- 0:03Speaker 1: Wednesday, May 27th. 76 degrees. Callers, be patient. I'm going
- 0:09Speaker 1: to get to all of you in just a minute.
- 0:11Speaker 1: G2 going to be with me until 630 tonight as well, correct?
- 0:15Speaker 3: Yes. Yes.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Are you sure? You seem hesitant.
- 0:19Speaker 3: No, I could. It's possible I go a little longer,
- 0:21Speaker 3: but I'm definitely here until 630. And it just seems
- 0:23Speaker 3: like there's just so much to cover. And it's astonishing.
- 0:28Speaker 3: That segment with Dave Thomas, that was fantastic because, you know,
- 0:32Speaker 3: here's a guy that's actually getting on the radio and
- 0:34Speaker 3: explaining what the legislature is doing, where most of the
- 0:36Speaker 3: time all you get are, you know, odd talking points.
- 0:39Speaker 3: That was extremely helpful. And this revelation about this incredible
- 0:44Speaker 3: problem with the data centers, you know, there are industries
- 0:48Speaker 3: that struggle to make economics work for Greenfield projects, and
- 0:52Speaker 3: they need sometimes some incentives. And the best incentives, of course,
- 0:56Speaker 3: are off-ramps to support traffic for your trucks, or maybe
- 1:00Speaker 3: some rail service support, something like that, right? Logistics, the
- 1:03Speaker 3: things that are the infrastructure that make it possible to
- 1:07Speaker 3: build a new manufacturing facility or whatnot. But more and more,
- 1:10Speaker 3: we see ridiculously unnecessary amounts going to companies that don't
- 1:14Speaker 3: need them. I would point immediately to the Intel CHIPS
- 1:18Speaker 3: Act nonsense. We're getting companies like Samsung, $ 6. 4 billion. Intel
- 1:22Speaker 3: got from the local, state, and federal like $ 4. 4 billion.
- 1:29Speaker 3: And for what? So they could build new production capacity?
- 1:32Speaker 3: Now you've got this anthropic. It's worth $ 1. 4 trillion. And
- 1:36Speaker 3: this is a problem we're going to have to dig
- 1:38Speaker 3: into over the next couple of weeks. But this anthropic
- 1:41Speaker 3: valuation of $ 1. 4 trillion is based on nothing. They don't
- 1:45Speaker 3: have a revenue model that supports it. They don't have
- 1:47Speaker 3: a demand infrastructure, a demand level that supports it. The
- 1:52Speaker 3: only way that valuation works is if the entire economy
- 1:55Speaker 3: is repurposed and these people are holding the keys to
- 2:00Speaker 3: the limited access to AI. Now, you know that's not
- 2:04Speaker 3: going to be the case because AI is going to
- 2:06Speaker 3: be proliferated. And to your point about not needing..
- 2:11Speaker 1: Uh..
- 2:11Speaker 3: Incentives building these things anywhere they could find flat ground
- 2:15Speaker 3: they're using eminent domain to steal people's farms so the
- 2:19Speaker 3: trillion dollar companies and and the richest men in the
- 2:21Speaker 3: world can build these facilities and make more money and
- 2:25Speaker 3: they're taking away family farms that are hundreds of years
- 2:28Speaker 3: old and repurposing that this is in the public good
- 2:31Speaker 3: which is of course required when they use eminent domain
- 2:35Speaker 3: so they're chewing up farmland They then tune up farmland
- 2:38Speaker 3: for the power supply to get to these places. Of course,
- 2:41Speaker 3: they go to the rural areas because you've got lower
- 2:43Speaker 3: regulatory levels. You don't have the urban problem with these
- 2:46Speaker 3: corrupt governments in the cities. You don't have to pay
- 2:49Speaker 3: off the politicians with direct cash the way you do
- 2:51Speaker 3: in the big cities. And they don't have the same
- 2:54Speaker 3: level of fight. There just aren't enough people to fight them.
- 2:57Speaker 3: So they get these deals in and get them done.
- 3:00Speaker 3: And then the public finds out, and they don't have
- 3:02Speaker 3: any power because they don't have any numbers. They don't
- 3:04Speaker 3: have any organization or money. So this thing has gone
- 3:07Speaker 3: so far off the rails. Look, I use AI every
- 3:10Speaker 3: single day. So, yes, we're going to have AI. But
- 3:14Speaker 3: there has been no case put together that demonstrates a
- 3:17Speaker 3: need for the kind of build-out that we're going through.
- 3:20Speaker 3: And we're being told by people like Kevin O'Leary, we
- 3:23Speaker 3: have to bear the cost of this, either through electric
- 3:26Speaker 3: and water costs or through that plus subscriptions through tax abatements.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Whatever way we have to bear it, we have to
- 3:32Speaker 3: bear it because him and his billionaire pals... yet they
- 3:35Speaker 3: live for free on our backs. Now, that's insulting. Now,
- 3:39Speaker 3: the other problem with this AI, you know whose information
- 3:42Speaker 3: they're using? Everybody's. In other words, they're stealing our content
- 3:46Speaker 3: and data. If you make a post on a social
- 3:48Speaker 3: media platform, they're stealing that to use for themselves. If
- 3:51Speaker 3: you write a letter that goes online, if you send
- 3:54Speaker 3: an email, if you, you know, like a place like Google,
- 3:57Speaker 3: the surveillance system, If you produce a book or a
- 4:01Speaker 3: podcast or a magazine article, anything you do, they take
- 4:05Speaker 3: for free. Is Anthropic going to pay you when they
- 4:09Speaker 3: use the letter to the editor that you wrote on Vindi.com? No,
- 4:13Speaker 3: they're not. So they're living off of us by sucking
- 4:17Speaker 3: out our content. They're taking our personal records, which for
- 4:20Speaker 3: some reason our government decided to put online. They're taking
- 4:23Speaker 3: all of that. And we get nothing back. Then we
- 4:27Speaker 3: have to subsidize it with tax abatements. Then we have
- 4:29Speaker 3: to pay more for water. Then we have to pay
- 4:31Speaker 3: more for power. Then we have to surrender our farmland,
- 4:34Speaker 3: some of the most fertile farmland in the world, so
- 4:38Speaker 3: that these people could put in centers that drive the
- 4:41Speaker 3: most oppressive surveillance system we can imagine. The average American,
- 4:46Speaker 3: I don't think we can understand the level of surveillance
- 4:49Speaker 3: and oppression these people are planning. You have to go
- 4:52Speaker 3: listen to their speeches at the World Economic Forum. Like
- 4:54Speaker 3: the one a few years ago when they said, listen,
- 4:56Speaker 3: we think we can get a bug to bite people
- 4:59Speaker 3: and they'll be allergic to red meat so we can
- 5:00Speaker 3: get them to stop eating red meat. Suddenly we got
- 5:02Speaker 3: the lone star tick. There's a direct correlation between what
- 5:05Speaker 3: they say at Davos and what happens in our lives.
- 5:09Speaker 3: I'm telling you what they're planning with these things is
- 5:11Speaker 3: an oppressive surveillance state of the kind that we've never imagined,
- 5:15Speaker 3: maybe outside of Fahrenheit 451 and and 1984, books like that.
