Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, the weirdest damn thing happened today. 306 in the
- 0:03Speaker 1: afternoon on a Wednesday, June 17th at 77 degrees. It's
- 0:06Speaker 1: very pleasant. It's nice to be with you here. So
- 0:09Speaker 1: the strangest thing happened. I pull into the parking lot
- 0:12Speaker 1: here at our studio, 7461 South Avenue, as I normally
- 0:17Speaker 1: do to come to the broadcast here this afternoon, and
- 0:20Speaker 1: we have some Florida grass out there, and all of
- 0:22Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm looking at the Florida grass, and the
- 0:25Speaker 1: whole Florida grass is moving. It's moving. I'm saying there
- 0:29Speaker 1: isn't a wind or anything like that, and I look
- 0:32Speaker 1: at the Florida grass a little bit closer. Florida grass
- 0:36Speaker 1: is three, four foot high, and it's kind of moving
- 0:39Speaker 1: a little bit. Then it moves a little bit closer,
- 0:42Speaker 1: and there he is in his ghillie suit sneaking out
- 0:44Speaker 1: of the Florida grass. I said, oh my gosh. Look,
- 0:48Speaker 1: that isn't Florida grass. That's a grown adult man in
- 0:52Speaker 1: a ghillie suit that is undercover waiting for my arrival.
- 0:56Speaker 1: It's G2 who happened to be, was it hot out there?
- 1:00Speaker 2: It was hot, but remember, I told you that I
- 1:02Speaker 2: put a tunnel exit right outside the building, so it's
- 1:05Speaker 2: cool when I pop up.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, you know, it is the strangest damn
- 1:09Speaker 1: thing to see, though. I'm just sitting back there going,
- 1:14Speaker 1: is that plant moving? Is it moving closer to me?
- 1:17Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And there he is, you know,
- 1:21Speaker 1: in his ghillie suits, waiting for my arrival to surprise me,
- 1:26Speaker 1: and he's shocked and surprised me. I had to change
- 1:30Speaker 1: my underwear because it was very nerve-wracking for me. G2, welcome.
- 1:35Speaker 1: You'll be in the studio with me this afternoon on
- 1:40Speaker 1: this Wednesday. A good day for you to be here, incidentally,
- 1:42Speaker 1: isn't it?
- 1:43Speaker 3: Oh, it is.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I've been..
- 1:45Speaker 1: We're trying to understand a deal.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's... There aren't a lot of details, and
- 1:50Speaker 2: in the absence of details, people are filling it in
- 1:52Speaker 2: with what they hope or think or might imagine.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Yeah, he had some press conference today. I'm just looking
- 1:59Speaker 1: at him. I mean, just an observation. He's looking old,
- 2:03Speaker 1: isn't he?
- 2:04Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. If you're going through what
- 2:05Speaker 2: he's going through, and he's 80.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Do it at 60.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Do it at 50, 40. The fact that this guy's
- 2:11Speaker 2: still walking around under his own power is amazing. I mean,
- 2:14Speaker 2: you've got the economy. You've got the thing in Iran.
- 2:16Speaker 2: You've got you know these global negotiations he's he's chasing
- 2:19Speaker 2: the city of london crowd all over fighting the chinese
- 2:22Speaker 2: communist party it is astonishing that he's still on two
- 2:25Speaker 2: feet so you know i i i wouldn't be surprised
- 2:29Speaker 2: if he's a little tired and he just change time
- 2:30Speaker 2: zones uh... where was yesterday i don't know he is
- 2:35Speaker 2: It's not surprising that he looks a little worn out.
- 2:37Speaker 1: What about me? I came from Austintown to Boardman.
- 2:40Speaker 2: But see, you look fresh and energetic.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Because I had the living bejesus scared out of me
- 2:46Speaker 1: in the parking lot by a moving mound of Florida grass.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Well, you know, those Florida grass ghillie suits are harder
- 2:51Speaker 2: to put together because you've got to weave that long
- 2:54Speaker 2: grass into that.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Yes, I said, what are you doing out of the bunker?
- 2:57Speaker 2: I usually do the poison ivy ghillie suit, which is
- 3:00Speaker 2: great because then anybody comes close to you, you can
- 3:01Speaker 2: kind of, you know.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Yeah, you back away and that kind of stuff.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:05Speaker 1: All right. We'll get some calls. But, I mean, I
- 3:09Speaker 1: am just trying to get to the bottom of this
- 3:11Speaker 1: deal to fully understand it. Maybe some of our listeners
- 3:13Speaker 1: understand it better than your fearless leader here. I don't know,
- 3:19Speaker 1: the $ 300 million, he says it's not our money. I'm
- 3:22Speaker 1: not sure whose money it is.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Well, remember, there are a lot of parties. involved in
- 3:27Speaker 2: this deal, right?
- 3:27Speaker 1: It's not a deal. What is it? A memorandum of understanding.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Right.
- 3:31Speaker 2: So this is a memorandum of understanding that would lay
- 3:33Speaker 2: the groundwork then to get to a deal. And there
- 3:36Speaker 2: are a lot of parties involved in this negotiation. You've got,
- 3:38Speaker 2: of course, the Pakistanis serving as the go-between. You've got
- 3:41Speaker 2: the Gulf Coast countries that have real existential threats from Iran.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Now pause a minute. The Pakistanis, the people that were
- 3:47Speaker 1: hiding bin Laden.
- 3:49Speaker 2: You mean the CIA? Or what do you mean?
- 3:51Speaker 1: Pakistan.
- 3:51Speaker 4: Pakistan.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, the CIA. Yeah, they were hiding bin Laden.
- 3:54Speaker 2: All right, well, if you go back and talk to
- 3:56Speaker 2: a guy named Kurt Weldon, he will tell you that
- 3:58Speaker 2: when he was in Congress at the beginning of that war,
- 4:01Speaker 2: he got.
- 4:01Speaker 1: A phone call.
- 4:02Speaker 2: And a guy showed up and talked about knowing exactly
- 4:04Speaker 2: where bin Laden was. He tracked him because they saw
- 4:07Speaker 2: his falcons. Because he never travels without his falcons. Because,
- 4:10Speaker 2: you know, falconry is a big deal. They knew he
- 4:12Speaker 2: was in Pakistan.
- 4:13Speaker 1: You mean birds? Falcon birds?
- 4:15Speaker 5: Yes.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 4:16Speaker 2: Yeah, not the fighter jet.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So they..
- 4:19Speaker 2: He was in– when we sent people hunting him theoretically
- 4:23Speaker 2: in Afghanistan, he was safely in Iran.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Okay, but I'm saying that when I hear Pakistan, or
- 4:30Speaker 1: how did Obama say it? Pakistan or something? Yeah, he
- 4:34Speaker 1: tried to sound local.
- 4:34Speaker 2: You know, that's the way Hillary sounds when she goes
- 4:37Speaker 2: down south and suddenly she sounds like a southern belt.
- 4:39Speaker 1: But when I heard Pakistan, that's the first thing I think. Oh,
- 4:43Speaker 1: the country that was hiding bin Laden that we had
- 4:44Speaker 1: to go into and get bin Laden out.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Yes, they are not a great ally, but they have
- 4:48Speaker 2: been an ally since the Cold War. And they are
- 4:51Speaker 2: the one group or one of the groups there that
- 4:53Speaker 2: can speak to all parties.
- 4:54Speaker 1: So it was..
- 4:56Speaker 2: Really probably not a bad go-between to have if you
- 4:59Speaker 2: have to have one, and clearly they did. One thing
- 5:02Speaker 2: that I heard the other day that I hadn't really
- 5:05Speaker 2: focused on or heard is that in the beginning of
- 5:08Speaker 2: this whole debacle, Trump reached out or sent sort of,
- 5:12Speaker 2: you know, messages to the iranians that he could talk
- 5:16Speaker 2: the way he did with kim jong-un and other people
- 5:18Speaker 2: that he was told by the deep state don't you
- 5:19Speaker 2: dare talk to them you can only know what we
- 5:21Speaker 2: tell you to know.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I wonder how he sent the message to the iranians
- 5:25Speaker 1: and who he sent it to.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Well i think he said it you know a tie
- 5:27Speaker 2: to the leg of a falcon because.
- 5:28Speaker 1: They carry pigeons because i mean what person in iran
- 5:35Speaker 1: wants them to know their phone number and where they're
- 5:37Speaker 1: at Who in Iran wants to say, keep my cell
- 5:41Speaker 1: phone on, waiting for his call? Yeah, if somebody shows
- 5:44Speaker 1: up and says, I'd like to get a DNA sample,
- 5:45Speaker 1: you know that. Is that a jet overhead?
- 5:47Speaker 2: You know, the helicopters are coming. So, you know, you've
- 5:51Speaker 2: got to have somebody in the middle. And when he
- 5:54Speaker 2: reached out to the Iranians, the way this gentleman that
- 5:56Speaker 2: I heard speak of it, he reaches out to the
- 5:59Speaker 2: Iranians in whatever manner, and they decided the show of
- 6:02Speaker 2: strength was to not talk to him. Now, luckily, Kim
- 6:04Speaker 2: Jong-un didn't take that position. Of course, Trump looks at
- 6:08Speaker 2: that as a sign of weakness. They look at it
- 6:10Speaker 2: and think they're being strong and defiant. As a result,
- 6:13Speaker 2: they get 16,000 targets destroyed. It probably would have been better.
- 6:17Speaker 1: To just pick up the phone. Kind of how I
- 6:18Speaker 1: look at it when my wife gives me the silent treatment.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Exactly the same.
- 6:21Speaker 1: I say to myself, I'm looking strong. That's right. Right?
- 6:25Speaker 2: And she says that incoming.
- 6:28Speaker 1: I'm saying, boy, do I look tough. Keep your head down.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Danger close. Right, right. And before long, I'm whimpering like
- 6:34Speaker 1: a baby.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Right, right.
- 6:37Speaker 1: So usually around dinner time.
- 6:38Speaker 2: So you got you got a lot of parties involved
- 6:41Speaker 2: in this deal that have real significant stakes in it.
- 6:45Speaker 2: And he's trying to hold all this together while fighting Israel,
- 6:48Speaker 2: you know, because Israel obviously does not want to stop there.
- 6:51Speaker 2: This isn't me saying it or imagining it. They say
- 6:54Speaker 2: we're going to finish killing all the Lebanese. I don't
- 6:57Speaker 2: think they say it that way. They say we're going
- 6:58Speaker 2: to finish conquering Lebanon or however they say they want Lebanon.
- 7:02Speaker 2: And I don't know if they're going to stop at
- 7:04Speaker 2: the Latani River. They're going to keep going north. I mean,
- 7:06Speaker 2: it's just hard to know what they're willing to stop at.
- 7:09Speaker 2: But they are extremely upset, which is why you see, like,
- 7:12Speaker 2: Howard Lutnick standing behind him looking frustrated.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Yeah, what was up with Lutnick? Why is Lutnick there? Well,
- 7:18Speaker 1: Lutnick's there because, you know— Shouldn't he be at Epstein Island?
- 7:21Speaker 1: He should be probably vacationing at this point. And I
- 7:23Speaker 1: would guess after this he'll be vacationing soon.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Because he's got to be frustrated that Israel isn't getting
- 7:28Speaker 2: what it wants. And so— um so i think he's
- 7:32Speaker 2: he's a bit too close to that particular actor to
- 7:34Speaker 2: be effective in this and i think marco rubio also
- 7:39Speaker 2: who's done a fabulous job in a lot of ways
- 7:41Speaker 2: but you know how many times did he go to
- 7:43Speaker 2: the wailing wall in the first year like i think
- 7:45Speaker 2: it was every two weeks i think that rubio has
- 7:48Speaker 2: incredibly close ties and we saw that when they decided
- 7:50Speaker 2: to say hey maybe it's not jd vance maybe it's
- 7:53Speaker 2: marco that all came from that same group right so
- 7:56Speaker 2: so he's pretty close he's got to be a little
- 7:59Speaker 2: bit stretched right now And so they sent J.D. Vance
- 8:02Speaker 2: because he's the one that was arguing for the domestic
- 8:05Speaker 2: agenda when this war started. He was the one loudest
- 8:08Speaker 2: in the room saying no.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yeah, but they were saying that this is... I don't
- 8:12Speaker 1: know how to describe this deal, if you will. It's
- 8:15Speaker 1: a memorandum of understanding. And if they don't adhere to
- 8:18Speaker 1: some of this stuff, we'll go right back to bombing
- 8:20Speaker 1: in 60 days. It almost sounds like a ceasefire.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Well, it kind of is.
- 8:25Speaker 1: So it's not a deal yet?
- 8:27Speaker 3: No.
- 8:28Speaker 2: No, it's a step in a deal. It's in the
- 8:30Speaker 2: process of negotiating a deal. They do the same thing
- 8:33Speaker 2: in transactions when you're going to buy a company. You
- 8:34Speaker 2: come to a memorandum of understanding sometimes. Sometimes you go
- 8:37Speaker 2: just to a contract. But, you know, many times you
- 8:39Speaker 2: start with an MOU and say, okay, we're going to
- 8:40Speaker 2: set the general terms, and then we're going to negotiate
- 8:43Speaker 2: the details. And it's how you find a– it's an
- 8:48Speaker 2: important milestone in moving forward to get to a conclusion. Now,
- 8:51Speaker 2: we may not be able to get to a conclusion.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Okay. I'm using this technique. I mean, whenever I have
- 8:57Speaker 1: a disagreement with my wife, I'm going to say, let's
- 8:59Speaker 1: have a memorandum of understanding. Well, I'm going to use
- 9:03Speaker 1: it on her. I think it might work.
- 9:04Speaker 2: But it's possible that she believes she's imposing upon you
- 9:07Speaker 2: an understanding, and you can memorandum it or not.
- 9:09Speaker 1: She probably would say that. This is the memorandum of understanding.
- 9:13Speaker 1: You're not understanding what I'm telling you to do. That's
- 9:16Speaker 1: what she said.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Memorandum this, buddy.
- 9:19Speaker 1: What I'm telling you to do in my memorandum of
- 9:21Speaker 1: understanding is get your act together and pick up after yourself.
- 9:25Speaker 6: That's right.
- 9:26Speaker 1: That's what I'm telling you.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Got it.
- 9:28Speaker 1: You know what I mean? There's no negotiating. No. That's
- 9:31Speaker 1: going on. But I am. So basically, this is a
- 9:35Speaker 1: we'll see if they follow this for 60 days. And
- 9:37Speaker 1: if not, we could go right back to bombing. So
- 9:39Speaker 1: it's it's not like I can go.
- 9:43Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. And here's one of the
- 9:45Speaker 2: big challenges of this is that the entire nation in
- 9:47Speaker 2: real time. That's the problem with having the most transparent
- 9:50Speaker 2: president ever. I mean, this guy's always talking to the media,
- 9:52Speaker 2: takes phone calls from reporters directly. we're all going through
- 9:56Speaker 2: this negotiation with him but none of us are at
- 9:58Speaker 2: the table so we're not hearing what's actually happening. And
- 10:01Speaker 2: much of our interpretation come from people who love Trump
- 10:04Speaker 2: and can see him doing no wrong, love Israel and
- 10:07Speaker 2: will stand by their interest and direction at any cost
- 10:10Speaker 2: to Mark Levin's. And some of them hate Trump. And
- 10:13Speaker 2: no matter what he achieves, it'll be bad. You know, look,
- 10:17Speaker 2: you know, we'd Because we all have these lenses, we're
- 10:20Speaker 2: looking through it to color it the way we want.
- 10:22Speaker 2: I'm looking at it and saying, okay, if the bombing's
- 10:25Speaker 2: going to stop and the Lebanese are going to stop dying,
- 10:27Speaker 2: now we've got a shot at stabilization that could lead
- 10:30Speaker 2: to a transaction. And I don't buy this idea that
- 10:34Speaker 2: the Iranians get stronger every day. I don't understand that.
- 10:38Speaker 2: If they're being denied the ability to sell oil, as
- 10:40Speaker 2: I said before, they're being denied $ 400 million or $ 500
- 10:42Speaker 2: million a day. They need to continue to keep control
- 10:45Speaker 2: in their country. it's clear they can accept any kind
- 10:48Speaker 2: of real you know surrender because to be the end
- 10:51Speaker 2: of the regime for us to go in and force
- 10:54Speaker 2: the change it i keep saying this isn't a video
- 10:57Speaker 2: game we don't just push a few buttons on a
- 10:59Speaker 2: screen and all the sudden you know iran become some
- 11:01Speaker 2: kind of uh..
- 11:02Speaker 4: Uh..
- 11:02Speaker 2: You know subsidiary united states it's it's ninety million people
- 11:06Speaker 2: tens of millions of you whom hate this country and
- 11:10Speaker 2: it's going to be tough and we just bond them
- 11:12Speaker 2: sixteen thousand times that doesn't build goodwill So we're looking
- 11:17Speaker 2: for total capitulation.
- 11:18Speaker 1: You're not going to find that.
- 11:19Speaker 7: No.
- 11:20Speaker 2: As I said in February and in early March, if
- 11:23Speaker 2: you want total capitulation.
- 11:24Speaker 1: We don't understand their culture.
- 11:26Speaker 7: At all.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And, and, and so look at their motivation. Can they
- 11:29Speaker 2: accept surrender?
- 11:30Speaker 6: No.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Have we damaged them enough that they feel like they're
- 11:34Speaker 2: going to lose control of their country? Well, no, we've
- 11:36Speaker 2: blown up a lot of military targets, but they're still
- 11:38Speaker 2: running power. They're still drinking water, at least where they
- 11:41Speaker 2: have water. They've had some water problems. Uh, So they're
- 11:45Speaker 2: still in control and they need to maintain that control.
- 11:47Speaker 2: They need to look strong to the inside. which is
- 11:50Speaker 2: what they're trying to hold on to.
- 11:51Speaker 1: And they had a strategy, I think. I think their
- 11:54Speaker 1: strategy was let's wait it out, the midterms. I don't
- 11:56Speaker 1: think they were void of a strategy, too.
- 11:59Speaker 2: No, the strategy was real simple. It was like the
- 12:01Speaker 2: turtle strategy, right? Pull in your arms and legs and head.
- 12:03Speaker 2: You're going to lose some things, but the shell will
- 12:05Speaker 2: hold at least because they know.
- 12:07Speaker 1: We'll take this beating.
- 12:08Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:09Speaker 1: We'll survive. And so he's got a timeline on his hands,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and many of the— people in the Middle East will
- 12:18Speaker 1: side with us because they hate the United States too.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Well, they may have thought that, but of course that
- 12:23Speaker 2: hasn't happened. And that's the thing. They're fairly isolated. You
- 12:27Speaker 2: haven't seen China rushing in with 900,000 troops like they
- 12:30Speaker 2: did in North Korea.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:31Speaker 5: Right?
- 12:32Speaker 2: You haven't seen the Russians sending in fighter jets and
- 12:35Speaker 2: ballistic missiles. So they really are somewhat isolated, which is
- 12:39Speaker 2: a critical point here. You know, This country's been under
- 12:42Speaker 2: sanctions for decades.
- 12:43Speaker 1: But are their neighbors going to side with Israel or Iran?
- 12:48Speaker 1: They're Middle East neighbors. Who are they going to side with?
- 12:50Speaker 2: The Gulf Coast countries are going to side with a prosperous, safe,
- 12:53Speaker 2: secure future. And you know how hard they fight to
- 12:56Speaker 2: maintain control of their own kingdoms because they've got radicals
- 13:00Speaker 2: all over the place that would like very much to
- 13:01Speaker 2: get control of that Saudi oil field, right? They'd love
- 13:04Speaker 2: to have Saudi Aramco become, you know, the ISIS Aramco, right?
- 13:09Speaker 1: And so..
- 13:11Speaker 2: I just don't think that you have a large group
- 13:15Speaker 2: of supporting countries that are going to do a lot
- 13:17Speaker 2: for them. Now, for us to go in and, as
- 13:20Speaker 2: everybody keeps saying, finish the job, what's that going to take? Well,
- 13:24Speaker 2: we're not going to do that with conventional bombs. So
- 13:26Speaker 2: we're either going to put a million people into the
- 13:28Speaker 2: Middle East and do a ground invasion, because it's going
- 13:31Speaker 2: to take about a million people with support staff and warfighters.
- 13:34Speaker 2: We're going to have to start probably a draft.
- 13:35Speaker 1: 6,000 miles from America.
- 13:36Speaker 8: Right.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Maybe we'll have to have a draft. And then we're
- 13:39Speaker 2: going to probably have to use at least tactical nukes,
- 13:41Speaker 2: if not real nukes, because if you're going to do
- 13:43Speaker 2: this without a serious loss of life on our side,
- 13:45Speaker 2: and Israel's not going to do the groundwork. I mean,
- 13:47Speaker 2: they'll send in the IDF, but they don't have anywhere
- 13:49Speaker 2: near the force to take this country on.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And he knows the American people aren't going to support that.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Everyone knows it. The Iranians know it. So they know
- 13:56Speaker 2: that all they have to do is survive the bombings
- 14:00Speaker 2: and live to fight another day. And locking down the Gulf,
- 14:05Speaker 2: effectively the Strait of Hormuz, gives them leverage over the world.
- 14:08Speaker 2: But it also gives the world a reason to pressure
- 14:11Speaker 2: them to yield.
- 14:12Speaker 1: So it says here, the U.S. Department of Treasury will
- 14:14Speaker 1: issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum
- 14:19Speaker 1: products and derivatives, and all associated services including banking transactions, insurance, transportation, etc.
- 14:27Speaker 1: The agreement states, according to officials. Let's see, an official emphasized...
- 14:32Speaker 1: The oil waivers are the only major benefit Iran will
- 14:35Speaker 1: receive before a final agreement is reached, arguing that the
- 14:39Speaker 1: move would increase transparency into Iranian oil sales while helping
- 14:43Speaker 1: reduce global energy prices. Well, there you go. It's a
- 14:48Speaker 1: good outcome.
- 14:48Speaker 2: I mean, so that kind of helps everybody in this meantime.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Everybody says, well, they're getting stronger every day. They get
- 14:53Speaker 2: time to rebuild.
- 14:54Speaker 1: So do we.
- 14:55Speaker 2: You know, I mean, our defense industry doesn't move quite
- 14:58Speaker 2: fast enough in creating Missiles and weapons, but I'm sure
- 15:01Speaker 2: with the money they're getting now with this trillion-dollar defense budget,
- 15:04Speaker 2: they'll find a way to get us a few more
- 15:05Speaker 2: things at a million dollars a pop. So, you know,
- 15:09Speaker 2: we are not– I'm not understanding how you think a
- 15:14Speaker 2: country that's isolated, that's not shipping oil, that has been
- 15:17Speaker 2: bombed over and over again, that has no control of
- 15:19Speaker 2: its air or navy or waters, outside of being able
- 15:23Speaker 2: to stop commercial cargo going through, how is it that
- 15:25Speaker 2: they're doing so well? They're just surviving.
- 15:28Speaker 1: It says, in negotiations aimed at a final agreement, the
- 15:31Speaker 1: memorandum also calls for the U.S. and regional partners to
- 15:35Speaker 1: develop a plan worth at least $ 300 billion for the
- 15:38Speaker 1: reconstruction and economic development of Iran. Officials stress the provision
- 15:42Speaker 1: does not commit the U.S. to providing the funds, arguing
- 15:45Speaker 1: instead it would permit outside investors. We'll talk about that
- 15:49Speaker 1: in more of your calls.
- 15:51Speaker 9: News Radio 570 WKBN.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Ron Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoney with G2 in
- 15:56Speaker 1: the studio. Let's mix in some calls as we go here.
- 15:58Speaker 1: You're on the air.
- 16:00Speaker 5: Hey, guys.
- 16:01Speaker 7: Yes.
- 16:02Speaker 10: You're going to have a memorandum of understanding with your wife?
- 16:05Speaker 8: Yes.
- 16:05Speaker 1: That's how I'm going to operate from now on.
- 16:08Speaker 10: You are a dead man.
- 16:09Speaker 1: No, I think it's a great idea. Don't you think
- 16:11Speaker 1: it'll work? Why should I have cut a deal? I'm
- 16:15Speaker 1: going to use it tonight. I think we have a
- 16:17Speaker 1: memorandum of understanding. Like I said in G2, though, I
- 16:20Speaker 1: know how it's going to go, because she'll say, well,
- 16:23Speaker 1: here's what you need to understand. You need to understand
- 16:25Speaker 1: to put the dishes in the dishwasher when you're done eating, period.
- 16:28Speaker 1: That's what you need to understand.
- 16:30Speaker 10: Okay, now my call is not politics, but I want
- 16:33Speaker 10: to get this out to everybody. We've got a birthday
- 16:36Speaker 10: coming up here, a 250-year birthday.
- 16:37Speaker 6: Okay.
- 16:39Speaker 10: So that gives everybody two and a half weeks to
- 16:41Speaker 10: find their time capsules that was buried hidden in 1926
- 16:47Speaker 10: and 1976. So I'd like people to go out and
- 16:52Speaker 10: look or investigate where they're at. And on Fourth of July,
- 16:58Speaker 10: we'd like to know what's in them so they can
- 16:59Speaker 10: call in.
- 17:02Speaker 1: What makes you think people have a buried time capsule, incidentally?
- 17:05Speaker 1: Because I've been around all this time, and I've never
- 17:08Speaker 1: really buried a time capsule.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Really?
- 17:11Speaker 1: Yeah, really.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Isn't there one in Struthers or Campbell? Isn't there one
- 17:15Speaker 2: next to one of the lakes? I'm just talking.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Who has buried capsules?
- 17:20Speaker 10: School districts do.
- 17:22Speaker 3: We were kids.
- 17:25Speaker 10: Somebody buried a time capsule for us in 1976. So
- 17:30Speaker 10: I'd like to know where that went.
- 17:32Speaker 1: And what's probably what do you mean where that went?
- 17:34Speaker 1: It probably is right where they buried it.
- 17:37Speaker 10: Where we're at, Ron. A lot of people who did
- 17:40Speaker 10: this have already died. A lot of buildings have burned
- 17:44Speaker 10: down that had information and on and on and on.
- 17:47Speaker 11: So.
- 17:48Speaker 1: All right.
- 17:49Speaker 10: I'd like to know.
- 17:50Speaker 1: All right. I got you. Thank you. Thank you. That's unique.
- 17:53Speaker 1: You're on here.
- 17:55Speaker 7: Right.
- 17:56Speaker 6: I took time out from buying stocks today. to read
- 18:01Speaker 6: that memorandum of understanding?
- 18:03Speaker 1: Yes, Frank from Fort Lauderdale. Go ahead. Give me your thoughts.
- 18:07Speaker 1: I'm interested.
- 18:08Speaker 6: Okay, but first I wanted to say that I bought
- 18:13Speaker 6: stocks because the market crashed because Walsh said he's not
- 18:17Speaker 6: going to raise rates now, but he will later in
- 18:21Speaker 6: the year. So I'm picking up some stocks real cheap
- 18:25Speaker 6: while it's crashing.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Dow tumbles 300 points after rates jump as Fed officials
- 18:33Speaker 1: signal possible hike this year. Well, I bet you that. Now, seriously,
- 18:38Speaker 1: that's got to really piss Trump off.
- 18:41Speaker 6: It sure is.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I mean, because that's what his problem was with the
- 18:45Speaker 1: former Fed guy, that he wanted to lower rates. Then
- 18:49Speaker 1: he puts this guy in, and he's talking about raising rates.
