  Speaker 1: So you're a corrections officer. Are you still currently one?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: No, I spent time at the County Sheriff's Department from
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: 2000 to 2012. Now I've advanced in my career. And again,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to say exactly what city I work for.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to say. You can remain anonymous.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: But go ahead.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Ron, there's big differences of law enforcement. And what I'm
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: saying is the conversation you had yesterday with, I believe,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the boss lady... was that you were saying that correction
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: officers should not be considered law enforcement.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: In other words, listen to what I'm saying to you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Listen to what I'm saying to you. Take pride in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: what you do. When you give a false, I believe
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: a false impression of your retired from federal law enforcement,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you want to give the impression you're not the FBI,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you're not the U.S. Marshal. And even when I was
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: listening to you talk, And you're talking about these guys
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that you were dealing with that were in the prison system, correct?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, you were mentioning those. Some cop had to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: arrest them. But when they arrested them, you have them
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in a controlled environment. They had to deal with them
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on the street. And they had to arrest them. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: this day and age, I don't think it's always been
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: dangerous to be a state trooper or a police officer.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And I get the impression from you that I don't know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: how you could view it any other way. Any state
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: trooper who's out there that stops a car doesn't know
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: who's behind the wheel. Do they just murder someone? Is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: there a body in a trunk? Is the guy pissed
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: off and going to shoot him? It's not a controlled environment.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And it's usually one state trooper out there on that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: highway pulling that car over. It's a very dangerous situation
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to be in. No, I'm not done with you. Just
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: as any of these cops in Boardman, which is a suburb,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: have their hands full with everything from shoplifters to serious
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: crime and murder that takes place, as they do in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the city of Youngstown. But when you're talking about all
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: these scoundrels that you had in prison, those cops... arrested
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: those people and they put them in there. They weren't
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: always just pulling over some 80-year-old lady, as you imply.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Not that traffic laws don't deserve to be enforced. If
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you have an 80-year-old lady that's going the wrong way
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: down a road, she should be pulled over. I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they're also, you know, part of policing is traffic enforcement.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: whether you're a state trooper or a local officer. It's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: also all the other crimes that take place and domestics. Well,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a domestic shouldn't be a big deal, but how many
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: officers are killed when they pull up to a domestic?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: For your implication to act like that isn't a dangerous profession.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And probably one of the most dangerous professions where they
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: put on a bulletproof vest, where they have the power
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to arrest and be second-guessed if they shoot somebody. You
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: can see what has gone on. You can see how
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: many officers have died in the profession last year. And unfortunately,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it continues to grow. So take pride in what you do,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: but don't try to imply that you– don't try to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: mix the– How do I say it? Don't try to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: mix in with everything. If you're a corrections officer, you're
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a corrections officer. That means you work in a jail.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: A police officer is out there, and at least the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: police officers in my area, I don't know anything about you,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: have their hands full, usually are understaffed. And they have
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to deal with the unknown and arresting people. And you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: don't know what type of situation they're in. It's a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: much different environment to be in. But all the people
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that you're bitching about were arrested by that cop that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: were put in jail that you say are so dangerous
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. Well, that cop had to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: deal with them out on the street where they didn't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: give a damn if they killed that cop or not. Period.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: But all you think is these cops around here are
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: pulling over 80-year-old women. Well, you ought to come to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: any of these suburbs out here.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Is the dispatcher law enforcement? Is the CSI investigators? Are
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the scientists?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: No, no. They're dispatchers. They're dispatchers. They are dispatchers. They
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: are corrections officers. Take pride in the label that you have.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And don't imply that we're all part of the same team.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: You're not. It's different roles. It's like, well, I can
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: say we're all broadcasters. I'm not a journalist. I'm not Dan, rather.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a talk show host.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Everything they say, do I call you a glorified reporter?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: No, because I'm not a glorified reporter. I'm not a journalist.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I do a talk show. So, in other words, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: take pride in what I do. It sounds to me...