- 5:23Speaker 3: So I think you're dead on, Target, when you say
- 5:26Speaker 3: no subsidies. In fact, I think if they're going to
- 5:28Speaker 3: use your land, water, and not only should they neutralize
- 5:30Speaker 3: their impact on your cost, they should be building their
- 5:32Speaker 3: own power, not after they need it, before they need it,
- 5:37Speaker 3: and they should be paying premiums. If you're going to
- 5:40Speaker 3: go build in our town, you should come up front
- 5:42Speaker 3: with a cash deposit. Now, there's one more point. Decommissioning.
- 5:47Speaker 3: You know, when you go out and build a mine,
- 5:49Speaker 3: if you're going to build a mine, you've got to
- 5:51Speaker 3: have in place a remediation plan that will restore that
- 5:54Speaker 3: land to its natural condition as best you can. It's
- 5:58Speaker 3: obviously not going to return a mountaintop to West Virginia,
- 6:00Speaker 3: but it'll leave a flat space that's been cleaned up
- 6:04Speaker 3: and is planted and can be green. These guys are
- 6:09Speaker 3: building these things so fast. Does anybody think that they're
- 6:12Speaker 3: going to be used over a 10-year period? They're going
- 6:15Speaker 3: to build them, and they're going to be outdated. There's
- 6:17Speaker 3: an old thing called Moore's Law they used to talk
- 6:19Speaker 3: about all the time, how computing power was growing exponentially.
- 6:23Speaker 3: And so when you buy a laptop, it's already outdated
- 6:26Speaker 3: because the new chips are already coming, right? So there's
- 6:28Speaker 3: this constant drive for increased power, increased performance, increased storage,
- 6:33Speaker 3: increased capability. You think that's not going to affect AI
- 6:36Speaker 3: data centers? So they're building these massive facilities... And in
- 6:41Speaker 3: a few years, they may be empty, rotting hulks, and
- 6:44Speaker 3: they may have to go build another new one, just
- 6:46Speaker 3: like they replace their laptops every two years. So we
- 6:51Speaker 3: need remediation or decommissioning provisions in every contract for every
- 6:56Speaker 3: data center. If you stop using it, the building has
- 7:00Speaker 3: to be razed and a lot returned to its normal state. Now,
- 7:04Speaker 3: why razed? I suspect that some of these buildings are
- 7:07Speaker 3: going to be so custom, that you're not going to
- 7:09Speaker 3: be able to repurpose the building. You're not going to
- 7:11Speaker 3: take out a data center and put in a food
- 7:13Speaker 3: warehouse or a manufacturing facility or anything else. I suspect
- 7:17Speaker 3: that some of these are going to be so customized
- 7:19Speaker 3: that that's not going to work. And then the volume.
- 7:22Speaker 3: There are buildings so many, we don't expect them to
- 7:26Speaker 3: need this much volume, space, land, and computing power in
- 7:29Speaker 3: 10 years, right? Just like we shrunk our phones, we
- 7:32Speaker 3: shrunk our laptops, we shrunk everything. These things are going
- 7:35Speaker 3: to get smaller. They're going to demand less water. There's
- 7:37Speaker 3: good new technology developments around cooling. They're going to require less.
- 7:41Speaker 3: They're going to get smaller. And so we're going to
- 7:44Speaker 3: end up with these hulks across the country with nobody
- 7:47Speaker 3: to take them out because we don't know the structure. Yes,
- 7:50Speaker 3: it might be anthropic that's paying for it, but who
- 7:53Speaker 3: are they buying the service from? Is it a supply agreement?
- 7:56Speaker 3: Is it direct owned? Because if it's a supply agreement
- 7:59Speaker 3: from an anthropic subsidiary through a sort of what might
- 8:03Speaker 3: call a ring fence, like an isolating legal structure, into
- 8:08Speaker 3: another entity that then owns and operates it, all they
- 8:11Speaker 3: have to do is break that contract or let it
- 8:13Speaker 3: turn out, and then that facility is unfunded. So who's
- 8:18Speaker 3: going to own it, and what's the remediation plan? How
- 8:20Speaker 3: will you decommission this facility and return that land to
- 8:24Speaker 3: its prior state? So I'm saying that the story has
- 8:28Speaker 3: changed from, hey, we're going to build a couple of
- 8:30Speaker 3: more data centers. Now it's, we're going to pave the
- 8:33Speaker 3: planet in data centers. And if you ask a question,
- 8:37Speaker 3: all I have to say is one word to stop you.
- 8:39Speaker 4: China.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Now, they don't tell us why China's a threat or
- 8:42Speaker 3: how the two compare or where we are versus them
- 8:45Speaker 3: or how this is going to save us. Just China,
- 8:47Speaker 3: live in fear. So, you know, that's where I think
- 8:54Speaker 3: we've gone with these things. They're so big, so common,
- 8:57Speaker 3: they're happening so fast, so many places. These local governments
- 9:00Speaker 3: are completely unprepared to deal with this, and something.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Has to be done.
- 9:05Speaker 3: So I'm glad that Dave Thomas says that they're putting
- 9:07Speaker 3: together a working group or whatever he called it, and
- 9:09Speaker 3: that they're going to propose legislation to begin handling this.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Because I'm telling you, your average township supervisor is not
- 9:16Speaker 3: prepared to deal with Anthropic and Microsoft and power contracts.
- 9:23Speaker 3: and all these complexities of building this kind of building.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Well, they actually wanted to go around any local control.
- 9:29Speaker 1: As I was reading, the federal government wanted to supersede
- 9:33Speaker 1: your local zoning and any local regulation that you would have.
- 9:38Speaker 1: They wanted to basically take the local community totally out
- 9:41Speaker 1: of it.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Well, if they do that, then all the contributions and
- 9:45Speaker 3: all the payoffs would just go to Congress. They wouldn't
- 9:48Speaker 3: have to share it with your local officials.
- 9:50Speaker 1: But I'm saying they didn't want zoning. They didn't want
- 9:54Speaker 1: anything to interfere with it, which is just a crock
- 9:56Speaker 1: of crap. The local community. that's where you live. That's
- 10:02Speaker 1: the purpose of your local officials, your local zoning, and
- 10:06Speaker 1: what have you, and to try to take that out
- 10:08Speaker 1: of the mix for a data center or anything. is
- 10:12Speaker 1: just flat out wrong. I want to go back and
- 10:16Speaker 1: ask you about this. So, incidentally, the governor today, as
- 10:20Speaker 1: a result of it coming out, that because of his
- 10:24Speaker 1: lack of sales tax on data centers purchasing the materials
- 10:28Speaker 1: to build them has cost the state $ 2 billion because
- 10:32Speaker 1: that information has come public. And by God, we make
- 10:35Speaker 1: it public. What a coincidence.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 10:38Speaker 1: As we're bellyaching about it this afternoon, he decides we're
- 10:42Speaker 1: going to pause this program. And justly so that he
- 10:47Speaker 1: puts it on pause today because the information's out there
- 10:51Speaker 1: and we're bellyaching about it, as we should be. And
- 10:54Speaker 1: then Dave Thomas has championed this so that it can't
- 10:58Speaker 1: be unpaused, which I agree with him there. But I
- 11:01Speaker 1: want to go back to you. AI centers are going
- 11:05Speaker 1: to happen, and you're saying– you're concerned about the surveillance
- 11:11Speaker 1: state that they will create. Explain to people why you're
- 11:17Speaker 1: concerned about what you think they will bring.
