand the enemies,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: where the enemy's coming from when you get into these situations.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: You better understand what their mindset is.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 14: And that would be fine if we were studying going
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 14: to war with Iran now.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: You're in a war with them right now.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 14: Hillary Clinton, at this point, what difference does it make?
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 14: Because you're in the war.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Well, because..
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 14: You can go through the coulda, shoulda, woulda, but right
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 14: now we're in it. You're going to have to persevere
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 14: and get through it. Because the worst thing you could
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 14: do right now would be to just pull out and
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 14: just say, you know what, we're going home. At that point,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 14: then Iran does control the strait. They start charging a
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 14: million or two million dollars about tariffs, which generates... I
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 14: forget what it was, 50 or 100 billion dollars a
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 14: year for them.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: And how come they didn't do that?
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 14: Money to buy whatever they need to buy.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: How come they didn't do that before the war?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 14: I don't think they realized how much money they could
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 14: actually make if they controlled the strait. Plus, they probably
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 14: figured nobody's going to let them control the strait.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: So did we create a monster?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 14: No, well, I mean, the monster is atrophying. The monster
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 14: is in a death by.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: The wayside right now.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: We're just waiting for it to die.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, when the American ships leave, who will control the strait?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 14: That's almost more of a world issue than a U.S.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 14: issue or a Gulf issue. Maybe the Arab countries need
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 14: to start hiring some people or developing their own navy
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 14: and resources to do it.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 14: I don't think, like I've said, when this is all
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 14: said and done, I'm for basically just bringing everybody home
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 14: from everywhere they're at and just disengaging from most of
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 14: the rest of the world. Because I don't think it
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 14: is our job to be the world policeman anymore. I'm
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 14: tired of it. I'm tired of losing American lives. I'm
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 14: tired of spending American money. And I'm tired of doing that,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 14: and then the rest of the world still can't stand us.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 14: So just the heck with them. Let Europe worry about
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 14: Europe if Putin invades and takes them over? I really
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 14: don't care at this point. They almost deserve it because
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 14: they're a bunch of... with their arrogance.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: It's their oil. The oil that comes out of that
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: Gulf mostly goes to Europe, and yet they won't lift
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: a finger.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: I hear you saying that, but on the other hand,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: they say, but you're paying $ 5 a gallon because it's
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: a global market. So when you say it's only 20%
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: of the oil and it's their oil, yeah, but look
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: at what's happening to your price.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 14: Well, because they're sending tankers over here to buy my
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 14: oil now. That's the problem. So that's what's driving our
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 14: price up. Like I said, through 2016, from I think
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 14: it was 1974 to 2016, you couldn't export American oil.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 14: If you just put that law back in, even temporarily,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 14: if you said, well, we're going to do it until
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 14: this war ends itself, our price would drop overnight.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 5: It would plummet.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 14: And the rest of the world would skyrocket.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: Right, but in 1974, we stopped exporting oil. When you say...
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: I forget what you said about their culture. Would you
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: say that the caller that called attacking you that said,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: you don't understand his situation because you make a lot
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: more money than he does and the effect this is
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: having on him. He said, basically, that caller was saying,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: you don't understand his culture, his situation in America as
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: your fellow American.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 14: This isn't the first energy crisis.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: No, but he's saying you can weather it much better,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: these increase, because you make a lot of money. He's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: saying he's just your.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: Bag of donuts.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 14: I don't have the expenses I used to have.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: I'm old.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 14: If you look at where the money comes from, it's
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 14: mostly with the older people.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: He's talking about your income as a pharmacist versus his
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: as a worker.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 14: And like I said, I empathize with people. I work
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 14: with people who don't make anywhere near the money I
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 14: make that are hurting, that they drive every day and
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 14: they're paying the $ 4. 50, $ 5 a gallon gas. I don't,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 14: I anymore wonder how people actually are able to live
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 14: their lives.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, think of the cost of this.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: Think of like, for example, just school systems refilling their