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Like you took pride in what you did, and that's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: what you should brag about. You should brag about whatever
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it was that you did. You worked in Cuyahoga County
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in a jail or whatever as a corrections officer, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it was very dangerous, and you take pride in that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: But don't try to imply to me that you're something
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: else other than not that we don't need guys that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: work in a jail. But they don't have the power
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to arrest. They don't have the power that a cop does.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Do you know what you're saying? A police officer might
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: have a situation three, four, five times a day where
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they actually have interpersonal communication skills where they're talking to somebody. Yes,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it could be a dangerous person. Correctional officers are the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: biggest part of the machine of law.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, you and I are just going to disagree.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I just think it's dangerous for a police officer. It
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: is the unknown. And you're dealing in a known environment.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in a controlled environment. Police officers are not dealing in
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: a controlled environment.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Period.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You took one sentence that I said, and you completely
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: ignored the fact that you said correctional officers were not
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: part of law enforcement. They're glorified security guards.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: No, the boss lady said that. Once again, get your
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: ears straight. The boss lady said that. I didn't say that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I say you don't imply that if you want to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: imply in this particular thing that you're something that you're not.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Stand with what you are. There's big differences and implications
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that are out there. That's all I'm saying to you.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You can agree or you can disagree, but I can't
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: think of a few jobs that are more dangerous than
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: being an on-the-road police officer in today's environment. And in
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: law enforcement, that's much different than being a corrections officer.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That's much different than being a dispatcher. A dispatcher is
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not arresting people and putting a vest on and wearing
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a gun to work. I'll leave you with that.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Good evening, Ron. How are you?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I am well, and I'm glad to finally connect with
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you after a week of zero discussion.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I got to tell you, you miss a couple days,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: it's like you miss a decade. You know, there's so
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: much going on, and it's coming so fast. I understand
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: why people are having such a hard time absorbing and
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: understanding what's happening around them. It's just an awful lot
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: to absorb.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Well, that's where we turn to you to explain.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Well, and I'm happy to add my voice to the conversation,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: as you know.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Well, let's start by, I've been hearing all the time,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Iran wants a deal, Iran wants a deal. I've been
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: hearing this now for two weeks, and I'm saying, well,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: if they want one, how come there isn't one? Now,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: today I read on CNBC, oil prices fall after Iran
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: sends updated peace proposal to mediators in Pakistan. I hope
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it's true. Give me your assessment of this whole situation
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and my $ 5 gasoline.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's going to take a bit longer
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: to settle this. I mean, I know that we're very
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: impatient and we want this to go quickly, but the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: truth is Iran has been looking at nuclear weapons as
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: their future leverage and tool of destruction for a long time.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: They know that if they get that, the balance of power...
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: in their minds, will shift. Now, I don't think it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: going to shift that much because if they even indicate
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: that they're thinking about using one of those, if they
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: had one, they would be eliminated. And it's not to
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: turn it all into glass, you know, hot shot talk.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, if the world believes that they are going
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: to launch a nuclear weapon, it will destroy Iran, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I mean entirely. And I think that somewhere in there
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: they probably know that, but maybe they don't. So they
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: want to be admitted to the club of nuclear nations,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: which is far too big a club today. There's a
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: lot of countries that we really wish didn't have these things.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: But I just don't see how anyone, and I mean
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: China as well, you know, China or any other nation
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: dealing with them wants them to have a nuclear weapon.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: China understands the destabilization that could occur if a fundamentalist
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Islamist you know, had their finger on the trigger. I mean,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: we got enough concern with Pakistan who we never know
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: where Pakistan stands. It's just crazy to think that we
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: have another one. So they're going to fight hard to
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: maintain the ability. to develop nuclear weapons, and that's a
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: non-starter for the rest of the world, at least the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: rest of the world engaged in this, probably some Marxist
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: countries that would like it, maybe a couple of Islamist
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: countries that would like it. But it's going to be
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: a non-starter. And the second thing that they want that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: is the contentious issue, of course, is the straits. And
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I think they're more willing to give up on absolute
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: control of the strait, possibly, than of the nuclear weapon, which, again,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: they view as almost part of the jihad, I think.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, they are dedicated to this, even though there's
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: not a lot of evidence that their nuclear program has continued.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: So this is going to be a difficult negotiation. The
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: benefit that we have now, as we've talked about before...
