• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it. Where did Ted go? Let's see,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Ted?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Hello? I think I lost Ted. Okay, go ahead.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, you hear me?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir, I do.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, I just wondered, what would be so bad about
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: inviting Mr. Trump to call on your station and letting
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: your listeners have a go with him?
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's got a lot on his plate right now,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and he's probably not going to spend a lot of
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: time calling in.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: You don't think so? No, I don't think so.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: He was the kind of gutsy guy that he was
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: to get elected, man. I thought he was more of
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: a man of the people and would rise to the challenge. Anyways,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: that's just my idea. Crazy idea, maybe.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll always keep a line open for him,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: all right?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Afternoon ron double-point uh... little research uh... are part of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the the war that twenty million barrels of uh... well
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: it was coming out of the golf only two point
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: five uh... million barrels was from iran you know because
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: our oil was sanctioned back in easter once that once
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the strain is open back to be easily you know
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: replace within and you know increase uh... production i think uh...
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: really uh... What it's going to come down to, if
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: they're not going to negotiate in good faith here, we're
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: just going to have to bankrupt that country, take away
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: their oil industry. You know, if you eliminate their electricity,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: drop the bridges, and take out the oil industry completely,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that Coral Island, you know, the whole, you know, getting
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: caboodled there, where they no longer have any money coming in, hey,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they can't rebuild their military. They can't even pay their
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: own military. They certainly won't be able to export terrorism,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and they won't be able to make nuclear weapons with
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: no money. I think that may be the ticket there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You know, and where you guys are talking about parallels
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to the Vietnam War, I think the only parallels here
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: are the negotiations and the reaction. You know, if you
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: go back to the Paris peace talks with Kissinger, at
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that point, The North Vietnamese literally wanted us to unseat
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the South Vietnamese government. You know, they refused to return
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: our prisoners. And finally, Nixon had enough where he mined
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the High Front Harbor, and then he ordered the Christmas bombings.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: And we bombed them like we were bombing Germany. They
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: were right back at the negotiating table, and we were
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: able to come up with a solution there. I think
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: what it's going to come down to with Trump here,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you know, again, he doesn't like to see this destruction
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of stuff. But, you know, if you can't make sense
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: with these nut balls— Again, they think their religion is
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: we've got to have the whole world awash with blood,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: primarily our blood. Then their imam's going to climb out
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: of the well. It's been hiding down there since the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: 14th century. That's what these fools believe. We've got to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: take away their money. That way they can't harm anybody.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So what do you think he should do next then?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, so when you assess Trump with this.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Then literally eliminate the oil industry. eliminate their electricity. Can't
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: build drones or, you know, missiles if you don't have
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: any electricity. Kind of tough to do that. In fact,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: they won't even be able to live in their caves anymore.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: These rats are going to have to come up to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the surface. You know, you can only run the generators
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: for so long, and then they're If you eliminate all
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: their money, then they won't even be able to put
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: fuel in the motorboats to threaten the ships in the Gulf.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: In the short term here, let's make some squads of
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Marines available to go on the ships, because let's reduce
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: them to where they're just out there using rowboats. Not
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: be motorized. Again, eliminate their electricity, drop their bridges. Take
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: out the oil industry completely. Again, it only counts for
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: 2.5 million barrels of the 20 million that was coming
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: out of the Gulf before. That's it. You're poor.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: In fact, they'll be.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Hat in hand to the Houthis and Hezbollah. Hey, we
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: need some money here. You can't have a totalitarian regime
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: with no money there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't work.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Microwave them. All right. That's my solution.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you. News Radio 570, Dodie Cummings and Ron Furman.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: We're with you tonight until 7 o'clock. So stay tuned.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: You're on the air.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I was calling in regards to President Trump.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I've voted for him three times.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Stand by for one second. Let me do my headlines.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I'll come right back to you. Just hang in there
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for a minute. Come right back with him right after this.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: All right. A lot of debate, a lot of interesting opinions,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just like there is in the country over this situation.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your patience. Go ahead with your comments, please.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Like I said, sometimes President Trump disappoints me. Biden disappointed