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: diesel tanks up for their school buses. And how much
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: more that costs. Think about farmers. How much more that
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: costs to run those diesel tractors. Think about trucking companies.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: How much more that's costing. Think about regular gas. How
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: much that's costing Amazon to deliver your package. Or people
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: that have to drive distances to work and back. This
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: is an immediate effect. This isn't, oh, it's no big deal.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: This is an immediate effect on the economy. And it's...
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it'll go down.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 14: I understand that, but the point is we're in the
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 14: middle of this. There's nothing you can do but to
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 14: finish it at this point. The fastest way to get
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 14: it back down is to finish it as quickly as
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 14: you can. You can't go back. The decision was made
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 14: to do it. You can armchair quarterback and second guess
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 14: all you want. It's over and done with.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: One of the things I thought an interesting observation for
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: the G2 made is When is Scott going? He says, well,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: you better be careful it doesn't finish Trump's presidency with
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: the midterms.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 14: I think we were in trouble with the midterms anyway.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: But the American first agenda and affordability and everything, remember
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: that was what G2' s biggest concern was, taking your eye
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: off the ball, affordability, getting prices down. That's what you
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: were elected on, securing the border. You weren't elected on
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: this situation you created with Iran. Richard Farmacist taking a
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: lot of heat today from callers, Richard. They're coming after you.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 14: Take care, Ron.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 5: I'll be back.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 8: All right. 570 WKBN.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: All right. 456 News Radio, 570 WKBN. Ron Fripp, Stadium
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: GM in the heart of Salem. As a customer, I
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: encourage you to go to a dealership which you just
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: find refreshing, quite frankly. Mike Hudak runs the operation. Shorty
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: Navarro owns it. It's not part of some big conglomerate.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: It isn't. It's locally owned and operated. It's Stadium GM.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: They carry all that General Motors makes. Buick, Cadillac, GMC,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: Chevrolet under one roof. So it's all right there, whether
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: you're leasing or buying, whether you're looking for new or used.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: And when I talked to you about in 2017, my
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: wife and daughter purchased their Cruzes at Stadium GM, we
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: couldn't have been treated better. And you'll find the same experience.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: And then my wife bought a Chevy Equinox this year
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: at Stadium GM. And it's just such a simple process.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: They want your business, they want to keep your business,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: and they want the rest of your family's business for
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: generation after generation. It's always been a philosophy at Stadium GM.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: And that's how they treat you from the service departments
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: to the sales departments. It's just how they run the operation.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: I think you'll find it refreshing. If you go online
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: at stadiumgm.com, you can see all their products, new, used,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Carfax reports, fair pricing on your used cars, trucks, SUVs.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: So I know it can be a daunting task. And
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: I know it can be something that you don't look
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: forward to when it comes to purchasing your next vehicle.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: But I think I can make it a little bit
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: better for you by sharing with you Stadium GM in
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: the heart of Salem. The experience that we had as
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: a family that I think you'll have as a family
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: as well. And how Mike Hudak runs that operation. And
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: how refreshing you'll find it to be.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: I think you'll enjoy it. Stadium GM in the heart
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: of Salem. You're on the air.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 7: Ron, would you like to know what Iran is thinking?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 7: I will enlighten you.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: Good!
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 10: And they watch..
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 7: They watch the same news you and I do. They're
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 7: listening to Democrats in our media whine and cry about
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 7: the war, and they know that there's that 60-day deadline
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 7: that just expired, and if they can just hold out
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 7: a little bit longer, Congress is going to make Trump stop,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 7: and then they can go right back to business as usual.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, is that what they're thinking?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: That's what they're thinking. And if it gets worse enough..
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: Stand by. Stand by. Let me do my headlines. I
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: want to come back and hear more of what you
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: have to say after this.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 23: From ABC News, I'm Lindsay Davis, anchor of Prime, streaming
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 23: weeknights on ABC News Live. President Trump says the war
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 23: in Iran is going very well, despite the United Arab
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 23: Emirates saying it's been intercepting significant fire from Iran today.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. They
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: have no anti-aircraft equipment. They have no radar. They have
