- 0:01Speaker 2: Well, a laid-back Tuesday afternoon. It's just beautiful outside. Hope
- 0:05Speaker 2: you get a chance to enjoy this gorgeous Tuesday afternoon.
- 0:09Speaker 2: We're at 75 degrees. It's a lovely day. It's June
- 0:12Speaker 2: 2nd already, boys and girls. Ron Verbe with you until
- 0:15Speaker 2: 6.30 tonight. Guardians pregame at 6.30 here on NewsRadio 570 WKVN.
- 0:19Speaker 2: So enjoy the day, all right? Make the best of it.
- 0:22Speaker 2: You're on the air.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Yes, how you doing, Ron?
- 0:25Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you called. I'm doing okay.
- 0:29Speaker 3: My initial topic was going to be on geoengineering. I
- 0:34Speaker 3: noticed last week that she, too, thought it was a
- 0:36Speaker 3: conspiracy theory, and I had a pile of information. You
- 0:41Speaker 3: can go to YouTube and watch the expert, Dane Whittington,
- 0:44Speaker 3: on geoengineeringwatch.org.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Now, explain what you mean so we understand it.
- 0:53Speaker 3: That's where, you know what, I was at a graduation party,
- 0:56Speaker 3: talked to a lot of people, asked them, do you
- 0:58Speaker 3: ever look up, do you notice the tic-tac-toe patterns in
- 1:02Speaker 3: the sky in the morning and the evening, high altitude? No,
- 1:06Speaker 3: no one ever looks up at the sky. They go out,
- 1:08Speaker 3: they play golf, they walk, they drive. But if you
- 1:11Speaker 3: look up, you can see these, they're chemtrails, they're not contrails.
- 1:16Speaker 3: And I have a brother that's a pilot, and he
- 1:19Speaker 3: can explain the difference between a vapor contrail a contrail
- 1:22Speaker 3: that dissipates after so many feet, and a chemtrail, which
- 1:28Speaker 3: is put out by an aerosol jet on either high
- 1:33Speaker 3: altitude or low altitude. But that's not what I wanted
- 1:38Speaker 3: to get into.
- 1:39Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:40Speaker 2: But before you get into what you want to get into,
- 1:42Speaker 2: so you're saying that when you go out and you
- 1:44Speaker 2: looked into this, you can see where they do this
- 1:50Speaker 2: tic-tac-toe type pattern.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Just look up in the morning at 8 a.m., and
- 1:55Speaker 3: you can see the pattern starting with a narrow line
- 1:58Speaker 3: that goes for miles and miles. It takes a while
- 2:02Speaker 3: to dissipate into a haze. That's why we have these hazy,
- 2:05Speaker 3: not cloudy days. And I almost wanted to punch my
- 2:11Speaker 3: TV last night when the weather guy said, oh, we
- 2:13Speaker 3: had beautiful clouds this morning yesterday. another beautiful string of days,
- 2:17Speaker 3: and I'm going, don't you, you're a weatherman, don't you
- 2:19Speaker 3: look at the clouds?
- 2:23Speaker 2: So you're saying, in your opinion, just so I get it,
- 2:26Speaker 2: you're saying that you think who, the government or somebody
- 2:30Speaker 2: is flying these..
- 2:31Speaker 3: There are government contracts with, well, there are multiple companies
- 2:36Speaker 3: that we have contracts with. It's our own government doing it.
- 2:39Speaker 2: That are spraying this to do, for what purpose?
- 2:42Speaker 3: The main one is the Israeli... company that does a
- 2:47Speaker 3: lot of the U.S. and Europe.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Why are they doing it?
- 2:52Speaker 3: Why are they doing it? It's weather modification and climate
- 2:55Speaker 3: change modification trying to lower the temperature. But like I said,
- 3:01Speaker 3: if you go to... Tucker, I had a whole..
- 3:03Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this. Why wouldn't they be
- 3:06Speaker 2: doing that, like, over Florida, where it's like..
- 3:08Speaker 1: They are.
- 3:09Speaker 3: They are. They're doing it over the entire United States, Ron.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Talk to But here's the funny thing, and I've talked
- 3:14Speaker 3: to a lot of people. There's only like five out
- 3:17Speaker 3: of 100 that, yeah, what's going on? I noticed the
- 3:21Speaker 3: crazy formations. I've never seen a tic-tac-toe in the sky before.
- 3:26Speaker 3: And I know Elon Musk on Twitter has extensive coverage
- 3:30Speaker 3: of geoengineering. If you go on X, you can see it.
- 3:36Speaker 2: No, just so everyone knows, this is a really smart
- 3:40Speaker 2: guy on the end of this phone line. I'm here
- 3:42Speaker 2: to tell you this. This guy is really smart. This
- 3:44Speaker 2: guy is not a kook. This guy is really, really smart.
- 3:49Speaker 2: And you're saying that you look at the sky and
- 3:53Speaker 2: you can see that pattern, you know, that's a tecto
- 3:55Speaker 2: or to or whatever.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Yes, and I've taken pictures with my cell phone, and
- 3:59Speaker 3: then when people– you know, ask you about it. I said,
- 4:02Speaker 3: look at these pictures on my phone. They go, wow.
- 4:05Speaker 2: And you claim this happens all across the country, the U.S.? Yes.
- 4:10Speaker 3: And look, it happens. Just look up in the morning.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Look up tomorrow morning. In the morning, in the afternoon,
- 4:16Speaker 3: you could see the chemtrails.
- 4:19Speaker 2: And they're doing it to... Because the planet's getting too
- 4:24Speaker 2: hot or whatever global warming?
- 4:25Speaker 3: You know what? And as I told people, I really
- 4:28Speaker 3: don't know what their modification. It must be, since it's
- 4:31Speaker 3: our own government, they wouldn't be doing this to harm us.
- 4:34Speaker 3: So what do they know that we don't know that
- 4:36Speaker 3: they're doing this?
- 4:38Speaker 2: So I think how expensive that would be to do
- 4:45Speaker 2: and to do it every day.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Yes.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I mean, how expensive... And you would think that somehow
- 4:54Speaker 2: that would be leaked. Now, just as a side note, because..
