  Speaker 1: All right, it's 4.07 in the afternoon news, Radio 570, WQEN,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and Ron Ferb. Let's talk economics for a bit, Frank,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: from Fort Lauderdale. What?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I was going to say the eastern Mediterranean, from
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Palestine to Lebanon, have one of the last economic untapped
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: oil fields. Gaza has 50% in Lebanon, the second largest.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: In Gaza and Lebanon's offshore carbon energy fields, in Eastern
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Europe's hydrocarbon and mineral wealth, in Africa's vast mineral wealth,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: those are the main targets of the globalists in their
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: quest for global control. And, you know, global oil production
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: is expected to peak between 2030 and 2040. The North
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Sea oil is now depleted. And when oil fracking became economic,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the U.S. overtook Russia as the largest oil producer in
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the world. But without the technology of shale oil fracking,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: global oil production would have likely peaked between 2010 and 2014. Now, Ron,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: current oil output would be at least 10 million barrels
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: per day lower than today. And this extra 10 million barrels...
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: has a short lifespan because wells experience steep production drops,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: losing 50% to 70% of output within the first year
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and requiring continuous drilling to maintain supply. So prime drilling
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: areas in the Permian Basis and other regions are running dry. Ron, fracking...
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the oil peaks and decline much faster than conventional oil fields.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So what on all of it? Listen, all I can
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: tell you is Berman, and I forget the guy I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: read Friday, these are the true oil experts in the field.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And in essence, like I said when I started, I mean,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to go over all again. Most of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the oil that we get out of the United States
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is light crude, and you can't make diesel out of it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So there's a problem. You can make gasoline out of it,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but you can't make diesel out of it. You need
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: diesel for ships, for trucking, and jet fuel. You need
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: heavy crude. You get heavy crude, as they were explaining
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to me. Oil isn't oil. I mean, as you're going on,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it's just important for people to understand stuff that it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: takes time to understand it. I didn't get it until
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I started reading what these experts are saying. They're saying
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that if you say alcohol, beer is alcohol, but so
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: is Jack Daniels. But it's all different. Well, the same
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: thing applies to oil. All I can tell you as
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you go on on this kind of stuff is we
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in the United States have light crude. It makes gasoline.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The refineries are set up for heavy crude. That's one
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of the problems. You get heavy crude from the Middle East.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You get heavy crude from Canada and from Venezuela. That's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: where you can get heavy crude, and that's why we
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: still import a lot of oil because that's where it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: comes from. The sweet crude is more difficult because of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: refineries don't– Apparently don't– I don't know if they don't
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have enough refineries to deal with it or what the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: situation is, but it's basically used for gasoline. Now, you
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: can go on with all of this. These oil experts
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: are merely saying by what Trump did is he screwed
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: everything up. Now, they're not talking politics or Zionist or
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: any of this other crap you want to do on
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a daily basis. They're just talking economics. They're not just talking. No, no, no.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to you now for a change. I know
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to you because they're just talking about what's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: happening in oil. All right. They're just talking about what
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you're going to face in oil. I mean, you want
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to go into all of this stuff, and that's all
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: they're trying to tell you. Is they're saying that, okay, basically,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: they think July's a crucial month. They don't think you'll
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: ever see $ 89 or $ 90 oil again. That it's a facade.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It's a myth. It's not me saying it. I'm reading
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: these people that are saying, you know, when they're telling
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you they're going to end, if you end this tomorrow,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: everything's going to go back to normal is a line
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of bull crap is what they're saying. That isn't going
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to happen. It can't happen. There's too many variables that
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: are going on. These guys seem to think it will
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: never go back to how it used to be. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: hope they're wrong. But these are your so-called oil analysts.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: That's their business. They're saying it'll never go back to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: how it used to be. They're saying this was a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: major mistake that Trump made and in so many facets
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of it that's going on now. When it comes to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the strait to begin with, how many ships are going
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to be willing to go through there in the future?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Will there be a fee to go through there? Look
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: at these ships that are stuck out there and continue
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to be stuck out there. And there's so many problems
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: with this. I'm not making it up. I'm not giving