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: no nothing. They have no leaders, actually.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 23: Increased hostilities have put pressure on an already fragile ceasefire
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 23: in the region as the U.S. military begins escorting commercial
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 23: ships through the Strait of Hormuz. ABC's Louis Martinez.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 24: The effort here is to provide a defensive shield, and
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 24: to that point earlier today, we understand that the United
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 24: States military brought down some drones, brought down some cruise missiles,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 24: and destroyed some six small Iranian craft that were targeting
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 24: commercial shipping.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 23: It's all put increased pressure on gas prices, with the
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 23: average price for a barrel of Brent crude up nearly 6%
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 23: today to close at its highest level since the summer
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 23: of 2022. And economist Joe Bruce Welles says the increased
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 23: fuel costs are just the beginning.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 25: Those increasing gasoline prices cause everything that needs to be
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 25: delivered to get more expensive. And guess where it's going
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 25: to show up most clearly? It's going to be in food.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 23: Cole Allen was in court today. He's the California man
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 23: accused of trying to assassinate President Trump at the White
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 23: House Correspondents Center last month.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 26: This hearing was called by Cole Allen's defense attorneys because
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 26: he was put on suicide watch inside Pennsylvania.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 21: These D.C.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 26: Corrections facilities. Now, he was ultimately taken off suicide watch,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 26: but the prosecutor for the government at least said in
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 26: court that in his writings that he sent to family
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 26: before attempting to carry out that attack, that he made
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 26: it seem like he would not survive the attack, noting
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 26: that that would be a reason to keep him on
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 26: suicide watch.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 23: ABC's Catherine Falders and Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 23: agreed to settle their legal dispute over alleged abuse that
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 23: took place on the set of the movie It Ends
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 23: With Us. You're listening to ABC News.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: Back to it, NewsRadio 570, Dodie Covey, and Iran Ferb.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: So you say, well, they're watching the same news that
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: you're watching in Iran.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 5: Obviously.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 7: I mean, if they're smart, they would. And I'm sure
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 7: they do. And it's all negative about the war. And basically,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: if it goes to Congress, it's going to get shut down.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 7: So just hang on a little while longer and don't
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: make a deal with Trump.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. What do you think they should do?
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: Iran? Yeah.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: Or us?
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: The whole situation.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 7: We need to get it approved to be there as
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 7: long as it takes. And then Iran is going to say, yeah,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 7: we ain't got the fortitude for this because we can't
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 7: hold out much longer. But they can hold out short term.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: How do you know that to be true? I would
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: just ask you. I mean, is that an assumption on
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: your part? Assumption?
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's listening to your intelligent callers.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, I would think they would have buckled sooner.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: Remember when they dropped the bunker buster, that bomb? And
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: that was supposedly... Well, yeah. That took care of it.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 7: Right from the start of this, the media has been
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 7: crying about this. This can only last 60 days and
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 7: they need congressional approval.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: But those are the rules. I mean, that's not– I mean, listen,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: I don't care if it's Biden or Trump. I mean,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: you're not– you truly aren't a king or a dictator
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: that you can do this stuff without, at that point, without.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 7: I'm worried that he's not going to get the backing
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 7: to continue on, and then we've got to walk away
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 7: spending all that money for nothing, and Iran goes right
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 7: back to business as usual. We can't let him do that.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: At some point, you're going to leave, though, right? Let
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: me counter your argument a little bit and get your
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: reaction to things. So is it possible that we don't
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: understand Iran's culture? So often previously, I think we could
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: say as a country, we misread the Middle East tremendously.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: And we have a proven track record that we didn't
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: understand the Middle East tremendously. And the so-called regime changes
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: have all been dismal failures. And they thought maybe this
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: time it would be different and it would be quick.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: And they would throw the towel in. And they didn't.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: So if I said to you, I think they're surprised
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: they didn't throw the towel in as quick as they did.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm surprised they haven't thrown a towel in at
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: this point in time, me personally speaking. I'm surprised they
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: haven't thrown a towel in yet. So should I conclude
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: they got some degree of resolve to say they haven't
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: done it with all this bombing, they haven't done it