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It's that they're losing $ 400 million a day in oil revenue,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and they have no way to replace it. Maybe they
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: could ship a little bit by truck or rail, but
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: you cannot replace, you know, Karg Island. That's 90% of
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: their volume, as everybody now knows. And you just can't,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you just don't turn that off and on. They can't
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: just find a quick alternative for 90%. Now, the fact
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that Saudi Arabia is shipping $ 7 million today, is really,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: as we said last week, is quite remarkable. But I
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: think that Iran has a very serious incentive to begin
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: playing ball, and they could certainly hold out. But as
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: we said, you know, before, neither side's holding all the cards. Now,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I listened to a retired four-star general who was the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: drug czar, or working on the drug fight in the
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Clinton administration, which is kind of like, you know, working
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: on the drug war for Pablo Escobar. You know, whose
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: side are you really on? And this guy goes from
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: leftist station to leftist station, globalist to globalist, explaining how
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Iran's holding all the cards. Iran hasn't even been damaged. Listen,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: 13,000 13,000 targets have been taken out. Not 1,300, not 12,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: not 1,000, 13,000. They have absolutely zero ability to control
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: the skies over their own country. Zero ability. They have
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: been militarily devastated in a couple of ways, right? They've
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: lost all air defense. They've lost their ability to project
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: power very significantly. So they are... You know, this isn't
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: easy for them. Now, where they haven't been degraded much,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: as best we can tell, is their ground forces. They
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: still have some missiles and they still have a couple launchers.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's clear they can launch a missile down again.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: But you notice how much that fell off when they
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: were still actively launching. Now, without this money and without
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the ability to resupply, so you may remember a couple
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago or a week ago maybe now, it
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: seems like forever ago, they were getting a shipment of
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: materials in from China that they could use to make
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: propellant for cruise missiles. Well, that load didn't get there.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: So they are losing their ability to resupply unless they
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: can bring in materials by rail and truck over land.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: And if that starts to be a significant volume, a
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: couple of A-10s take that out. So I don't get
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: this idea that Iran is somehow uninjured full-strength, sitting there
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: as if ready to lash out at the world and
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: conquer everybody. If they had a nuclear weapon, they would
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: have used it. If they had the ability to launch
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: some more aggressive attacks, they would have done so. And,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're facing what to their regime is an
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: existential threat. So I think that neither side holds all
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: the cards. They understand our time sensitivity, and they understand
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the lack of, let's say, engagement by the American people.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: They know that Joe Mainstreet, this is not his war.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: He doesn't care about it. He wasn't afraid of Iran.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: They didn't spend enough time on propaganda to get people
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: fired up to where they wanted to go over there
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: and kill a bunch of people. They just kind of
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: blew it on that side, and that's because of the
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: way the war started with Israel saying, we're going in,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: and if you don't come, that's okay, but expect to
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: be attacked by Iran. So there just wasn't the normal
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: buildup of propaganda that gets you to the seething rage
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and the passion for destruction that is necessary to execute
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: a war effectively. So I think Iran has a clear
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: image of where we stand. I think Trump has now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think he had it at the beginning, but
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I think he's got a clear image of where they stand.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: And now it's a negotiation. At $ 425, $ 450, whatever it is,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: a million dollars a day that they're losing, that's going
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: to be a two-sided discussion. And I think you'll see
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: their attitude change over time. Remember, as I keep saying,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: tyranny is expensive. To get the police to oppress their
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: own people, to get the army to turn on its family,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: to turn on its neighbors, to get informants to narc
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: on their neighbors. I mean, this is expensive. You have
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to pay people to be traitors. And, you know, as
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: we see with the people in Congress, right, the ones
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: who refused to pass the Save America Act, you think
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: they're doing that for free? Of course not. They're getting
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: paid by their masters, whoever those people are, the globalists. Right?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Mitch McConnell... We know he got a $ 10 million check
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: from the Chinese through his father-in-law. You know, there is
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: no question that the treason is expensive. And when you're
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: losing $ 425, $ 400 million a day, that's a problem. The
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: other problem is their leverage is somewhat weaker. UAE is
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: shipping more volume through their pipeline that comes out south
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: of the strait. And again, that 7 million barrels a
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: day that Saudi's shipping over to the Red Seaside is
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: really weakening their position. So... I think this negotiation is
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: going to take a while. We're going to be impatient
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: because we like things to be simple and easy and,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: you know, reported on the news as some kind of...
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know. We like to think we're in a
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: video game. We think no video game.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Stand by.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Stand by. Back with G2 in a minute. Some thoughts
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: about what's going on in the Middle East and more.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Some of your calls ahead as well. Stay tuned. 570 WKBN.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: All right. I mean... We're well beyond the debate of
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: whether or not we should have been in this war
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: in the first place because it's irrelevant at this point
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: in time because we're in it. I mean, that's the reality.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And just to cut to the chase, you would have
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: to agree that it's been executed quite well by the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: military at this point in time, and a blockade appears
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to be working. Would you agree with that?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's been an incredible fight on
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: the side of the U.S. military. It And the Israelis,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: it's remarkable what they've achieved.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Do you think they have Iran by the you-know-what, that
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: we're in a good position, that it's just a matter
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of time before they're going to have to agree to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: something and bring this to a conclusion sooner than later?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think anybody can say when. It's going
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: to take longer than we'd like. It's going to be
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: messier than we'd like. But remember, other nations are involved.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia is not a friend of Iran. They've spent...