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: me from day one. And as far as I really
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: know how much money we've already paid Iran, but can
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we trust them? If we give them another $ 500 billion,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: can we trust them? Five or six presidents didn't do anything.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: If it was done initially, we wouldn't have this problem today.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: This problem needed to be solved today. 50-some years ago.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And I believe if we don't do it, you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: we can't trust them one bit.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So where do you think it should go from here?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Because it seems to be just stagnating.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Well, one thing about Trump, I don't know how many
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: times he's said they're willing to negotiate. We can't believe
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: him all the time for sure. But whatever it takes
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to win this war, we need to do. We can't
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: go on with this half-buff. Let's negotiate because you know
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: they're not going to really negotiate. They're just dragging their
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: feet and making more drones. It needs to be done.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It needs to be done right away and get it
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: over with. I believe gas prices will go down, not immediately,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: but they'll go back down to what they were.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: And do you agree with some of the callers who
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: called today who thought the United States, if they should
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: nuke them, No, no.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think we need to kill all the people.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: We just need to get rid of the leaders. The
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: smartest guy in the world said the only way to
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: win a war is prevented, and that was Einstein. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: he knew the power of the nuclear bomb. No, we
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: don't need to do that. We don't need to do
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: new lives either. We can do this without many loss
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: of lives.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: What would your suggestion be on that? I mean, since
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we've done some pretty... Well, the bunker busters seem to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: be very effective, but when we had the bombing campaign,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: so what's the next step, or what do you think
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it should be?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I really don't know. I hate to see all the
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: civilians pay for this, but people can't protest. You know
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: what's happened? They're dead in a second as soon as
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: they protest. So, you know, you can't blame them for
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: being timid. You know, they just don't have a chance.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You protest, you're dead. I don't know the answer. Does anybody?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Well, we were turning to you. Listen, a lot of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: people have called with different perspectives and different thoughts about it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: If anybody knew the answer, we wouldn't have this war.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: There's really no answer.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I would say to you, you would like to think
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that you're... You would like to think that the people
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that are in charge, Rubio, Trump, and those folks know
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a lot more than, obviously, well, they obviously know a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: lot more than any of us know of what's going
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: on and what the reality is.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: These people, we hope they know more than us. We
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: trust them for that. Sometimes that's a mistake, but obviously
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: they know more than us. They wouldn't have started this
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: If they didn't think that it needed done. It needed
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: done 50 years ago, for God's sakes. You know, not now.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: It needed done 50 years ago. We should never, ever
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: gave them billions of dollars. And we gave them billions
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of dollars, and what did we get? Same old thing
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: over again. It's got to be resolved, and I don't
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: know the answer, but whatever it takes to bring them down,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: we have to do it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: 3-3-7-2-9-99-77.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: There you go. Punching the wrong buttons here. With you
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: till 7 tonight, 330-729-9977. There's different takes, just as there
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: are different takes in the entire country. I mean, from
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: when people say, well, this guy says this, this guy
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: says that. As I said earlier, you take a look
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: at this situation and you have people that know a
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: lot more than any of us that are generals that
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: don't agree with each other as far as what the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: best options are or what we should be doing. These
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: people are generals that understand military strategy and logistics and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: they don't agree. as far as how it's going or
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: what should happen or how it can go. So, I mean,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and these are people that are, you know, it's just
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: interesting to me, like I said, I try to do
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the best I can do, as I'm sure many of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you do, by reading whatever experts you can read that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: have know-how in the field. Different commentaries that you hear
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: from different generals, pro and con, to see what their
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: thought process is. And then, the financial ramifications, like I say,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: understanding what can happen economically to our own country. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to a certain extent, there are those people that say
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: that in Iran, they're sitting around saying, okay, it's a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: waiting game. And they might be sitting there in Iran saying,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we'll wait this out. Because We know the midterms are
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: coming and we know that's going to be a big effect.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, could that be their strategy? Could it be