- 11:21Speaker 3: So the whole purpose of these things is to compile
- 11:24Speaker 3: all the data on all of us, right? And whether
- 11:26Speaker 3: you do it for commercial purposes or other purposes, it
- 11:28Speaker 3: doesn't matter. But if you ask Grok to go out
- 11:32Speaker 3: and create an image, it goes out and searches the
- 11:34Speaker 3: Internet for other images and then mimics those. And so
- 11:39Speaker 3: they're constantly tapping into our data. And what the goal
- 11:44Speaker 3: here is, is that you will have a wearable device
- 11:47Speaker 3: on your arm that will transmit your health data in
- 11:50Speaker 3: real time to an AI data center. And it'll be
- 11:52Speaker 3: not just cataloging this. So HIPAA, gone. Because the billionaires
- 11:57Speaker 3: that got you to buy that stupid watch now own
- 12:00Speaker 3: your healthcare data. And from one of these surveillance watches,
- 12:04Speaker 3: like an Apple Watch, they can tell your heart rate
- 12:06Speaker 3: when you're excited, when you're not, when you're moving, when
- 12:08Speaker 3: you're sedentary. And they measure and quantify all of that.
- 12:12Speaker 3: They're going to be able to build a profile on
- 12:13Speaker 3: us that is incredibly detailed. That's going to take a
- 12:16Speaker 3: huge amount of capacity. Then they can use that data
- 12:20Speaker 3: to market drugs to you, to recommend you go somewhere
- 12:24Speaker 3: and buy something.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Or..
- 12:26Speaker 3: In case of another COVID, to turn to the government
- 12:29Speaker 3: and say, this person has a fever. So you should
- 12:32Speaker 3: go pick them up and put them in a camp. Now,
- 12:34Speaker 3: you'd think that's silly if you forgot that in Australia,
- 12:39Speaker 3: during the lockdowns, they were literally doing that. The army
- 12:41Speaker 3: would come out and pick people up and take them
- 12:43Speaker 3: to camps if they were suspected of being infected, even
- 12:46Speaker 3: if they showed no symptoms. So that, you know, hey,
- 12:50Speaker 3: go get this person. They're showing some symptoms or we
- 12:53Speaker 3: have some reason to believe. They're going to listen. They
- 12:55Speaker 3: want your car to listen to every single word you say,
- 12:58Speaker 3: monitor your eye movements and your body functions, and surveil
- 13:03Speaker 3: that and report it back in real time. Now, you're
- 13:06Speaker 3: going to have to buy a car and pay for
- 13:07Speaker 3: this technology, but that's why, one of the reasons they
- 13:11Speaker 3: got rid of Massey, because he was fighting that. So... So,
- 13:16Speaker 3: you know, the idea would be that they monitor every
- 13:18Speaker 3: element of your home, your car, and your body. They're
- 13:21Speaker 3: going to monitor every word you utter and every word
- 13:24Speaker 3: you type, every comment you make, and they're going to
- 13:28Speaker 3: know everything about you. Now, you want to disagree with
- 13:31Speaker 3: the government? You know how it works in China, man.
- 13:33Speaker 3: You've got to get a pass to move from one
- 13:35Speaker 3: part of the city to another. In many cases, you
- 13:38Speaker 3: have to have a pass to get on a bus,
- 13:40Speaker 3: and you're refused if you don't have the right social
- 13:42Speaker 3: credit score. All of the things that China's doing and
- 13:45Speaker 3: India's doing are what is envisioned for us. We will
- 13:49Speaker 3: all have a digital ID. All of our interactions with
- 13:51Speaker 3: the government will be based on that idea. And then
- 13:54Speaker 3: all of our interactions with everything will be based on
- 13:56Speaker 3: that ID. And we will be surveilled at a level
- 13:58Speaker 3: we can't imagine. You got some wrong thinking? Look what
- 14:02Speaker 3: they tried to do during the Biden administration. You think wrong?
- 14:06Speaker 3: And you can hear people now. They talk about it
- 14:08Speaker 3: in the 70s about Fox News about every 15 minutes.
- 14:11Speaker 3: You think it's all there is going on in this country.
- 14:13Speaker 3: There are people that put in laws that say if
- 14:15Speaker 3: you criticize Israel, you should go to jail. In Canada,
- 14:19Speaker 3: in England, in these other countries, if you put up
- 14:22Speaker 3: a post that's critical of the government, you go to jail.
- 14:25Speaker 3: A guy... I've said this many times, but a guy
- 14:29Speaker 3: in England complained that his daughter was raped by a migrant.
- 14:35Speaker 3: He got, I think, two years in jail for that. So...
- 14:39Speaker 3: So we're moving into a state where we create this
- 14:42Speaker 3: concept called hate speech, and your speech is going to
- 14:45Speaker 3: be monitored all the time. And you will be serving
- 14:48Speaker 3: time or be fined or get a lower credit score
- 14:51Speaker 3: if you're saying the wrong things. That's what I'm talking about.
- 14:54Speaker 3: The amount of computing power they're building is not to
- 14:57Speaker 3: make sure you have good directions to get to your
- 15:00Speaker 3: vacation rental. The kind of capacity they're building is to
- 15:04Speaker 3: surveil every aspect of your life.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Don't you think they're doing a lot of that currently?
- 15:08Speaker 1: I mean, with your cell phone, with anything you Google.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I mean, they know so much about you. I think
- 15:15Speaker 1: it would be alarming to people how much they know
- 15:18Speaker 1: about you, your age, medications you're on. I think they
- 15:23Speaker 1: know so much about you now. From a marketing standpoint,
- 15:27Speaker 1: it's unbelievable.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's kind of, yes, that's true, but it's
- 15:31Speaker 3: somewhat in the early stages. So Google, for instance, queried
- 15:35Speaker 3: the U.S. government and used to write a FOIA request
- 15:39Speaker 3: to try to get all of our health care data.
- 15:41Speaker 3: And they said, you could take off the identifying information.
- 15:44Speaker 3: We just need to know what number of people in
- 15:47Speaker 3: what area, you know, like we just need the overall data.
- 15:50Speaker 3: We don't need the ID so you can respect HIPAA.
- 15:53Speaker 3: The reason Google could use just the information and not
- 15:56Speaker 3: the names is because they're tracking your location through Google Maps.
- 16:00Speaker 3: So they know if you go to an oncology center
- 16:02Speaker 3: four times in a certain number of weeks, you or
- 16:05Speaker 3: someone in your family is having cancer problems. So they said,
- 16:09Speaker 3: we can match up the data from the government with
- 16:11Speaker 3: our Google Maps data, and we'll know who they are,
- 16:14Speaker 3: and then we can start marketing to them.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Exactly right. We can hit them with a commercial because
- 16:19Speaker 1: we know they're going in Home Depot. We hit them
- 16:21Speaker 1: with a Lowe's commercial or something along those lines. Standby, G2.
- 16:25Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570, WKBN, and Ron Verbe with you until 7 tonight.
- 16:29Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, May 27th at 76 degrees. Ron Verbe from
- 16:33Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Mahoning. Stay tuned. News Radio 570 WKBN.