- 4:57Speaker 3: It has been leaked. It's all over the... Like I said,
- 5:00Speaker 3: Tucker did a two-hour show on it, and you could
- 5:03Speaker 3: go to YouTube on... The guy's name is Dane, D-A-N-E, Whittington, W-I-T-T-I-N-G-T-O-N.
- 5:10Speaker 3: And you can really... It's eye-opening, but..
- 5:13Speaker 2: And why does he say it's going on? Same thing
- 5:15Speaker 2: as you, that it's.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Same as me. He really doesn't know, and it's... People
- 5:19Speaker 3: involved are, like I said, all of these foreign companies,
- 5:24Speaker 3: American companies. I know Bill Gates is involved in it.
- 5:26Speaker 3: That's one of his pet projects is geoengineering. And Tucker
- 5:33Speaker 3: brings that up in his interview. This interview was like
- 5:35Speaker 3: eight months ago on Tucker.com.
- 5:40Speaker 2: So do you think they're screwing with the weather, too?
- 5:42Speaker 5: No.
- 5:45Speaker 3: I don't know if you're if what they're doing if
- 5:48Speaker 3: it's if it's practice for weaponizing the weather to see
- 5:52Speaker 3: how it works and or if it's that lower the
- 5:55Speaker 3: temperature or if it's to put pollutants on this i
- 5:59Speaker 3: i really don't know like i said it'll play out
- 6:02Speaker 3: in time and we'll all find out you know when
- 6:05Speaker 3: i know there are lawsuits right now going on trying
- 6:08Speaker 3: to stop it i know florida has lawsuits and several
- 6:12Speaker 3: southern states that they're bringing class action suits against these companies.
- 6:21Speaker 2: I mean, that's interesting. What do you make of all
- 6:28Speaker 2: this information that's coming out about UFOs and that kind
- 6:31Speaker 2: of stuff? What do you make of that?
- 6:33Speaker 3: You know what? And I hate to keep going back
- 6:37Speaker 3: to Tucker Carlson, but he... He did a show on
- 6:41Speaker 3: the UFO files, and he had a couple of experts on.
- 6:45Speaker 3: And it's not aliens. It's like it could be demons.
- 6:49Speaker 3: It could be spiritual. But, you know, no one knows.
- 6:54Speaker 3: They know.
- 6:54Speaker 1: We don't know.
- 6:55Speaker 3: It's like the Epstein files. We'll never know, you know.
- 6:59Speaker 2: So do you think it's BS or reality?
- 7:02Speaker 3: I think it's real. But what bothers me is when
- 7:05Speaker 3: the government releases these pictures of UFOs, You see the
- 7:09Speaker 3: most grainy pictures with a little white dot, and that's
- 7:13Speaker 3: supposed to be the UFO. I mean, you could read
- 7:16Speaker 3: my license plate from outer space with a clear picture,
- 7:20Speaker 3: and that's what the government chooses to release. But that's
- 7:24Speaker 3: the government. But what I really called about was you
- 7:27Speaker 3: asked earlier, and I heard you say, what's going on
- 7:30Speaker 3: with gas? I don't know if you've been following Trump
- 7:33Speaker 3: on True Social the last couple of hours.
- 7:36Speaker 1: No.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Or the last 24 hours. He's put out 45 posts
- 7:42Speaker 3: in a couple of hours knocking Israel and Bibi.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I did hear that in a news report last night.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Go ahead, though.
- 7:54Speaker 3: First, I want to say that Ohio is one of
- 7:58Speaker 3: the 38 states that has the anti-BDS hate speech against Israel.
- 8:04Speaker 3: There's actually a law. It bans you from speaking out
- 8:08Speaker 3: against Israel. But since I'm retired, I do my own
- 8:12Speaker 3: hedge fund managing. I don't have a business. They can't
- 8:15Speaker 3: sanction me. But in Ohio, I believe it's revised Code 9.76,
- 8:23Speaker 3: and you could ask one of your state senators when
- 8:25Speaker 3: they come on. And we enacted that pretty early on.
- 8:29Speaker 3: I think Ohio did it in 2016, and they expanded
- 8:31Speaker 3: it in 2022. and basically what that is it's a
- 8:36Speaker 3: foreign power is taking over our government they're telling us
- 8:40Speaker 3: what we can and can't say in our own country
- 8:42Speaker 3: a free speech and this was a pack the lobbyists
- 8:46Speaker 3: got this thing through and i think they're almost up
- 8:50Speaker 3: to forty states now but um... trump right now he's
- 8:54Speaker 3: realized he's looking for an off ramp he he knows
- 8:58Speaker 3: that he was lied to. After you see, you can
- 9:01Speaker 3: play the choice words, I can't say them over the air,
- 9:05Speaker 3: what he called Net Yahoo, and he goes, the whole
- 9:07Speaker 3: world hates you, they hate Israel because of this. And
- 9:13Speaker 3: I was listening to Alex Jones had a podcast today
- 9:18Speaker 3: talking about this topic that Tucker Carlson, Joe Kent, Uncle
- 9:25Speaker 3: Buck Carlson and our intelligence agencies tried to tell Trump
- 9:30Speaker 3: that it wouldn't last a few days to a few weeks.
- 9:33Speaker 3: It was going to be like a six-month drawn-out thing.
- 9:37Speaker 3: But he was taken in, and Trump finally woke up.
- 9:41Speaker 3: And I just wonder if that's what's going on with
- 9:43Speaker 3: the oil market, that people realize that Trump is going
- 9:46Speaker 3: to try to rein in Israel, because they're trying to
- 9:50Speaker 3: derail the peace talks. without their actions in lebanon in
- 9:54Speaker 3: gaza that's one of the sticking points with Iran. You've
- 9:57Speaker 3: got to stop. There's got to be a ceasefire in
- 10:01Speaker 3: Lebanon and in Gaza, which is like Israel's committing war
- 10:06Speaker 3: crimes in those two countries or two areas.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Wow.
- 10:11Speaker 3: Here's what I'm afraid of. You can see the escalation
- 10:17Speaker 3: going on with Russia. and ukraine how they're they're trying
- 10:22Speaker 3: to get our so let's keep trying to derail the
- 10:24Speaker 3: peace talks there and actually it looks like uh... europe
- 10:29Speaker 3: is mobilizing to attack russia and they're pushing prudence and
- 10:34Speaker 3: i think the same thing with uh... met yahoo in uh...