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you what my thoughts are. I'm just reading what theirs are.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And they say this is a mess. And they say, and,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you want to get in all this other
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: bull crap. I would love you to get through a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: call with me without saying the word Zionist. For God's sakes, please.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: At some point. You know, these oil guys are talking
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: about basically saying Trump really screwed up. He opened a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: can of worms that's going to be very difficult to fix.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And it will never be the same. Ever.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Ever. Well, when I analyze oil stocks.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Well, these are the oil analysts, not you analyzing them.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: These are the guys. Art Berman. I'm trying to think
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of the other guy. I just read him Friday. I've
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: got to find his name again. Cicerone or Cicero. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: can't even recall. There's four of them that are considered
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: some of the best in the world. Well, those are
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the ones that they're talking to. I mean, what am
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I supposed to? These guys are saying you could see
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: $ 180 a barrel to $ 160 a barrel oil. That's what
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they're saying. They're saying this whole thing is unprecedented. It's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hard to predict anything because nothing like this has ever
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: happened before. You've got a problem in shipping now. You've
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: got a problem in the straight now. You've got a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: problem with wells shut down. You've got a problem with supply.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: That basically 20% of the oil has been off the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: world markets. Compare it to your body having 20% less
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: blood in it. It's not a good scenario. So I'm
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: just trying to tell you what they say. I mean,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I do my best to try to figure out what
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the difference is in oil and what these experts are
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: saying about what's going on in the Middle East. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: they're not too happy with what Trump did, and they
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: said they don't think it'll ever go back to being
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the same. Period.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, I.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Read the top oil analysts, too, because I do— Well.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: What are they saying? Well, what are they saying, then,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: if you read them? What are they currently saying?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: They're saying conventional fields are aging— and major new discoveries
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: are rare. More wars over oil fields could lie ahead.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I just got through with them over the weekend. Not
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a one of them were saying that. I read them
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. Two of the four, not a one
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of them said that.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Not a single one of them.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Not a one.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: The only thing they said about Canada is we import
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: six million barrels from Canada because Canada has heavy crude.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: You know, the tar sands to make diesel. Canada has
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the right kind of oil. Do you know what makes
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: light oil? I never knew this. Light crude like we
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: have in the United States, it's in the ground longer
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and it's hotter and it boils off the tar or whatever.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And because of the temperature, you can't make diesel out
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of it. I never knew this stuff until I started
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: reading it over the weekend.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: When they first discovered oil... in western Pennsylvania.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I don't give a damn about any of this stuff.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: All you basically had to do was stick a hole
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: in the ground and the sweet would come bubbling up, Ron.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're just trying to tell you what's going
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: on out there.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: You're looking to pick a fight. I'm looking to pick
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: a fight.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not looking to pick a fight. I'm looking to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: say to you, I just read them over the weekend.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I actually try to understand why these guys think things
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: are so dire. And Dyer, they think $ 180 a barrel
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to $ 160. I hope they're wrong. $ 160 a barrel. They
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: say $ 90 a barrel is ridiculous. They say shipping's going
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to be a big problem because of the insurance on shipping.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: What do you think the insurance is going to cost
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: if they ever open up the Strait again? What do
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you think the cost of that's going to go to?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many variables.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: You can get insurance. The problem is the insurance costs
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: more than what you can sell and transport the oil for.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: That's not true that you can't get insurance.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Well, according to them, they're not getting it right now,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and they're concerned with what the price will be when
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it is available.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Do you think Warren Buffett knows anything about oil?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just reading the oil experts, not
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Warren Buffett. That's what I'm telling you, the Lloyds of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: London or whoever does the insurance. You're a financial guy.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you go to the leading guys in the oil
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: industry to hear what they have to say, the lawyers?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Analysts?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Who told you I don't? You're the one that's putting
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: words in my mouth.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I read oil analysts all the time. What are they saying?