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: call it $ 20 billion in just a few months on defense.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: That's as much as they spent, I think, in all
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: of 24. They're buying all material from lots of sources
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: so they could be ready to fire whatever they need
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: to fire. This is just such a dynamic situation. It's
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: going to take some time. It's impossible to say when.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: But the point I was trying to make is that
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: there is clear pressure on both sides. So the people
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: that are saying, oh, Trump's holding all the cards, this
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: is going to be easy. No, that's not true. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: the people that are saying Iran is uninjured and they're powerful, listen,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: their ground forces are largely unimpacted, right? The IRGC's ground
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: forces are in very good shape, but everything else is decimated.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: And they may be able to dig out some more missiles,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: but let's not pretend that they're somehow going to become
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: a superpower overnight. They are not. And so... So this
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: is a mutually damaging situation. We know that the key
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: points are control of the straits and whether or not
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Iran is going to be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: And I think the answer to that has to be no.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody that's rational would say the answer
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: to that is yes. They know that's their biggest card.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: That's the biggest chip they have to play. They're going
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: to play it well. It's going to cost a lot
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: to get that resolved. And, you know, that's just where
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: we are.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: All right. So how long do you think the American
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: people are going to accept $ 5 gallon gasoline or more
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: or higher? And it could go down. Like I said,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: it says oil prices fell after Iran sends supposedly an
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: updated peace proposal to mediators in Pakistan. I don't know
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: if that's true or false. Could be fake news. Maybe not.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Then it also says the following headline on CNBC says U.S.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: oil prices will exceed Iran wartime high to above 125
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: as conflict drags on. So which headline am I supposed
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to believe?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Well, exactly. I mean, remember, we've heard $ 200 a barrel,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: $ 300 a barrel. We've heard lots and lots of different
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: stories about where oil is going from, and that's because
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: people are manipulating the oil market to make money. I
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: would love to see the breakdown of every trade executed
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: on oil contracts as these numbers move around. Some of
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: that is on legitimate assessment of the war, and I
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: think some of this is just manipulation. And I would
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: suspect that before every announcement or text from Trump, you
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: would see a large amount of volume transacting in advance
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: of these messages so that people can make money off
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: what he's saying, because you know between israel united states
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: and who knows where else there are a lot of
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: people who know what's going on in this situation i
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: guarantee if people are treading trading this war and making
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: billions so i don't know how long we can hold
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: out i could tell you that i spoke to a
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: trump voter today who uh... is uh... all the small
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: business very successful small business and and uh... and he's
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: absolutely furious with everything he looked at everything happening in
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: dc and says as i often say The American people
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: have no representation in Congress. It is absolutely true. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: we can tell that because we don't get the Save
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: America Act passed. We can't get a balanced budget. Everything
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: that the American people wanted, oh, no, we've got a
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Senate rule, or oh, no, the Democrats have a minority
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: on some committee, and the Democrats can use a minority
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: to stop anything. Well, we gave you the House, the Senate,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: and the White House. Like, hey, well, you know, it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: not enough. We still have excuses. So the Republicans in
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Congress are worthless in most cases. Not all, but the
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: vast majority. Not probably Bernie Marino and not Scott Perry
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and not, you know, like today Rand Paul introduced a
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: bill that was great. There are folks that are doing
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: some good things, but collectively the American people do not
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: have representation in Congress. It is the people who pay
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: them that get representation. And we only pay their salary.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: You know, these $ 2 trillion deficits that pump out that
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: are the driver of corruption, that's where they're getting the money.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: That circles back. So I don't think the American people
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: have any more patience. They're completely impatient. Remember, let's call it,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know, you can look this up, but like mid-22, June,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: July 22, gasoline went to $ 5. It's now significantly below that.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: No one cares. They voted for Trump to fix the
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: energy market. He did. Then it went away. People are furious.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: This small business owner, three-time Trump voter, furious with all
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: of them, no longer happy with Trump, hates the Republicans
