  Speaker 2: All right. 507 News Radio 570. With you until 7 tonight.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Guardians play a little bit after 8 o'clock tonight. 85 degrees.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Beautiful looking Friday afternoon. News Radio 570. You're on the air. Hello? Hello?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Is it me on the air?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I think it is. Oh, okay.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, sir.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pull over here. I'm just Well, you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: know what?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I had a question to ask you. I thought, what
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: are my odds? I'm retired, and I'm going to go
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: on a... I always wanted to go... I drove trucks
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: for a few stints, then I became a mechanic. I
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: always wanted to see Yellowstone. And I bought a 99
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: GMC van out of Florida.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And it's in extremely good shape. It's got the original
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: brake lines and.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Anyway, the odds of me making it out there at
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: a reasonable.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Price on gas, you know?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm curious.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Would you do it still?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: How old.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Are you?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm 73. I think if you want to see Yellowstone,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you should go do it because you're 73 years old.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So if that's what you want to do, That's what
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you should do. Listen, I don't know. how your retirement looks,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: what you have financially, or what you get through Social Security,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: or any of that. I'm not wealthy.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I get a couple, like $ 2, 300 a month. I work
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: my whole life. I have a 401, but it's.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of money.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I have a service dog. Yeah, I'm lucky to still
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: be up and in good shape because I'm TD1. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I've had a doctor tell me, you know, she said,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: You know, your health. I mean, you still got your kidneys.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: You have a service dog that keeps you out of trouble.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: What year van did you buy?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: A 99 GMC. All right.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But I want you to think about this, though. The
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: van that you bought is 26, 7 years old, right?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, just here's what I would say to you.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: By yourself, go look at a newer vehicle or a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: newer van. You're 73 or 74 years old. I don't
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: know how much life you have left, okay? I mean,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: death is inevitable, and who knows what tomorrow will bring.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: They say God laughs at people that make plans. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: would like to see you go buy a much newer
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: van than a 26- or 70-year-old van that you want
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to drive from here out to see Yellowstone Park. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: would like to see you buy a better van with
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: lower miles that's more dependable, if not a new one.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: If not a new one. And then I would say,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I don't care what gas costs, but put it in
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a tank, go drive out and see it before you die.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: All right? If that's what you want to do and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: take your dog with you. And I don't know if
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you're going to sleep in that van or how you're
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: going to do that, but that would be my... Yeah, I've.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Got a 2020 Lexus, but it really cramps me, you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a 2020 Lexus.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Well, if you've got a Lexus, that's a hell of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a car. I think I would drive the Lexus out
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to Yellowstone before I would ever drive the van, just
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: for dependability reasons. There's nothing worse than breaking down..
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is one of my fears. But I'm an ex-mechanic,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and it's the 570.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Right back.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's got 140,000. I just went through.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: My buddy just went through the transformation.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: If you feel comfortable with it and you're a mechanic,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the problem is when you break down, you don't have
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: parts sitting there on the side of the road and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you don't have a lift either. I mean, if you're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: comfortable with the fuel pump and you're comfortable with all
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the mechanicals of the vehicle, it's a 26, 27-year-old vehicle.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: That's an old..
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: You know, it's still got the original brake lights on.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: How many of them are..