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the strategy of Iran saying, we'll wait this out because
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: when the midterms come, everything's going to change because the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Democrats will be successful and they'll win because people will
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: be irate with inflation, high oil prices, and they'll win.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, we won't have to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: worry about this anymore. Maybe that's their strategy. I mean,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: maybe Iran's strategy is we'll wait it out. We'll put
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a hurt on the American economy as far as gas
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: prices are concerned, inflation is concerned. Maybe that is their strategy.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: We'll just wait it out. And then we'll see what
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: happens as a result of the midterms where the president
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: is losing support in his own country and the Democrats
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: might be successful. That might be their strategy, thinking that... Now,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, some people might say, well, the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Trump strategy might change as well. The Trump strategy might say, okay,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: we have to try to resolve this. Well, he got
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: in that argument the other day with Netanyahu, or so
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: they say, where he was upset because they're trying to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: negotiate something, and it seemed like Netanyahu was kind of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: sabotaging it. So he's maybe back there saying, okay, hmm,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: how can I get out of this situation now? And
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: declare a victory. I mean, so maybe that's what he's contemplating, too,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: because he's concerned about what could happen with his legacy
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and his situation at the midterms as well, because he'll
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: be neutered if the Democrats take control of the House
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and the Senate. He's neutered at that point for the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: next couple of years. So there's a lot on the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: line for everybody involved. There's a lot on the line
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: for all of us when it comes to inflation and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: gasoline prices and everyday living. There's a lot on the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: line for all of us. There's a lot on the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: line for Trump when it comes to, it's the economy,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: stupid as Carville said, can the Democrats take control of
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the House or the Senate or both? And then Trump's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: going to have serious problems then. getting anything accomplished for
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the next couple of years. And then the agenda that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he was elected on, dealing with inflation and all of
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, comes to a screeching halt because
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: he's been checkmated by the Democrats. I mean, if you
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: think this thing through, there's a lot of options that
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: are going on and a lot of things that could
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: happen as a result of the situation. And you really
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: can't predict, incidentally, Any outcome when it comes to anything militarily.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know if these things can escalate.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: That some of these other countries get more involved in it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Whether that's China or Russia. Or some of the folks
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East that get upset. They're not necessarily
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the United America's biggest fans in the Middle East. I mean,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: there's just so many moving parts about all of this
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. It's just, it's a fascinating process. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you something. I mean, I can
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: give you my thoughts, my opinion, but I find a
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: lot of people's opinions, whether I agree with them or
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: disagree with them, interesting the takes that they have as well.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: We're called kind of armchair quarterbacks on all of this
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff, but I always go back to say
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you hope that– well, you don't hope. You know the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: people that are in charge know a lot more than
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we know and probably know a lot more than a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: lot of these retired generals know that are doing some
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of the speculating and commentary. But I'm sure those generals
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: have their connections as probably know more than most of us.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: But you have to– You have to look at Iran
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and think it is economically devastated. I mean, there's the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: idea that Iran is winning. Whenever I hear that, I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: just kind of say, well, where does that come from?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Because if you take a look, I mean, their economy
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: is devastated right now. And what happens is more people,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you have a huge inflation problem in Iran. You have
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: people that aren't getting paid, whether that's their military people.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: At what point does the chaos begin? erupt in that
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: country because of the inflation and the lack of money
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: coming in to where they look around and say, okay,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: what do we do now? The problem, it's a shining example, incidentally,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: when you say about the people that go out and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: protest or want to take their, want to be more
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: active in that situation. That's an easy thing to say
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: when the government has all the guns. When you always
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: hear these people talk about our Second Amendment or giving
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: up some of your Second Amendment, the people are a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: little bit– it's difficult for them to uprise in Iran
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: when they don't have any weapons and they start doing
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: an uprise. And the next thing you know, they shoot
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: six or seven of them right in between the eyes.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And the next thing you know, the people that are
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: causing the uprise– all scatter and you don't see anything
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: more happening because they don't have anything to fight back.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: There was another thing I was reading where they were