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I read car industry analysts all the time.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Well, what are the oil ones saying?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I just... talk to you about five minutes what they're saying,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and you're saying it's all bull crap. Ron, we are
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: not discovering enough new..
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going right down here. Not a one of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: them was talking about that. They're all talking about the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: problems as a result of this situation in the Middle
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: East right now. They're all saying he screwed up big
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: time in the whole chain of delivery.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're not saying, blah, this, all this stuff. You
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: took 20% of the oil off the market right now.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And we're depleting the strategic oil reserves. Trump's depleted
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: it 40% already.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That's another thing they're saying. All these strategic oil reserves
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: are being depleted to keep the costs down. It's a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: facade of what's going on.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Not only to keep the cost down, but guess who
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: else needs a lot of oil? The military-industrial complex.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's another thing. They said Russia's got the right
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: type of oil, too, with the heavy crude. Russia's going
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to do quite well with oil because that's why we're
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: kissing up to Russia right now.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Russia has the second largest oil reserves in the world.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, by the time you get done reading this stuff,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you say... If they tell you this is all in July,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: and I, honest to God, hope every one of these
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: guys are wrong. I hope they come back and say, boy,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: we really missed this. Because one thing they all say
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: is this is unprecedented, which means it's hard to say
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: one way or the other. But if they're telling you
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: they think oil is going to be $ 160 a barrel
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: or $ 180 a barrel, they say, what do you think
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that's going to do to diesel cost? What do you
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: think that's going to do to gasoline cost? So then
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you're going to see... Demand curtailed way back, and it
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: might drop down to 160. I'm just saying what they're saying.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So people won't be able to do as much, so
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it'll drop down to 160. And now you go down
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to 160, and you've still got a problem per barrel.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I know. I've been analyzing the oil and natural gas
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: industry since... the 1980s when we had the oil shocks.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't care about the 80s. I care about
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: what's going on right now. And these guys are saying
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that you read, claim you read, we've never seen anything
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like this before. It is a mess, is what they're saying.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It is an absolute mess that is not going to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be a flick of a switch and things are going
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to go back to 250-gallon gasoline.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I am the one that said if they close
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: down the streets of Bermuda's, We're going to see oil
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and natural gas soar, and that's exactly what's happened.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Well, you're going to see it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: The longer this war goes on, yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: They seem to think the prices are all manipulated at
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the present time.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, Ron. I mean, I agree with
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: these guys that you're reading, the oil analysts. The longer
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: this war goes on, the greater the chance we're going
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: to have a global depression, not a recession, a global depression.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: You know, you had a caller the other day that
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: was calling about, oh, you know, the Treasury bills, nobody's
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: forcing them to buy it. You know what's going on
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: right now? Governments are being forced to sell their Treasuries,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: number one, to pay interest on their national debt, In
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: other countries like Japan, for example, which imports 90% of
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: their oil, they're selling their treasuries because they've got to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: pay higher prices for oil. All right.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It's a mess. I mean, everyone with the... I hope
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they're wrong, because if they're not wrong, they're saying the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: crap they suspect will hit the fan in July.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Not June and July.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And you talk about, by the way, you talk about inflation.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: They're talking, what do you think when you're paying what
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: you've got to pay for jet fuel is going to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: happen to a ticket on an airline?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Ron, what's going to happen when nobody wants to buy
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: our junk bonds? The seven largest holders of U.S. treasuries
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: are selling their treasuries.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a whole other..
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I think Saudi Arabia is..
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: That's a whole other problem. 1.46... Goodbye. We'll be back.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: 570 WKBN. On the verge of a nervous breakdown. Ron
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning, 424, on a beautiful
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Monday afternoon at 74 degrees. It's already June 1st. And
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you're on the air.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I'm talking. You're listening, Ron. 570 WKBS.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Not bad. Not bad.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but listen to me. Every time I listen to
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Frank from Fort Lauderdale, I go to my..