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Right, but... Listen, what do you say your Lexus is?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: What year is that? 2020. Okay, so that's six years old.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: How many miles are on that?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: There's 80,000 on it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, drive the Lexus. I mean, are you married?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: No. No.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: So you want to go.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I have somebody.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, here's another.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I spent.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Here's another idea. Get on an airplane and fly out there.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Rent a hotel and rent a car when you get there.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Put your dog in a kennel until you get back.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And let's put a kennel in your dog. There's plenty
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of nice places where you can put your dog and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you can go out and you can get there pretty
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: quick and you can enjoy yourself without having to worry
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: about driving all that way, falling asleep at the wheel
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: or breaking down and just go see it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, see, I want to, the thing is
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the travel out there, that the scenery going out there.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And I was going to come back. I was going
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: to come back through Canada. And now I'm in good shape.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I just put a transmission in this van.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I know, but I mean, listen.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not an old man.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Right, you can do what you want to do, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you're 74 years old. I don't know if you've got
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: another 10 years to live or 10 days, and you
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: don't know either. I tell you again, God laughs at
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: people that make plans because you never know when your
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: number's up. So all I'm saying to you is I
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: want you to see you want to go to Yellowstone
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and see the see the park and all that kind
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Well, sometimes getting on a plane and flying
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: there is just a lot more convenient and you get
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: there quicker. Rent a car. You can stay there longer
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and and take it all in and and then fly
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: back home and reconnect with your dog. That's what I
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: would do if I was you. I mean, don't hesitate.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Well, that's your honest opinion. I'm not going to leave my–
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: she's a service animal, so I'm.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Not going to leave her.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, when you're out there, she'll be fine.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: She'll have dog company. I mean, you'll be fine with
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: kenneling her. Enjoy your life. Don't say, oh, I can't
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: go because of my dog.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: No, I could take her. If I take the van,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I could take her.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Right, but I mean now.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Actually, I'm certified by my doctor to take her. She
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: has all her medical shots. She has all.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but a lot of hotels don't want to cats
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: or dogs in them for places to stay and.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a certified service animal.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm medically.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Well, you do what you want to do. Any way
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you do it, better get moving and start doing it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Stop thinking about it and start doing it. Don't worry
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: about the gas prices at your age. Worry about the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: time you have left.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Well, that's good advice. I got some good advice. That's good.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I'm probably going to do it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't be a probably. Let me put it this way.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You can save the money and not do it. And
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: then when you're sitting in a nursing home, it's whatever,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: $ 10, 000 a month. You're going to wish you would have
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: spent the money and done it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking, too.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And who knows?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: My buddy, he's retired, too.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: He had Ernie's transmission. And he told me, you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: he said he don't see anything with a problem with
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: 4,000 miles.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Then if you want to do it, do it. I mean,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you know, if you break down, you got a cell phone,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: call a tow truck and figure out what you're going
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: to do then when you're broke down on that freeway
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: at 3 in the morning. I'm just teasing in a
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: bad neighborhood. I know. Whatever it is, don't overthink it,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: all right? If you want to do it, do it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I think I have overthought it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I think you probably have, too. I would feel more
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: comfortable if you would just make it a quick– you
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: could go out and see it and fly out and
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: come back. and you'd be gone a week or two,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: however long you want to go. You don't have a
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: time clock to punch anymore. So you can go out
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: there for, what, a week and then come back and
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: see your dog. Maybe your dog will have a better
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: time in the kennel and being around other dogs. You
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: never know. You're a little jealous.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, but she's become– She's had a rough life,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and I got her off of a trainer.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm good for you. You've got to love somebody
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that takes good care of animals and loves their animals.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: She's fantastic as far as..
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Who knows maybe when you're out there you'll meet a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: young woman and did you ever get married.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah I've been married yeah how many times one.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Time once really how long did that one last.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: About 20 years.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Really? Now, how did it fall apart after 20 years?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: They died.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. She passed away.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she passed.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Did you ever think about remarrying after she passed away,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: or was that the love of your life?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: No, I thought about it, but at my age, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: don't want to redo it again.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, you can, right. So that's a fair decision.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there's some people that decide to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: remarry and have companionship and other people decide that one
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: was enough and maybe you found the love of your life.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: So that's a good thing. And I think she would
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: probably want you to enjoy the rest of your life
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: till you meet your maker.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I was just wondering.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: If the gas went to $ 7 an hour, I'd have
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: a Gobi fund to get back.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Don't you worry. I have the money. You've got the money.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I have the money to buy the gas.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Go do it, all right? All right, thank you. You're
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: on the air.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: You mentioned Vietnam. I can't believe it. I'm not an
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: armchair general, but I was a corporal in the United
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: States Marine Corps in the Vietnam era. And right now,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: I'm going to give you the Iran solution. The Iran
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: war is a brave and bold necessary action. Think back
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: 90 years ago to the 30s. If FDR, England, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: Europe had made war against Hitler when he broke treaties,
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: 80 million lives might have been saved. A nuclear Iran
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: could kill about a billion people easily. What we need
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: is MAGA and MILC to get it done. I'm going
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: to give you three actions. Number one, MILC, make Iran
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: like Cuba. Unload every Iranian vessel, sell the contents to
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: pay for this war effort, and move the empty vessels
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: to a neutral port for long-term storage. Then destroy every
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: vessel on the 1,500-mile Iranian shoreline. Iran will be like
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Cuba with no boats. No vessels will be permitted to
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: enter or exit Iran. Number two, escort friendly ships through the.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Strait of Iran.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: This is the most important thing. Don't accept a statement
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: that this cannot be done. With a $ 900 billion defense
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: budget and 2.8 million personnel plus contractors and friendly nations,
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: find an operational leader who can make it happen. Number three,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: continue the destruction in Iran, starting from the shoreline and
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: moving inward. War Department personnel can get ongoing live ammo training,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: including drone use, instead of practicing in U.S.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Bases.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: Keep this up until the strait is safe, the nuclear
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: dust is removed, and there are no terrorist actions from
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: Iran or or any of their proxies anywhere in the world.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Forget about any ceasefires. This regime will never cave.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Deal?