- 10:38Speaker 3: with our peace talks with the land he's just trying
- 10:40Speaker 3: to throw a monkey wrench into it.
- 10:43Speaker 2: But i don't see if you would listen to what
- 10:44Speaker 2: they said last night that uh... You know, I'm under
- 10:49Speaker 2: the belief that Trump got into this because of Netanyahu
- 10:54Speaker 2: and Israel. And there has to be a reason why
- 10:57Speaker 2: he did a 180 on his stand and decided after
- 11:00Speaker 2: the bunker buster and all this kind of stuff to
- 11:02Speaker 2: get to go down this rabbit hole. But but he did.
- 11:05Speaker 2: And then they say last night he was in a.
- 11:09Speaker 2: on the phone swearing, basically, if you believe anything, Netanyahu,
- 11:13Speaker 2: about what he was continuing. He was derailing the peace talks,
- 11:17Speaker 2: which wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm sure he doesn't
- 11:19Speaker 2: want the U.S. leaving or anything at all, but he's
- 11:24Speaker 2: trying to derail them by continuing to bomb Lebanon, right?
- 11:30Speaker 3: Yes. The thing is, I think Trump finally woke up.
- 11:33Speaker 3: He's realized he's lost a portion of his base, his
- 11:37Speaker 3: solid base, He's lost the independent voter, and gas prices
- 11:42Speaker 3: are still high. The election's coming up, and he's finally
- 11:47Speaker 3: waking up, and he knows he's got to make some
- 11:51Speaker 3: kind of a deal. And I hope he does, but..
- 11:57Speaker 1: What's your.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Opinion if he doesn't? Do you think some of these
- 12:00Speaker 2: people that I read, and you're a sharp financial dude,
- 12:04Speaker 2: many of these people say if he doesn't do that,
- 12:06Speaker 2: you could have 6% inflation the second quarter. And I
- 12:09Speaker 2: was talking about that Art, I forget his name off, Berman,
- 12:14Speaker 2: I think, is his last name. And then the other
- 12:18Speaker 2: guy I mentioned Friday, they're two of the big oil gurus.
- 12:21Speaker 2: They don't work for oil companies. They're analysts for the
- 12:23Speaker 2: oil companies. They say that oil could be 160 to
- 12:27Speaker 2: 180 a barrel if we continue on like this, and
- 12:31Speaker 2: that there's an oil shortage. And that even if you
- 12:33Speaker 2: stop this tomorrow, it'll take a considerable amount of time
- 12:38Speaker 2: to get things moving again and back to normal.
- 12:41Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're in the situation, we're in the position
- 12:43Speaker 3: that we're almost self-sufficient on oil and natural gas. So
- 12:48Speaker 3: that's Trump's That's a positive for Trump.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mentioned that yesterday where they were saying, no,
- 12:54Speaker 2: we're not. They said, we are not self-sufficient. We have
- 12:58Speaker 2: one type of oil. We have light crude. And light
- 13:02Speaker 2: crude does not make diesel fuel. And light crude doesn't
- 13:06Speaker 2: make jet fuel. And you need diesel for trucks, for shipping,
- 13:12Speaker 2: and for planes. And heavy crude is what you need.
- 13:16Speaker 2: That comes from the Middle East.
- 13:18Speaker 3: In Venezuela.
- 13:19Speaker 2: No, Canada. Canada, the Middle East, and a little bit
- 13:24Speaker 2: from Venezuela. And that's why they were saying this idea
- 13:29Speaker 2: that we're energy independent when it comes to oil is
- 13:32Speaker 2: nonsense because of the type of oil we have. And
- 13:35Speaker 2: the refineries aren't really designed for this light crude that
- 13:41Speaker 2: we have in our country. This is what these guys
- 13:44Speaker 2: were saying. Like I was saying yesterday, I learned more
- 13:46Speaker 2: about oil than I ever thought I would ever learn
- 13:48Speaker 2: in my life, about heavy crude and light crude. And
- 13:52Speaker 2: light crude means it's been in the ground and it's
- 13:55Speaker 2: deeper in the ground, and basically the heat from Mother
- 13:58Speaker 2: Nature boils off the oil out of it or whatever,
- 14:02Speaker 2: boils a lot of it down, and that's why you
- 14:05Speaker 2: got light crude, and you need heavy crude for diesel,
- 14:09Speaker 2: jet fuel, gas, and light crude will make gasoline, but
- 14:14Speaker 2: our refineries aren't designed for it, and that we still
- 14:17Speaker 2: import more oil, and we still import, I think, 6
- 14:20Speaker 2: million barrels a day. It's a pretty significant number, these
- 14:24Speaker 2: guys were saying. They say that we are not energy
- 14:27Speaker 2: independent when it comes to oil. They say we're energy
- 14:31Speaker 2: independent if you add all forms of energy up. They're
- 14:35Speaker 2: saying natural gas, oil, electricity, all this kind of stuff.
- 14:41Speaker 2: It's kind of a statement that they said, which is
- 14:43Speaker 2: really a stretch and somewhat inaccurate, certainly when it comes
- 14:47Speaker 2: to oil. Go ahead.
- 14:48Speaker 3: And that's why when the Gulf does reopen, you have
- 14:51Speaker 3: how many ships are bottled up there with oil, and
- 14:55Speaker 3: they can only travel, like, what, 300 miles or 250
- 14:57Speaker 3: miles a day, the big tankers? It's going to take
- 15:01Speaker 3: a while for the market to stabilize. It will come
- 15:05Speaker 3: back first.
- 15:06Speaker 2: And it would take months for these ships to get
- 15:08Speaker 2: where they were supposed to go and for shipping even
- 15:11Speaker 2: to get remotely back to normal. And if the insurance
- 15:13Speaker 2: companies will raise insurance or if any of these shipping
- 15:16Speaker 2: companies will even go through that straight and risk anything
- 15:21Speaker 2: happening again. I mean, basically this guy said, and you're
- 15:25Speaker 2: really a smart guy financially, he said Trump has really
- 15:29Speaker 2: messed up the oil situation, the energy situation, and it's
- 15:33Speaker 2: going to take a long time if ever we can
- 15:35Speaker 2: get it back to how it used to be. Do
- 15:37Speaker 2: you agree with that? Stay tuned. Hang on a minute.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Hang on. I want to come back to him in
- 15:42Speaker 2: a minute. News Radio 570 WKBN. 570 WKBN. All right.