- 16:39Speaker 1: And Ron Furb back with G2. You mentioned something else
- 16:42Speaker 1: that I want to lay on you and get you
- 16:45Speaker 1: to elaborate a little bit more on. And it has
- 16:48Speaker 1: to do with, and I once was talking about a book,
- 16:51Speaker 1: Lyme disease came from an area by a government bio lab,
- 16:57Speaker 1: if you will, in New York. It was in islands, okay,
- 17:01Speaker 1: that's where they were working on ticks with Lyme disease.
- 17:06Speaker 1: You follow me?
- 17:07Speaker 3: From Ireland, yeah.
- 17:10Speaker 1: And they felt this was safe because it was an
- 17:12Speaker 1: island and the ticks couldn't get off of there. They
- 17:16Speaker 1: didn't anticipate the deer would swim or the birds would
- 17:19Speaker 1: fly and take the ticks elsewhere. That's why it's called
- 17:24Speaker 1: Lyme disease because it's around, I think, the areas Lyme,
- 17:29Speaker 1: New York, or whatever it is. It's named after that area. Yeah.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I think it was called Plum Island, and of course
- 17:35Speaker 3: they denied this, but it was called Plum Island, and
- 17:38Speaker 3: it was being developed as a weapon because they thought
- 17:40Speaker 3: if you dropped it onto a battlefield, we could take
- 17:43Speaker 3: out the enemy without having to get in and damage
- 17:45Speaker 3: the infrastructure.
- 17:47Speaker 5: Right.
- 17:47Speaker 1: I mean, this is how moronic these people are. This
- 17:51Speaker 1: is how frightening these labs are, because, well, we'll drop
- 17:54Speaker 1: that on the enemy. forgetting that, well, these bugs aren't
- 17:58Speaker 1: going to go away once they infect the enemy. They're
- 18:01Speaker 1: just going to multiply, and it's going to become a
- 18:03Speaker 1: big problem. That's what I'm saying. So that's the origins
- 18:08Speaker 1: of Lyme disease, as well as, I believe, Rocky Mountain
- 18:10Speaker 1: spotted fever, that created in a lab, these bio labs,
- 18:16Speaker 1: for these purposes, and it got out. Just a quick answer.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? Because I do.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. I think that's happened a lot, and
- 18:25Speaker 3: I think that's why we went from the Defense Threat
- 18:28Speaker 3: Reduction Agency, or DITRA, which was decommissioning biolabs, to having
- 18:34Speaker 3: biolabs all over Ukraine and then all over the world
- 18:38Speaker 3: doing this kind of work to determine if these diseases
- 18:41Speaker 3: could be used as weapons. And then, of course, you've
- 18:44Speaker 3: got the Bill Gates and others doing things like genetically
- 18:46Speaker 3: modifying vaccines mosquitoes and this bizarre work that's going on,
- 18:51Speaker 3: all of which spells doom for us.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Right. So let's back up. So just talking about Rocky
- 18:57Speaker 1: Mountain spotted fever. And incidentally, you know, I had a
- 19:00Speaker 1: cousin who died from that, of Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
- 19:04Speaker 1: He got bit by a tick and died from Rocky
- 19:06Speaker 1: Mountain spotted fever. And so, and we're hearing all about
- 19:11Speaker 1: ticks and Lyme disease in our community. But all of
- 19:14Speaker 1: a sudden, you had all these people, and I want
- 19:17Speaker 1: you to elaborate on this, Bill Gates talking about how
- 19:21Speaker 1: we shouldn't be eating meat and all this stuff. And
- 19:23Speaker 1: lo and behold, out of nowhere comes this new tick
- 19:27Speaker 1: that if it bites you, you'll never eat meat again.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Just talk about that when you're talking about Davos and this.
- 19:35Speaker 1: I want you to elaborate on that.
- 19:37Speaker 3: All right, so a member of the World Economic Forum,
- 19:40Speaker 3: or a presenter at their Davos retreat a few years ago,
- 19:44Speaker 3: sat and said, you know, again, climate, everything's about CO2
- 19:47Speaker 3: because these people are still selling the idea that CO2
- 19:49Speaker 3: is a problem. So CO2 is a problem. We have
- 19:53Speaker 3: to reduce that. Cattle create CO2. We would like people
- 19:57Speaker 3: to switch to lab-grown meats, which we can control then even,
- 19:59Speaker 3: you know, what goes in their bodies entirely. And so
- 20:03Speaker 3: what we want to do is get them to stop
- 20:04Speaker 3: eating red meat. We could do that with a disease.
- 20:06Speaker 3: If we create a disease that makes them allergic to
- 20:09Speaker 3: red meat, they will stop eating it. And a couple
- 20:11Speaker 3: of years later, we've got Lone Star Tick news all
- 20:14Speaker 3: over the media talking about how if you get bit,
- 20:18Speaker 3: you will not any longer be able to eat meat.
- 20:22Speaker 3: And people are saying, yeah, I got it, you know.
- 20:24Speaker 3: So it's another problem that we didn't have in 19,
- 20:28Speaker 3: I don't know, and the incredible level of other diseases
- 20:38Speaker 3: that we're having that we just didn't have before. And suddenly,
- 20:42Speaker 3: we have them everywhere.
- 20:43Speaker 1: But here's Gates talking about, we've got to stop eating
- 20:46Speaker 1: meat and make manufactured meat. And if you get bit
- 20:48Speaker 1: by this tick, some people, they say, if you drive
- 20:50Speaker 1: by a Burger King and smell a burger's been cooked,
- 20:53Speaker 1: you get sick. You'll get ill. That's how much you
- 20:56Speaker 1: can't eat this. But out of nowhere, all of a sudden,
- 20:59Speaker 1: these people that are talking about making you a vegetarian,
- 21:03Speaker 1: this tick materializes. You can't tell me that that wasn't
- 21:06Speaker 1: made in a lab by these wackos for that purpose,
- 21:10Speaker 1: which is something we have to be concerned about in
- 21:12Speaker 1: our community now.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Absolutely, and these guys aren't done. You know, the contrails
- 21:19Speaker 3: that are now chemtrails. I was going to send you
- 21:20Speaker 3: a text last night and say, hey, aren't they a
- 21:22Speaker 3: nice show? Because you were talking about chemtrails and things
- 21:26Speaker 3: like this.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Standby, standby.
- 21:28Speaker 3: We haven't had these problems before.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Standby, all right. With G2, General Jameson, probably. News Radio 570, WKVN.
- 21:38Speaker 1: All right, it's 634 News Radio 570 WKBN and Ron
- 21:41Speaker 1: Furb back to it. 76 degrees on this Wednesday evening
- 21:45Speaker 1: with G2 on the other line. I mean, if you
- 21:48Speaker 1: sit back and think about some of the stuff that's
- 21:50Speaker 1: going on, we know where the origins of COVID. We
- 21:53Speaker 1: know how we were lied to about it. We know
- 21:56Speaker 1: the cover up that took place. We know that's. No
- 21:58Speaker 1: one's been held accountable from Fauci to China or anyone.
- 22:01Speaker 1: We know that people died as a result of it
- 22:04Speaker 1: and died alone without their family members there. We know
- 22:07Speaker 1: the effects of the shot and the cover-up that has
- 22:09Speaker 1: taken place there. It's sheer evil when it comes to
- 22:13Speaker 1: those situations. And we know about the lying of the
- 22:15Speaker 1: biolabs in the Ukraine. We sit back in a corrupt country.