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: We don't need no stinking deal or badges. Now, when
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: they've had enough, it might happen. The only thing that
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: counts for the world economy is that the strait is open.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: There should be no reparations. They can use oil money.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: to rebuild instead of supporting international terrorism. Who's the smartest
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: player in this tragedy? Smarts don't have anything to do
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: with it. The regime in Iran has no concern for
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: its people, and they want to kill everyone else in
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: the world who is not Shia. They will take any
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: destruction as long as they stay in power. If the
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: strait isn't opened before the elections, The Dems will impeach 47,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: and Iran's problem is solved. Our problems become much more deadly.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: My message to DJT and Secretary Hegseth, focus the way
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: General George S.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Patton would.
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: Our futures are at stake.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks. You're on the air.
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: I know you only want me to call once a day.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Then why are you calling again?
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: When I had a call back. That guy that you
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: just talked to, did he say he was a corporal
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: in the United States Marine Corps?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Something along those lines.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: A corporal in an SNG-4 in the United States Marine Corps.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: If that's what he said, stand by. Now take more calls.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Coming up, we're here until 7, 330-729-9977.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: 570-WKBN.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Listen, here, I'll say this to you with the last guy.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Here's the reality of all this stuff. You've got to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: start by acknowledging none of us know what Rubio and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: these people know. None of us have the information that
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: they have. So none of us know that. So we
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: can sit here as armchair quarterbacks trying to act like
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: we know everything and what should happen, and who knows
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: what the right answer is. So it's not that we
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have an opinion because we should, and it's not
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that we shouldn't take a look at what is happening
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and what the effects of it are and what we've
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: learned from history. So what I'm saying to everyone involved,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the reality is we're there, and now you have to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: figure out the game plan of getting out of there.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: And you have to say, okay, What's the exit strategy?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Are you going to be there six months from now,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: a year from now? What is the exit strategy to
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: get out of there? What is a victory? I mean,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: there's so much unknown to the American people that it
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: just reminds me too much of other situations that In
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the Middle East, I don't necessarily buy all the crap
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that the neocons spew to try to get you ginned
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: up to go into these particular situations. So I'm not
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: always a believer in everything that they're saying because I
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: think the government lies to you. They have an agenda
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: in many cases. So I'm wasting my time when I
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: say I think this was a mistake from the very
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: beginning because I do. And I think Israel influenced us
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to do it. And I think it was a mistake.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: And I think Trump thought that this would be over
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: much quicker than it is. And I think everybody involved
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: is surprised that it isn't. Well, we sunk their Navy.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Their Air Force isn't any good. We bombed the hell
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: out of them. And there's no agreement. And then it's like,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: now what do we do? Now we have another ceasefire
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and another ceasefire, and they're trying to figure out, now
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: what do we do? Now if we go back and
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: bomb them some more, does that mean that they'll surrender
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: and sign a peace agreement then? Or will they say, well, no,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: we're not going to do it then. Then what do
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: you do? I mean, what's the strategy here? What's the
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: exit strategy? What's the game plan? How long are you
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: going to be there?
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I mean..
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I can understand why Congress is saying at what point
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: do you can't just do this forever as a president.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: At some point, we do have a check and balance
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: system and you do have to address Congress with it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And there does have to be a debate over this.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: That is how our system does work, whether we like
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: it or not. Would you not agree? That's how it works.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: It isn't up to him alone or any president to
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: determine this is what we're going to do and I'm
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: not going to have any debate over it by Republicans
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: and Democrats in Congress. That's not how this system works.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Do you agree?