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: with the blockade, they haven't done it with the finances
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: of it, and I don't know that they're sitting around
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: watching Fox News. Maybe it's just a culture we don't understand.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a culture that says, United States of America,
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: you're not going to tell us whether or not we
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: can have a nuclear weapon. We're our own country, 93
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: million people. United States, we can inflict a lot of
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: financial harm on you. Well, they've said that publicly. If
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: you want to inflict it on us, you just wait
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: and see. I mean, Iran's basically saying we got some
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: cards to play here, too. And are they playing those?
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: I would like to think that Trump's got him by
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: the manhood. I would like to think he's got a
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: tight hold on him.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 7: I think he does, but they are looking at it thinking,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 7: if we can just hold on a little bit longer,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 7: this is going to be over and he's going to
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 7: have to quit.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that might be true.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 7: Because there's no support here in the United States, according
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 7: to the news.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: And I don't think there is. I don't think, according
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: to the news, I don't think there is a lot
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: of support for it in the United States. I mean,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: I genuinely do not think a lot of people are
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: supporting this at all.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 7: And as far as leaving, our boats can float around
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 7: anywhere in the oceans. Why not leave a few of
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 7: them there to just maintain the straight?
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: How long?
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 7: It ain't going to cost anything if they're just floating around.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 7: It costs the same to burn whatever they burn to
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 7: float them boats around in the middle of the Atlantic
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 7: as it would to float around in the Persian Gulf
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 7: and the Strait of Hormuz just have a presence. It
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 7: don't cost anything more as long as we ain't shooting missiles.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: So you say the U.S. has got to..
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 7: We're going to float somewhere.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: So you think the biggest enemy are the Democrats and
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: the timeline?
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: All right. How long do you think the American people
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: will tolerate high gas prices?
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 7: We don't have.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: A choice. Oh, I think you have a choice. Unfortunately, sometimes.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: Don't ever forget when they said it's the economy, stupid.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: That's very true. People, do you think that there could
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: be a choice that you would see in November?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 21: Probably. Probably.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 7: And if the Democrats get back in charge, we'll be
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 7: apologizing to Iran and giving them reparations for Trump's illegal war.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: Nothing would surprise me. Nothing would surprise me. I'm in
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: total agreement with you there. I would never vote, ever,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: for a Democrat. I'd never vote for Sherrod Bond. I'd
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: never vote for the Democrats at all. But unfortunately, sometimes
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: people do that, and... I don't understand it because I
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: don't think they would make it better. They would just
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: make it a lot worse. I would agree with that.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: All right. Thank you. Appreciate your comments. I thought he
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: made a good point. You're on the air.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 27: Here's my only thing. I don't know what I don't know,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 27: but I was told in June that all the nuclear bombs, missiles,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 27: everything was gone. And now, February, we've got to go back.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 27: So was I lied to then when they were gone
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 27: and they weren't really gone? Or now they say there's
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 27: nuclear dust. How long does it take to make a
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 27: bomb that's going to hit Israel or the U.S. with
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 27: nuclear dust? Now, Ron Verb, if you were Donald Trump
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 27: behind the Resolute Desk and you were presented all.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 28: Of this, Mr.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 27: Trump, we have to go into Iran right now.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 28: Well, wait a second.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 27: Didn't we take care of everything? Yes, it's all dust.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 14: Well, wait a second.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 27: Why are we going to Iran if it's dust? How
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 27: long does it take to make a nuclear missile from dust?
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 27: So that's my only thing. I just wish we knew more.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 27: On top of that, I could really sit here and
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 27: argue with you why we should be there, and I
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 27: could argue with you why we shouldn't be there. The
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 27: one thing I'll push back on, given what you were
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 27: talking to Rich about, would be their culture. We have
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 27: a lot of people in this country who have a
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 27: different culture than what you would call American norms or
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 27: American standards.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 14: What are we supposed to do?
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 27: Just let them have these weapons and cause havoc on
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 27: the community? and just not do anything about it because
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 27: we didn't take care of it in 60 days, and