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: that he voted for his whole life.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: But the Democrats certainly aren't the answer. Hang on. Back
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: with G2 after the headlines. It's a waiting game. We
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: shall see what the outcome takes place. Hopefully they got
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a stranglehold on Iran where they'll reach some type of
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: agreement relatively fast.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Hopefully.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: But we were talking about this three-time Trump voter earlier
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: today who I was speaking with recently, and it's a
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: lot of conversations I've had like this in recent weeks.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: And the guy that I've speaking about was just absolutely
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: frustrated with the Republican Party on every point, and now
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: he's disappointed with Trump because the price of gas went up.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: He's not tracking the Iran war. He's not a verbalist.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have a level of information your audience does.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: But what he does have is knowledge that every time
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: he turns around, the government's hitting him with some silly
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: regulation that's costing him money. His fuel prices are going up.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: His cost of doing business is going up. He can't
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: always push that along, although he's He gets a lot
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: of it through, but he can't always push it through.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Just running his business is becoming more and more complicated.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: And while he lives in a state controlled by leftists,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: he votes Republican, and he can't get help no matter
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: what happens. He's looking to Congress to help. They're not.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: And so he's mad at all of them. There's no
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: scenario where this guy goes back to voting Democrat, or
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: maybe he never did. I suspect he probably never did.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: But there is a scenario where he just simply stops voting.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: And this is the threat that the Republicans at the
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: RNC do not understand. The Republicans in most of these
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: state committees do not understand. They do not have a
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: monopoly on voters of any kind, and they do not
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: have a mechanism to force them to get to the polls. Now,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: with this guy Thune, the traitor in the Senate, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Spender Johnson, as these two seem to be preparing to
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: hand the Senate and the House over to Democrats, You know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: this is a problem, and they have to start performing.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: On a local level, I heard your earlier caller talking
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: about how, I don't know if he was a Democrat
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: or Republican, I couldn't tell, but he seems pretty anti-Republican.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: But if he's expressing the same feelings that this guy
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I was talking about is, it's because he's looking at
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the local level, say, at the county. He sees Geno saying, hey, listen,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: when I was on the outside, I wanted to take
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: care of the taxpayers. Now I'm on the inside. We
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: need more money. We can't cut spending. We have to
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: have more and more and more. And that's just simply
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: not going to work. He's going to have to either
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: switch back to being the Republican conservative cost cutter, the
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: MAGA Trump guy, or he's going to do real harm
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to the Republican Party. And that's exactly what you heard
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: in that earlier call. So you have it on a
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: macro level with Geno. You have it on a macro
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: level with Trader Thune and Spender Johnson. These Republicans who
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: refuse to perform the job they're hired for are doing
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: unestimable damage to the Republican Party. Again, they're not going
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: to shift votes to the Democrats. They're just going to
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: push voters away. So this is, you know, a real
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: crisis because, as you know, the most important existential threats
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: to this nation are domestic, and those include, of course,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: election fraud. No longer a question. Everybody accepts it. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: that's got to get fixed. and corruption within these Republicans and,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: of course, the Democrats who serve masters other than the
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: American voter.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: All right. How do I put it? If inflation continues
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to go up and gas prices continue to stay where
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: they are or go up even higher, it's bad news
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: for the Republicans, period.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely. And And if Trump can get the war settled,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: these prices can adjust quickly. Did you see the fracture
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: in OPEC?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yes. I like to remind people, OPEC, though, remember, OPEC
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: was formed by, guess who? Henry Kissinger, right? Henry Kissinger
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: was the brains behind OPEC, that no-good bum. it's nothing
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: short of collusion. Collusion by saying we all get together
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and determine production and pricing, and finally you got a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: crack in OPEC with UAE saying, well, we're not going
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to go along with OPEC and what they say. That's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: a good thing.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: And you remember back, you know, the stories of the
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: 70s where people were in long gas lines. Remember back
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: then the United States was sort of phasing out of
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: its early oil production. I don't know what production was
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: during the the crisis but it wasn't in the old uh...