- 18:52Speaker 6: Well, interest on the national debt. will cost the federal
- 18:56Speaker 6: government more money now.
- 18:59Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 19:00Speaker 1: But you're right. The market went down today as a result.
- 19:04Speaker 6: Oh, by the way, that guy that was not happy
- 19:07Speaker 6: when I said when investments go way up in two,
- 19:11Speaker 6: three days in a row, you might want to short
- 19:15Speaker 6: sell in case there's profit taking.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Yeah, stand by.
- 19:19Speaker 8: Stand by.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Back after the headlines. Ron Furb with G2. Stay tuned.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Start knowing.
- 19:25Speaker 1: News Radio 570.
- 19:26Speaker 9: WKVWKVN. All right, let's.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Get back to it. 335 in the afternoon. It's a
- 19:32Speaker 1: gorgeous day. It's 76 degrees. Fort Lauderdale, Frank, is talking
- 19:35Speaker 1: about the market's down today because of the Fed guy
- 19:39Speaker 1: saying he might raise interest rates. Okay, pick it up, Frank.
- 19:42Speaker 6: And also, it sounds like Iran is dictating terms. The
- 19:47Speaker 6: return of $ 12 billion in frozen funds. in the lifting
- 19:51Speaker 6: of sanctions. And you know, within 60 days, the U.S.
- 19:55Speaker 6: will have to release the final $ 12 billion in Iran's
- 19:58Speaker 6: frozen assets. But in return, Iran will forego the development
- 20:03Speaker 6: of nuclear weapons. But I read the head of UAE
- 20:07Speaker 6: security traveled to Iran allegedly to release two billion frozen
- 20:13Speaker 6: funds to Iran. And also, with support from China, Pakistan
- 20:19Speaker 6: may well be selling Chinese J-10C fighters to Qatar, Bahrain,
- 20:24Speaker 6: Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Because my guess is the Arabs
- 20:28Speaker 6: know they can't depend on Washington for protection in exchange
- 20:33Speaker 6: for requiring countries buying oil with U.S.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Dollars.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Okay, now pause for a second. So explain the deal.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Do you think the deal was a good— what we know
- 20:45Speaker 1: about it was good, bad? How do you assess this memorandum?
- 20:50Speaker 6: I think it was total capitulation. You know, Trump said
- 20:54Speaker 6: many times in the 2024 campaign that if you vote
- 20:58Speaker 6: for Kamala, you will get war, and if you vote
- 21:01Speaker 6: for me and J.D.
- 21:02Speaker 12: Vance, you won't.
- 21:03Speaker 6: You know, Iran didn't enrich to 60% until the Iran
- 21:07Speaker 6: deal was nullified by Trump. Before that, there were inspections
- 21:12Speaker 6: and invasive surveillance, and nobody thought Iran was about to
- 21:16Speaker 6: get a nuclear. Even Tulsi Gabbard said the intelligence community
- 21:20Speaker 6: was convinced that Iran wasn't even trying. Ron, I've been hearing..
- 21:25Speaker 1: Okay, now hang on a second. Just hang on a second.
- 21:28Speaker 1: The $ 300 billion that's supposed to go to... Iran. Explain
- 21:33Speaker 1: that to me, Frank. It says, in negotiations aimed at
- 21:36Speaker 1: a final agreement, the memorandum also calls for the U.S.
- 21:39Speaker 1: and regional partners to develop a plan worth at least
- 21:42Speaker 1: $ 300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Officials stress the provision does not commit the U.S. to
- 21:50Speaker 1: providing the funds, arguing instead it would permit outside investment
- 21:54Speaker 1: if a final deal is reached and Iran complies with
- 21:57Speaker 1: its obligations. What's that mean?
- 21:59Speaker 6: Well, I think a little difference there. That $ 300 billion
- 22:04Speaker 6: is to reconstruct Iran for us and Israel destroying their country.
- 22:09Speaker 6: But the $ 24 billion in frozen assets is part of
- 22:13Speaker 6: that memorandum of understanding if Trump signs it. And you
- 22:18Speaker 6: know what, Ron? I'm sick and tired of hearing that
- 22:22Speaker 6: Iran is two weeks away from a nuclear weapon. I've
- 22:26Speaker 6: been hearing that for 40 years now. You know, the
- 22:32Speaker 6: latest polls say that 63% of American Jews oppose the
- 22:37Speaker 6: government of Israel, like Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's,
- 22:41Speaker 6: for example. Now, the Greater Israel Project is from Palestine
- 22:47Speaker 6: to Pakistan. Israel wants all that territory. But, you know,
- 22:51Speaker 6: the majority of American Jews are America's most productive citizens
- 22:56Speaker 6: and want no part of Israel's genocide and other war crimes.
- 23:01Speaker 6: You just got the Republican right-wingers like Jacob Designist that
- 23:08Speaker 6: are cheerleading for this war, but none of them, like
- 23:11Speaker 6: Rich the pharmacist, are willing to enlist and go over
- 23:15Speaker 6: there and fight.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Well, they're too old. I mean, Rich is too old.
- 23:17Speaker 1: I believe, first of all, Rich has flat feet and
- 23:19Speaker 1: he's too old. hang on a second hang on any
- 23:23Speaker 1: comment g2 well wait a second there you.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Go i think ben cohen uh the ben from ben
- 23:28Speaker 2: and jerry's he's so he's a lib he hates the
- 23:30Speaker 2: united states too so i don't look to him for
- 23:33Speaker 2: guidance on anything political or geopolitical or anything that guy
- 23:36Speaker 2: i mean he's just a nut but the but the
- 23:39Speaker 2: comment you made about tulsi gabbard is a critical element
- 23:42Speaker 2: here you know yeah you've been hearing this your whole
- 23:44Speaker 2: life that they're two weeks away what are they going
- 23:45Speaker 2: to tell us now four weeks you know last summer
- 23:48Speaker 2: we were told The nuclear program is in these three locations.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Great.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Trump destroys them. Almost no loss of life, no war.
- 23:55Speaker 1: A bunker buster.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Yeah, really great execution. And they all wasn't there.
- 23:58Speaker 1: And I believe it was successful. I really do believe that.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Well, whatever was there was taken out, right? Then it's, oh, well,
- 24:03Speaker 2: it wasn't just there. No, they're going to dig out. No,
- 24:05Speaker 2: we've got to go in and attack them again. They've
- 24:07Speaker 2: been pushing for this war for four decades, at least.
- 24:10Speaker 2: I guess since 1947, probably. I don't know. They've wanted
- 24:13Speaker 2: this war since before Israel was founded. So it is absolutely–
- 24:18Speaker 2: there is absolutely nothing that is going to satisfy the
- 24:22Speaker 2: Israelis except the total destruction of Iran. I mean that's
- 24:25Speaker 2: what they wanted. I've referenced many times now this Trump
- 24:29Speaker 2: term one silly drone thing they did where they flew
- 24:32Speaker 2: a drone really close to Iran. It got shot down.
- 24:34Speaker 2: They launched the bombers and Trump says, how many civilians
- 24:38Speaker 2: are going to die? They gave him a number. He said, OK,
- 24:39Speaker 2: it's not worth it. It was a robot.
- 24:40Speaker 7: Let it go.
- 24:41Speaker 2: They tried and tried and tried to provoke this war
- 24:44Speaker 2: now they have all right i don't think it was
- 24:46Speaker 2: a great idea to do this work this time and
- 24:48Speaker 2: and the comments about policy ever correct why was she
- 24:51Speaker 2: not coming out during this time and saying on a
- 24:53Speaker 2: no there's a nuclear threat you're all missing the point
- 24:56Speaker 2: and she didn't she came out before this war and
- 24:59Speaker 2: said there really was no serious nuclear threat by all
- 25:02Speaker 2: right so we did the bombing it's off the table
- 25:04Speaker 2: that wasn't enough so they bring it back and there
- 25:06Speaker 2: are millions of americans that believe we were all about
- 25:09Speaker 2: to die in a mushroom cloud from iran And it's
- 25:12Speaker 2: just not true. So, okay, let's, so that's, I agree, Frank,
- 25:15Speaker 2: that's off the table, right? That's just not real. So
- 25:18Speaker 2: now we're in..
- 25:18Speaker 6: G2, are you aware that Iran is the most peaceful
- 25:23Speaker 6: nation in the world after Switzerland?
- 25:26Speaker 4: No.
- 25:26Speaker 6: They haven't attacked anybody for two and a half centuries.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, I'll take a slight twist
- 25:31Speaker 1: on that.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Iran has avoided war in their own country because, like us,
- 25:35Speaker 2: they fund wars in other countries. So, you know, we
- 25:38Speaker 2: don't fight in New Jersey because we fight in a
- 25:40Speaker 2: global war.
- 25:40Speaker 6: Do you blame them?
- 25:41Speaker 1: Well, it's not about blame. We don't fight in New Jersey.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Because we fight all over the world. They don't fight
- 25:49Speaker 2: in Iran because they've got Hezbollah, the Houthis, and they've
- 25:51Speaker 2: got Hamas that are fighting around Israel, keeping Israel engaged,
- 25:55Speaker 2: and doing other things. And because they're very formidable as
- 25:58Speaker 2: a country. Geography, population, attitudes is a very tough place
- 26:03Speaker 2: to crack. So Iran has successfully kept war from their shores,
- 26:07Speaker 2: as we have, until now. so so the strategies worked
- 26:11Speaker 2: but i wouldn't consider them a peaceful country given their
- 26:14Speaker 2: constant funding of attacks in other places remember when the u.s.
- 26:18Speaker 2: embassy was breached on december thirty one two thousand nineteen
- 26:22Speaker 2: whose name was written on the outside wall of that
- 26:24Speaker 2: embassy i'm sorry wasn't breached it was attacked they didn't
- 26:27Speaker 2: get in and they underestimated trump but whose name was
- 26:30Speaker 2: written on that wall general solomani because he was the
- 26:34Speaker 2: one that orchestrated that assault on and i think with
- 26:36Speaker 2: some friends united states who wanted to take trump out
- 26:38Speaker 2: of office named the democrat party i think they definitely
- 26:41Speaker 2: never have freaked out they got when solomony got.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Killed why was that because he's their ally that's why the.
- 26:46Speaker 6: Democrats freaked out who's killing shiites in syria is it iranians.
- 26:52Speaker 2: That to think that the iranians have been active in
- 26:54Speaker 2: syria would.
- 26:55Speaker 6: Be a little naive and and that that makes them
- 26:59Speaker 6: a war-like country i completely disagree with you and you
- 27:02Speaker 6: know what i read a military journal that says the
- 27:06Speaker 6: iranian uranium is secure, it would take 100,000 ground troops
- 27:12Speaker 6: or more. And they could be going through that country
- 27:15Speaker 6: for a year and still maybe not find it.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Oh, we're not invading Iran with 100,000 ground troops. Nothing
- 27:20Speaker 2: like that. It would be many, many, many more than
- 27:22Speaker 2: that in order to effectively penetrate that country.
- 27:27Speaker 1: That's not going to happen, though, right? No.
- 27:30Speaker 2: There's no way it's going to happen. The American people
- 27:32Speaker 2: won't support it. It will change everything, and no, it's
- 27:36Speaker 2: not going to happen.
- 27:36Speaker 1: All right, quick comment, Frank. Who do you think, so
- 27:39Speaker 1: what do you make of the Memorandum of Understanding in general?
- 27:44Speaker 6: Well, I think it trumps between a rock and a
- 27:47Speaker 6: hard place if he doesn't sign it. And the war
- 27:50Speaker 6: continues on. Look at inflation. Look how bad the economy
- 27:56Speaker 6: is doing. I mean, you know what? We're going to
- 28:00Speaker 6: have higher unemployment. Stagflation will continue. If he doesn't do
- 28:05Speaker 6: this deal soon... It's not so much that oil prices
- 28:09Speaker 6: will keep going up. High oil prices causes recessions and depressions,
- 28:15Speaker 6: not inflation. It's the Federal Reserve. And by the way, G2,
- 28:20Speaker 6: you said recently that Congress has the power to print money.
- 28:24Speaker 6: You are dead wrong. It's the Federal Reserve that has
- 28:27Speaker 6: the power to print and create money. Congress... has the
- 28:31Speaker 6: power to tax and spend. They control fiscal policy. The
- 28:36Speaker 6: Fed controls monetary policy. You are totally wrong on that.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Well, that's great news, Frank, because then that means Congress
- 28:42Speaker 2: can only spend what it taxes, and that means we're
- 28:44Speaker 2: going to have a balanced budget. So I'm excited to
- 28:47Speaker 2: hear your analysis. That's brilliance. Could you convey that message
- 28:51Speaker 2: to Spender Johnson and this idiot Thune?
- 28:53Speaker 1: We'll spend more than we take in. They run $ 2
- 28:56Speaker 1: trillion debits. What do you think?
- 28:59Speaker 2: They go down to Walmart and pick up the cash
- 29:00Speaker 2: out of the drawers at night? Where do you think
- 29:02Speaker 2: it's coming from? It's just a dumb argument.
- 29:05Speaker 1: All right, fellas. Thank you.
- 29:07Speaker 6: Congress doesn't have the power to print money, G2.
- 29:09Speaker 1: But they're spending more than they've taken in. Yeah, and
- 29:12Speaker 1: it just appears out of the sky. So they don't
- 29:14Speaker 1: print the money, but they spend more than it. They
- 29:16Speaker 1: put us in a debt.
- 29:17Speaker 2: That's correct. And technically, the Treasury should be the ones
- 29:20Speaker 2: doing the printing. But that's a silly point.
- 29:22Speaker 5: All right.
- 29:23Speaker 1: You're on the air. Ron Furber, G2.
- 29:24Speaker 4: Hello.
- 29:26Speaker 8: Now this big large sink this is pete this good
- 29:29Speaker 8: large mom money that being held at two hundred or
- 29:32Speaker 8: five hundred billion or whatever that.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Was $ 24 billion.
- 29:36Speaker 8: Yeah, $ 24 billion. I think what brought this war to
- 29:39Speaker 8: a dead stop is when Iran was always being able
- 29:45Speaker 8: to get money into the country to make the country work.
- 29:48Speaker 8: And it was due to because of Saudi Arabia and
- 29:51Speaker 8: United Emirates that secretly helped them take oil from From Iran,
- 30:00Speaker 8: put it in other tankers, and send it out of there.
- 30:03Speaker 8: And there started a banking industry hid from everybody else.
- 30:07Speaker 8: And they're holding it. Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
- 30:15Speaker 8: But anyhow, they said, you've got to stop because we're
- 30:19Speaker 8: going to hold this money.
- 30:21Speaker 2: So there's a ghost fleet, right, of these tankers that
- 30:24Speaker 2: are supposed to not be traceable, that everybody knows exist.
- 30:26Speaker 2: And they sail around with these cargos out of places
- 30:29Speaker 2: like Iran and other sanctioned oil. And they'll go somewhere
- 30:31Speaker 2: like the Malacca Straits, and they'll transfer it from one
- 30:33Speaker 2: ship to another. This all happens in broad daylight. Again,
- 30:35Speaker 2: as we all know, we can surveil any part of
- 30:38Speaker 2: the planet at any time in great detail. So there
- 30:40Speaker 2: is a ghost fleet. Go ahead.
- 30:42Speaker 8: I'm sorry. That was not my point, sir.
- 30:44Speaker 4: Oh, sorry.
- 30:44Speaker 8: My point was they turned around and told Iran, enough
- 30:47Speaker 8: is enough. You bombed us. There was no reason for
- 30:50Speaker 8: you to bomb us. I mean, if you had just
- 30:52Speaker 8: bombed Americans that had been ours of another color... But
- 30:55Speaker 8: you bombed us personally. You want this money?
- 30:59Speaker 1: Bend.
- 31:00Speaker 2: I think the $ 24 billion actually were assets seized back
- 31:03Speaker 2: in the shop, Phil.
- 31:04Speaker 1: Yeah, it's their money.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Yeah, they've had it. That's like the money that Obama
- 31:08Speaker 2: gave them back. And there were two things there. I
- 31:11Speaker 2: don't think it was one. I think there was some
- 31:12Speaker 2: money he was secretly giving them. And then this $ 1. 8
- 31:15Speaker 2: billion he was returning of their assets.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I think I can explain it so this guy understands it.
- 31:19Speaker 1: I can explain it so you understand it when I
- 31:21Speaker 1: say it's their money. It's the equivalent of like when
- 31:24Speaker 1: your wife caller would go out and buy you a
- 31:26Speaker 1: Christmas gift using your charge card. You follow me? It
- 31:30Speaker 1: was like, here's your Christmas gift, but it was your
- 31:33Speaker 1: money that bought it. You just didn't know it. You see?
- 31:36Speaker 8: Oh, well, you see, that's the point. It was in
- 31:38Speaker 8: the fine print of our marriage license. I got married,
- 31:42Speaker 8: and it was written there in fine, fine print. It
- 31:45Speaker 8: was so fine, you couldn't put it under a telescope
- 31:47Speaker 8: to read it.
- 31:47Speaker 1: That your money is her money?
- 31:49Speaker 8: How did you get to be boss? And I got told, well,
- 31:53Speaker 8: you didn't read the fine print, did you?
- 31:55Speaker 1: Apparently not. Because as I understand it, I understand your
- 32:00Speaker 1: money is her money, and her money is her money.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Right?
- 32:04Speaker 1: I'm the boss.
- 32:05Speaker 8: As long as I do what's on the list that
- 32:07Speaker 8: you gave me once you walked out the door.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Absolutely. I they they say they'll give the 24 billion
- 32:15Speaker 1: back if Iran adheres to the deal. There's strings attached
- 32:19Speaker 1: to it.
- 32:19Speaker 4: Well, right.
- 32:19Speaker 2: And you've got to give them incentives. And so returning
- 32:21Speaker 2: their own money is not a bad thing if we
- 32:23Speaker 2: can get to a deal. But but the whole point
- 32:26Speaker 2: of this 300 billion, this is the part I really
- 32:27Speaker 2: like is this 300 billion.
- 32:29Speaker 1: How do you like this?
- 32:30Speaker 2: Well, because the way I think this is, I don't
- 32:32Speaker 2: believe this is Donald Trump getting the Fed to print
- 32:35Speaker 2: money so the Congress can write a check. to rebuild
- 32:38Speaker 2: iran to give them three hundred billion dollars they can
- 32:40Speaker 2: go play with as they wish that's not how this
- 32:42Speaker 2: is going to work taking a lesson from belton road
- 32:44Speaker 2: and from the imf and the way they do these
- 32:46Speaker 2: these you know country crippling deals they're they're going to
- 32:49Speaker 2: go in and and make targeted investments that'll be funded
- 32:52Speaker 2: by outsiders now who's better to do that than the
- 32:56Speaker 2: than the sunnis across the shiites across the way the
- 32:59Speaker 2: sunnis across the way who's better to do this than
- 33:02Speaker 2: the gulf coast countries who have plenty of cash need
- 33:06Speaker 2: that straight opened You know, Trump's trying to find a
- 33:09Speaker 2: way to bind Iran back into the world of, you know,
- 33:12Speaker 2: the community of nations, right? This gives people a reason
- 33:15Speaker 2: to invest in it. They're going to have to meet requirements.
- 33:18Speaker 2: It's going to happen over time. Three hundred billion into
- 33:21Speaker 2: that country is a fair bit of money. Now, our Congress,
- 33:24Speaker 2: they'll just burn that in the afternoon.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Isn't that, though, for it to rebuild, Orion, though, the
- 33:28Speaker 1: three hundred billion?
- 33:28Speaker 2: Yes, but it'll be to rebuild, which means it's going
- 33:31Speaker 2: to take time. It's going to have to be targeted investments.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Unless he just throws this to the wind and says, oh, no,
- 33:37Speaker 2: I'm just giving them three hundred billion in cash. They
- 33:39Speaker 2: can do whatever they want with it. I just don't
- 33:40Speaker 2: see Trump doing that. That would be un-Trumpian.
- 33:45Speaker 8: On the other part, though. granted, they're going to say
- 33:49Speaker 8: they're going to use that to rebuild their country, help
- 33:51Speaker 8: their country out. And that's what Obama did. And we're
- 33:55Speaker 8: back to the Obama plan, but a little bit more
- 33:58Speaker 8: added to it, I guess.
- 33:59Speaker 7: No, no, no, no.
- 34:00Speaker 2: What Obama did was ship them pallets of cash. He
- 34:02Speaker 2: just released cash to them to be used for any purpose.
- 34:05Speaker 1: That was their money.
- 34:06Speaker 8: Well, their money plus interest.
- 34:14Speaker 2: But then they were free to ship that money out
- 34:16Speaker 2: to anybody they wanted, use it for any purpose they wanted,
- 34:18Speaker 2: buy weapons, make investments, or buy weapons. They were able
- 34:22Speaker 2: to use it for Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah. So what
- 34:26Speaker 2: Obama did was he gave energy and money and resources
- 34:31Speaker 2: to the terrorist machine that he liked, that was going
- 34:34Speaker 2: to continue to disrupt the region. I don't believe that's
- 34:38Speaker 2: what this is. I know that's what we're all assuming.
- 34:41Speaker 2: It's not what the words we're seeing right now are saying,
- 34:43Speaker 2: and I don't think that's where it ends up. So
- 34:45Speaker 2: you want an investment that's going to take time, meaning
- 34:47Speaker 2: they have to comply over time. You want it to
- 34:49Speaker 2: be something that's a targeted investment, not just cash that
- 34:52Speaker 2: can flow out to anybody with an AK-47 and a
- 34:55Speaker 2: shoulder-fired rocket. That's where this begins to be a productive
- 35:00Speaker 2: use of $ 300 billion. And those Gulf Coast countries can
- 35:03Speaker 2: make that investment and never miss the money.
- 35:05Speaker 8: Okay, so they get that $ 300 billion and then they
- 35:08Speaker 8: turn right around and say, we're going to do this,
- 35:10Speaker 8: we're going to do that, but we're going to spend
- 35:12Speaker 8: a million dollars on armaments. Russia, China, you know, and
- 35:18Speaker 8: they'll hide it there somewhere to get it there.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Think of it like Belt and Road. The way, you know,
- 35:25Speaker 2: when China comes in and says, we're going to give
- 35:26Speaker 2: you a billion and a half dollars, they don't write
- 35:29Speaker 2: a check. They say, okay, first you have to take
- 35:31Speaker 2: 250,000 Chinese guys and they move them into whatever country.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Then they say, okay, we're going to buy your concrete,
- 35:36Speaker 2: your rebar, and we're going to build your bridge. As
- 35:38Speaker 2: you know from the bridge down in Panama, sometimes there
- 35:41Speaker 2: are no roads to those bridges. They're literally bridges to nowhere.
- 35:45Speaker 2: But they're going to invest in specific infrastructure because that's
- 35:48Speaker 2: what they want. Now they go in and they build
- 35:49Speaker 2: ports for countries and they build other things for countries
- 35:51Speaker 2: that those countries need because that binds them to the
- 35:54Speaker 2: countries over the long term and they implant their own
- 35:57Speaker 2: people there. There won't be, I don't think, a personnel
- 35:59Speaker 2: element to this. But I think this will be targeted investments,
- 36:03Speaker 2: not just cash that could be used to go out
- 36:04Speaker 2: and buy materiel.
- 36:05Speaker 1: All right. But the interesting thing, just as a side note,
- 36:10Speaker 1: I mean, I was looking into this where Obama sent
- 36:14Speaker 1: this plane load of cash.
- 36:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 36:15Speaker 1: And he had to go to– I mean, the government
- 36:17Speaker 1: went to all of these banks in Virginia and everything
- 36:19Speaker 1: and took all the cash.
- 36:20Speaker 2: And went to Switzerland and transferred it into non-dollars.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Yeah, they had to go round up this cash. They
- 36:26Speaker 1: couldn't do an electronic transfer.
- 36:27Speaker 2: No, and they had to get it out of U.S. currency,
- 36:29Speaker 2: so they put it into pallets, at least for that cash.
- 36:32Speaker 1: But they had to go to local banks and everything
- 36:34Speaker 1: to get the money.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:36Speaker 8: I'm still saying there's going to be a way they
- 36:37Speaker 8: can hide it and do what they still wanted as
- 36:39Speaker 8: they did before.
- 36:40Speaker 13: All right.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend.
- 36:42Speaker 9: I'll be back. 570 WKBN.
- 36:47Speaker 7: All right.
- 36:47Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN. You're on the air.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Gentlemen, good afternoon.
- 36:53Speaker 12: Always an encouraging day when Frank from Fort Lauderdale gets
- 36:57Speaker 12: on with the anti-Semitism. I always enjoy that.
- 36:59Speaker 1: Oh, no, knock it off. Okay, go ahead.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Well, I would accept that it's true.
- 37:05Speaker 12: I mean, I don't call people things if it's not deserving,
- 37:08Speaker 12: but he definitely has a problem with the Jewish people.
- 37:12Speaker 12: And as far as stocks being so much on sale
- 37:16Speaker 12: today and he's making so much money, Right now, they're
- 37:20Speaker 12: still higher than they closed out Monday. So I don't
- 37:22Speaker 12: know what kind of a financial guru this guy is,
- 37:24Speaker 12: but it's not like the market crashed today. It's down
- 37:27Speaker 12: about eight-tenths of a percent.
- 37:30Speaker 1: It's down, you know, 500 points on the Dow is significant.
- 37:33Speaker 1: S & P is down 91. NASDAQ is down 355.
- 37:37Speaker 1: I mean, when it's talking a major down day, I mean,
- 37:42Speaker 1: everything's in the red as I'm looking.
- 37:44Speaker 12: A 1% move is not a crash. Okay. 1928 was
- 37:48Speaker 12: a crash. 1% on a daily basis is nothing to
- 37:54Speaker 12: get excited about.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Stand by. Hang on, Rich. Hang on. We're coming back
- 37:57Speaker 1: after the break at 4. Rich, a pharmacist and more
- 38:00Speaker 1: straight ahead.
- 38:04Speaker 11: From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen.
- 38:07Speaker 13: The U.S.
- 38:08Speaker 11: Offering details of the Memo of Understanding between the U.S.
- 38:11Speaker 11: and Iran, now set to be signed Friday in Geneva...
- 38:14Speaker 11: The proposal includes a 60-day ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon,
- 38:19Speaker 11: so talks can resume and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- 38:22Speaker 11: and also finalizing a nuclear deal. ABC's Jonathan Karl says
- 38:26Speaker 11: Iran could also get key sanctions lifted.
- 38:28Speaker 14: The single most important sanctions were the sanctions that denied
- 38:33Speaker 14: Iran the ability to sell its oil on the international market. Now,
- 38:37Speaker 14: they did sell their oil anyway through shadow fleet on
- 38:42Speaker 14: the black market, but this cost Iran dearly. Now, immediately
- 38:46Speaker 14: upon signing this, They have access to international oil markets,
- 38:50Speaker 14: something they have not had for many years under many
- 38:53Speaker 14: different U.S.
- 38:54Speaker 4: Presidents.
- 38:55Speaker 11: At the G7 summit, President Trump says if Iran behaves,
- 38:58Speaker 11: they can get access to frozen funds. After federal authorities
- 39:01Speaker 11: disrupted an alleged drone attack at Sunday's UFC event at
- 39:05Speaker 11: the White House, the Justice Department now says it bolsters
- 39:08Speaker 11: the case for a secured White House ballroom.