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: making suggestions that the CIA or some covert operation should
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: also try to be secretly shipping arms to a lot
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of the people. But I don't know how you would
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: determine who you would give them to and who the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: people that want regime change would be. And then would
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: they have the training and the courage to go against
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the military in that country that would certainly have their
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: share of weapons and training? I mean, there's so many
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: pieces to this mess. Some of these experts always, there's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of pieces to it. Let's just put it
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that way. From NewsRadio 570, WKBN and Ron Verb, hello there.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Hey, Ron, you brought up a very important point I
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: thought just now about that it's awfully difficult for them
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: to go up against the government without any guns. And
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: it really speaks of American exceptionalism. A lesson we never learned,
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: it seems like, as a country, that during the Revolutionary War,
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: we had farmers that went up against the superpower of
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: the day. And they had guns, but they weren't much.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: And all odds were against them, but they spilled their
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: blood because freedom was valuable enough for them to go
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: spill their blood and give their lives. And it seems
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: like in the course of world history, every time we
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: went into a Korea or a Vietnam or Afghanistan or Iraq,
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: you name it, we were trying to do that job
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: on their behalf. But the problem was we were using
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: our young soldiers, our young Marines and Delta and Army
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: and infantry and everybody else.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: And if you do that, then the blood is cheap,
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: isn't it? They don't care if American blood is being
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: spilled kicking in doors and getting killed. That's cheap freedom,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: and that's why it never sticks. And I think that's
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: the problem that Trump is facing. And I think it's
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: a lesson we just can't seem to learn as a
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: country is you can't go over and do it for
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: them as much as we would like to until they
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: want to stand up. And I'll say this. The people
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: in the inner cities, same thing. Until they stand up
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: and say enough is enough with the crime and the
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: corruption and everything else going on, they have put themselves
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: back in bondage and they all just kind of live
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: in the problems of the city. But back to Iran specifically,
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: I think Trump was really hoping that those men of
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: fighting age would stand up. Are several thousand going to
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: get killed?
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Are you going to free millions and future generations?
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Is it worth it to them? Evidently not.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Well, they don't have the weapons. I've got to pause.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I appreciate your call, though. Some good insight. I should have,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: on the end of my line, Orange Cassidy. Orange, are
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you there?
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: I am here.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: All right, folks. Tomorrow at the Covelli Center, the AEW
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: is in town. The event begins at 7 p.m. Tickets
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: available through Ticketmaster or at the box office. And this
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: is AEW star Orange Cassidy, a two-time international champion. Now,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: for our listeners who've never been to one of these events,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and I'll get into that, explain to them what the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: AEW is.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Well, it's professional wrestling from all around the world. And
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: you'll see... live action fights and maybe some blood. Maybe
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: you'll laugh.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: You might get sad.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: You might cry, but you can boo and you can cheer.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: And I mean, I've never had anybody say they had
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: a bad time. So it's everything you want in entertainment.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: But when you hear that kind of stuff, and you
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: mentioned the term entertainment, but I mean, everybody's in real
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: shape and it's real wrestling. It's not just entertainment. I mean,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: it is the sporting aspect of it too, right? The training,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: staying in shape.
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: When I say entertainment, I'm referring to people going and
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: paying money to see something. We have some of the
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: most amazing athletes. I think, in the world. The stuff
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: that you see in person live is incredible.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: No one knows the outcomes. It's not staged or anything
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: in that sense. I mean, when you're going against your opponent,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: both of you are there to win, correct?
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, I better win because if I don't win,
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: I don't get paid more money. So I try to
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: win every time.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Well, and how disappointing is it if you fall short
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of that? I mean, do you go.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Back and– If I fall short?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: I don't get, you know, the money that I would
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: have had if I went, and then I have to
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: start from the bottom and I have to work my
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: way back up. It's just, you know, losing is not
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: great in AEW.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And do you go right back to the gym, right
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: back to training, or trying to figure out how to
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: step your game up from where you were prior to that?