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I go to my..
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Utility drawer and try to find a knife to cut
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: my throat. This guy's depressing as hell. He's depressing as hell, Ron.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I can't listen to your station when all these people
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: talk negative. It's not good. I need hope. When there's
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: hope in the future, there's power of positivity in the present.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? When somebody's talking doom and gloom,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, why do you want to even try? Like
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: a guy said earlier, I was listening to, he said,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: He said, you've got to uplift people. You know what
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I mean? So that with children especially, so they can
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: strive for goals. Like they were talking about, you know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: boys and girls sports. You can't go to your daughter
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: and say, guess what? I know you're working so hard.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I know you want to achieve. But there's this guy
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: that's going to steal it from you. So why even
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: get up and go to practice? Get it?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyhow, I saw that, by the way, in 85.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I got into a cab. Somebody else was there, looked
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: like a beautiful lady. All of a sudden, something fell
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: out underneath his dress, and I went, holy shit.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Don't say that. It doesn't use the S word.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Holy crap. Excuse me. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I thought, wow. I mean, this guy, this is a guy.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? So I saw that back
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: in 85 in L.A.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And did you find him attractive?
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: No. No.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I am straighter than a..
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just asking a question, that's all. I wasn't implying anything.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, you can't have six children and say
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: you're not straight.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: You don't have six kids.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I raise six children.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: You produce six kids?
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: No, three, but I raise six.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you produce three.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I wanted more, but you know what I'm saying?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: You can only pump so many out, so... I didn't
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: get married again. I didn't find somebody else. I'm not
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: a daddy baby. Is that what they call them? Baby daddy? No,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I could have done that. I didn't do that. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: know one guy said, man, I'm a daddy baby 27
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: times over. I said, damn. Are you crazy? How can
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: you do that, Ron? 27 different women.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I think you have to be an NBA basketball star.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Well, you've got to afford it, right? But no. No,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: not in this age. The government picks up the tab.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: You know, welfare and everything. Yeah. As long, you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: if you're not making money. Anyhow, let's get back to
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Chattanooga. Okay? I call it the Strait
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: of Chattanooga instead of Hamos.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: And the bottom line is, that guy you got information
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: from about the oil... You know about pricing?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: He's making gas. You know, like he's putting gas in the...
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: So he wants to let everybody know, it's going to
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: go up. It's going to stay up. And I'm going
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: to invest in my fourth generation of children. Oh, yeah,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that's what he's saying. He's trying to program us. Ron,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: let me tell you something. It's a lie. Because Trump's
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: going to fix all this, trust me.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Okay? Okay.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: And gas is going to go down to $ 1. 50 again.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. The only way you're going to
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: do that is flood the market, supply and demand.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: And that's what I'm hoping Trump... Now, they're building two
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: other refineries, you know, for light oil, like you said.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: And by the way, we get heavy oil from Venezuela
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and convert it to diesel here. You know, it comes
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: in over there at the... You know that? It comes
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: in at the New Orleans. You know what I mean?
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: So..
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: And so we got light oil, we're getting heavy oil
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: from Venezuela, and we're changing that now. He's got two
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: other plants he's building, okay? And I'm sure he's on
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: at light speed.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: All right, so that sounds like some wishful thinking. We'll
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: come back right after this. NewsRadio 570, Dodie Cary, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb. Till 6. Back at NewsRadio 570 WKVN. Back
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to it, NewsRadio 570 WKVN. Ron Ferb, it's 4.35 in
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the afternoon, and you're on the air.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Ron?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Boss Lady?