- 39:11Speaker 1: The overnight filing to the D.C.
- 39:12Speaker 15: Circuit Appeals Court has the Justice Department arguing the plot
- 39:15Speaker 15: to attack the UFC fight with drones and snipers, is
- 39:18Speaker 15: exactly the kind of threat the Ballroom Project would protect against.
- 39:22Speaker 15: The Secret Service's deputy director has said despite the plot,
- 39:25Speaker 15: the UFC event was never at risk. But the Justice
- 39:28Speaker 15: Department says the plot underscore the need for a drone
- 39:31Speaker 15: port and sniper nests on the roof of the ballroom.
- 39:34Speaker 15: The appeals court is still weighing whether it will allow
- 39:36Speaker 15: a lower court's order blocking construction to take effect. Stephen Portnoy,
- 39:40Speaker 15: ABC News, Washington.
- 39:41Speaker 11: Dangerous storms targeting Midwest states today. The outbreak will include hail,
- 39:46Speaker 11: flash flooding, damaging winds, and possible tornadoes. Central Illinois and
- 39:50Speaker 11: Indiana facing the biggest threat. In the Gulf States, residents
- 39:54Speaker 11: already dealing with flooding, now bracing for Tropical Storm Arthur,
- 39:57Speaker 11: the first of the hurricane season, with life-threatening flash flooding.
- 40:01Speaker 12: Reported.
- 40:01Speaker 11: You're listening to ABC News.
- 40:04Speaker 1: We're back to it. It's 4.06 on a Wednesday afternoon,
- 40:08Speaker 1: June 17th. We're at 76 degrees on a beautiful Wednesday
- 40:12Speaker 1: afternoon on NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Ron Verbe, G2' s in the
- 40:16Speaker 1: studio with me today on this very newsworthy day. And
- 40:20Speaker 1: so let me see, Rich is out there. And let
- 40:23Speaker 1: me just ask you, Rich, what do you make of
- 40:25Speaker 1: this agreement?
- 40:26Speaker 12: Oh, I think, you know, if it holds, it's a
- 40:29Speaker 12: good way to get out of it. I think right
- 40:31Speaker 12: now we're at sort of a detente. But if I
- 40:35Speaker 12: could say one thing, I found something out interesting. Last Thursday,
- 40:38Speaker 12: I became a precinct committeeman out here in Beaver. And
- 40:42Speaker 12: I'm sitting there, and this guy comes over to me,
- 40:44Speaker 12: and he says, G2 says hi.
- 40:46Speaker 1: All right, well, that's a whole other story. Let's stay focused.
- 40:51Speaker 3: Well, I found out he grew up..
- 40:53Speaker 1: I don't want to get into any of this stuff,
- 40:56Speaker 1: all right? I don't want to get into it.
- 40:58Speaker 4: All right, all right.
- 40:59Speaker 1: So just go on.
- 41:00Speaker 4: Okay.
- 41:02Speaker 3: I think we're at a detente right now. Is it
- 41:05Speaker 3: going to be a great deal for us? No, it's
- 41:07Speaker 3: not going to be.
- 41:08Speaker 12: I think we're looking for any way we can get
- 41:11Speaker 12: out of this right now and still save face.
- 41:14Speaker 3: If you listen to J.D.
- 41:15Speaker 12: Vance running the circuit yesterday on the different TV shows
- 41:20Speaker 12: from The Viewed, I think he was on Gutfeld. He
- 41:23Speaker 12: was also on The Five, I think. And he basically said,
- 41:28Speaker 12: you know, they're going to get $ 300 billion, but it's
- 41:30Speaker 12: not going to be a dime of taxpayer money. And
- 41:33Speaker 12: they don't get it unless they meet certain benchmarks. Now,
- 41:37Speaker 12: my biggest question is how you're going to, you know,
- 41:40Speaker 12: monitor those benchmarks to make sure that they're hitting them,
- 41:42Speaker 12: they're not cheating or what have you, because they're the
- 41:44Speaker 12: world's biggest liars and cheaters. You know, do I think
- 41:49Speaker 12: starting this was a brilliant idea? No, I mean, I've
- 41:52Speaker 12: never advocated for starting this war. All I've said is,
- 41:56Speaker 12: once it's started, if you can defang Iran and get
- 42:00Speaker 12: them to be a little better actor in the Middle East,
- 42:02Speaker 12: it's not a bad thing. It's going to be a
- 42:04Speaker 12: good thing for the world in the end. You know,
- 42:07Speaker 12: I don't think anybody... You'd be hard-pressed other than, like,
- 42:10Speaker 12: Lindsey Graham and some of the right-wing neocons that are
- 42:13Speaker 12: war hawks. I don't think you'd find anybody that said, yeah,
- 42:16Speaker 12: we need to start this war in March because Iran
- 42:21Speaker 12: was going to nuke Columbus or something. That was never
- 42:23Speaker 12: going to happen.
- 42:24Speaker 3: No.
- 42:25Speaker 1: But..
- 42:25Speaker 12: In the end, if it works out and Iran is
- 42:28Speaker 12: a little weak, well, by any measure, Iran is going
- 42:31Speaker 12: to be much weaker, at least for the next five
- 42:33Speaker 12: to ten years, because it's going to take them that
- 42:35Speaker 12: long just to rebuild what we destroyed. And I don't
- 42:38Speaker 12: think that's a bad thing. That's all I've said ever
- 42:40Speaker 12: since this war came out. You're not going to get
- 42:43Speaker 12: me to defend starting it, because there probably wasn't really
- 42:46Speaker 12: a need to do it, to be honest with you.
- 42:49Speaker 2: Well, if you remember the early days..
- 42:50Speaker 12: We just have to monitor them.
- 42:51Speaker 2: If you remember the early days when they were talking
- 42:52Speaker 2: about having this prince, Pahlavi... go back in and become
- 42:57Speaker 2: the new supreme leader, the new ruler, the new Shah.
- 43:00Speaker 2: That was a silly pipe dream. The guy hasn't been
- 43:03Speaker 2: there in 47 years. He's got, of course, tremendous support
- 43:07Speaker 2: among the Iranian community that was exiled, but he wouldn't
- 43:10Speaker 2: be accepted in that country. So there have been a
- 43:12Speaker 2: lot of silly discussions along the way here. And again,
- 43:16Speaker 2: most discussions that we're having now are framed in the
- 43:18Speaker 2: construct of, I love Israel, I love Trump, I hate Trump,
- 43:23Speaker 2: or i'm really looking at the united states best interest
- 43:26Speaker 2: now that's last group that u.s group that's the smallest
- 43:28Speaker 2: group it seems they're not represented very well in media
- 43:31Speaker 2: certainly not on fox or cnn they're not represented very
- 43:34Speaker 2: well in the government i mean this fight between jd
- 43:36Speaker 2: vance and the the rest the cabinet you know mix
- 43:39Speaker 2: mix in it up and if you look now it
- 43:41Speaker 2: again look just go back and look at the picture
- 43:42Speaker 2: of howard letnick uh... stand behind trump he looks like
- 43:45Speaker 2: he looks he's just shooting daggers so you know he
- 43:48Speaker 2: you've got those folks all discombobulated, all working for their
- 43:52Speaker 2: own angle. And then you've got these pundits, whatever their
- 43:55Speaker 2: platform or expertise, that are framing this in terms of
- 43:59Speaker 2: their relationship with Trump or something. How about this? Let's
- 44:03Speaker 2: step back, take a breath, and just look at the facts.
- 44:06Speaker 2: Let's just take a look at it. Let's not assume,
- 44:09Speaker 2: for example, that $ 300 billion announced in this MOU means
- 44:13Speaker 2: that Let's say Saudi, the UAE, the United States are
- 44:16Speaker 2: going to give them $ 300 billion to go refresh their
- 44:18Speaker 2: drone and missile factories, to go restock their anti-aircraft equipment.
- 44:24Speaker 2: That would be stupid. So I don't think that's going
- 44:26Speaker 2: to happen. That is what Obama did. He just gave
- 44:29Speaker 2: them cash.
- 44:30Speaker 5: But remember, he just filed the cash over.
- 44:33Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 44:33Speaker 2: And so they could use it for any purpose, including
- 44:36Speaker 2: letting the Houthis harass the seas. But why would he
- 44:39Speaker 2: do that? Well, the same reason supported the Muslim Brotherhood
- 44:41Speaker 2: and the Arab Spring. That was his mission in life. Now,
- 44:46Speaker 2: that's not Trump's mission in life. And again, looking at
- 44:49Speaker 2: the way Donald Trump has done deals and think about
- 44:51Speaker 2: the Abraham Accords and other things that have been done,
- 44:53Speaker 2: what he did down in Venezuela, you know, alarming.
- 44:57Speaker 1: At first, right?
- 44:57Speaker 2: But pretty well executed. And look what's happening now. It's
- 45:00Speaker 2: going extremely well. Trump isn't the guy that's going to
- 45:03Speaker 2: run in there and just throw cash around so they
- 45:05Speaker 2: can go rearm and start attacking water and oil infrastructure
- 45:09Speaker 2: across the Middle East.
- 45:10Speaker 1: He's not going to do that.
- 45:11Speaker 2: So let's wait until we get the details and find
- 45:14Speaker 2: out what they are. When I read the language I
- 45:17Speaker 2: just saw, you know, the U.S. agrees to ensure financing
- 45:22Speaker 2: of at least $ 300 billion, I suspect it will be
- 45:24Speaker 2: much more, for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran.
- 45:28Speaker 2: That's financing. It's not $ 300 billion of cash to go
- 45:32Speaker 2: buy AK-47s and RPGs. So the $ 300 billion to me
- 45:39Speaker 2: is the actual... big thing right that that's the the
- 45:42Speaker 2: hook that gives them a reason to come back into
- 45:44Speaker 2: the the you know the community a bit to stop
- 45:47Speaker 2: being constantly disruptive because they have a chance to get
- 45:50Speaker 2: real infrastructure investment that they desperately need everybody knows tehran's
- 45:54Speaker 2: running out of water right they may have to move
- 45:56Speaker 2: the city right they may have to move the city
- 45:59Speaker 2: but if they move it they got to move it
- 46:00Speaker 2: to somewhere with water there is infrastructure investment that's desperately
- 46:04Speaker 2: needed in a country that spent 47 years under incredibly
- 46:08Speaker 2: harsh sanctions it's only relief was obama so i think
- 46:13Speaker 2: that uh... i think this three hundred billion may be
- 46:15Speaker 2: the key to hooking them and taking this from an
- 46:18Speaker 2: m o u which is a good point along the
- 46:21Speaker 2: path to a deal from an m o u to
- 46:24Speaker 2: an actual full executed deal that could be successful now
- 46:27Speaker 2: if that doesn't happen if it just can't happen or
- 46:29Speaker 2: israel won't allow it so they keep bombing killing lebanese
- 46:32Speaker 2: you know the the iranians uh... start bombing killing people
- 46:36Speaker 2: in i don't know kuwait If that's what happens, well,
- 46:40Speaker 2: then this is going to turn back into a war,
- 46:42Speaker 2: and it's going to be hot. Now, how hot? Well, again,
- 46:46Speaker 2: we know we're not going to deploy forces into the country.
- 46:49Speaker 2: We're not going to deploy ground forces. I don't think
- 46:50Speaker 2: anybody thinks Trump is going to do that. So what
- 46:53Speaker 2: are you looking at? Well, you're looking at MOABs. You're
- 46:56Speaker 2: looking at all the bunker buster types, wherever those are needed.
- 47:00Speaker 2: You're looking at regular bombs. At some point, you're looking
- 47:03Speaker 2: at bigger weapons, and we just don't ever want to
- 47:07Speaker 2: get there. So I think that it is not one
- 47:11Speaker 2: party has an interest in ending this and the other
- 47:13Speaker 2: party thinks it's a great idea to keep this going
- 47:16Speaker 2: at the loss of $ 400 billion a day. I think
- 47:18Speaker 2: both sides have an interest in getting to a deal.
- 47:22Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's naive about what Iran's nature is
- 47:25Speaker 2: and how they negotiate and how things work. I don't
- 47:27Speaker 2: think anybody's naive about that. But at some point, we
- 47:31Speaker 2: either have to make the decision that we're going to
- 47:32Speaker 2: obliterate that nation or we're going to come to a deal.
- 47:35Speaker 1: There's no middle ground.
- 47:38Speaker 2: My question for you.
- 47:39Speaker 3: Is this, though.
- 47:41Speaker 12: In light of everything that's happened, I think what this
- 47:44Speaker 12: last three, four months has shown us is we thought
- 47:47Speaker 12: we had friends in the world, and when we needed
- 47:50Speaker 12: these friends to step up and maybe help us keep
- 47:53Speaker 12: the straight open and stuff like that, none of them
- 47:54Speaker 12: could be bothered. We didn't even need the oil from
- 47:57Speaker 12: over there. Most of our oil is here in Canada.
- 48:00Speaker 12: We produce enough in this hemisphere to more than survive.
- 48:04Speaker 12: The people that did need the oil were the Asian
- 48:06Speaker 12: countries and Europe.
- 48:08Speaker 2: Right.
- 48:08Speaker 3: And none of them, none of them lifted a finger
- 48:11Speaker 3: to help us out during this whole conflict.
- 48:13Speaker 2: Well, but we don't know.
- 48:14Speaker 3: So the lesson that I take from this is I
- 48:16Speaker 3: think it's time to tell NATO, you know, we're going
- 48:19Speaker 3: to give you three or four years, and we're basically
- 48:22Speaker 3: pulling out of Europe. We'll leave a shell force there.
- 48:25Speaker 2: I'd give NATO three or four minutes. But your point
- 48:29Speaker 2: is right, but it doesn't mean that they're not behind
- 48:31Speaker 2: the scenes right now applying whatever pressure they have Because
- 48:34Speaker 2: the economies of Europe have certain structural problems since the
- 48:38Speaker 2: globalists decided to basically undermine their own countries. So you've
- 48:41Speaker 2: got problems there. China is running, its TikTok is running
- 48:45Speaker 2: out on this reserve it has. So they've got to
- 48:49Speaker 2: be raising the pressure that they're enforcing to get this
- 48:53Speaker 2: deal done. There was a reason Trump went to China.
- 48:55Speaker 2: We don't know what happened there. But there was a
- 48:58Speaker 2: reason he went there, and the timing was oddly predating
- 49:03Speaker 2: this MOU. So I think that we could be seeing
- 49:07Speaker 2: tremendous help from other countries that will never be visible
- 49:11Speaker 2: putting pressure on Iran, telling them, you've got to agree.
- 49:14Speaker 2: We'll see. And if not, unleash the beasts of war.
- 49:17Speaker 4: Right.
- 49:20Speaker 12: Hate to see that.
- 49:21Speaker 3: I don't want to see any..
- 49:22Speaker 12: I'm tired of our boys going overseas and dying for
- 49:25Speaker 12: other countries. And I would have no problem with us
- 49:29Speaker 12: just pulling our troops out of most of the rest
- 49:31Speaker 12: of the world, build Fortress America, and call it a day.
- 49:33Speaker 12: I know isolationism is not a good thing historically, but
- 49:36Speaker 12: maybe it's time to give it another try.
- 49:38Speaker 2: Well, it's a point, but remember, in our lifetimes, we
- 49:42Speaker 2: have had U.S. forces all over the world. None of
- 49:45Speaker 2: us know what the world would be like in the
- 49:47Speaker 2: absence of significant U.S. presence overseas. Now, we look at
- 49:50Speaker 2: somebody like this, Victoria Newland, and all these lunatics and
- 49:53Speaker 2: what they did in the Donbass and all these bio
- 49:56Speaker 2: labs they did around the world.
- 49:57Speaker 1: We're saying, you know, this seems to have gotten a
- 49:58Speaker 1: little out of control.
- 50:00Speaker 2: They've used our money and our name to do things
- 50:02Speaker 2: that they probably shouldn't have done. But it doesn't necessarily
- 50:05Speaker 2: mean that just because Victoria Nuland has a bloodlust, we
- 50:08Speaker 2: have to go off and withdraw from everything. And there's
- 50:11Speaker 2: no question that in many ways we've been a stabilizing force.
- 50:14Speaker 2: And so I'm not so sure that we need to
- 50:19Speaker 2: just withdraw to Fortress America. I think maybe we need
- 50:22Speaker 2: to remain engaged, but we need to do it in
- 50:26Speaker 2: a smarter way that is more aligned with the interests
- 50:28Speaker 2: of the American people and less aligned with the interests
- 50:30Speaker 2: of these globalist lunatics who control our government. And that is,
- 50:34Speaker 2: you know, you look at the Department of State. You
- 50:36Speaker 2: think those are patriots? Look what they've done. You know,
- 50:39Speaker 2: where's this $ 40 trillion gone? We have an extraordinarily corrupted government. And,
- 50:45Speaker 2: you know, Trump has not been very effective at calling
- 50:48Speaker 2: that swamp.
- 50:49Speaker 1: He just hasn't been. Look what I'm with Doge.
- 50:51Speaker 2: We got almost no cuts. What, $ 9 billion out.
- 50:54Speaker 1: Of $ 2 trillion?
- 50:55Speaker 2: You know, that's nothing. So I think that we've got
- 51:00Speaker 2: a lot of problems, but it doesn't necessarily mean we
- 51:02Speaker 2: chucked the system. If we can fix it, let's fix it.
- 51:05Speaker 2: If we can't fix it, it's going to melt down,
- 51:07Speaker 2: and we're going to end up not just with wars
- 51:08Speaker 2: in Iran. We're going to end up with problems in
- 51:10Speaker 2: this country that look like what we're seeing in parts
- 51:13Speaker 2: of Ireland and parts of Europe, where we're losing our
- 51:16Speaker 2: own nation, and we're going to basically be fighting in
- 51:18Speaker 2: the streets.
- 51:20Speaker 12: Well, the debt in the whole world, not just us,
- 51:23Speaker 12: but even the rest of the world, is alarming. If
- 51:25Speaker 12: there's ever going to be a black swan event, that's
- 51:27Speaker 12: probably it.
- 51:30Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, Rich. Appreciate it. You're on the air.
- 51:34Speaker 13: Yes, hi, Ron G2. How are you guys doing?
- 51:37Speaker 2: Great.
- 51:38Speaker 13: I'm happy today. I'm happy that we have a deal,
- 51:41Speaker 13: and my dislike of Trump has subsided.
- 51:46Speaker 1: It's not a deal. It's a memorandum of understanding.
- 51:49Speaker 3: Right.
- 51:49Speaker 13: I think Trump is beginning to turn around the super
- 51:53Speaker 13: tanker U.S., and it takes time, but I have a
- 51:56Speaker 13: lot of confidence in Trump, and unlike Frank, I'm very
- 52:00Speaker 13: bullish on the market. And as I agree with Rich,
- 52:04Speaker 13: it's only down 1% today. And if it goes down 5%,
- 52:09Speaker 13: it won't concern me. If it goes down 20%, you
- 52:12Speaker 13: get into correction territory. Then it might get my attention.
- 52:17Speaker 13: But getting back to Frank, he said he bought stock today.
- 52:22Speaker 13: What he wanted to do, he should have taken advantage
- 52:25Speaker 13: yesterday of options on SpaceX and The first day of
- 52:30Speaker 13: trading options on an IPO presents enormous opportunities, and I'm
- 52:35Speaker 13: thrilled with the trades I made yesterday. I took advantage
- 52:39Speaker 13: of the opportunities. And as far as shorting stocks, he
- 52:44Speaker 13: was talking about shorting stocks. I haven't shorted a stock
- 52:47Speaker 13: for 20 years. It's a dangerous proposition unless you have
- 52:51Speaker 13: inside information, and then you're responsible for... paying the dividends
- 52:57Speaker 13: on that stock from the person who you borrowed it
- 52:59Speaker 13: from and other fees. It just didn't work out for me,
- 53:03Speaker 13: so I haven't done that in 20 years. And I
- 53:07Speaker 13: have a quick question for G2 later, but one more thing.
- 53:11Speaker 13: You cannot short SpaceX. Unlike Frank saying you can, I
- 53:16Speaker 13: called my broker today, Schwab, and they're restricted from, since
- 53:23Speaker 13: they were involved in the IPO, a rollout restricted for
- 53:28Speaker 13: thirty days because of a conflict of interest in taking
- 53:32Speaker 13: part in shorting shorting that uh... that stalk so you
- 53:36Speaker 13: can't it's non-marginal so i think frank was wrong on
- 53:40Speaker 13: that point and like i say it's a bad it's
- 53:44Speaker 13: a bad idea to short stocks anyway i'm very bullish
- 53:48Speaker 13: on the rest of the year on stocks i'm happy
- 53:50Speaker 13: today with the fed They could have raised rates today.
- 53:54Speaker 13: I'm happy that they held rates the same. And I
- 53:58Speaker 13: think we've got a good outlook going forward, and if
- 54:00Speaker 13: Trump doesn't make any more blunders. And one other quick point.
- 54:07Speaker 13: I'm heading down after this call to my favorite place
- 54:10Speaker 13: in Youngstown, the Jewish Community Center, so I'm not anti-Semitic.
- 54:14Speaker 13: I go there every day. So even though I knock
- 54:18Speaker 13: and I tell my Jewish friends... We have disagreements, but
- 54:22Speaker 13: not with you. You're my friends. I might have disagreements
- 54:25Speaker 13: with your government and NetYahu and how the policies are
- 54:30Speaker 13: going in Lebanon, but as far as the Jewish people,
- 54:34Speaker 13: I have no problem with them. So now my question
- 54:37Speaker 13: for G2. I don't know if you've heard about, on
- 54:40Speaker 13: the SpaceX, Elon Musk putting the data centers, or they
- 54:44Speaker 13: should be called computing centers, in outer space.
- 54:49Speaker 2: Of course, I know that they've got a prototype designed
- 54:51Speaker 2: for that. And, you know, obviously the cooling question is answered.
- 54:56Speaker 2: It would be interesting to see how they will convey
- 54:58Speaker 2: that data back down or the results back down to
- 55:02Speaker 2: the surface and how that's also going to transfer energy
- 55:06Speaker 2: down through microwaves and such. I mean, that is a
- 55:08Speaker 2: really quite a unique advanced next stage of technology. But
- 55:13Speaker 2: when it happens, or even when just we have the
- 55:16Speaker 2: normal advancement of of technology the way it's been advancing
- 55:20Speaker 2: since the dawn of this computer age, we may be
- 55:24Speaker 2: sitting on a real problem with these data centers, and
- 55:27Speaker 2: they could just be a nation burdened with white elephants
- 55:32Speaker 2: that are very expensive.
- 55:34Speaker 13: Do you think the data centers on Earth or the
- 55:36Speaker 13: data centers in orbit? On Earth.
- 55:38Speaker 2: I mean, if they get to putting them up in orbit,
- 55:42Speaker 2: those are going to be working, right? They may do
- 55:44Speaker 2: one and test it. They'll do another one and test it.
- 55:46Speaker 2: But if they ever go to mass use, you know,
- 55:49Speaker 2: significant scale use of data... You're right, it's not data centers.
- 55:54Speaker 2: They're computing centers. Computing centers in orbit. Well, they're going
- 55:57Speaker 2: to work. I'm not worried about that. And by the way,
- 55:59Speaker 2: they'll be owned by somebody else. But these data centers
- 56:03Speaker 2: that are being built in communities across the United States...
- 56:06Speaker 2: There's a risk with these.
- 56:07Speaker 1: Hold that thought. Hang on for a second, caller. Back
- 56:09Speaker 1: with G2. Ron Furb, NewsRadio 570, WKBN, here till night,
- 56:13Speaker 1: till 7.
- 56:13Speaker 9: NewsRadio 570, WKBN.
- 56:17Speaker 1: All right. Let's see. So, any other comments for the caller?
- 56:23Speaker 13: I guess we were talking about the data centers, and
- 56:26Speaker 13: I watched the interview with Musk and one of his
- 56:29Speaker 13: lead engineers, and they're confident that they said within 30 months,
- 56:34Speaker 13: we're going to have one up and running. and then
- 56:37Speaker 13: they're going to bring them to scale. And what I
- 56:39Speaker 13: found fascinating, you know who the lead engineer is on SpaceX?
- 56:43Speaker 16: No.
- 56:44Speaker 13: Elon Musk himself. Oh, yeah. I don't know how he
- 56:47Speaker 13: does all of this stuff. He's doing that, and he
- 56:50Speaker 13: works along with the other engineers, but it all comes
- 56:53Speaker 13: from that guy's brain. And it's fascinating. And like G2 said,
- 57:00Speaker 13: other people will... They're running the data centers now. The
- 57:04Speaker 13: one in Memphis, Tennessee, Anthropic is paying Musk $ 1. 5 billion
- 57:11Speaker 13: a month to use that computing center for their AI training,
- 57:15Speaker 13: their AI models. So he's generating revenues there.
- 57:19Speaker 1: But see, there's an important question there.
- 57:21Speaker 2: So you take a company like OpenAI or Anthropic, or
- 57:24Speaker 2: one of these trillion dollars, one of them is $ 1. 4
- 57:27Speaker 2: trillion theoretical valuation. Do they own the data centers? Do
- 57:31Speaker 2: they have a revenue model at any reasonable timeline that
- 57:34Speaker 2: will justify their valuations? These are questions for the companies.
- 57:37Speaker 2: But for the communities that are housing these data centers,
- 57:40Speaker 2: we've talked extensively about the energy draw, the water draw.
- 57:43Speaker 2: We've talked a little bit about the land. I went
- 57:45Speaker 2: by a data center site just yesterday. This beautiful black,
- 57:50Speaker 2: loamy soil that should be growing food that's been pushed
- 57:53Speaker 2: to the side because they're covering the site with gravel
- 57:55Speaker 2: and they're going to build a data center. How long
- 57:57Speaker 2: will that data center be there? really useful. It'll be
- 58:02Speaker 2: obsolete the day it starts, right? The day they build
- 58:04Speaker 2: it and turn it on, it will already be obsolete,
- 58:06Speaker 2: as is often the case. All right, so who owns it?
- 58:09Speaker 2: If it's owned by some LLC and not by the
- 58:12Speaker 2: Anthropix or OpenAIs or SpaceX, if it's owned by some
- 58:16Speaker 2: other company and they lease it to the OpenAIs, and
- 58:22Speaker 2: OpenAI doesn't need it anymore, at what point do those
- 58:24Speaker 2: payments cease? And what do you do with the data
- 58:27Speaker 2: center that's left behind? So I think this financing, the
- 58:30Speaker 2: ownership structure, any kind of guarantees, the length of the
- 58:34Speaker 2: leases for the company that's going to use the processing capacity,
- 58:38Speaker 2: and then the decommissioning. These are critical elements that these
- 58:40Speaker 2: communities have to know. And I wonder if the townships
- 58:44Speaker 2: and counties and even the states that are doing this
- 58:47Speaker 2: are thinking about those things. Because this is like the
- 58:49Speaker 2: gold rush. You've got to put a data center in
- 58:51Speaker 2: it where you've got a cornfield, some in the brownfields,
- 58:54Speaker 2: but most of them are going into farms. And then
- 58:56Speaker 2: you've got to destroy more farmland for the power supplies.