- 22:19Speaker 1: We say, why would we ever fund a biolab in,
- 22:21Speaker 1: of all places, China? that can't stand us. Then we
- 22:26Speaker 1: take a look at this stuff going on with ticks,
- 22:29Speaker 1: whether it's Lyme disease or whether it's this, all of
- 22:31Speaker 1: a sudden you get bit and you hate meat. And
- 22:34Speaker 1: you sit back and you look at all of this
- 22:36Speaker 1: and you think of the evil that's out in the
- 22:38Speaker 1: world that can change your life and your health so
- 22:44Speaker 1: damn quickly by just these evil things Just these evil people.
- 22:50Speaker 1: Then you talk about the data centers and the good
- 22:54Speaker 1: that comes from them, but the evil that can come
- 22:56Speaker 1: from them as far as the surveillance states, digital currencies
- 23:00Speaker 1: being able to track you and turn off your money
- 23:03Speaker 1: and know basically everything about you. That's that's that's coming
- 23:09Speaker 1: or the federal government, as I mentioned, you trying to
- 23:11Speaker 1: say we're going to circumvent local governments when it comes
- 23:14Speaker 1: to zoning and that's in that type of stuff. All
- 23:17Speaker 1: of this is so troubling when you sit back. It's
- 23:20Speaker 1: hard to imagine for a lot of people to absorb
- 23:22Speaker 1: all of this. And it is Art Bell like, but
- 23:25Speaker 1: it's but this is real. We always dismiss things. Conspiracy theory. Well, no,
- 23:31Speaker 1: it's not a conspiracy theory. We see the replacement theory
- 23:34Speaker 1: going on in not just the United States, but in
- 23:36Speaker 1: these other countries. As you said, you won't recognize Ireland.
- 23:40Speaker 1: You won't recognize these places because this global initiative of
- 23:44Speaker 1: bringing all these people into a country to basically change
- 23:48Speaker 1: the entire makeup of the country. Correct? Correct.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Absolutely. It is exactly the same people that are saying
- 23:54Speaker 3: we have to reduce our population by 6 billion people
- 23:57Speaker 3: who are building the data centers and doing all this
- 23:59Speaker 3: lab research on mosquitoes. It's the same people. And the
- 24:05Speaker 3: point you're highlighting, I think, above all, is that we
- 24:07Speaker 3: have to remember we are a world at war. And
- 24:09Speaker 3: I'm not talking about Iran, although I'd like to get
- 24:11Speaker 3: into that in more detail. I heard what you had
- 24:13Speaker 3: played earlier. I'm not talking about Iran. I'm talking about
- 24:16Speaker 3: the war for the survival of Western civilization. This is
- 24:19Speaker 3: the civilization that ended slavery. This is the civilization that
- 24:23Speaker 3: established property rights. This is the civilization that allowed free
- 24:26Speaker 3: people to be prosperous and safe and secure. It's never
- 24:30Speaker 3: happened before. And they're trying everything they can try to
- 24:33Speaker 3: tear it down. And all across Western civilization, which I
- 24:36Speaker 3: include Japan, I include Australia, obviously, on the West. I
- 24:39Speaker 3: include New Zealand, even South Korea. They're trying to tear
- 24:43Speaker 3: that down everywhere and replace it. with this evil feudalist
- 24:48Speaker 3: system where we are nothing but peasants, nothing but, they
- 24:51Speaker 3: call them eaters, that are to be handled like cattle.
- 24:56Speaker 3: And to be a cult. They want the herd cult. Remember,
- 24:58Speaker 3: Bill Gates got thrown out of India at one point
- 25:00Speaker 3: because he ran a vaccine experiment that sterilized, I want
- 25:04Speaker 3: to say 500,000 girls, but people could check it out
- 25:07Speaker 3: and make sure. I don't know what, it's been a
- 25:09Speaker 3: long time. But he ran a a test calling it
- 25:13Speaker 3: medicine and they had all these girls that were sterilized
- 25:16Speaker 3: couldn't reproduce.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Right as a side note there was a person was
- 25:22Speaker 1: expressing to me their daughter was having a difficult time
- 25:25Speaker 1: getting pregnant and guess what one of the first questions
- 25:28Speaker 1: they were asked the the fertility people ask her.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Did you get the Fauci shot?
- 25:35Speaker 1: Exactly right.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Absolutely. So this is real evil. What we're looking at
- 25:41Speaker 3: here is raw, exposed evil, darkness. And the only thing
- 25:47Speaker 3: that can stand up to it is the American people.
- 25:50Speaker 3: It's just us. And this propaganda problem, and it goes
- 25:53Speaker 3: back to that comment from the guy on CNBC about oil.
- 25:56Speaker 3: We are being bombarded with messages all the time that
- 25:59Speaker 3: are just nonsense. I've been paying close attention to what
- 26:02Speaker 3: some of the larger social media accounts are posting. It's
- 26:05Speaker 3: often just ridiculous on its face, but when you see
- 26:08Speaker 3: it from one, you see it from three or four
- 26:10Speaker 3: or five, and all of a sudden it's true. And
- 26:13Speaker 3: people aren't questioning some of that stuff, even though it
- 26:16Speaker 3: might not have any sourcing or explicit data in the post.
- 26:20Speaker 3: We're being bombarded constantly with propaganda from all sides on
- 26:25Speaker 3: all platforms. And it is a tremendous chore to try
- 26:28Speaker 3: to work through that and discern what's true and false
- 26:31Speaker 3: or what's reasonable and unreasonable and what I should be
- 26:34Speaker 3: doing and what I should be thinking. That's why I
- 26:36Speaker 3: love this show, because this is a place where we
- 26:38Speaker 3: can have these arguments. It's fabulous. But that's very rare.
- 26:42Speaker 3: And so And so I think we have to keep
- 26:45Speaker 3: in mind that this is a war. Now, we can't
- 26:47Speaker 3: get filled with despair. You know, evil wins some days,
- 26:50Speaker 3: and other days evil loses. And we've had victories and defeats,
- 26:54Speaker 3: and we're going to have more victories and defeats, but
- 26:56Speaker 3: this war is not decided. It is up to us
- 26:59Speaker 3: to decide the outcome of this war. And another thing
- 27:02Speaker 3: that's happening, of course, is we are being divided. You know,
- 27:06Speaker 3: this thing about the boomers versus the Versus the Gen X.
- 27:10Speaker 3: You and I know that's real. We've talked about it
- 27:12Speaker 3: at length on this show. They're real intergenerational stresses. All right,
- 27:16Speaker 3: what about blacks versus white and Chinese versus Indian and
- 27:19Speaker 3: all that? Listen, we're being divided. There are real and
- 27:23Speaker 3: legitimate arguments that we have among various populations. Islamists versus Christians.
- 27:28Speaker 3: The Christians are being slaughtered all over the world, right?
- 27:31Speaker 3: So that's a real fight, and we have to recognize
- 27:34Speaker 3: real fights, but we also have to recognize when we're
- 27:36Speaker 3: being divided to weaken us, especially headed into these midterms.