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 27: let them just keep threatening us, that goes on forever.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 27: I'm not saying we should be in Iran forever, but
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 27: what happens if Congress says we can't be there and
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 27: we leave tomorrow? Does everything just go back to business
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 27: as usual? Does China just keep going back and getting
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 27: oil from Iran? Does the rest of the Middle East?
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you that question. Based on our
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: track record, what do you see?
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 27: Well, based on our track record, the last two months
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 27: or the last 30 years?
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: No, our track record, yeah. I mean, I don't know
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: if you want to go back 30 years, but in
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: the Middle East, I suspect you could go back to
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: Vietnam as well because we simply left there, too.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 27: Here's my thing on this, too. We went in there
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 27: on day one and bombed everything, and Israel went in.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 27: Why isn't Israel... Where's their navy? Why aren't they going
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 27: through first clear and everything? Because just like you said, too,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 27: I never lost a minute of sleep at night wondering
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 27: if Iran was going to hit us with a nuclear warhead.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 27: But at the same time, Trump is a whole different breed.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 27: He never wants to look bad. If he doesn't look bad,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 27: then America does good.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 14: And at the end of the day..
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 27: I'm sure in the back of his mind he thought,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 27: you know, if I go to Iran now, there's still
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 27: a chance, even if he thinks everything he does is 100% right,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 27: unavoidable chance of failure. In the back of his mind,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 27: and even everybody in the military had to say, this
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 27: is what could happen. They present, even if the president
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 27: makes a decision, they present these things to him. He
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 27: has to know that gas prices go up.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 12: He said it himself.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 27: He said he's surprised gas.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 28: Is at war.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 27: The stock market's not down more. The thing I don't
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 27: like is, I just want to know why we're there,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 27: for what reason concrete? Because I just don't like hearing that.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 27: That's the thing that frustrates me the most is this
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 27: nuclear dust thing. What are we going in to clear
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 27: up the nuclear dust? Are we going to airlift excavators
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 27: and dig it all up and put a caution tape
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 27: around it until we get it all out? To what point?
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 27: And I'm just saying two things. the same time, now
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 27: we're there, what are we supposed to do, just stop now?
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 27: Where's the rest of the Middle East? What are they doing?
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 27: You know, the UAE, that's their whole entire economy. Saudi Arabia,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 27: that's their economy. They're still pumping out some oil, but
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 27: not as much.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 5: That's why they left OPEC.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 27: I don't understand what the endgame is, and I'm not
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 27: going to pretend to know it because I don't know
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 27: what I don't know. This can change next week, for
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 27: all we know. I have no clue. But when the
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 27: war games were going on with how we would invade
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 27: Iran or get their nuclear weapons, I'm sure at some point, again,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 27: it was the closure of the.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 5: Strait of Hormuz.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 27: I think the drone factor has completely changed all of war.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 27: You can look at what Russia and Ukraine... Drones are
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 27: just the new standard of war now. And when you
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 27: can send a drone that's $ 30, 000 from Iran that's hidden
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 27: off at the Strait of Hormuz and you hit a U.S.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 27: Navy ship and a bunch of armed service members die, yeah,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 27: that's not going to be good. I don't know what
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 27: the end game is, but if it ends tomorrow, are
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 27: we just going to go right back to where we were?
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 27: I don't understand why we didn't just bomb them in June.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 27: We said it was gone.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 5: It's dust.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 27: If you ever start rebuilding it again, we'll do the
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 27: same thing again.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, look what we did.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: So you're talking with the bunker buster. You thought it was,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: we dropped it. That was supposedly, that accomplished everything we needed.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: Everything's destroyed. And you're saying, so what happened?
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 27: Why didn't you close down the Strait of Hormuz after
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 27: the bunker buster?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 13: Why didn't they do it then?
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 27: And are they going to keep, you know, quote-unquote charging
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 27: and just the threat of anything?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: Well, some of the critics say, look, he's now created
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: a monster because they didn't, they hadn't done that. But
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: now they're saying, well, wait a minute. Now they realize
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: what another avenue that they have available to them.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 27: I keep hearing these 12 days, 22 days until their oil,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 27: they have no more storage, they can't pump, and then