- 58:59Speaker 2: and so so where is this this long-term play how
- 59:03Speaker 2: is it structured these are questions that no one's answering
- 59:06Speaker 2: and when you ask the questions there's a one-word response.
- 59:09Speaker 5: China.
- 59:09Speaker 13: We'll see. No, the answer is we'll see. We'll find
- 59:13Speaker 13: out when it happens.
- 59:14Speaker 1: Right, right.
- 59:15Speaker 2: And then they say, no one knows. Do you want
- 59:17Speaker 2: to live in a world dominated by China? Wait a minute.
- 59:19Speaker 4: Hold on.
- 59:20Speaker 1: Let's put China to the side for a minute.
- 59:21Speaker 2: What is your demand profile for your data center in
- 59:25Speaker 2: 48 months? Is it really going to still be? used
- 59:28Speaker 2: are you going to be constantly upgrading it so that
- 59:30Speaker 2: never becomes obsolete what is this plan i think we
- 59:34Speaker 2: have to get these answers before these things are built
- 59:36Speaker 2: and become again the white elephants that the taxpayers then
- 59:40Speaker 2: have to take over and dismantle as Superfund sites effectively.
- 59:43Speaker 1: Or even as technology changes, right?
- 59:45Speaker 2: That's what I mean. The technology will obviously make it obsolete.
- 59:47Speaker 1: Whether they're in space or not.
- 59:49Speaker 2: Yeah, if they're up in space, they're not killing farmland.
- 59:51Speaker 2: Put them up in space. I'm okay with that.
- 59:53Speaker 1: But if they're still down here, the technology can change
- 59:55Speaker 1: and make them obsolete or small.
- 59:56Speaker 2: Absolutely. So if the technology changes, they are obsolete. Maybe
- 59:59Speaker 2: the water usage is dramatically lower. The electricity usage is lower.
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: So the cost structure is lower. Well, they're going to
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: build a new one, and the old one is going
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: to be sitting somewhere in some township, and everyone is
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: going to sit around and say, what do we do
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: with it? Well, are these single-purpose facilities? Can they be
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: repurposed or used as warehouses for other industry or manufacturing?
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Because they're built specifically for those data centers with the
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: cooling systems.
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: Cooling systems, power systems, and inside structure, lighting systems.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: All right. Thank you, my friends. Back with more after this.
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: Saturday 8 to noon.
- 1:00:28Speaker 9: News Radio 570 WKVN.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: 435 in the afternoon. News Radio 570 WKVN. Hello there.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: Ron Verb from the kingdom of Mahoning. I am 76 degrees.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: on this Wednesday afternoon here on Tiffany Boulevard in Boardman.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: G2 joins me in the studio. He snuck out of
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: his bunker, deep, deep underground and on this closed location.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: You feel safe?
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: I feel pretty safe here because of the bulletproof glass
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: and concrete barriers.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: And all the locked doors. Yeah. Well, you should feel safe.
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: All right. And onward we go here. We're talking about
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: the big Memorandum of Understanding. And we just know some
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: of the details today because I didn't get a chance
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: to watch Trump. And I just found it interesting, though,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: to look at Trump. And it's a little bit hoarse.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: And Lutnick's standing there almost like he's in a hostage video. Yes,
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking. And Rubio's standing there like, can
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: I go now?
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: Yeah, Rubio's thinking, I don't know, my financial backers aren't.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: Looking at me less likely for 28 now.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: And then you got Trump saying, okay, when it comes
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: to signature time, I'm not going to do it. I'm
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: sending J.D.
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: Vance.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: That gives me an outright.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: I think it's smart.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's the right guy to send.
- 1:01:48Speaker 11: J.D.
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: Vance is the right guy to send. And look, the
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: whole administration is riding on this thing.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: So if J.D.
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: Vance..
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Why do you think he did it now? Is he concerned?
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: Do you think he did this because he's concerned about
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: the midterms? He's concerned about inflation? He's concerned about the...
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: the polling and stuff i mean why do why now.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: I i think that trump has i think you remember
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: back when he said i better polling in israel than
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: i have in the united states yes i think he
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: thought that was somehow funny or cute or was endearing
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: or we'd be impressed i think he found out from
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: the reaction to that people's response was well that's because
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: you're serving israel interest more than ours and that's the
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: feeling a lot of people have now i know really
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: smart people who tell me that's not true that you
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: know trump is the man he's in total control everything's
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: playing out as he says it it will Fair enough. OK, fine.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: I mean, we all we all have our perspectives, but
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: he clearly is shifting and pivoting back to the American agenda. Well,
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: that's where Vance was at the beginning of this war
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: back in February. So, you know, you send Vance, the
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: guy who's there because he wants this war over and
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: he's going to negotiate on the Americans behalf. But I
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: definitely think that there is a bit of a pivot
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: happening right now, you know, And Trump is sort of
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: reorienting back to the issues that are important. Remember when
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: he attacked all those social media guys, all the report,
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: the Tuckers and all that, right?
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: Their numbers went up and his went down. I think
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: he knows that now.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: And I know, I know. Because he pays attention to it. Well,
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: I know for a fact that he was given a
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: lot of fake polling.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: I know that. I'm not guessing. So I know he
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: got a bunch of bad numbers. But at this point,
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: he can't ignore it anymore. He thought he was going
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: to put them out of business by calling them stupid
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: or whatever he called them. It didn't happen. Their numbers
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: got better. More people started listening. His numbers got worse
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: and reached really a desperately low number. So I think
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: he's kind of realized he's got to pivot back to
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: the American agenda.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: And inflation and oil prices. Which is all part of that, right?
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: And now oil today is down to, you know, under
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: $ 80 a barrel. Last time I looked, I think it was,
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: I think Brent was at 78.
- 1:03:46Speaker 17: I know.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: I filled up on the way into the station today.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: It was 50 cents a gallon.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: That would be, imagine the economic revival. That would kick off, right?
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: So, yeah, like right now, West Texas is 75-70. So,
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: you know, like the numbers are getting better. Obviously, the
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: oil markets think this MOU is a good idea or
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: has a chance of ending the– But he keeps.
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: Saying that if they don't adhere to it in 60 days,
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: we'll go back to bombing.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: And they know that's true because he's going to have
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: no choice. If they break this deal, if they screw
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: this up, he's going to have to go really– I mean,
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: it's not going to be the same kind of bombing.
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: He's going to get more aggressive, and Israel is going
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: to be unleashed, and then it's going to be civilian casualties.
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: With G2, you're on the air.
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: Hello.
- 1:04:28Speaker 7: Whoa, fellas. Interesting show.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: I'm sorry. First time caller, I assume?
- 1:04:35Speaker 7: Yeah. I'm calling from Matthew Buehler.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead. Oh, yes. Probably Rock Creek, Ohio.
- 1:04:41Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: What are the odds of you being in Rock Creek?
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Slim and none.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: G2..
- 1:04:52Speaker 7: You really came out firing, but I appreciate you keeping
- 1:04:56Speaker 7: the name calling down to a minimum. You know, only
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: a few don't like the country and traitors and crazy.
- 1:05:02Speaker 7: I appreciate that.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: What about me? I thought I came out firing, too.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: Wasn't I on fire?
- 1:05:11Speaker 9: Well, I'm not paying you no attention.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: So he came out firing, and for me it was
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: like a dribble.
- 1:05:18Speaker 7: Well, I was done with you when you talked about
- 1:05:21Speaker 7: you and your better half having a..
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: Memorandum of understanding.
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:05:26Speaker 7: Okay, well, that's just like I heard G2 say that...
- 1:05:31Speaker 7: Companies negotiate and this and that. That's what he's doing. Well, listen, man.
- 1:05:35Speaker 7: Companies don't throw bombs and kill each other. Right? So
- 1:05:39Speaker 7: you don't have an agreement with your better half.
- 1:05:41Speaker 5: She has a bomb and she will kill you.
- 1:05:43Speaker 7: I don't want to hear it. But I have to
- 1:05:48Speaker 7: get serious.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: I feel as though just after your comments, sir, that
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: my entire manhood was removed from me by your call.
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: I mean, it's totally... I'm transgendering with your call.
- 1:06:01Speaker 7: I don't know about G2, but I had two girls.
- 1:06:03Speaker 7: I lost mine, too, so get in line, man. What
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: I'm saying is..
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: Strip me of my man card right there.
- 1:06:15Speaker 7: I feel like you guys are trying to gaslight people.
- 1:06:19Speaker 7: Two things. The first thing is it's so typical Trump,
- 1:06:25Speaker 7: but you guys are so far into Trump, you won't
- 1:06:27Speaker 7: see it. Now, the president signed something virtually, okay? Then
- 1:06:35Speaker 7: he says, well, can't nobody see it till Friday. We're
- 1:06:42Speaker 7: going to have to have a ceremony. Whatever you want
- 1:06:44Speaker 7: to call it this Friday, whether it's an agreement or whatever, right?
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: On Juneteenth, incidentally, on Juneteenth.
- 1:06:52Speaker 7: Yeah, what did he do? What did he do? He
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: takes and leaks out stuff. and then people that support
- 1:07:00Speaker 7: him start going on Fox, you know, the Hannity's, start
- 1:07:04Speaker 7: going on talk radio, you know, like the Verbs, and
- 1:07:08Speaker 7: they defend him even before he shows up to sign it.
- 1:07:14Speaker 7: That is so typical Trump, but I'm used to that.
- 1:07:17Speaker 7: But what the thing that really kind of gets me,
- 1:07:21Speaker 7: and I, you know, I know you guys are some
- 1:07:23Speaker 7: good people, you know, and I'm, Like I said, G2,
- 1:07:26Speaker 7: you know a Democrat you can talk to, and I'm
- 1:07:28Speaker 7: going to listen to you after I say what I say. Now,
- 1:07:33Speaker 7: I hear people bragging, well, you know, whatever it is,
- 1:07:36Speaker 7: $ 360 million or whatever, you know, it's not going to
- 1:07:39Speaker 7: cost the American taxpayers a penny, right? And I have
- 1:07:45Speaker 7: to say, are you crazy? Didn't you see $ 5 a
- 1:07:53Speaker 7: gallon gas? Of course, when somebody called you and said
- 1:07:55Speaker 7: it wasn't $ 5. Have you been to the store and
- 1:07:59Speaker 7: bought a hamburger? It costs as much as minimum wage.
- 1:08:03Speaker 7: Have you been buying steaks? When he started this war,
- 1:08:07Speaker 7: he destroyed our economy. Please do not say it did
- 1:08:13Speaker 7: not cost the taxpayer. He spent $ 2 billion a day.
- 1:08:17Speaker 7: Who's going to replace that?
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: Us.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: You make an important point, although the inflation discussion, I
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: understand where you're at and it's where the zeitgeist is,
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: but inflation right now is below 2% if you look
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: at the real data. So that's a more complicated conversation.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: But you make a really important point. You know, in
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: 20 years of war, the United States taxpayer paid $ 0 because,
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: for whatever reasons, while the $ 40 trillion was being printed,
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: nobody saw much inflation until Biden got in there. And
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: so we went through all of those years of war,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: and while we lost about 15,000 people in that war,
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: which of course is a terrible tragedy. but by comparison
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: to something like Gettysburg, World War I, World War II, Vietnam,
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: these were incredibly low losses. And our country now is
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: 300 million or 340 million, depending on the start or
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: finish of this war. So back in World War I,
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: everybody knew somebody. Back in the Civil War, everybody knew somebody.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: In this war, people might have known someone who was
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: injured or lost a limb, but they survived. Not many
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: people knew somebody or lost a personal family member. So
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: we didn't really feel the cost of blood in these
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In treasure, we didn't feel
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: it at all because it all went on the credit
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: card and we didn't feel the inflation. This war in Iran,
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: because of the impact on oil, is the first war
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: that the American people had to pay a price for immediately.
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: and every day during the war and look at the
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: reaction suddenly when we're paying for it we don't like
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: more anymore and and so there actually is a benefit
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: to us in that we've had to pay more that
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: benefit is that we actually feel the impact we don't
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: feel it in in human loss because we've lost a
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: few soldiers and and sailors in certain ways and you
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: know but but it's been a right extraordinarily limited number
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: given the the scope of this fight but the But
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: as soon as we feel it in our pockets, suddenly
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: we all want this war over. It's very unpopular and
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: it has to end. If the price of gas hadn't
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: gone up, if the price of diesel hadn't gone up,
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: if this oil price hadn't gone up, we'd be sitting
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: back with most Americans saying, oh, look, another video game.
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: They're having a war somewhere overseas.
- 1:10:30Speaker 7: What's wrong with that? Why do I have to get
- 1:10:32Speaker 7: hit in the head with a two-by-four? Now go ahead.
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because if we don't get hit in the
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: head with a two-by-four, we don't react.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: Isn't that kind of stupid?
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: Exactly. It's exactly right.
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: We allowed these wars to go for 20 years and
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: never took a hard look at why. Then we find out, oh,
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: the weapons of mass destruction was a lie. We find
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: out Iraq won. The whole basis of that Kuwaiti.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: Thing was a lie.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: We find out that in Afghanistan we send in U.S.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: forces to go find bin Laden. He's sitting in Iran.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: You know, and then eventually in Pakistan, all a lie.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: And so we never really had to take a hard
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: look at it because we didn't feel the cost.
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: We had some cool movies.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: We had, you know, lots of towers, tunnels, things that
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: we could do to try to help those that came
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: back injured. But we didn't really feel it this war
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: we felt day one. And it wasn't very popular.
- 1:11:20Speaker 7: I appreciate what you said, right? We've got to disagree
- 1:11:23Speaker 7: on this one, man, because I'm telling you, I ain't
- 1:11:25Speaker 7: liking it. You have a nice day.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: Well, I'm not liking it.
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: But I can see the difference in public opinion when
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: the public has to actually pay the cost, in whatever way,
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: for the wars we wage.
- 1:11:36Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: All right, thank you. You're on the air.
- 1:11:39Speaker 5: Hey, I don't understand you guys. I wish you would
- 1:11:43Speaker 5: just read the order of the deal, and liberalism is
- 1:11:47Speaker 5: a mental disorder, so these people that call you get it.
- 1:11:50Speaker 5: They're a mental disorder. All right, what I'm saying is,
- 1:11:53Speaker 5: If you read what I read, the way Trump works,
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: he shoots for the stars, he bags the eagle, and
- 1:11:59Speaker 5: he doesn't eat crow. So, you know, when he went
- 1:12:02Speaker 5: after all this, he wanted everything. Just like when he
- 1:12:05Speaker 5: does his bill, he wants everything. Well, you know, Save
- 1:12:08Speaker 5: America Act and everything else. And if you understand Trump,
- 1:12:13Speaker 5: you wouldn't be complaining.
- 1:12:14Speaker 7: I mean, I know you.
- 1:12:16Speaker 5: Need a subject on your radio. And, you know, you
- 1:12:20Speaker 5: need these people calling in with stupid questions and stupid responses.
- 1:12:24Speaker 7: But, you know.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Listen, we save that for you.
- 1:12:29Speaker 5: He's brilliant, Ron. And, you know, I just feel bad
- 1:12:33Speaker 5: for you and other people that don't get it.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: But be specific then. So what is it you think
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: we're missing? What point did we make that you think
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: was just, Just smoke.
- 1:12:42Speaker 7: Okay, all right.
- 1:12:43Speaker 3: Let me be specific.
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: Everybody thinks Trump doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: Well, he does.
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: He knows every step of the way because, like, when
- 1:12:51Speaker 5: he works out a deal, he shoots with the eagle,
- 1:12:54Speaker 5: he wants everything, he bags a pheasant, and he doesn't
- 1:12:57Speaker 5: eat crow. And that's what he's doing with this deal,
- 1:12:59Speaker 5: with all the deals he's been doing.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: So you're saying you think going into this war was
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: a good idea?
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: Okay. All right, now here's my question for you. What
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: is your perspective on the situation in Lebanon? I mean,
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: are you okay with this? I mean, entire villages being
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: wiped out?
- 1:13:15Speaker 5: Trump chewed them out three times, GT.
- 1:13:18Speaker 7: Did you hear that?
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: Well, here's the question, then. Should we deploy forces to
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: Lebanon to defend the Christian villages that remain?
- 1:13:26Speaker 3: No.
- 1:13:26Speaker 5: No.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: No?
- 1:13:28Speaker 5: No, no, no. No boots on the ground. Let me
- 1:13:30Speaker 5: tell you what we can do, okay? Syria hates Hezbollah, okay?
- 1:13:36Speaker 5: We can make a deal with Syria to come in
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: and clean them out.
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: Well, but the Hezbollah thing, when you blow up a
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: building and say there might have been a Hezbollah person
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: in there, but you killed 700 people or 400 or 200.
- 1:13:47Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:13:49Speaker 5: I don't agree with Israel, Dad, 100% what you're saying.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: So how do we stop this deal? If they violate
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: this deal, what do we do? Do we just let
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: them take Lebanon?
- 1:13:59Speaker 4: No.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: How many more Christian villages have to be wiped out
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: in the name of Hezbollah?
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: Zero, sir.
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: Okay, so I agree with you on that. I think
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: you're dead right. This Lebanon thing was the sideshow we
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: weren't supposed to pay attention to, and it's got to
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: be stopped.
- 1:14:17Speaker 5: I have a lot of people that go to my
- 1:14:18Speaker 5: church here, St. Mary's, you know, where Ron doesn't want
- 1:14:21Speaker 5: to eat the food at the Maronite Festival coming up.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: I can't stand that Lebanese food.
- 1:14:26Speaker 7: Oh, it's great food.
- 1:14:27Speaker 5: Ron, shut up.
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: Don't talk like that. I've got to admit, Ron, I've
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: eaten a grape leaf now and again, and I like it.
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: Really?
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: Something's wrong with you.
- 1:14:37Speaker 5: Ron, let me tell you something. I understand your taste
- 1:14:41Speaker 5: of food is mashed potatoes and milk, okay?
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: I need gravy, though. Mashed potatoes and gravy.
- 1:14:49Speaker 7: No, no, milk.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: No, not milk.
- 1:14:52Speaker 5: Because you're Hungarian.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something. If you would give
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: up your Lebanese food, if you came over my house
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: and my wife made a roast beef dinner with roast beef, gravy,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: mashed potatoes, and corn, you would say after you tasted
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: that and tasted the gravy, the mashed potatoes, the corn,
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: and the roast beef, you would give up this kibbeh
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: and all that other garbage you're eating. You would give
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: it up. What are you talking about? You would give
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: it all up, Baba Ganoush. The Lebanese food would go
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: away just on that.
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: One meal alone.
- 1:15:26Speaker 7: One meal alone.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: If you would come over, which would be a nightmare
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: to me, for Thanksgiving and enjoy this turkey that she
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: makes that is so good with mashed potatoes, corn, gravy,
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: and her mother's stuffing recipe, you would give up all
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: your Lebanese food. Do you hear what I'm saying?
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's nice she does that after you call
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: a ball and chain for the last 30 minutes.
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: I'm telling you when you're telling me that I'm talking,
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: just because I won't eat that food that you tried
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: to force on me, and I said I can't.
- 1:15:53Speaker 5: By the way, I didn't force it on you.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: Yes, you were.
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: You came to the festival.
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: You were very intimidating to me. You were extremely intimidating.
- 1:16:01Speaker 5: I'm not intimidating.
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: Yes, you were very intimidating. You were smoking a cigarette,
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: flexing your arm.
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: Flexing arms, okay. And I had a pack of cigarettes
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: in my shirt.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: Yeah, rolled up in your shirt sleeve shirt, yeah. You
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: looked like Fonzie to me.
- 1:16:17Speaker 5: Fonzie, yeah, okay. Anyhow, intimidate. Listen.
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: Yes.
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: That food is the healthiest food to eat. It's MAGA food.
- 1:16:24Speaker 5: Make America healthy again.
- 1:16:26Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: I'm just saying. It's MAGA food. I'm saying you'd give
- 1:16:30Speaker 1: it all up for that roast beef dinner.
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now.
- 1:16:32Speaker 8: No, I wouldn't.
- 1:16:33Speaker 7: No, I wouldn't, Ron.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: I'll even throw in her meatloaf. I'll throw that in, too.
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: Listen, I like lamb.
- 1:16:38Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: Stand by, please. Stand by, please. Maybe instead of baba ghanoush,
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: I should have named them shish kebab. That sounds even better.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: Park Radio app, 570 WKBN. All right, Ron Furb with
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: G2 and Bubba Ganoush on the line. Do you have
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: any other thoughts to add to the program?
- 1:16:59Speaker 5: Well, no, not to end the program. You won't let
- 1:17:02Speaker 5: me talk. You keep on doing your dialogue.
- 1:17:04Speaker 7: For three hours.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: What is it that you want to contribute?
- 1:17:08Speaker 5: First of all, G2, the reason I want him to
- 1:17:12Speaker 5: go in and do that to these guys is because
- 1:17:16Speaker 5: They've been persecuting Christians and Lebanese and Americans, killing Americans
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: as well. And they have proxies in the United States.
- 1:17:27Speaker 5: And Ron doesn't get this, that they're a threat to
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: the United States because they've got proxies here.
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: You're talking Iran, right? You're talking Iran?
- 1:17:36Speaker 18: What?
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: Are you talking about Iran?
- 1:17:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:17:39Speaker 5: So I'm glad he went in there and pounced on them.
- 1:17:42Speaker 5: I mean, I want him to pounce a little bit more,
- 1:17:44Speaker 5: but I guess he cares about the 90 million people.
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: Okay, is that it?
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: No, that's not it. I like Lebanese food because it's
- 1:17:55Speaker 5: healthy for you, and it's good tasting, and hold on,
- 1:18:03Speaker 5: and it's inexpensive if you know how to make it.
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: I would rather eat Chinese food every day.
- 1:18:12Speaker 13: Really?
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: I'd rather have General Tso's chicken than anything Lebanese.
- 1:18:16Speaker 5: You mean with that cat meat?
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: No, that's a terrible thing to say. I would have
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: orange chicken first. You understand?
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: The thing about that Chinese, it comes with mao tai.
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: You could drink that mao tai, and that stuff will
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: put you in the hospital. I'd rather have chicken fried
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: rice than kibbe.
- 1:18:35Speaker 7: Really?
- 1:18:36Speaker 12: Yes.
- 1:18:38Speaker 5: That's not nice, Ron.
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: I'd rather have a chili dog.
- 1:18:43Speaker 5: How about milk and mashed potatoes?
- 1:18:45Speaker 3: Love it.
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: Thank you for your call.
- 1:18:48Speaker 5: That's what I thought.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: I think he's really upset if i slip him one
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: one a homemade for my wife roast beef dinner his
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: whole life would change Well, you know, it might. I
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: have to leave the house when she's cooking it because
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: I'm like a dog. You know what I mean? It's
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: like my tongue is out. It's like, oh, when's this
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: going to be done? You know, I have to go out.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: I have to go somewhere. That's like hanging around when
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: they're cooking Thanksgiving. Yes.
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: I'll be like, wait, I can't.
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: Eat it yet.
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: How long do I got to wait?
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: How much longer is this? I just saw pumpkin pie.
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: It's going down. Wait for who to come? Wait a minute.
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: No.
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: You know what I mean? At least I went to
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: his Lebanese Fest. You know, I mean.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: Which was, yeah.
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: You know, at least I was there. And you know
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: who else showed up? Emmanuel.
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: Oh, did he?
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. That had to be fun. It was. All right.
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: News Radio 570. Callers on the line, stand by.
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: 330-729-9977.
- 1:19:45Speaker 6: 330-729-9977.
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: Ron Furman from the Kingdom of Mahoning until 7 o'clock
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: tonight with our special guest. G2 with us as well
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: on this day. We'll come back.
- 1:20:00Speaker 19: From ABC News, I'm.
- 1:20:09Speaker 20: Lindsay Davis, anchor of Prime, streaming weeknights on ABC News Live.
- 1:20:13Speaker 20: New details surrounding the memo of understanding between U.S. and
- 1:20:16Speaker 20: Iran set to be signed Friday. The 14-point memo calls
- 1:20:20Speaker 20: for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. It
- 1:20:23Speaker 20: also reopens the Strait of Hormuz and begins talks on
- 1:20:26Speaker 20: Iran's nuclear program. ABC's Jonathan Karl says Iran would get
- 1:20:29Speaker 20: key sanctions lifted.
- 1:20:30Speaker 14: The single most important sanctions... were the sanctions that denied
- 1:20:35Speaker 14: Iran the ability to sell its oil on the international market. Now,
- 1:20:40Speaker 14: they did sell their oil anyway through shadow fleet on
- 1:20:44Speaker 14: the black market, but this cost Iran dearly. Now, immediately
- 1:20:48Speaker 14: upon signing this, they have access to international oil markets,
- 1:20:52Speaker 14: something they have not had for many years under many
- 1:20:56Speaker 14: different U.S.
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: Presidents.
- 1:20:57Speaker 20: President Trump warned if Iran does not behave, military strikes
- 1:21:00Speaker 20: could resume. The economic impact from the war is affecting
- 1:21:03Speaker 20: interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board voted to keep interest
- 1:21:06Speaker 20: rates unchanged, but signaled rate hikes could come later this year.
- 1:21:09Speaker 20: ABC's Elizabeth Schulze has more.
- 1:21:11Speaker 21: What we're looking at now is a drastically different outlook
- 1:21:15Speaker 21: for the Fed in that at the start of this
- 1:21:16Speaker 21: year and even at the last meeting, we were expecting
- 1:21:19Speaker 21: interest rate cuts. Well, now the possibility looks more likely
- 1:21:23Speaker 21: from many Fed officials. that it could be going higher.
- 1:21:25Speaker 20: In New York, a judge sentenced Gilgo Beach serial killer
- 1:21:28Speaker 20: Rex Hureman to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
- 1:21:32Speaker 20: The 62-year-old husband and father in a deal with prosecutors
- 1:21:35Speaker 20: pleaded guilty to the murders of eight women starting in
- 1:21:37Speaker 20: the 1990s, the majority of them sex workers. Their bodies
- 1:21:41Speaker 20: were not discovered until decades later. Along the Gulf Coast,
- 1:21:44Speaker 20: residents are bracing for Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named
- 1:21:48Speaker 20: storm of the hurricane season. Alert stretch from Texas to
- 1:21:51Speaker 20: Georgia with life-threatening flash flooding possible. In Louisiana, storm preps
- 1:21:57Speaker 20: are underway in Covington with homeowners and businesses filling sandbags
- 1:22:01Speaker 20: to protect from the flooding.
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: You're listening to ABC News. Hot WKBN. All right, back
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: to it. It's 5.06. It's a Wednesday, June 17th. It's
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: a beautiful day here. I'm Tiffany Boulevard in Boardman. Ron Verbe.
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: From the Kingdom of Mahoning, 76, gorgeous out there. In
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: his studio with me today on this day of the
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: memorandum of understanding. Some of the details are released, right?
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: Some of them, yeah. Wait a second, there you go.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: There we go, yeah. We've got some details, or at
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: least some outlines, some general terms.
- 1:22:36Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: And then we shall see where it goes. In 60
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: days he could go back to bombing.
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: Or 30 days, or 5 days.
- 1:22:43Speaker 1: And the market's down today, and it has nothing to
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: do with that at all. I'm surprised. The market is
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: down today because the new Fed chairman says they might
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: raise interest rates, which I think is surprising.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: So right now, of course, the market's closed. It's down
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: 73 points, so 0.97%, just about 1% on the S & P.