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: How are you? We're about to give you a stroke today.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Boss Lady.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm really, I'm this close. It's probably might
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: materialize tonight. It's a six 10. When I'm done with
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the broadcast, I might just go check myself into the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: loony bin.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: You got those out in your pocket or what?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, You better make sure. Right
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: there they are. Of course.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I heard Emmanuel called in and wanted to chat with
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: me about the cure for cancer and would I vote
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: for a Democrat? Am I hearing that right?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: He said he had two questions. He said, well... If
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a Democrat came up with a cure for cancer, would
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you vote for him? And of course you would. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: voted for Democrats in the past. They've disappointed me just
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: as Republicans have disappointed me. Absolutely.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Here's my question I want to ask you, though, before
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you go any further. Are you ready?
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: I'm ready.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: This has nothing to do with what everybody else said.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something that actually does bother me.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And it bothers me about something Trump is doing. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I figure I can talk to you about it because
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you'll be straightforward. All right. And this really does bother me. Listen,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I think the White House is a. How do I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: do this? It's special grounds. You know, it's the White House.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And this idea of holding a wrestling tournament at the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: White House, this I just think this is crazy. I mean,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I just, what did Biden have? Some transgender get-together there
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: or something? I mean, when I'm starting to see this stuff,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: or Trump had sold this wrestling match at the White House,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I just think that's just terrible.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Well, you're talking to a big-time wrestling fan. But listen,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: I would say it's far better than a transgender parade or,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But neither one of them. I mean, I'm not opposed
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to the kids having an Easter egg hunt, that kind
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: of stuff. But when did we say, oh, we're going
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to make this a venue, the White House, for a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: wrestling tournament?
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: You know, I think it's like..
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: It's a celebration. It's part of the celebration. It's just entertainment.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: It's the oldest sport in the world. It's exciting to watch.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you've ever watched it, but if
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: you have a fan or somebody you're following, they're exciting.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: It's one-on-one. It's nowhere to hide. It's You know, so
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, it is entertainment. I'm sure
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: if they didn't do that, they'd do something else stupid.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: So I guess pick your poison. What do you, you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, is it any different than, I mean, it's
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: far different than transgender parading around.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you think it's right?
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, to me, I think any single dollar
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: that they're spending that doesn't help relieve the cost to
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: the taxpayer is a pain in my arse right now.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: If they're spending a dollar, they could help relieve the taxpayer.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: But I could be the..
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let me back up and let me just
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: try this again. Do you think holding a wrestling tournament...
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: at the White House is something that should be going on.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's... Well, as opposed to what? What am
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I missing?
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: As opposed to nothing?
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I just think it's... I think it's just ridiculous that we...
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that something like this is going on. It's like, you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: want to do what? You want to have a tournament,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: a wrestling tournament at the White House?
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: As opposed to what? As opposed to doing nothing, then
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: do nothing.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Right, as opposed to doing... As opposed to doing nothing.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I just don't think that's what the White House is
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: there for, to hold these type of events.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see that point.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, I don't want to say it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: sacred ground, but shouldn't it be?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I'm the fun sucker, though.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: I would suck the fun out of all of it
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: and just give us back the money.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Like, how much are you spending on it?
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I guess, right? But I'm the fun sucker. I'll suck
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: the fun right out of all of it and just
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: give the taxpayer back the money and we can have
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: our own fun. I don't know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, go somewhere else to have a wrestling tournament.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems like it lowers the class
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of the White House. I mean, I'm not opposed to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the ballroom. I see a need for that. I'm going
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to give you two things. Are you ready for this?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: This is why I probably won't have a nervous breakdown
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: because I'm with my therapist now. Now, doctor.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I like the Kennedy Center. When they, oh, the Kennedy
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Trump Center. And when the court said, no, you can't
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: put his name up there because Congress named it. And
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you just, it's like, I kind of applauded that decision.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's the Kennedy Center. Keep your damn name
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: off of everything. I mean, I'm getting sick of that.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm getting sick of, oh, it's a Kennedy
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Trump Center. Right. I'm getting tired of that. See, you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: brought this on with me. Maybe you're not like my therapist.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're the problem. You brought this on because I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: found myself agreeing with you that when you watch the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: cabinet meetings, all of these people in the cabinet meetings
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: are just there kissing his arse. Oh, you're the greatest.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: And it sickens me. It's like, hey, make your point.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Stop kissing his arse. And all you know, because of you, Mr. President,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: all this greatness. And it's and it's just so it
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: is nauseating.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: But is it any more nauseating?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: It's nauseating.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: All the people in Biden's administration saying that he was coherent,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: that he was, you know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Two wrongs, boss lady. Do not make a right. And
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I can make this argument. It's not more annoying.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: It's just we're getting sick of it. I think overall
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: we're getting sick of it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's more annoying. It's just as annoying.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I am happy to see the cabinet meetings broadcast so
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that you can actually see that. You would never see
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that with Biden. Biden didn't have a cabinet meeting for
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: over a year. So I'm not opposed to any of that.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: So don't misunderstand me. I'm all for all of that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: But..