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Uh, I'm too lazy for that, but somebody would do that. Uh,
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: me personally, I, uh, uh, you know, I don't think
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: that far ahead. So I just try to win it.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I'm intrigued.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: How did you get into this? I mean, I assume
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you were just a normal guy doing normal things. How
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: did you get involved in all this?
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I could say that I was, never normal if
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: I was going to get into this. I think I
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: was abnormal and then decided to do professional wrestling. Watching
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: it growing up, I got a taste of all of
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: the different types of professional wrestling from the Lucha Libre
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: in Mexico into the British.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second. Hang on, Orange.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Hang on.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I've got to do a commercial break. I'm going to
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: come back, and I want to hear the answer to that.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And more until 7 tonight. Ron Verb, stay tuned. Talking
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: with Orange Cassidy on the end of our line. He
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: is going to be tomorrow at the Covelli Center, June 6th,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: with the AEW collision. That's going to be going on tomorrow.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm always intrigued, man. So, I mean, at what
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: age did you actually say, I'm going down this road,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to train, and I'm going to get involved
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: in this?
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Well, I was always into sports, and I was amateur wrestling,
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: playing baseball, soccer, track, all that stuff. And right when
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: I was about to get into high school, I broke
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: my arm in half. And the doctors, the orthopedic surgeon
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: said he was going to have to amputate my arm.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Thank God they didn't. But because I was sidelined from
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: doing all the sports, I got really into wrestling. And
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: then I decided to build a ring in my backyard
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: when I was around 15, 16. And I got trained,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: and here I am.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: And you say when you broke your arm, it's still
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: a pretty aggressive sport where you can get a lot
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: of injuries. I mean, so have you had a lot of..
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, so I had that before wrestling, but after, while
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: I was wrestling, because I've been doing this for 20-something years,
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I broke my orbital bone in my face, my sinus,
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: I broke my right leg, I dislocated my shoulder, I
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: had a type 3 AC separation on my other shoulder,
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: and I tore my pectoral muscle just last year.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: So do you ever say as you get older and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: age and this stuff heals enough already, geez, I'm getting
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: too old for this.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: Uh, you know, that thing we were talking about earlier
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: about being normal. I don't think I'm normal. And, uh,
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: I think I just, I don't think about it.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Oh man.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: So, so you don't, uh, so you'll do it as
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: long as your body allows you to do it. How
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: old are you now?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Orange?
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Uh, I mean, allegedly I'm late 30s, but I plan
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: on going until I cannot any longer.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: All right, man.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Until the wheels fall off.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, let's hope that's no time soon.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You can see you tomorrow. What time do doors open
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: down there, do you know?
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Doors are usually around 6.30, 7, something like that. But
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: the first match before the– so we go live at 8.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: But the first– we have a couple matches to get
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: you all primed up and ready to go and get
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: ready for what you see. That's around 7.30 they start
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: those matches.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And Orange Cassidy will be there with all of his
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: systems sealed up and looking for another great night. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: enjoyed my conversation with you. I certainly hope that we
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: get a chance to talk again just to understand what
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: makes guys like you tick, man. I appreciate it. I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: wish you the best of luck tomorrow, and I hope
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: for a victory, man. Give them hell, Orange. Give them hell.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Orange Cassidy, be wrestling tomorrow. Have a good night, everybody.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend.

  Speaker 9: last month. President Trump this afternoon on Air Force One
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: saying that's better than expected.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: So we had incredible job numbers today. You saw that?
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: And we have good everything, good numbers, but the job
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: numbers just came out and they were fantastic. But as

• 27:11
  Speaker 8: He even compared it with the Education Department. which is
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: being dismantled.
• 27:15
  Speaker 10: The president brought that up and compared it to that,
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: saying this maybe should even be terminated. He wasn't specific
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: about what his plans would be, but certainly indicating he
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: wants to see Pulte go in there and shake things
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: up and limit the size of this sprawling office right
• 27:31