- 27:41Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is we've got to really plant
- 27:43Speaker 3: our feet. We have to think clearly. We have to
- 27:45Speaker 3: argue with our friends about the important issues until we
- 27:48Speaker 3: get to what makes most sense. We have to tear
- 27:50Speaker 3: these things apart and listen and think them through. And
- 27:53Speaker 3: we can't accept what comes on TV, even if it's
- 27:56Speaker 3: from Fox. So it's a tremendously challenging time to be
- 28:02Speaker 3: a citizen, but we have to step up, because if
- 28:04Speaker 3: we don't, what we leave behind for our children is
- 28:07Speaker 3: going to be a disaster.
- 28:08Speaker 1: With G2 News Radio 570, I now want to shift
- 28:12Speaker 1: to the oil situation and the war situation. And I
- 28:16Speaker 1: was recording a Rockport Financial show earlier today, which airs
- 28:21Speaker 1: Monday night at 6. Interesting conversation I had there. And
- 28:25Speaker 1: we were talking about inflation, which we were looking at
- 28:32Speaker 1: second quarter, maybe 4%, maybe 6% inflation. Significant increase in inflation. Anyway,
- 28:38Speaker 1: that'll be Monday. But Dalio, and I'm trying to think
- 28:42Speaker 1: of some of the other... Peter Schiff always is talking
- 28:47Speaker 1: about an economic meltdown, so he's one of them. But anyway,
- 28:52Speaker 1: they're talking about basically an oil shortage is going on.
- 28:58Speaker 1: I listen to these people that are in that industry.
- 29:01Speaker 1: You follow me? I mean, I don't follow the oil
- 29:03Speaker 1: supply like they do, these analysts, and saying, listen, this
- 29:08Speaker 1: is a lot worse than anybody's telling you because there's
- 29:11Speaker 1: a shortage of oil going on because how much is reduced?
- 29:14Speaker 1: and depleting these oil reserves, whether it's in China or here,
- 29:19Speaker 1: getting the price down. Basically, they're saying this whole damn
- 29:22Speaker 1: thing is a mess that he got us involved in,
- 29:26Speaker 1: and it can become a huge economic mess real quick
- 29:29Speaker 1: around July.
- 29:30Speaker 3: So there are a few things. First of all, a
- 29:34Speaker 3: lot of these financial people are talking their book, right?
- 29:36Speaker 3: So when these guys get on and talk about how
- 29:38Speaker 3: bad a certain market is, and then a few days
- 29:40Speaker 3: later they come back and say, boy, it's changed. It's
- 29:42Speaker 3: all turned around. I got new facts. Many times because
- 29:45Speaker 3: they've shortened an industry, they want to cover their short,
- 29:47Speaker 3: then they want to go long. Bill Ackman made $ 2. 4
- 29:52Speaker 3: billion in 24 hours appearing on CNBC.
- 29:55Speaker 1: But they're not all that way. Sometimes these are guys..
- 29:59Speaker 3: I'm laying the caution, right? That's right. They're not all
- 30:01Speaker 3: like that. Now, on the oil industry specifically, we have
- 30:04Speaker 3: to remember that humans solve problems. This is a problem
- 30:07Speaker 3: that's 60 days old. So what are the solutions? Well,
- 30:10Speaker 3: we're seeing increased production from Russia, from the United States,
- 30:12Speaker 3: and from others, right? I'm not saying what they're saying
- 30:15Speaker 3: is invalid. I'm saying they're mitigating factors. Audi opens a pipeline,
- 30:19Speaker 3: 7 million barrels returned to the market. UAE increases production,
- 30:23Speaker 3: opens up a pipeline. I think that pipeline was 1.5
- 30:27Speaker 3: barrels a day, 1.5 million a day. I can't remember.
- 30:29Speaker 3: But we are seeing nations that are producers, like Brazil,
- 30:34Speaker 3: we see nations that are now at these higher prices,
- 30:36Speaker 3: even if they're inefficient, they're pumping more oil. So there's
- 30:38Speaker 3: a mitigating factor. Now, you've got these big reserves, like
- 30:43Speaker 3: the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the huge reserve that
- 30:46Speaker 3: China had. But remember, China was somewhere between 100 and
- 30:49Speaker 3: 120 days, right? But it takes about 30 days to
- 30:52Speaker 3: refill the pipeline. Let's just say 30. You could argue
- 30:55Speaker 3: 40 or whatever.
- 30:56Speaker 6: Okay.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Let's say 30. That means they basically go from 120,
- 30:59Speaker 3: if you take the high end, down to 90. And
- 31:02Speaker 3: they burn through some of that because they are wholly
- 31:05Speaker 3: dependent upon imports. They only make about 4 million barrels
- 31:08Speaker 3: a day out of their own fields. So that's a
- 31:11Speaker 3: country that everybody's looking at and saying, man, look how
- 31:13Speaker 3: they're sitting pretty. The clock is ticking, and I guarantee
- 31:16Speaker 3: you they are in emergency mode up there in China. Now,
- 31:19Speaker 3: that's a good fact. Because Iran, this comment that Iran
- 31:24Speaker 3: is winning, I'm hearing it all day, every day, Iran
- 31:26Speaker 3: is winning, Iran is winning. No, they're not. They've lost
- 31:29Speaker 3: 16,000 military targets. They've got no ability to export crude now, right,
- 31:36Speaker 3: because of the blockade, unless Trump has opened that, and
- 31:38Speaker 3: I haven't seen notice that he has. So they aren't shipping.
- 31:42Speaker 3: They're losing $ 400 million to $ 500 million a day in revenue.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Their customer, China, needs pressure, right? So they're going to
- 31:50Speaker 3: China and saying, hey, what kind of support can we
- 31:53Speaker 3: get for you? Of course, China's going to play this
- 31:55Speaker 3: out for their own advantage. They're going to play the
- 31:57Speaker 3: Trump administration to try to get benefits to help out.
- 32:00Speaker 3: But in the end, Iran does not stand alone. Without China,
- 32:04Speaker 3: it's broke. I'm just saying there has not yet been
- 32:07Speaker 3: a culture created that doesn't depend on economic vitality. And
- 32:13Speaker 3: their economics are being really just hammered with this shutdown.
- 32:19Speaker 3: So it's not a one-sided fight. Our side has had
- 32:22Speaker 3: tremendous successes. Now, the timeline, what we said when it started,
- 32:26Speaker 3: our timeline involves the midterms. The Iranians know that. But
- 32:30Speaker 3: their timeline involves maintaining control. And remember, this is a
- 32:34Speaker 3: highly fractured society, 60 percent roughly Persian and the rest,
- 32:38Speaker 3: you know, 10 percent Sunni and all the others we
- 32:39Speaker 3: talked about, Azerbaijani and all this. And so they are
- 32:42Speaker 3: not a cohesive singular group. Of course they've got radical
- 32:46Speaker 3: fundamentalist Islamists. They've also got very rich people who want
- 32:49Speaker 3: to make more money. So this isn't just a situation
- 32:54Speaker 3: where they could just stand on everybody's neck and say,
- 32:56Speaker 3: we're going to drive Iran into the dirt so that
- 32:59Speaker 3: we hurt the United States the most. They may try that.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Certainly the IRGC might be willing to do that. The
- 33:05Speaker 3: most radical of the fundamentalists would. But it's just not
- 33:08Speaker 3: so simple as the kind of platitudes that are being
- 33:10Speaker 3: pointed out there now. We don't know what's really going
- 33:13Speaker 3: on behind the scenes. This is a very hard situation
- 33:16Speaker 3: to track. Of course, Trump declares victory, I don't know,
- 33:19Speaker 3: every other day. That's what Trump does. And he's negotiating constantly.