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: you know vertical nine hundred foot well anymore and yet
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: they didn't have the directional technology in the fracking so
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: the u.s wasn't a major player and until two thousand
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: fifteen the u.s could not export oil now opec's power
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: is dramatically reduced by the absolute amazing increase of production
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: in the united states this is a global impact that
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: is massive so that's great news And so now these
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: OPEC countries are saying we're all sticking together for this cartel,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: but our power is diminishing. Iran is hurting us. But, gee,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: you know, it's hurting some more than others. Kuwait can't
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: get their oil out, but Saudi can. It is interesting
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: to watch this cartel break down and have countries saying, listen,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: we're going to pump as much oil as we can pump.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: With the prices that are out in the market today,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: anyone who isn't pumping maximum volume is just silly. And
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: these lifestyles of the rich and famous in the Middle East,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: extremely expensive. Look, if you've got a 747 as the
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: family car, it takes a few dollars to drive those
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: a mile. If you're going to fly into the Cleveland
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Clinic and rent an entire floor and bring, I don't
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: know what they bring, 20, 30, 50 people on your
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: 747 because somebody needs an appendectomy, And everybody's going to
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: get health care at the clinic. You know how they
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: back those planes up against the fence between the parking
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: deck at the airport? You know where it is. And
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: those are all family airplanes. That costs a lot of money.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: So the lifestyle and holding onto these regimes in the
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Middle East, while all of them are being challenged by
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: radical Islamist fundamentalists who would very much like to get
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: control of those oil fields and that cash flow, it's
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: not like this is a super stable situation. Why do
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: you think Qatar... Allowed the United States to have 10,000
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: soldiers within their borders. You think it's just because they
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: like us? You know, they think, gee, maybe they'll cook
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: me a hamburger down again. No, it turns out they
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: need our presence to defend their nations because they have
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: tons of money, but they don't have the ability to
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: defend themselves. Right. And they're destabilized. So, you know, they
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: could be destabilized in a short period of time if
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: things go sideways. So they need the cash flow. So
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: the OPEC breaking up, I think, is a great thing
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: for the West. It's a great thing for Europe, which,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: you know, can't seem to help itself. And the U.S.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: pumping the way we are and now having this Venezuelan
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: oil come here, these are great moves. I mean, it's
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: tremendous to watch what's happening. You know, the world never
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: fails to react. The analysts on TV predicting doom and
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: gloom are always doing it in a vacuum as if
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: there are no countermoves. There are always countermoves. We just
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: have to hope that he gets this resolved. Gas prices
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: fall again. Everybody will turn frowns and dismiss. because our
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: memory is about four minutes long, and that Trader Foon
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: and Spender Johnson begin to actually serve the American people
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: who hired them to do a job and stop serving
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: whoever their real master is.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: All right. So, Ron Furbachy, too, you're on air.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Hi, Ron.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Hi. He is so fascinating. I could listen to him
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: all night. It's like an educational thing.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, he is.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: That's not why I'm calling him.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: He's a very knowledgeable man. Yeah, the library.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, you ready for another take on the library?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, my dad, who would have been 100 on Thursday...
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: His corporate offices were in the old dormitory, which is
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: the very first section of the library. And people ask
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: me all the time, well, what would he think about this? Well,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: he was a businessman, and he was really smart. And
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: the first thing he would have done was he would
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: have listened, and he would have absolutely agreed with the board.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Explain.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Because the old dormitory... took some hits in bad design.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: So he lost a lot of money with historical tax
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: credits he could have.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Gotten.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: So you think the board made the right decision in
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: moving the library?
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Actually, and you know what I think?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: What?
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: They have an old century school that's sitting right down
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: the street, just sitting there kind of empty. Why don't
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: they move the library into Poland Union? I mean, if
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Poland is so up on historical stuff.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting?
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised they're not running you out of town. You
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: better not say this opinion out loud.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, my son..
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking. I'm looking out for you.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Well, it's funny because... I think the highest
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: compliment I ever got, because I'm from Poland, was, you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: you just don't act like you're from Poland. And I
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: took that.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: I'm really probably going to get in trouble. Anyhow, no,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: I think Poland Union is just sitting there empty. I
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: went there. My dad went there. My mom went there.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Good God, it's got to be a really old place then.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just teasing.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for your input. I appreciate that. So, see,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: there's somebody who says.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: No, go ahead.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: The only other thing was they're really high on the
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: historical stuff, and yet President McKinley's house isn't there anymore.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: It got ripped down.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: All right, dear. Thank you.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: You're welcome.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: G2, how you doing? Did you watch the interview with
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Tucker and Marjorie Carol Green?
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I did not. I saw a clip, a photograph of it,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: but I didn't hear it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: It's a two-hour total interview. He gives like an hour monologue,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: and then she gives an hour. But it's her experiences
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: with the neocons in Congress that are prioritizing... foreign policy
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: over our domestic needs in this country. And then if
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: you didn't watch that one, you probably didn't watch the
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Uncle Buck, Tucker's younger brother, Buckley. In fact, I did,
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: although I thought his brother might be older than him.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: That's what I thought, but he was younger. And he
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: actually worked for Trump as a speechwriter in the first administration.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: He went into how she was betrayed by Trump, Marjorie
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: Taylor Greene, and it's a great interview. And another one
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: was with the Jeffrey Sachs interview on the war.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I haven't watched that one because Jeffrey Sachs, I hear
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: him say a lot of things that sound right but
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: are not necessarily well grounded. He's got an agenda.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, he definitely has an agenda, but he is a
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: good public policy analyst. He's got a good take on things.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: but you've got to know where he's coming from. Yes,
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: you've got to have your.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Own filter and use a little discernment with that one.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: Real quick, what do you think about our only partner
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: in the war, Israel, about how they're conducting itself in Lebanon?