- 15:43Speaker 3: So..
- 15:50Speaker 2: Anyway, Art Berman is the guy's name. He's one of
- 15:53Speaker 2: these oil analysts. And he says the United States isn't
- 15:57Speaker 2: energy independent. And he says it would take a considerable
- 16:01Speaker 2: amount of time to ever get anything back remotely close
- 16:04Speaker 2: to normal as far as the ships moving and going
- 16:09Speaker 2: through the strait ever again and oil production back. And
- 16:15Speaker 2: you agree with that?
- 16:16Speaker 3: Yes, I don't follow oil. I'm basically a tech and
- 16:21Speaker 3: AI and crypto guy on investing and options. But when
- 16:25Speaker 3: I do watch the business shows and they talk about oil,
- 16:29Speaker 3: they said the first thing we have to do, you
- 16:32Speaker 3: have to have a peace deal signed and in place.
- 16:35Speaker 3: And then after that, the dots and Ts are crossed
- 16:38Speaker 3: and dotted. They said it's going to take six to
- 16:41Speaker 3: 12 months to resolve oil. the supply shock and the
- 16:46Speaker 3: physical bottlenecks. So even if we get a peace deal,
- 16:51Speaker 3: to get a peace deal, that means we're going to
- 16:52Speaker 3: have to rein in Israel, either hold up their weapons
- 16:56Speaker 3: or hold up their intelligence and stop them from committing
- 17:01Speaker 3: their atrocities to get this deal signed. It's still going
- 17:04Speaker 3: to take 12 months, which means Trump is still sunk.
- 17:08Speaker 3: He's going to lose the bid terms. It's going to,
- 17:10Speaker 3: you know, like you said, inflation's going to go up.
- 17:14Speaker 3: But if we do get a peace deal, all that's done,
- 17:16Speaker 3: and I just want to say for all the investors
- 17:18Speaker 3: out there, you're going to have the next two to
- 17:21Speaker 3: three years are going to be the best years ever
- 17:24Speaker 3: in this stock market. But after, you know, we get
- 17:27Speaker 3: things settled down.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Really?
- 17:30Speaker 2: So if they settle down. Because, I mean, you can see,
- 17:35Speaker 2: I mean, Trump was pissed yesterday because it appeared to
- 17:39Speaker 2: him that Netanyahu was trying to, derail any type of
- 17:43Speaker 2: peace deal because he doesn't want the U.S. to pull
- 17:48Speaker 2: a pin.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Yes, we have guys like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham
- 17:54Speaker 3: and Huckabee that are advising Trump. They're all basically Zionists
- 17:59Speaker 3: that are working for Israel and not working. I want
- 18:04Speaker 3: an elected official working for America, not Israel. You know,
- 18:08Speaker 3: that's take care of this country first. But, yeah, it's
- 18:13Speaker 3: going to be a long time. It's going to take
- 18:16Speaker 3: 12 months, you're right. But, like I said, the people
- 18:20Speaker 3: that have money are making a lot of money on
- 18:23Speaker 3: this war, and they're going to continue making money on it.
- 18:27Speaker 3: And it's going to be very good for people that are,
- 18:30Speaker 3: you know..
- 18:31Speaker 2: Right, but like I say, some of these guys are
- 18:34Speaker 2: saying second quarter could be 6% inflation. These guys are
- 18:38Speaker 2: saying oil could be... $ 160 a barrel. And even though
- 18:45Speaker 2: gasoline prices are down today, there's so many. But they
- 18:50Speaker 2: also say this is unprecedented how messed up this whole
- 18:52Speaker 2: situation is. There's nothing to base it on. It's just
- 18:55Speaker 2: really a mess.
- 18:57Speaker 3: It didn't have to happen. I mean, Trump was going
- 19:00Speaker 3: along so well. He had the border sealed. He was
- 19:04Speaker 3: sending people back home. The economy was fantastic. And the
- 19:08Speaker 3: economy right now is still pretty good. Our GDP is
- 19:11Speaker 3: growing at 4%. So things are good, but the inflation
- 19:17Speaker 3: is hitting everybody, not just at the gas pump, but
- 19:21Speaker 3: home insurance, car insurance, groceries when you go to the
- 19:25Speaker 3: store because, like you said, of the fuel impact and
- 19:29Speaker 3: diesel impact, it's raising the grocery prices. But it didn't
- 19:34Speaker 3: have to happen, and I thought Trump was a smarter
- 19:36Speaker 3: guy than that.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Why do you think he did it?
- 19:40Speaker 3: Well, he was... How many times was Beebe at the
- 19:43Speaker 3: White House this year before the war? Six times. It
- 19:47Speaker 3: was unprecedented. He was pressuring Trump. Trump into, if you
- 19:52Speaker 3: don't help us, we're going to go in on our own. And,
- 19:55Speaker 3: you know, we have 200 nuclear bombs and who knows
- 19:59Speaker 3: what can happen. I think Trump was taken in by
- 20:02Speaker 3: Bibi and the Israeli lobby and Politicians like Ted Cruz.
- 20:08Speaker 2: So do you think he's wised up now?
- 20:13Speaker 3: Of course he's wised up after you read the transcript.
- 20:17Speaker 3: And you know who leaked the transcript of that phone conversation?
- 20:20Speaker 3: Donald Trump on his true social.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Let's hope it's true. All right. Always appreciate your insight.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Thank you, my friend. All right. Call us a line.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Stand by. News Radio 570 WKVN. 435 on a gorgeous
- 20:35Speaker 2: looking Tuesday afternoon. June 2nd already. 76 degrees. Ron Verb
- 20:39Speaker 2: from the Kingdom of Mahoning. And you're on the air.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on, Ron?
- 20:45Speaker 2: Your comments.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Well, listen. I might have two topics, but first of all,
- 20:51Speaker 1: I was rooting for you and that lady that we're
- 20:54Speaker 1: getting into that long conversation, and I really like their personality.