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: One thousand percent.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: One thousand percent. I mean, the longer this goes on,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I just, I'm looking, thinking, okay, was this..
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: There is no human being on this earth that can
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: run a country, and his word is the last word.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not certainly how the United States works. That's
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: not how we work. That is not.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: How we worked for 250 years.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Right. I mean, at some point.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: And that is not. That is why the people of
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: this country are very upset.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I think. News Radio 570 WKVN.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: And you're on the air.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: Hello.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: JJ, the liberal.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Are you today, my friend?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I am well. Thank you for asking.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Oh no problem uh yeah again i just uh i'm
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: glad you're asking you know questions and i i just
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: uh i i don't like the idea of we i'm
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: talking while i'm i'm talking about people trying to wanting
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: us to blow them all up i don't know because
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: like you said we don't we don't know we don't
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: know uh They're not like us. They don't think like us. And,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: you know, for us to..
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: All.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Well, you're really out of breath, man.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm just moving around. I had to let
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: the dog out and, you know, just family stuff, you know?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: And then I was... I just wanted to let my
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: wife in the door there, but... I just don't think
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: it's a... I don't like the idea of just wanting
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: to just say, let's just wipe them out. And, you know, it...
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: You know, and in the same sense, they say that
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: they're worried about, they're worried about us here, that they've
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: never really threatened us. You know, it's all, like I said,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: it's all just boisterous talk, but they've not, they've not
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: done anything. They haven't bombed us. They haven't come after
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: any of our, our military people, at least not recently.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: And so it didn't, it just didn't warrant this. And,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: you know, he said that one guy, I can't remember
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: part of the conversation, he said, you know, that, that
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: bunker buster said, took care of all this, then why
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: are we still there? And, you know, I just have...
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: We're just going to keep going around and around and around,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: you know, and I just don't think... I think it
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: was just, you know, he said, it's a bad mistake.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: I want him to succeed, whether everybody doesn't think I
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: want to, because if he succeeds, then I succeed, and
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: my family succeeds, and then you succeed, everybody succeeds. I'm
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: not that shallow, you know, and I just... I don't know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Maybe I don't even know why I really called, but
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: you're just..
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Listen, I understand why you called. It's why I say, listen,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: everybody's entitled to an opinion, and we all have one,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and we should, because it involves our country, and it's
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: going to involve... We pay a price, whether that's economically
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: or as far as our sons and daughters are concerned.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: We definitely pay a price, so we should have an opinion.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: As I say, you've got to acknowledge... that obviously the
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: people are making the decisions know a lot more than
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: we do. Do I listen? You have generals that disagree
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: on this, that have a much broader base know-how than
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: any of us have, that are totally disagreeing on this,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that understand the logistics of how far it is from
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the United States and have a better understanding of a
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: military operation because they're generals, and they don't even agree.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: They view it differently. They view it differently. So, I mean,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: all I can say is give you my opinion, and
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: my opinion remains. I think he got into this because
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: of Israel. I think they thought they could be out
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: of this much sooner than they are. And I think
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: they're a little bit shocked that they're not out, that
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: it's taken the direction it's taken. And the straight is
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: in a situation that it's in, which is having– difficult
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: issues on the world as far as fertilizer and products
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: that are needed that go beyond oil, other products that
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: are needed. So you will have other countries that will
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: very much suffer a food crisis or starvation that other
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: countries will have that. You'll have other countries that will
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: have major energy problems as far as their citizens are concerned.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: And it's a long time, because like you said, I
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: don't remember the guy's name. I'm sorry to interrupt you, sir.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: The guy you said that you were, said it's not
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: going to go down. What's his name again?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Well, even Art Berman said, he's an oil analyst, even
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: he said, listen, this is unprecedented. It's hard to say
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: exactly what's going to happen, because it's uncharted waters. No
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: one knows for certain. We can only speculate. And I
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: don't know enough. I learned more about oil than I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: ever thought I would know. When you hear oil, you
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: think all oil is the same. Well, it's not. I've
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: learned that the oil we have in our country is
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: not the oil that we can refine and make diesel
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: fuel out of, that it's light crude. And I learned
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: about heavy crude. And just by reading this, as I say,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: you think oil is oil? Well, it's not.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: You..