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: And oddly enough, on the same day, oil's down. Because usually,
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: of course, when oil's been going down, the market's been
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: picking up.
- 1:23:12Speaker 1: Yeah, normally oil goes down, the market goes up. But
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: it's all that Fed chairman and what he had to say.
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin.
- 1:23:17Speaker 6: Yep.
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: And look, we've got a lot to learn about how
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: this guy's going to work in this job. But I
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: can tell you that.
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: From people who knew him, he is very smart. He
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: is very reasonable.
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: I'm hoping that he doesn't take the traditional Fed chair role.
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: of trying to crash the economy any time a republican
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: takes over any kind of of good in good policies
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: implemented and support the expansion of government by by driving
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: rates down and pumping in liquidity when the government does
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: things that will inevitably crush economic activity.
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: All right with the run for the g two year
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: on the.
- 1:23:54Speaker 22: Air ron yes i gotta tell you know i agree
- 1:24:00Speaker 22: with public news you've got the power of the three-year-old.
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: You know, that's, I mean, hang on a second.
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
- 1:24:09Speaker 23: I know I'm supposed to be helping you.
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: I mean, for crying out loud, you're Italian. You're Italian.
- 1:24:16Speaker 23: I love all that food. I love the gravy.
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: I love it.
- 1:24:20Speaker 23: You haven't had good kibbe yet.
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: When I go to the Italian Fest or when I
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: go to the Italian, the food is wonderful. I partake
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: of all of it, whether it's pizza or spaghetti or
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: whatever that's available. I absolutely enjoy it. But when he
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: tried to get me on that.
- 1:24:37Speaker 23: I don't know.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: What do you mean? What do you mean here with him?
- 1:24:41Speaker 23: You need to try a little bit of lamb. You
- 1:24:45Speaker 23: need to retry, Kibbe, and your grape leaves. You need
- 1:24:50Speaker 23: to get some lamb over rice over in Newcastle.
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: I like grapes. One of them sticks. I like grapes.
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: I don't eat the leaves. I actually eat grapes.
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: The grapes are good, too.
- 1:25:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: But I got to admit, I used to think Kibbe
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: was cat food.
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: I had no idea.
- 1:25:06Speaker 22: It's so good with that garlic sauce.
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: G2, have you had.
- 1:25:10Speaker 23: It with the garlic sauce and the peppers?
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: I've had it, yes.
- 1:25:13Speaker 23: Oh, my God.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: So to help Ron's palate after the show, we'll go out,
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: we'll find some Cholula sauce, put it on some Schwebel's bread.
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: And we'll just try to spark a little palate. Or
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: I could just go out in a parking lot and
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: eat some of the plants that are out there. Yeah,
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: the leaves. Why don't I just eat something off the
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: tree like a giraffe? Oh, look at these grape leaves.
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: We'll cut something off the ghillie suit. Yeah, you know
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: what I mean? But you have an expansive palate, boss lady.
- 1:25:43Speaker 1: I mean, but you probably stick to your culture more
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: than anything.
- 1:25:46Speaker 23: I just made crab cakes today. And they were delicious.
- 1:25:51Speaker 23: You don't like crab either.
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:25:54Speaker 4: Yes.
- 1:25:55Speaker 13: I don't know.
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: You've got some food problems. I would watch my wife. Like,
- 1:26:00Speaker 1: she would get crab legs. And I would sit there
- 1:26:03Speaker 1: and I said, this is just too much work. You know,
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: you've got to get the meat out of there and
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: everything like that. And it was like performing surgery. Now,
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: she loves it. Well, the secret is you use that
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: fake pink stuff.
- 1:26:14Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:26:16Speaker 23: Crab cakes are great because it's lump crab meat. You
- 1:26:19Speaker 23: don't have to deal with all the shells. You just
- 1:26:21Speaker 23: buy the lump crab meat.
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: You make your crab cakes with that.
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: But when she has crab legs, you know what I'm
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: talking about. Here it is on the plate. And then
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: it's like you've got to get the meat out of there.
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: It's like you're performing surgery on something. Oh, it's hard work. And,
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: you know, any time you sit down, they give you tools.
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: You know you're in for a fight.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: The only thing I find more disgusting than that is lobster.
- 1:26:45Speaker 11: Oh, lobster's delicious.
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I look at that, and I say,
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: there's no way you're going to put that crustacean on
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: my plate and tell me, go ahead and have this.
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
- 1:26:57Speaker 23: It's absolutely delicious.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: Do you ever have snake?
- 1:26:59Speaker 4: No.
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: No.
- 1:27:01Speaker 13: I've had snake.
- 1:27:02Speaker 4: No.
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: Well, I haven't had that. I haven't had alligator.
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: I've had alligator.
- 1:27:05Speaker 23: Oh, alligator's delicious.
- 1:27:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want any of that stuff.
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: So, you know, there's a thing called five-step steak, right,
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: which if it bites you, you walk five steps, you're dead.
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: That's why the Chinese call it five-step steak. And in
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: the restaurants, some of the restaurants in China that serve steak.
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: The highest turnover is in the snake handler job.
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: The guy that's got to go out and get it.
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: Oh, I can imagine.
- 1:27:25Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: It's like, you know, they never make it out of
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: the kitchen.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: It's just like..
- 1:27:29Speaker 9: That's the worst job in town.
- 1:27:31Speaker 4: It is.
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: What do they call snails?
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: What's that?
- 1:27:33Speaker 5: Escargot.
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: Oh, I don't... Escargot. I don't eat escargot either.
- 1:27:40Speaker 23: That's the only thing I haven't really tried. I don't
- 1:27:42Speaker 23: like that.
- 1:27:43Speaker 5: I don't think I'd like it.
- 1:27:44Speaker 23: I probably would, but I just don't. For some reason,
- 1:27:46Speaker 23: I don't know what it is.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I don't understand your hostility toward
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: me today. I've embraced your culture. I've embraced spaghetti. I
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: love spaghetti.
- 1:27:57Speaker 5: Okay.
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: I love meatballs, spaghetti and meatballs.
- 1:27:59Speaker 23: There's more to Italian food.
- 1:28:00Speaker 7: Than spaghetti, though, Ron. You sound so basic.
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: I love pizza.
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: I'm telling you what I..
- 1:28:04Speaker 7: Okay, you're basic.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: I love the sausage and peppers down at the fireplace.
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: I love chicken parm. They said Italian chicken parm. That's good. Now,
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: my wife gets eggplant parm. That's a thing I'm not
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: going to ever do.
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that whole vegetarian thing. I shy away from it.
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: The hell is that? I've got to have something in there.
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: It looks like chicken parm, but it's not chicken parm.
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: I don't want it. You know, and that kind of stuff.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: But then again, you know, her husband's Puerto Rican, and
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: she eats a lot of Puerto Rican food.
- 1:28:37Speaker 5: Okay, I make it, too.
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: Really?
- 1:28:40Speaker 5: It's good.
- 1:28:40Speaker 23: You've got to try it.
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: I just, I don't know.
- 1:28:45Speaker 23: You're eating a potato. You're too white.
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: I guess I am. I plead guilty, Your Honor. I
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: plead absolutely guilty. You know what I mean? It's like.
- 1:28:55Speaker 23: No, I've got a question for G2, though.
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:28:56Speaker 23: Because I want to know, what did he think? about
- 1:29:00Speaker 23: the UFC fights on the White House lawn. Did you
- 1:29:03Speaker 23: watch them?
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: All right, so I will tell you that I've had
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: different observations here. At first I'm thinking, all right, fine,
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: who cares, right? I mean, it's a very Trump thing
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: to do. I know a lot of people were all
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: freaked out. I didn't much care. And then I watched them.
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: It was a great show.
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: I'm glad.
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: All the military there was great. And I don't watch
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: UFC on a regular basis. I've seen a couple things
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: over the years, but the fights were great. The fights
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: were really great. And, of course, we all know now
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: Teddy Roosevelt did the same thing. So it's all supposed
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: to be unprecedented and horrible. Look, you go back and
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: look at Biden's gay parade at Christmas and tell me
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: that you don't prefer the UFC.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: Well, if I had to choose the two, I.
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: Would prefer it. Look, as everybody knows, I mean, I
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: don't have anything against gay people.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: But when you look at the bizarre performances that they
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: were doing in the White House during the Biden years,
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: just to put it in your face that they want
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: to change all of it.
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: I was shocked.
- 1:29:57Speaker 3: Shocked.
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: But these fights were fun to watch. I didn't know
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: any of the fighters, but they were interesting. Joe Rogan,
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: of course, is fabulous at calling these games, these fights.
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: It was a great time. And there was a tremendous
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: military presence there, which I think was really kind of cool.
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: It was really good.
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: It really was. Now, that said..
- 1:30:17Speaker 23: The Marine Band?
- 1:30:18Speaker 22: Oh, my God.
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: Oh, the band.
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: And the woman, I don't know who the woman was
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: that was singing. I just didn't catch the details. But
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: there was a woman in a military uniform. She was delightful.
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: It was a great production.
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: I was stunned.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: I was absolutely stunned. The stage, the whole cage they built,
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: it was like 80 feet tall or something. It was incredible.
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: That was absolutely incredible.
- 1:30:39Speaker 7: I'm glad you said that.
- 1:30:40Speaker 23: I wondered how you thought, since I had Ron snubbing
- 1:30:42Speaker 23: his nose at me for a whole week about this.
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: Well, I was too.
- 1:30:47Speaker 23: And I knew that G2, if he watched it, he
- 1:30:50Speaker 23: would find it.
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: I had zero interest in this. Zero.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: And somebody said, hey, you want to take a look
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: at that?
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: I turned it on. I'm like, wow, that was fun.
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: So you went into it with a negative attitude and
- 1:30:59Speaker 1: came out with a positive attitude. I did. Absolutely.
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: I did.
- 1:31:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: See, I just think it's sacred ground. And I'm not
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: saying one deserves another. That to me is when I
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: want to see on the White House lawn pardoning Tom
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: the turkey at Thanksgiving. Well, you'll get that. That to
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: me is what sacred ground is for. Or the young
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: kids with the Easter egg hunt.
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: I liked in Trump's first term when he had the
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: young kid go out there and cut the grass and
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: he stood there and watched them and like slipped them
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: a five.
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: That was cool. I like that. The best kind of
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: child labor is kids cutting the grass for a little
- 1:31:31Speaker 1: dollar or two. And he gives them five bucks.
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: Hey, here's a fiver.
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: Thanks for showing up. Well, listen to the hostility I'm
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: getting today from the boss lady. I just had to
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: give it to you on those two things.
- 1:31:41Speaker 5: One, the talent, and two, this fight.
- 1:31:44Speaker 22: And you know what I loved about it the most, G2,
- 1:31:46Speaker 22: was that Men have been demasculinized for the last so many,
- 1:31:53Speaker 22: this was like.
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: Not so many years, I feel as though I've been
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: demasculinized on this phone call. I feel as though it
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: just happened to me over the last five minutes.
- 1:32:06Speaker 23: I loved it.
- 1:32:07Speaker 5: Oh, poor Vaughn.
- 1:32:09Speaker 23: All right, tomorrow I'll be nice.
- 1:32:11Speaker 22: If I call tomorrow, I'll be nice, but I had
- 1:32:13Speaker 22: to give you something today.
- 1:32:14Speaker 13: Oh, no.
- 1:32:15Speaker 7: You deserve it.
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: Forget it. More than likely, I'll stop at a store
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: and get a skirt on my way home. You know what?
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: Maybe some leggings. There you go.
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: Yeah, you would look great in Lululemon.
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: All of a sudden, after talking to you, that whole
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: transgender thing Biden had is starting to connect with me.
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:32:40Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness.
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: All right, guys. Thank you. That's the boss lady there.
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: She says, I need to expand my palate. Do you
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: eat lobster?
- 1:32:48Speaker 6: I do.
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: Not often.
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: You've been to a bunch of these weird countries, right?
- 1:32:52Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what. When you're sitting beside a
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: dirt road in the middle of Central Asia, you know,
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: eating what they call it lamb, I don't know what
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: it is, out of like a grill, like a little hibachi.
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: you know, you really, you really have no, you don't
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: know what it is, but it could be great. Or
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: you could spend the next three days laying on a floor,
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: you know?
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: So, I mean, you've ate some weird stuff in weird countries.
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: I ate something in China once. I, I still have
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: no idea what it was. And, and it, you know,
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: you ask.
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: What is this?
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: There was no one spoke English, but me, I was
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: walking down the street. I was walking down the street
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: in China one day. Cause I had some phone calls
- 1:33:28Speaker 2: to make. And it was in an industrial town, small town. Well,
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: Small town for China. And there's these 200 people that
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: are drinking crazy on the street corner like a little
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: street party. So I go by and I wave and
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: act like I don't understand what they're saying. They're calling
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: me over. I keep going because I'm like, there were
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: some real tensions between the U.S. and China at the time.
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: It was a dangerous time. When I checked into a hotel,
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: the State Department had them hand us a note saying,
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: get out of China now. Go anywhere you can go.
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: Get out of China.
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: We decided to stay.
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: Well, there you go. There's a good decision. This should
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: be a fun trip.
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: So I'm walking down the street in this town. I
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: didn't know it, but the host, let's say, that had
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: asked me to come had put out security teams looking
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: for me, couldn't find me. The last place they were
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: going to look is in the middle of the 200
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: drunk people. So I go out, and as I'm coming back,
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: they're now more drunk, and they call me over. I
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: go sit down, and we are having a great time, laughing.
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: Nobody speaks English. One guy had a word. Another woman
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: had a word. They'd say it once in a while.
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: drinking their local beer, which they're very proud of, and just,
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: you know, pounding this liquor. And then they start feeding
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: me this food from the grill. I've never seen anything
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: like it. I have no idea what that is, but
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: I know that the Chinese eat everything.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: So, you know, it— Did it taste good?
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good, and it was well-cooked, which was critical, right?
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: And so then this girl walks over, who's about 10
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: years old with her mother and father, and sits down
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: and speaks perfect English. Now, at this point, I've had
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: a little bit of this beer, you know, But I
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: spin around, I sit down next to her, and I say,
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: how are you? And she responds in perfect English, I'm fine,
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: how are you? I was the first native English-speaking person
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: she'd ever met. She learned to speak perfect English from
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: people in China who didn't speak English as their primary language.
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: It was the most, her parents are glowing, the whole
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: crowd's cheering. I'm the safest guy in China. But the
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: security teams were out looking for me, so I go
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: stumbling back like an hour later.
- 1:35:21Speaker 8: I'm drunk.
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: Are you okay? Never been better.
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: What's going on? Well, you know, some attorney said, we've
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: got to go find you. It was a fabulous time.
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: So that tells you sometimes the difference between the government
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: and the people. Now, that same trip, I was walking
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: down the street with some Chinese folks, and somebody saw
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: me in another car. you know, obvious American. It's not
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: like they say, could he be from Germany? Or maybe
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: he's Finnish.
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: You just, you don't look Chinese. No, no, the Chinese
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: look at me and go, oh, American. They look at
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: you and go, Bigfoot.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: A guy rides behind a bicycle and says, we should
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: kill these Americans right now. And so this Chinese guy
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: leans over and says, did you hear what he said?
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I have no idea what he said.
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: And he tells me, so I was like, well, maybe
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: we should, you know, steer to a new direction.
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: But I could tell you more of these stories that
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: go on a while, but.
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: It was absolutely delightful. And again, you start to see
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: the difference between the people of a country and the
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: government of their country. And these people were as kind
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: and welcoming. We had a great time. Even though there
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: was a really serious tension between the U.S. and China
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: at the time, it was delightful. It was a blast.
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: Really?
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: Yeah, it was fun.
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: And you felt safe? Oh, absolutely.
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: I felt totally safe.
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: What about in Vietnam?
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: Well, the people of Vietnam, in my experience, love Americans.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: And uh..
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: And you know like anywhere there's some basic fundamentals right
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: you'd be everybody wants to be treated.
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: With respect so let's start with that if you leave with.
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: That you got a chance to have a good time
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: almost anywhere and so so you know what i i
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: i walked through cornfields that were basically bomb craters but
- 1:36:53Speaker 2: you could tell they dropped about a five hundred bomb
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: bomb and they just planted corn down the slope across
- 1:36:58Speaker 2: the bottom of the other side You know, I saw
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: people that obviously had suffered the ravages of Agent Orange
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: and other chemical weapons because you saw deformations that in
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: no way resemble anything remotely normal. But the people of
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: Vietnam treated us extremely well. And this is before Vietnam
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: became a tourist place. So it was, you know, there
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: were a lot of people like me there. And, you know,
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: I was talking to a VC officer. who had spent
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: about 30 years in the jungle, and he was explaining
- 1:37:31Speaker 2: how he didn't know what money was. And he walks
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: into a bakery and says, I want these baked goods.
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: And they're like, okay, we need cash. He's like, he
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: had no idea. He'd spent his whole life in the jungle.
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: And the government provided everything because he was just a
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: fighter his whole life. And it was a fascinating discussion
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: with him because he was talking about the My Lai
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: Massacre at Maison Village. And he said, you know, you
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: think that what those soldiers did was bad?
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: Hold that thought. Back with G2 and some interesting stories
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: and more of your phone calls. Ron Furb from the
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: Kingdom of Money here tonight till 7.
- 1:38:01Speaker 9: News Radio 570 WKBN.
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: Ron Furb with G2. So you were telling a story.
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: So, you know, I'm talking to this VC officer at
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: the time, you know, who lived in the jungle his
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: whole life. And he says, you think this thing at
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: the Mylai massacre was bad, but at the Citadel, we
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: killed 3,000 of our own. and you know, it just prompted.
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: This conversation about the horrors of war.
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: And later, I was talking to a guy that had
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: been a South Vietnamese officer, and he had gone through
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: the camps. And it was interesting to watch how nervous
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: he was, how he wouldn't say a lot, but he
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: would lean in close and say things like, you know,
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: Just in your ear, the only you could hear. And,
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: you know, he still loved the United States and wished
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: he'd gotten out with some other folks. Now, roll forward.
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: I was in a major city a couple of weeks
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: ago with some people doing some things. And there's a
- 1:38:57Speaker 2: Vietnamese store next door. So, you know, I wander over
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: because they're looking out the window to see what everybody's doing.
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: So I walk over and I start talking to them. And,
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: of course, they'd come here later, not in like 76
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: or 80. They came after 86. In 86, the Vietnamese
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: economy changed. They came to the U.S.
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: In 92, which.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: Is pretty recent. And because I was in a major
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: Democrat center and they're all afraid to say anything because
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: they'll get harassed and they have a store so they'll
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: lose their business, they'll burn it down or anything. So
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: when I went in and they kind of got to know,
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: we had a conversation about Vietnam and they just started
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: gushing about how wonderful the United States is. Not the
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: first time I've had that experience with a Vietnamese who
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: had migrated to the U.S., Which is why I get
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: so frustrated that we let in these folks who say, well,
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: I'm not going to learn English. Well, I'm going to
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: make you adopt to me. I'm not going to assimilate.
- 1:39:50Speaker 1: The Elon Omars, even.
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: Elon Omar is a perfect example. These people that are
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: running a little store in a major U.S. city, making
- 1:39:58Speaker 2: some money, taking some risk.
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: Working their ass off.
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: Working really hard. You can look at them and see it.
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: And they are so much more patriotic than somebody like
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: Ilhan Omar, who's been elevated to the United States Congress
- 1:40:09Speaker 2: and sits there, hating this nation and working against it
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: every day. I'll take those Vietnamese over Ilhan Omar every day,
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: all day long.
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: Don't you find it refreshing when you hear about the
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: Japanese that are in Texas? And they say, this is incredible.
- 1:40:29Speaker 1: The portions, the barbecue, the gas station. I mean, the
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: people that are coming here from all these other countries
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: are just amazed at America and how great it is.
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: So about six years ago, I met a guy I
- 1:40:40Speaker 2: didn't know in Vietnam or anything. I just met him here.
- 1:40:43Speaker 1: And he's Vietnamese.
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: He came in in 76. So he was probably getting
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: shot at as he left. And he got here in 76.
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: He and his whole, watching what was happening in the
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: Biden administration, him and his community had sold their homes.
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: It was in North Dallas. Sold their homes, moved out
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: to a more rural area where they could see a
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: farm where they could buy beef. They had wells that
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: were getting their own water. They had generators so they
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: could power them because they said, we've lived through this
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: once and we're not doing it again. What's interesting is
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: because they had lived through the tyranny of Vietnam after 1975.
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: Because they'd lived through it, they'd seen their friends go
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: through the camps. They watched people escaping on these rickety
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: boats just to get out to try to live. They
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: saw that, so they value the United States at a
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: level that some of the folks born here don't. And
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: when they see what's being done to this country right now,
- 1:41:33Speaker 2: what the globalists are doing, what's happening in our schools,
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: what's happening to our children, what's happening in our government.
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: The hatred of it.
- 1:41:38Speaker 2: The hatred. The constant expansion of government. The constant intrusion
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: of regulations. Townships, counties, government, federal. You know, they are horrified. And,
- 1:41:48Speaker 2: you know, the guy looked me in the eye at
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: the end and said, I'm willing to fight. And I
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: think he was pretty serious. Not a young man. He's
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: ready to fight. So they moved to a rural area
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: where they had, you know, the ability to see who
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: was coming at them. They had a kill zone. They
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: had access to water and food that they knew they
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: could control. Because they were afraid. Well, because they were prepared.
- 1:42:05Speaker 2: They were preparing because they said, we're not living through
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: that again.
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: And they thought they saw similarities.
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: They saw a lot of similarities. And, you know, as
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: this guy's talking about the wonderment of the United States,
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: It made the hair on my neck stand. I mean,
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: it was just..
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: Like you currently are seeing with all these folks that
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: are in Texas and that kind of stuff. Well, it's
- 1:42:22Speaker 1: like talking to the folks from Cuba. I mean, the
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: Japanese just love the portions we have here in the
- 1:42:27Speaker 1: gas station. And this is amazing. And we should realize
- 1:42:31Speaker 1: what a great country this is.
- 1:42:32Speaker 2: Oh, we really should. And we should defend it as citizens.
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: And I don't mean... The wonder of Sam's Club when
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: you walk into it. It's astonishing. I mean, if you
- 1:42:40Speaker 1: think anything that you want. Back with G2. Some more
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: discussion calls coming up. We're here until 7. Ron Verb,
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570.
- 1:42:46Speaker 9: NewsRadio 570.
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: WKVN. Great Wednesday afternoon, June 17th, 75 degrees. G2 in
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: the studio. You were talking about how the Japanese in
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: Texas cleaned up the stadium.
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: Well, you know, when the New York Knicks won a
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: basketball game recently... the citizens of New York decided it
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: would be a good idea to go tear down five guys.
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: They went into restaurants and attacked them. They destroyed things.
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: They left trash all over their city. I don't understand.
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: They used to do this in Detroit all the time.
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: Every time a Detroit team wins something, they go burn
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: a bunch of houses. I don't understand why the reaction
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: to a sports team winning an event, winning a competition.
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: Is to go attack your city. But that's what they do.
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Japanese are leaving some venue recently. I think
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: it was a World Cup. And they've got trash bags
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: and they're picking up the garbage on their way out
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: because they cleaned up their mess. They didn't leave it.
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: You know, the cultural difference of that where we've become
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: a country where, again, you're going to attack a city.
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: Destroy a restaurant. You make a mess and somebody else should.
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: Clean it up.
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: Yeah, walk away, you know.
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: And after this mess in New York, the question I
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: had is, why aren't the citizens out cleaning up their streets? Well,
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: it's the government's responsibility. Go clean your streets. you know
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: the Japanese do that the cultural differences so significant and
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: I don't think II actually believe that this cultural degradation
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: that we have suffered is a long-term existential threat to
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: this country we cannot survive as a representative republic we
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: cannot survive as a free nation if the citizens don't
- 1:44:20Speaker 2: engage we cannot have nice things if we don't protect
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: nice things and we cannot survive if we allow our
- 1:44:27Speaker 2: politicians to continue to print money and no one ever
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: asks where it's going and and the citizens allow this
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: corruption to go so far that that uh... we become
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: economically unviable.
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: What are your impressions of some other countries you've been
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: to well you know it depends on where you go
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: i mean if you're thinking like europe you ever go
- 1:44:46Speaker 1: to germany will afford yeah this is germany has changed.
- 1:44:50Speaker 2: Before germany changed yeah i mean you know probably not
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: the most captivating food right then it's good but you
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: know sentai or vietnamese or italian right right not probably
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: most captivating but efficient clean everything works the people are
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: great uh... you know they always say inside every german
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: there's a policeman waiting to get out there some truth
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: in that.
- 1:45:13Speaker 4: Uh..
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: You know it's it's a great place to be and
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: when you're talking about technical issues i mean the genius
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: of the germans is obvious which is why the industrial
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: machine of germany is the sort of heartbeat of europe's
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: economy And as they now chip away at that and
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: weaken that, they weaken the entire union.
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: You think the globalists are destroying the– Oh, the globalists
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: are destroying– Germany, Ireland, Europe.
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: I mean this Pedro Sanchez down in Spain giving 800
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: or 500– 500– different numbers. 500 or 800,000 illegal aliens
- 1:45:45Speaker 2: legal papers so they could travel wherever they wish across
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: the union. So this guy in Spain decides to do
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: this crazy thing. And these people that could be, you know,
- 1:45:56Speaker 2: Hamas or Hezbollah suddenly appear again in where?
- 1:45:59Speaker 3: Sweden?
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: Finland?
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: In France? In Germany? This is insanity.
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: No one in their right mind would do that to
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: their country. You have to be corrupt. You have to
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: be a traitor to do that to your country.
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: Just as happened here.
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: The four years that our government said, we're going to
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: put down the border. We're going to help the cartels
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: traffic children.
- 1:46:18Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:46:18Speaker 2: Four years they did that.
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: That's treason.
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: And the people who voted for it and continue to
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: support it support treason.
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: Well, it's like when J.D. Vance was on The View
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: when I was watching some tidbits on that when they're
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: just attacking him. They didn't attack Biden when the border
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: was open and J.D. Vance was in when they were
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: trafficking all these children. No. They didn't attack that. They're
- 1:46:39Speaker 1: attacking him because they're going after these people and trying
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: to get them out of this country that came here illegally.
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: He's under attack for enforcing the law.
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: It's incredible. I just saw Hakeem Spartacus. What's his name?
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: Cory Glover.
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: Whatever his name is.
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: Spartacus.
- 1:46:55Speaker 5: Booker.
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: Cory Booker.
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: I just saw him on there explaining how these people
- 1:46:58Speaker 2: help our community. They're not a threat, and yet they're
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: being harassed. That's not who we are as a country.
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: You bet it is who we are as a country.
- 1:47:05Speaker 2: I don't just want the illegal aliens who are criminal,
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: violent offenders out of here to They all have to go.
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: And the reason is really simple. They're citizens of foreign
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: countries living here, working here illegally, in many cases voting
- 1:47:19Speaker 2: here illegally, and that's simply not appropriate. They have to go.
- 1:47:22Speaker 2: And when you look at 40 years of depressed wages,
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: when you look at the impact that's had on the
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: middle class, when you look at– we were talking this
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: morning about– the policies that that drove the father out
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: of the home in homes that are dependent on government
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: you know we always think of the black families and
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: that's a great society oh yeah you took you know
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: the the black children born out of wedlock went from
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: say forty percent to seventy five uh... you know the
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: caucasian community went something like i don't know twenty five
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: to sixty or something and the asians went from like
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: four to four and a half you know it it
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: did that they didn't change much.