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that I get tired of the arse kissing
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: or just one right after the other. It's like they're
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: sucking up to keep their job. That's number one. So
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: you brought that on. And then when I read that decision, well,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the Kennedy Trump Center, no, take his name off of everything.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is getting a little ridiculous. I'm not
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: opposed to the ballroom. Build the ballroom. I think it
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: is needed at the White House for future events. Don't
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: put his name on it. And then this whole wrestling
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: thing started to bother me. It's like, okay, you're holding
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a wrestling match at the White House. This is like
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: historic sacred ground, if you will. I feel better now.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Do you get what I'm saying? Am I making sense
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: to you?
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: I understand your point about the cabinet meetings. It's a
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: frustration for me, too, although I love them. I wish
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: there wasn't so much of that. You could talk about
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: more things if you stopped out all the other butt kissing.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: But they're great transparency. I mean, you know, but they
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: are all posturing great. Like, but both sides, it's always
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: going to be like they posture, they use what I
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: do like about it is he uses it as an
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: opportunity to inform. He talks about progress because you're not
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: going to hear it on the news. The news isn't
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: going to tell you what, what good is happening and
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: depending on what you're watching. And, you know, most people
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: are getting their news off of TikTok right now. So it's,
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: It's good to hear these good things, but it's all
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: in between.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: It just gets nauseating.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Those are the things that just bothered me. Like I said,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: what bothered me was those things. It was like I
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: agreed with the court. Take his name off that thing.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And when I'm hearing about this wrestling match and then
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: this 250th anniversary thing, like with some of these acts
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that are canceling, First and foremost, why don't you just
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: go get some country acts? Why are you getting these
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: washed-up rock acts that are bowing out of it and
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to be around any of the controversy and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff? If you're going to do some
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: 250th anniversary, I get that for the country. That makes
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: sense to me. Then get some country stars that aren't
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: afraid of the pressure or whatever and will show up
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and put on a great show as opposed to washed-up
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: rock stars.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: What do you make of that?
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I agree with that, too. I agree with that, too.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: But, yeah, that wrestling is part of the 250. It's UFC.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want the wrestling. It's not just wrestling. It's UFC.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: And it's not wrestling. It's wrestling.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Yes, but this particular event is mixed martial arts.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: It's UFC.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't even like that. I mean, that doesn't
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: belong at the White House, either. And he said, is
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: he doing that because the guy backed him and Trump's
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: a great guy? And OK, but just like when Biden
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: didn't have that transgender thing at the White House, I thought,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: my God, come on, for God.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a little bit more polarizing. I think at
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: least with USC, what you might see are people from
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: both sides of the aisle excited about it because. don't
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: get excited about that. Well, I mean, I know.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: It's not for competition.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: You should be using that White House property to pardon
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Tom the turkey. at Thanksgiving. And the children for their
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Easter egg hunt and stuff like that. I mean, that's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: kind of what you use that property for.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I can hear your point there. I can hear your point.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: But can we get back to this Emanuel who brought
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: me up? Because I hope he's listening.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see, Ron. I think your nervous breakdown has
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: been now... cured for now. Now, can I get back
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to the point I want to make? Oh, absolutely, boss lady. Sorry,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I took your precious time.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: Well, hey, I did check on you, made sure you
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: got your little pills in your pocket. I think you're
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: calmed down. I'm not going to talk about the cost
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: of oil and the barrel, and I'm not going to
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: do all that with you right now.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I would like to make a good analogy.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Now, hang on a second. I'm going to let you
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: make an analogy for Emanuel. When you say that about... See,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: you are like a high-powered executive, okay?