- 20:58Speaker 1: But the moment you guys went into moving everything out
- 21:05Speaker 1: of Youngstown, the Boardmen in Austintown, man, I kind of
- 21:09Speaker 1: started flipping. I said, here we go again, making my
- 21:12Speaker 1: life difficult where I have to travel out until Beverly Hills.
- 21:15Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what. I had to stop and think.
- 21:21Speaker 1: About a week ago, I flew out to Phoenix. Everything
- 21:28Speaker 1: you buy around here, unless it's super brand new, and
- 21:31Speaker 1: I'm not into buying $ 90, 000 cars. Not the way they
- 21:34Speaker 1: take care of the roads around here, brother.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Wait a minute. You flew out to Phoenix to buy
- 21:38Speaker 2: a vehicle?
- 21:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I flew out there with a used car, but
- 21:43Speaker 1: I flew out there because everything I look around here,
- 21:46Speaker 1: even up to Cleveland or wherever, they all have rust
- 21:48Speaker 1: spots on them. Everything had rust under the cage, you know,
- 21:52Speaker 1: carriage rust. And they're pushing to get, they wouldn't deal,
- 21:56Speaker 1: I said, forget it. So I said, I'm going west.
- 21:58Speaker 1: And I went online and found what I wanted out west.
- 22:02Speaker 1: One owner never wrecked nothing, low miles.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Okay, I got to know, what kind of vehicle?
- 22:09Speaker 1: It wasn't a General Motors.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Well, what was it?
- 22:12Speaker 1: I bought a Hyundai.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Okay, a Hyundai.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Okay, a Hyundai because..
- 22:17Speaker 2: Not a Honda.
- 22:17Speaker 1: It felt like not a Honda, a Hyundai. And my
- 22:22Speaker 1: experience is after my last General Motors car, I was
- 22:26Speaker 1: having too many problems with GM. I jumped into one
- 22:28Speaker 1: of these cars, and they're built like tanks. They just run, run, run,
- 22:31Speaker 1: other than your normal maintenance. So it won me over.
- 22:35Speaker 1: So my mother wanted another car. She liked that year.
- 22:39Speaker 1: We found the same year. I said, mom, I'm just
- 22:41Speaker 1: going to fly out to Phoenix and get you the car.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Cause you know what? It was reasonable. In fact, it
- 22:45Speaker 1: was more reasonably priced than what was around in this area.
- 22:49Speaker 1: But you know how the politicians get you still with taxes,
- 22:52Speaker 1: you know, it was a good car. And the man said, listen,
- 22:55Speaker 1: if you like the photos, you like even better person.
- 22:58Speaker 1: It was a done deal. It was beautiful. I flew
- 23:00Speaker 1: out to Phoenix and bought the car at Apache junction, Arizona. Now,
- 23:05Speaker 1: I drove, they threw me the keys after I tested it.
- 23:08Speaker 1: I just loved the car. I drove like a Cadillac
- 23:10Speaker 1: all the way back.
- 23:11Speaker 2: You drove it back here from Phoenix?
- 23:14Speaker 1: Yes, I drove it back 2,000-some miles. Beautiful country, canyons,
- 23:20Speaker 1: Indian territory. I even went to Roswell, New Mexico, and
- 23:24Speaker 1: I can answer your question on that one gentleman. I
- 23:27Speaker 1: went to the museum. Roswell kind of, Roswell's a little
- 23:32Speaker 1: backwoods town, but went there. And I met one of
- 23:37Speaker 1: the TV personalities, if you ever watch their shows on
- 23:40Speaker 1: Ancient Aliens or whatever. It was a shocker. You know,
- 23:43Speaker 1: I went there at 9 a.m. their time. And we
- 23:45Speaker 1: had a good one-on-one conversation. And in short, Ron, he
- 23:50Speaker 1: just came out and said, these so-called beings are demons.
- 23:54Speaker 1: He said, they're demonic. I said, I've been trying to
- 23:57Speaker 1: tell people that anything with big black eyes ain't your friend.
- 24:01Speaker 1: You know, and this gentleman said that. So anyways..
- 24:04Speaker 2: Okay, so just so people understand, when you say... He's implying...
- 24:09Speaker 2: You've got to take it slow with me here. So
- 24:12Speaker 2: he's implying to you that there are actual creatures from
- 24:18Speaker 2: another planet, correct?
- 24:21Speaker 1: Not another planet. From another dimension, which he went to.
- 24:25Speaker 1: And I already have known this.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Spiritual.
- 24:28Speaker 1: They're demons, is what he said they are. I agree.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Because we'll go back to, you remember when the Voyager
- 24:35Speaker 1: spacecraft that were launched in 77? You remember those? They
- 24:41Speaker 1: shot those probes out to find life. Well, one of
- 24:46Speaker 1: them's 18 billion miles out there in deep space. Very
- 24:50Speaker 1: interesting what they've been finding and seeing. But the scientists realized,
- 24:54Speaker 1: they said, this is strange. This thing's been floating in
- 24:56Speaker 1: space for 40 years. some years and they haven't come
- 25:00Speaker 1: across nothing, no contact, no radio signal, nothing. And yet
- 25:04Speaker 1: we've got these beings coming here and they have run
- 25:08Speaker 1: into them out there. So it was just, as the
- 25:11Speaker 1: gentleman said, the guy's name is Don Schmidt. Everybody just
- 25:15Speaker 1: Google it. Don Schmidt and his picture will show. And
- 25:19Speaker 1: he's a ufologist, but he's also making me a ground
- 25:23Speaker 1: to earth Christian. And all it does is just go
- 25:25Speaker 1: to the Bible about the war that was in heaven
- 25:27Speaker 1: and and how Satan and those demons got thrown out. Well,
- 25:30Speaker 1: they're here doing that, and that's what he said. They're demonic,
- 25:33Speaker 1: and the government is fooling with them. So it's not
- 25:36Speaker 1: going to be good because it all comes down to AI. Okay,
- 25:39Speaker 1: can I continue and finish your story? Because it gets
- 25:41Speaker 1: right to Youngstown.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Just hang on. I'm trying to... A demon is an
- 25:45Speaker 2: evil supernatural spirit often depicted in various religions, mythologies, and folklore.