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Are you following that?
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: We actually, I mentioned this last time I was on,
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: maybe once, but look, I don't understand... why it is
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: that if you were a Christian living in Lebanon, you
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: could be killed for the crime of living in a
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: country that has Hezbollah operators in it, and that a
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: 2,000-year-old village could be leveled in the name of destroying Hezbollah.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I don't understand it. I don't understand why you could
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: be slaughtered in the Congo or Nigeria without any concerns
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: or repercussions. I don't understand why you could just kill
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: whatever Christians you want anywhere you want And the fact
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: that Israel is doing that while we are supporting them. Now,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: you know, this to me is an egregious, egregious act.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I am offended by it, and I think everyone should be. And,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: you know, they've hidden it. When that first ceasefire came,
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Israel then pretended it didn't apply to Lebanon because they
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: hadn't flattened all those Christian villages yet. And as you
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: well know, I'm sure because you've been paying attention, everything
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: south of the Latani River is basically being pulverized. And
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: what are they going to do next? They're going to
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: take money from the United States and from groups like
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and they're going
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: to relocate settlers into that area and call it a
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: safety or security zone. Well, no, this isn't like the DMZ.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: They're just resettling that as Israel. And I don't understand
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: why the world isn't calling this out and why the
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: administration isn't doing more unless you take into account the
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: concerns about the level of influence, AIPAC, which was mentioned
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: earlier in the show, I think, Ron, and Adelson and
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Steve Wynn and all these Israelis have in the United States.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: The fact that we seem to have a Congress that
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: is more supportive of Israel than the U.S. So, you know, I...
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: I don't get it, and I think it should be
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: halted immediately, and I think the last Christian village that
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: was destroyed should be the last one ever destroyed. By
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: the way, let me extend it one step further. The
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: churches in Europe are burning. Churches in the United States
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: occasionally burn, but there's a campaign to burn churches down
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: in Europe, and there's no reaction from anyone. I find
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: it offensive.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: The Pope did get involved a little bit, but then
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: he's sort of gone silent now, but the... The Israelis
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: just demolished a monastery and a nun school in Yaron
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: in Lebanon. What they're doing, they're just bulldozing entire villages, churches,
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: and even cemeteries. Why would they be bulldozing cemeteries? But
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: getting back to our Republicans, there's only one that doesn't
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: take AIPAC money, and I mentioned that earlier, and that's
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: Tom Massey. You could go and look up the amounts
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: that they're getting. So they're working for two masters, our Congress,
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: which is..
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Well, look, they haven't made any bones about it. They've
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: said they're going to eliminate Thomas Massey because he wouldn't
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: vote for foreign aid for Israel. Now, he didn't specifically
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: target Israel. He said, I'm not voting for foreign aid
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: when we have a $ 2 trillion deficit. It wasn't a
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: new position. He's been voting against this kind of spending
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: a long time. I'd like to see the kind of
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: energy being brought to oust Massey, brought against one of
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: these radical Democrats. How about Ilhan Omar? You think she's
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: a friend of Israel? How about she gets the same attention?
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: You know, now, of course, she's elected through election fraud,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: if you go back and analyze it. So, you know,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: maybe they feel like they can't do that because then
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: they'd expose themselves for not taking out election fraud. I mean,
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: it's such a mess. But I think if you look
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: at what Massey's saying and doing, much of what he's
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: saying and doing is logical and it's constitutional. I disagree
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: with some of his approaches. some of his actions, but
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: it's pretty hard to disagree with him on a philosophy basis.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: And while, you know, normally a libertarian is unwilling to
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: fight over anything, they just, like, go ahead and, you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: destroy it, and we'll stand here and say no. He's
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: not that. He's willing to take a fight. He's just
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: fighting for things that seem to be aligned with the
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: American people's interests. So I don't hate Israel. I don't
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: want Israel to be destroyed. I don't run around chanting
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: from the river to the sea. But I would like
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: to see the 2,000-year-old villages south of the Latami River
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: reconstructed at Israel's expense. I'd like to see the Christians
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: that were there buried at Israel's expense. And I'd like
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: to see a safety guarantee of the Christians in Palestine,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: you know, Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon and
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: throughout Israel and throughout the Middle East. I'd like to
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: see a commitment from Netanyahu that there will be no
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: more slaughter of Christians.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: That'll never happen, but I like your take on things.