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: So it's like alcohol saying alcohol is alcohol.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: There's beer and there's a little bit information on that.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: And that's that's true is that you if you don't
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: know that you can know 90 percent of the situation,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: but that 10 percent you're missing is is that whole thing.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Don't you find it out by reading the experts? I mean,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: don't you have to basically read the people who there,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of knowledgeable people that you can
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: read what their views are that deal in this stuff
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: all the time. I don't know about the refineries. I
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: don't know about the different types of oil. And I,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I know I've learned heavy crude comes from Russia. It
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: comes from Canada and it comes from the Middle East. Yeah.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: And you need that to make diesel and you need
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: that to make jet fuel and And you need that
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: for shipping. And then I know that we have light crude,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: and you can use that to make gasoline. And most
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: of the refineries are set up for heavy crude and
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: not light crude. So this is stuff that I've learned.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I've learned that when you shut these wells off, as
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: they're doing, you can't turn them back on like a
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: light switch. That when you turn them on, it takes time.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: considerable amount of time for them to get active again
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: and sometimes when you turn them back on they don't
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: get active again it's one of the risks you take
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: in shutting an oil well down I didn't know that
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: so I learned it I learned it from these experts
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: on it so they also tell me that you have
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: an oil shortage it's going on because you've got all
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: this oil it's been taken out of the pipeline and
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: And you've got people depleting their strategic oil reserves. China
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and the United States put 17 million barrels out there
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: to try to keep prices down so that you actually
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: have somewhat of an oil shortage. I don't know any
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of this. These guys that follow this stuff know all
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: of this stuff. So they're the ones saying it's not
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: a good picture as you get further into July without
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: an agreement or August. It just gets worse.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: I just want to leave you with this, because I
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: know you've got other people on the line waiting. But
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: one thing that it gets me is that I wish
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: you would just quit saying you're going to have a
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: 60-day or a 30-day or a 20-day or 40 hours
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: or whatever it might be, just because it really doesn't
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: mean anything anymore. Because when we go, the stocks, everything
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: goes based on what President Trump says sometimes. So, you know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I wish you would just kind of pull that back
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: a little bit, restrain from being so informative at times,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: you know, and because then we're hoping and praying based
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: on what he tells us, whether things are going to
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: turn around for us. So, but I just wanted to
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: call him and hear your voice and say hi to you.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you again, I'm proud of everything you're doing
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: for us.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Are you going, well, maybe you'll be at that flea
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: market tomorrow. If you do, go see the boss lady.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: In fact, I'm finishing up. One of my other paintings
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: right now, and I'm going to be out there. And
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: if you want to stop by, I'd like to have
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: something for you.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Well, go see the boss lady. She's going to be there.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: I promise I will do that. I promise I will
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I expect a picture. Thank you. All right. It's interesting
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: just when you look at this whole situation. I mean,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I spend way too much time just trying to get
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: the input of people that are experts in these fields.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: And then you look at the experts, like I say,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: you got generals who disagree on how this situation is going,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and they know a lot more about it than any
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: of us. You know, when I've started listening to these generals,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: and then I started hearing, well, you know, you got
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: to look at the logistics, how far is it to
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: get It gets supplies to that area. It's like 6,000 miles.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: The logistics makes a big difference. I started listening to
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: some of these generals. Well, when people are fighting for
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: their homeland, that's a lot different than if you're the outside.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Look at in Vietnam when we were doing all this
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: bombing and had all this sophisticated equipment. Well, those people,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: that was where they lived, and they ended up being
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: successful at the outcome of it. So when you listen
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: to these generals and they start saying you really can't
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: win a war by simply bombing from the air, it's
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: just this idea that you can win that way is ridiculous. And, okay,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: so I listened to them generals tell me that, well,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: you can't, you're not going to win that way. It's
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: just not going to work. So, okay, so... then I
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: got to agree with Trump, the Trump administration. I don't
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: think Iran's in a good position at all. I mean,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I think they're devastated, economically speaking. I mean, I think
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: they are, and 100%, their economy's got to suck big time,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: and they're devastated. But are they willing to, are they,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: from a culture, willing to wait it out and say,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: we're not giving in to this at all? We'll wait
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: this out. We can wait it out longer than you can,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: and we'll cause economic harm to the United States with
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: inflation and oil prices, too. You know, for every action,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: there's a reaction. where Iran can say, well, you do that.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Early on, Iran says, you do that to us. Here's
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: what we're going to do. We're going to take out
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: some of the oil capacities in some of these places,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: and oil prices will soar even more. I mean, I
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: don't know that anything in a military war operation is predictable. So,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, it seems to me like Trump wants to
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: try to put an end to this and reach some
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: type of an agreement with And it seems to me
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the other day he was pissed at Netanyahu because he
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: kept dealing with Lebanon and doing things that were not
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: making it easy to reach an agreement. Is that theatrics?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Is that reality? Who knows? But what's
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: the game plan? So if you fired back up and
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: go bomb some more explain to all of us how
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: that's going to work this time if it didn't work
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: last time I mean so I don't know that anybody
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: really knows I think the whole thing is uncharted water
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: you're on air.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: Sorry we got disconnected am I allowed to speak.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Real quickly because it's one call per program.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Okay I know, I know, I know. The guy that
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: called in from the Marine Corps?