- 25:54Speaker 2: It's having a negative influence on humans. The term can also...
- 25:58Speaker 2: figuratively refer to a person who is exceptionally skilled, driven,
- 26:02Speaker 2: or mischievous. So you're saying that, I'm just trying to
- 26:06Speaker 2: follow you, you're saying that if there are these so-called aliens,
- 26:13Speaker 2: that they're demons.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Well, Ron, when Art Bell used to be on, A
- 26:20Speaker 1: number of years back, he had a guy who was
- 26:22Speaker 1: a scientist. He also was a bibliologian, theologian guy. And
- 26:26Speaker 1: Art asked him a question that night. And he said,
- 26:29Speaker 1: what are they? And the guy didn't want to answer first. Art,
- 26:31Speaker 1: do you really want me to tell you? And I
- 26:33Speaker 1: turned the radio up. I said, I've got to hear this.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Because I was kind of messing with me a little bit.
- 26:36Speaker 1: What is this, you know? He said they're demons. He
- 26:40Speaker 1: said they are demons that were in heaven, that got
- 26:43Speaker 1: thrown out of heaven. and they were thrown down here,
- 26:46Speaker 1: but they're in another dimension. And he said, when you've
- 26:48Speaker 1: been around, when the universe was created, why couldn't you
- 26:52Speaker 1: make yourself look like, oh, we're from another civilization, and,
- 26:56Speaker 1: you know, we can make things float and go around
- 26:59Speaker 1: and all that, because they understand how the universe works.
- 27:02Speaker 1: We don't fully understand the universe, but they do. That's
- 27:05Speaker 1: why these ships that you see on TV, 50,000 miles
- 27:10Speaker 1: per second to go up 500 miles and stuff. They
- 27:14Speaker 1: have the understanding. So it makes total sense. And I
- 27:18Speaker 1: agree with it totally what the gentleman said. I always
- 27:20Speaker 1: thought that. I said, these aren't your friends. I mean,
- 27:23Speaker 1: most people have experiences with them. It's not friendly, Ron.
- 27:26Speaker 1: It's always like, oh, they probed me. They took some
- 27:28Speaker 1: blood and they scratched me open and put some type
- 27:30Speaker 1: of chip in me. It's never friendly. It's always horrific.
- 27:34Speaker 1: And they have nightmares and stuff.
- 27:35Speaker 2: You know that.
- 27:36Speaker 1: So, you know, it was nice to see somebody of understanding.
- 27:40Speaker 1: I mean, the man was very knowledgeable, very understanding, easy
- 27:43Speaker 1: to listen to. And he just went right to it.
- 27:45Speaker 1: He said, I'm a Christian. But he said, these are
- 27:46Speaker 1: demonic forces that our government is, they're making alliances with
- 27:50Speaker 1: these things.
- 27:51Speaker 2: So when you see some of the information that's been
- 27:54Speaker 2: released lately that's coming out of this movement, movements and
- 28:01Speaker 2: all this kind of stuff does it uh does it
- 28:04Speaker 2: jive with you do you say okay this is what
- 28:07Speaker 2: this is all this is what that's about where they
- 28:09Speaker 2: say okay take a look we don't have anything that
- 28:11Speaker 2: can move like this or act like this and.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Have you well to be honest with you ron um
- 28:18Speaker 1: like i said i i truly agree with the the
- 28:22Speaker 1: answer on that they are demonic I truly believe that
- 28:26Speaker 1: the government is fooling with them. And let me tell
- 28:28Speaker 1: you something. They could land today in front of the
- 28:30Speaker 1: White House. You know what, brother? Me and you still
- 28:33Speaker 1: are going to have to pay our taxes. Trust me.
- 28:36Speaker 1: And that's what people are looking at. Oh, they're going
- 28:38Speaker 1: to give us new technology. We won't have to pay taxes.
- 28:41Speaker 1: It's not going to change. So what? You could show
- 28:44Speaker 1: me them walking with the president or whoever. It wouldn't
- 28:47Speaker 1: matter to me. Because nothing's going to change for us
- 28:51Speaker 1: here as far as the laws go and all that.
- 28:53Speaker 1: We are still going to be having to dump tons
- 28:56Speaker 1: of money in these politicians' pockets, trust me. So it's
- 28:58Speaker 1: no good, okay? That just basically was a part of
- 29:03Speaker 1: the trip. But it was interesting. Okay, I left. I
- 29:09Speaker 1: get to Amarillo. I get to Oklahoma City. Car's driving
- 29:13Speaker 1: and performing well. I get all the way back to Illinois.
- 29:15Speaker 1: I can't stand the state of Illinois. I can't stand it.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Get to Indiana, Ron. Now I'm almost home. I'm like,
- 29:21Speaker 1: God dog it. I'm calling my mama. Mama's home, mama. Ron. Yeah. Ron.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Got to Columbus.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Got the Medina, got the, I even, uh, I drove
- 29:36Speaker 1: through Woofers. I'm a golden farm country. and came out
- 29:41Speaker 1: over there by Deerfield.
- 29:42Speaker 2: I know right where you are.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Ron.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I think about that special restaurant that you were
- 29:47Speaker 1: always advertising for in that crazy chaos circle area.
- 29:50Speaker 2: I got you.
- 29:51Speaker 1: I'm almost home, Ron. And all of a sudden, I
- 29:55Speaker 1: hit Youngstown, 680. Lord have mercy, Ron. The roads were junk.
- 30:05Speaker 1: I could not believe the horrible roads coming into this city.
- 30:09Speaker 1: And Ron, I'm like trafficking. I'm born and raised here.
- 30:13Speaker 1: And don't talk about Youngstown now, whatever. But you know what, brother?
- 30:16Speaker 1: When I got home after seeing all the whatever coming
- 30:18Speaker 1: from out to Phoenix to here, I got to the house.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I said, Mom, Youngstown's a dump. I went downtown, Ron,
- 30:29Speaker 1: to the crazy area by the post office where they
- 30:32Speaker 1: did all that stupid construction making those whatever curb obstacles
- 30:36Speaker 1: and whatever. And I did. The whole way home, Ron.