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you are a highly paid... boss woman, correct?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if I would, you've, you've done
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: pretty well.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: I'm sure there's a lot of boss women doing more
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: than better women doing better than me, but yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've done that. So now I forgot exactly
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: what I was going to say. Now you distracted me
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: from that when I was saying you were, you had
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to come back to me.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: I had 2 million TikTok followers.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's like two and a half million TikTok
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: followers or whatever you're on, Facebook, TikTok, or X, or
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell it's on there. So I don't know.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: But anyway, you got..
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: Maybe it'll come to you.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I possibly will. And it was a great thought I
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: was having, and then it just vanished right out of my...
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Right out of my head.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: That's another separate section.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: We have to have a separate section.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: About that one.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I tell you, I don't know what's happening, but go ahead.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Any huge discovery or medical breakthrough that we have, I
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: don't care if they're Democrat, Republican. I don't care if
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: they're Chinese. I don't care if they're Russian. You need
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: to celebrate that. But you always vote for the worst.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: of a candidate. So everybody needs to first start there.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: So you're accepting, you vote for a candidate, you're accepting
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: all the good and all the bad sides, right? Would
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: you agree with that?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: So even the worst of their policy. So I would
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: a thousand percent celebrate whoever, I mean, please, somebody, you're
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: a cancer. I don't care who you are. I would
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: celebrate you. We could have a party. Whatever you want,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: we can do that for you. But just because someone
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: cured cancer doesn't mean that it's somebody who could run
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: the country or that you should support with a vote
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: and put them in charge of something. What if the person,
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: my analogy, cured cancer but also said that simultaneously he
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: wants to ban all cars and replace them with unicycles?
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: In the whole world, right? What if the person said
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: that every American then has to cluck like a chicken
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: three times a day? That's a dumb question, I guess
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: is my point. Of course. Right. But like you, you
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: don't just like vote. Oh, well, he cured cancer so
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: he can rule the world.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Well, no, maybe he.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Wants to put us all in frames and send us
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: to a concentration camp at the same day.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, you don't.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: No, here's this trick question. I thought you would be
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: smarter than this. I have to school you on this.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: It's very sad for me. He said it's because people say, well,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: these Democrats, they would they would be against Trump if
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he cured cancer. You hear that cliche all the time.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: So he's trying to turn the wheels.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I would not be against a Democrat.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: No, he's trying to say, oh, these Republicans would be
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: against a Democrat if he cured cancer. That's how he
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: should have phrased the question.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't be against him. I would absolutely think he is.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: participating in society in a way larger scope than anybody
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: has done and should be praised and whatever. But does
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: that mean I would put him in power? I don't know.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: I would have to know more about him.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't know.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, is he going to ban..