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: He said he was an E-4 corporal.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: Are you familiar with an E-4 corporal?
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I don't remember if that's what he said he was,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: but anyway.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure that's what he said he was. An
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: E-4 corporal is usually in charge of a squad. Now,
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: that squad is about 12 or 13 men in the
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Marine Corps. Now, his insight that he had as a corporal,
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: was very insightful. It was very good. If you were
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: listening to him, now he is an E4. Again, look
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: it up. You'll understand what I'm talking about. And the
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: reason I'm saying this is because, again, I'm not trying to...
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: You tell that corporal that you are talking to a
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: grunt corpsman that ended up with the Marine Corps. And
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: that's how I know about this kind of stuff. His
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: insightfulness after all.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: These years.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: Is very, very good. And you should pay close attention
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: to what he was saying. Now, he was very far
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: down the chain of command as far as making any
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: kind of decisions about It's what, you know, what the president,
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: vice president, it's not even close. But what I'm trying
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: to say is the average guy out there has a
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: lot of answers for this country. And they're not paying
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: attention to him. They're not paying attention.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I got to move along. Thank you. You're on the air.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon, Ron.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I'm well. Go ahead, please.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid this war is going to be another Vietnam.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: And I think if it goes past Labor Day, there
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: will be a blue wave in November.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I hope not, but I think you might be correct.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid. One thing that's interesting, we're celebrating our 250th
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: birthday this year. And 100 years ago, we had a
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: song called Over There. And the last line of the
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: Over There says, we won't come back until it's over
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: over there. Well, lately, all of our wars, they're never
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: over over there. So I don't know. Of course, President
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Eisenhower warned us against the military-industrial complex. And that's what
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: we're dealing with now. Because war is good for business.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: You know that. Yep.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: And the Trump family is making money off this war
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: because they're selling drones to all the countries that are
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: around them and that the Iranians are bombing. So the
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Trumps are making money off this deal. And that's not right.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: I pray every night that this war comes to an end,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: but I'm afraid it's not going to come to an end.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: And I don't want to send our boots on the ground,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: because that would be stupid, too. And we can't nuke them,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: because if we start throwing around nukes, everybody will throw them,
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: and then the world will be over. And we don't
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: want that.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: All right. Thank you.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: Have a great day, Ron.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you. You're on the air.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: Fifth Avenue called in three times. He needs sanctions to
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: the highest degree, Ron.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Unacceptable. Okay.
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: Some risk assessment here. I think I caught you and
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: Jake earlier today. Were you talking about what happens when
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: you meet your untimely demise at 103 years old?
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I was looking at what happened to Bitcoin today. Oh, yeah.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: You took a little bit of a hit there, huh?
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: I think you might be confusing volatility and risk there.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. I just wanted you to know I was concerned
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: about you. That's all that I was looking.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: I'm glad.
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: You should just only be concerned if I have enough
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: to buy the dip.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, I know you got that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 10: You and Jake might have been talking about what's going
• 35:52
  Speaker 10: to happen once you pass away at the age of 103.
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: So I already have the answer, and I would ask
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: if I could have the rights to have your cloned
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: voice for an AI agent to use. You could just
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: continue on indefinitely. You could be like Casey Kasem.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: He's still doing.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: The top 20 or whatever.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: How long has our bell been dead, and we run
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: them every Saturday?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I mean.
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: But if you can have brand-new shows all the time,
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: you just get all your euphemisms, everything, the AI knows
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: what you like, you upload all.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: The podcasts, it'd be fine.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And I think..