- 30:40Speaker 1: I said, Youngstown is a freaking dump. It's a dump.
- 30:45Speaker 1: And I said, what are the politicians doing with all
- 30:47Speaker 1: these millions of dollars? And, you know, I'm just glad
- 30:52Speaker 1: that my father built a nice home where we live at. It's,
- 30:54Speaker 1: you know, he did a fine job. I take care
- 30:57Speaker 1: of it very well. But as far as Youngstown goes,
- 30:59Speaker 1: it's a freaking dump. Have you gone up Market Street
- 31:02Speaker 1: up to where the old Uptown Theater used to be? Yes.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Yes, I have.
- 31:06Speaker 1: They built a park there. They built a park on
- 31:09Speaker 1: the right side. If you're going uptown towards Moore, have
- 31:11Speaker 1: you seen that park?
- 31:15Speaker 2: No, no.
- 31:16Speaker 1: It's a park across from the Rite Aid that they're
- 31:19Speaker 1: converting into a medical place right there. You can't miss it.
- 31:23Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. They built this park.
- 31:25Speaker 1: There's never no one there. I said, how many hundreds
- 31:28Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars did you spend to build this?
- 31:31Speaker 1: And no one is even there sitting on the benches,
- 31:34Speaker 1: walking through there. Another waste of money. These politicians. Let
- 31:38Speaker 1: me tell you something. When the Democrats got a hold
- 31:41Speaker 1: of this area, no, when the mob got thrown out
- 31:43Speaker 1: by the FBI, that's when this city went down the toilet.
- 31:47Speaker 1: I have a house in Conneaut. And I'm going to
- 31:51Speaker 1: tell you what, Conneaut doesn't have very much industry. It's
- 31:55Speaker 1: got some poor areas, but I'll tell you what, brother,
- 31:58Speaker 1: they don't play games up there. They are very much
- 32:00Speaker 1: about keeping your property together. You better not have trash
- 32:04Speaker 1: laying all over. You better not have cars up on blocks.
- 32:07Speaker 1: And I'm impressed with Conneaut. You come here to Youngstown,
- 32:11Speaker 1: it's a dump. And I'm sorry to say that, Youngstown,
- 32:14Speaker 1: but it's the Democrats who did this. And I got
- 32:16Speaker 1: to now gather my thoughts, Ron, and just say it's
- 32:19Speaker 1: sad that I had to go– 2,100 miles away. Bought
- 32:23Speaker 1: my mom a beautiful car. She's happy. I come home
- 32:25Speaker 1: and just came to a few closer, brother. Youngstown's a dump.
- 32:30Speaker 1: It's an absolute dump. Trees are growing out into the street,
- 32:36Speaker 1: you know? The limbs and leaves and all that. Poor managerial...
- 32:43Speaker 1: Your street sells your city. Would you not agree? If
- 32:46Speaker 1: you have beautiful streets.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I do.
- 32:49Speaker 1: And you get rid of all the dumpy old homes
- 32:51Speaker 1: that don't belong. You get rid of people who can't
- 32:53Speaker 1: take care of your house. You got to get out.
- 32:55Speaker 1: This town is pathetic. That's all I got to say.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Last but not least, I'll use the Greyhound bus station downtown.
- 33:05Speaker 1: It's a dump. It's an absolute horror. I tell you,
- 33:08Speaker 1: when people come in here on their bus and they
- 33:10Speaker 1: see downtown Youngstown, brother, they really ain't coming back. I
- 33:13Speaker 1: know they're like, I'll never go back to that ugly town.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Come on, man. Are you talking to a trafficking supporter?
- 33:20Speaker 2: You were born and raised here.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Yeah, Strauss was downtown. I used to think Youngstown was
- 33:26Speaker 1: the center of the world. What was the amusement park?
- 33:30Speaker 2: So isn't this interesting? I mean, because you went to Phoenix.
- 33:34Speaker 2: By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising.
- 33:38Speaker 2: And quoting a little Glenn Campbell, I don't know if
- 33:40Speaker 2: you're familiar with it. Yeah, I am. So by the
- 33:43Speaker 2: time you got to Phoenix and bought your mom the car,
- 33:47Speaker 2: driving back, even though you're born here, you realize when
- 33:49Speaker 2: you got back, the town you live in is a dump.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Well, okay, wait a minute, Ron.
- 33:58Speaker 2: No, no, I mean, that's what you realized when you
- 34:02Speaker 2: came back. You saw the rest of the country and said,
- 34:04Speaker 2: everything else seems a lot nicer.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Well, you know what? When I got on the plane,
- 34:09Speaker 1: I like to dress nice. It started there. I said,
- 34:13Speaker 1: when I got on the plane... I said, when it's
- 34:16Speaker 1: on the ground, people start riding the plane. Everybody's wearing
- 34:20Speaker 1: flip-flops and pajama bottoms and shower caps. Nobody dresses anymore.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I'm dressed like you would think I was kind of like, oh,
- 34:27Speaker 1: I got a bunch of young shirts or something. I
- 34:29Speaker 1: was dressed, you know, nicely, appropriately. I wasn't frightening to
- 34:32Speaker 1: the assortment. That's where it probably started. But, you know,
- 34:36Speaker 1: when I got to the dealership, the guys were excellent, nice,
- 34:39Speaker 1: wrote the carpet out for me. Every hotel I stayed at, excellent, excellent.
- 34:43Speaker 1: But the moment I get on the downward swing, I'm
- 34:46Speaker 1: getting home. And I get old 680, brother. My mouth dropped,
- 34:50Speaker 1: my heart dropped, and I said, this place is a
- 34:52Speaker 1: freaking dump. I had to talk to the car. I
- 34:54Speaker 1: know this car has never seen holes like this, and
- 34:56Speaker 1: it's like, where the hell did you bring me? You know,
- 34:59Speaker 1: I was in.
- 34:59Speaker 3: The fun and fun.
- 35:00Speaker 1: I know, I know. I named the car Lucille. I said, easy, baby.
- 35:03Speaker 1: I purposely, Ron, would drive out the way. I would
- 35:06Speaker 1: drive towards Coatesville to get on 616 and stuff to
- 35:10Speaker 1: avoid all these dismal, pothole, ripple, speed bump roads. Honest truth, brother.