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: The way the uh..
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: The government policies paid these families to be broken. And
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: there's a language difference that happened that I noticed, I
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: don't know if it's everywhere, but I noticed it in
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: one place, where adult men stopped saying, this is where
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: I live, this is my home. They started saying, where
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: are you staying now? Well, I'm staying over here. Where
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: are you staying? Oh, I stay over there. And shortly afterwards,
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: you started hearing the rise of the baby mama. Yeah,
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: you stayed over there for a while, you left a kid,
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: you moved on. Now you live over there, you left
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: a kid, you move on. And each of those kids
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: gets more money from the government. We created a situation
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: that destroyed that nuclear family design, that weakened the are
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: urban communities and now with fentanyl and so on heroin
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: we've done this in the in this in the rural
- 1:48:41Speaker 2: communities as well these are government policy specifically put in
- 1:48:45Speaker 2: place to destroy communities now you take these globalists that
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: are destroying europe dispersal of on their lane you know
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: this uh... guy mers in uh... in berlin you've got
- 1:48:54Speaker 2: mcconnell and his husband wife whatever it is in in
- 1:48:58Speaker 2: paris you know you've got this idiot starmer he is
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: not genius of europe right but this guy is doing
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: everything he can to destroy his country by letting all
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: these people into the country that's right and now the
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: european migration pact just got uh... just got enforced it
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: just started last sunday i think what's that well that
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: means that you as a european nation will take immigrants
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: as dictated by this group of tyrants in brussels.
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: You have you don't say so you have.
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: No say so and if you don't take them we're
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: gonna find you and i think the fine people can
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: look this up and verify it it's something like twenty
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: thousand dollars per illegal alien. You have to take them.
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: They're going to force you to transition your culture. They're
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: not bringing in people that are going to assimilate. They're
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: bringing in people that you're going to have to feed
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: and house. Then you're going to either give them work
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: or continue to feed and house them for the rest
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: of their life. You're going to pay their health care.
- 1:49:46Speaker 2: You're going to pay for their children. You're going to
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: pay to educate them. You're going to change your schools
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: from your nation to their language, to their culture. And then,
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: you know, if you don't do it, the EU is
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: somehow going to harass you. Now, there was a..
- 1:49:59Speaker 1: Now, what's the agenda for doing that?
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: Complete transition of culture and country you know this western
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: so placement there the replacement strategy now the replacement strategy
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: is we've got these cultures in the west that believe
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: that there should not be corruption government the government should
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: serve the people i think it's hilarious we will say
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: that some government employee i pay your salary they don't
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: care because they don't care what you have to say
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: so so you know the the idea is that this
- 1:50:28Speaker 2: culture in the West is one that expects a voice
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: in government, they expect a government to be service-oriented, servicing
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: the people. They expect corruption to be punished. They expect
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: the rule of law. None of that is compliant with
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: the sort of, you know, system, the feudalist system that
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: these globalists want to impose. They want to impose a
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: system where they sit on top, where they have absolute power,
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: they have absolute wealth, and the peasants are simply the
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: useless eaters, the ones that they allow, as Bloomberg put it,
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: we can give them three meals and a roof and
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: they can go off and live their little life. You know,
- 1:51:02Speaker 2: there is a horrible hatred of this Western culture and
- 1:51:06Speaker 2: it's being destroyed all across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: the United States.
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: Which is a great culture. Why destroy it?
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: Because it limits your power. If you want to go
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: to Epstein's Island, you're going to have an expectation in
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: our culture that you get punished. Well, they like Epstein's Island.
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: They enjoyed going down there. No one forced them to go.
- 1:51:24Speaker 2: They view you as lesser to begin with.
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: Oh, you're absolutely.
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: You're lesser just as the Muslim views kafir as lesser,
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: as other cultures view people as lesser. The globalists view
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: everyone as a peasant who isn't one of them.
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: That's why it's going on everywhere, including the United States.
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: Yes, and it's organized. It goes back a century.
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: It's not new. You know, it goes back. It's why
- 1:51:49Speaker 1: Biden opened the border.
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: It's why our schools in many, many places, and maybe
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: not in your school system, but you better check. It's
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: why our schools now obsess about race and sex. You know,
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: at third grade, there really is a chance that. Did
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: you see there was a teacher that just got fired
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: the other day because she had two of her. She
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: was having her female students kiss each other and rating them.
- 1:52:11Speaker 2: That was happening in like, I think it was a
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: middle school. I don't remember where. But she just got fired.
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: And they had to go through a process to fire her.
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: She wasn't walked out that day. Right?
- 1:52:20Speaker 1: What world could you.
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: Imagine where an American school would do that? Where you've
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: got a teacher that's forcing the female students to kiss
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: so she can rate them because she's a lesbian and
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: she's taking them on her personal sexual journey. This is
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: bizarre stuff. This would have never been allowed in our schools. Now,
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: she got fired. She said, well, it couldn't be allowed.
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: How did we get to a place that it could
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: even happen? It was unthinkable 20 years ago.
- 1:52:42Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: So we got our schools focused on sex, sexuality, and race,
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: splitting everybody up, calling everybody a label.
- 1:52:49Speaker 1: You're a victim.
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: You're a victor. You're a victim. You're an oppressor, whatever
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: you are. And why are they doing that?
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: Particularly the white race. You're a white supremacist.
- 1:52:59Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: You're a racist. Oh, yeah. White privilege.
- 1:53:01Speaker 3: Oh, right.
- 1:53:02Speaker 1: I mean, the white race is under constant attack.
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: Well, and men.
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: Let's face it.
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: I mean, when the universities went to about 60% female– uh...
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: enrollment think about that it's not fifty fifty or fifty
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: one forty nine there's a twenty point gap between male
- 1:53:18Speaker 2: and female well then you take all the set asides
- 1:53:21Speaker 2: for various races and ethnicities and nationalities the preference to
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: bringing in illegal aliens because they're exotic over americans who
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: are boring and all the sudden if you're sort of
- 1:53:30Speaker 2: an average white kid that's uh... done pretty well in
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: school and would like to get a college education your
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: last in line so you might be 35% or 30%
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: of the population, but you may only have 8% of
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: the college slots available to you and no money. So
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: there's a structural change that has caused a racism, a sexism,
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: this bizarre focus in our schools on gender and race
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: that is extremely destructive to this country. So we're not
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: really a meritocracy, haven't been for a long time. We're
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: not really capitalist, haven't been for a long time.
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: Because what do you mean?
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: Well, who decides what energy we build? Is it the
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: energy companies and the consumers? Well, no, it's the federal
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: government and their grant machine. Who decides what kind of
- 1:54:17Speaker 2: car we drive? Well, the government's dictated electric cars, so
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: you've got to get rid of the internal combustion engine.
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: They go and they take out all the supply chain
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: for these cars. You know, they have been stopped for
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: the time being. Don't mistake. They absolutely intend to continue.
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: And then the rise of tyranny. You know, This kill
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: switch issue that Thomas Massey was working on, which I
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: believe is one of the reasons that they had to
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: take him out, this kill switch is an important change
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: in the way we have a relationship with our government.
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: Because our government's now saying, I will have a switch
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: in your car that I can turn off anytime I want.
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: If you go somewhere I don't like, I'm going to
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: turn off your car. If I don't like you, you
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: don't have the proper social score, I'm going to turn
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: off your car. Now we're getting to a point where
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: these car companies are saying, We're going to make the
- 1:55:03Speaker 2: consumer pay us to install technology in their automobile that
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: is going to evaluate them every time they get it.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: It's going to do a facial scan, and then it's
- 1:55:11Speaker 2: going to go out and check whether you have a warrant.
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: It's going to then evaluate your eyes and see if
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: you might be drunk or sluggish or tired. Evaluate your
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: movements and see if you're qualified to drive. And if
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: it says you're okay to drive, well, then your car
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: will work. And if you're driving and it you know,
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: changes its mind, your car's going to turn off. Where
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: are we in a world where our cars are going
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: to be surveilling us? And it's not just the physical characteristics.
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: These cars are going to be designed to surveil every
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: word you say, like your phone is now.
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: So there'll be no privacy. Like anything you Google search.
- 1:55:46Speaker 13: Right.
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: So the government will have the ability to listen, to monitor,
- 1:55:51Speaker 2: to control everything you do in your car, which has
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: been kind of a sanctuary for us. If you want
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: to get in your car today and drive to California,
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: go ahead. Oh, no. Not once they decide where you
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: can go and how. You think this is crazy? Well,
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: go look at England, where there are 15-minute cities, and
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: if you go outside your zone, you may be shut down.
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: You have to apply for a permit in China to
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: go from one zone to another. Or you have to
- 1:56:12Speaker 2: go through a turnstile and put a little pass in
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: in some cities. This tyranny is being rolled out all
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: across the West in intense surveillance at a level well
- 1:56:23Speaker 2: beyond what Google's been doing for the last 30 years,
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: well beyond the dossiers that have been worked up by
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: our students when they take these surveys or these tests
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: that are provided by third parties. They go into your school.
- 1:56:35Speaker 2: They provide tests and surveys. The kids fill those out.
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: That data is owned by the company. The school has
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: a use agreement so they can access that data, but
- 1:56:45Speaker 2: the company owns the data. We have companies going into
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: our school and evaluating our children and building private dossiers
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: on them that will stay with them for life. Who
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: can get access to that? The government. Anybody that pays
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: that company can buy that access.
- 1:57:00Speaker 1: The other day we were talking about Ireland and some
- 1:57:03Speaker 1: of the Irish fighting to take Ireland back. Talk about it.
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: Well, they've begun burning homes that are designated for immigrants.
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: They've begun counterattacking. What brought that on?
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: What finally brought the Irish to say we've had enough?
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: Well, in Belfast, I think it's a Somali guy, but
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: it's in the news. I can't remember. He took an
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: Irishman down and started sawing at him, trying to cut
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: off his neck, cut off his head.
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: An immigrant.
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: Another Irishman interrupted that with, I think, some kind of
- 1:57:37Speaker 2: a sporting stick. I can't remember. There's a game they play.
- 1:57:40Speaker 2: So he went up and he smacked him, stopped him.
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: And that was what started that. And people say, wait
- 1:57:47Speaker 2: a minute, this has gone too far. Now remember, there's
- 1:57:50Speaker 2: a report that just came out of the grooming gangs
- 1:57:52Speaker 2: in Europe.
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: Explain to people the grooming gangs... This is hard for
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: people to imagine. These are people that come from– that
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: they allowed into the country that just simply rape women
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: and children. All these people that they let in are
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: young men.
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: The vast majority of the people coming into, say, Ireland,
- 1:58:10Speaker 2: according to the Irish, are 25 to 35-year-old adult men,
- 1:58:14Speaker 2: you know, fighting and breeding age.
- 1:58:16Speaker 1: That aren't assimilating.
- 1:58:17Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: And they come with their culture.
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: And they demand you go to their culture, and then
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: they get paid. So they're actually Irish citizens have been
- 1:58:24Speaker 2: taken out of their homes so the homes could be
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: given to a migrant The Irish citizen paid his own rent.
- 1:58:30Speaker 2: The migrant's rent is paid by the government. This is insanity.
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: This is treason. And this is cultural destruction.
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: And so this report, there's been a big, a long
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: fight in the UK about these grooming gangs. And a
- 1:58:44Speaker 2: lot of them are Pakistani. But they target English girls
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: and maybe boys. And they go and they may befriend
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: them a little bit. Maybe they give them a little
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: treat or whatever. Eventually get them to a hotel. They
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: gang rape them. And they tell them, of course, if
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: you say anything, we'll kill your whole family. Well, they've
- 1:58:59Speaker 2: been protected by the government for years. This started in
- 1:59:03Speaker 2: the 80s. But a report was just done that is
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: estimating the number of English girls raped by these people
- 1:59:08Speaker 2: at 250,000. Now imagine a structurally industrial scale system that
- 1:59:17Speaker 2: attracts either kidnaps or grooms these girls and then rapes
- 1:59:22Speaker 2: them as children. The parents can't interfere because if a
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: parent says something on social media or comes and tries
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: to interfere, they go to jail.
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: They go to jail. And so you have a system
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: where 250 English girls have been raped by these folks,
- 1:59:37Speaker 2: mostly foreigners, right? And nobody does anything. The police protect them.
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: The government says it isn't true. Then there's a vote
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: in the parliament. They say, are we going to investigate this?
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: And parliament votes no. We're not going to investigate the
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: grooming gangs because they're protecting them. A report gets done
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: in any event, so a report has just been issued,
- 1:59:54Speaker 2: and the estimate is 250,000 raped children in England, in
- 1:59:59Speaker 2: the UK. And the government's reaction?
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: Well, nothing.
- 2:00:03Speaker 2: That's not a problem to them, because it's part of
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: the plan the globalists have to destroy this nation. Now,
- 2:00:09Speaker 2: who's the mayor of London? Well, that's Sadiq Khan. You
- 2:00:11Speaker 2: think Sadiq Khan, he's been there for 10 years. You
- 2:00:13Speaker 2: think he's done anything to rein in the grooming gangs?
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: Nothing I've been.
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: Able to find.
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: You know, you've got now..
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: I think it's... Hold that thought. Back in a minute.
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: News Radio 570 WKBN. Ron Verbe with G2 till 7 tonight.
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: Interesting discussion. Maybe some calls. All that. We're here tonight
- 2:00:32Speaker 1: till 7. 570 WKBN. Ron Verbe with G2. I mean,
- 2:00:38Speaker 1: for a lot of people, when you talk what's going
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: on in Ireland, but finally they said enough. I mean,
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: the Ireland... It's Ireland taking back Ireland, is it not?
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: Yes, it is. And the long-term plan for Ireland, and
- 2:00:51Speaker 2: there's some documents around this, they call it a virtuous
- 2:00:54Speaker 2: cycle of migration. And the idea is that they're going
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: to bring in.
- 2:00:58Speaker 1: All these people. They're bringing them all in.
- 2:01:00Speaker 2: So there are about 5.4 million people in Ireland, and
- 2:01:03Speaker 2: about a third of them, I'm told, are now not Irish.
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: Say it's 20%, 25%. I think it's more like 33%.
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: All right, let's call it a third, but whatever. There's
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: a lot of them. The plan is to double the
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: population of Ireland, bringing people in from places like India.
- 2:01:17Speaker 2: So you're going to take it from 5.4 to 10
- 2:01:20Speaker 2: million people and everyone that comes in that's all going
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: to be all these foreigners? What is it about the
- 2:01:27Speaker 2: Irish you don't like? What is it about India that
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: these people so desperately want to get out? What is
- 2:01:33Speaker 2: it about the people that are responsible for caring for
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: Ireland that they're saying, oh, yeah, bring in another 5
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: million people. Let's completely change the culture. Let's stamp out
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: the Irish. And then I loved it when they went
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: to the Irish guys and the German guys and said, hey, listen,
- 2:01:48Speaker 2: we'd like you to go over to Ukraine and fight
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: the Russians. Well, what are you going to do with
- 2:01:52Speaker 2: the 3,500 guys in the camp outside of town?
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. They're going to be fine.
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: The 3,500 guys that came from all over the world
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: that are 25 to 35 years old, the 3,500 guys
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: that are going to sweep into town the minute we're gone.
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: It is a structural plan that the globalists have to
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: fundamentally change Western culture. You know, the thing they hate
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: more than anything else is this United States Constitution. That's
- 2:02:16Speaker 2: why using tech and Google and flock cameras and all
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: these things, they basically eliminated the Fourth Amendment now. You
- 2:02:23Speaker 2: hear now calls for certain kinds of speech to be
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: banned because it's offensive.
- 2:02:27Speaker 1: Hate speech, yeah.
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: What is hate speech?
- 2:02:30Speaker 1: And who determines it?
- 2:02:32Speaker 2: There you get into it. It's exactly the speech that
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: is protected. If it wasn't for uncomfortable speech, we'd have
- 2:02:37Speaker 2: no reason to have a First Amendment.
- 2:02:38Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: But they now want to have a uh..
- 2:02:41Speaker 2: Ability to decide whether what you're saying is appropriate or
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: not if it's not it's going to be there this
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: idea of the constant assault on the second amendment this
- 2:02:50Speaker 2: constant move by cities by counties by states and by
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: the federal government uh..
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: A t f specifically to try to continuously take.
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: Away more and more of our ability to protect ourselves
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: they know the second amendment amendment isn't about hunting or
- 2:03:03Speaker 2: target shooting they know it's about tyranny right and so
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: you know this globalist these tyrants they they can't they
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: they really can abide by the second amendment or the
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: first amendment for the fourth amendment or really any especially
- 2:03:18Speaker 2: the tenth which limits their ability to do things with
- 2:03:20Speaker 2: the federal government so they they would really like to
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: see that go away that's basically what it's all about
- 2:03:27Speaker 2: right because they have such incredible political power as.
- 2:03:31Speaker 1: I said before we didn't get a vote to say
- 2:03:33Speaker 1: let's open the border let millions of people come in
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: here legally let him stay <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: that when they showed up to the border, they'd show
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: them the phone and be let in.
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: It's insane. Back with G2 here tonight till 7, NewsRadio
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: 570 WKBN. And Ron Verp from the Kingdom of Mahoning.
- 2:04:21Speaker 11: From ABC News, I'm Michelle Franzen. The Trump administration disclosing
- 2:04:25Speaker 11: terms of the proposed memo of understanding between the U.S.
- 2:04:28Speaker 11: and Iran set to be signed Friday in Geneva. It
- 2:04:30Speaker 11: calls for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon,
- 2:04:34Speaker 11: reopens the Strait of Hormuz, and resumes nuclear talks. President
- 2:04:37Speaker 11: Trump says billions of Iranian funds could also be unfrozen
- 2:04:41Speaker 11: if Iran behaves. ABC's Jonathan Karl says the deal falls short, though,
- 2:04:45Speaker 11: of the joint agreement made during the Obama administration on
- 2:04:48Speaker 11: nuclear programs.
- 2:04:49Speaker 14: This is under the Obama deal. Iran reaffirms that under
- 2:04:53Speaker 14: no circumstances will Iran ever, no time limit, will Iran
- 2:04:58Speaker 14: ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons. So that
- 2:05:03Speaker 14: is something that was already in place in the agreement
- 2:05:07Speaker 14: that President Trump ripped up during his first term. So
- 2:05:12Speaker 14: there's going to be a lot of criticism of this
- 2:05:14Speaker 14: agreement and a lot of it coming from the people
- 2:05:16Speaker 14: that were cheering the president on when he engaged on
- 2:05:19Speaker 14: this military operation in the first place.
- 2:05:21Speaker 11: Iranian parliament member Mohammad Galibaf in an interview with Iran
- 2:05:25Speaker 11: State TV claiming Iran won over the great military power.
- 2:05:28Speaker 11: The FBI continues to search for more suspects in the
- 2:05:31Speaker 11: alleged drone plot targeting Sunday's White House UFC event. Five
- 2:05:35Speaker 11: people have been charged, authorities say more than 20 others
- 2:05:38Speaker 11: may have been involved in the plan.
- 2:05:39Speaker 24: That initial tip was given to the FBI by a
- 2:05:42Speaker 24: local police department in Ohio after a mother of a
- 2:05:45Speaker 24: 19-year-old suspect charged in these cases called because she was
- 2:05:49Speaker 24: so concerned about him amassing all of these weapons and
- 2:05:52Speaker 24: the concerning conversations that he was having online. And that
- 2:05:54Speaker 24: led the FBI to then get a confession from him
- 2:05:57Speaker 24: and search his phone. and uncover this plot where they
- 2:06:00Speaker 24: would have launched explosive drones at the actual fight and
- 2:06:04Speaker 24: then followed that as people were fleeing the South Lawn.
- 2:06:07Speaker 24: They planned to position snipers who would take out high-value targets.
- 2:06:10Speaker 11: ABC's Alex Mallon, along the Gulf Coast, residents bracing for
- 2:06:13Speaker 11: Tropical Storm Arthur, the first storm of the hurricane season.
- 2:06:16Speaker 11: You're listening to ABC News.
- 2:06:21Speaker 1: What a great Wednesday it's been. Ron Firm, NewsRadio 570 WKBN.
- 2:06:26Speaker 1: honored to have G2 in a studio with me live
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: and in person out of the bunker in an undisclosed
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: secret location and in a studio. I say to you
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: during the breaks, and I've said to you before, it
- 2:06:39Speaker 1: is hard to convey the message to get people to
- 2:06:44Speaker 1: understand what is going on in this world without sounding
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: like a nut. Without sounding like, is this Art Bell? No.
- 2:06:54Speaker 1: Without sounding like, it's not, and incidentally, Art Bell was
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: right about a lot of things. But keep in mind,
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: without sounding like, so when you're saying, listen, just think
- 2:07:05Speaker 1: about it. All of you listening, think about it. No
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: one in this country voted on letting all these people
- 2:07:10Speaker 1: into your country illegally. Your congressman didn't have a say so.
- 2:07:14Speaker 1: It just happened. Biden just looked the other way, neutered
- 2:07:19Speaker 1: the border, and millions of people came into your country
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: you know absolutely nothing about. Millions of them. They were
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: flown to communities in the middle of the night. They
- 2:07:28Speaker 1: didn't want you to know what was going on. And
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: you were paying for all of this stuff. Who organized
- 2:07:32Speaker 1: this stuff? Who wanted this to happen? And at the
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: same time, this stuff is happening in Germany and in England.
- 2:07:39Speaker 1: It's happening in the world. Why are all these people
- 2:07:42Speaker 1: coming here from these other countries that are coming with
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: cultures that don't assimilate to our culture? Why do we
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: change the laws? Why do we say, you know, when
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: you talk about grooming gangs, you're talking about young men
- 2:07:54Speaker 1: that are here that rape the women and girls of
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: that community. That's what you're talking about. And you've talked
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: about this for a long time. It's hard for the
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: person out there listening to even imagine what's going on.
- 2:08:09Speaker 1: But it's real in Ireland right now. It's reached a
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: breaking point in Ireland, hopefully.
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: There's some canaries in the coal mine, right? But we're
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: all in the same coal mine. And one canary was
- 2:08:19Speaker 2: the wages, right? All of a sudden productivity was growing.
- 2:08:22Speaker 2: The economy was growing.
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: But wages were stagnated.
- 2:08:25Speaker 2: Now you got inflation and you've had it consistently just
- 2:08:28Speaker 2: at low levels relative to the last four years, Biden years,
- 2:08:31Speaker 2: but wages.
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: Weren't growing as fast as inflation. Like how could that happen?
- 2:08:35Speaker 1: So that was, well, maybe there's a problem.
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're injecting unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled labor into
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: the workforce at a steady rate specifically to reduce wages.
- 2:08:45Speaker 4: Okay.
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: So we're at a war with the, The middle class.
- 2:08:47Speaker 4: All right.
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: But, you know, it's not like. We'll take your work.
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: Let's take your educated work and we'll ship it over
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: to India. Or we'll bring that person over here and
- 2:08:58Speaker 1: pay them less. Well, you do that and you export.
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: So now we don't need you.
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: Export all the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and everything else.
- 2:09:06Speaker 1: To China.
- 2:09:07Speaker 6: Yep.
- 2:09:07Speaker 2: So all the high value jobs are going.
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: But you're going to be a barista at Starbucks.
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: So there's some, you see some things they're saying, wait
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: a minute, this globalism thing, I've got to figure this out.
- 2:09:17Speaker 1: It's not just trade, and.
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: It's certainly not fair trade where we're all working on
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: an equal footing. It was a specific draining of the
- 2:09:24Speaker 2: United States.
- 2:09:25Speaker 1: Meanwhile, in order to keep this thing going, they just
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: start printing money.
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: They start printing money. Every time these globalist policies begin
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: to disrupt the economy. Oh, let's do some liquidity. Let's
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: do some quantitative easing. Let's lower interest rates.
- 2:09:39Speaker 1: But as they're printing that money, your lifestyle and status,
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: your savings is declining.
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: But you're getting cheaper TVs. Okay, so all right, well,
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: I like TVs. So we go through all this.
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I saved all this for my retirement. Well,
- 2:09:52Speaker 1: that's not enough anymore. Well, it's not enough now. Look
- 2:09:54Speaker 1: at the inflation. Look at the value of what it is.
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: And through that inflation, they've been eroding that value. And
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: the Fed just say out loud.
- 2:10:00Speaker 1: Your middle class lifestyle, your middle class lifestyle.
- 2:10:03Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, and for the Fed to say out loud
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: that we want 2% inflation is just shocking to me
- 2:10:07Speaker 2: now as I hear it.
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: I want zero inflation. I want zero.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, given what's happened in the
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: last decade, I take negative inflation for a reason.
- 2:10:14Speaker 1: Oh, deflation is the worst thing ever. You know what?
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: We had lower 2% inflation for the longest period of
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: time prior to Biden. We never even talked about it.
- 2:10:21Speaker 2: No, no, and what we should have said is, wait
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: a minute, why do we have 2%? We need zero.
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: Let's stop printing money. It's nothing more than the reallocation
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: of wealth. Printing money is the reallocation of wealth, the
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: redistribution of wealth from the people that are paying for
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: everything to the people who aren't or from the people
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: who pay taxes to folks that are in that government community,
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: the NGOs, right? You look at these NGOs, look at
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: the non-government agencies. Yeah, these non-profits, as I call them,
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: profitable non-profits. There's nothing more profitable than these things because
- 2:10:52Speaker 2: they have to push all their money out. They have
- 2:10:54Speaker 2: to show no profit, right? They paid massive wages for
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: executives in a lot of these non-profits.
- 2:10:59Speaker 1: That are politically connected.
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: Absolutely. And, you know, the perfect example that we talk
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: about all the time is Stacey Abrams and her $ 1. 9
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: billion grant to buy energy-efficient appliances for the poor. Wait, what?
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: The organization at last had been in existence for a
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: very short period of time, had no assets, no activity,
- 2:11:20Speaker 2: no employees. They get a $ 1. 9 billion grant. Just happens
- 2:11:23Speaker 2: to be Stacey Abrams. who had run for governor of
- 2:11:25Speaker 2: Georgia and then in..
- 2:11:27Speaker 1: Takes a big salary of what she's now.
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: She gave her law firm $ 20 million to be used
- 2:11:32Speaker 2: to start her own businesses.
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: So the money, you know, is just being stolen.
- 2:11:37Speaker 2: So you see this wage problem and you say, okay, well,
- 2:11:40Speaker 2: what's that all about? And you start looking at this
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: and they make fun of you because you're saying, well,
- 2:11:44Speaker 2: they're stealing our jobs.
- 2:11:45Speaker 1: And okay, well, you know, they are.
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: And then you go forward and you see something like
- 2:11:49Speaker 2: the grooming gangs in Europe and you're going, wait a minute,
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: is that coming here? Surely enough, probably more than a
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: decade ago now, there were reports out of Minneapolis.
- 2:11:59Speaker 1: Of all places, right?