- 33:23Speaker 3: In every word he utters, every post he posts. So
- 33:27Speaker 3: I just, I can't, I do not dismiss the problems.
- 33:31Speaker 3: I also do not accept that Iran is in the
- 33:33Speaker 3: catbird seat, and somehow the West is not. Europe is
- 33:36Speaker 3: going to be under tremendous pressure. They are going to
- 33:38Speaker 3: have influence on Iran. China, influence on Iran. Russia's loving
- 33:42Speaker 3: it because they're making money on oil. And now they
- 33:45Speaker 3: can produce even more. But the pressure on Iran is
- 33:48Speaker 3: going to continue. The pressure on the United States is
- 33:51Speaker 3: going to continue to grow. We can't really predict where
- 33:54Speaker 3: it goes. And we're like eight weeks in, about, roughly,
- 33:57Speaker 3: something like that. I can't remember now. Let's say eight weeks.
- 34:01Speaker 3: All right, so we're eight weeks in. This thing is
- 34:05Speaker 3: just extremely short. Trying to bring these people to terms
- 34:09Speaker 3: on the two big issues, reopening the Strait and not
- 34:12Speaker 3: being able to close it again, and getting rid of
- 34:14Speaker 3: the nuclear program, those are very critical issues in Iran.
- 34:18Speaker 3: And they're going to hold out with those as long
- 34:20Speaker 3: as they can. They're going to continue to put proposals
- 34:22Speaker 3: across and call for hundreds of billions of dollars in payments.
- 34:27Speaker 3: In the end, we'll see where the negotiations fall out.
- 34:31Speaker 3: But at this point, we don't go into forever war.
- 34:34Speaker 3: One last point. You're hearing a lot of pressure from
- 34:38Speaker 3: Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham and the others who are
- 34:40Speaker 3: probably representing Israel's interests. You hear a lot from Israel
- 34:43Speaker 3: about how they want this regime changed. We've talked extensively
- 34:47Speaker 3: about what that requires. We looked at Japan and Germany.
- 34:50Speaker 3: We talked about the number of people we'd have to kill.
- 34:53Speaker 3: I went through that discussion with a Lebanese Christian man
- 34:56Speaker 3: a couple of days ago. He said, oh, no, no,
- 34:58Speaker 3: you're wrong. You're not going to have to kill 10%.
- 35:00Speaker 3: It's going to be 15. I said, okay, instead of
- 35:02Speaker 3: 9 million people, let's just say we kill 15 million people.
- 35:06Speaker 3: The West, the United States, whoever's involved in this, we
- 35:09Speaker 3: do not have the commitment to this war to do that.
- 35:12Speaker 3: We cannot commit ground forces. We can't. We're not up
- 35:17Speaker 3: for it. We're up for the losses. The American people
- 35:19Speaker 3: aren't behind it. If Iran starts, say, taking out water supplies,
- 35:23Speaker 3: that's a direct attempt to kill people. If they start
- 35:26Speaker 3: taking out oil supplies, people will die. What I'm saying is,
- 35:30Speaker 3: Mark Levin, who's been calling for nuclear attacks in a
- 35:33Speaker 3: very subtle sort of no-I'm-not way, if Iran reacts too
- 35:37Speaker 3: terribly badly, we will not just go in. We will
- 35:40Speaker 3: do what we did to Japan. We will nuke them
- 35:42Speaker 3: before we go in. We will absolutely obliterate That nation,
- 35:48Speaker 3: before we put boots on the ground, Trump, this is
- 35:51Speaker 3: my guess, I do not believe that Trump is going
- 35:54Speaker 3: to be coerced or induced into deploying ground forces while
- 35:59Speaker 3: that nation still has a wholly intact IRGC ground apparatus,
- 36:03Speaker 3: like their ground forces are really largely intact. We control
- 36:07Speaker 3: their air. We control their water. And yet we're told
- 36:09Speaker 3: they're winning every day. They're not winning. We haven't won.
- 36:13Speaker 3: This is a live-action fight, and we're in the middle
- 36:15Speaker 3: of it with a front-row seat. It's very hard to
- 36:18Speaker 3: take the American people through this kind of a journey.
- 36:20Speaker 3: Some say, don't panic. Yes, pay attention to oil. Yes,
- 36:23Speaker 3: we need better answers, like more coming out of Saudi
- 36:26Speaker 3: and new sources that come alive and increased production from Brazil, Petrobras.
- 36:32Speaker 3: You know, it is a horribly inefficient company. They could
- 36:35Speaker 3: be paying Exxon people to come down there and fix
- 36:37Speaker 3: their situation now.
- 36:40Speaker 5: Right?
- 36:40Speaker 3: There's a lot that can be done to increase oil supply.
- 36:43Speaker 3: And that doesn't mean that the 7 or 8 million
- 36:47Speaker 3: barrels that we're missing aren't missing. But I just don't
- 36:52Speaker 3: like these glib comments coming from these oil traders who
- 36:55Speaker 3: are using every tweet, every post, every comment to move
- 37:00Speaker 3: the market so they can make money. That's what bothers me,
- 37:05Speaker 3: is these guys go on CNBC and talk their book.
- 37:07Speaker 3: You know, oh, oil's going up. Oh, so you're long
- 37:10Speaker 3: oil and you need to sell at a premium? Okay, great.
- 37:14Speaker 3: it's more complicated than that.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I view it a little bit differently because I
- 37:17Speaker 1: think it's their expertise, depending who you listen to, I
- 37:20Speaker 1: think it's their expertise, though. I think it's what they
- 37:23Speaker 1: follow on a regular basis. I mean, I would be
- 37:27Speaker 1: fooling you if I'm not sitting here out of concern saying,
- 37:30Speaker 1: I don't think it's going very well. You keep hearing about,
- 37:33Speaker 1: they're going to make a deal, they're going to make
- 37:34Speaker 1: a deal. Well, they're not making a deal. And they
- 37:37Speaker 1: could sit there and ride out another bombing campaign and perhaps...
- 37:42Speaker 1: They don't really care about some of the things that
- 37:44Speaker 1: you mentioned, and they'll just ride it out. And at
- 37:47Speaker 1: the same time, we here will suffer higher gas prices,
- 37:50Speaker 1: higher oil prices, higher inflation. And I don't think our
- 37:55Speaker 1: economy can tolerate that either. I just don't think people,
- 37:59Speaker 1: I don't think America's going to say, by God, I'm
- 38:01Speaker 1: glad we got into this. And this might have been
- 38:05Speaker 1: a mistake from the very beginning. And there might be
- 38:08Speaker 1: an answer to say, we've got to figure out how
- 38:11Speaker 1: to get out of this before we sink our economy here.
- 38:15Speaker 1: And everybody pays a dear price for it. And it
- 38:18Speaker 1: appears more going in that direction than not going in
- 38:21Speaker 1: that direction.
- 38:23Speaker 3: I don't think it's going more that way. I mean,
- 38:25Speaker 3: I think this is just going. I wish it wasn't happening.