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 27: the water infiltrates their oil reserves and they can't do
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 27: anything for years.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 13: If that's legitimate..
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 27: Then Iran really does have to make a decision. Do
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 27: they want to never be able to pump oil? And look,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 27: I mean, I guess China and Russia might be sending
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 27: them some supplies.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 27: But have we heard anything out of their allies, Russia
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 27: and China? Russia's, you know, without saying, in Ukraine, and
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 27: China really just wants to sell cheap.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 5: Stuff all over the world.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 27: I don't think they want to get involved in anything
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 27: because they have 50-year, 100-year plans. But Iran has no friends.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 27: That's what I don't understand, even with the rest of
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 27: the Middle East.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 28: Where are they?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 27: And I'm telling you, I keep going back to Israel.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 27: We went in with them on day one, and I
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 27: haven't heard anything since then. I'm sure stuff is going on. Again,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 27: I don't know what I don't know. But they were
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 27: going to get a nuclear bomb to hit it at
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 27: Israel first. I think Israel should be going in and
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 27: taking care of this with their navy.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 13: Open that up.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 27: A lot of it just makes no sense to me.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 27: I just wish I had a clear, concise reason.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about how long you think Americans
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: will tolerate.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 29: This?
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 27: If you keep looking back at interest rates, and I've
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 27: said this a few times, that 10-year Treasury rate right
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 27: now is at 4.45%. Anytime it gets just below 4.5%,
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 27: something happens. When Liberation Day happened in April of last year,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 27: the market tanked and interest rates went through the roof.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 27: Right when it hit 4.5%, that's when they backed off
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 27: the tariffs. We did this ceasefire. It was right when
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 27: interest rates were right at 4.5%. Something probably is going
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 27: to come off the table, push the goalposts further down.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 27: I don't know, but Trump is losing. He's going to
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 27: start losing credibility when you hit the nail on the head. Oh,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 27: we have a deal. We don't have a deal.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: We have a deal.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 27: We don't have a deal. At this point, this far in,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 27: you tell these people at this point, I don't know,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 27: whoever's in charge, either you make a deal and you
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 27: have until this time, and then we're just going to
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 27: do to you what we did to everybody else. I
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 27: don't know if there's just another hundred people in line
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 27: to take up the next position, or maybe they really
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 27: have no clue. It would be nice if Trump came
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 27: and did an address to the nation at 9 o'clock
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 27: at night and just laid out a clear, concise, three-minute speech,
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 27: turned around and walked away. That's really what I would like,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 27: because I just have no clue what's going on. And
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 27: like I said, I could speculate in one direction why
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 27: we should be there and why we should keep doing
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 27: this and why we never should have gone at the
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 27: same time.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 14: It's a cluster. It's a quagmire.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 27: I don't know what you want to call it.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 10: We could be having.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 27: This conversation next week and say, oh, my gosh, it
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 27: actually worked.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 9: They did this.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 13: They did that.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 27: We're doing this. All of this has opened back up.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 27: But it's not like gas prices are going to come
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 27: straight down because you've got futures markets. Oil is priced 30-day, 60-day,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 27: 90-day down the road. I'm not really sure why gas
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 27: was at $ 4.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 14: 85, $ 0.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 27: 99, whatever you want to call it, when oil was
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 27: $ 100 a barrel. I was seeing reports that that never
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 27: should have been that high, even at $ 100 a barrel.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 27: I have no clue, because I just don't know what
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 27: I don't know.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. All right, thank you. Believe it
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: or not, I think that was well said. I think
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting there taking in everything you had to say.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I don't know. But you do
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: lose credibility when all last week, well, Iran wants to
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: make a deal. They're in talks. They want to make
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: a deal. Well, if they want to make a deal,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: why isn't there a deal? If they want to make
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: a deal, why are we talking about doing more bombing?
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: I thought we had them right where we needed them.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: It's like there's so many mixed signals here. And then
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: you see a huge down markets today. And then you
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: see oil prices, the price of oil going up. And
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: that's not good for my fatigued wallet. How about yours?

• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: mega dealerships, got to have a gazillion locations. and the
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: overhead that comes with it, and the lack of personal
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: care that comes with it. No, Stadium GM, locally owned

• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: to build it, I can tell you, as a customer,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: in 2017 and in 2026. Great selection, great service departments. Overall,

  Speaker 2: Yes, I am.

  Speaker 3: Yes, I am.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: You've been talking about the Cavaliers. I've been ignoring you.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: I've been saying I'm focused on the Guardians. I almost
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: feel as though I should publicly apologize to Dick from
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: Dayton because you've been Cavs all the way.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 8: And look..
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: How happy were you yesterday?
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 12: Oh, I've never seen that place that crazy.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, the people were just, I put it, you know,
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: about the second half, I.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 28: Was watching the news and stuff.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 5: But I watched it.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 28: They just looked remarkable, didn't they?
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 5: They just kept going on.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 13: You know?
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.

  Speaker 1: Yes.

  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 28: Now, the big trip.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 12: I say they do good.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 5: They'll do good on this trip.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 7: I'm convinced.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: You're convinced?
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 5: Bring it home, buddy.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: You know what I thought of yesterday when the Cavs won?
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 2: Dick from Dayton.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, good.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: Nice. Boy, Dick from Dayton's got to be happy. Although,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: you know, basketball playoffs go on forever, don't they? Good God.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 13: Yes, they go forever.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the problem. It's like... I mean, it's like, jeez, Luis. Yeah,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: they go on forever. But the Cavs, yes. The Cavs victorious.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: Now on to the next one. Now on to the
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: next one. And Dick from Dayton, you have been correct
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: on your focus on that. I'm just into baseball and
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: the Guardians. You understand.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they're doing pretty good, aren't they?
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, they are. They lost last night, though, didn't they?
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: All right, Tiger.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, bye-bye.

  Speaker 1: What a pleasure following Dick from Dayton, two-time Caller of

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

  Speaker 31: according to CENTCOM, also firing cruise missiles at U.S.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 13: Military ships and..
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 31: At cargo vessels near to the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 31: saying all of those missiles were shot down and none
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 31: of the vessels were destroyed. And CENTCOM also saying they
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 31: destroyed six small Iranian gunboats.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 4: Oil prices were up on the increased hostilities today as
• 2:03:05

• 2:03:07
  Speaker 4: now sits at over $ 4.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: 40 a gallon.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 4: Economist Joe Bruce-Swellis says Americans will feel that and not
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 4: just at the gas pump.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 25: Think of everything that you buy that involves plastic. You
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 25: like your broccoli and plastic that you buy from Costco?
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 25: That's going to get more expensive. Hey, American moms, those
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 25: disposable diapers you get from Walmart, they're going to jump
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 25: in price, too. So we're going to get a little
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 25: bit of a modest inflation shock here.

• 2:03:45
  Speaker 32: Supreme Court basically has not taken a position just yet.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 32: And what they're deciding is whether or not they think
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 32: the state of Louisiana is likely to prevail in challenging
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 32: the safety of how Mifepristone is distributed. So by next
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 32: week sometime, the Supreme Court is likely to weigh in
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 32: and either extend this day or snapping back to pre-2023 guidelines.

  Speaker 4: And it looks like the case between Blake Lively and

• 2:04:43

• 2:04:49
  Speaker 31: potentially escape east through the Strait of Hormuz. We saw