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Well, okay. Let me try it again. You're missing the point.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I think he's saying... Well, like, we say there's people
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that wouldn't vote for Trump no matter what he did.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: He's trying to say there's people... that are Trump supporters
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: who would never vote for Democrat, no matter what they did. That's,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: but see, I don't, I don't fall for that because
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I said to.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: Him, I voted not, I vote, I would absolutely vote
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: off of the party if I thought that I had
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: a better alternative.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Right. You would vote for a Democrat if they, uh, uh,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: As an American. And I don't mean to put tampons
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: in men's room or all this craziness. These Democrats, these
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: far left Democrats are. But if you thought there was
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: a competent Democrat that could run the country well and
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: you agreed with on his economic policies. you would vote
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: for him as an American. That's, I think, is what
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: he's asking. But, you see, I said that I voted
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: for Democrats and Republicans, and I ask you this because,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: as you revealed the other day, you're certainly not a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: spring chicken. I mean, you've got a lot of miles
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: on you for your age.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not that old, but, I mean, I'm
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: getting there, yeah.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, right. I mean, there's some miles on the odometer.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: But so, I don't know. I don't know what to
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: make of it all. And then here's the other thing
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: about this company.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Stand by.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Just stand by. Stand by. It's the boss lady. And
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: we'll come back with her. So stay tuned. Blacktown's news, weather,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and talk station, 570 WKBN. Hidey-ho, 457. All right, boss lady,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: what is it that you wanted to say?
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, about the Epstein stuff.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: I am, you know, I go back and forth with
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: this because initially I'm outraged. I want the way we
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: all envision.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Justice. You want justice.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: Justice.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: We envisioned this list coming out and all of the
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: people prosecuted.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Yes. Right? Yes.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: But we all know that part of that is just
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: because you're on a flight record, there's a photograph, there's
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: a social association, or it's not proof enough to put
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: anybody in jail. If you don't have the victim willing
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: to testify.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: And in many cases, that is, I'm not going to
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: say it's a whole struggle, it's a major struggle. These
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: victims are not coming forward. You can't just say..
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a bunch of them who are coming forward.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's deal with the ones who are coming forward.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, if there are videos or if there is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: proof that these men were engaging in sex with minor females,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: then they should be prosecuted.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: And these women are settling... cases, I believe, outside of
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: the scope of the media and what's happening. I mean,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: I was looking that up.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Stand by. I'll let her finish her
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: thought on that. Then I get to more calls. We're
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: here till six. And then the Rockport Wealth Truth Investing Program,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Ron Verb from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: From ABC News.
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: Davis, anchor of Prime, streaming weeknights on ABC News Live.
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: The Justice Department says it will abide by a federal
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: judge's temporary hold on using a $ 1. 8 billion so-called anti-weaponization fund,
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: which was created as part of President Trump's IRS lawsuit settlement.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: A social media post from the Justice Department says officials
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: strongly disagree with last week's ruling by a federal judge
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: in Virginia temporarily freezing the fund pending a hearing she
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: set for the end of next week. The department says
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: it will abide by that ruling. That, as more Congressional
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: Republicans express their opposition to the idea of handing out
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: up to $ 1. 8 billion of taxpayer money to those who've
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: been accused of or convicted of crime.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: ABC's Stephen Portnoy.
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: In Florida, state officials are suing OpenAI, claiming the company
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: is putting profits above safety.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Florida's Attorney General alleges OpenAI doesn't do enough to prevent
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: harmful or criminal behavior on its platform, and that puts
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: children at risk. State AG James Ulfmeyer cites instances of
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: people using ChatGPT before acts of violence, including last year's
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: shooting at Florida State University. In response, OpenAI told ABC
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: News it already has safety measures in place to redirect
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: people to mental health resources if it detects them going
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: down a dark path, adding it's committed to getting this right.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Mike Daboski, ABC News.
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: President Trump says he spoke with Israel's leader and Hezbollah
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: mediators and both have agreed to pause fighting. It comes
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: after Iranian media reported Tehran was suspending talks with the U.S.
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon. ABC's Tom Sufi-Burge is
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: in Jerusalem and says Iran is keeping the pressure up
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: on its nuclear ambitions.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: Despite all of the pressure, the Iranians are still maintaining
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: that they want something out of this negotiation, that they're
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: not just willing to give up their nuclear program wholesale.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: That seems to be the case, and that is what
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: President Trump wants.
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: In Laos, crews are racing to rescue two remaining miners
• 39:47

• 39:50