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: I like your take on the war. And if you
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: get a spare minute, you can pull up that Tucker
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: interview with the CIA, John Kirikou. I think I've seen
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: parts of it, yeah. I watched the whole thing. It's
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: an hour and a half. You can watch it on
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: 1.5 speed. It'll speed it up. But that was a
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: fascinating one. I try to watch these every week. Yeah,
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: I like your take on everything, and thanks for all
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: the good info, G2.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: All right, appreciate your call. G2, stand by. News Radio 570,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: WKBN 652. Ron Furb, Kingdom of Mahoning. Youngstown's news, weather,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: and talk station, 570 WKBN. And Ron Furb, 654. News
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Radio 570, WKBN. It's already May 1st. G2, after a
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: long absence, I mean, he was deep, deep, deep underground
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: for years. What, well over a week, I think, wasn't it?
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. It's been a while. And I've got to
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: tell you, I've had a wonderful time. I got to
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: spend some time with some Vietnamese folks. Came here in 92,
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: which is a little later than that first wave. And
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: to hear them talk again about what America is and
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: to listen to them in whispers because they're surrounded by
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: leftists where they live. But it's exciting to see some
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: people who truly understand the country And I got to
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: spend some time with some ladies from Chicago who are
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: hardcore patriots, you know, voted for Trump three times. They're
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: from inner city Chicago, hardcore fighters, extremely exciting to hear.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: They've not lost a bit of vigor, vim or vigor,
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: but they really think that if the leftists take over again,
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: if the globalists get control, full control, if Trader Tune
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: and Spender Johnson give it to the Democrats, they think
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: that these people are coming for all of us, that
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: they're going to be out hunting like they did after
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: January 6th. And it's, it's, so they're a little, you know,
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: but they, they, they fight on, uh, saw some other
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: folks that are engaged in hardcore political activism inside urban
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: markets where Democrats control everything. And there they are boldly
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: and loudly shouting Trump. It's just exciting.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: And, um, and so, uh, you know, I've had some,
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: some fascinating discussions in this last, uh, you know, a
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: few days and been able to see some beautiful country.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: You know, this nation is gorgeous. I mean, it's beautiful.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: And if you just take a moment to appreciate it,
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: you realize that it's worth fighting for. And that's what
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: we've got to do, because the only force in the
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: world capable of saving this country is the American people.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. You're on the air with G2. Hello.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 41:58
  Speaker 8: Well, I was going to say something, but now that
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: we only have two minutes left.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Thank God, because if you were going to say something intelligence,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: what would we do with the other minute?
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: Well, the intelligent part is this. I can't say it
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: any better. Klaus Schwab has the great reset. Well, Donald
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: Trump is making his own great reset that's going to
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: out-reset the Klaus Schwab reset. And that's what's going on.
• 42:30
  Speaker 8: You have to look at the Iran war from the
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: top down. You can't look at it from, you know,
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: the checkers level. You have to look at it from
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: the Donald Trump chess level. There's three phases in the war.
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: The first phase has nothing to do with the nuclear war.
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: That's just because that's the thing that scares people, and
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: that gives them reason to go into the war. The
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: whole reason, that's phase one. Notice how he just stopped
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: immediately at the Strait of Hormuz. He's got all the
• 42:59
  Speaker 8: ships and everything, blocking everything up.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: That's phase two.
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: Phase three is starving all the nations.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: That's why.
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: King Charles came to America to beg, beg, to open
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: up everything and let's get our relations back because he's
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: starving Great Britain. He's making his own great reset. He's
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: selling oil. from the United States. And I actually think,
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: don't we get royalties off of it called the Great
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: Sovereign Wealth Fund or something? Don't we get royalties off
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: of it, G2? But anyhow, I'm going to leave you.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: No, you're going to leave me with what?
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: The Continental costume soldiers, the Continental Army uniforms greeting King Charles.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: We don't have time. We'll have to hit this next week.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: But this visit by King Charles was fascinating. And it's
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: got nothing to do with pomp and circumstance and everything.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: He's begging.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: He's begging.
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: That's what they sent him over here for.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Why is it fascinating, G2? Quick answer.
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: I'm going to end with one last thing.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: There's no time for it. G2, thank you.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 44:01

• 44:57
  Speaker 10: have terminated as part of this broader argument that the