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: We see the province of Minneapolis, of these gangs that
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: were called grooming gangs, which at the time I didn't
- 2:12:06Speaker 2: know anything about. Well, there was a woman up there
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: who noticed that there were men who were befriending these
- 2:12:11Speaker 2: girls who were relatively typically poor, typically from broken homes,
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: and they would buy them some gifts, some baubles, you know,
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: give them some lipstick or whatever, then invite them to
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: a party. And again, that's how this process works. Then
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: you rape them And then you tell them, hey, if
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: you tell your parents, we'll kill your parents. The grooming
- 2:12:27Speaker 2: gangs would occasionally get caught up by the law, and
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: they would end up in court. But they would often
- 2:12:32Speaker 2: win because none of the witnesses were able to testify
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: against them. Out of fear. Well, when you look out
- 2:12:40Speaker 2: in the audience, who's out there? All these people who
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: worked in this grooming industry, in this child trafficking industry,
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: They all are on government assistance, so they get all
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: their benefits from the government.
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: They get some money from the government. And then their
- 2:12:50Speaker 1: cash business is the kids.
- 2:12:52Speaker 2: So the people working security, the people working in makeup
- 2:12:55Speaker 2: and hair, all the people, the transportation guys, they're all
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: sitting in the audience staring at the witnesses saying, I
- 2:13:00Speaker 2: dare you. So it was very.
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: Difficult to get a conviction.
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: But this one woman in Chicago began, I'm sorry, Minneapolis
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: began fighting that. And, you know, she was stunned that
- 2:13:11Speaker 2: when she went to the police, she found out they
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: had no interest in helping. So the point is, what
- 2:13:16Speaker 2: you see happening in europe is here now it's gonna
- 2:13:19Speaker 2: get bigger here it's not here as much because of
- 2:13:22Speaker 2: two things the constitution and the fact that we actually
- 2:13:26Speaker 2: took advantage of the second amendment bought firearms so the
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: fact that we are are an armed nation and that
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: we still have constitutional protections we still have our government
- 2:13:35Speaker 2: under somewhat of control not entirely and it's getting worse
- 2:13:39Speaker 2: by the day you see it uh..
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: It nibbled away at you with your first amendment with Well,
- 2:13:44Speaker 1: let's talk about hate speech. In the United States of America.
- 2:13:47Speaker 2: That's right. When they introduced the concept of hate speech,
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: and you saw the journalism class, if you will, they
- 2:13:52Speaker 2: used to just scream about the First Amendment, defend it,
- 2:13:55Speaker 2: go to jail to defend it, and suddenly they're going..
- 2:13:57Speaker 1: It's there to protect hate speech. It's not there to
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: protect the speech you like.
- 2:14:00Speaker 2: Well, now you'll hear journalists say, well, yeah, I think
- 2:14:02Speaker 2: we ought to probably control language. We've got to get
- 2:14:04Speaker 2: rid of this disinformation.
- 2:14:06Speaker 1: What? Who determines what's disinformation?
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: It It turns out, the government.
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: So you've got these things that.
- 2:14:14Speaker 2: Are happening across Western civilization. They are coming here if
- 2:14:17Speaker 2: we don't stop them. Now, when people say, especially about
- 2:14:20Speaker 2: the Iran war, they say, well, we should be arming
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: the Iranians.
- 2:14:23Speaker 1: I'm like, why? Why are we arming the Irish? Why
- 2:14:25Speaker 1: are we arming the Germans?
- 2:14:26Speaker 2: Why are we arming the English fathers whose daughters are
- 2:14:29Speaker 2: being raped at an industrial scale?
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: Why are we doing that?
- 2:14:32Speaker 2: Because that's what's helping us so far. Now, that's not
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: a permanent fix. We will be overtaken. Because I guarantee
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: you that a lot of the folks that say, pride
- 2:14:40Speaker 2: from my cold, dead hands, when the government finally comes
- 2:14:43Speaker 2: to the door and says, hey, listen, we know you
- 2:14:45Speaker 2: have 17 firearms, and we'd like them all, please. They're
- 2:14:47Speaker 2: going to hand them over. There's not going to be
- 2:14:49Speaker 2: a fight with the vast majority of people. We'll be
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: lucky if we get 1% to 3% of the American people.
- 2:14:53Speaker 1: Or if they say, give us your firearms, and if
- 2:14:55Speaker 1: we catch you with them, we'll put you in prison.
- 2:14:57Speaker 1: That's what they're going to say. Well, I can't do that.
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: We will surrender, trust me. If we don't change our
- 2:15:04Speaker 2: culture now and begin defending this magnificent country we have
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: And I don't mean with fire. How do you defend
- 2:15:10Speaker 2: the country today? Well, you go get active. You start
- 2:15:12Speaker 2: paying attention to these people who are supposed to be
- 2:15:14Speaker 2: your representatives. And when they say they represent you, but
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: then they vote the other way, you call their office.
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: Maybe you go visit them. You know, when they do
- 2:15:22Speaker 1: the right things, you call their office and thank them.
- 2:15:24Speaker 7: Right.
- 2:15:25Speaker 1: You've got to get engaged. The citizens, we have the
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: easiest job in the world.
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: If we take it up, we could defend this nation,
- 2:15:31Speaker 2: but we have to take it up and, and, The
- 2:15:33Speaker 2: reason I talk about Ireland and the reason I talk
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: about Germany and I talk about all these countries and
- 2:15:37Speaker 2: what's happening to them, the reason we spend so much
- 2:15:40Speaker 2: time talking about the detention camps in Australia during COVID,
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: those were planned for here.
- 2:15:46Speaker 1: They just never got that far. Tell people about those
- 2:15:49Speaker 1: so they remember what that was.
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: Well, in Australia during COVID, if you were suspected, so,
- 2:15:55Speaker 2: you know, that contact tracing they were doing? So, you know,
- 2:15:57Speaker 2: somebody got sick. They said, well, tell us the last
- 2:15:59Speaker 2: people you spoke to. And they would write down these lists.
- 2:16:02Speaker 2: Then the government would go out and talk to them. Well,
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: who have you been around? Okay, they'd put down these lists.
- 2:16:06Speaker 2: And if you were considered a risk because you'd been
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: identified in contact tracing as possibly being infected by COVID,
- 2:16:13Speaker 2: the Army would pick you up and take you to
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: a camp.
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: And people are like, in Australia? Yes, in Australia.
- 2:16:20Speaker 2: And there was a guy, I still, it was kind
- 2:16:22Speaker 2: of a funny story. A guy got out of one.
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: He left a day early. He was supposed to be
- 2:16:25Speaker 2: there for 14 days. He left a day early, went
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: to his ATM. Card didn't work.
- 2:16:29Speaker 1: Goes into the bank. They said, oh, you're not supposed
- 2:16:30Speaker 1: to be out of the camp.
- 2:16:32Speaker 2: They had locked down his financial accounts so that he
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: could not effectively leave the camp.
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: If he got out... He couldn't use his own money.
- 2:16:40Speaker 2: He couldn't use his own money.
- 2:16:41Speaker 1: Like the truckers in Canada. He had to go back
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: to the camp. Like people fear if we go to
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: an all-digital system here. Well, it's not a fear. If
- 2:16:50Speaker 1: we eliminate currency.
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:16:52Speaker 1: It's not a fear.
- 2:16:53Speaker 2: The people that are pushing digital currency say in all
- 2:16:56Speaker 2: of their presentations... One of the great things about this
- 2:16:59Speaker 2: is we'll have perfect control. Larry Ellison, the guy that
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: just bought CBS and TikTok, you know, big donor to
- 2:17:04Speaker 2: the IDF, he has said, well, when we're surveilling everything
- 2:17:08Speaker 2: they do, people will be on their best behavior.
- 2:17:11Speaker 1: That means compliance.
- 2:17:12Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you're being polite to your neighbor or
- 2:17:14Speaker 2: like the Japanese people that are going to the World
- 2:17:16Speaker 2: Cup games, picking up your own trash.
- 2:17:18Speaker 3: No, no.
- 2:17:19Speaker 2: That means you will do as you're told because if
- 2:17:21Speaker 2: you don't, we're going to know. And if we know,
- 2:17:24Speaker 2: we'll turn off your money. We'll turn off your transportation.
- 2:17:27Speaker 2: We'll flip the kill switch in your car. You won't
- 2:17:29Speaker 2: be able to drive anywhere. We won't allow you to
- 2:17:31Speaker 2: get a train ticket.
- 2:17:32Speaker 1: Sound far-fetched? It's happening in China right now. Everything that's
- 2:17:36Speaker 1: happening is moving us.
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: Look at Australia. Everything that's happening is moving us down
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: that path. That's why I talk about this stuff so constantly.
- 2:17:45Speaker 2: And now you mentioned earlier, you know, we were talking
- 2:17:47Speaker 2: about Ireland on this show, what, two years ago?
- 2:17:49Speaker 17: Yes.
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: Now look what's happening in Ireland. They tried to cut
- 2:17:52Speaker 2: that guy's head off, finally. Saw his head off on
- 2:17:54Speaker 2: the street. Finally people are reacting. They reached a boiling point.
- 2:17:59Speaker 2: We've had enough of this craziness. That's right. Now, I
- 2:18:02Speaker 2: will tell you, the Irish are about five years too late,
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: but I think there's still hope.
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: Now, what should our role be?
- 2:18:06Speaker 2: Again, when people said we should on the iranians i
- 2:18:09Speaker 2: said oh no no let's go on the irish let's
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: on the english the i would i would absolutely support
- 2:18:15Speaker 2: the united states going to europe to defend the european
- 2:18:17Speaker 2: people against the tyrants of brussels the tyrants of berlin
- 2:18:21Speaker 2: the tyrants of the global errors and london the globalists
- 2:18:25Speaker 2: that have taken over spain all these countries that are
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: destroying their rights putting them in jail for speech violations
- 2:18:32Speaker 2: bringing in migrants who have basically legal preference, they could
- 2:18:37Speaker 2: do anything they want, you know, and who are systematically
- 2:18:41Speaker 2: disassembling their cultures and their nations and their rule of law,
- 2:18:46Speaker 2: and who are taxing those very citizens that are being destroyed,
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: taxing them to pay for the destruction of their own nation.
- 2:18:54Speaker 2: The United States should be defending those people. Maybe just
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: rhetoric at the UN. Well, okay, that's not going to work.
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: I think we should be arming the Irish, the English,
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: the Germans, the Spanish against these oppressors.
- 2:19:09Speaker 1: It's hard for people to imagine what you're saying, but
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: it is going on.
- 2:19:12Speaker 2: It sounds far-fetched.
- 2:19:13Speaker 1: It is absolutely going on.
- 2:19:15Speaker 3: It's happening.
- 2:19:15Speaker 2: It's happening every day.
- 2:19:16Speaker 1: Because in all fairness, you've been talking about this at
- 2:19:20Speaker 1: least two years, and I spoke to you the other
- 2:19:23Speaker 1: day when it came to a head in Ireland. Do
- 2:19:25Speaker 1: you see what's going on?
- 2:19:26Speaker 6: Yep.
- 2:19:27Speaker 1: Do you see that they finally are saying enough of this?
- 2:19:29Speaker 4: That's right.
- 2:19:30Speaker 1: And of course they make the people out that are
- 2:19:34Speaker 1: standing up to this and the double standard in a crime. Oh,
- 2:19:39Speaker 1: they're bigots. They're white supremacists. They name call them right
- 2:19:43Speaker 1: off the bat instead of saying they're the Irish fighting
- 2:19:46Speaker 1: for the Irish. That's right.
- 2:19:47Speaker 2: As soon as you hear someone calling people names like bigot,
- 2:19:52Speaker 2: like racist, misogynist, anti-Semite, as soon as you hear that,
- 2:19:54Speaker 2: you've got to stop and ask yourself, wait a minute.
- 2:19:57Speaker 2: Why are you going to that kind of attack? Is
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: it that you don't have a point to make?
- 2:20:00Speaker 1: What is it? You know, that's an immediate sign that.
- 2:20:03Speaker 2: Somebody's about to lose their rights.
- 2:20:05Speaker 1: And it's constant. It is constantly going on. News Radio 570. G2,
- 2:20:11Speaker 1: you're on air.
- 2:20:13Speaker 7: Hey there, G2.
- 2:20:14Speaker 4: So you mentioned before the flock cameras. I would alert
- 2:20:20Speaker 4: the people to take a look at dflop.org and look
- 2:20:23Speaker 4: at what you find in your town. In my little
- 2:20:28Speaker 4: hamlet of Slippery Rock, I found out that there are
- 2:20:30Speaker 4: two cameras in Slippery Rock, and they're private. And that
- 2:20:35Speaker 4: gets me to another point is this data is being
- 2:20:39Speaker 4: collected by private companies. This is capitalism being used against
- 2:20:44Speaker 4: capitalism and freedom. And these cameras do.
- 2:20:49Speaker 7: Automatic plate work.
- 2:20:52Speaker 4: Uh, reading and reads, you know, how fast your car
- 2:20:55Speaker 4: was going, where you were going, the time of day,
- 2:20:59Speaker 4: all that. I think it's not too long until they do,
- 2:21:01Speaker 4: you know, facial recognition so that you can't use somebody
- 2:21:05Speaker 4: else's car to go around. And the, you know, this
- 2:21:08Speaker 4: stuff then becomes available for government to buy, or maybe
- 2:21:13Speaker 4: your company is worried about you, um, Maybe he's looking
- 2:21:18Speaker 4: for another job and we want to find out whether
- 2:21:20Speaker 4: he's looking for another job. We're going to activate the
- 2:21:24Speaker 4: flock cameras around our competitors and see whether he's interviewing.
- 2:21:28Speaker 4: Or somebody's running for dog catcher in their little hamlet
- 2:21:35Speaker 4: and we want to see what that guy's doing on
- 2:21:38Speaker 4: the side. Maybe he's doing this, that, or the other thing,
- 2:21:41Speaker 4: but it's no longer private. So I think that people
- 2:21:47Speaker 4: need to be aware that these things are happening all
- 2:21:50Speaker 4: over the country, not just in the big cities. And
- 2:21:55Speaker 4: the last thing I would say is that the.
- 2:22:00Speaker 7: Second Amendment is the..
- 2:22:03Speaker 4: Major thing that keeps them from taking everything over.
- 2:22:08Speaker 6: Yep.
- 2:22:08Speaker 5: Okay.
- 2:22:09Speaker 4: The politicians realize there's a lot of us that have
- 2:22:13Speaker 4: a 600-yard shot. That's right.
- 2:22:17Speaker 2: Now, one point, you mentioned that they're using capitalism. It
- 2:22:21Speaker 2: isn't capitalism if it's paid for by the government. So
- 2:22:25Speaker 2: using private companies to get around constitutional protections of our
- 2:22:29Speaker 2: rights is a common practice, right? So the government isn't
- 2:22:32Speaker 2: going to spy on you.
- 2:22:33Speaker 1: Google isn't.
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: They're just going to buy the data that anybody can get.
- 2:22:36Speaker 1: And so it's not really capitalism.
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: It's the government using the printer, the money printer, to
- 2:22:43Speaker 2: get around the Constitution by hiring companies to surveil you.
- 2:22:46Speaker 1: Hold on, caller. Back with G2 and more of your
- 2:22:49Speaker 1: calls until 7 tonight.
- 2:22:51Speaker 9: NewsRadio 570 WKBN. All right, back to it.
- 2:22:55Speaker 1: NewsRadio 570 WKBN. Ron Verb with G2. Where was that caller?
- 2:22:58Speaker 1: Was I talking to you?
- 2:23:00Speaker 3: Yes, you are.
- 2:23:01Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead.
- 2:23:03Speaker 4: So one of the other things that I would say,
- 2:23:06Speaker 4: one of the first things I wanted to say, just
- 2:23:08Speaker 4: made a note here, is don't use Google.
- 2:23:12Speaker 8: Oh, no.
- 2:23:12Speaker 7: Search.
- 2:23:14Speaker 4: Do a duck-duck-doze search. Do a brave search. There's a
- 2:23:19Speaker 4: whole list of them out there, okay? Don't call it
- 2:23:22Speaker 4: Googling something.
- 2:23:24Speaker 5: Search it.
- 2:23:26Speaker 4: Use the correct word.
- 2:23:28Speaker 3: Anyhow.
- 2:23:30Speaker 4: So I heard Jordan Peterson at one point make the
- 2:23:34Speaker 4: note that at one point the Soviet Union was doing
- 2:23:39Speaker 4: 10,000 prices per month of items, okay, so that they
- 2:23:43Speaker 4: could set the price of things so that they were
- 2:23:46Speaker 4: the correct prices for the people. And they were guaranteed
- 2:23:52Speaker 4: to be wrong, right? Well, it may be that we
- 2:23:56Speaker 4: are now building the technology that that process may become
- 2:24:04Speaker 4: possible because we have so much computing capability and we
- 2:24:10Speaker 4: have the ability for algorithms to maybe do that thing
- 2:24:17Speaker 4: that they were trying to do so that the prices were...
- 2:24:23Speaker 4: quote-unquote fair to the proletariat, okay, and against the bourgeois,
- 2:24:32Speaker 4: that that may be possible so that all the surveillance
- 2:24:36Speaker 4: and so forth, all that data, that tremendous amount of data,
- 2:24:41Speaker 4: is now going to be able to be processed. 20
- 2:24:44Speaker 4: years ago, we didn't have anywhere near the computing power
- 2:24:47Speaker 4: or the storage to do this.
- 2:24:50Speaker 7: Now we may..
- 2:24:52Speaker 4: Be able to actually have an output that is somewhat usable.
- 2:24:59Speaker 4: And that's the scary part.
- 2:25:01Speaker 13: Right.
- 2:25:01Speaker 2: And, you know, if you go back, I think I'd
- 2:25:03Speaker 2: say about 15 years now, there was a massive build-out
- 2:25:08Speaker 2: of data centers across the country, all secret, right?
- 2:25:13Speaker 1: And at the time, that was a lot of volume.
- 2:25:16Speaker 4: Echelon?
- 2:25:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was it.
- 2:25:18Speaker 1: And what's happening now is... a multiple of that. And
- 2:25:21Speaker 1: here's the idea.
- 2:25:23Speaker 2: You're going to give a sales tax abatement to these
- 2:25:24Speaker 2: data folks, right? These computing centers, as I think is
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: a more accurate word, as we said earlier in the show.
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: You're going to give.
- 2:25:31Speaker 2: A sales tax abatement in some states. You might be
- 2:25:33Speaker 2: giving them some other tax abatements. You're going to give
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: them the ability to buy their electricity and water for
- 2:25:40Speaker 2: less because the community is going to pay more. So
- 2:25:42Speaker 2: we're all going to chip in to the cost of
- 2:25:45Speaker 2: supplying them power and water. And so we're going to
- 2:25:47Speaker 2: sort of subsidize them through higher energy water and and
- 2:25:51Speaker 2: through some tax moves, so that they can surveil us.
- 2:25:55Speaker 2: So that these surveillance centers, which is really, they really
- 2:25:57Speaker 2: are computing surveillance tools is what they are, right? And
- 2:26:01Speaker 2: that's what we're doing. And we're being told you have
- 2:26:04Speaker 2: to do it really quick because if you don't get
- 2:26:05Speaker 2: these built, we're not going to tell you what the
- 2:26:07Speaker 2: demand is, how they're going to be used, how they're
- 2:26:09Speaker 2: going to be financed, who's going to own them. We're
- 2:26:10Speaker 2: not going to tell you what the decommissioning, none of
- 2:26:12Speaker 2: that stuff. We're just going to chew up your land, water,
- 2:26:14Speaker 2: and energy, and we're going to use that to surveil
- 2:26:16Speaker 2: you and make you pay for it. This is insanity.
- 2:26:21Speaker 2: right so i'm not saying i don't you know we
- 2:26:23Speaker 2: ought to end all data all attack growth now but
- 2:26:26Speaker 2: i think we ought to reinstate the fourth amendment and
- 2:26:29Speaker 2: i think with these data centers they should there should
- 2:26:32Speaker 2: be a much more thorough analysis about how it's going
- 2:26:35Speaker 2: to be used how it's going to be funded all
- 2:26:37Speaker 2: these things.
- 2:26:37Speaker 1: We've talked about before we start.
- 2:26:39Speaker 2: Ripping up more of this you know some of the
- 2:26:41Speaker 2: best farmland in the world to build surveillance.
- 2:26:44Speaker 4: So i i i think that i think one of
- 2:26:48Speaker 4: the first steps that we need to do is to
- 2:26:51Speaker 4: have some type of recognition on the Fourth Amendment in
- 2:26:57Speaker 4: codified and saying, you can't surveil. And you being government
- 2:27:03Speaker 4: or companies, that our data is our data. And if
- 2:27:08Speaker 4: you want to surveil us, you're going to have to
- 2:27:11Speaker 4: pay us to surveil us.
- 2:27:12Speaker 7: Not us pay you.
- 2:27:14Speaker 2: Imagine when you do a search on an AI tool
- 2:27:17Speaker 2: or in one of the internet search tools like Google
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: or DuckDuckGo, which, by the way, is a great tool
- 2:27:23Speaker 2: and doesn't track you, although it will advertise to you
- 2:27:25Speaker 2: and it will create different things. The results you get
- 2:27:29Speaker 2: are commercial, right? If you pay more, you show up more.
- 2:27:34Speaker 2: So DuckDuckGo is great. And by the way, a VPN
- 2:27:36Speaker 2: is another way to minimize your footprint.
- 2:27:39Speaker 4: All right.
- 2:27:40Speaker 1: Hang on caller back with him and g2 and more
- 2:27:43Speaker 1: your calls till seven.
- 2:27:45Speaker 9: News radio 570 wkvn with g2.
- 2:27:48Speaker 1: All right so let me go back to this caller
- 2:27:51Speaker 1: and so you were saying what caller.
- 2:27:54Speaker 4: Well, I'll just tell you what I noticed while I'm
- 2:27:57Speaker 4: sitting in my office looking at my email, and I
- 2:28:00Speaker 4: just saw that, hey, they sent me an email on
- 2:28:03Speaker 4: my credit rating. So if you think about credit ratings, okay,
- 2:28:11Speaker 4: the credit rating companies, there's three of them, will surveil
- 2:28:15Speaker 4: you essentially, and then the reward for that is that
- 2:28:20Speaker 4: you get Better rates, better insurance rates, better loan rates,
- 2:28:24Speaker 4: and so forth. But we allowed them to surveil you.
- 2:28:29Speaker 4: So way back when, when these credit ratings were starting
- 2:28:34Speaker 4: to be done, we were conditioning the population to be surveilled.
- 2:28:39Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:28:40Speaker 4: And telling them, here's the little candy piece for letting
- 2:28:45Speaker 4: us collect that data.
- 2:28:49Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 2:28:49Speaker 1: I don't think you have any privacy anymore. Well, in general.
- 2:28:55Speaker 4: We have the privacy that we allow ourselves to have, right?
- 2:29:00Speaker 1: If we were.
- 2:29:01Speaker 4: Demanding from our government to not allow companies to even
- 2:29:07Speaker 4: own this data because it is data, okay, or that
- 2:29:11Speaker 4: they would have to pay us for that data, that's
- 2:29:15Speaker 4: the other thing, then maybe we would have a little
- 2:29:18Speaker 4: bit more privacy, right?
- 2:29:20Speaker 2: So when you use an AI tool and it goes
- 2:29:23Speaker 2: out to the Internet and searches all these documents, what's
- 2:29:25Speaker 2: it searching? Well, it's searching the documents that maybe you
- 2:29:29Speaker 2: wrote if you're an author, the podcast you made if
- 2:29:31Speaker 2: you're a podcaster, the radio show you did if you
- 2:29:33Speaker 2: were a radio person. It goes out and surveils all
- 2:29:36Speaker 2: this information that it does not own. It takes that,
- 2:29:40Speaker 2: processes it, and then delivers it and charges you a
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: fee for that.
- 2:29:45Speaker 1: But they never pay for that content.
- 2:29:47Speaker 2: If you had to pay for the data that you
- 2:29:49Speaker 2: take from consumers, if you had to pay for the
- 2:29:51Speaker 2: content you take from people who produce analyses and content
- 2:29:55Speaker 2: of different kinds, all of a sudden, Anthropic's $ 965 billion
- 2:30:00Speaker 2: valuation might be something more reasonable. But it isn't, because
- 2:30:06Speaker 2: they have access to all this stuff that they do
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: not pay for. So, you know, you go back to
- 2:30:10Speaker 2: a Youngstown Vindicator, Warren Tribune, you know, All the stuff
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: that they do is being used by Google and DuckDuckGo
- 2:30:16Speaker 2: and all the rest. And Google then controls the ads. Like,
- 2:30:20Speaker 2: I think it's 70% of the ad revenue, right?
- 2:30:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:30:23Speaker 2: So Google has captured, the Vindicator didn't get.
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: Paid for the ads that came out of its newspapers.
- 2:30:29Speaker 1: They stole all that stuff.
- 2:30:30Speaker 2: They stole it and they never paid the Vindicator for it.
- 2:30:33Speaker 2: So the Vindicator went bankrupt, didn't it?
- 2:30:35Speaker 3: Right?
- 2:30:35Speaker 2: Got sold a fraction of it.
- 2:30:36Speaker 3: Right?
- 2:30:37Speaker 2: You've got these newspapers having a hard time hanging on.
- 2:30:39Speaker 2: You've got people trying to, do different things that can't
- 2:30:42Speaker 2: seem to earn a living doing it, and yet Google
- 2:30:44Speaker 2: makes billions and billions of dollars putting its ads next
- 2:30:48Speaker 2: to their content that it does not pay for. If
- 2:30:51Speaker 2: you reinstated the Fourth Amendment and you did something to
- 2:30:55Speaker 2: force these companies to pay for the content they use,
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: it would completely change the modern economics, and that would
- 2:31:01Speaker 2: be the biggest way to defeat the globalist accumulation of
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: wealth at the expense of the public. They just shouldn't
- 2:31:10Speaker 2: have access to all this for free.
- 2:31:12Speaker 7: With teeth.
- 2:31:13Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean, if you think about it, and so
- 2:31:16Speaker 1: with the changing technology, in some ways we're more informed
- 2:31:21Speaker 1: and in some ways we're not. Right. And what I
- 2:31:28Speaker 1: say to you, listen, everybody's got a cell phone. They
- 2:31:31Speaker 1: know where you are. I mean, your cell phone's always
- 2:31:33Speaker 1: tracking where you are. And this guy's right. You know,
- 2:31:36Speaker 1: if you Google search something, the next thing you know,
- 2:31:38Speaker 1: you know, if you're Google searching some medical problem, you're
- 2:31:41Speaker 1: getting ads for some doctor or you're getting ads for
- 2:31:43Speaker 1: some medication, right? Anything you Google search. So they know
- 2:31:47Speaker 1: what you Google search. They know where you are. If
- 2:31:51Speaker 1: you go to certain sites, you've got to accept the cookies,
- 2:31:54Speaker 1: you know, if you're at those sites. So I just
- 2:31:58Speaker 1: don't think you have any privacy at all anymore. You're
- 2:32:01Speaker 1: on camera everywhere.
- 2:32:02Speaker 4: Yeah. You can make it better by not using Google.
- 2:32:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 2:32:07Speaker 2: If you use DuckDuckGo and you use a European-based VPN
- 2:32:13Speaker 2: service and you drop your phone in a Faraday bag
- 2:32:17Speaker 2: when you don't want to be surveilled, turn off all
- 2:32:20Speaker 2: the Siri capabilities, then you actually can dramatically reduce your footprint.