• 36:29
  Speaker 10: Right now would be a good time to just let
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: me have the rights to that.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll give it some consideration. I'm more interested.
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: Are you going to let me do that? Because if so,
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: I just made a deal with Iran.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: No, I'm interested in what you have to say about
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Iran as you go through all of this. I am
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: genuinely interested. Don't go anywhere. Let me do my break
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: because everyone says he's a smart guy because he is.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I want to get his take. All righty, so what
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: do you think? Give me your assessment.
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: Well, our messaging on everything with Iran is about as
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: consistent as diarrhea. I have no idea what's going on there.
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: Nobody does, and anybody who opines on it is only speculating.
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: I just wish I'd hear more about what happened in Venezuela.
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: You don't hear anything about that anymore. We have a deal.
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: We don't have a deal with Ron. It's the same
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: story every day, just a different narrative. And it stinks.
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: I mean, if you look at the market today, it
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: absolutely tanked. I'm sure Frank had already gotten out of
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: everything yesterday, right before the drawback today. But everything's a mess.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Interest rates are up.
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: Gas prices are up. Your blood pressure's up. I don't know.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: So what do you make of this situation? It's, I mean,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: it's just, I think Richard Farmacist had the best line.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: It's a quagmire. He said Trump's put himself in a quagmire.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Do you agree with that? Because I do.
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: I think so. Look, we're not even negotiating with them.
• 38:06
  Speaker 10: We're negotiating with an intermediary, which is Pakistan. We've had
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: talks with whoever was in charge at that time before
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: they got blown up in Islamabad, which is the same
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: city that was harboring Osama bin Laden. Why are we
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: even dealing with them? I don't understand. It's a huge mess.
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: The president of Iran, he just resigned the other day,
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: so he's not even in charge because he says the
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: military is under control. Yeah, you could bomb them until oblivion,
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: but then it's just the next man up, as we've
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: seen after killing the, what, 55 top officials. Number 56
• 38:41
  Speaker 10: is now in charge, apparently, and they're all the same.
• 38:44
  Speaker 10: So unless you change something in any other sort of way,
• 38:47
  Speaker 10: nothing's really going to be changing anytime soon.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: So I agree.
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: If something doesn't happen by the midterms, but who knows?
• 38:53
  Speaker 10: A lot can happen between now and then. I hope
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: it ends quickly and everything goes back to normal. But
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: I don't know what normal is going to be after
• 39:00
  Speaker 10: everything's over.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: That is, you know, kudos to you. That's extremely well said.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate your time, Alec. You know that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Have a good weekend. All right.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, now that was concise to the point and
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: just simply well said.
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: And..
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, he really made a great statement. Everybody's an
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: armchair general. All I do is listen to these different
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: generals and these oil brokers and try to absorb their knowledge.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: to render an opinion based on what all of them
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: have to say because they know a lot more than
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: the rest of us. Back with more in a minute.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: News Radio 570 WQEN taking your calls till 7 tonight.

• 40:09
  Speaker 12: that he will be serving in this capacity for a
• 40:11
  Speaker 12: period of time, but that he is already talking to
• 40:14
  Speaker 12: people to fill that role permanently. The president says he
• 40:17
  Speaker 12: has five interviews set up with people to potentially be
• 40:21
  Speaker 12: the next director of national intelligence he didn't get specific
• 40:25
  Speaker 12: on who he is talking to but he said they're
• 40:27
  Speaker 12: all very good people you know very well and people
• 40:31

• 40:56
  Speaker 11: Analysts have been expecting about 80,000 jobs to have been
• 40:59

• 41:03
  Speaker 11: a solid 172,000, showing resilience despite rising costs from the war.
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: Revised numbers for March and April also show even more
• 41:11
  Speaker 11: hiring than had been reported. The unemployment rate remains unchanged
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: at 4.3%, where it's been for most of the year.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: In Aurora, Colorado, there is an outcry over an appeals
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: court decision to reverse the homicide convictions of two paramedics
• 41:26
  Speaker 9: who have been charged in connection with the death of
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: Elijah McClain. Median Schaffner is with the advocacy group Epitome

  Speaker 4: the goalposts.
• 41:44
  Speaker 11: That's all they did.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: You're listening to ABC News.