- 38:27Speaker 3: I wish we hadn't started this. I wish Israel hadn't
- 38:30Speaker 3: started this, but they did, and we followed them. So
- 38:33Speaker 3: it is what it is. Remember, we have other options, right? Like,
- 38:37Speaker 3: we also have quite a formidable military capability. And the
- 38:43Speaker 3: tremendous pressure around the world to get this solved isn't
- 38:46Speaker 3: just focused on the United States. So Iran's going to
- 38:49Speaker 3: hold out as long as they can. We're going to
- 38:51Speaker 3: continue negotiating. Trump's going to keep declaring victory every other
- 38:55Speaker 3: day or so. And the traders are going to keep
- 38:57Speaker 3: manipulating the oil markets to make more money. Oil prices
- 39:00Speaker 3: will go up if this continues, no question, because China's
- 39:03Speaker 3: going to have to pay huge premiums in order to
- 39:06Speaker 3: get oil redirected to them away from Europe. They're going
- 39:10Speaker 3: to have to pay a huge number for that. Now,
- 39:11Speaker 3: at some point, the economics don't work for China. So
- 39:15Speaker 3: I understand your point. I think you're being very reasonable.
- 39:18Speaker 3: I just think that the leverage isn't all on one side.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Stand by. Back to wrap it up after this. 570 WKBN.
- 39:25Speaker 1: I just... I'm not optimistic. Let me put it that way.
- 39:33Speaker 1: I mean, I keep hearing a deal's near, a deal's near.
- 39:35Speaker 1: The deal doesn't materialize. And I'm just not optimistic as
- 39:40Speaker 1: this continues to go on with no end in sight
- 39:45Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned. And I'm definitely concerned about inflation,
- 39:50Speaker 1: increasing interest rates, energy costs, and how much the public
- 39:56Speaker 1: is going to put up with it. And I don't
- 39:57Speaker 1: think it's much longer.
- 40:00Speaker 3: Well, I understand your points.
- 40:01Speaker 1: They're valid.
- 40:02Speaker 3: I don't know what's happening. We don't know. But I'm
- 40:05Speaker 3: just saying let's not surrender until the battle's lost. And
- 40:10Speaker 3: we'll see where it goes.
- 40:14Speaker 1: I don't know if you'd call it surrendering or not.
- 40:16Speaker 1: It's just I don't know if there's a good answer
- 40:22Speaker 1: to this. As you said, it's probably a mistake from
- 40:24Speaker 1: the very beginning.
- 40:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. And the things I'm hearing online
- 40:29Speaker 3: are pretty much surrender. I mean, the rhetoric is just terrible.
- 40:34Speaker 1: You mean the United States?
- 40:36Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, the globalists and the social media comments
- 40:42Speaker 3: who are collecting checks. What they're putting out is just garbage.
- 40:47Speaker 1: But I don't sense it's going well either. You know
- 40:50Speaker 1: what I'm saying? I mean, I don't... I sense Quagmire
- 40:54Speaker 1: is what Richard Pharmacist uses, and I think that's a
- 40:57Speaker 1: fair assessment at this point.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Well, 16,000 targets destroyed, very limited losses, and..
- 41:08Speaker 1: But no surrender. No agreement.
- 41:13Speaker 3: It takes time. You're right. I mean, I would expect
- 41:16Speaker 3: one now anyway.
- 41:18Speaker 1: Well, how much more time do you give it? Four months?
- 41:22Speaker 1: Three months? How much more as you get closer to
- 41:25Speaker 1: the midterms and everything else?
- 41:28Speaker 3: I don't think we can say. I mean, we don't
- 41:30Speaker 3: know what those pressure points are in, like, for example, China,
- 41:35Speaker 3: where they're looking for help. We don't know what the
- 41:37Speaker 3: pressure points are. We don't know how much pressure the
- 41:40Speaker 3: Chinese are feeling yet. This is one that takes a
- 41:44Speaker 3: lot of daily monitoring.
- 41:47Speaker 1: We shall see. There he is, the one, the only, G2.
- 41:50Speaker 1: Thank you, G2. Appreciate it.
- 41:53Speaker 3: You're welcome, Ron.
- 41:53Speaker 1: All right, G2 from the bunker, deep below the Earth's

- 42:07Speaker 1: a Guardians game this afternoon, and the winners, I'm happy
- 42:10Speaker 1: to say, they were victorious today, the Guardians. And we
- 42:14Speaker 1: make way next, so that means Sean Hannity's on next.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Joe Peggs attend Coast to Coast Overnights on a beautiful Wednesday,

- 42:26Speaker 1: to talking to you tomorrow. On News Radio 570, WKBN, Youngstown, Ohio.
- 42:38Speaker 4: From ABC News, I'm Dave Packer. President Trump meeting with
- 42:42Speaker 4: his cabinet today, making it clear he feels no urgency
- 42:45Speaker 4: to end the war with Iran, saying Iran wants very
- 42:48Speaker 4: much to make a deal, but he's not satisfied with
- 42:50Speaker 4: what the Iranians are offering.
- 42:51Speaker 5: The primary urgency is that we can't let Iran have
- 42:55Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon. But at the same time, we have
- 42:58Speaker 5: a tremendous amount of oil, gas, coal. We have tremendous
- 43:03Speaker 5: amounts of energy. We're blessed with something very special.
- 43:05Speaker 4: The recovery for victims and the deadly factory accident in
- 43:08Speaker 4: Washington state continues. Nine people remain unaccounted for after a
- 43:12Speaker 4: massive chemical tank holding a highly corrosive liquid imploded and
- 43:15Speaker 4: collapsed Tuesday. Washington State Governor Bob Ferguson.
- 43:18Speaker 2: We're bracing ourselves for this being the deadliest industrial tragedy
- 43:23Speaker 2: in modern Washington State history.
- 43:25Speaker 4: Two people are confirmed dead. The former personal assistant to
- 43:28Speaker 4: friend star Matthew Perry is the fifth and final defendant
- 43:31Speaker 4: involved in Perry's 2023 death. To learn his prison sentence.
- 43:35Speaker 7: Outside of court, an attorney for Kenneth Iwamasa said Iwamasa
- 43:38Speaker 7: regrets not telling Matthew Perry no when Perry told him
- 43:42Speaker 7: to repeatedly inject him with ketamine, including the fatal dose
- 43:45Speaker 7: the day Perry died in 2023.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Kenny will regret.
- 43:50Speaker 8: The lack of action for the rest of his life.
- 43:52Speaker 7: While prosecutors say Iwamasa was an enabler and a drug supplier,
- 43:55Speaker 7: his attorney said Iwamasa could not say no to his boss,
- 43:59Speaker 7: the federal judge giving Iwamasa three years and five months
- 44:02Speaker 7: in federal prison for his role in Perry's death.

- 45:41Speaker 4: investigation will be conducted following a violent arrest in Fairfield.
- 45:45Speaker 6: Police say the arrest came during an on-campus fight at
- 45:47Speaker 6: the high school. They say officers used so-called distraction strikes
- 45:52Speaker 6: to get the teen, identified as Maurice Williams, to put
- 45:55Speaker 6: his hands behind his back so he could be handcuffed
- 45:57Speaker 6: while acting aggressively. Students now staging walkouts and demonstrations, protesting