- 2:32:27Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 2:32:28Speaker 1: But you can't hide if they're looking for you. And
- 2:32:31Speaker 1: there's certain companies that can assist you in that.
- 2:32:37Speaker 3: All right.
- 2:32:37Speaker 1: Is that it, caller?
- 2:32:39Speaker 4: That's it. Two things that I would remind the audience.
- 2:32:45Speaker 4: Dflop.org just to find out what's in your community. And
- 2:32:49Speaker 4: then also, don't use Google.
- 2:32:53Speaker 2: Yeah, don't use Google for anything.
- 2:32:54Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing that I find really amazing.
- 2:32:57Speaker 2: People think that when they write an email in Gmail,
- 2:32:59Speaker 2: They think that when they create something in Google Docs,
- 2:33:02Speaker 2: they think they own it. They don't know that what
- 2:33:05Speaker 2: they're doing is creating content that.
- 2:33:06Speaker 1: Google owns and that Google's.
- 2:33:09Speaker 2: Tools surveil every word you type, every word you say
- 2:33:13Speaker 2: on one of their Android phones, whatever you call them,
- 2:33:16Speaker 2: and everything you put into Google Docs, every word of
- 2:33:19Speaker 2: that is surveilled and added to your dossier.
- 2:33:21Speaker 1: So if you get Gmail.
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: It's... They own it, and if..
- 2:33:28Speaker 4: And the second thing is that if you run a
- 2:33:30Speaker 4: small company and you're using Gmail or Google Docs, they
- 2:33:36Speaker 4: own it all.
- 2:33:38Speaker 1: That's right.
- 2:33:39Speaker 2: That's right. They own it and they can analyze it.
- 2:33:42Speaker 1: And you assume you have privacy, but you don't. You
- 2:33:45Speaker 1: don't even own your own comms. But it's free.
- 2:33:48Speaker 4: Google could be selling all this information to your competitor.
- 2:33:54Speaker 4: In some cases, they could be doing valuations on your
- 2:33:56Speaker 4: company based upon the information that they're gleaning from those
- 2:34:01Speaker 4: Google Docs. I worked for a company that was purchased
- 2:34:05Speaker 4: by Cisco, and we were using Google Docs, and it
- 2:34:08Speaker 4: was amazing to me.
- 2:34:11Speaker 7: That they were using Google Docs.
- 2:34:12Speaker 4: And we, you know, the deepest detail you can imagine
- 2:34:17Speaker 4: on designs and so forth was on Google Docs.
- 2:34:20Speaker 5: It was truly amazing.
- 2:34:22Speaker 2: You know that most Republican committees use Google Docs and
- 2:34:26Speaker 2: Gmail and all these Google products because they're free and
- 2:34:29Speaker 2: they think they're saving money? You know who Google supports?
- 2:34:32Speaker 2: It ain't the Republicans.
- 2:34:34Speaker 4: Right.
- 2:34:36Speaker 5: Truly amazing.
- 2:34:37Speaker 2: We've really, as people, got to take responsibility for this,
- 2:34:40Speaker 2: and it's not that hard to at least minimize your exposure.
- 2:34:44Speaker 2: And a Faraday bag isn't expensive, but when you drop
- 2:34:47Speaker 2: your phone in a Faraday bag and close it up,
- 2:34:51Speaker 2: that's it.
- 2:34:52Speaker 1: It's not connected, and it's not listening.
- 2:34:55Speaker 2: And so if you're having a conversation you'd really like
- 2:34:58Speaker 2: to keep to yourself, use a bag.
- 2:35:02Speaker 1: There you go. All right. Appreciate your time. But you
- 2:35:06Speaker 1: got to what, Alexa? A lot of people have Alexa
- 2:35:09Speaker 1: in their house? Ring cameras everywhere? I did.
- 2:35:13Speaker 2: I told you this. I did Alexa for like three days.
- 2:35:15Speaker 2: It was awesome.
- 2:35:16Speaker 1: I'd say like, play Mozart.
- 2:35:17Speaker 6: Boom.
- 2:35:18Speaker 2: You know, up comes the music. It was fabulous.
- 2:35:19Speaker 1: You mean the Ron Verb program on radio?
- 2:35:21Speaker 2: I'd say, yeah, find Ron Verb, play Ron Verb over
- 2:35:23Speaker 2: and over again in loop. And it was really cool.
- 2:35:27Speaker 2: And I had it for about three days and I
- 2:35:29Speaker 2: unplugged it and threw it in the trash. I mean,
- 2:35:30Speaker 2: I got it for free because they were, you know,
- 2:35:32Speaker 2: passing out free surveillance tools.
- 2:35:34Speaker 1: And, you know, buy this.
- 2:35:36Speaker 2: We'll surveil you for free. And and and then I
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: threw the trash and I won't have that in my house.
- 2:35:41Speaker 2: But but I mean, it is a cool tool to
- 2:35:44Speaker 2: play with, especially when you start asking it for things that,
- 2:35:46Speaker 2: you know, it will be unable to deliver.
- 2:35:48Speaker 1: You know, funny. You know, there's some funny things you could,
- 2:35:52Speaker 1: you know, ask it for. And then you get a fight.
- 2:35:54Speaker 1: It's fun.
- 2:35:55Speaker 2: But it's fun for a little bit and then throw
- 2:35:57Speaker 2: it away.
- 2:35:57Speaker 1: Are you more cognizant of it? I mean, so you
- 2:36:00Speaker 1: don't Google. You duck, duck, go and all that?
- 2:36:03Speaker 2: I haven't used Google in years. My dossier at Google
- 2:36:07Speaker 2: is probably not as good as they think it is. Like,
- 2:36:10Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure they– no, I don't use Google
- 2:36:13Speaker 2: products at all. Now, I'm not completely isolated. I use
- 2:36:17Speaker 2: Apple products. You have an iPhone?
- 2:36:21Speaker 1: I have an iPhone.
- 2:36:22Speaker 2: I turn off most of the Siri capabilities, almost all,
- 2:36:25Speaker 2: I guess maybe all the Siri capabilities, and I connect
- 2:36:28Speaker 2: to the Internet differently. You can tell when somebody doesn't
- 2:36:30Speaker 2: like that. And I do some other things, and then
- 2:36:35Speaker 2: sometimes I just drop it in a bag.
- 2:36:38Speaker 1: Turn it off?
- 2:36:39Speaker 2: Turning it off is a good option, but it's not like..
- 2:36:42Speaker 1: They say you can't really turn it off.
- 2:36:44Speaker 3: No, you can't.
- 2:36:44Speaker 1: Because even if it's off, it's not really off. I
- 2:36:47Speaker 1: think I showed you that Faraday bag last time I'm here.
- 2:36:49Speaker 2: It's over my... over in that bag over there in
- 2:36:51Speaker 2: the chair it's it's it's you know it's a good
- 2:36:54Speaker 2: it's it's simple i just take the phone drop it
- 2:36:57Speaker 2: in there seal it up and drive where i want
- 2:36:59Speaker 2: to drive and if you're driving a car pre-surveillance they
- 2:37:03Speaker 2: can't track you now if you're driving a car that
- 2:37:05Speaker 2: is a toyota of recent years they track you with
- 2:37:09Speaker 2: this tool i think it's in the transmission now and
- 2:37:11Speaker 2: you can't take it out you can't disable it and
- 2:37:14Speaker 2: and as i understand it i haven't been a toyota
- 2:37:16Speaker 2: deal in a while but they want to have you
- 2:37:18Speaker 2: pay to use the navigation system so now the navigation
- 2:37:23Speaker 2: system rather than a cd that's in the in the
- 2:37:25Speaker 2: trunk as they were when they first came out right
- 2:37:27Speaker 2: or in the in the machine in the dash it's
- 2:37:29Speaker 2: going to be an internet enabled surveillance navigation system that
- 2:37:34Speaker 2: they're going to be surveilling and you're going to have
- 2:37:37Speaker 2: to pay a subscription to keep that working and then
- 2:37:40Speaker 2: they take the data of everywhere you go and use
- 2:37:43Speaker 2: it for all these purposes like reporting on you finding
- 2:37:47Speaker 2: out where you should be You know, I can't remember
- 2:37:50Speaker 2: what year it was. BMW's annual report said they were
- 2:37:52Speaker 2: going to make $ 2 billion selling data that they're collecting
- 2:37:55Speaker 2: from drivers. As you buy a car, you have to
- 2:37:59Speaker 2: pay more for the technology, which they use to surveil
- 2:38:02Speaker 2: you so they can sell the data and don't give
- 2:38:04Speaker 2: you a cut.
- 2:38:05Speaker 1: Someone was telling me, and I mentioned this before, you know,
- 2:38:08Speaker 1: on your cell phone they can tell if you're going
- 2:38:09Speaker 1: into Home Depot or Lowe's and they can bombard you
- 2:38:11Speaker 1: with ads that specific on your phone.
- 2:38:13Speaker 2: They try to get you on their network. So in
- 2:38:16Speaker 2: some places, like, you notice how you can't get a
- 2:38:18Speaker 2: signal in some of these stores? I don't think that's accidental.
- 2:38:21Speaker 1: So what's your option? Well, let me go to the
- 2:38:22Speaker 1: free Wi-Fi. And, of course, you don't have a VPN.
- 2:38:26Speaker 2: You just go.
- 2:38:26Speaker 1: And then they track.
- 2:38:27Speaker 2: In some places, they'll track how long you're in front
- 2:38:29Speaker 2: of a certain thing. You know, how many times you've
- 2:38:32Speaker 2: returned to that one spot. You've heard about this variable pricing,
- 2:38:36Speaker 2: personal pricing, where you go into a store and they'll
- 2:38:39Speaker 2: have digital prices. And the price will change based on
- 2:38:42Speaker 2: its evaluation of you. So there's a little camera here.
- 2:38:45Speaker 2: on the shelf that reads your face, identifies you, and
- 2:38:48Speaker 2: you get the price that's identified for you. How do
- 2:38:49Speaker 2: they know? Well, you've got an app on your phone
- 2:38:51Speaker 2: that's your loyalty app, right, where you have your app
- 2:38:55Speaker 2: for that store. You've got your loyalty numbers. They've got
- 2:38:58Speaker 2: your face on data recognition. So if they think you
- 2:39:01Speaker 2: could pay more, you're going to get a different price.
- 2:39:04Speaker 1: That sucks.
- 2:39:05Speaker 2: It's going to suck, yes.
- 2:39:07Speaker 1: So, you know, we're all going to have to go
- 2:39:08Speaker 1: in the store with, like, Mickey Mouse masks. But no
- 2:39:10Speaker 1: one reads those terms of use or terms of conditions.
- 2:39:13Speaker 1: You just collect and accept.
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: See, that's the thing.
- 2:39:16Speaker 1: Well, this is capitalism.
- 2:39:17Speaker 3: No, it isn't.
- 2:39:18Speaker 2: Because capitalism would involve— They're stealing your privacy.
- 2:39:21Speaker 7: They are.
- 2:39:21Speaker 2: And it would involve you making a decision based on
- 2:39:24Speaker 2: having somewhat equal information, having an opportunity to negotiate.
- 2:39:28Speaker 1: You can't negotiate with Apple. And you certainly can't negotiate
- 2:39:31Speaker 1: with Google, the surveillance company.
- 2:39:33Speaker 2: Right? You can't. So the idea that we're clicking accept
- 2:39:37Speaker 2: and it means something is ridiculous. The only way to
- 2:39:40Speaker 2: get protection from these companies is legislation. So they pay
- 2:39:43Speaker 2: a lot of money to D.C. Again, all of this
- 2:39:46Speaker 2: comes back to one move. The move is to crush
- 2:39:50Speaker 2: the Constitution for profit and power. The antidote to that
- 2:39:56Speaker 2: is that we all just stand up, that we start
- 2:39:58Speaker 2: talking about these things, that we start opposing these things,
- 2:40:01Speaker 2: that we start saying to our elected officials, you're to
- 2:40:04Speaker 2: represent me, not JBS, the food and beef manufacturer. You're
- 2:40:09Speaker 2: to represent me, not, you know, Apple. And as long
- 2:40:13Speaker 2: as we accept..
- 2:40:15Speaker 1: Do you think by speaking up and speaking out over
- 2:40:17Speaker 1: the years that you're on the radar screen?
- 2:40:20Speaker 2: I think I've been on some radar.
- 2:40:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I would have to agree. I think you would be.
- 2:40:26Speaker 1: We've gotten a little reprieve here in these last four years.
- 2:40:28Speaker 2: Well, these last two years in this term I felt
- 2:40:32Speaker 2: much better with Tulsi Gabbard in the ODNI position, right,
- 2:40:35Speaker 2: in the DNI position.
- 2:40:37Speaker 1: Think of how evil that was to go after her
- 2:40:40Speaker 1: before she was ever in there, like to inconvenience her.
- 2:40:44Speaker 1: When people talk about Harrison Biden, to use the power
- 2:40:47Speaker 1: of the government to say whenever she flies because she
- 2:40:51Speaker 1: said negative things about Kamala Harris on Fox News, make
- 2:40:54Speaker 1: sure that her security is– put her on a terror
- 2:40:57Speaker 1: watch list. Yes. I mean, her and her husband were
- 2:41:01Speaker 1: hassled for political purposes. She was hassled for free speech.
- 2:41:07Speaker 2: Tulsi Eber's first real crime was going into Syria and
- 2:41:11Speaker 2: speaking to Bashar al-Assad. When she said, you keep telling
- 2:41:15Speaker 2: us this is the boogeyman, I want to meet him.
- 2:41:18Speaker 2: And she went over and said, okay, what's going on?
- 2:41:20Speaker 2: The deep state went berserk. And that, I think, basically
- 2:41:24Speaker 2: was the end of her time in Congress because they
- 2:41:25Speaker 2: just couldn't allow somebody in congress to go out and
- 2:41:28Speaker 2: represent their people and ask real questions and have direct
- 2:41:30Speaker 2: knowledge rather than knowledge provided by the deep state that
- 2:41:33Speaker 2: was the beginning of the end for her in congress
- 2:41:36Speaker 2: but then the irony for become the director of national
- 2:41:39Speaker 2: intelligence was incredible i mean is just incredibly rich right
- 2:41:43Speaker 2: and and of course then we get into this iran
- 2:41:45Speaker 2: war and she won't come out and say there was
- 2:41:47Speaker 2: a nuclear threat because she didn't believe there was because
- 2:41:50Speaker 2: there was one so so eventually laura loomer gets dispatched
- 2:41:54Speaker 2: to the white house to tell trump to get rid
- 2:41:55Speaker 2: of her he didn't But a month later, she was gone. Now,
- 2:42:00Speaker 2: her husband, of course, that's a reason to leave your job.
- 2:42:04Speaker 2: Was that the reason? Was it the only reason? Was
- 2:42:06Speaker 2: there an accommodation that could be made? Don't know.
- 2:42:09Speaker 1: But there's no question they wanted her out.
- 2:42:11Speaker 2: And sooner or later, forces were going to..
- 2:42:13Speaker 1: Because she never publicly spoke out to say that she
- 2:42:16Speaker 1: thought they were close to a nuclear weapon. No, she
- 2:42:18Speaker 1: said the opposite. Because she said they were not.
- 2:42:19Speaker 2: Yeah, before the..
- 2:42:21Speaker 1: Our intelligence... Which was disregarded for Israel's intelligence.
- 2:42:24Speaker 2: And remember, everybody said, I mean, not everybody, but the
- 2:42:27Speaker 2: majority of the people in the administration were saying there
- 2:42:31Speaker 2: is no threat. And we're advising against this war. But,
- 2:42:36Speaker 2: you know, maybe a little hubris from Trump, maybe, you know,
- 2:42:39Speaker 2: and certainly a lot of pressure from Israel. He decided
- 2:42:42Speaker 2: to do it. And if you remember, I read it
- 2:42:44Speaker 2: on the air when someone asked this question. You know,
- 2:42:47Speaker 2: Rubio and others came out and said, Israel is going
- 2:42:49Speaker 2: to attack. We have to do it as well because
- 2:42:51Speaker 2: we're going to be exposed to the counterattack. They didn't
- 2:42:55Speaker 2: say we're going in because there's a nuclear threat. It
- 2:42:57Speaker 2: was later when they said, oh, wait a minute, that
- 2:42:58Speaker 2: didn't work. Oh, there's a nuclear threat. Well, what happened
- 2:43:02Speaker 2: the last year when you said you wiped it out?
- 2:43:05Speaker 1: Do you think anybody will ever be criminally prosecuted for
- 2:43:09Speaker 1: the Epstein situation? No. So when people say there's a
- 2:43:13Speaker 1: two-tier justice system, there is.
- 2:43:15Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a four-tier.
- 2:43:16Speaker 1: How's that?
- 2:43:17Speaker 2: Well, I think you've got.
- 2:43:18Speaker 1: The globalist elite that stand alone.
- 2:43:21Speaker 2: They're wealthy. They're immune. They suffer no consequences. You've got
- 2:43:26Speaker 2: the politically connected that are not as rich as those folks.
- 2:43:31Speaker 1: But involved with Epstein, the wealthy.
- 2:43:34Speaker 2: Well, like the people who burn cities and then were
- 2:43:35Speaker 2: let go, right? I mean, you had the attorney general
- 2:43:38Speaker 2: of California raising bail money for people that were burning
- 2:43:41Speaker 2: cities in 20, right? So they're let go and out
- 2:43:44Speaker 2: they go. And then you have sort of the rich
- 2:43:47Speaker 2: who can afford really good law firms and really good attorneys.
- 2:43:51Speaker 2: And they really, you know, most of the time they
- 2:43:53Speaker 2: can work it out. And then you have regular Joe.
- 2:43:56Speaker 2: Joe Mainstreet doesn't have the money, doesn't have the connections.
- 2:44:00Speaker 2: Joe Mainstreet's the one in the target that can't get
- 2:44:04Speaker 2: out of this.
- 2:44:05Speaker 1: And so that person is the one that suffers the
- 2:44:09Speaker 1: full brunt of the law.
- 2:44:10Speaker 2: And I'm leaving out the fifth tier, which is illegal aliens,
- 2:44:13Speaker 2: as you know, were let out of court so that
- 2:44:14Speaker 2: they couldn't get caught by ICE, right?
- 2:44:16Speaker 1: But, you know, it's at least a four-tier justice system.
- 2:44:19Speaker 1: What amazed me yesterday, I was talking a little bit
- 2:44:21Speaker 1: to some callers about this whole Epstein thing and saying
- 2:44:25Speaker 1: this really should be about the victims and they deserve
- 2:44:27Speaker 1: justice in their day in court. And as I said yesterday,
- 2:44:31Speaker 1: and you'll never see it. You will never see it.
- 2:44:35Speaker 1: And that should be troubling to all of us. But
- 2:44:37Speaker 1: what should be more troubling, well, that should be troubling,
- 2:44:39Speaker 1: but equally as troubling to all of us should be
- 2:44:42Speaker 1: who's got all this information that has the influence over
- 2:44:45Speaker 1: these political figures or these wealthy people. Because somebody has it,
- 2:44:49Speaker 1: and they can still use it.
- 2:44:51Speaker 2: Somebody named Mossad, I suspect. But, you know, let's just
- 2:44:54Speaker 2: see who these people never oppose. Who do they really represent?
- 2:44:57Speaker 2: That's who has that information.
- 2:44:59Speaker 1: Because if you don't do it our way, we'll put
- 2:45:01Speaker 1: it out there.
- 2:45:02Speaker 6: Right.
- 2:45:02Speaker 2: And so to get the United States to a point,
- 2:45:05Speaker 2: and I've got some really smart friends who are great
- 2:45:07Speaker 2: people who buy into the whole thing that Epstein wasn't real,
- 2:45:11Speaker 2: there was nothing really there. Well, then how did it
- 2:45:13Speaker 2: happen for so long? Why is Prince Andrew no longer
- 2:45:15Speaker 2: a prince? I mean, of course there was something there.
- 2:45:18Speaker 1: Why was there a dungeon? You don't build a resort
- 2:45:21Speaker 1: with a dungeon. There's a dungeon. Back with G2. We'll
- 2:45:25Speaker 1: wrap it up. 652 Newsradio 570 WKBN.
- 2:45:30Speaker 9: 570 WKBN.
- 2:45:43Speaker 1: Oh, Lord. I don't know. But he's a lucky man.
- 2:45:49Speaker 1: I'll just say that.
- 2:45:50Speaker 3: All right.
- 2:45:51Speaker 1: Let me see. You're on the air.
- 2:45:54Speaker 5: Yeah, hi.
- 2:45:56Speaker 3: I heard an article about an offshoot of the oil
- 2:46:01Speaker 3: crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. There's a country, I
- 2:46:05Speaker 3: didn't catch the name of it, but apparently they're building
- 2:46:07Speaker 3: their own pipeline so as not to use the Strait
- 2:46:10Speaker 3: of Hormuz. It goes from the oil fields to their refineries.
- 2:46:14Speaker 1: You know that, don't you? Yeah, G2 can tell you that.
- 2:46:18Speaker 2: You know there's this pipeline that the Saudis built a long,
- 2:46:21Speaker 2: long time ago, but we're not using it. at least
- 2:46:24Speaker 2: on a volume and they're putting like seven million barrels
- 2:46:27Speaker 2: a day through that pipeline echoes toward the red sea
- 2:46:30Speaker 2: but he also has a pipeline that that drops down
- 2:46:34Speaker 2: south of the street that allows them to get out
- 2:46:36Speaker 2: but i'll tell you i believe that this will be
- 2:46:39Speaker 2: the last time iran has the ability to stop all
- 2:46:42Speaker 2: of this they're going to be right more pipelines build
- 2:46:44Speaker 2: more infrastructure in place this leverage will be taken away
- 2:46:48Speaker 2: because it makes no sense for sunni nations to be
- 2:46:52Speaker 2: exposed to shia control.
- 2:46:54Speaker 1: You also realize how stupid it was for Biden to
- 2:46:56Speaker 1: stop the Keystone Pipeline, too. What a dump. I mean, really.
- 2:47:00Speaker 3: Actually, it was the Keystone XL Pipeline.
- 2:47:03Speaker 7: Yes.
- 2:47:03Speaker 3: Because that was supposed to transport what's called bitumen, the
- 2:47:08Speaker 3: Albertan tar sands, down to the Gulf Coast refineries. By
- 2:47:12Speaker 3: the way, that's not to be confused with the Keystone
- 2:47:14Speaker 3: Light Pipeline, which goes to Rock Creek.
- 2:47:17Speaker 1: Right. That is really great. You're good. That was pretty good.
- 2:47:29Speaker 3: Thank you. I'll call tomorrow.
- 2:47:30Speaker 7: There's more about..
- 2:47:31Speaker 3: Oh, Emmanuel has to be called out. I hope he
- 2:47:34Speaker 3: calls tomorrow because he's peddling the..
- 2:47:37Speaker 7: Bad fish.
- 2:47:38Speaker 3: You know, there's a coppelier fish somewhere else. The old
- 2:47:41Speaker 3: saying goes that we have no capacity to refine heavy
- 2:47:44Speaker 3: oil in America. There's 14 refineries on the Gulf Coast
- 2:47:49Speaker 3: that are capable of refining the crude oil from Chevron,
- 2:47:54Speaker 3: not from Chevron, from Venezuela, and by Tumen. Chevron is
- 2:47:59Speaker 3: one of the four. There's four that I remember. Chevron, BP, Marathon,
- 2:48:03Speaker 3: and Valero have refineries. Here's like 14 from Texas, Louisiana.
- 2:48:11Speaker 1: If you want something, you almost wonder if the government
- 2:48:15Speaker 1: shouldn't help build more refineries because there's big problems.
- 2:48:18Speaker 2: I think it is way past time for the Trump
- 2:48:21Speaker 2: administration to declare a national emergency and seize control of
- 2:48:24Speaker 2: the other refineries in California and hand them back to
- 2:48:27Speaker 2: the companies that ran them and defend them from the
- 2:48:30Speaker 2: state of California. This ridiculous thing between the CCP and
- 2:48:33Speaker 2: the Chinese of the... Californians to close those refineries. That
- 2:48:38Speaker 2: is a national crisis.
- 2:48:39Speaker 1: Hey, thank you for your call. Thank you, G2. Appreciate it.
- 2:48:41Speaker 2: That was fun.
- 2:48:48Speaker 1: From ABC News, I'm Dave Packer.
- 2:48:51Speaker 18: A White House official confirms to ABC News that President
- 2:48:54Speaker 18: Trump in France for the G7 summit signed that Memorandum
- 2:48:58Speaker 18: of Understanding with Iran today to end the war. It
- 2:49:00Speaker 18: would lift the American blockade of Iranian ports, reward Iran
- 2:49:04Speaker 18: for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and lay the groundwork
- 2:49:06Speaker 18: for 60 days of future talks about their nuclear program.
- 2:49:10Speaker 18: President Trump asked how the memorandum will deliver results if
- 2:49:13Speaker 18: it's not binding.
- 2:49:13Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be. I let him know.
- 2:49:16Speaker 17: I said, look, if you don't adhere to the agreement,
- 2:49:19Speaker 17: I don't want to do that, but we're going to
- 2:49:21Speaker 17: bomb the hell out of you. And I don't think
- 2:49:24Speaker 17: that they're going to veer from the agreement. What else
- 2:49:26Speaker 17: am I going to do? Am I going to say
- 2:49:27Speaker 17: I'm going to take you to court?
- 2:49:28Speaker 18: The Federal Reserve announcing it will leave interest rates unchanged.
- 2:49:32Speaker 18: It was Kevin Warsh's first rate announcement as Fed chair.
- 2:49:35Speaker 4: Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace.
- 2:49:38Speaker 1: Despite elevated uncertainty that owes in part to the conflict
- 2:49:42Speaker 1: in the Middle East.
- 2:49:43Speaker 18: President Trump laying hardball with the Senate, saying that he
- 2:49:45Speaker 18: will not approve FISA, a key national security tool that
- 2:49:49Speaker 18: has already expired, until Republicans pass a sweeping voter ID law.
- 2:49:53Speaker 19: The president says he's also delaying the nomination of Jay
- 2:49:56Speaker 19: Clayton to serve as the director of national intelligence until
- 2:50:00Speaker 19: his other judicial nominees get through. Clayton was scheduled to
- 2:50:03Speaker 19: start his confirmation hearings today. This means that Bill Pulte,
- 2:50:06Speaker 19: a man with no intelligence experience, will be serving in
- 2:50:10Speaker 19: that role for now. Republicans are no fan of Pulte.
- 2:50:13Speaker 19: The president knows that, and now he's using it as leverage.
- 2:50:15Speaker 1: ABC's Rachel Scott.
- 2:50:16Speaker 18: Lawyers for accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione offered a
- 2:50:21Speaker 18: new defense that could mean a reduced charge in his
- 2:50:23Speaker 18: state murder case.
- 2:50:24Speaker 16: After spending about 18 months arguing he was not responsible
- 2:50:27Speaker 16: for the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Luigi Mangione's
- 2:50:31Speaker 16: lawyers signaled that they're instead going to argue that he
- 2:50:34Speaker 16: was going through an emotional episode.
- 2:50:36Speaker 2: ABC's Peter Haralambous.
- 2:50:37Speaker 18: A judge today sentencing convicted Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex
- 2:50:41Speaker 18: Uriman to life in prison.
- 2:50:43Speaker 1: You're listening to ABC News.