- 35:18Speaker 1: Honest truth. So I just, you know, I can't argue
- 35:21Speaker 1: with you guys. You said, let's move everything out to
- 35:23Speaker 1: Austin County, Borman. You know, I want to be honest
- 35:25Speaker 1: with you. The way you come into the city, it
- 35:28Speaker 1: is depressing. I'm like, let them stay out there in Borman, Poland,
- 35:31Speaker 1: you know. It's an absolute travesty, brother. And I blame
- 35:34Speaker 1: the politicians. They get millions of dollars, and this is
- 35:38Speaker 1: the best you can do. Or you build a stupid park.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Look for it, Ron. Drive up Market Street.
- 35:43Speaker 2: That doesn't even make sense for me to even put
- 35:46Speaker 2: it there in the first place.
- 35:48Speaker 1: That's right. You know, I thought they were going to
- 35:51Speaker 1: build old senior citizen apartments. I thought that would be
- 35:55Speaker 1: nice because it's right across the street from a medical center.
- 35:58Speaker 1: And they built a stupid... Yeah, they could have worked
- 36:02Speaker 1: harder and did their checkups. But they built a park,
- 36:05Speaker 1: and I swear to you, there's never nobody there. I
- 36:09Speaker 1: have never seen kids there. And I was like, how
- 36:13Speaker 1: much money did you spend for this park?
- 36:15Speaker 3: $ 500, 000?
- 36:15Speaker 1: Probably. And it's never used. And it just shows the
- 36:20Speaker 1: corruption and the backwardness of this. And it's not coming back.
- 36:24Speaker 1: You know what, man? Oh, in short, I'm going to
- 36:28Speaker 1: get off here. A.I. You've got to be careful of A.I.
- 36:32Speaker 1: because there's a guy named Newvall. If I'm saying it right,
- 36:35Speaker 1: his last name was Newvall or Valier. got his hands
- 36:40Speaker 1: in with the government. They're building a super AI. It's
- 36:44Speaker 1: down in Tennessee. And he said, this thing is going
- 36:47Speaker 1: to dwarf Elon Musk's AI. And he said, and this
- 36:52Speaker 1: thing comes online, it'll think even faster. Now think about it.
- 36:56Speaker 1: It'll think even faster than what Musk has. He said
- 37:00Speaker 1: he'll be on the line of being able to solve
- 37:01Speaker 1: cancer and all that. Now, I'd listen for the stock
- 37:04Speaker 1: because I want the stock because it's going to be
- 37:06Speaker 1: worth something. But be careful, man. AI is not going
- 37:09Speaker 1: to be good, brother.
- 37:10Speaker 2: I loved your– thanks for calling. I enjoyed your story.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Anytime, anytime.
- 37:24Speaker 2: I thoroughly enjoyed that guy's story from his trip from
- 37:27Speaker 2: Phoenix back to Youngstown to buy his mom a car
- 37:30Speaker 2: with zero rust on it and all that kind of stuff.
- 37:32Speaker 2: The entire time he's talking, when he says, and then
- 37:34Speaker 2: I made it to Deerfield, I thought he was going
- 37:38Speaker 2: to say, and that's when the car broke. I mean,
- 37:40Speaker 2: he had me hook, line, and sinker how he was
- 37:42Speaker 2: telling that story because I'm listening to it thinking, okay,
- 37:45Speaker 2: as he's getting closer to town and he's going to
- 37:48Speaker 2: say that the car broke down or the car failed.
- 37:52Speaker 2: But that wasn't the case. He just realized, he just
- 37:54Speaker 2: looked around. Now, that's interesting. And his take on this
- 37:58Speaker 2: kind of stuff, I mean, it is intriguing, let me
- 38:02Speaker 2: put it that way, as they dribble this stuff out
- 38:05Speaker 2: with these spottings of what they call unidentified flying objects.
- 38:12Speaker 2: And you always hear these people that are the experts
- 38:14Speaker 2: at this saying, well, there's nothing that we have that
- 38:19Speaker 2: can operate like this. When you hear them interviewed on television,
- 38:23Speaker 2: when they show these videos, they show, okay, take a
- 38:26Speaker 2: look at this unidentified flying object. Look how it moves.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Look how quickly it can do that kind of stuff.
- 38:32Speaker 2: We don't have anything or so they claim that does
- 38:35Speaker 2: anything like that. Because usually when I see this kind
- 38:38Speaker 2: of stuff, I always think it's got to be something
- 38:41Speaker 2: to do with the military. Do you remember how long
- 38:44Speaker 2: ago was it that they had that concern out and
- 38:47Speaker 2: was it New Jersey and that kind of stuff? I
- 38:50Speaker 2: forget where it was. About two years ago, they were
- 38:52Speaker 2: concerned about these drones and the movement that they were making,
- 38:55Speaker 2: and they couldn't get any answers, including the local officials.
- 38:59Speaker 2: And then it ended up being some government contractor testing
- 39:02Speaker 2: out some drone-type product for the government. So it eventually
- 39:08Speaker 2: came out. So who knows what some of this stuff
- 39:11Speaker 2: is when you see it on these– you take a
- 39:14Speaker 2: look at some of these films that are coming out of–
- 39:18Speaker 2: unidentified flying objects. Now is that, and you hear those
- 39:23Speaker 2: experts say, well, we don't have anything that can do
- 39:25Speaker 2: anything like that. Mankind does not have the technology to
- 39:28Speaker 2: do the stuff that this, object is doing. So they
- 39:32Speaker 2: keep getting, putting more and more of this kind of
- 39:34Speaker 2: stuff out. And from people in the know, I guess
- 39:40Speaker 2: you would say pilots and people in the military that
- 39:43Speaker 2: spot this and record this kind of stuff. And then
- 39:46Speaker 2: you have the people that are saying, well, they're dribbling
- 39:48Speaker 2: this out slowly because when they finish, they're going to
- 39:54Speaker 2: tell you, oh, we're not alone. I don't know if
- 39:56Speaker 2: I believe that.

- 40:56Speaker 4: in which Booker talked about the cost of this war,
- 40:59Speaker 4: both American lives, but also the economic cost. And Rubio
